PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information more fully described elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the following summary together with the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information regarding us and the common stock being sold in this offering, and our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 before deciding to invest in our common stock. Unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Cross Border Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Overview of the Company
Cross Border Resources, Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company with its headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, resulting from the business combination of Doral Energy Corp (“Doral”) and Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure L.P.”), effective January 3, 2011. The business combination of Doral and Pure L.P. was completed by the transfer of all of Pure L.P.’s oil and gas assets and liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Energy Group, Inc. (“Pure Sub”), and the subsequent merger (the “Pure Merger”) of Pure Sub with a wholly owned subsidiary of Doral incorporated for the purpose of completing the Pure Merger.
The Company currently owns over 800,000 gross (approximately 300,000 net) mineral and lease acres within the state of New Mexico. Over 31,000 of these net acres exist within the Permian Basin. Unlike many exploration and production organizations, 99% of our acreage consists of either owned mineral rights or leases held by production.
Current development of the Company’s acreage is focused on our prospective Bone Spring acreage located in the heart of the 1st and 2nd Bone Spring play. This play encompasses approximately 4,390 square miles across both New Mexico and Texas. The Company currently owns varying, non-operated working interest in both Eddy and Lea counties, New Mexico, in conjunction with our working interest partners who include Cimarex, Apache, and Mewbourne, all of whom having significant footprints within this play.
Additional development is currently underway on our Abo, Yeso, and San Andres acreage with our other working interest partners, Concho Resources and Cimarex. The Company currently has drilling inventory across these formations with varying non-operated working interests ranging from 3% to 90%.
The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 22610 US Highway 281 N., Suite 218, San Antonio, TX 78258, and our telephone number is (210) 226-6700. Our website address is http://www.xbres.com. The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Our business faces many risks. We believe the risks described below are the material risks facing the Company. However, the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional unknown risks or risks that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the events or circumstances described below actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline significantly. Investors should consider the specific risk factors discussed below, together with the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and the other information contained in this registration statement and the other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have an operating deficit.
Currently, our operations are not profitable. Doral Energy Corp. (prior to the merger) incurred losses since inception. We may never be able to achieve profitability.
We have recently merged operations and therefore have a short combined operating history and no combined audited financial statements.
On January 3, 2011, the Company effected a business combination with Pure L.P. Pure L.P. appointed three new directors, and the Company hired new officers. Because of this recent merger, the Company has a very short operating history for the combined operations. Furthermore, Doral’s fiscal year ended on July 31, 2010, and Pure L.P.’s fiscal year ended on December 31, 2010; therefore the Company does not have consolidated audited financial statements for the newly-combined entity.
The loss of our key persons, or our failure to attract and retain additional personnel could adversely affect our business.
Because we are a small company, our success depends greatly upon the efforts, abilities, and decision-making of our executive officers. The loss of any of these persons would have an adverse effect on our business prospects. We do not currently maintain "key-man" life insurance. In the event that we should lose our officers and we are unable to find suitable replacements, we may not be able to maintain or develop our business, in which case investors might lose all of their investment.
If we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, this may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 36,363,637 shares of common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized capital stated in the articles of incorporation. We contemplate that our board of directors may authorize the issuance of some or all of such shares to provide the Company with additional capital or as compensation for consultants and independent contractors providing services to the Company. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. It will also cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders.
We have never paid dividends and do not intend to pay any in the foreseeable future, which may delay or prevent recovery of your investment.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. If we do not pay dividends, this may delay or prevent recovery of your investment. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, it is possible that our funding sources might prohibit the payment of dividends.
Risks Relating to Our Industry
Our future performance depends upon our ability to obtain capital to find or acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
Unless we successfully replace the reserves that are reduced by production, our reserves will decline, resulting eventually in a decrease in oil and natural gas production and lower revenues and cash flows from operations. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our oil and natural gas reserves is limited by our relatively small size. Further, we may commence drilling operations on our properties and any other properties that we acquire in an effort to increase production, which would require more capital than we have available from cash flow from operations or our existing debt facilities. In such case, we would be required to seek additional sources of financing or limit our participation in additional drilling operations. In addition, our drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reserves will be discovered.
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed, could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations will be subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploitation and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill development wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploitation and development activities, the presence of unanticipated formation pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploitation, development and production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploitation and development efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and development activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
In addition, the availability of a ready market for our oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. Failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our proposed oil and gas business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
The future performance of our oil and gas business will depend upon an ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Success will depend upon the ability to acquire working and net revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and the ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition, exploitation, and development activities, we will not be able to develop oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances oil and gas reserves will be identified or acquired on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploitation and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental risks, and other factors. Such assessments are inexact and uncertain. In addition, no assurances can be given that our exploitation and development activities will result in the discovery of any reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, unusual or unexpected formation pressures, and other work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
(a)
|
weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
|
(b)
|
economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States and elsewhere;
|
(c)
|
actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries;
|
(d)
|
political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions;
|
(e)
|
governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
|
(f)
|
domestic and foreign tax policy;
|
(g)
|
the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;
|
(h)
|
the price of foreign imports of oil and gas;
|
(i)
|
the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas; the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
|
(j)
|
the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves;
|
(k)
|
available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity;
|
(l)
|
the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital;
|
(m)
|
the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and
|
(n)
|
the availability of alternate fuel sources.
|
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but also could reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. Commodity prices are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Hedging transactions may limit potential gains on increases to oil and gas prices.
From time to time, the Company may enter into hedging transactions. If we do enter into hedging transactions, they will likely be for a portion of our expected production for the purpose of reducing the risk of fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Although these hedging transactions would be expected to provide us with some protection in the event of a decrease in oil and gas prices, they may limit our potential gains in the event that oil and gas prices increase. Although we are currently engaged in hedging arrangements, if we choose not to engage in hedging arrangements in the future, we may be more adversely affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices than our competitors who engage in hedging arrangements.
We may encounter difficulty in obtaining equipment and services.
Higher oil and natural gas prices and increased oil and natural gas drilling activity generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices and unavailability for drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services. While we have recently been successful in acquiring or contracting for services, we could experience difficulty obtaining drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services in the future. These shortages could also result in increased costs or delays in timing of anticipated development or cause interests in oil and natural gas leases to lapse. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement our drilling plans or at costs that will be as estimated or acceptable to us.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our oil and gas assets may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formation pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if excessive water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is contaminated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, taxes, royalties, land lease tenure, allowable production volumes, and environmental protection regulations.
If we are unable to maintain our working interests in leases, our business will be adversely affected.
Our oil and gas assets are held under oil and gas leases. A failure to meet the specific requirements of each lease may cause that lease to terminate or expire. There are no assurances the obligations required to maintain those leases will be met and that we will be able to meet the rental obligations under federal, state and private oil and gas leases. If we are unable to make rental payments and satisfy any other conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in the properties that we may acquire.
Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless.
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. In acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases, we may forgo the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we may rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease specific oil or gas interest. This is customary practice in the oil and gas industry. As a result, we may be unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such deficiencies could render the lease worthless.
If we fail to maintain adequate operating insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected. The liability insurance we maintain may not be adequate to cover losses our business may incur.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We maintain well control, re-drill, environmental cleanup, and liability insurance on all of our field production and future drilling operations. However, the occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that would happen to be not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact prospective production.
The oil and gas business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur, resulting in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We will be competing with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we have, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire oil and gas properties will depend upon its ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
Risks Relating to Our Stock
The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX under the symbol “XBOR.” Companies quoted on the in the OTC market have traditionally experienced extreme price and trading volume fluctuations. We have experienced price and volume fluctuations. In addition, our stock price may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. The Company is a former shell company and the market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this potential price and volume volatility, an investor may have difficulty selling any of our common stock that they acquire at a price equal or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 and not listed to trade on certain national securities exchanges.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1.
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
2.
|
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
|
3.
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
4.
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
5.
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
6.
|
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and those described from time to time in our reports which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in their entireties.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock offered for resale by them under this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders covered by this prospectus; however, we will receive proceeds from cash payments made in connection with the exercise of warrants held by selling stockholders that are covered by this prospectus. We intend to use proceeds from the cash exercise of warrants, if any, for general working capital.

