The original closing for the property was to be July 30, 2004 but both parties have agreed to extend the closing date until October 15, 2004. The purchase price is based upon the Seller's working interest in and to the Properties but will adjusted to reflect the seller's actual working interest and associated net revenue interest, and proper allocation of revenues, credits and expenses as of the effective date which is to be decided.
Note C: Note Payable
During July 2004 the Company issued a promissory note for $165,000 to Glencoe Capital Inc for the purposes of putting the down payment on the Texas property.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "believes", "anticipates", "plans", "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Sonoran Energy, Inc. (the "Company", "Sonoran", and sometimes "we", "us", "our" and derivatives of such words) undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's disclosures included in their Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004.
General
The Company used the first quarter of 2005 to review its operations and explore opportunities in the Middle East in order to prepare a proper business plan and pursue financial backing to implement the plan. The addition of Bill McFie and Rasheed Rafidi in the quarter added to the strength of the management team as they bring many years of oil and gas industry experience to the team.
On the operating front, we had minimal production from the Louisiana properties pending the start of capital expenditures to ramp up production in the second and ensuing quarters. The company continued the process required for the acquisitions of Scottsdale Oil Field Services and Baron Oil. In addition the Company put a deposit on an oil and gas operation in two fields in Texas with closing to take place in the second quarter of fiscal 2005.
Page 4
Analysis of Operations
Results of Operations for the First Quarter Ended July 31, 2004 compared to the First Quarter Ended July 31, 2003:
REVENUES
Revenues were $31,282 for the quarter ending July 31, 2004 and $107,092 for the quarter ending July 31, 2003. As mentioned above, we had minimal production from the Louisiana field in the first quarter this year versus a whole quarter's operation of the working interests acquired in 2003 which were sold in January 2004.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION COSTS
Oil and gas production costs were $135,707 for the quarter ending July 31, 2004 and $72,174 for the quarter ending July 31, 2003. The operating expense was higher due to the costs of maintaining the 15,000 acre parcel which makes up the Louisiana property. Management is currently reviewing the operating costs in detail to find areas in which to improve performance and lower costs.
DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depletion, depreciation and amortization was $274 for the quarter ended July 31, 2004 compared to $33,080 for the quarter ended July 31, 2003. The current quarter reflects the depreciation on equipment only whereas last year's figure includes the depletion on the oil and gas properties held at that time but subsequently sold. The Company did not record any depletion expense on its unproved properties this quarter.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company issued 77,280 shares for $100,000, valued at the average market price for the 5 days prior to the agreement date, to a consulting firm that prepared information for investors and that can also be used for presentations to financial institutions.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses increased by $411,249 for the quarter ended July 31, 2004, when compared with the same period for 2003. The Company now employs several experienced oil and gas personal and has had increases in travel expense due to entrance into the global market place.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that it will be able to source sufficient funds through new debt and equity in the next three quarters to develop its existing current assets and planned acquisitions so that these operations will be sufficient to fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. At the present time, Management feels that there are opportunities to enhance existing wells and discussions have been held regarding efforts to tap into possible reserves on the oil properties.
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, 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.
Foreign Currency Exposure
Sonoran is not exposed to fluctuations in foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar at this time but, as Sonoran expands its operations, it may begin to collect revenues from customers in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Sonoran does not currently engage in any hedging activities.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on an evaluation conducted within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures have functioned effectively so as to provide those officers the information necessary whether:
(i) this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, and
(ii) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB.
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors since the date of the Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Financial Officer's evaluation that could significantly affect these internal controls, including any corrective actions with regards to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
