Re:          Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation  (the “Company”)
Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-149241 (the “Registration Statement”)


 
Dear Ms. O’Brien:

On behalf of the Company, we are hereby enclosing two copies of Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) that was filed on February 14, 2008.

By letter dated May 23, 2008, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) issued comments on Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.  Following are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments.  For ease of reference, each response is preceded by the Staff’s comment.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

Corporate History, page 24

1.  
We note from your disclosure that “Marion traded its 30% partnership interest in 59 Disposal, LP for 30% ownership in 59 Disposal’s assets.”  Please tell us and expand your disclosure to explain the accounting impact of this transaction, if any.  We note your related disclosure within footnote 15 on page F-28.  Please advise.

The Company has expanded the related disclosures in accordance with the Staff’s comment.  See page 22 of the Registration Statement.

The transaction resulted in an increase in accounts payable, related parties of approximately $258,000 on the Company’s December 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheets and a distribution of Marion’s total partnership capital invested in 59 Disposal, which also approximated $258,000.  The distribution is reflected on the Company’s consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Well Economics, page 26

2.
We note from your response to prior comment number 12 that you revised the disclosures to comply with FAS 69.  However, we were unable to determine how your revisions included the additional disclosures requested by the prior comment.  Therefore, we reissue prior comment number 12 in its entirety.  Please expand your disclosure accordingly or otherwise explain to us how you have complied with prior comment number 12.

The Company has expanded the disclosures relating to the well economics section to include the additional disclosures pertaining to how management uses the finding and development costs measure, the limitations of the measure and whether or not the measure is comparable to other like measures disclosed by other companies.  See page 24 of the Registration Statement.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 41

3.  
We note your disclosure that TR Energy owed you $539,805 for its proportionate share of the operating losses incurred by 59 Disposal and a jointly owned pipeline.  Based on this disclosure, it appears that, prior to your acquisition of 59 Disposal in December 2007, you were accounting for the operations of this entity and a certain jointly owned pipeline under the proportionate method of accounting.  If our understanding is correct, please tell us and expand your accounting policy footnote to explain how you complied with EITF 00-1, which allows for proportionate gross financial statement presentation for equity method investments in either the construction or extractive industry and not in such activities as refining, marketing or transporting extracted mineral resources, or otherwise advise.

The Company has corrected its accounting of the amounts owed from TR Energy and has revised its disclosure accordingly.  Of the $539,805 originally disclosed, $485,311 represented receivables that were improperly booked to capital contributions.  The Company has corrected the Accounts receivable, related parties and Additional paid-in capital for this amount.

The remaining amounts owed by TR Energy to the Company included $32,609, which represented that entity’s portion of certain shared expenses (which included rent, contract labor, and other general and administrative type expenses) and $21,885, representing TR Energy’s 30% working interest share of the losses of the jointly owned pipeline.  The accounting prescribed by EITF 00-1, “Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures” does not apply to the Company, as the Company is accounting for a working interest owned by a related party, not an equity method investment.

Consolidated Statements of Operations, page F-4

4.  
We note that you present stock-based compensation as a separate component of operating expenses.  Please modify your presentation to include the expense related to share-based payments arrangements in the same line item or lines as cash compensation paid to the same employees.  Refer to SAB Topic 14:F for further guidance.

The Company has revised the December 31, 2007 consolidated statements of operations to include stock-based compensation in the same line as general and administrative expenses.

Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, page F-5

5.
Please expand your footnote disclosure to explain the nature of transaction that resulted in the capital distribution during 2007 of $257,942.

The Company has expanded the footnote disclosure to explain the nature of the transaction that resulted in the capital distribution of $257,942 during 2007.

Note 3. Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-12

6.
We note from your disclosure that one of your restatements was to “properly present net loss and capital attributable to Marion’s minority interest in 59 Disposal.”  Based on this disclosure, please explain where you have reported the referenced minority interest in your consolidated financial statements.

The Company has restated its 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements to address the minority interest issue that was previously unaccounted for.  Please see the new restatement footnote located at note 3 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation, Page F-23

7.
We note from your disclosure on page F-24 that you used an expected term of 5 years in your Black-Scholes valuation model.  Given that you granted stock options for the first time in 2007, please tell us how you determined that the expected term of these options was 5 years.  Refer to SAB Topic 14:D:2 concerning the use of expected term in the Black-Scholes model.

The expected term was determined through researching similar oil and gas companies’ disclosures.  In all cases the expected term was found to be the maximum term of the options.

