Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

July 31, 2008

General Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Sonoran Energy, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 2008 and the related results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007 have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been included. Operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. You should read the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2008 included in the Company's report in Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in conjunction with these statements.

Note 1: Liquidity

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to develop and operate its existing oil and gas properties, and to acquire additional properties. As of July 31, 2008, the Company has a working capital deficit of approximately $19.4 million, accumulated shareholders’ deficit of $56.6 million, has incurred continued operating losses, and requires additional capital to fund development activities, meet its obligations and maintain its operations. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty around continuance of operations.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $286,339 at July 31, 2008 for a decrease of $326,659 when compared to April 30, 2008. The components of the changes in cash for the three months ended July 31, 2008 are more fully described in the Statements of Cash Flows included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company obtained additional funding from Standard Bank under a new $15,000,000 credit facility (the Facility), which closed on November 29, 2007. The Company borrowed a total of $12,000,000 under this facility which was used to repay the NGPC facility, repurchase an override from NGPC, and to partially fund its Louisiana work over program. The remaining $3 million dollars is not currently available, as the Company is in default of several covenants of the Facility. The Company is currently negotiating a restructuring of the Facility. Accordingly, the full amount outstanding under the Facility is reported as a current liability. If an agreement is not reached, the company could be forced to seek protection from creditors. The Company expects to reach an agreement that will reduce cash requirements to an acceptable level.

Current production levels are sufficient to cover operating expenses and provide sufficient funding for interest payments. However, the Company needs to obtain additional debt or equity to fund debt service requirements and continue to develop its assets. Over the past six months the Company has obtained approximately $4.5 million from two large shareholders to support its operations. While the two large shareholders have provided funds for development over the past year, there is no assurance that they will continue to support the Company’s activities. However, the company believes that it will be able to obtain additional funding as needed to continue to meet the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2009.

The Company is not a party to off-balance sheet arrangements and does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In addition, the Company has no financial guarantees, debt or lease agreements or other arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could change the value of the

Company's assets. Management continues to examine various alternatives for increasing capital resources including, among other things, participation with industry and/or private partners and specific rework of existing properties to enhance production and expansion of its sales of crude oil and natural gas.

Note 2: Note Payable - Legal Settlement

The legal settlement relates to the following two cases that were settled in June and September 2006.

Longbow, LLC v. Sonoran Energy, Inc. - Superior Court of California, County of Kern, Metropolitan Division Case No. S-1500-CV-25398-SPC

In March, 2004, a complaint was filed by Longbow, LLC against the Company alleging that Sonoran failed to provide timely notice related to an option for right of first refusal on the sale of our interest in the Emjayco Glide #33 Property, the Keystone-Deer Creek Property and the Deer Creek-Merzonian Property. Subsequently, Sonoran had entered into an agreement to sell those properties to a third party, Harvest Worldwide, LLC.

During September, 2006, an out of court settlement was reached to allow Longbow to purchase the properties in question subject to Sonoran arranging for the removal of liens held by Ironwood and assuming partial responsibility for the retirement of certain obligations. We agreed to pay down a note on the three properties with shares of our stock that were held in trust after being recovered from Mark Anderson. In addition, we agreed to issue shares of our common stock, pay cash, and issue convertible notes to settle the balance of the assumed liabilities. Based on the settlement of this matter, we believed that we had fully completed the sale of these properties and a gain of $484,046 was included as a reduction to litigation settlement expense on our statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 2007. The liens were removed during the quarter ended July 31, 2007.

Sonoran Energy, Inc v. Mark Roy Anderson et al

Mark Anderson was sued, individually and in the form of his corporate alter egos, by Sonoran seeking rescission of all shares issued to these entities, with additional compensation due for various timing failures and legal exposures resulting from Anderson's various shortcomings. The final settlement was dependant upon the resolution of the Longbow case (above) and included the assumption of certain obligations and payment of certain outstanding legal fees. These payments were partially offset by the cancellation of a commission payable of $250,000 and a loan payable of $48,476.

