HKN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007 and 2006
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In our opinion, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of our operations and changes in our cash flows for all periods presented as of September 30, 2007 and 2006. The December 31, 2006 consolidated condensed balance sheet information is derived from audited financial statements. All adjustments represent normal recurring items. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2007 presentation.
The consolidated condensed financial statements retroactively reflect the effect of the one-for-22.4 reverse stock split which was effective in June 2007. Accordingly, all disclosures involving the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, issued or to be issued, such as with a transaction involving our common stock, and all per share amounts, retroactively reflects the impact of the reverse stock split.
The consolidated condensed financial statements also retroactively reflect the effect of the change in the accounting for our investment in Spitfire Energy Ltd. (Spitfire) from cost method to equity method. This accounting change was effective subsequent to our purchase of additional Spitfire common shares for investment purposes in August 2007. This private placement increased our common share holdings of Spitfire from approximately 9% to approximately 25% of the currently outstanding Spitfire common shares during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2007. The impact on the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 was a decrease in our investment in Spitfire and our Other Comprehensive Income by $114 thousand. There was no impact on the prior period income statement. Please see Note 3 Investment in Spitfire Energy for further discussion related to our investment in Spitfire.
The consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were restated in the prior year to reflect the impact of an unrecorded payout adjustment on the 14589 #2 well in our operated Lake Raccourci Field in Louisiana. In 2006, we recorded the net of tax impact of the adjustment, which amounted to losses of $111 thousand and $197 thousand for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The impact of these adjustments was not significant to our operating results, trends, or liquidity for the annual or quarterly period in the prior year. Please see Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion related to this payout contingency.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the
8
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of all companies that we, through our direct or indirect ownership or shareholding, were provided the ability to control the operating policies and procedures. As previously reported, during the second quarter of 2006, we deconsolidated Global Energy Development Plc (Global) from our consolidated condensed financial statements. Under U.S. GAAP we reflected the deconsolidation prospectively. We have provided an unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 giving effect to the deconsolidation of Globals operations as if it had been effective for this period. See Note 2 Investment in Global for further discussion.

Financial Instruments - We carry our financial instruments including cash, derivatives, and our investment in ordinary shares of Global at their estimated fair values. The fair values of our securities and exchange-traded derivatives are based on prices quoted in active markets, and the fair values of our commodity derivatives are based on pricing provided by our counterparties. Our investment in ordinary shares of Global has been designated as available for sale. The associated unrealized gains and losses on our available for sale investments are recorded to other comprehensive income until realized.
We have not designated any of our derivative instruments as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All gains and losses related to these positions are recognized in earnings.
Equity Method Investments For investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence but do not control, we follow the equity method of accounting. Initial investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by proportionate share of the investees earnings and capital transactions. Our share of investee earnings are recorded to our income statement and our share of their capital transactions are recorded in our shareholders equity. We evaluate these investments for other-than-temporary declines in value each quarter; any impairment found would be recorded through earnings.
9
Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts - Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. investees whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are included in Other Comprehensive Income until the investment is sold.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt this statement January 1, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
During February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement allows for the measurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Under this statement, an entity may elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis and measure the changes in the fair value as unrealized gains and losses in earnings. This statement is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating our options under this statement and any potential impact on earnings.
(2) INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we held an investment in Global through our ownership of approximately 34% of Globals ordinary shares, which we account for as a cost method investment. Global is an established petroleum exploration and production company focused on Latin America. Globals ordinary shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. In September 2007, Global announced that it had received several unsolicited expressions of interest from separate parties which may or may not lead to an offer or offers being made for the company. Global also indicated that its Board is currently evaluating these expressions of interest.
2006 Deconsolidation of Global We deconsolidated Global from our consolidated condensed financial statements during the second quarter of 2006. Under U.S. GAAP, we were required to reflect this deconsolidation prospectively. As a result of this treatment, Globals operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are still included in our financial statements in 2006. We account for our Global shares as an available-for-sale cost method investment. We recognize any dividend income in earnings, and our investment in Global is adjusted to fair value every quarterly period with an offset to other comprehensive income in stockholders equity.
10
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our investment in Global was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Globals common stock as follows:

Pro Forma Information The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Globals operations as if it had been effective for this period. The combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is presented as reported. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2007 did not contain any results of operations for Global. The unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only. To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the period presented, we removed Globals historical results of operations at their previously-reported values and adjusted the amounts which would have been reported if Global was a cost-method investment at the time.

