REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sonoran Energy, Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Sonoran Energy, Inc. as of October 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month and six month periods ended October 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2005
NOTE A: General Information
The accompanying un-audited condensed consolidated financial statements of Sonoran Energy, Inc. as of and for the six months ended October 31, 2005 and October 31, 2004 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, 2005 included in the Company's report in Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting to account for its oil and gas operations. Accordingly, we capitalize the cost to acquire, explore for and develop oil and gas properties. Under the theory of full cost accounting, all successful and unsuccessful costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development activities are considered to be part of the cost of any oil and gas found and produced and should therefore be amortized over a unit of production method.
Note B: Indebtedness to Related parties
The Company was advanced $100,000 on August 4, 2004 by a relation of our Vice President of North American operations. The term of the note is one year and carries interest of 12% per annum.
The Company repaid $75,000 of this note during the first quarter and has repaid the remaining $25,000 plus interest during this quarter.
Note C: Other Assets
Deferred finance charges
The Company incurred commitment fees and finder fees for the Cornell Capital convertible debentures totaling $689,000. The commitment fee payable to Cornell Capital of $425,000 in the form of a non-interest bearing convertible note (see Note E) has been discounted at 5% to reflect an imputed interest over the term of the note resulting in a net commitments fee of $365,936 at the time of the agreement. The discount of $59,064 is shown on the Balance Sheet as Convertible note discount. The term of the debenture is three years and the Company has chosen to amortize the commitment and finder fees over the life of the debenture resulting in a charge to interest expense this quarter of $51,187.67. The Company also charged interest expense with $53,157 this quarter for amortization of the discount as the note was repaid during the three months ended October 31, 2005.
Note D: Loan Payable
During July 2004 the Company issued a promissory note for $165,000 to Glencoe Capital Inc for the purposes of placing the advance payment on the Texas property. The note bears an interest rate of 12% per annum commencing on August 16th, 2004. Of this $15,000 was held by the lender to cover its fees for services. The term of the note was initially August 16, 2004, but the term was extended by verbal agreement between both parties. In addition, Zenith Financial, as guarantor, pledged 330,000 shares of the Company's stock it held as collateral for the loan. In November 2004, Glencoe Capital, Inc. chose to foreclose on the collateral and sell the pledged shares and by April 15, 2005 had sold all of the pledged shares. The Company recorded a liability to Zenith of $218,121 for the replacement of the sold collateral. The obligation to Zenith at July 31, 2005 includes 80,000 additional shares of the Company's common stock as a fee payable to Zenith. The company issued 410 ,000 shares on August 11, 2005 in payment of this debt.

Note E: Convertible Debentures
On October 18, 2004, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. wherein we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners shares of our common stock for a total purchase price of up to $15,000,000. For each share of common stock purchased under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners will pay 100% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock as quoted on Bloomberg LP during the five consecutive trading days immediately following the notice date.
The Company agreed to pay Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. 5% of the proceeds that we receive under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. In addition, upon execution of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we paid Cornell Capital Partners a commitment fee in the amount of $425,000, which was paid by the issuance of a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $425,000. The convertible debenture has a term of three years, has no stated interest is convertible into our common stock. The convertible debenture was discounted at 5% over three years resulting in a discount of $59,064. This discount is amortized as interest expense over the three year term of the debenture.
We also received proceeds from $1,680,000 in convertible debentures, funded at the initial closing for which Cornell earns a fee of 10% with an additional 6% paid to QuestStar Capital Partners. The details on conversion can be viewed in the April 30, 2005 10K.
On Aug 17 the Company signed an agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP that replaces the existing agreement. Under the new agreement the lender chose to convert the $425,000 commitment fee note into 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. The balance of $1,680,000 plus accrued interest, plus a delay fee of approximately $272,000 resulted in a total debt of $2,021,172 bearing interest at 5% annually, repayable at $150,000 per month plus interest over 13 months starting November 1, 2005 with a final payment of $71,461 in the 14th month.
The lender has the right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding amount to common stock at a price of $0.54 per share subject to the actual shares received cannot exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares. The Company has charged $21,042.34 to interest expense this quarter reflecting the expense from Aug. 17 to October 31, 2005. Additionally, the Company recorded a debt discount for the beneficial conversion feature in the note agreement of $337,000.

Note F: Asset Retirement Obligation
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement cost is allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 were effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
The following table is a reconciliation of the Company's liability for asset retirement obligations:

| | | | | | |
| | Options Issued to Non-Employees | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Weighted Average Fair Value | Exercisable | Weighted Average Exercise Price - Exercisable |
| Options Issued to Employees |
Outstanding, April 30, 2005 | 9,700,000 | 4,300,000 | $ 0.53 | $ 0.29 | 14,000,000 | 0.53 |

Options exercised | - | - | - | - | - | - |
Options cancelled | 150,000 | - | 0.20 | - | 150,000 | 0.20 |

| | | | | | |
The fair value for the options granted during the year ended April 30, 2005 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.24%
Dividend yield . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.00%
Volatility factor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 138.60%
Weighted average expected life . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 years
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. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options. However, the Company has presented the pro forma net loss and pro forma basic and diluted loss per common share using the assumptions noted above.