Through April 30, 2008, we paid settlement expenses in the form of cash, issuance of shares, and issuance of convertible debentures. Additionally, a portion of Anderson’s shares were used to satisfy certain outstanding legal fees. We computed the value of our obligations under the note payable and other liabilities by subtracting our estimate of the value of the shares surrendered by Anderson. At April 30 2008, approximately 2,023,000 of Anderson’s shares were held in trust by attorneys or by the holder of the note payable to settle our liabilities. We computed the value of these shares using the closing price of our common stock on April 30, 2008 less an estimate of costs to sell those shares. The net amount of our obligations less the value of shares of our common stock pledged to settle those obligations was recorded on our consolidated balance sheet under current liabilities in the amount of $464,641.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we issued 300,000 shares of common stock in payment of the note. Due to the low market price no shares were sold to reduce the debt but are being held by the note holder. At July 31, 2008, approximately 2,324,000 shares were still being held in trust by attorneys or by the holder of the note payable. We computed the value of these shares using the closing price of our common stock on July 31, 2008 less an estimate of costs to sell those shares.

The net change in our obligations less the value of shares of common stock previously pledged to settle those obligations was recorded as a reduction in current liabilities and is shown in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a charge of $1,165 in “Legal settlement expense”. The remaining liability which is shown in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Note payable re legal settlement” has been reduced to $446,306 to reflect additional shares being held at July 31, 2008.

Note 3: Credit Agreement

Standard Bank PLC and Nordkap

On November 29, 2007, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Standard Bank PLC and Nordkap (Standard Agreement), granting the Company a credit facility of up to $15 million, over a three-year period, with an initial availability of $12 million. The lenders received 6,119,750 warrants priced at 3 tiers above market price on the date of closing, with maturities ranging from 4 to 6 years. As lead bank, Standard Bank PLC also has an overriding royalty of 2% in all of our oil and gas properties. Payments for the overriding royalty are deferred until the earlier of November 29, 2010 or the date on which the loan is repaid. The value of the override as of the closing date was $868,902 and was recorded as a reduction to the full cost pool and as an increase in deferred loan fees.

The Standard Agreement is secured by first liens on substantially all of our properties and requires quarterly interest payments, at LIBOR plus 5.50 % plus and additional 2.0% incremental default rate since the company is not currently in compliance as discussed below (10.39 % as at July 31, 2008). The Company recorded interest charges related to the Standard Agreement of $ 277,581 for the three months ending July 31, 2008.

The Standard Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and other negative covenants, the most restrictive of which are:

a current ratio of at least 1.10 : 1.00;

a debt coverage ratio of no more than 2.00:1.00;

an interest coverage ratio of at least 3.00:1.00;

and a present value ratio 1.25:1.00.

The Company is not currently in compliance and must make significant improvements to achieve compliance. Any default on the restrictive covenants could result in the termination of future loans and the acceleration of the debt outstanding. The Company is currently negotiating a restructuring of the Facility. Accordingly, the full amount outstanding under the Facility is reported as a current liability. If an agreement is not reached, the company could be forced to seek protection from creditors. The Company expects to reach an agreement that will reduce cash requirements to an acceptable level.

In addition, there are minimal quarterly production volumes that take effect beginning October 31, 2008. The Company is not currently in compliance and must make significant improvements to achieve compliance. The minimum quarterly production requirements are expected to be adjusted to conform with current production estimates as part of the Facility restructuring the Company is currently negotiating.

The Company incurred debt issuance costs in connection with the Standard Agreement of $1,182,093 which are included in loan fees as of July 31. A total of 6,119,750 warrants were granted to the lenders in the Standard Agreement. These warrants were valued using the Black Scholes method and resulted in a valuation of $643,076. The debt issuance cost, warrants and the Standard Bank PLC overriding royalty interest total $2,554,556 and are being amortized over 36 months, the term of the facility. Amortization of $172,992 is included in interest expense related to the Standard Agreement for the three months ended July 31, 2008.

Note 4: Gain on asset sale

On July 16, 2007, the Company entered into a series of agreements forming a joint venture with an industry partner to facilitate exploitation of its interest in the Azraq Production Sharing Arrangement (PSA) with the Kingdom of Jordan. Under the terms of the agreements, the company expects to realize gross proceeds of $1,000,000 in return for the industry partner's entry into the project, and assumption of most of the financial obligation and operating

risks associated with the PSA. As of September 10, 2007, the Company had only received $782,691 of the proceeds. Of this amount, $550,000 was used to pay expenses directly related to the transaction. The remaining $232,691 was used to settle other liabilities in Jordan.