As of July 19, 2011, we had 16,151,946 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and there were 139 holders of record of our common stock. The closing sales price for our common stock on July 19, 2011 was $2.00, as reported by the OTCQX.
Dividends
We have not declared any dividends on our common stock since our inception. Pure L.P. did make distributions on a routine basis. However, we currently intend to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of any dividends in the future by us will be subject to the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, covenants associated with certain of our debt obligations and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
There are no dividend restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws. Our governing statute, Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), does provide limitations on our ability to declare dividends. Section 78.288 of the NRS prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and condensed financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this registration statement. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” section of this registration statement for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” at the beginning of this registration statement.

Revenues and Gains
We recognized $3,852,715 in revenues primarily from sales of oil and natural gas for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $3,440,896 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Also contributing to the increase was a gain on the sale of oil and gas properties during 2010 of $97,436. The increase in revenue was due primarily to higher average sales prices during 2010 as compared to 2009. We report our revenues on wells in which we have a working interest based on information received from operators. The recognition of revenues in this manner is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Operating Expenses

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization declined approximately 61% in 2010 as compared to 2009. This was primarily due to higher depletion during 2009 as the result of new wells coming on line that year.
We recognized $1,059,189 in general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $890,756 for the year ended December 31, 2009. This $168,433 increase resulted primarily from increased legal and other professional fees. Higher rent and bank charges also contributed to the increase.
Other Expenses
Interest expense declined slightly to $413,338 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 from $424,420 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decline is attributable to lower average balances outstanding on the debentures.

Revenues and Gains
We recognized $1,671,577 in revenues from sales of oil and natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $1,010,733 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase in revenue is due primarily to a combination of increased production from wells added period over period and increased production brought on through the Pure Merger. In addition, prices for the oil and natural gas sold period over period increased. We report our revenues on wells in which we have a working interest based on information received from operators. The recognition of revenues in this manner is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

We recognized $873,146 in general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $228,899 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase resulted from $30,492 of share-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition we incurred approximately $255,000 of non-recurring expenses associated with the Merger. The remaining $360,000 in increased expenses is primarily attributable to additional general and administrative costs associated with combining operations and incremental overhead associated with being a public company.
Non-recurring Expense
As a result of the merger the Company incurred approximately $255,000 in non-recurring expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Approximately, $100,000 was incurred in additional legal, accounting and professional fees. In addition, approximately $155,000 was incurred in transaction related fees and expenses. Management does not expect similar items to occur in the future quarters.
Liquidity
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Texas Capital Bank
On January 31, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (“TCB”), with a maturity date of January 31, 2014. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with an initial borrowing base of US $4,000,000. Provided that the trustee for the Company’s Debentures consents, the amount available under the Credit Agreement may be increased by TCB up to $25,000,000 based on the Company’s reserve reports and the value of the Company’s oil and gas properties. If the trustee for the Debentures does not consent, the maximum allowed under the Indenture for the Debentures will be limited to $5,000,000. As of June 30, 2011, the balance of the loan with TCB is $1,000.00. The Company has available to it $3,999,000.00 under the credit facility with TCB.
2011 Equity Financing
On May 26, 2011, the Company closed a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In the offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,600,000 units. Each unit was sold at $1.50 and was comprised of one share of common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase a share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. The warrants are exercisable beginning on November 26, 2011. The Company agreed to use the net proceeds from the sale of the units for general business and working capital purposes and not to use such proceeds for the redemption of any common stock or common stock equivalents.
The investors in the offering received registration rights. The Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issued and the common stock underlying the warrants issued to the Selling Stockholders within sixty days after the closing date. If the registration statement is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the SEC shall have informed the Company that no review of the Registration Statement will be made or that the SEC has no further comments on the Registration Statement or (ii) the 120th day after the Closing Date, then the Company will make pro rata cash payments to each Purchaser as liquidated damages in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Purchaser for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective. If at the time of exercise of the warrants there is no effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrant, then the Selling Stockholder has the right at such time to exercise warrants in full or in part on a cashless basis.
In addition to registration rights, the Selling Stockholders were offered a right of first refusal to participate in future offerings of common stock if the principal purpose of which is to raise capital. This right of first refusal terminates upon the earlier of a sale, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company or the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date.
Warrant Exercise Proceeds
In connection with the equity offering closed on May 26, 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per-share price of $2.25. The Company also has outstanding warrants to purchase 3,125 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per-share price of $5.00.
If all of these warrants are exercised for cash, the Company would receive $8,115,625.00 in aggregate proceeds. The warrants to purchase the 3,600,000 shares are not exercisable until November 2011. We do not expect the immediate exercise of these warrants as the exercise price currently exceeds the average closing price. Furthermore, we cannot make assurances that any of the warrants will ever be exercised for cash or at all.
Contractual Obligations
Debentures
Upon completion of the Pure Merger (as described on p. 20 under the heading “Reverse Split of Common Stock and Merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P.”), the Company assumed all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Pure L.P., including the rights and obligations of Pure L.P. under the 7 ½% Debentures, Series 2005 (the “Debentures”) issued by Pure L.P. in March 2005. The Debentures mature on March 1, 2015, with interest accruing at a rate of 7½% per annum, payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each a “Payment Date”). As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $4,025,000.00 in aggregate principal owed on the Debentures. The following is a brief summary of the material terms of the Debentures. The following description of the Debentures does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture of Trust for the Debentures, dated as of March 1, 2005 (the “Indenture”) referenced as Exhibit 4.1 hereto. Pure L.P. continues to be a party to, and obligated under the terms of, the Debentures.
The Debentures are 7 1/2% Debentures maturing on March 1, 2015, and are each dated their date of issue. The Debentures were originally issued jointly by Pure Energy Group, Inc. and Pure L.P. at 96.608% of par value. Semi-annual interest and mandatory principal payments (the mandatory sinking fund redemptions) have been made in accordance with the mandatory sinking fund redemption payments discussed below.
The Debentures were issued under the Indenture between the Pure Energy Group, Inc., Pure L.P. and First Security Bank, Searcy, Arkansas, as the trustee ("Trustee"). The proceeds of the Debentures were used to finance (i) the final payments of Pure Energy Group, Inc. pursuant to their Second Plan of Reorganization approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, on December 2, 2002 (the “Court Case”); (ii) to pay off the outstanding balance of their then operating line of credit; (iii) to provide working capital for the Pure Energy Group; and (iv) to fund capitalized interest on the Debentures through September 1, 2005. The Debentures are direct general obligations secured by a subordinate lien on the revenues of the Company, subject and subordinate to the superior lien in favor of Texas Capital Bank N.A. The Debentures are not secured by a pledge of or lien upon any specific item of property, real or personal, of the Company. The Debentures are not rated.
Redemption:
The Debentures are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in part on any Payment Date and in whole at any time, at par value. In case of any such optional redemption, the Company shall, at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to debenture trustee (the “Trustee”)), deliver a written request notifying the Trustee of such redemption date and of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed.
Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption:
The Debentures are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to maturity in part, with the Debentures to be redeemed being selected by lot by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee may determine. The mandatory sinking fund redemption price is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium, in the amounts and on the dates as follows:

The Company has the option to receive credit for any previous redemptions made by it (other than a mandatory sinking fund redemption) against the mandatory sinking fund redemption amounts to be made as described above. To exercise this right, the Company must provide the Trustee with notice at least 30 days prior to the particular mandatory sinking fund redemption date.
The Debentures are subject to extraordinary optional redemption (which redemption shall be mandatory in the circumstances provided below) as a whole or in part upon the occurrence of any of the following events, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Debentures then outstanding to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for such redemption (which date shall be the earliest practicable date in accordance with the Indenture) and without premium:
|
(a)
|
Any one of the Company’s production wells or other facilities, or any part thereof, is so demolished, destroyed or damaged that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Company, all or a portion of the well or facility cannot be restored or rebuilt with available funds to a profitable condition within the term of business interruption insurance covering the operations of the Company and the net proceeds resulting from such casualty are more than the lesser of $500,000 or the outstanding principal amount of all Debentures;
|
|
(b)
|
All or a portion of the Company’s production wells or other facilities shall have been taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental authority or so much of the Company’s wells or facilities is taken or is so diminished in value that the remainder thereof cannot, in the judgment of the Company, continue to be operated profitably for the purpose for which it was being used immediately prior to such taking or diminution and the proceeds resulting from such condemnation are more than the lesser of $500,000 or the outstanding principal amount of all Debentures;
|
|
(c)
|
On any date upon not less than ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice in the event of the occurrence of a “Change in Control”, unless waived by the Debenture holders of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Debentures outstanding. The term "Change in Control" means the happening of any one or more of the following events:
|
|
(i)
|
Approval by the Company of the acquisition by any individual, entity or group, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding “Voting Securities” (meaning, the shares of common stock of the Company entitled to vote);
|
|

