PETRO
RESOURCES CORPORATION
Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note
1—Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Petro Resources
Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Petro Resource’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the
SEC on March 31, 2009. 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 as
reported in the 2008 annual report on Form 10-K have been omitted.
Certain
prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period
presentation.
Note
2 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value measurements, for all financial instruments. SFAS 157 establishes a
three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The
valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of
an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined
as follows:
●
|
Level
1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or
significant value drivers are observable

Level
3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are
unobservable
|
The
following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure financial
instruments at fair value.
Derivative
Instruments
At March
31, 2009 we had commodity derivative financial instruments in place that do not
qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. Therefore, the changes in fair
value subsequent to the initial measurement are recorded in income. Although our
derivative instruments are valued using public indexes, the instruments
themselves are traded with third-party counterparties and are not openly traded
on an exchange. As such, our derivative liabilities have been classified as
Level 2.
The
follow table provides a summary of the fair value of our derivative liabilities
measured on a recurring basis under SFAS 157:

entered into commodity derivative financial instruments intended to hedge our
exposure to market fluctuations of oil prices. As of March 31, 2009, we had
commodity swaps for the following oil volumes:

swaps $4,718,673.
On June
5, 2008, the Company purchased a floor at $110 per barrel for 100 bbls per day
for the calendar year 2009 for a price of $363,175. As of March 31,
2009 the fair value of the floor was $1,514,305.
On
October 6, 2008, the Company purchased a floor at $7.75 per MCF for 20,000 MCF
per month for the calendar year 2009 for a price of $200,400. As
of March 31, 2009 the fair value of the floor was
$552,433.
During
quarter ended March 31, 2009, we incurred a gain of $556,315 related to
derivative contracts. Included in this gain was $1,054,732 of realized gains
related to settled contracts, and $498,417 of unrealized losses related to
unsettled contracts. Unrealized gain and losses are based on the changes in
the fair value of derivative instruments covering positions beyond March 31,
2009.
Note
4 – Minority Interest
In
connection with the Williston Basin acquisition, we entered into equity
participation agreements with the lenders pursuant to which we agreed to pay to
the lenders an aggregate of 12.5% of all distributions paid to the owners of PRC
Williston, which at this time is 100% owned by Petro Resources. The equity
participation agreements were valued at $3,401,655 and accounted for as a
minority interest in PRC Williston.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Industry
terms used in this report are defined in the Glossary of Oil and Natural Gas
Terms located at the end of this Item
In this
report we make, and from time to time we otherwise make, written and oral
statements regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future
performance, statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of
market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements containing the words or
phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is
anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar
expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents,
reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases,
written or oral presentations made by our officers or other representatives to
analysts, stockholders, investors, news organizations and others, and
discussions with management and other of our representatives. For such
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.
Our
future results, including results related to forward-looking statements, involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results
reflected in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is
made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are
sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications and other information from
operators, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to
revision. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to
update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect
events or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or
(ii) the important factors that could cause our future results to differ
materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by
us, or which are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking
statement.
There are
several important factors that could cause our future results to differ
materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by
us, or results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking
statement. Some of these important factors, but not necessarily all important
factors, are included in our filings with the SEC, including the risk factors
set forth of our annual report on Form 10-K for our 2008 fiscal year filed with
the SEC on March 31, 2009.
General
Petro
Resources Corporation is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the
acquisition, drilling and production of oil and natural gas properties and
prospects within the United States. Our business strategy is designed to create
maximum shareholder value by leveraging the knowledge, expertise and experience
of our management team along with that of our operating partners.
We have
been successful in creating and expanding a balanced portfolio consisting of
producing properties and prospects that are geologically and geographically
diverse, including producing properties, secondary enhanced oil recovery
projects, and exploration prospects. This diversity provides projects with
varied payout periods, helping us to remain competitive in volatile markets. We
target low to medium risk projects that have the potential for multiple
producing horizons, and offer repeatable success allowing for meaningful
production and reserve growth. Our acquisition and exploration pursuits of oil
and natural gas properties are principally located in Texas, Louisiana, North
Dakota, New Mexico and Kentucky. We currently own interests in approximately
286,282 gross (50,611 net) leasehold acres, of which 261,147 gross (43,281 net)
acres are classified as undeveloped acreage.