Because the net proceeds received of $232,691 exceeded the $58,774 recorded in our full cost pool for Jordan, we zeroed out the full cost pool and the remaining value received of $173,917 was recognized as a gain. The Company received additional funds in the amount of $217,309 which were being held by an escrow agent in Jordan.

Note 5: Transactions with Related Parties

During the three months ended July 31, 2008 a major shareholder of the Company made a private placement of $500,000 to purchase 500,000 preferred shares at $1.00 per share.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008 two major shareholders of the Company each loaned the Company $500,000 by way of 10% Convertible notes due June 30, 2011.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008 the Company issued 356,895 shares to officers and employees as part of the stock purchase plan.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008 the Company issued 1,382,882 shares to directors in payment of fees as part of the stock purchase plan.

During the three months ended July 31, 2008 the Company issued 122,666 shares to officers and employees as part of a stock grant.

(2) Based on the quotes for U.S. Treasury issues with three year maturities.

(3) We have not historically, nor do we anticipate, paying dividends.

(4) Based on historic trading prices, measured daily for a period three years prior to issuing the warrants.

In accordance with EITF 00-27, we first allocated proceeds from the issuance of notes between the notes and the detachable warrants. This resulted in an effective conversion ratio that was less than the market price of our stock on certain issuances. We recorded a debt discount equal to the difference between the effective conversion ratio and the market price of our stock on the date of issuance of the notes for which such conversion was beneficial to the holder.

The following summarizes the premium and discount on convertible notes issued during the year ended July 31, 2008:

Discount at April 30, 2008

The 10% Convertible Notes due July 25, 2008 were exchanged for $350,000 of the 10% notes issued August 29, 2006 through December 31, 2006 plus accrued interest and the Company granted a 10% premium on the face value of the old note.

Note 7: Asset Retirement Obligation

Note 8: Shareholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 25 million shares of no par value Series A preferred stock which may be issued with such preferences, stated values, rights, qualifications or limitations as determined by the Board of Directors.

Each share and warrant of the Series A Preferred

is convertible into 1 share of common stock upon the approval of the shareholders to increase the available common stock outstanding by 500,000,000 shares.

We have assigned a value to the warrants based on an allocation method that reflects the relative value of the preferred shares and warrants resulting in the stock being valued at $208,402 and additional paid in capital being credited with the balance of $291,598.

Common Stock Options

The following table summarizes stock option activity related to our employees during the three months ended July 31, 2008:

		Weighted average	Weighted average	Aggregate
	Stock	exercise price	remaining terms	intrinsic
	Options	per share	(in years)	value
Options outstanding at April 30, 2008	8,099,997	$ 0.33	2.70	$ -
Granted	-	$ -	-	$ -

Options exercisable at July 31, 2008	8,099,997	$ 0.33

As required by SFAS 123(R), the granting of options are share based payment transactions and are to be treated as compensation expense by us with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital.

The option grant to officers and employees in the year ended April 30, 2008 was valued using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model for a total cost of $512,400 which has been charged against expense in the year ended April 30, 2008.

The Company will issue new shares to anyone exercising options.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the options included in the above table:

	July31, 2008	April 30, 2008
Expected life	-	3 to 5 years
Risk-free rate of return	-	3.91% - 4.76%	%
Volatility	-	111.04-133.91
Dividend yield	-	0%
Weighted average fair value per share	-	.28

The Black-Scholes options valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility

Note 10: Employee Benefit Plans

Stock Purchase Plan

During the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008 the Company established a stock purchase plan that is available to all full-time employees, directors and long term contractors. Twice a year on January 31^st and July 31^st the employee, director, or contractor may make an irrevocable election to purchase up to $25,000 worth of the Company’s stock either through payroll deduction or cash payment, or a combination of both. The stock purchased under this plan is restricted from market trading for 6 months after issuance. The actual number of shares is determined based on the

average price in the month following the election to participate and the Company matches the amount of shares purchased. The Company issued 2,170,810 share of restricted common stock in July 2008 under this plan.

Note 11: Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed in the same manner, but also considers the effect of the common stock shares underlying the following:

	July 31, 2008	July 31, 2007
Stock options	8,099,997	2,249,477
Warrants	48,652,712	49,076,188
Restricted shares	1,025,418	2,150,000
Convertible debt	17,559,296	4,792,313
Preferred stock and warrants	260,000,000	-

The shares of the common stock underlying the stock options, warrants, restricted shares, convertible debt and preferred stock and warrants, shown in the preceding table, are not included in weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 as their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Note 12: Contingencies

Wells Land and Cattle Co., Inc., et.al. v. Sonoran Energy, Inc.