(3) INVESTMENT IN SPITFIRE ENERGY
Investment in Spitfire Energy, Ltd. - In December 2006, we acquired 2.6 million common shares and 1.3 million warrants to acquire common shares of Spitfire Energy, Ltd. (Spitfire) through a private placement for investment purposes at a total cost of $2.3 million. During 2007, we continued purchasing shares of Spitfire common stock in the market by acquiring 307 thousand shares at a total cost of $212 thousand.
In August 2007, we acquired an additional 8 million common shares of Spitfire through a private placement for investment purposes for $3.7 million, increasing our current ownership of Spitfire to 10.9 million shares. Subsequent to the issuance of the common shares, our common share holdings represented approximately 25% of the outstanding Spitfire common shares. Also in conjunction with this private placement, Spitfire extended the expiry date of the warrants held by us to August 1, 2010, and we obtained two seats on their board of directors.
12
As a result of our 25% ownership of Spitfires outstanding common shares and our two seats (out of a total of seven) on Spitfires board of directors, we gained the ability to exert significant influence over Spitfires operating and financial policies. Accordingly, we now reflect our investment in Spitfire as an equity method investment and have restated prior periods to present Spitfire as a step acquisition of an equity method investment. No goodwill was recorded as a result of this acquisition as any excess purchase price has been allocated to Spitfires oil and gas properties. Due to timing differences in our filing requirements and the lack of availability of financial information for the current quarterly period, we book our share of Spitfires financial activity on a three-month lag.
In accordance with the equity method of accounting, our investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted to reflect our share of changes in Spitfires capital. It is further adjusted to recognize our share of their earnings as they occur rather than as dividends or other distributions are received. Our share of their earnings would also include any other-than-temporary declines in fair value recognized during the period, if any. Changes in our proportionate share of the underlying equity of Spitfire which result from their issuance of additional equity securities are recognized as increases or decreases in shareholders equity, net of any related tax effects.
Our investment in Spitfire is reported in our balance sheet at its adjusted carrying value as a non-current asset, and our earnings are reported net of tax as a single line on our income statement. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our carrying value of this investment was $6.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The market value of our investment in shares of Spitfire common stock was $4.5 million at September 30, 2007. Management believes this excess of carrying value over the market value is temporary.

(6) STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Reverse Stock Split In June 2007, HKN effected a one-for-22.4 reverse stock split that has been retroactively reflected in the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Treasury Stock At December 31, 2006, we held 134 thousand shares of treasury stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we repurchased 43 thousand shares of our common stock in the open market at a cost of approximately $461 thousand pursuant to our repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we retired approximately 166 thousand treasury shares. At September 30, 2007, we held approximately 12 thousand shares of treasury stock.

(7) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Commodity Derivatives - We held certain commodity derivative instruments during the period which have been effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of our future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. Our oil and gas operating revenues and cash flows are impacted by changes in commodity product prices, which are volatile and cannot be accurately predicted. Our objective for holding these commodity derivatives was to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of our future natural gas sales and crude oil from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices. We did not designate any of our commodity derivatives as hedges under SFAS 133, and all of these contracts either expired or were closed during 2007. At September 30, 2007, we had no open commodity derivatives.
The following table reflects the derivative contracts that we had open during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and their associated losses. These losses are reflected in Trading revenues in our consolidated condensed statement of operations.

We do not hold any derivative instruments which are designated as either fair value hedges or foreign currency hedges. Settlements of our oil and gas commodity derivatives were based on the difference between fixed option prices and the New York Mercantile Exchange closing prices for each month during the life of the contracts. We monitor our crude oil and natural gas production prices compared to New York Mercantile Exchange prices to assure any commodity derivatives we may have are effective hedges in mitigating our commodity price risk.
Other derivatives As part of our treasury activities, we engage in the active management of investment and derivative instruments in energy industry securities traded on domestic securities exchanges. We use these derivatives as a tool to enhance investment return or to minimize the risk on our energy industry portfolio. Our energy industry derivatives are presented at fair value as derivative liabilities in our consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2007. These derivatives are not designated as hedges, and we recognize gains and losses related to these positions in current earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we have included unrealized gains of $69 thousand and realized gains of $597 thousand related to these derivatives within Trading revenues. These derivatives are recorded at their estimated fair value of $271 thousand as derivative liabilities on our balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The notional value of these open written put options at September 30, 2007 was $10.9 million.