In July
2005, we acquired our initial interest in drilling prospects and commenced
drilling activities in November 2005. In December 2005, we commenced
production operations from our first oil and gas prospects and received our
first revenues from oil and gas production in February 2006. In the
first quarter of 2007, we acquired oil and gas producing assets in the Williston
Basin area of North Dakota. In the third quarter of 2007, we increased our oil
and gas producing assets with the addition of acreage in the Permian Basin
located in West Texas. Subsequently, in 2008, we participated in new prospects
located in southwest Louisiana as well as east Texas. As of March
30, 2009, we held interests in approximately 238 producing wells in Texas,
Louisiana and North Dakota. Our current drilling inventory includes
prospects located in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Dakota and
Kentucky.
We
recognize the value of hedging oil and gas production through both derivative
and physical contracts to help stabilize cash flow. During the second and third
quarters of 2008, we entered into three separate hedging agreements. In June
2008, we purchased put options for crude oil at a price of $110 per bbl for 100
bbls per day of production during 2009. The cost of these crude oil put options
was $363,175. We also entered into swap agreements in September covering 207,400
barrels of crude oil at a price of $105 per bbl for the period of October 2008
to December 2011. We incurred no cost in entering these swap agreements. In
addition to crude oil hedges, we also hedged natural gas production in October
2008, whereby we purchased natural gas put options at a strike price of $7.75
per mcf for 658 mcf per day (240,000 total mcf) of production during 2009. The
cost of these natural gas put options was $200,400.
As of
December 31, 2008, our total proved reserves were 3,118 mboe net of production,
a gain of 401 mboe from year end 2007 of 2,716 mboe net of production. This gain
in proved reserves was the result of gains of 932 mboe from prospect areas in
Texas and Louisiana offset by a reduction in North Dakota proved reserves of 531
mboe. The decrease of reserves in North Dakota was precipitated by a lower year
end price causing a decrease to the estimated life of the reserves. The total
2008 year end proved reserves is comprised of 2,409 mbbls of crude oil and NGLs
and 709 mboe of natural gas.

Results
of Operations
For
the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March
31, 2008
The
Company’s net production for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 included 33,369
barrels of oil, 121,874 mcf of natural gas, and 12,100 barrels of natural gas
liquids for a barrel-equivalent total of 65,781 boe compared to 30,179 barrels
of oil, 42,275 mcf of natural gas, and 4,035 barrels of natural gas liquids for
a barrel-equivalent total of 41,260 boe for the quarter ended March 31,
2008.
For the
quarter ended March 31, 2009, the average daily production was approximately 730
boe per day compared to average daily production of 461 boe per day for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008.
The
Company realized prices for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $33.84 per
barrel of oil, $3.24 per mcf of natural gas, and $24.25 per barrel of natural
gas liquids compared to $85.93 per barrel of oil, $5.59 per mcf of natural gas,
and $48.06 per barrel of natural gas liquids for the comparable prior year
period.
Revenue
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 consisted $1,817,036 of oil and gas sales
compared to oil and gas sales of $3,058,001 for the quarter ended March 31,
2008. The decrease in revenue from oil and gas sales was due primarily to
significantly lower commodity prices.
Lease
operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $1,244,562
compared to lease operating expenses of $1,222,398 for the prior year comparable
period. While lease operating expenses have not come off as quickly as the drop
in commodity prices in the initial months of 2009, the industry has begun to see
a retreat in these costs reflecting the current market conditions.
Exploration
costs for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were $94,475 compared to $572,510 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Exploration costs represent our drilling costs
associated with dry holes and the carrying costs of properties. The decrease in
exploration costs represents our successful drilling efforts in the Cinco Terry
Prospect in Crockett County, Texas as well as the Surprise Prospect in
Nacogdoches County, Texas.