On or about May 18, 2007 Wells Land and Cattle Co., Inc., et.al. filed a lawsuit alleging that Sonoran was illegally disposing of saltwater into a saltwater disposal well on their property, that Sonoran routinely trespasses on its land to reach another well which is not located on plaintiff’s land, that Sonoran spilled saltwater onto Plaintiff’s land, and that an oil well lease covering one well has expired due to lack of production. Plaintiff claims that damages exceed $2,000,000 and asks the court for a permanent injunction against Sonoran from trespassing on Plaintiff’s property for the purpose of reaching the disposal well that is not on its property. Sonoran intends to vigorously defend its actions in this matter and anticipates that the matter will be eventually settled for an immaterial amount.

For the first quarter of Fiscal year 2009, ending on July 31, 2008, revenue has increased by 77% when compared to the quarter ending April 30, 2008 due to both increased production and prices. The table below illustrates volume and price comparisons by operational area:

Louisiana Properties

The Company operates twelve active wells in Beauregard, Livingston, Rapides, and Vernon Parishes, Louisiana. During the quarter, the company conducted tests and reviewed various approaches to initiate production from its high potential Louisiana wells. Near the end of the quarter the Company started a wire line operation designed to mill out an obstruction and allow larger diameter tools to be used to clear an obstruction in one of its production wells. Although this effort was not successful it allowed the Company to develop information on design

alternatives that should improve the next phase of operations. A coiled tubing intervention has been designed for the Crosby 25 well, and execution is planned to commence during September. Production - on an equivalent-barrel basis - declined by 8.8% during this reporting period when compared to the previous quarter.

East Texas Properties

The company operates twelve active wells in Smith and Wood Counties, Texas. Smith County wells operated without incident during the quarter. Wood county work concentrated on increasing the water injection capacity through the successful clean-out and repair of a crucial salt water disposal well. Electrical storms in the area damaged some surface power components related to down-hole pump operation, and these items were repaired or replaced to return the wells to operation. With the producing wells in Wood County carrying high producing fluid wells, an up-sizing of the down-hole pump in one of the producers was planned. Dependent on results of this trial, up-sizing of the other down-hole pumps may be undertaken in the future. Compared to the previous quarter, oil production was increased by 37% during this reporting period.

Central Texas Properties

The Company is continuing with re-development for the KWB Field. The program involves the re-entry, re-activation, and re-completion of wells in the Company's KWB field in Tom Green County in Central Texas. Re-completions have focused primarily on the Canyon and Cisco sands, plus three additional horizons. Following recent well work, the field production rate was raised to over 600 thousand cubic feet of LNG-rich gas and 9-13 barrels of associated condensate per day. Compared to the previous quarter, gas production was increased by 165% during this reporting period. Further recompletions, the installation of de-liquification pumps in four gas producers, and a number of well treatments are planned to improve productivity in the next quarter.

Azraq Production Sharing Agreement (PSA)

The Azraq block sits on the same trend as several other productive basins in the Middle East, yet remains relatively under-explored with limited use of modern seismic, drilling and production technology. The PSA covers an area of approximately 11,250 square kilometers offering a number of exploration plays. A production sharing Agreement has been signed by the King and ratified by the National Assembly of Jordan. The Company has formed a joint venture with an industry partner to carry out its obligations under the PSA. The industry partner is responsible for day-to-day management of the operating company and has assumed most of the risk related to the development obligations. The joint venture is currently in the process of developing plans to carry out the PSA’s obligations.

Plant products – Price per Bbl	67.11	44.90


LOE/BOE	$26.86	$ 29.46
Oil and gas production costs ($M)	264	364

REVENUES

Revenue increased to $923,745 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 from the $691,787 for the three months ended July 31, 2007 due primarily to increased commodity prices for oil, gas and plant products, offset by small declines in volumes.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION COSTS

Production costs decreased to $264,193 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 as compared to $364,026 for the three months ended July 31, 2007. The decrease in cost is primarily due to lower repair and maintenance costs, insurance, and property taxes.

PROVISION FOR DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

The provision for depletion, depreciation and amortization was $346,910 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 compared to $227,435 for July 31, 2007. The increase in cost reflects the additions to properties done during the last fiscal year and increased production.

LEGAL SETTLEMENT EXPENSE

The net change, for the three months ended July 31, 2008 in our obligations less the value of shares of common stock previously pledged to settle those obligations was recorded as a reduction in current liabilities and is shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as an expense of $1,165 in “Legal settlement expense” and a balance of $446,306 in Notes payable regarding legal settlement on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses decreased $264,216 for the three months ended July 31, 2008, when compared to the same period for 2007. The decrease is due primarily to decreased legal expense of $95,765 due to settlement of legal issues, reduced use of consultants for $190,975, reduction in rent costs of $34,882 due to Phoenix sub-lease, reduction in salaries and benefits of $36,135, and a reduction in stock compensation expense of $13,879 partially offset by estimated bad debt expense of $99,000 for the quarter.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest expense of $658,338 in the three months ended July 31, 2008 increased $145,616 when compared to $512,722 incurred in the three months ended July 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increased debt the Company incurred through the entering into the $12.0 million senior secured facility in December 2007 and increased convertible debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the quarter, the Company obtained additional funding through the sales of preferred equity and the issuance of convertible debt for $500,000 and $1.0 million respectively. The funding is being used to support the development of its West Texas operations and for operational activities. The Company has a $15,000,000 credit facility with Standard Bank., which the Company has borrowed $12.0 million as of July 31, 2008. The Company is not currently in compliance with its restrictive financial covenants related to the Standard Bank credit facility and does not have any remaining availability to borrow additional funds. The Company is currently negotiating with Standard Bank to restructure the facility; however, if an agreement is not reached, the Company could be forced to seek protection for creditors.

The Company had capital additions of approximately $564,000 during the quarter primarily due to the additions in the West Texas assets. The West Texas operations have a lower risk profile, but will take longer to provide the desired increase in production. The Company will seek additional debt or equity funds to continue to develop its assets including seeking a partner for the Louisiana project.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Smaller reporting companies are not required to complete this section.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that

information required to be disclosed in the reports that a company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information related to our company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

SONORAN ENERGY INC's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act). Even an effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, the effectiveness of an internal control system in future periods can change with conditions.

SONORAN ENERGY INC's management, under the direction of the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of SONORAN ENERGY INC's internal controls over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management believes that sufficient evidence exists, as of July 31, 2008, to support a conclusion that SONORAN ENERGY INC's internal controls over financial reporting are effective.

Changes in Internal controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in SONORAN ENERGY INC's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, SONORAN ENERGY INC's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal proceedings

Wells Land and Cattle Co., Inc., et.al. v. Sonoran Energy, Inc.

On or about May 18, 2007 Wells Land and Cattle Co., Inc., et.al. filed a lawsuit alleging that Sonoran was illegally disposing of saltwater into a saltwater disposal well on their property, that Sonoran routinely trespasses on its land to reach another well which is not located on plaintiff’s land, that Sonoran spilled saltwater onto Plaintiff’s land, and that an oil well lease covering one well has expired due to lack of production. Plaintiff claims that damages exceed $1,000,000 and asks the court for a permanent injunction against Sonoran from trespassing on Plaintiff’s property for the purpose of reaching the disposal well that is not on its property. A trial date has not been set. However, Sonoran intends to vigorously defend its actions in this matter and anticipates that the matter will be eventually settled for an immaterial amount.

Korker Diversified Holdings Inc. v. Savings Plus Internet and Sonoran Energy, Inc.

During August 2000, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in British Columbia related to Savings Plus’s failure to repay a $35,000 loan that it received from Korker. During April 2008, the Company agreed to withdraw its appeal and committed to pay a total of $145,000 in 8 monthly installments of $15,000 and a final payment of $25,000. The cost of this settlement has been fully accrued as of April 30, 2008.

Crowell ., et.al. v. Sonoran Energy, Inc.

On or about August 28, 2007, a Louisiana land owner filed a lawsuit alleging that Sonoran contaminated ground water by improper operations of our salt water disposal facilities. The plaintiff is requesting a fund to be established for environmental studies and related remediation along with punitive damages for failure to plug and abandon the site. The properties involved have not been active since they were acquired by the Company and any operational issues are related to activities carried out under the former owner and operator. Since we have already recorded an adequate amount to cover plugging and abandonment activities, we believe that insurance coverage and recoveries from previous operators will limit our exposure in this matter to an immaterial amount.