Little Bay and Green Shoe Notes
On March 31, 2011, we refinanced certain indebtedness owed to Little Bay Consulting SA (“Little Bay”) and Green Shoe Investments Ltd. (“Green Shoe”) in the amounts of $595,423.47 and $550,935.91, respectively. On June 3, 2011, the Company made a principal payment on each of these loans to reduce the principal balance to $396,968.83 and $367,308.97, respectively. These loans mature on September 30, 2012, and require no periodic payments until maturity. The Loans accrue interest at a rate of 9.99% and are unsecured. However, each has been granted the right to convert the principal and interest owed into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $4.00 per share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States has required our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011 included in this Registration Statement on Form S-1.
The consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 presented with this Registration Statement on Form S-1 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of March 31, 2011, and for all periods presented in the attached financial statements, have been included. Because we have recently acquired new assets and plan to continue to do so, results for prior years or the first quarter of this year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost, and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable – Production
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for oil and gas sales and are considered fully collectible by the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company determines when receivables are past due based on how recently payments have been received.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in producing wells when oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells.
Property and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. These methods do not materially differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation expense was $9,479 and $7,465 for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations under the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). Under this method, when legal obligations for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are incurred, a liability is recorded at fair value and the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased. Accretion of liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1,165,503 and $508,588, respectively.
The following is a description of the changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the period ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Income Taxes
The Company is a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes for which an income tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences between the enacted tax rates and the effective tax rates are primarily the result of timing differences in the recognition of depletion and accretion expenses. These differences do not create a material variance between the enacted tax rate and the effective tax rate.
Use of Estimates
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, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion of proved oil and natural gas properties and costs to abandon oil and gas properties.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, and (2) forecast forward price curves for natural gas and crude oil. The oil and gas industry in the United States has historically experienced substantial commodity price volatility, and such volatility is expected to continue in the future. Commodity prices affect the level of reserves that are considered commercially recoverable, significantly influence the Company’s current and future expected cash flows, and impact the PV10 derivation of proved reserves.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the balance sheets, except for long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rates for similar types of debt.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The merger and acquisition of Pure Sub (the subsidiary of Pure L.P. as described below in the Description of Business) has been treated as a “reverse acquisition” for financial reporting and accounting purposes. As a result, it is expected that Pure Sub will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting and accounting purposes. As such, effective January 6, 2011, the Company engaged Darilek, Butler & Associates PLLC (“Darilek, Butler”), the principal independent accountants for the Pure Energy Group, as the Company’s principal independent accountants, and dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as the Company’s principal independent accountants. The engagement of Darilek, Butler and the dismissal of MaloneBailey was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The engagement of Darilek, Butler and the dismissal of MaloneBailey are more fully described in the Company’s Form 8-K dated January 3, 2011.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Overview
Cross Border Resources, Inc. is an oil and gas exploration company resulting from the business combination of Doral and Pure L.P., effective January 3, 2011. We own over 800,000 gross (approximately 300,000 net) mineral and lease acres within the state of New Mexico. Over 31,000 of these net acres exist within the Permian Basin. Unlike most E&P organizations, 99% of our acreage consists of either owned mineral rights or leases held by production.
Current development of our acreage is focused on our prospective Bone Spring acreage located in the heart of the 1st and 2nd Bone Spring play. This play encompasses approximately 4,390 square miles across both New Mexico and Texas. We currently own varying, non-operated working interest in both Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico, along with our working interest partners that include Cimarex, Apache, and Mewbourne, all having significant footprints within this play.
Additional development is currently underway on our Abo, Yeso, and San Andres acreage with our other working interest partners, Concho Resources and Cimarex. We currently have a drilling inventory across these formations with varying non-operated working interests ranging from 3%-90%.
Our management team has worked diligently to provide the Company’s shareholders a platform to capitalize on the current Bone Spring trend and will seek additional non-operated opportunities within the Permian Basin that will produce accretive value to shareholders. Ultimately, we will seek to become the owner of non-operated working interests in the various emerging plays within the Permian Basin, in addition to participating in more conventional plays to establish a balanced oil and gas portfolio for shareholders.
Corporate History of Pure
Pure Energy Group, Inc. organized and incorporated in the State of Texas on August 18, 1999, as a startup company. In November 1999, Pure Energy Group, Inc. entered into a purchase and sale agreement, secured by a senior note, with Manix Energy, LLC (“Manix”) pursuant to which Pure Energy Group, Inc. and Bellweather Petroleum, Inc. entered into a joint venture in which each agreed to purchase from Manix a fifty percent (50%) undivided interest in all of the New Mexico acreage and production formerly owned by Fina Oil and Gas. The purchase included 234 non-operated producing wells, 790,000 gross (297,000 net) mineral acres, and preferential rights to purchase certain Conoco Oil and Gas properties in southwest New Mexico.
In November 2001, due to losses incurred as a result of a failed attempt on a second sizeable acquisition, funded primarily through proceeds of private debt issued by insiders, and the resulting inability to meet credit obligations, Pure Energy Group, Inc. filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division (the “Court Case”). On December 2, 2002, Pure Energy Group, Inc. reorganized and emerged from the Court Case following the infusion of additional capital. As part of the Court Case’s Plan of Reorganization, Pure Energy Group, Inc. paid the Manix senior secured seller note in full and received a release of all liens and encumbrances related to all properties acquired in the 1999 purchase.
In 2002, Pure Gas Partners, L.P. was formed as a Texas limited partnership to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pure Energy Group, Inc., a Texas corporation, and to continue to acquire, develop, manage, lease and operate oil and gas properties. In 2004, Pure L.P. was formed to be the operating subsidiary of Pure Gas Partners, L.P. Pure Gas Partners, L.P. owns a 99.99% limited partnership interest and Pure Energy Group, Inc. owns a 0.01% general partnership interest in Pure L.P. (the operating subsidiary).
Corporate History of Doral Energy Corp.
Doral Energy Corp. incorporated on October 25, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name “Language Enterprises Corp.” On July 29, 2008, we acquired a working interest in 66 producing oil fields and approximately 186 wells (the “Eddy County Properties”) in and around Eddy County, New Mexico. As a result of our acquisition of the Eddy County Properties, we changed our business focus to the acquisition, exploration, operation and development of oil and gas projects and we ceased being a “shell company.” On August 4, 2008, we filed our Form 8-K that included the information that would be required if we were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 as a smaller reporting company.
On January 12, 2009, we completed a 6.25-for-1 reverse split of our common stock, decreasing our authorized share capital from 2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. On September 14, 2009, we completed a 5-for-1 forward split of our common stock, increasing our authorized capital to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Shareholder approval of the above actions was not required under Nevada law.
In June 2010, we closed a contract with Alamo Resources LLC to sell our domestic oil and gas properties located in Eddy County, New Mexico (the “Hanson Properties”) and fixed assets, except for fixed assets located in our corporate office in Midland Texas. Also in June 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of 6,800 acres of operated producing oil and gas assets (the “Stearns Properties”) located in Chavez County and Roosevelt County, New Mexico. The Stearns Properties consists of 15 leases then producing approximately 54 BOPD (8/8ths), with working interests ranging from 37.9% to 100%, with associated net revenue interests ranging from 32.3% to 87.5%.
2010 Reverse Split of Common Stock and Merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P.
Effective December 27, 2010, the Company completed a 1-for-55 reverse split of its common stock in accordance with Article 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split resulted in a decrease in the Company’s authorized share capital from 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 36,363,637 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, with a corresponding decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 135,933,086 shares to 2,471,544 shares (after accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number). Completion of the Reverse Split was a condition precedent for the merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure L.P.”).
Effective January 3, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Pure Sub as contemplated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 2, 2010 (the “Pure Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Doral Acquisition Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Doral Sub”), Pure L.P. and Pure Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure L.P.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Pure Merger Agreement, all of Pure L.P.’s oil and gas assets and liabilities were transferred to Pure Sub. Pure Sub was then merged with and into Doral Sub, with Doral Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Pure Merger”). Upon completion of the Pure Merger, the outstanding shares of Pure Sub were converted into an aggregate of 9,981,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Pure Merger, Pure L.P. was issued approximately 80% of the Company’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, with the Company’s previous stockholders owning the remaining 20%. Since the Pure Merger, Pure L.P. has distributed all of its shares of the Company to the partners of Pure L.P. so that Pure L.P. is no longer a shareholder of the Company.
Upon closing of the Pure Merger, Lawrence J. Risley, Richard F. LaRoche Jr. and John Hawkins were appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors as nominees of the Pure Energy Group. Mr. Risley was also appointed as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer and P. Mark Stark was appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Everett Willard Gray, II continued to act as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Brad E. Heidelberg continued to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.
Effective January 4, 2011, following closing of the Pure Merger, Doral Sub was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon completing the merger of Doral Sub with and into the Company, the Company changed its name to “Cross Border Resources, Inc.”
Competitive Business Conditions
We operate in the oil and gas industry, which is a highly competitive environment. Competition is particularly intense with respect to the acquisition of desirable producing properties, the acquisition of oil and gas prospects suitable for enhanced production efforts, marketing oil and natural gas, and the hiring of experienced personnel. Our competitors in oil and gas acquisition, development, and production include the major oil companies in addition to numerous independent oil and gas companies, individual proprietors and drilling programs. Many of these competitors possess and employ financial and personnel resources substantially greater than those which are available to us and may be able to pay more for desirable producing properties and prospects and to define, evaluate, bid for, and purchase a greater number of producing properties and prospects than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to identify, evaluate, and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in such a highly competitive environment, in competition with these companies. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and gas industry.
The actual price range of crude oil is largely established by major crude oil purchasers and commodities trading. Pricing for natural gas is based on regional supply and demand conditions. To this extent, we work to insure that we receive competitive oil and natural gas prices comparable to other producers in the areas which we operate. There is little risk of domestic overproduction at current prices is not deemed to be significant. We view our primary pricing risk to be related to a potential decline in oil and natural gas prices to a level which could render our current production uneconomical.
We are not subject to such third-party gathering systems for our oil production. All oil production is transported by the oil purchaser by trucks with competitive trucking costs in the area.
Major Customers
We sell oil and natural gas to four customers: Navajo Refining Company, ConocoPhillips Company, DCP Midstream LP, and Frontier Field Services. Currently, ConocoPhillips Company purchases 100% of our crude oil production. However, we believe that the loss of this customer would not materially impact our business, because other purchasers for our oil produced are available in our production area.
Government and Environmental Regulation
The oil and gas industry is subject to heavy regulation at the federal, state and local levels. These regulations include regulations:
|
·
|
requiring permits for the drilling of wells,
|
|
·
|
requiring the posting of bonds for drilling and/or operating wells,
|
|
·
|
governing the location of wells,
|
|
·
|
governing the methods used to drill wells,
|
|
·
|
governing surface area usage and the restoration of the land upon which wells are drilled,
|
|
·
|
governing the plugging and abandoning of wells and the disposal of waste materials used in or generated in drilling operations, and
|
|
·
|
setting certain environmental conservation restrictions.
|
The cost of complying with these regulations is high and these regulations can have the effect of limiting our ability to engage in oil and gas exploration activities and when or where those activities take place. Some of these laws and regulations, including the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (also known as CERCLA or the “Superfund” law), may impose strict liability for environmental damage caused by hazardous wastes released during oil and gas exploration and production activities. As a result, we could become liable for the costs of environmental cleanups, environmental damages and, in some cases, consequential damages, regardless of whether or not there was any negligence or fault on our part. In some cases, regulations may also require oil and gas production levels to be kept at a level that is lower than what would be economically optimal. In other cases, we may be completely prohibited from drilling exploratory or production wells in certain environmentally sensitive areas even if we believe that there are economically viable oil and gas deposits in those areas. If we violate any of these environmental laws or regulations, we could become subject to heavy fines or sanctions and/or be required to incur significant costs for environmental clean up and remediation. In addition, neighboring landowners and other third parties could file claims for personal injury or for damage to property or natural resources caused by oil and gas exploration activities.
We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. To date, we have not been required to expend substantial amounts of money in complying with these laws and regulations and we anticipate that the costs associated with future compliance will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position. However, the laws and regulations governing the oil and gas industry are subject to constant change as environmental issues relating this industry remain highly politicized. Proposals and proceedings affecting oil and gas exploration activities are periodically presented to Congress and federal regulatory bodies as well as to state legislative and regulatory bodies. We cannot predict when or whether such proposals may become effective. There is no assurance that the future regulatory environment for oil and gas activities will be consistent with the current regulatory environment. We will need to constantly monitor developments in environmental and other laws and regulations applicable to oil and gas activities in order to ensure compliance. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet the costs associated with regulatory compliance in the future.
Hedging Transactions
In previous years, we entered into a “costless collar” hedging position, and later a combination of swaps and costless collars, which provided us with partial protection against variations in the price of crude oil. In 2010, we closed out all of our hedging positions. On March 23, 2011, we entered into a fixed price swap for 1,000 barrels of oil per month at a price of $104.55 NYMEX-WTI through February 28, 2013. For the first six months of 2011, the Company expects to record a gain reflecting the difference between the hedged price and the market price.
Employees
As of June 30, 2011, we employed five (5) full-time employees. Our employees are not represented by a labor union. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory and have never experienced a work stoppage or strike.
We retain certain engineers, geologists, landmen, pumpers, and other personnel on a contract or fee basis as necessary for our field and office operations.
Legal Proceedings
On May 4, 2011, Clifton M. (Marty) Bloodworth filed a lawsuit in the State District Court of Midland County, Texas, against Doral West Corp. d/b/a Doral Energy Corp. and Everett Willard Gray II. Mr. Bloodworth alleges that Mr. Gray, as CEO of the Company, made false representations which induced Mr. Bloodworth to enter into an employment contract that was subsequently breached by the Company. The claims that Mr. Bloodworth has alleged are: breach of his employment agreement with Doral, common law fraud, civil conspiracy breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act. Mr. Bloodworth is seeking damages of approximately $280,000. Mr. Gray and the Company deny that Mr. Bloodworth’s claims have any merit, and they plan to file a counterclaim in the proceeding.
Other than the lawsuit described above, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings outside of ordinary routine proceedings incidental to our business and which, in the aggregate, do not involve amounts greater than 10% of our current assets.
PROPERTIES AND OPERATIONS
General Background
We have built our asset base primarily through property acquisitions and divestitures that are geographically focused in the Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, which we have identified as the most attractive region in which to develop our business. Our properties consist of working, mineral and royalty interests owned by us in various oil and gas wells and oil and gas lease acreage located in Chaves, Eddy, Lea and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, and Borden and Dawson Counties, Texas. The holdings acquired in connection with the Pure Merger in January 2011 comprise approximately 99% of our current acreage holdings. Those holdings are described below under the Pure Assets subheading. The description of the Company’s other holdings follows the description of the Pure Assets.
Pure Assets:
In November 1999, Pure L.P. entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Manix Energy, LLC (“Manix”) whereby Pure L.P. and Bellwether Petroleum, Inc. (“Bellwether”) each agreed to purchase from Manix a 50% undivided interest in all of the New Mexico acreage and production formerly belonging to Fina Oil and Gas.
In November 2001, due to losses and the resulting inability to meet creditor obligations, Pure L.P. filed for Chapter 11 reorganization. In December 2002 with new management in place, Pure L.P. reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy after bringing in new investors and paying off the senior secured seller note.
In August 2003, Pure L.P. entered into a joint venture with Edge Petroleum Corporation (“Edge”) and Chisos, Ltd. (“Chisos”) to develop Pure and Chisos acreage in Lea and Eddy Counties. In the Edge joint venture, Pure L.P. committed one half of its interest in properties in all of Eddy, Lea and the lower two sections of Chaves Counties.
In January 2008, by mutual consent, the Edge joint venture was terminated and Edge was assigned half of the interest of Pure L.P. in properties within the joint venture area.
Other Company Assets:
On June 14, 2010, Doral completed the acquisition of 6,800 acres of operated producing oil and gas assets (the “Stearns Properties”) located in Chavez County and Roosevelt County, New Mexico, acquired for $1,700,000 on June 14, 2010.
On July 15, 2010, Doral acquired additional working interest from Nordstrand Engineering located in Chavez County, New Mexico (“Chaves County Properties”), properties consisting of additional working interests in the same areas as the Stearns Properties, for a price of $20,000 on July 15, 2010.
Management continues to evaluate these properties for further drilling and workover opportunities. Capital may be allocated to these properties for further development and exploitation opportunities in conjunction with the Company’s overall capital expenditure program.
Total Acreage
As of June 30, 2011, we hold approximately 800,000 gross leasehold acres and approximately 300,000 net acres. Gross acres are the total number of acres in which we have a working interest. Net acres are the sum of our fractional working interests owned in the gross acres. In certain leases, our ownership varies at different depths; therefore, the net acreage in these leases is calculated with consideration of the varying ownership interests.
Reserves
We have a portfolio of oil and natural gas reserves with approximately 99% of our proved reserves consisting of oil and 1% natural gas. Our proved reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows of our interests in proved oil and gas reserves, as reflected in our August 2010 reserve reports, are set forth below. The data included in the table has not been adjusted for price changes, nor for production, since the date of the reports. Estimated production since that date, and through March 31, 2011, is approximately 24,700 Bbls and 131,300 mcf.