We
incurred no expenses related to the impairment of oil and gas properties in the
quarters ended March 31, 2009 or 2008. Impairment expenses represent the
write-down of previously capitalized expenses for productive wells. We take an
impairment charge for a productive well when there is an indication that we may
not receive production payments equal to the net capitalized costs. No wells
needed to be written down in either quarter.
Our
expenses for depreciation, depletion, and accretion for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 totaled $1,307,527 compared to $525,172 for the same period in the
prior year. This was due to our increased production as a result of the Cinco
Terry Field drilling program, the Surprise prospect wells coming online as well
as increased depletion rates.
General
and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled
$746,613 compared to general and administrative expenses of $1,293,443 for the
prior year period. General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended
March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 included expenses of $192,775 and $594,365,
respectively, for outstanding common stock shares and common stock options
granted under our Stock Incentive Plan. Without giving effect to expenses for
common shares and stock options, our general and administrative expenses for the
quarters ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were $553,838 and $699,078,
respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses (other than
expenses for options and common shares) between reporting periods was due to the
decrease in legal and professional services and a decrease in employee costs
because at this time, no bonuses have been paid this year.
We
incurred a net loss from operations of $1,476,141 for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 compared to a loss from operations of $455,522 during the same period
in the prior year. The increase in net loss occurred due to the
decline in commodity prices leading to reduced revenue in addition to slowly
retreating lease operating expenses.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, interest expense totaled $570,677, compared to
$514,961 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase in
interest expense was principally due to decreased capitalization of
interest.
Beginning
in March 2007, we entered into commodity derivative financial instruments for
purposes of hedging our exposure to market fluctuations of oil
prices. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we incurred a gain
on derivative contracts of $556,315 compared to a loss of $685,594 for the
comparable period in 2008. Our gain on derivative contracts include both
$1,054,732 in gains on the actual settlement of certain derivative financial
instruments during quarter ended March 31, 2009 and the unrealized loss of
$498,417 based on the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments
covering positions beyond March 31, 2009.
We
incurred a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1,371,283 ($.04 per
share) during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of
$1,634,205 ($.04 per share) to common shareholders for the same period in
2008. The decrease in net loss was primarily the result of
an gain on derivative contracts.
Plan of
Operations
Our plan
of operations for the next twelve months is to continue further exploration and
development of oil and natural gas prospects that we currently own;
concentrating on those with the lowest development and lifting costs. Consistent
with that is our gradual structuring and staffing of our company toward becoming
an operator of select properties in Texas and Louisiana. By becoming an
operator, we will have more control over drilling and developmental decisions
and will broaden the spectrum of exploration prospects we can consider for
participation. As an operator we should reduce overall finding costs
and in the future we may start to generate exploration prospects.
The
continued development of our properties and prospects and the pursuit of fresh
opportunities require that we maintain access to adequate levels of
capital. We will strive for an optimal balance between our
property portfolio and our capital structuring that will allow for growth and to
the maximum benefit of our shareholders. The decisions around
the balancing of capital needs and property holdings will be a challenge to us
as well as all companies in the entire energy industry during this time of
lowered commodity prices and an increasing complex global economic
picture. As a function of balancing properties and capital, we may
decide to monetize certain properties to reduce debt or to allow us to acquire
interest in new prospects or producing properties that may be better suited to
the current economic and energy industry environment.
The
business of oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration and development is
capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas
company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital.
Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to raise the additional
capital required to finance the exploration and development of our current oil
and natural gas prospects and the acquisition of additional
properties. As explained under “Financial Condition and Liquidity”
below, based on our present working capital, available borrowings under the
credit facility and current rate of cash flow from operations, we believe we
have available to us sufficient working capital to fund our operations and
expected commitments for exploration and development through, at least, December
31, 2009. However, in the event we receive calls for capital greater
than, or generate cash flow from operations less than, we expect, we may require
additional working capital to fund our operations and expected commitments for
exploration and development prior to December 31, 2009. We will seek
additional working capital through the sale of our securities and we will
endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project
financing. However, as described further below, under the terms of
our existing credit facilities, we are prohibited from incurring any additional
debt from third parties. Our ability to obtain additional working
capital through new bank lines of credit and project financing may be subject to
the repayment of outstanding sums drawn from the $65.0 million credit
facilities.