(8) INCOME TAXES
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is
15
greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
Upon the adoption of FIN 48, we have no liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, and, as such, the adoption had no impact on our financial statements, and we have recorded no additional interest or penalties. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our effective tax rates.
Our policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we did not recognize any interest or penalties in our consolidated condensed statement of operations, nor did we have any interest or penalties accrued in our consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2007 relating to unrecognized tax benefits.
In May 2006, the Governor of Texas signed into law a Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3) which restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the current franchise tax with a new taxable margin component. Specifically, we are subject to a new entity level tax on the portion of our total revenue (as that term is defined in the legislation) that is generated in Texas beginning in our tax year ending December 31, 2007. Specifically, the Texas margin tax will be imposed at a maximum effective rate of 0.7% of our total revenue that is apportioned to Texas. We recorded a deferred tax liability in 2007 related to the Texas Margin Tax of $20 thousand and approximately $11 thousand for the current year provision. A deferred tax of $15 thousand related to foreign operations has been recorded as of September 30, 2007.
The tax years 2004-2006 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by the other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. The tax years 2003-2006 remain open for the Texas Franchise tax.
(9) SEGMENT INFORMATION
During the first quarter of 2007, we combined our management and administrative functions, and we no longer divide our operations into separate segments. Our exploration, development, production and acquisition efforts in the United States are managed and evaluated by us as one operation. We operate primarily through traditional ownership of mineral interests in the various states in which we operate. Our oil and gas production are sold to established purchasers and generally transported through existing and well-developed pipeline infrastructure.
(10) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if security interests were exercised or converted into common stock. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (in thousands, except per share data):

(A) Represents the dilutive effect of our Series M warrants as the average price of our stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, exceeded their strike price. All other preferred stock and warrants we have issued were antidilutive for this period. Not included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share were our warrants and preferred stock instruments outstanding during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The inclusion of these instruments would have been antidilutive.
(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Exxon Litigation Exxon Mobil Corporation v. XPLOR Energy SPV-I, Inc. filed in the 17th Judicial District Court for the Parish of LaFourche, State of Louisiana; Case No. 106838. On July 3, 2007, Exxon Mobil Corporation (Exxon) filed a Petition for Damages against XPLOR Energy SPV-I, Inc. (Xplor), alleging that Exxon is entitled to $960 thousand in interest related to an after payout working interest retained by Exxon in Xplors State Lease 14589 #2 well in the Lake Raccourci field. As previously reported, in December 2006, Exxon undertook a joint interest audit of Xplors, accounts related to the State Lease 14589 # 2 well. We acquired our ownership in the State Lease 14589 #2 well in the Lake Raccourci field as part of our acquisition of Xplor in 1999. Exxon had retained certain override and after payout interests on the State Lease 14589 #2 well pursuant to a 1995 Farmout Agreement and a 1998 Sublease Agreement with Xplor.
On January 2, 2007, we received from Exxon a letter setting forth the conclusions of the joint interest audit conducted by Exxon. Pursuant to the audit report, Exxon reported an underpayment of approximately $5.1 million related to the increased after-payout additional royalties and net revenues (including interest) in the well on the assumption that Exxon would elect to convert a portion of its override to an after payout working interest. We, as operator of the properties in question, retained our own outside accounting expert to conduct a separate joint interest audit of this matter. With the exception of minor interest calculations, our retained joint interest auditor verified the amounts of Exxons claim. We also retained a Louisiana law firm to conduct a legal analysis of the Exxon audit claim. All reviews conclude that neither we nor our co-lessees provided a formal written notice of payout to Exxon at the time that payout on the State Lease 14589 #2 well occurred (September 2000) or made payment for the corresponding increase in after payout net revenues and royalties due to Exxon. It is yet to be determined, however, whether Exxon knew or should have known of the payout at that time.
