ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION



Forward-Looking Information



This Form 10-QSB quarterly report of Saratoga Resources, Inc. (the Company) for the six months ended June 30, 2006, contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby.  To the extent that there are statements that are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties.  In any forward-looking statement, where the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will be achieved or accomplished.



The following are factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, and include, but are not limited to: general economic, financial and business conditions; the Companys ability to minimize expenses; the Companys current dependency on its sole executive officer to continue funding the Companys operations and, to the extent he should ever become unwilling to do so, the Companys ability to obtain additional necessary financing from outside investors and/or bank and mezzanine lenders; and the ability of the Company to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating losses and position it to achieve positive cash flow.



Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof.  The Company believes the information contained in this Form 10-QSB to be accurate as of the date hereof.  Changes may occur after that date, and the Company will not update that information except as required by law in the normal course of its public disclosure practices.



Additionally, the following discussion regarding the Companys financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-QSB, as well as the financial statements in Item 7 of Part II of the Companys Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Current Year Operations and Developments



During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company continued to operate its oil interest in the Red Hawk Mississippian field.  The Company continues its efforts to further develop its oil interest including possible business acquisitions both within and outside of the oil and gas industry.  Management continued to undertake efforts to minimize costs during the period.



A work-over of the Adcock Farms No. 1 well was necessary in the first quarter of 2005 due to a down-hole equipment failure in February 2005. This resulted in an interruption in production and an increase in operating overhead. The equipment was repaired and production returned to its previous levels with no indication of decline. In May 2005, production again declined indicating that additional work would be needed as the production tubing was not holding pressure. The work-over was completed and the well was back in production in January 2006.  The Company is currently evaluating its approximately 27 square miles of 3D seismic data and has engaged a third party consultant to evaluate the oil reserves and the development potential of the geologic structure in both the Mississippian and Fussellman formations. The Company is also increasing its efforts to acquire oil and gas assets through acquisitions and drilling opportunities.  Management believes that previous production levels can be achieved or surpassed, however, management can give no assurances that such production levels will occur.



In order to fund overhead during the period ended June 30, 2006, the Companys principal shareholder and sole officer contributed an additional $25,000 to the Company and converted $25,000 of existing loans in exchange for an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock.



In order to enhance the Companys efforts to evaluate and pursue drilling and acquisition opportunities, during June 2006, the Company appointed an additional independent director and appointed, as a consultant, an advisory director.  In connection with the appointment of the new director and advisory director, the Company issued an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock as compensation for the services of the Companys 2 independent directors and its advisory director.



In July 2006, the Company, its subsidiary Lobo Energy, Inc. and its principal shareholder settled certain claims against a21, Inc.  Pursuant to the settlement, the Company and Lobo Energy received an aggregate of 34,640 shares of common stock of a21, Inc.  In connection with the settlement, the Company and Lobo Energy paid their respective portion of the costs associated with the settlement.



The financial information included in the following discussion has been rounded to thousands.



Results of Operations



Revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 the Company incurred a net gain of $1,000 from participation in the Adcock Farms #1 well.  The Company had a net loss of $1,000 from participation in the well during the 2005 period.  The positive change in results attributable to the participation agreement was caused by oil revenues exceeding the cost of down-hole repairs. The repairs were completed and the well was back into production and producing revenue beginning in January 2006.



General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expense increased from $31,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $55,000 during the same period in 2006.  The increase in general and administrative expense was attributable to the issuance of an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock as compensation for the services of the Companys 2 independent directors and its advisory director. These services were valued at $33,000.



Interest Expense.  Interest expense on the loans from shareholder increased from $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $22,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in interest expense was attributable to the continuing accrual of interest on advances from the Companys principal shareholder, which was partially offset by conversion of $25,000 of advances to equity during the period.



Unrealized Holding Gains.  At June 30, 2006, the Company had $68,000 of securities holdings classified as available-for-sale securities.

Return to Table of Contents



The Company had unrealized gains on its available-for-sale securities of $1,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Those unrealized gains are included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).



Financial Condition



Liquidity and Capital Resources.



The Company had a cash balance of $7,000 and a working capital deficit of $365,000 at June 30, 2006 as compared to a cash balance of $2,000 and a working capital deficit of $373,000 at December 31, 2005.  Included in current assets and the calculation of working capital are available for sale securities in the amount of $68,000 at June 30, 2006 and $67,000 at December 31, 2005.



The change in cash and working capital balances was attributable to unrealized gains on available for sale securities and the receipt of $25,000 in cash and the reduction of $25,000 in debt owed to our majority shareholder for the purchase of 4,000,000 shares of our unregistered common stock, partially offset by the operating loss during the quarter.



The Company, at and for the period ended June 30, 2006, had limited capital resources and limited operating revenues to support its overhead.  The Company is, and was, dependent upon its principal shareholder to provide financing to support operations and ongoing cost control measures to minimize negative cash flow.  Unless that shareholder continues to provide financing the Company will be required to substantially limit its activities and may be unable to sustain its operations.



Long-Term Debt



At June 30, 2006, the Company had long-term debt of $383,000 owed to the Companys principal shareholder as compared to $386,000 at December 31, 2005. Loans from the Companys principal shareholder bear interest at 12.5% and are to be repaid from proceeds from operations as they become available.  The change in long-term debt was attributable to the conversion of $25,000 of loans to equity offset by additional interest accrued on the loans of $22,000.



Capital Expenditures and Commitments



During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company made no capital expenditures and, at June 30, 2006, the Company had no capital commitment obligations.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third party obligations at June 30, 2006.



Inflation



The Company believes that inflation has not had a significant impact on its operations since inception.