We intend
to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform
various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal,
environmental, investor relations, audit and tax services. We believe
that by limiting our management and employee costs, we may be able to better
control total costs and retain flexibility in terms of project
management.
Financial
Condition and Liquidity
As of the
date of this report, we estimate our capital budget for fiscal 2009 to be
approximately $7.3 million, including:
|
·
|
Up
to $3.4 million to be deployed for drilling in Cinco Terry.
|
|
·
|
Up
to $1.2 million towards operations in the Surprise Prospect.
|
|
·
|
Up
to $1.5 million to be used in connection with our interest in the East
Chalkley Prospect and Leblanc Prospect.
|
|
·
|
Up
to $495,000 to maintain secondary recovery efforts in North
Dakota.
|
|
·
|
Approximately
$700,000 to be used in connection with other prospect
areas.
|
As of
March 31, 2009, we had total assets of $59,800,799 and working capital of
$3,450,745. In addition, we have $65.0 million in credit facilities,
of which $21.5 million is outstanding as of March 31, 2009 and $5.5 million is
available for additional borrowing for purposes of financing our commitments
towards the drilling and development of our oil and gas
properties. Based on our present working capital, available
borrowings under the credit facility and current rate of cash flow from
operations, we believe we have available to us sufficient working capital to
fund our operations and expected commitments for exploration and development
through, at least, December 31, 2009. However, in the event we
receive calls for capital greater than, or generate cash flow from operations
less than, we expect, we may require additional working capital to fund our
operations and expected commitments for exploration and development prior to
December 31, 2009.
We may
seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities
and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor
to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project
financing. However, other than our existing credit facilities, we
have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our
receipt of additional working capital and we have no history of generating
significant cash from oil and gas operations. Further, as described
further below, under the terms of our existing credit facilities, we
are prohibited from incurring any additional debt from third
parties. Our ability to obtain additional working capital through
bank lines of credit and project financing may be subject to the repayment of
our credit facilities. Consequently, there can be no assurance we
will be able to obtain continued access to capital as and when needed or, if so,
that the terms of any available financing will be subject to commercially
reasonable terms. If we are unable to access additional capital in
significant amounts as needed, we may not be able to develop our current
prospects and properties, may have to forfeit our interest in certain prospects
and may not otherwise be able to develop our business. In such an event, our
stock price may be materially adversely affected.
CIT
Credit Facility
On
September 9, 2008 and amended on March 19, 2009, we entered into a $50.0 million
Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders named in the
agreement and CIT Capital USA Inc., as administrative agent for the lenders, and
a $15.0 million Second Lien Term Loan Agreement (the "Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement") with certain lenders named in the agreement and CIT Capital USA
Inc., as administrative agent for the lenders. All term loans available under
the Second Lien Term Loan facility were advanced to us on September 9, 2008 and
were used to retire our previously existing credit facility arranged by
Petrobridge Investment Management, LLC.
The
Credit Agreement provides for a $50.0 million first lien revolving credit
facility, with an initial borrowing base availability of $17.0 million. The
first lien facility may be used for loans and, subject to a $500,000 sublimit,
letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be used to provide
working capital for exploration and production purposes, to refinance existing
debt, and for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the Credit
Agreement is September 9, 2011.
Borrowings
under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either a fluctuating
base rate or a rate equal to LIBOR plus, in each case, a margin determined based
on our utilization of the borrowing base. The Credit Agreement also requires us
to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (A) a ratio of
EBITDAX to Interest Expense (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of
not less than 2.5:1.0; (B) a ratio of Net Debt (as such term is defined in the
Credit Agreement) to EBITDAX of not more than (y) 4.5:1.0 for the fiscal
quarters ending December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September
30, 2009, and (z) 3.5:1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter; and (C) a
ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not
less than 1.0:1.0. We are also required to enter into certain swap agreements
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The
Second Lien Term Loan Agreement provides for a $15 million second lien term loan
facility. As noted above, all term loans available under the second lien term
loan facility were advanced to us on September 9, 2008 and were also used to
retire our previously existing credit facility arranged by Petrobridge
Investment Management, LLC. The maturity date of the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement is September 9, 2012. Under certain circumstances, we are permitted to
repay the term loans prior to the maturity date; however, any payments made on
or prior to September 9, 2009 are subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 2% of
the amount prepaid, and any payments made after September 9, 2009 but on or
before September 9, 2010 are subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 1% of the
amount prepaid.
