Supporting Our Drilling Program. Our priority is now drilling, and consequently, our leasing program’s primary objective is to support our planned drilling program by securing holdout leases and renewing leases that are due to expire in those units where we plan to drill over the next twelve months.
|
●
|
Acquiring Additional Drilling Locations. We have an extensive proprietary database that we use to identify additional drilling locations and target acreage for acquisition in the Cornerstone Project area. Most properties in the project area are held by smaller independent companies that lack the resources and expertise to exploit them fully. We intend to pursue these opportunities to selectively expand our portfolio of properties. Acreage additions will complement our existing substantial acreage position in the area and provide us with additional drilling opportunities. We are in discussion with prospective partners to establish a new lease fund to acquire new acreage in 2013.

Horizontal Wells Targeting the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone. Our priority is to drill horizontal wells targeting the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone. We employ the latest horizontal drilling and dynamic multi-stage fracking techniques that have proven so successful in the Bakken Shale in North Dakota and elsewhere to develop the low permeability oil bearing Bossier and Cotton Valley Limestone formations. Our first horizontal well, the Morse #1-H, was drilled with a 2,000 foot horizontal section. This well was completed with a five‐stage frack and recorded an average production rate of 281 Bbl/day of high quality crude oil in its first five days of production. A jet pump system was initially employed to assist production and the well was later shut in for a period of 33 days between August and September 2012 for the installation of a gas lift production system. The well was shut in again on February 25, 2013 for the performance of a remedial work-over operation. The well returned to production on March 19, 2013. The production rate initially stabilized at a rate of approximately 55 Bbl/day of oil and 75 MCF of gas per day. The production rate subsequently declined to an average of approximately 40 Bbl/Day of oil and 60 MCF of gas per day in June 2013. We now believe that the well’s production rate has been compromised by the gas lift system. We intend to install a mechanical pump to replace the gas lift system, although no date has yet been set for such work. We expect that it will take approximately 30 days to install the mechanical pump system. We believe that the successful production of oil from the Morse #1-H supports our development strategy. We have learned much from the drilling, completion and production of the Morse #1-H that will enable us to improve the design and execution of our next planned horizontal well targeting the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone. Having proven our development model, we now plan to drill wells with longer laterals involving 15 to 25 frack stages to improve the well economics. We estimate that the drilling and completion costs of such wells will be approximately $12 million. We are not currently capitalized to drill a program of such wells to develop the Bossier/Cotton Valley Limestone and so are actively engaged in securing the finance to fund such a drilling program. We have a 56% working interest in the Morse #1-H well.

Vertical Wells. Our secondary priority is to drill vertical wells to offset the Norbord #1 discovery of 2010 in the Travis Peak and to recomplete existing wells to maximize their present value by utilizing a multi-zone production technique. During 2012, we drilled two vertical wells to offset the Norbord discovery of 2010. We successfully completed the Haggard B well in May 2012 and it began production in June 2012. In addition, we drilled the Haggard A in 2012 and suspended operations pending completion in the Travis Peak formation with fracture stimulation. The fracture stimulation of the Haggard A, the third development well in the Rodessa (Norbord – Travis Peak) field discovered by Pegasi in 2010, was completed on April 2, 2013. Following flow back of the fracture stimulation fluids, the well achieved an AOF (absolute open flow) daily production rate of 1,341 MCF per day of natural gas and 17 Bbls per day of condensate. We believe that the productivity of the Haggard A from the Travis Peak formation confirms the opportunity to drill further vertical wells targeting this formation in Marion County. In November 2012, we performed a work-over of the Norbord well bore to isolate and test new perforations. A production test of an oil-bearing zone commenced in March 2013 and is ongoing.

General and Administrative Expense: There was a $2,052,076 decrease in general and administrative expense to $683,047 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, from $2,735,123 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The primary reason for the decrease was stock-based compensation of $1,591,631 incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, whereas there was only $131,036 of stock-based compensation incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a $1,460,595 decrease. The compensation resulted from the issuance of stock options to selected employees, executives, directors, and consultants as incentive for continuing our development. The compensation for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was an accrual based on options granted in 2012, which are due to vest in October 2013.

