See accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements  5      ELRAY RESOURCES, INC. (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)  NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)  NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Elray Resources, Inc. (Elray or Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys annual report for the year ended December 31, 2009 on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2010.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 have been omitted.  NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN  Elray has recurring losses and has a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $1,302,000 as of March 31, 2010.  Elray's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  However, Elray has no current source of revenue. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern.  Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral interests, if found.  Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of mineral interests.  NOTE 3  RELATED PARTY LOANS   The Company received proceeds from a shareholder of $8,000 during the period. This advance bears no interest, is unsecured and is due on demand.  NOTE 4  COMMITMENTS  Company has executed a Letter of Intent with Compania Minera Monteverde SA to purchase 99% of the share capital of Monteverde comprising a 99% interest in Monteverdes Picacho gold property concession , code number 300869 located in the El Oro Province, Canton Atahualpa, Ecuador. Subject to completion of satisfactory due diligence and the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company must pay consideration of $800,000 on or before June 14, 2010, after a term extension was signed on March 15, 2010.   6   NOTE 5  CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL  The Company received $8,000 of contributed capital during the three months ended March 31, 2010.    ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION Forward-looking statements  This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" relating to the registrant which represent the registrant's current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning registrants operations, performance, financial condition and growth.  For this purpose, any statement contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, ability of registrant to continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the registrant's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Overview  Elray Resource, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2006. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Angkor Wat Minerals Ltd. was incorporated in Cambodia on June 26, 2006.  The Company is in the business of base metal and energy exploration and development and currently owns a 100% interest in Porphyry Creek, a 90 square kilometer gold and copper claim located in Cambodia and a Letter of Intent to acquire 99% of Minera Monteverde SA, comprising a 99% interest in the assets of Monteverdes Picacho gold property code 300869 located in the El Oro Province, Canton Atahualpa, Ecuador.  Plan of Operation  The Company has commenced a two year program to run from April 2010 to April 2012 with the aim of advancing the projects to a stage where they are ready for early resource definition drilling. Porphyry Creek to be progressed to early completion of initial exploration drilling of defined drill targets.  The Works Program is divided into two stages as follows:  Stage 1 · data compilation and assessment · surface and underground geological mapping · surface and underground geochemical sampling  7   · geophysics · definition of drill targets · Sinking of an exploration shaft  Stage 2 · exploration drilling (selective) · preliminary metallurgical test work · scoping studies (comprehensive)  Porphyry Creek project is being worked with geological mapping and surface geochemical sampling continuing to locate the hydrothermal system that is indicated from previous reconnaissance mapping. After the Stage 1 program is well advanced, plans are for 1,500 meters of diamond core and reverse circulation exploration drilling to follow the sinking of an exploration shaft.  With the Picacho concession, prospecting work being done during the due diligence process included geological recognition and sampling of the current sediment and litogeochemical sampling was conducted. Samples were collected and tagged and will be tested for gold by way of fire assay testing, with AA or final gravimetric testing. In addition, other elements will be analysed in series for 35 elements by induced plasma gathered (ICP-MS) to prove and know is a content of sulphide, hallo effects, standards of alteration and indicating elements.  Prospecting works to be done include air photographs to be examined to draft the outline of structures and to project the continuity of known mineralized zones. The present and past underground mining work has to be projected, examined and sampled (material of the walls from the vein) in order to have an idea of the zones of enrichment of gold. Samples will be taken every 3m along each of the cuttings where there are veins. The testing of these samples is for the gold through fire assay and other elements by ICP-MS.  Results of Operationsfor the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009.  Revenues  We did not generate any revenues during the reporting periods.  Expenses  During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, general and administrative expenses were $15,000 and $17,000 and exploration expenses were $6,000 and $21,000 respectively.  Net Loss  We incurred net losses from operations of $28,000 and $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.  8    Liquidity and Capital Resources  Since its inception, the Company has financed its cash requirements from the sale of common stock and shareholder loans. Uses of funds have included activities to establish our business, professional fees, exploration expenses and other general and administrative expenses.  Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Material Events and Uncertainties  Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable exploration stage companies.  There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.  ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