The proved reserves estimates contained in the above tables are a combination of the reserve estimates prepared for Doral and Pure, prior to the reverse merger, as of August 1, 2010. Both reserve reports were prepared by of Joe C. Neal & Associates, independent petroleum consultants to the Company. Joe C. Neal & Associates is an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm that has been providing petroleum consulting services throughout the world for 35 years. Joe C. Neal & Associates has extensive experience calculating reserves for other companies operating in the Permian Basin region and, as such, we believe that they have sufficient experience to estimate our reserves. Joe C. Neal & Associates is a Texas registered professional engineering firm. Our primary contact at Joe C. Neal & Associates is Alan Neal.

The present values of the proved reserves of crude oil identified in the tables are prepared by discounting future projected net cash flows computed with constant oil prices of $70.02 per Bbl and constant future production and development costs less estimated future income tax expense. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted at a rate of 10 percent per year. Similarly, the present values of the proved reserves of natural gas identified in the tables are prepared in the same manner using constant gas prices of $4.11 per mcf.
When estimating our reserves we engage independent registered engineering firms to prepare reserve reports based on records, geological and engineering reports and other data that we provide to them. Included in this information is historical production data from our wells, historical lease operating expenses and differentials, updated working interest and net revenue interest information and geological and geophysical information from operators or generated internally. These engineering firms are permitted to consult freely with our officers and employees. Our Chief Executive Officer and President/Chief Operating Officer review the reports prepared by the independent engineering firm and the assumptions relied upon in such report.
Reserve reports prepared by petroleum engineers and used by the Company are, by their very nature, inexact and subject to changes and revisions. Proved developed reserves are reserves expected to be recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are expected to be recovered from new wells drilled to known reservoirs on undrilled acreage for which existence and recoverability of such reserves can be estimated with reasonable certainty, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required to establish production. No estimates of reserves have been included in any reports to any federal agency other than the SEC.
See Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities included as part of our consolidated financial statements. A copy of the Joe C. Neal & Associates, Inc. report “Estimated Reserves and Future Net Revenue as of August 1, 2010, Attributable to Interests Owned by Doral Energy, Corp. In Certain Properties Located in New Mexcio (SEC Case)” is referenced as Exhibit 99.1, and a copy of the Joe C. Neal & Associates, Inc. report “Evaluation of Oil and Gas Reserves of Pure Energy Group, Inc., Effective Date: August 1, 2010” is attached as Exhibit 99.2.

2009 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective April 29, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants (“Participants”) to acquire and maintain stock ownership in us in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.
The 2009 Plan allows us to grant awards to our officers, directors and employees. In addition, we may grant awards to individuals who act as consultants to us, so long as those consultants do not provide services connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital raising transactions and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our securities.
On adoption, a total of 8,500,000 shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Effective July 28, 2010, we amended and restated our 2009 Plan to increase the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan to 14,500,000 shares. However, under the terms of the 2009 Plan, at any time after August 1, 2010, the authorized number of shares available under the 2009 Plan may be increased by our Board of Directors, provided that the total number of shares issuable under the 2009 Plan cannot exceed 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Awards may be granted in the form of options to purchase shares of our common stock (“Option Awards”) or in the form of shares of our common stock (“Stock Awards”). Option Awards granted under the 2009 Plan may be made in the form of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 2009 Plan are those intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the 2009 Plan must be approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption. The 2009 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders and there is no assurance that the 2009 Plan will be approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the 2009 Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Stock Awards may be made subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the plan administrator may, in its sole discretion, decide, including transfer restrictions and vesting provisions. On May 26, 2009, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-159480) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to register 8,500,000 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2009 Plan.
On August 10, 2010, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-168724) under the Securities Act to register an additional 6,000,000 shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2009 Plan as amended and restated. The total shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan was reduced to 263,636 shares by the 1-for-55 reverse split effective December 27, 2010. The 2009 Plan expressly provides that the number of shares may be increased to the number of shares issued under the 2009 Plan provided that it does not exceed 15% of the outstanding shares. The total number of shares underlying options issued under the Plan is 1,352,500.