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

1. NATURE
OF OPERATIONS
Pegasi
Energy Resources Corporation (“PERC” or the
“Company”) an independent energy company engaged
in the exploration for, and production of, crude oil and
natural gas. The Company’s focus is on the
development of a repeatable, low-geological risk,
high-potential project in the active East Texas oil and gas
region. The Company’s business strategy in
what it has designated the “Cornerstone Project”,
is to identify and exploit resources in and adjacent to
existing or indicated producing areas within the mature
Rodessa field. The Company believes that it is uniquely
familiar with the history and geology of the Cornerstone
Project area based on its collective experience in the region
as well as through its development and ownership of a large
proprietary database, which details the drilling history of
the Cornerstone Project area since 1980. In 2012,
the Company drilled the Morse #1-H well targeting the Bossier
formation and completed it using hydraulic fracture
stimulation techniques. The Morse #1-H is the
first such horizontal well completed in the Rodessa field and
the Company believes that implementing the latest proven
drilling and completion techniques to exploit its geological
insight in the Cornerstone Project area will enable it to
find significant oil and gas reserves.
PERC
conducts its main exploration and production operations
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pegasi Operating,
Inc. ("POI"). It conducts additional
operations through another wholly-owned subsidiary, TR
Rodessa, Inc. ("TR Rodessa").
TR
Rodessa owns an 80% undivided interest in and operates a
40-mile natural gas pipeline and gathering system which is
currently being used by PERC to transport its hydrocarbons to
market. Excess capacity on this system is used to

3. FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FASB
ASC Topic 825, Financial
Instruments, requires certain disclosures regarding
the fair value of financial instruments. Fair
value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in
time, based on relevant information about financial markets
and specific financial instruments. As these
estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can
significantly affect estimated fair values.
FASB
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurement, defines fair value as the price that
would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the
fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required
or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company
considers the principal or most advantageous market in which
it would transact and it considers assumptions that market
participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability.
FASB
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization
within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest
level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. FASB
ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be
used to measure fair value:
Level 1 -
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 -
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are
inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical assets
or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or
infrequent transactions (less active markets); or
model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or
corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 -
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are
unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are
significant to the measurement of the fair value of the
assets or liabilities.
The
following table sets forth our estimate of fair value of our
financial instruments that are liabilities as of June 30,
2013:
The
following table sets forth our estimate of fair value of our
financial instruments that are liabilities as of December 31,

The
following table sets forth a summary of changes in fair value
of our asset retirement obligation during the six months
ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
In
accordance with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC Topic
No. 825, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets
and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under
this statement and includes this additional information in
the notes to consolidated financial statements when the
fair value is different than the carrying value of these
financial instruments. The estimated fair values
of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current
assets and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying
amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these
instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt
approximates market value due to the use of market interest
rates.

Plan”), 2010 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the
“2010 Plan”) and the 2012 Incentive Stock Option
Plan (the “2012 Plan”) for directors, executives,
selected employees, and consultants to reward them for making
major contributions to the success of the Company by issuing
long-term incentive awards under these Plans thereby
providing them with an interest and incentive in the growth
and performance of the Company. The 2007 Plan
reserves 1,750,000 shares of common stock for issuance by the
Company as stock options. The 2010 Plan reserves
5,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance by the Company
as stock options, stock awards or restricted stock purchase
offers. The 2012 Plan reserves 10,000,000 shares
of common stock for issuance by the Company as stock options,

There
were no options granted and vested during the six months
ended June 30, 2013. There were 4,730,775 options granted and
vested during the six months ended June 30,
2012. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the

expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation
arrangements, respectively.
A

The
following is a summary of stock options outstanding at June
30, 2013:
Based
on the Company's stock price of $0.84 at June 30, 2013, the
options outstanding had an intrinsic value of
$2,599,581.
Total
options exercisable at June 30, 2013 amounted to 7,700,060
shares and had a weighted average exercise price of
$0.55. Upon exercise, the Company issues the full
amount of shares exercisable per the term of the options from
new shares. The Company has no plans to repurchase
those shares in the future. The following is a
summary of options exercisable at June 30, 2013 and December
31, 2012:
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the
Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model, consistent with
the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505 and FASB ASC Topic
718. Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate
the fair value of stock options include the grant price of
the award, the expected option term, volatility of the
Company’s stock, the risk-free rate and the
Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair
value are not intended to predict actual future events or the
value ultimately realized by grantees, and subsequent events
are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original
estimates of fair value made by the Company. The
Company uses the simplified method to determine the expected
term on options issued.