Borrowings
under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at our option, at
either a fluctuating base rate plus 6.50% per annum or a rate equal to LIBOR
plus 7.50% per annum. The Second Lien Term Loan Agreement also requires us to
satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (1) a ratio of Total
Reserve Value to Debt (as each term is defined in the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement) of not less than 1.75:1.0; and (2) a ratio of Net Debt to EBITDAX (as
each term is defined in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) of not more than
(a) 4.5:1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009,
June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, and (b) 4.0:1.0 for each fiscal quarter
ending thereafter.
If an
event of default occurs and is continuing under either the Credit Agreement or
the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the lenders may increase the interest rate
then in effect by an additional 2% per annum. The Credit Agreement and the
Second Lien Term Loan Agreement contain covenants that, among others things,
restrict our ability to, with certain exceptions: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii)
grant liens; (iii) acquire other companies or assets; (iv) dispose of all or
substantially all of our assets or enter into mergers, consolidations or similar
transactions; (v) make restricted payments; (vi) enter into transactions with
affiliates; and (vii) make capital expenditures.
PRC
Williston LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, has guaranteed the performance of
all of our obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement and related agreements pursuant to a Guaranty and Collateral Agreement
and a Second Lien Guaranty and Collateral Agreement each dated as of September
9, 2008. Subject to certain permitted liens, our obligations have been secured
by the grant of a first priority lien on no less than 80% of the value of our
and PRC Williston's existing and to-be-acquired oil and gas properties and the
grant of a first priority security interest in related personal property of ours
and PRC Williston. We also granted a first priority security interest in our
ownership interest in PRC Williston, subject only to certain permitted
liens.
The
Credit Agreement was amended on March 19, 2009 because we were unable to comply
with the interest and debt coverage covenants under the terms of the original
Credit Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan Agreement for the fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the amendments, the administrative agent
and the lenders have agreed to waive these defaults. In connection with the
semi-annual review of our borrowing base, lower commodity prices have resulted
in our borrowing base for the Credit Agreement being reduced from $17.0 million
to $12.0 million. The terms of the Credit Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement as amended are as follows.
Under the
Credit Agreement, the Company must have (A) a ratio of EBITDAX to Interest
Expense (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than
2.0:1.0 for the first and second fiscal quarters of 2009, 2.25:1.0 for the third
and fourth fiscal quarters of 2009, and 2.5:1.0 for each fiscal quarter
thereafter; (B) a ratio of Net Debt (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement) to EBITDAX of not more than 6.5:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2009,
6.0:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2010, and 5.0:1 for each fiscal quarter
thereafter; (C) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current
liabilities of not less than 1.0:1.0 for each fiscal quarter; and (D) a ratio of
First Lien debt to EBITDAX of not more than 2.75:1.0 for each fiscal quarter.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either a
fluctuating base rate or a rate equal to LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 2.50%)
plus, in each case, a margin determined based on our utilization of the
borrowing base. The amendment includes an increase in the margin of 50 basis
points.
Under the
Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Company must have (A) a ratio of Total
Reserve Value to Debt (as each term is defined in the Second Lien Term Loan
Agreement) of not less than 1.75:1.0; and (B) a ratio of Net Debt to EBITDAX (as
each term is defined in the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement) of not more than
6.5:1.0 for the fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2010 and 5.5:1 for the fiscal
quarters of 2011 each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. Borrowings under the
Second Lien Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at our option, at either a
fluctuating base rate plus 6.50% per annum or a rate equal to LIBOR (with a
LIBOR floor of 2.50%) plus 7.50% per annum.
