NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2003
NOTE A: General Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sonoran Energy, Inc. as of and for the six and three months ended October 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002 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 results of the interim period 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. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2003 included in the Company's report in Form 10-KSB, Amendment 4, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE B: Common Stock Dividends and Warrants
The Company declared an eight percent dividend payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2003. The unit stock dividend, paid on August 22, 2003, consisted of one common share plus a warrant allowing shareholders to purchase one share for each ten shares of the Company's stock held on the record date at a $1.00 strike price. The number of shares issued on August 22, 2003 totaled 753,542 and 941,642 related warrants were granted. Shares issued prior to July 22, 2003 have been retroactively restated to reflect the impact at May 1, 2003.
Note C: Restatement
Following a review of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") determined that certain oil and gas reserves previously classified as proved did not qualify as proved reserves pursuant to Regulation S-X, Article 4-10(a)(2). With respect to the oil reserves, the Company obtained a new report prepared by an employee qualified to prepare such reserve estimates, and with respect to the gas reserves, the Company has reflected only those reserves, estimated by an independent petroleum engineer, classified as proved developed producing.
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003, the Company determined that the net carrying value of its oil and gas reserve balances exceeded the cost center ceiling. Consequently, the reduction to reserve quantities and discounted cash flows resulted in an impairment of oil and gas properties of $609,585. In addition, the Company had to amend the depletion calculation for fiscal 2003 to reflect the new cost center ceiling.
Consequently, the reduction to reserve quantities and discounted cash flows resulted in an increase to depletion, depreciation and amortization of $52,236 from $15,267 to $67,503.
The Company chose to account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25 and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAF No. 148. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's stock and the exercise price. The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123 requires the fair value based method of accounting for stock issued to non-employees in exchange for services. The Company revised the valuation of stock transactions at year end which resulted in an increase in cost of $24,684 for the quarter
The following sets forth the effects of the restatements discussed above. Amounts reflected as "As Previously Reported" represent those amounts included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-QSB/A for the quarter ended October 31, 2003.

Overview
Sonoran Energy, Inc. (the "Company", "Sonoran" and sometimes "we," "us," "our" and derivatives of such words), formerly named Showstar Online.com Inc., was incorporated on July 14, 1995 in the State of Colorado as Cerotex Holdings, Inc. Prior to June 2002 the company had developed software and an art site on the Internet. The project had to be discontinued due to lack of funding. On June 3, 2002 the Company changed its name to Sonoran Energy, Inc. and began the acquisition of undervalued oil and gas properties.
General
Results from the second quarter were highlighted by the completion of the holding tank and the well reactivation program on the Company's Emjayco Glide #33 property. The tank replacement was completed in July and production on Glide started up in August. The reactivation work was intended to increase oil production on the 160-acre property by reactivating several additional well sites. Well #5 on the Emjayco Glide #33 property was the first to be successfully reactivated. This is the first production from this well since 1970 when it was shut down by a fire. By the end of October, the oil cut was 1% on a flow of 780 barrels a day. A new pump unit installed on the #5 well now has the largest capacity of any pump unit on the Glide lease. Sonoran Energy and its operating partner, Longbow LLC, now plan to study the viability of upgrading several other wells on the Glide lease to larger units. In exchange for the reactivation work on Glide #5, Sonoran's operating partner, Longbow LLC, received an earlier advance of 10% on its net revenue interest on the Glide property. Sonoran Energy was receiving an 80-20 split on net revenues from the Glide lease before moving to a 60-40 working interest split once 150% of the acquisition costs are realized. Following the exchange, Longbow receives an additional 10% moving the split on net revenues to 70-30 until 150% of the acquisition costs are realized. It will then move to 60-40. The Keystone and Merzonian
fields continue to produce well and are averaging about 1,000 barrels a month each which exceeds our original forecasts.
The Company was also successful in raising an additional $200,000 to cover its development costs in the quarter. Sonoran also received recompletion cash calls as part of its participation in the Gay 12-1, WH Smith #2 and Lambie 4-3 gas wells. The Gay 12-1 project was successful and is producing, the WH Smith #2 was plugged and shut in, and the
Lambie was also successful and is now in production.
In October, the Company acquired a minimum 4% working interest in a 160-acre oil and gas prospect known as the Northeast 12 Prospect with a potential reserve of 4.6 BCF of 1000+ BTU gas. Sonoran also has the right to participate in all future wells on the prospect located in the North West Lost Hills Oil and Gas Field in Kern County, California. If the drilling program is successful, Sonoran has an option to acquire similar working interests in up to 14 additional prospects adjoining the property.

Analysis of Operations
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended October 31, 2003 compared to the Six Months Ended October 31, 2002:
REVENUES
Revenue was $214,528 in the six months ended October 31, 2003 and $0 in the six months ended October 31, 2002. As the Company changed its business plan early in June 2002 to enter the oil and gas industry there were no revenue generating operations in the first six months of last year. The factors impacting revenue for October 31, 2003 are discussed above in the general comments.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION COSTS
Oil and gas production cost was $125,475 in the six month period ended October 31, 2003 and $0 in October 31, 2002. Oil and gas production cost as a percentage of revenue increased slightly in this quarter reflecting the cash calls mentioned above on the gas properties.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 20 % for the six months ended October 31, 2003, when compared with the same period for 2002. General and administrative expense includes all the company administrative expense, officer fees, travel, legal and accounting. Management continues to try to keep these costs at minimal levels without inhibiting the efficient operation of the Company. Stock based consulting has been reduced as the Company no longer needs the concentrated effort it has in the early stages of its entrance into the oil and gas industry.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense was $143,639 for the six months ended October 31, 2003 and $70,689 in October 31, 2002. The increase in expense is due primarily to the Note Payable issued in connection with the acquisition of property in December 2002.
DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
The provision for depletion, depreciation and amortization was $67,503 for the six months ended October 31, 2003 reflecting the cost associated with the operations from the oil and gas leases which were not part of the Company in 2002.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
The liability settlement gains arise from the Company being able to settle longer term debt from expense incurred prior to its entry into the oil and gas industry.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company believes that it will be able to source debt and equity financing to be able to fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. The Company expects to increase its capital expenditures during the current fiscal year to increase its current oil and gas production capacities through acquisitions and on-site development in current holdings. The Company will need to continue to attract additional financing in order to move forward with these efforts.
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, 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 in California.
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.