Note 13. Income Taxes, page F-25

8.
We note from your response to prior comment number 25 that you report the Texas franchise taxes on a gross basis.  We further note your expanded disclosure on page F-26, which states, “As the tax base for computing Texas margin tax is derived from gross receipts, the Company has determined the margin tax is an income tax and the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities should be included in the deferred tax calculation;” and that this amount “is reflected in the income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.”  Please confirm, if true, that your response with respect to Texas franchise tax relates to your disclosure concerning the Texas margin tax or otherwise advise.  In addition, please clarify in your disclosure whether you are reporting your Texas margin tax on a gross or net basis, as contemplated by paragraph four of EITF 06-3.

The Company confirms that its response with respect to Texas franchise tax relates to its disclosure concerning the Texas margin tax.  Also, upon further review, the Company does not believe that the Texas margin tax falls under the guidance directed by EITF 06-3.  The Texas margin tax is not a tax imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer.  The Company has expanded its Income Tax disclosure in order to better clarify how the Texas margin tax is derived.

Costs Incurred

9.  
We note your inclusion of a separate line for asset retirement costs.  Please modify your presentation so that amounts incurred related to asset retirement obligations are included in the balance of the line items required to be disclosed as there is no provision for this line item in paragraph 21 and illustration 2 of FAS 69.

The Company advises the Staff that it included the asset retirement costs in this disclosure due to the February 24, 2004 sample letter sent to oil and gas producers regarding FAS 69 and FAS 143, located at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/oilgasletter.htm.  This letter notes that “the Costs Incurred disclosures in a given period should include asset retirement costs capitalized during the year.”

Well Economics, page 26

10.
We have reviewed your response to prior comment 32.  Please revise your document and disclose the average sales price received for oil and for gas in both 2006 and 2007.  Please see Industry Guide 2.

The Company has revised its disclosure to reflect the average sales price for oil and for gas in both 2006 and 2007.

Reserve Quantity Information, page F-32

11.
Please revise your document to disclose that the independent engineer that determined your reserves also planned and supervised the drilling and completion of the four wells that you have drilled in the East Texas project.  Separately disclose the compensation that you provided for the drilling work and for the reserve estimation work for each of the last two years.  Also, tell us his background in estimation of reserves.

 
The Company has revised its disclosure to include that James Smith supervised the drilling of its wells and also determined the reserve estimations. The compensation paid to James E. Smith & Associates for the last two years has also been included in the revised disclosure.  In regards to James E. Smith’s background in estimation of reserves, his resume is attached as Annex B.
 
Changes in proved developed and underdeveloped reserves, page F-32

12.
We have reviewed your response to comment 34.  As new reserves were added due to the drilling of the wells, these increases should be described as discoveries and extensions and not revisions.  Please see paragraph 11 of SFAS 69.  Please revise your document as necessary.

The Company advises the Staff that it inadvertently used a reserve report which included reserves added during January 2008 that resulted from the drilling of the wells.  The reserve report has been corrected for the proper cutoff date of December 31, 2007.  The new reserves will be reflected in 2008 as discoveries and extensions.

13.
Please confirm that the recent drilling and testing which justified the increase in reserves took place as of December 31, 2007.

The Company advises the Staff that it inadvertently used a reserve report which included reserves added during January 2008 that resulted from the drilling of the wells.  The reserve report has been corrected for the proper cutoff date of December 31, 2007.  Accordingly, the Company has made revisions to the Registration Statement.

14.
We have reviewed your response to prior comment 35 and re-issue our prior comment as you still report twice the reserves and your production has decreased significantly from 2006 to 2007.  Your production in the first two months of 2008 will only provide annual production of 5232 barrels of oil and 58,056 mcf of gas from your proved developed reserves assuming this production rate is constant throughout the year, which it will not be.  This volume is still significantly lower than that produced in both 2006 and 2007.  Please tell us the basis for maintaining and increasing your proved developed reserves when your production is declining at such a significant rate or alternatively revise your reserves as necessary.

The Company advises the Staff that it inadvertently used a reserve report which included reserves added during January 2008.  The reserve report has been corrected for the proper cutoff date of December 31, 2007 and, as a result, the reserves show a decrease from the end of 2006 to the end of 2007.

15.
We have reviewed your response to prior comment 37.  We do not believe that the supplemental information you cite supports the long reserve lives and note that the revised reserve volumes increase the reserve lives to 79 years for your proved developed oil reserves and to 56 years for your proved developed gas reserves.  Therefore we re-issue our prior comment and with a view towards disclosure please provide sufficient reasons for these long reserve lives or reduce your reserves accordingly.

The reserve report has been corrected for the proper cutoff date of December 31, 2007.  The Company also has moved its proved behind pipe reserves to the proved undeveloped classification due to what the Company believes to be significant future costs to produce the reserves, as a result, the estimated reserve lives are 7 years for our proved developed oil reserves and 7 years for its proved developed gas reserves.