Note: Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on July 19, 2011. As of July 19, 2011, there were 16,151,946 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

As a matter of practice, the Board of Directors considers and approves or disapproves all transactions with related parties upon full disclosure of the relationship and potential conflict of interest. The Company has no written policy regarding related party transactions.
An aggregate of 7,209,375 shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of previously issued warrants may be offered for sale and sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholders. We are paying all of the expenses in connection with such registration and the sale of the shares, other than selling commissions and the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors to the selling stockholders. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth if and when required in prospectus supplements or other appropriate forms permitted to be used by the SEC. All of the information contained in the table below is based solely upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders or otherwise known by us.

To our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders is a broker-dealer or affiliated with a broker-dealer (other than as a minority passive investor of an entity affiliated with a broker-dealer). Unless otherwise indicated, the selling stockholders have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to their shares of common stock. In addition to the shares offered hereby, which represent such shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of previously issued warrants by the respective selling stockholders, the selling stockholders may otherwise beneficially own our shares of common stock as a result of, among others, open market purchases, which information is not obtainable by us without undue effort and expense. The selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the date on which the information regarding the shares beneficially owned was last known by us, all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. All of the shares of common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of previously issued warrants were issued in connection with our private offering that closed on May 26, 2011 unless otherwise noted.
The following table sets forth, for each of the selling stockholders to the extent known by us, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned, the number of shares of our common stock offered hereby and the number of shares and percentage of outstanding common stock to be owned after completion of this offering, assuming all shares offered hereby are sold.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of our capital stock is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Certificate of Merger and Articles of Merger filed with the Nevada Secretary of State’s office on December 28, 2010, all of which are included or referenced as Exhibits to this registration statement.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 36,363,637 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors.
Holders of our common stock do not have any conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors and the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock then outstanding.
In connection with the private offering closed on May 26, 2011, the purchasers thereof were granted a pro rata right of first refusal to participate in any transaction of which the principal purpose is to raise equity capital. This right of first refusal terminates on the earlier to occur of the following: (i) a sale, merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company; or (ii) May 26, 2012.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available.
Warrants
Private Offering
Three million six hundred thousand (3,600,000) shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus are underlying warrants issued in connection with the private offering closed on May 26, 2011. The private offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In the offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,600,000 units. Each unit was sold at $1.50 and was comprised of one share of common stock and one five-year warrant to purchase a share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. The offering was made to a select group of institutional and accredited investors.
The warrants provide for cashless exercise if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of, the common stock underlying the warrants and all such common stock is not then registered for resale by the Selling Stockholder into the market at market prices from time to time on an effective registration statement for use on a continuous basis
The warrants are not exercisable by the Selling Stockholders to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Selling Stockholder with any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.98% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The number, class, and price of the common stock underlying the warrants are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events including a forward stock split, stock dividend, merger, consolidation, reclassification or reorganization.
Debenture Conversion
Effective January 5, 2011, we agreed to convert Debentures in the principal amount of $25,000 into shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. As a result, we issued an aggregate of 6,250 shares of common stock and 3,125 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at a price of $5.00 per share for a period of two and one-half (2½) years.
We have the right to redeem the warrants at a price of $0.001 per warrant if, at any time, the closing price of our common stock on the principal market or exchange on which that stock trades equals or exceeds $7.50 per share for 10 consecutive trading days and there is an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of the resale of the common stock underlying the warrants. To exercise this right, we must provide the warrant holder with at least 20 days prior written notice of our intention to exercise the redemption right. The shares and warrants were issued in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act. We received representations from the Pure Debenture holder that it is an “accredited investor” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act.
Listing
Our shares of common stock are listed on the OTCQX under the symbol of “XBOR”.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is OTR, 1001 SW 5th Ave, Ste. 1550, Portland, Oregon 97204.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
any other method permitted by applicable law.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Each selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
The validity of the common stock offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Williams & Anderson PLC.
As of July 19, 2011, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings other than as provided above with regard to the Bloodworth lawsuit.
The financial statements of Pure Energy Group as of December 31, 2010 have been audited by Darilek, Butler & Associates PLLC, the report of which is included herein, and such consolidated financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECUITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The above changes in current assets and current liabilities differ from changes between amounts reflected in the March 31, 2011 balance sheet due to current assets and current liabilities acquired in connection with the Company’s reverse acquisition with Pure Energy Group, Inc. and Pure Gas Partners II, LP, as more fully described in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Cross Border Resources, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Nature of Operations
The Company is an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation, and acquisition of natural gas and oil reserves in North America. The Company’s primary area of focus is the State of New Mexico, particularly southeastern New Mexico.
Reverse Acquisition
Effective December 27, 2010, the Company completed a 1-for-55 reverse split of its common stock in accordance with Article 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split resulted in a decrease in the Company’s authorized share capital from 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 36,363,637 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, with a corresponding decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 135,933,086 shares to 2,471,544 shares (after accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number). Completion of the Reverse Split was a condition precedent for the merger with Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”).
Effective January 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Pure Energy Group, Inc. (“Pure Sub”) as contemplated pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 2, 2010 (the “Pure Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Doral Acquisition Corp., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Doral Sub”), Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (“Pure”) and Pure Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure (Pure Sub and Pure being collectively referred to herein as the “Pure Energy Group”).
Pursuant to the provisions of the Pure Merger Agreement, all of Pure’s oil and gas assets and liabilities were transferred to Pure Sub. Pure Sub was then merged with and into Doral Sub, with Doral Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Pure Merger”). Upon completion of the Pure Merger (“Merger”), the outstanding shares of Pure Sub were converted into an aggregate of 9,981,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Pure Merger, the previous Pure shareholders own approximately 80% of the Company’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, with the Company’s previous stockholders owning the remaining 20%.
The purchase price of the assets of the Company arising from the reverse acquisition with the Pure Energy Group was $8,085,984, representing eighty percent (80%) of the appraised value of 2,471,511 post-split shares of the Company which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the reverse acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price and the purchase price accounting is based upon preliminary estimates of the assets and liabilities effectively acquired on January 3, 2011 in accordance with ASC topic 805, Business Combinations .
The allocation of the purchase price is estimated as follows:

Basis for Presentation
The unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and the unaudited condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include the accounts of the predecessor company Pure for the period of January 1, 2011 to January 3, 2011 and the accounts of Pure and the Company for the period January 4, 2011 (date of reverse acquisition as discussed below) to March 31, 2011 (collectively, “Cross Border Resources, Inc.” or the “Company”). The comparative consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 represent the accounts of Pure only. The consolidation effected by the business combination has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition wherein Pure is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Interim financial statements
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Pure audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010 as filed on Form 8-K/A on April 7, 2011. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in Pure Gas Partners LP’s audited financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2010 has been omitted. The results of operations for the three months period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2011.
Prior Period Correction of an Error
In the Company’s 2010 financial statements, the Company recorded goodwill in connection with the 2005 acquisition of Pure Energy Group, Inc. During 2011, the Company re-evaluated its obligations with respect to its initial accounting for the transaction and determined that consideration paid in excess of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities transferred should have been allocated to the acquired oil and gas properties and subsequently tested for impairment. As a result, the Company retroactively stated its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2010 to reflect the allocation of goodwill. In addition, the Company did not consider the need to impair the value of its acquired oil and gas properties based on the future cash flows of the assets. The correction of this error reduced March 31, 2010 net income by approximately $80,165 and $320,660 was adjusted to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2010. The tax effect of this transaction was determined to be immaterial to the overall financial statements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost, and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - Production
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for oil and gas sales and are considered fully collectible by the Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company determines when receivables are past due based on how recently payments have been received.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in producing wells when oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells.
Property and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. These methods do not materially differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation expense was $9,479 and $7,465 for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations under the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations , which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). Under this method, when legal obligations for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are incurred, a liability is recorded at fair value and the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased. Accretion of liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Asset retirement obligations as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1,165,503 and $508,588, respectively.
The following is a description of the changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Income Taxes
The Company is a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes for which an income tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Differences between the enacted tax rates and the effective tax rates are primarily the result of timing differences in the recognition of depletion and accretion expenses. These differences do not create a material variance between the enacted tax rate and the effective tax rate.
Use of Estimates
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, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion of proved oil and natural gas properties and costs to abandon oil and gas properties.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, and (2) forecast forward price curves for natural gas and crude oil. The oil and gas industry in the United States has historically experienced substantial commodity price volatility, and such volatility is expected to continue in the future. Commodity prices affect the level of reserves that are considered commercially recoverable; significantly influence the Company’s current and future expected cash flows; and impact the PV10 derivation of proved reserves.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments . The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the balance sheets, except for long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximates fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's current borrowing rates for similar types of debt.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 3– RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company paid $58,000 and $39,000 in consulting fees in March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively to BDR Consulting, Inc. (BDR), a member of CCJ/BDR Investments, L.L.C., who owned a combined 64.108% limited partnership interest in the Pure Gas Partners, L.P. The president of BDR also served on the Board of Directors and was the Chief Executive Officer of Pure Energy Group, Inc. In addition, the Company rented office space from BDR on a month-to-month basis. The Company paid BDR $6,000 in rental fees in March 31, 2010.
The Company has a development contract with Aztec Energy Partners I, L.P. (Aztec), whereby Aztec agreed to fund 100% of costs through completion on certain wells to be drilled in two counties in New Mexico. Certain partners in Aztec are also indirect limited partners and members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. On certain wells, the Company owns a working interest. On those wells, Aztec will receive working interest and net revenue interest. During the period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid Aztec $37,179 and $250,875, for Aztec’s share of well income, net of related well costs, based on production.
Aztec Managing GP, LLC (Aztec MP) is the managing general partner of Aztec Energy Partners I, L.P. The principals of Aztec MP also serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. During the period ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid Aztec MP $27,859 and $94,805, respectively, for Aztec MP’s share of well income, net of related well costs, based on production.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Cross Border Resources, Inc. commodity derivatives are measured at fair value in the financial statements. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using input from three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
|
Level 1 –
|
Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Cross Border Resources, Inc. has the ability to access at the measurement date.
|
|
Level 2 –
|
Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
|
|
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs reflect Cross Border Resources, Inc’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset of liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, using internal and external data.
|
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Partners
Pure Gas Partners, L.P. and Subsidiaries
San Antonio, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pure Gas Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 Pure Gas Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 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.

PURE GAS PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note A – Partnership Organization and Nature of Operations
Partnership Organization
Pure Gas Partners, L.P., (the Partnership) is a Texas limited partnership that was formed in 2002 to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pure Energy Group, Inc., a Texas corporation, and to continue to acquire, develop, manage, lease and operate oil and gas properties. The Partnership owns a 99.99% limited partner interest in Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. (PGP II), a Texas limited partnership formed in 2004, with .01% general partner interest owned by Pure Energy Group, Inc. During 2010, the noncontrolling interest partners exercised their option to convert all minority interest shares into Class A and Class C shares. As of December 31, 2010, the Partnership had no noncontrolling interest partners.
Nature of Operations
The Partnership is an independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation, and acquisition of natural gas and oil reserves in North America. The Partnership’s primary area of focus is the State of New Mexico, particularly southeastern New Mexico.
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain prior period amounts have been restated to conform to current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, Pure Energy Group, Inc., and Pure Gas Partners II, L.P. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Partnership uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
PURE GAS PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost, and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable - Production
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for oil and gas sales and are considered fully collectible by the Partnership as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Partnership determines when receivables are past due based on how recently payments have been received.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership recognizes oil and natural gas revenue from its interests in producing wells as oil and natural gas is produced and sold from those wells.
Property and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of office furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method and the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years. These methods do not materially differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation expense was $29,859 and $38,271 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Partnership accounts for asset retirement obligations under the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which provides for an asset and liability approach to accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO). Under this method, when legal obligations for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are incurred, a liability is recorded at fair value and the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased. Accretion of liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $508,588 and $449,319, respectively.
The following is a description of the changes to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Income Taxes
The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Accordingly, no income tax provision has been included in the financial statements related to the income of the partnership.
The Partnership’s subsidiary, Pure Energy Group, Inc., is a taxable corporation for which an income tax provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities (See Note K).
Use of Estimates
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, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates include volumes of oil and gas reserves used in calculating depletion of proved oil and natural gas properties and costs to abandon oil and gas properties.
PURE GAS PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Financial Instruments
The Partnership’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of these financial instruments as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, except for long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximates fair value. The Partnership estimates the fair value of its long-term, fixed-rate debt generally using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Partnership's current borrowing rates for similar types of debt.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending the criteria for performing the second step of the goodwill impairment test for companies with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The amended guidance requires performance of the second step if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.
There were various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Correction of Prior Period Errors
In the Partnership’s 2009 financial statements, no amounts were recorded related to the asset retirement obligations associated with the dismantling and abandonment costs of wells. During 2010, the Partnership re-evaluated its obligations with respect to such costs and determined that a liability should be recorded for this amount. The correction of this error reduced 2009 net income by $78,772 and $214,527 was adjusted to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2009.
Asset retirement obligations were properly recorded for the fiscal year 2010 and as such there is no material impact to the year ended December 31, 2010.
Note C – Related Party Transactions
The Partnership paid $174,500 and $171,400 in consulting fees in 2010 and 2009, respectively, to BDR Consulting, Inc. (BDR), a member of CCJ/BDR Investments, L.L.C., who owns a combined 64.108% limited partner interest in the Partnership. The president of BDR serves on the Board of Directors and is the Chief Executive Officer of Pure Energy Group, Inc. In addition, the Partnership rents office space from BDR on a month-to-month basis. The Partnership paid BDR $18,000 and $24,000 in rental fees in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
PURE GAS PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note C – Related Party Transactions (Continued)
The Partnership has a development contract with Aztec Energy Partners I, L.P. (Aztec), whereby Aztec agreed to fund 100% of costs through completion on certain wells to be drilled in two counties in New Mexico. On certain wells, the Partnership owns a working interest. On those wells, Aztec will receive working interest and net revenue interest. Certain partners in Aztec are also indirect limited partners and members of the Board of Directors of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership paid Aztec $356,145 and $287,318, respectively, for Aztec’s share of well income, net of related well costs, based on production. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership had a net payable to Aztec of $26,160 and $64,815, respectively.
Aztec Managing GP, LLC (Aztec MP) is the managing general partner of Aztec Energy Partners I, L.P. The principals of Aztec MP also serve on the Board of Directors of the Partnership. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership paid Aztec MP $154,314 and $95,027, respectively, for Aztec MP’s share of well income, net of related well costs, based on production. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership had a net payable to Aztec MP of $23,721 and $36,786, respectively.
On September 28, 2010, the Partnership entered into a loan and security agreement with Doral Energy Corporation (“Doral Energy”) pursuant to which the Partnership loaned Doral Energy $250,000 with interest payable thereon at a rate of 5% per annum. Doral Energy agreed to make monthly installments of accrued interest beginning on November 1, 2010 and on the first day of each successive month thereafter, with a final payment of all remaining amounts payable under the Loan Agreement on account of principal and interest due on March 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, $250,000 was recorded as a related party receivable on the balance sheet and the Partnership recognized approximately $2,600 in interest income related to this loan.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the borrowing base on the line of credit was $2,350,000 and $2,500,000, respectively. The interest rate is calculated at the greater of the Wall Street Prime Rate or 4%. The line of credit is collateralized by producing wells. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $1,582,426.
7½% Debentures, Series 2005
On March 1, 2005, Pure Energy Group, Inc. and its subsidiary Pure Gas Partners, II, L.P., issued 7 ½ % Debentures, Series 2005, in the principal amount of $5,500,000. The Debentures mature on March 1, 2015, with principal and interest payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1.
The Debentures were used to (i) finance the final payments pursuant to a Second Plan of Reorganization approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court in 2002; (ii) to pay off the outstanding balance of an operating line of credit; (iii) to provide working capital; and (iv) to fund capitalized interest on the Debentures through September 1, 2005. The Debentures are secured by all revenues of the issuer and all money held in the funds and accounts created under the Indenture (except the Costs of Issuance Account).

