ITEM 4.02 NON-RELIANCE ON PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR A RELATED
AUDIT REPORT OR COMPLETED INTERIM REVIEW.
On March 21, 2011, management and the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors of Amerigo Energy, Inc. (the "Company") determined, in consultation
with the Company's full Board of Directors, that the Company's audited
financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2009 contain a valuation error and, therefore, should no longer be
relied upon.
Management has determined, as well as hindsight lends to confirm, that
the assets purchased during 2008 should have been impaired and/or recorded at a
lesser amount. Previously, the assets were recorded in 2008 and then
subsequently written down in 2009 and 2010. The 2009 financials had originally
taken an impairment charge of $11,458,542, whereas the majority of this relates
to assets purchased in 2008, thus the 2008 values at year end have now been
adjusted to reflect this. We anticipate filing the restated 2009 numbers with
our 2010 Annual Report on April 15, 2011. We anticipate filing amended 2009
annual reports within 30 days of filing our 2010 annual report.
Management and certifying officers carefully considered the effect of the
material error that was identified and determined that it would be beneficial
to adjust and restate the valuation of assets that were recorded in 2008.
The Company's management and Audit Committee have discussed this matter
with Seale and Beers, LLC, the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

- Form 8-K Filed March 18, 2011
- Form 8-K/A Filed March 29, 2011
- Form 8-K Filed March 29, 2011
Dear Mr. Horowitz and Ms. Li:
On behalf of registrant, Amerigo Energy, Inc., we hereby respond to your
comment letter of April 1, 2011 in the same sequence in which your comments are
noted.
Item 4.01 Form 8-K/A Filed March 29, 2011
1. Please obtain and file a letter from your former independent accountant
stating whether they agree with your Item 304 disclosures, or to the
extent to which the accountant does not agree. Refer to Item 304(a)(3) of
Regulation S-K.
a. We have attempted to contact our previous auditor, Larry
O'Donnell, to obtain and file a letter stating whether he agrees
with our disclosures but we have not been successful in doing so.
Item 4.02 Form 8-K Filed March 29, 2011
2. You disclose that you determined it is necessary to restate your
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to
correct a valuation error in recording certain assets acquired in 2008.
Please tell us why you do not believe that it is necessary to restate
your financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008
along with your 2009 and 2010 quarterly financial statements.
a. We plan on filing our 2010 10-K with restated 2009 numbers by
April 15, 2011. Pursuant to our conversation with Ms. Li on April
4, 2011 we will be filing our amended 2009 10-K 30 days after our
2010 10-K.
b. We have updated our filing to include this information.
3. We note that you intend to file your restated financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 with your 2010 annual report.
Please amend your filing to disclose the date you intend to file the
restated financial statements.
a. We plan on filing our 2010 annual report which will include our
restated 2009 numbers by April 15, 2011. We have amended our
filing to include this information.
4. Please tell us how your certifying officers have considered the effect of
the material error you have identified on the adequacy of your disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as
of the end of the periods you have covered by the financial statements
that you intend to restate and as of the end of your current fiscal year.
a. Management and certifying officers carefully considered the
effect of the material error that was identified and determined
that it would be beneficial to adjust and restate the valuation
of assets that were recorded in 2008.
5. We note you filed an Item 4.02 Form 8-K on March 29, 2011 for an event
which occurred on March 21, 2011. The filing requirements for item 4.02
are within four business days after the occurrence of a triggering event.
Please ensure that future filings comply with this filing requirement.
Refer to the guidance at release 33-8400, which may be found at
http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8400.htm.
a. We have updated our procedures to ensure that all of our filings
follow the requirements laid out by the SEC.
In addition, the Company acknowledges that:
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
the filing; staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to
the filing; and the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