17
In a letter dated April 17, 2007, Exxon formally notified us of its election to convert a portion of its override to an after-payout working interest. In its letter Exxon acknowledges receipt of payment from us and the other working interest owners in the amount of $1.4 million representing escalated royalties from payout through November 2006. Exxon claimed a net balance due of $4.1 million (including interest) and demanded payment thereof within 30 days. Of that amount, our working interest share of the claim was approximately $1.7 million (including interest), with the other working interest owners of the well sharing their respective responsibility for the remaining balance. During May 2007, we, subject to a reservation of rights, remitted payments in the total amount of $3.0 million constituting the remaining principal amount alleged by Exxon to be due. All of the working interest owners in the State Lease 14589 #2 well have paid their proportionate share of the payments remitted to Exxon.
We intend to vigorously defend Exxons claims for additional monies, and to seek recoupment of any monies not due. On August 10, 2007 we filed and served on Exxon our Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Reconventional Demand (the Answer). In our Answer we include various defenses and arguments including our position that Exxon knew or should have known that payout of State Lease 14589 #2 well had occurred in our about September 2000 and that as a result, Exxons claims, or portions thereof, are barred. In the event we do not prevail in our defense of Exxons claims for additional monies, we have accrued funds that we estimate sufficient for our proportionate share of any amounts that may become due. Further, our outside attorneys have established support for us to collect the interest owners share of the interest claim either through cash calls, or failing that, offset rights from future production on the State Lease 14589 #2 well and other Lake Raccourci wells, if necessary. While the ultimate result of this dispute remains uncertain, we believe the result will not have a material impact on our financial results.
Flohr Litigation Thomas M. Flohr d/b/a Emerging Markets Group v. International Business Associates Ltd. et al; Case No. 07 CV 2920 filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In April 2007, Thomas M. Flohr d/b/a Emerging Markets Group (the Plaintiff) filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court in New York naming International Business Associates, Ltd. as First Defendant (IBA); International Business Associates Holdings Co., Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary and others as Second Defendants; and us as a Third Defendant. In his complaint the Plaintiff alleged that all of the named Defendants are jointly and severally liable for damages that Plaintiff alleged are owed by the Defendants in relation to an August 10, 2004 fee agreement by and between the Plaintiff and Defendant IBA. The Plaintiff asserted damages in the principal amount of $176 thousand and demanded interest thereon in the amount of $18 thousand. We filed our response to the Plaintiffs complaint seeking dismissal of this action on various grounds. On June 13, 2007, the judge presiding over the dispute dismissed the Plaintiffs claim without prejudice to re-filing based on the mandatory arbitration clause contained in the fee agreement.
On June 23, 2007, we received a notice of dispute from the Plaintiff advising that Plaintiff intended to pursue resolution of this matter through arbitration. On October 11, 2007, we and the Plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed mutual releases wherein all claims related to touching upon the August 10, 2004 Fee Agreement are fully released in exchange for our payment of $112,500 to the Plaintiff. The resolution of this matter did not have a material impact on our financial results.
Operational Contingencies The exploration, development and production of oil and gas assets are subject to various, federal and state laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. Compliance with these regulations is part of our day-to-day operating procedures. Infrequently, accidental discharge of such materials as oil, natural gas or drilling fluids can occur and such accidents can require material expenditures to
18
correct. We maintain levels of insurance we believe to be customary in the industry to limit its financial exposure. We are unaware of any material capital expenditures required for environmental control during this fiscal year.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward looking. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to we, us and our, we are describing HKN, Inc. and its consolidated companies on a consolidated basis.
We are an independent energy company engaged primarily in oil and gas exploration, exploitation, development and production activities. Our strategy is to enhance value for our stockholders through the development of a well-balanced portfolio of energy-based assets. In addition to our oil and gas operations, we engage in the active management of investments in energy industry securities and futures traded on domestic and international securities exchanges. We also seek to invest in additional energy-based growth opportunities. Our crude oil and natural gas operations consist of exploration, exploitation, development, production and acquisition efforts in the United States, principally in the onshore and offshore Gulf Coast regions of South Texas and Louisiana, as well as coal bed methane exploration and development activities in Indiana and Ohio.
We have an investment in Global Energy Development PLC (Global) through our ownership of approximately 34% of Globals ordinary shares which we account for as a cost method investment. Global has exploration, development and production activities in Colombia and exploration activities in Panama and Peru.
We also have an investment in Spitfire Energy, Ltd. (Spitfire), a junior oil and gas exploration company in Canada, through our ownership of approximately 25% of Spitfires ordinary shares. During August 2007, we increased our ownership interest from approximately 9.9% to 25% and gained two of seven seats on Spitfires board of directors. As a result, we gained significant influence over Spitfire, and accordingly we account for our investment in Spitfire as an equity method investment. Prior periods have been restated to reflect Spitfire as an equity method investment for all periods presented.