As of
March 31, 2009, we have drawn $21.5 million, of which $15.0 million was drawn on
the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement and $6.5 million was drawn on the Credit
Agreement. Subject to the above-described conditions, we are permitted to use
the remaining available funds under the Credit Agreement to finance our capital
program and fund general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2009,
$5.5 million is available for additional borrowing under the credit
facilities.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Glossary
of Oil and Natural Gas Terms
The
following is a description of the meanings of some of the oil and natural gas
industry terms used in this report.
bbl
. Stock tank barrel, or 42
U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in this report in reference to crude oil or
other liquid hydrocarbons.
bcf
. Billion cubic feet of
natural gas.
boe.
Barrels of crude oil
equivalent, determined using the ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one bbl of
crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids.
boe/d
. boe per
day.
Completion
. The process of
treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for
the production of natural gas or oil, or in the case of a dry hole, the
reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.
Condensate
. Hydrocarbons
which are in the gaseous state under reservoir conditions and which become
liquid when temperature or pressure is reduced. A mixture of pentanes and higher
hydrocarbons.
Development well
. A well
drilled within the proved area of a natural gas or oil reservoir to the depth of
a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
Drilling locations
. Total
gross locations specifically quantified by management to be included in the
Company’s multi-year drilling activities on existing acreage. The Company’s
actual drilling activities may change depending on the availability of capital,
regulatory approvals, seasonal restrictions, oil and natural gas prices, costs,
drilling results and other factors.
Dry hole
. A well found to be
incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify
completion as an oil or gas well.
Exploratory well
. A well
drilled to find and produce natural gas or oil reserves not classified as
proved, to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of
natural gas or oil in another reservoir or to extend a known
reservoir.
Field
. An area consisting of
either a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs, all grouped on or related to
the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic
condition.
Formation
. An identifiable
layer of rocks named after its geographical location and dominant rock
type.
Lease
. A legal contract that
specifies the terms of the business relationship between an energy company and a
landowner or mineral rights holder on a particular tract of land.
Leasehold
. Mineral rights
leased in a certain area to form a project area.
mbbls
. Thousand barrels of
crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
mboe.
Thousand barrels of
crude oil equivalent, determined using the ratio of six mcf of natural gas to
one bbl of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids
mcf.
Thousand cubic feet of
natural gas.
mcfe
. Thousand cubic feet
equivalent, determined using the ratio of six mcf of natural gas to one bbl of
crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids.
mmbbls
. Million barrels of
crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
mmboe.
Million barrels of
crude oil equivalent, determined using the ratio of six mcf of natural gas to
one bbl of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids.
mmbtu
. Million British
Thermal Units.
mmcf
. Million cubic feet of
natural gas.
Net acres, net wells, or net
reserves
. The sum of the fractional working interest owned in gross
acres, gross wells, or gross reserves, as the case may be.
ngl.
Natural gas liquids, or
liquid hydrocarbons found in association with natural gas.
Overriding royalty interest
.
Is similar to a basic royalty interest except that it is created out of the
working interest. For example, an operator possesses a standard lease providing
for a basic royalty to the lessor or mineral rights owner of 1/8 of 8/8. This
then entitles the operator to retain 7/8 of the total oil and natural gas
produced. The 7/8 in this case is the 100% working interest the operator owns.
This operator may assign his working interest to another operator subject to a
retained 1/8 overriding royalty. This would then result in a basic royalty of
1/8, an overriding royalty of 1/8 and a working interest of 3/4. Overriding
royalty interest owners have no obligation or responsibility for developing and
operating the property. The only expenses borne by the overriding royalty owner
are a share of the production or severance taxes and sometimes costs incurred to
make the oil or gas salable.
Plugging and abandonment
.
Refers to the sealing off of fluids in the strata penetrated by a well so that
the fluids from one stratum will not escape into another or to the surface.
Regulations of all states require plugging of abandoned wells.
Present value of future net revenues
(PV-10
). The present value of estimated future revenues to be generated
from the production of proved reserves, before income taxes, of proved reserves
calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board guidelines,
net of estimated production and future development costs, using prices and costs
as of the date of estimation without future escalation, without giving effect to
hedging activities, non-property related expenses such a general and
administrative expenses, debt service and depreciation, depletion and
amortization, and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%.
