(a development stage entity) Notes to Financial Statements March 31, 2010 (unaudited)  Note 1: Basis of Presentation  Interim Period - The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Ring Energy, Inc. (the Company) were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (Management) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K report for the transition period from October 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.  These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  Development Stage Entity  The Company is considered a development stage entity because the principal operations are minimal and have not produced any significant revenue. The $11,048 of revenue recognized since the commencement of oil production has not been greater than the cost of production and the associated amortization, and has resulted in a net loss from oil and gas operations of $124. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses exceeded the results of oil and gas operations by $19,694 and cash used for operating activities was $32,490. At March 31, 2010 the Companys cash and cash equivalents are $961,370 and its total liabilities are $5,944.  Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  Organization - The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 30, 2004 and currently has a 25% working interest (183⁄4% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease comprising 440 total acres located in Howard County, Texas. The Company has completed one well on the Prospect that commenced production during the three months ended December 31, 2009.  Use of Estimates  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Fair Value Accounting  The carrying value of certain of the Companys financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, deposits, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company utilized Level 1 inputs to value the aforementioned assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates.  Cash and Cash Equivalents  The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value approximates the fair value of these financial instruments. All cash deposits are held in one financial institution in amounts over $250,000 and are not federally insured.  Depreciation  The Company maintains office furniture that is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over a seven year period. Accumulated depreciation of $1,698 and $1,398 was recorded at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  Oil and Gas Properties  The Company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties, including equipping of productive wells, are capitalized and are subject to amortization and/or periodic impairment. The unit-of-production method is utilized to amortize the Companys unimpaired cost of its oil and gas properties.  Net Loss per Common Share - The computation of net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. No potentially dilutive securities or derivative instruments are outstanding.  7   Income Taxes  The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB ASC 740-10-65-1 and uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.  At December 31, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $648,350 that expires if unused from 2027 through 2029. The Company has a deferred tax asset in the amount of approximately $243,170. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of approximately the same amount. The Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has no tax position at March 31, 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company did not recognize any accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or operating expenses as a result of penalties, during the periods presented.  Note 3: Subsequent Events  The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2010 through May 12, 2010, the date the Company issued these financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events.  8   Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  Forward-Looking Statements  This Form 10-Q report for Ring Energy, Inc. (the Company) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Companys Liquidity and Capital Resources and Results of Operations provided below. The statements made as part of this discussion that are not historical facts are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements."  Liquidity and Capital Resources  At March 31, 2010, the Company had total assets of $998,186 and current liabilities of $5,944. The Companys current assets are comprised of $961,370 in cash and cash equivalents, which represent 99% of our total current assets and 96% of our total assets. Since our year end of December 31, 2009, our total assets have decreased by $34,408 and our total liabilities have decreased by $15,063.  As further discussed below, during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 our net oil and gas operations resulted in $1,910 of income; however, our general and administrative expenses resulted in a net loss from operations in the amount of $19,694. Consequently, our oil and gas operations have not provided sufficient capital for us to maintain a positive cash flow. We continue to hold a 25% working interest (183⁄4% net revenue interest) in a 440 acre oil and gas prospect located in Howard County, Texas. We acquired this prospect during calendar year 2009 and commenced drilling a well shortly thereafter. Upon completion of the well in the Pennsylvania Reef formation at approximately 7,800 feet, we determined that the well would not be commercial and therefore recompleted the well in the Lower Spraberry formation at approximately 6,400 feet.  Even though the well is providing revenue, we determined that the production therefrom was not sufficient to recover our costs and therefore impaired our oil and gas prospect in the amount of $241,860 during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and again impaired this prospect an additional $28,402 during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. We did not impair this prospect during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. We are evaluating our current and future production from this well in order to determine if additional drilling is warranted on this prospect.  We believe that we have sufficient liquid capital to acquire an interest in one or more additional leasehold interests and to drill one or more additional wells in the future. At the present time we have evaluated other prospects but have not arrived at a decision regarding their acquisition or potential acquisition. We also believe that our capital resources are sufficient to sustain our operations into the future. If warranted, we may attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock or we may utilize shares of our common stock to acquire an interest in a leasehold prospect. We are at the present time not considering either of these alternatives and no assurance can be given that we would be successful if we attempted such alternatives.  Results of Operations  During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the results of our oil and gas operations resulted in revenue of $5,197 and income of $1,910, compared with no such revenue or income during the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Our revenue was reduced by $1,824 in production costs and $1,463 in amortization based on the units-of-production method. We have determined that the revenue from this well will decline in the future and that a classification of the potential volume of recoverable oil should be considered as not being economically producible. Consequently, we have not engaged a third party to prepare a reserve report nor have we undertaken formation tests that would demonstrate that the Well is economically producible under existing economic and operating conditions.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, our general and administrative expenses were $21,604 compared $14,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and represented an increase of $7,428 or 52%. This increase came primarily from the increase in management and director fees ($3,750) and accounting and legal fees ($2,979). During the quarter ended March 31, 2009 we did not pay any director fees, but we intend to do so in the future. During the past year we changed our year end for accounting and tax purposes from September to December and thus incurred the costs of an audit (September 2009 and December 2009) and legal fees in relation thereto. We anticipate that our accounting and legal fees will decrease in subsequent quarters from those we experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  Our dividend and interest income decreased from $3,994 to $349 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. This decrease resulted from placing temporary investments in available-for-sale-securities into cash and cash equivalent instruments. We made this decision based on our desire to have ready capital available for oil and gas prospect acquisitions and for drilling purposes. We are evaluating our position in this regard and may in the future place portions of our cash and cash equivalents into short-term investments that will provide a higher yield. No assurance of this can be given that we will be successful in this effort and we are largely dependent on market conditions beyond our control in the yield that our investments may achieve. These short-term investments would only be made for the purpose of obtaining a favorable rate of return on our cash until such time as an appropriate acquisition of an oil and gas prospect is located.  9   Off-balance sheet arrangements:  The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and it is not anticipated that the Company will enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements.  Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.  Not required by smaller reporting company.  Item 4T - Controls and Procedures.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Our principal executive and financial officer, Robert Steve Owens, conduced an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of whether our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were (1) effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (2) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated, organized and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriated, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Owens concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting  There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during our most recent quarterly period.