The consolidated condensed financial statements also retroactively reflect the effect of the one-for-22.4 reverse stock split which was effective in June 2007. Accordingly, all disclosures involving the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, issued or to be issued, such as with a transaction involving our common stock, and all per share amounts, retroactively reflect the impact of the reverse stock split.
19
Significant financial highlights in the first nine months of 2007 include the following:
Profitable operations accomplished with a net income of $2.8 million.
Capital expenditures of $8.6 million for development drilling on newly-acquired interests in the Creole and East Lake Verret fields as well as workover activity at Main Pass 35 and a project at East Allen Ranch.
Decreased depreciation, depletion and amortization rate per unit as a result of increased reserve volumes.
Significant progress accomplished in the first phase of pilot wells in our Indiana-Posey coalbed methane prospect.
Non-operated natural gas production declined compared to prior year period due to lower than anticipated non-operated well workover and drilling activity from our partners.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 14% due to cost-cutting measures, on a pro forma basis.
Repurchased approximately 43 thousand common shares in the market.
Gulf Coast Oil and Gas Properties
Our revenues are primarily derived from sales from our oil and gas properties. Approximately 56% of our production comes from our operated properties all located in the United States. Our revenues are a function of the oil and gas volumes produced and the prevailing commodity price at the time of production, and certain quality and transportation discounts. The commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas as well as the timing of production volumes have a significant impact on our operating income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our oil and gas revenues were comprised of approximately 59% oil sales and 41% natural gas production.
As of September 30, 2007, our net domestic production rate was averaging approximately 5.7 million cubic feet equivalent (MMcfe) of natural gas per day. During the nine months ending September 30, 2007, we have been actively participating in the development of our oil and gas assets.
The following field data updates the status of our operations through September 30, 2007:
New Pursuits
3D Seismic Data Purchase
During 2007, we purchased 3D Seismic Data covering approximately 2,500 square miles, representing more than 60 areas of interest throughout the Gulf Coast Region of primarily Texas and Louisiana, which is our core area of operations. We are currently loading this data onto a geophysical workstation for future interpretation; we expect this data to provide better prospect generation from both a quantitative and qualitative
20
perspective.
Creole Field, Terrebonne Parish - Louisiana
A 15% non-operated working interest in this offshore field was acquired late in the fourth quarter 2006. The field included a producing dual-completed well with facilities which averaged 0.66 MMcfe of natural gas per day in the third quarter of 2007.
Both wells that were drilled in 2007 were tied in and began producing in the third quarter of 2007. Multiple stacked pays in these wells indicate favorable future recompletion potential. Gross daily production from the three wells (six completions) averaged 400 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) and 550 thousand cubic feet per day (Mcfpd) during the third quarter 2007.
East Lake Verret, Assumption Parish Louisiana
We have an average 5% non-operated working interest in this field. Our first development well on this project was successfully completed and placed into production in the first quarter 2007 averaging 0.74 gross MMcfe of natural gas per day. A second well was spud at year-end 2006 and was also completed in the first quarter 2007. This well encountered multiple stacked pays and was tested in the initial zone for nearly 3.5 gross MMcfe of natural gas per day and was put on production in the second quarter 2007. Due to stacked pays, favorable recompletion potential is expected in the future productive life of these wells. The operator proposed the drilling of a third well in the third quarter, but we declined participation after deeming the prospect did not meet our risk/reward criteria. Gross daily production from the both wells averaged 56 BOPD and 2230 Mcfpd during the third quarter 2007.
BP 2D Texas Gulf Coast Project, Various Counties - Texas
The first shallow Yegua well in the project, the Boquillas #1, is anticipated to spud early in the fourth quarter of 2007. A number of locations have been identified and a drilling program will be determined pending the results of this initial well.
An 85 square mile 3D seismic survey in the northeastern portion of the project area has been designed, and land work continues prior to surveying and acquisition. Seismic acquisition is anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2007. Approximately ten 2D seismic leads have been identified and will be imaged by the proposed 3D seismic.