Note E – Creditors Payable
In 2002, the prior owner of Pure Energy Group, Inc. filed a petition for reorganization with the United States Bankruptcy Court. According to the Plan of Reorganization, three other creditors are to receive a combined amount of approximately $3,000,000 for their claims out of future net revenues of Pure Energy Group, Inc. (defined as revenues from producing wells net of lease operating expenses and other direct costs). During 2003, two of these creditors reduced the amount of debt owed to them by $150,000 each since Pure Energy Group, Inc., at the creditors’ requests, paid a third party in the amount of $300,000 on their behalf.
The net revenue distribution due to creditors in 2011 based on 2010 net revenues is $150,000 as of December 31, 2010 and is presented as a current liability. The net revenue to creditors in 2010 based on 2009 net revenues was $162,500 as of December 31, 2009 and was presented as a current liability. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the creditors’ payable balance was $1,806,305 and $1,929,200, respectively.

Rent expense related to leases for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $47,781 and $40,426, respectively.
Note G – Major Customers
Sales to five customers comprised 85% and 82% of the Partnership’s total oil and gas revenues for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In the exploration, development, and production business, production is normally sold to relatively few customers. Substantially all of the Partnership’s customers are concentrated in the oil and gas industry and revenue can be materially affected by current economic conditions and the price of certain commodities such as natural gas and crude oil, the cost of which is passed through to the customer. However, based on current demand for natural gas and crude oil and the fact that alternate purchasers are readily available, management believes that the loss of any major purchasers would not have a long-term material adverse effect on operations.
Note H – Commitments and Contingencies
The Partnership is subject to federal and state laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Environmental risk is inherent to oil and natural gas operations and the Partnership could be subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions. The Partnership manages this environmental risk through appropriate environmental policies and practices to minimize the impact to the Partnership.
From time to time, the Partnership is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Partnership is not currently a party to any proceeding that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
Note I – Goodwill
Goodwill is assigned to the Partnership as a result of the acquisition in 2002 of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pure Energy Group, Inc. This asset is reviewed annually for possible impairment resulting from the occurrence of events or circumstances that indicate the Partnership’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value. Management has determined that no additional impairment has occurred during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Accordingly, no adjustment for impairment has been recorded.
Note J – Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to the concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash balances exceeded FDIC insurance protection levels by approximately $361,750 at December 31, 2010, and at certain points throughout the year, subjecting the Partnership to risk related to the uninsured balance. The Partnership’s deposits are held at large established bank institutions and it believes that the risk of loss associated with these uninsured balances is remote.
The Partnership also maintains cash balances with two investment brokerage firms that are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000. In addition to the SIPC coverage, one of the investment brokerage firms provides supplemental coverage in excess of SIPC through an insurance policy that covers cash balances up to $500,000. The cash balance at the other investment brokerage firm is held in a FDIC-Insured Deposit Account and is also protected by a supplemental coverage insurance policy that covers cash balances up to $124,500,000. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Partnership’s cash balance with these investment brokerage firms did not exceed the combined coverage.

Deferred tax assets decreased by $53,985 to $23,863 at December 31, 2010 due to the current year generation of loss carryforwards that can be used to offset future taxable income. At December 31, 2009, deferred tax assets increased by $25,138 to $77,848 due to the utilization of loss carryforwards to offset the 2009 taxable income. However, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the deferred tax assets have been fully allowed for due to the continued uncertainty of whether the tax benefits will ever be realized. The deferred tax assets balance at December 31, 2009 was adjusted to actual per the 2009 income tax return. As the deferred tax assets are fully allowed for due to the reason mentioned above, this adjustment had no effect on prior year net income.
As of December 31, 2010, Pure Energy Group, Inc. had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards totaling $518,987 that may be used to offset future taxable income. These NOL carryforwards expire as follows:

Note M – Series B Convertible Preferred Partnership Interest
In October 2006, PGP II, a subsidiary of the Partnership, issued Series B Convertible Preferred Partnership Interests (the Interests) to Armendaris Holdings, LLC (Armendaris) for a 3.617% ownership interest in PGP II.
The Interests have a preferential right for return of the invested principal from cash flow of PGP II and also a preferential right in the case of liquidation or dissolution of PGP II. The Interests do not have any dividend preference or any preferential stated return, interest rate, or dividend that accrues or is payable with respect to the units purchased. The Interests are callable, at the option of PGP II, at anytime between 90 days following drilling completion of a core test well on the Armendaris Ranch and September 30, 2010, at 100% of the face value of the funding.
In October 2010, Armendaris exercised its option to convert the Interests into Series A Limited Partnership Interest of PGP II at a valuation of $30,000,000. As a result of the exercise, all existing noncontrolling interests held by Armendaris were converted to Class C Shares. In addition, all other noncontrolling interest partners exercised their option to convert their interests to Class A Shares. As a result, the partnership no longer had minority interest holders as of December 31, 2010.
Note N – Subsequent Events
The Partnership has evaluated subsequent events through April 7, 2011, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. Effective January 3, 2011, the Partnership entered into a merger agreement with Doral Energy. Pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, all of the Partnership’s oil and gas assets were transferred to Pure Energy Group, Inc. Pure Energy Group, Inc. was then merged with and into Doral Acquisition Corp. (“Doral”) with Doral continuing as the surviving corporation. Upon completion of the Merger, the outstanding shares of Pure Energy Group, Inc. were converted into an aggregate of 9,981,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, Pure Energy Group, Inc. owns approximately 80% of Doral’s total outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, with Doral’s previous stockholders owning the remaining 20%.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation.

1.
|
a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
|
2.
|
a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
|
3.
|
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
|
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:

|
such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

2.
|
the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
|
3.
|
such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or;

4.
|

|
Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.
