ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Cochran County Properties Agreement
On January 15, 2009, Doral Energy Corp. (the Company) entered into a letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with Miltex Oil Company (Miltex) to acquire three oil and gas leases located in Cochran County, Texas (the Cochran County Properties).
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Miltex an aggregate of $2,200,000 for the Cochran County Properties. A deposit of $100,000 is to be paid to Miltex by January 23, 2009, with the remaining $2,100,000 due on or before February 27, 2009 (the Closing Date). The Company may extend the Closing Date to March 31, 2009 by paying Miltex an additional $100,000 by February 23, 2009, increasing the total purchase price to $2,300,000.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
Macquarie Bank Limited Credit Agreement
On January 16, 2009, the forbearance period during which Macquarie Bank Limited (Macquarie) agreed not to exercise its rights under the terms of Doral Energy Corp.s (the Companys) credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), expired. Macquarie had previously agreed to forbear declaring an event of default under the Credit Agreement for the Companys failure to meet the minimum quarterly net operating cash flow and minimum quarterly sales volume requirements for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2008 until January 16, 2009. Macquarie has not yet declared the Company to be in default of the Credit Agreement and has not provided the Company with any indications that it intends to do so at this time. However, there is no assurance that Macquarie will not exercise its right to do so in the future.
Macquarie had also previously agreed to extend to January 16, 2009 the date by which Macquarie and the Company were to have agreed on a development plan for the Companys properties in Eddy County, New Mexico (the Eddy County Properties). The Company had prepared and submitted to Macquarie a formal plan for development of the Eddy County Properties that would have started with 21 wells being drilled over 6 months, involving an estimated capital expenditure of $16 million. However, due to the precipitous drop in the price of oil since the summer of 2008, the Companys management has determined that pursuing the development program would not be a prudent investment at this time. The Companys management intends to delay the development program until such time as commodities prices and the costs of drilling are more favorable. As a result of the Companys decision not to pursue a development plan for the Eddy County Properties at this time, the due date for the amounts loaned to the Company under the Credit Agreement is now July 30, 2009. This date can be extended at Macquaries option, however there is no assurance that any extensions will be granted.