Progress on Coalbed Methane Prospects
Indiana and Ohio
We hold three significant exploration and development agreements in Indiana and Ohio, of which two prospects provide for an area of mutual interest of approximately 400,000 acres, and one provides for approximately 20,000 acres. The agreements provide for a phased delineation, pilot and development program, with corresponding staged expenditures. Contracted third parties with a long track record in successful Coalbed Methane development provide expert advice for these projects.
21
On the Indiana Posey Prospect, we have funded approximately $916 thousand of a $1.28 million project for the first of two pilot well projects on the Indiana Prospect. The drilling of the first five pilot wells was completed in the second quarter of 2007. All five pilot wells were also completed during this period with production testing for pump-down and pressure monitoring begun in four of the five wells. Fracture treatment and pump equipment installation of the fifth pilot well was completed in the third quarter of 2007. With all lines and facility equipment in place, pump-down for desorption has begun in all five pilot wells as of the end of the third quarter 2007. A water disposal well was drilled and completed with water injection initiated in the third quarter 2007. In October 2007, a second pilot well project has been initiated. Following an extended evaluation period of the pilot wells, we will evaluate a Phase III election and funding of a development well program as contemplated by the agreements.
On the Ohio Cumberland Prospect, in December 2006, we elected to proceed and fund pilot well drilling under Phase II of the agreement. With regard to Phase II, we made an additional $500 thousand prospect acquisition payment and intend to fund a $1.28 million project in 2007 for the first of two pilot well projects on the Cumberland Prospect.
On the Triangle Prospect Area in Ohio, the coring phase commenced in December 2006, and was completed during the first quarter of 2007. The core samples were desorbed and analyzed, in the second and third quarter. One of the core wells was permeability tested in the third quarter 2007. These results along with core results are being evaluated by the operator. We may elect to proceed and fund a Phase II of pilot wells on this prospect in late fourth quarter 2007.
Oil and Gas Production Update
Main Pass, Plaquemines Parish Louisiana
We have a 90% operated interest in Main Pass. During the fourth quarter of 2006, recompletion, re-activation and downhole equipment wellwork was successfully completed in three producing wells. Given the success of these operations, we are continuing our efforts to access additional operations to further increase production in the field. Gross production averaged 420 barrels of oil per day for the third quarter of 2007 despite compressor engine repairs. Plans to increase gas compression facilities and to bring additional third party production for processing dominated operational plans and efforts in the third quarter of 2007. We continue our geological and geophysical study in the area, utilizing our license to 21 square miles of 3D seismic data, covering the area held by production leases.
Branville Bay Field, Plaquemines Parish Louisiana
We hold a 12.5% non-operated working interest in this two-well offshore field. Third quarter 2007 production averaged approximately 1.1 gross MMcfe of natural gas per day. Current daily production for the two gas-lifted wells is now .9 gross MMcfe.
Lapeyrouse Field, Terrebonne Parish Louisiana
We hold an average non-operated working interest of approximately 18.26 % in the production from nine wells in this field. Current gross field production is averaging approximately 4.8 MMcfe of natural gas per day. In the second quarter of 2007, the operator of this field changed. The new operator began diagnostic efforts in the third quarter of 2007 to return shut-in wells to production via possible recompletion designs. The first of two compression facilities were installed late in the third quarter of 2007.
22
Point-au-Fer Field, Terrebonne Parish Louisiana
We own a 12.5% non-operated working interest in this approximate 56 square mile area. Gross production for this field is approximately 1.9 MMcfe of natural gas per day. Several prospects have been identified in the area, and we expect to have additional drilling and workover activity late in fourth quarter 2007 or early 2008.
Allen Ranch Field, Colorado County Texas
We own an 11.25% non-operated working interest in this area. Gross production for this field averaged 2.4 MMcfe of natural gas per day early in 2007 primarily from the initial well, the Hancock Gas Unit # 1 which is the only well currently producing from the field. After demonstrating significant commercial production in several horizons, the Hancock Gas Unit #2 was damaged in the course of a remedial workover. Remedial activity to remove debris was performed early in 2007 and mechanical failures were determined. Despite this setback, we continue to be aggressive in further developing this field. As planned, the first of two field extension wells was drilled in the second quarter 2007, and completed in the third quarter 2007 gas facilities/pipeline tie in efforts are underway with production to commence in fourth quarter. A second extension well is expected later in early 2008.