PV-10
. Pre–tax present value
of estimated future net revenues discounted at 10%.
Production
. Natural
resources, such as oil or gas, taken out of the ground.
Proved oil and gas reserves
.
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural
gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate
with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known
reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and
costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.
(i)
|
Reservoirs
are considered proved if economic producibility is supported by either
actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir
considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling and
defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the
immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be
reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available
geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid
contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls
the lower proved limit of the
reservoir.
|
(ii)
|
Reserves
which can be produced economically through application of improved
recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the "proved"
classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for
the engineering analysis on which the project or program was
based.
|
(iii)
|
Estimates
of proved reserves do not include the following: (A) oil that may become
available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as "indicated
additional reserves"; (B) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids,
the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of
uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;
C) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur in
undrilled prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas
liquids, that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilscnite , and
other such sources.
|
Proved developed oil and gas
reserves.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be
expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for
supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be
included as "proved developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or
after the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production
response that increased recovery will be achieved.
Proved undeveloped reserves
.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to be
recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved undeveloped
reserves he attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such
techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.
Probable Reserves.
Probable
reserves are those additional reserves which analysis of geoscience and
engineering data indicate are less likely to be recovered than proved reserves
but more certain to be recovered than possible reserves. It is equally likely
that actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater than or less than the
sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves (2P). In this context, when
probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50-percent
probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the 2P
estimate.
Possible Reserves.
Possible
reserves are those additional reserves which analysis of geoscience and
engineering data suggest are less likely to be recoverable than probable
reserves. The total quantities ultimately recovered from the project have a low
probability to exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves
(3P), which is equivalent to the high estimate scenario. In this context, when
probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10-percent
probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the 3P
estimate.
Productive well
. A well that
is found to be capable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities
to justify completion as an oil or gas well.
Project
. A targeted
development area where it is probable that commercial gas can be produced from
new wells.
Prospect
. A specific
geographic area which, based on supporting geological, geophysical or other data
and also preliminary economic analysis using reasonably anticipated prices and
costs, is deemed to have potential for the discovery of commercial
hydrocarbons.
Recompletion
. The process of
re-entering an existing well bore that is either producing or not producing and
completing new reservoirs in an attempt to establish or increase existing
production.
Reserves
. Oil, natural gas
and gas liquids thought to be accumulated in known reservoirs.
Reservoir
. A porous and
permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible
nature gas and/or oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and
is separate from other reservoirs.
Secondary Recovery
. A
recovery process that uses mechanisms other than the natural pressure of the
reservoir, such as gas injection or water flooding, to produce residual oil and
natural gas remaining after the primary recovery phase.
Shut-in
. A well that has been
capped (having the valves locked shut) for an undetermined amount of time. This
could be for additional testing, could be to wait for pipeline or processing
facility, or a number of other reasons.
Standardized measure
. The
present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved oil and natural gas
reserves, less future development, abandonment, production and income tax
expenses, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash flows and
using the same pricing assumptions as were used to calculate PV-10. Standardized
measure differs from PV-10 because standardized measure includes the effect of
future income taxes.
Successful
. A well is
determined to be successful if it is producing oil or natural gas, or awaiting
hookup, but not abandoned or plugged.
Undeveloped acreage
. Lease
acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would
permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and natural gas regardless
of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.
Water flood
. A method of
secondary recovery in which water is injected into the reservoir formation to
displace residual oil and enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
Working interest
. The
operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct
operating activities on the property and receive a share of production and
requires the owner to pay a share of the costs of drilling and production
operations.

ITEM 4(T).
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed and continue to
evaluate the effectiveness of our controls and procedures over financial
reporting and disclosure (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”
is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. This term
refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it
files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. In designing and evaluating our controls and procedures over
financial reporting and disclosure, our management recognized that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and our
management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
An
evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,
2009.
Changes in Internal Control
.
We made no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