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, 2005.
General
The Company completed the move of the Head Office to Chandler, Arizona during the quarter, thereby consolidating part of the Management team in one area resulting in operational efficiencies. The Company continues to maintain a presence in London and an office in Jordan for operations and administrating middle east operations.
The Company was able to arrange a private placement of $8.5 million of which $4.3 million had been received by October 31, 2005. The proceeds of the private placement will serve as a catalyst as we develop our domestic oil and gas opportunities, and start work on the PSA in Jordan. Investors largely comprise individuals from the Middle East who could provide both insight and influence to assist Sonoran in its expansion plans for the region.
Comments on operations during the second quarter:
East Texas fields:
-
JRC/Lisa Layne: Production from the East Texas fields has improved after the modifications that were implemented in the last quarter but the high volumes of water that are produced through the use of Electrical Submersible Pumps continues to present a problem and is overloading the existing disposal wells. We are currently looking for an additional well that can be turned into a water disposal well that will then allow the field to be produced to its capacity.
-
Ann McKnight Unit: This unit continues to successfully produce without experiencing any major incidents and an additional well, the Ann McKnight 202 was brought onto production in September. Plans are currently being developed to bring into production an additional two wells and reactivate the gas sales system that will allow us to sell gas from this Unit.
Louisiana: Sonoran Energy has taken over the role as Operator in Louisiana and has been working with RLG International, one of our strategic partners, in the preparation of the necessary procedures and plans for the reentry into four of the existing wells. RLG International are supporting our operations with the provision of high caliber consultants who specialize in operational optimization through improvements in field operations. Plans have been finalized and as of the end of October, operations had commenced on the clean out of four of the existing wells with the objective of having production at the 200 boed level by the end of November.
The completion of the Baron Oil acquisition brings to Sonoran Energy the KWB field which Sonoran Energy management commenced the exercise of some technical and administrative control over its operations through relocating the well files from the field to a an office in Midland for safekeeping. We successfully established the necessary liaison network with the field personnel to allow us to monitor operations in the field during the pending completion of the pre-acquisition audit.
Management continues to review opportunities for the acquisition of additional quality assets that will allow us to increase our presence in the United States.
Middle East, North Africa and Caspian:
The Company appointed Kamel Khalidi as Exploration and New Ventures Manager for the Middle East, North Africa and Caspian. Kamel Khalidi is a well-known Jordanian petroleum geologist with worldwide oil and gas exploration and development experience.
The Company finalized the terms of a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with the Natural Resources Authority (NRA) of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The terms of the PSA for the exploration and development of the Azraq Block have been endorsed by the Jordanian Government Cabinet. The PSA will be passed to the Jordanian Parliament for formal approval and ratification in its next session, leading to the signature by His Majesty King Abdullah II, King of Jordan.

Analysis of Operations
Results of Operations for the Six Months ended October 31, 2005 compared to the Six Months ended October 31, 2004:
REVENUES
The Company generated total revenues of $933,869 during the six months ended October 31, 2005 as compared to $53,431 revenue generated for the six months ended October 31, 2004.
The significant increase in the Company’s revenue is a direct result of the acquisition of the East Texas properties and the increased production of that oil field resulting in revenue of $656,762. In addition, the Company generated $ 202,895 in consulting revenue through its acquisition of Scottsdale Oil. The revenue that was generated during the six months ended October 31, 2004 was mainly from the minor oil production from the Louisiana properties only. As the Company does not anticipate on-going revenues from consulting, we determined that segmented information would not be considered meaningful nor informative.
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION COSTS
Oil and gas production costs were $450,461 for the six months ending October 31, 2005 as compared to the $200,355 for the six months ending October 31, 2004. The increase reflects two full quarters cost of the East Texas operation which the Company did not own in the first half of 2004. Increased oil prices and improved operations resulted in a gross margin of 38% for them six months of 2005 compared to a loss for the same period last year. Management continues to review the operating costs to determine areas in which to improve performance and to lower costs
DEPLETION, DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depletion, depreciation and amortization charge was $107,267 for the six months ended October 31, 2005 compared to $566 for the six months ended October 31, 2004. The current six months reflects the depreciation on equipment plus depletion expense of $91,203 on the East Texas fields. Last year the Company did not record any depletion expense on its unproved properties and had not yet acquired the East Texas property.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company chose to recognize the efforts and commitment of the officers and staff during the previous year and for the future with an incentive share allocation that resulted in the issuance of 4.2 million shares at $0.70 per share, 270 K at $0.54 and 273 K at $0.78 being the market values on the date of issue. The Director’s also agreed to take their fees in common stock with the issuance of 500K shares at $0.70 per share, 100 K at $0.54 and 1000 K at $0.78 being the market values on the date of issue. The company was able to settle a legal matter with two consultants by the issuance of 300,000 shares at $0.70 for a total of $210 K.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.5 million dollars for the six months ended October 31, 2005, when compared with the same period for 2004. The Company now employs several experienced oil and gas personal and has offices in Arizona, London and Jordan for part of the first six months. The increase is also attributable to the increased travel expense due to the Company's efforts to penetrate the global market place.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has successfully managed to source sufficient immediate funding through a combination of debt and equity during the last few months. These funds will be targeted at developing the Company's current assets to enable it to generate positive cash flow and be the basis for additional future oil field acquisitions.. The Company strongly believes that the current assets base combined with its potential future acquisitions will be sufficient to fund its anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs and requirements. At the present time, Management feels that there are strong opportunities to enhance its existing wells and technical discussions have been held regarding efforts to tap into the 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:
