New Source Energy Corporation
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 30, 2011
File No. 333-176548
Dear Ms. Parker:
On behalf of New Source Energy Corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), enclosed are the Company’s responses to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission in its comment letter dated September 27, 2011. Concurrently with the delivery of this letter, the Company is submitting (via EDGAR) an amended registration statement, which reflects changes made to our registration statement in response to the Staff’s comments. Courtesy copies of this letter and the amended registration statement (specifically marked to show the changes thereto) are being submitted to the Staff. We have repeated each of the Staff’s comments in italics below in the order in which they were raised in the comment letter (with page references unchanged) and have included the Company’s response to each such comment immediately below the comment (with page references to the amended registration statement). All terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the amended registration statement.
General
1. | Where comments on a section also relate to disclosure in another section, please make parallel changes to all affected disclosure. This will eliminate the need for us to repeat similar comments. Also, your response letter should include page number references keying each response to the page of the filing where the responsive disclosure can be found. This will expedite our review of filing. |
Response: We have endeavored to update applicable disclosure in every place it appears and have included page references to each such change.

2. | We will process your amendment without price ranges. Since the price range you select will affect disclosure in several sections of the documents, we will need sufficient time to process your amendments once a price range is included. We will also need sufficient time to process the material information now appearing blank throughout the document has been provided, as well as any missing exhibits such as the legal opinion. |
Response: We will provide updates on items dependent on price range when the price range is determined and update our filings to include missing exhibits when such exhibits are available.
3. | Please advise us regarding the status of your application to list on the NYSE. |
Response: We are on the agenda for the NYSE clearing meeting scheduled for October 20, 2011. Once cleared, we plan to file a listing application which we expect will be approved within 3-5 days of filing.
4. | Prior to the effectiveness of your registration statement, please be sure that we receive a copy of the letter, or a telephone call, from FINRA, stating that FINRA has completed its review and has no additional concerns with respect to the proposed underwriting arrangements. |
Response: Our underwriters’ counsel has initiated the FINRA review process, and we will be sure that you receive an indication of FINRA approval prior to requesting that our registration statement be declared effective.
5. | Please explain to us the relationship between New Source Energy Corporation and New Source Energy Group, Inc. |
Response: New Source Energy Group, Inc. (“NSE Group”) is a public company formerly known as Ametrine Capital, Inc. that currently conducts no active business, often referred to as a “public shell.” It was originally identified as a potential vehicle for acquisition of the Acquired Assets described in our registration statement, and certain steps were taken in order to position NSE Group to become the acquirer of the Acquired Assets, including its name change to its current name. However, upon further consideration, it was decided not to use a public shell for this acquisition and instead to form a new issuer, and our
New Source Energy Corporation | ||
Anne Nguyen Parker, Branch Chief | October 11, 2011 | |
Securities and Exchange Commission | Page 3 |
Company was then formed for this purpose. Presently, the only relationship between NSE Group and us is that Kristian B. Kos is a director and stockholder of both companies. Mr. Kos and certain of our other directors and officers were at one time appointed directors and officers of NSE Group, but all of them resigned from those positions with NSE Group (other than Mr. Kos as its director) when the decision was made not to use the public shell for the acquisition. NSE Group is exploring other business opportunities, but we do not anticipate that NSE Group will have any material relationship with us going forward. We have been advised that NSE Group is in the process of changing its name again to a name that does not include “New Source Energy” in order to avoid confusing investors with respect to the two companies. We are further advised that the change of name should occur prior to October 31, 2011.
6. | Please monitor your need to update your financial statements and provide an updated auditor’s consent. |
Response: We understand our obligations to update our financial statements and auditor’s consent and will do so when required.
Prospectus Summary, page 1
7. | The first time you mention your “specialized processes” and “low cost access,” please provide an expanded explanation of what these are, or a cross-reference to more detailed explanations found elsewhere in the filing. |
Response: We have revised this disclosure on page 1 to cross reference the more detailed explanations of “specialized processes” and “low cost access” contained in the Business section of the amended registration statement filed concurrently with this letter on pages 1 and 68.