16.
We have reviewed your response to prior comment 38.  Proved developed reserves that require significant costs in the future to bring on production should be classified as proved undeveloped reserves but only if they are scheduled to be completed in a reasonable time frame of approximately five years.  However, we note projects that are not scheduled to be completed until beyond 2022.  Please tell us why you believe these undeveloped reserves meet the definition of proved reserves or revise your document to remove them.

The Company advises the Staff that all lower Cotton Valley PUD’s will be developed within 5 years.  These wells have approximately 20 year lives, which limits wellbore utilization for recompletion in the upper Cotton Valley/upper Travis Peak/Pettit zones to beyond the 20 year life.

17.
For clarification purposes, please provide summary information from the reserve report that shows the following in tabular format as of December 31, 2007 with NPV at 10% of all reserve categories shown below after you have made any necessary reserve adjustments due to the other comments:

·  
Proved developed producing net oil reserves;
·  
Proved developed producing net gas reserves;
·  
Proved developed non-producing net oil reserves;
·  
Proved developed non-producing net gas reserves;
·  
Proved developed behind-pipe net oil reserves;
·  
Proved developed behind-pipe net gas reserves;
·  
Proved undeveloped net oil reserves;
·  
Proved undeveloped net gas reserves.

Please find the summary information attached as Annex B.
 
18.
In Book 1 of the reserve report the evaluator stated that the forecast production profiles for Proved undeveloped vertical wells were based on cumulative production versus time curve analysis of new Cotton Valley (Taylor) wells currently or recently being completed in the nearby Woodlawn field.  Please tell us how near the Woodlawn field is to your wells and the length of production history as of December 31, 2008 you had from the new wells used as an analogy.

The Company advises the Staff that reserves related to the Woodlawn field were those that were inadvertently included in the prior reserve report.  A new reserve report, with the correct cutoff date, has been drafted.  This report omits disclosures regarding the Woodlawn field.

19.  
In Book 1 of the reserve report the evaluator stated that the forecast production profiles for horizontal wells were based on three times the average vertical well cumulative production profile for Bossier C Sand wells in the Kildare and E. Linden fields.  Please tell us the basis for this estimate and how it meets the definition of proved reserves.  Tell us if any horizontal wells have been drilled into the Bossier Sand in this area and if so what the results have been.

The Company advises the Staff that there are no horizontal wells included in the proved classification. The commentary related to the forecast production for horizontal wells was inadvertently included in the prior reserve report.  This information was related to probable reserves and was included in a reserve report that had an incorrect cutoff date.  A new reserve report, with only proved reserves and a correct cutoff date, has been drafted and our SEC reports have been restated accordingly.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

20.
We note you have not concluded as to the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Please modify your disclosure as appropriate under the guidance in Item 307 of Regulation S-K.

The Company advises the Staff that it will amend the Form 10-KSB to modify its disclosures as follows (new language is underscored).
 
Item 8A (T). Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our relevant officers have made conclusions as to the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation is exempt from the requirements of the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, due to the December 12, 2007 reverse merger date with Maple Mountain, a publicly traded shell company.  Maple Mountain, however, is not exempt.  The management of Maple Mountain is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial recorting.  This internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s published financial statements.

A material weakness in internal control is a significant deficiency or an aggregation of significant deficiencies that preclude the entity’s internal control from providing reasonable assurance that material misstatements in the financial statements will be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. A significant deficiency is an internal control deficiency in a significance control or an aggregation of such deficiencies that could result in a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential.
 
The management of Pegasi Energy Resources Corporation has assessed the effectiveness of Maple Mountain's internal control over financial reporting as of December 12, 2007, and this assessment identified the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
 
During our assessment several significant internal control deficiencies became evident.  In the aggregate a material weakness resulted from control deficiencies that included no segregation of duties, whistleblower program not in place, the Company did not have an audit committee, and the board of directors did not oversee management’s process for defining responsibilities for key financial reporting roles due to the fact that a member of the board prepared the financial statements.  As a result of this material weakness, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2007, we were not effective in maintaining (i) disclosure controls and procedures, or (ii) internal control over financial reporting.
 
To make this assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 12, 2007 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
 
This report does not include an attestation report by Whitley Penn, our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permits the Company to only provide management’s report in this Form 10-KSB.

21.
In addition, please confirm, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that your relevant officers have concluded as to the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures at the reasonable assurance level or otherwise advise and so state.  In this regard, we note your statement that “In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.”

See the Company's response to the previous comment.

Please contact the undersigned at 212-981-6766 with any questions or comments you may have with respect to the foregoing.


Very truly yours,