8. | Where you state at page 2 that pursuant to your right of refusal, “New Dominion and Scintilla will prove up this additional leasehold before offering [you] the opportunity to acquire interests in these projects,” please clarify what you mean by “prove up.” |
Response: We have revised the disclosure on pages 2 and 68 of the amended registration statement filed concurrently with this letter to clarify the meaning of “prove up.”

Financial Statements – Oil and Natural Gas Properties Transferred to New Source Energy Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations, page F-7
24. | Please clarify whether the oil and natural gas properties transferred from Scintilla on August 12, 2011 representsubstantially all of Scintilla’s key operating assets and provide to us an analysis supporting your conclusion. In your response, please also tell us whether you have considered the requirements to provide full audited financial statements of Scintilla and eliminate the specified assets and liabilities not transferred in pro forms financial statements. If substantially all of Scintilla’s key operating assets and liabilities were not transferred from Scintilla, please also explain to us how the financial statements on a “carve-out” basis reflect all of the assets, liabilities and operations of the acquired business, tell us how they comply with the guidance in SAB Topic 1B.1, and explain whether all assets and liabilities of the acquired business were transferred to you. |

Anne Nguyen Parker, Branch Chief | October 11, 2011 | |
Securities and Exchange Commission | Page 9 |
Response: The oil and natural gas properties transferred from Scintilla on August 12, 2011 do not represent substantially all of Scintilla’s key operating assets. Prior to filing, we considered the propriety of providing full audited financial statements of Scintilla and eliminating the specified assets and liabilities not transferred in pro forma financial statements and concluded that this approach was not appropriate. We consulted available guidance in the area and concluded that providing “carve out” financial statements would provide the most meaningful presentation to potential investors of the financial condition and the results of operations of the Company.
The Division of Corporation FinanceFinancial Reporting Manual,Section 2, provides guidance regarding the financial statements to be presented when a registrant acquires selected assets of an entity and sets forth the conditions under which less than “full financial statements” may be appropriate. Specifically, item 2065.2 states:
In some circumstances, a registrant does not acquire or succeed to substantially all of the assets and liabilities of another entity. For example, the selling entity may retain significant operating assets, or significant operating assets that comprised the seller may continue to be operated by an entity other than the registrant. In these circumstances, financial statements of the larger entity of which the acquired business was a part may not be informative. In that case, audited financial statements usually should be presented for the acquired component business, excluding the continuing operations retained by the larger entity.
This is precisely the circumstance of the Company. Scintilla continues to exist and to operate substantial assets which were not transferred to us as explained more fully below.
Prior to the transfer, Scintilla had classified its properties into five major projects. The classification of the properties was based on various considerations, including: maturity (proved/producing, developing, and unevaluated), location (fields), and geological formation. The projects listed below were acquired by the Company and consequently included in the Company’s pre-formation date carve-out financial statements presented in the registration statement:
1) | Golden Lane field (Hunton formation) – The Company acquired 90% of the working interest in the Hunton formation owned by Scintilla. Scintilla retained 10% of its working interest in the Hunton formation and all of its rights to other formations within the Golden Lane field. The Company has been advised by Scintilla that it believes these retained formations may contain large amounts of |

Anne Nguyen Parker, Branch Chief | October 11, 2011 | |
Securities and Exchange Commission | Page 10 |
hydrocarbons and represent substantial assets to Scintilla. It is anticipated the retained assets will be owned and operated by Scintilla and its affiliates for the foreseeable future. The Hunton formation is the only developed formation in this field. There are 236 Hunton formation wells in this field, in each of which we hold an interest. |
2) | Luther field (Hunton formation) – The Company acquired a 50% working interest in the Hunton formation from Scintilla. Scintilla retained a 40% working interest in the Hunton formation and all of its rights to other formations within the Luther field. There are 13 Hunton formation wells in this field, in each of which we hold an interest. |
In addition to the retained working interests in the Golden Lane and Luther fields described above, the following assets were retained by Scintilla and consequently excluded from the carve-out financial statements:
3) | Southern Dome field (Arbuckle formation) – Production in this field is from the Arbuckle formation, which is deeper than the Hunton formation. While this field is currently producing, Scintilla has advised us that it plans to expend considerable additional resources to demonstrate the viability of this area through the development of proved reserves. Scintilla and its operator, New Dominion, have advised us that they will devote significant staff time, engineering resources and field operation personnel to the development of this field. |
4) | Luther field (Cleveland formation) – Scintilla advises that production in this field is from the Cleveland formation, which is more shallow than the Hunton formation. Similar to the Southern Dome assets mentioned above, while this field is currently producing, Scintilla has advised that it will likely devote additional resources to developing this field. |
5) | Willizetta, Passage, PW Passage, and Paradise fields (Hunton formation) – These are older wells in the Hunton formation. However, they are located in fields that are outside of the geographic boundaries covered by the Luther and Golden Lane field agreements. In other words, they are located outside the area in which the Company’s operations will focus. There are 13 wells in this project. |
For the year ended December 31, 2010, Scintilla derived approximately 67% of its revenues from the working interests in projects #1 and #2 that were transferred to the Company, and the remaining 33% of its revenues from the working interests in projects #1 and #2 that were retained by Scintilla together with projects #3, #4 and #5. For the seven months ended July 31, 2011, Scintilla derived approximately 66% of its revenues from the transferred projects and the remaining 34% of its revenues from the retained projects. At July 31, 2011, approximately 62% of the net book value of Scintilla’s oil and natural gas properties consisted of amounts associated with the working interests in projects #1 and #2 that were transferred to the Company. Approximately 38% of the net
New Source Energy Corporation | ||
Anne Nguyen Parker, Branch Chief | October 11, 2011 | |
Securities and Exchange Commission | Page 11 |
book value of Scintilla’s oil and natural gas properties consisted of amounts associated with the working interests in projects #1 and #2 that were retained by Scintilla together with projects #3, #4 and #5.
Based on the foregoing facts, the Company concluded that substantially all of Scintilla’s assets were not transferred to the Company. Accordingly, it would not be informative to provide full historical financial statements of Scintilla and present the Acquired Assets only through pro forma adjustments. Rather, inclusion of the retained assets would confuse or perhaps mislead the reader of the financial statements.
The financial statements prepared on a “carve-out” basis reflect all of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses attributable to the working interests in the Golden Lane and Luther fields that were acquired by the Company, as required by SAB Topic 1B.1 and explained in Note 1 to the financial statements. The approach used to arrive at this result is discussed further below. All of the assets and liabilities associated with these working interests were transferred to the Company except for the debt, which was refinanced. The allocation of the debt is explained in Note 5 to the “carve-out” financial statements.
Most of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reflected in the financial statements are directly attributable to the working interests acquired. Additionally, certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that were common to the acquired and retained working interests have been included in the financial statements on an allocated basis. Items directly attributable include revenues, cost of production expenses, most elements of the full cost pool of oil and gas properties, accounts receivable and accounts payable in direct proportion to the working interest and net revenue interest of the properties acquired. Certain historic amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses were allocated to arrive at the amounts reported in the financial statements. Allocations of historic amounts were made for certain elements of the full cost pool of oil and gas properties, derivative contracts and settlements, debt and interest, and general and administrative expenses.
The Company believes the financial statements reflect all of the expenses that Scintilla incurred on behalf of the assets acquired. The amounts were determined based on direct proportion to the working interest acquired or allocated primarily in relative book value of assets, among other factors. We believe that appropriate methods of allocation were used, and we believe the allocation of costs is adequately disclosed in the financial statements. We also believe the agreements and costs paid to related party entities are also adequately disclosed and reflect the cost that would have been incurred if the agreements and costs were with an unaffiliated party.