Point-a-la-Hache Field, Plaquemines Parish Louisiana
We maintain a 25% operated working interest in one producing well in this field. Average gross production for the third quarter of 2007 was 0.6 MMcfe as produced water disposal injection was begun early in the quarter due to the conversion of a shut-in well to water injection in the second quarter of 2007. Current production has increased to 0.55 MMcfe.
Lake Raccourci Field, Lafourche Parish Louisiana
We hold an average 40% operated working interest in each of our Lake Raccourci wells. Gross production for this field averaged 4.8 MMcfe of natural gas per day in the third quarter of 2007 as gas lift repair efforts late in the second quarter proved successful in returning the major oil producing well back to uninterrupted production. Current gross field production is 4.5 MMcfe.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, through our treasury activities, we engaged in the active management of investments in energy industry securities traded on domestic securities exchanges. As a result of our trading activities in first nine months of 2007, we realized net trading gains of $512 thousand on our closed positions on common stock investments, common stock derivatives and commodity derivatives. These were in addition to net unrealized gains of $26 thousand on our common stock derivatives, common stock investments and commodity derivatives. Also related to these trading activities, we received net cash proceeds of $2.0 million upon entering into new trading positions during the period. At September 30, 2007, we held approximately $10.9 million outstanding of notional value in exchange-traded written put positions. The fair value of these written put options was $271 thousand at September 30, 2007. These options are reflected on our balance sheet at their fair value as derivative liabilities at September 30, 2007.
23
Monitoring the Portfolio
We monitor our trading portfolio on a daily basis to verify that there is no market or liquidity exposure level we consider not acceptable. We recalculate our estimates of gross aggregate cash exposure on a daily basis so that total notional value outstanding and cash on hand does not exceed $15 million. At any time though, we may reduce our portfolio exposure by selling or terminating our positions.
INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL
Investment in Global - At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we owned approximately 34% of Globals ordinary shares. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our investment in Global was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Globals common stock as follows:

The foreign currency translation adjustment of $801 thousand and the unrealized loss on investment of $615 thousand for these changes in market value between the two periods are recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders equity at September 30, 2007.
In September 2007, Global announced that it had received several unsolicited expressions of interest from separate parties which may or may not lead to an offer or offers being made for the company. Global also indicated that its Board is currently evaluating these expressions of interest.
Pro Forma Information We deconsolidated Global from our consolidated condensed financial statements during the second quarter of 2006. The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Globals operations as if it had been effective for this period. The combined condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is presented as reported. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 do not contain any results of operations for Global. The unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future operating results. To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the period presented, we removed Globals historical results of operations at their previously-reported values and adjusted the amounts which would have been reported if Global was a cost-method investment at the time.

INVESTMENT IN SPITFIRE
In December 2006, we acquired 2.6 million common shares and 1.3 million warrants to acquire common shares of Spitfire Energy, Ltd. (Spitfire) through a private placement for investment purposes at a total cost of $2.3 million. During 2007, we continued purchasing shares of Spitfire common stock in the market by acquiring 307 thousand shares at a total cost of $212 thousand. In August 2007, we acquired an additional 8 million common shares of Spitfire through a private placement for investment purposes for $3.7 million, increasing our current ownership of Spitfire to 10,906,500 shares. Subsequent to the issuance of the common shares, our common share holdings represented approximately 25% of the outstanding Spitfire common shares. Also in conjunction with this private placement, Spitfire extended the expiry date of the warrants held by us to August 1, 2010 and we obtained two seats on their board of directors.
As a result of our 25% ownership of Spitfires outstanding common shares and our two seats (out of a total of seven) on Spitfires board of directors, we gained the ability to exert significant influence over Spitfires operating and financial policies. Accordingly, we now reflect our investment in Spitfire as an equity
25
method investment and have restated prior periods to present Spitfire as a step acquisition of an equity method investment. No goodwill was recorded as a result of this acquisition as any excess purchase price has been allocated to Spitfires oil and gas properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Our consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP which requires us to use estimates and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, industry conditions and various other factors which we believe are appropriate. Actual results could vary significantly from our estimates and assumptions as additional information becomes known. The more significant critical accounting estimates and assumptions are described below.
Full Cost Accounting Method We account for the costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves using the full cost accounting method. Under full cost accounting rules, the net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties shall not exceed an amount equal to the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, including the use of oil and gas prices as of the end of each quarter, after giving effect to the asset retirement obligation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Investments are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by management. Factors considered in valuing individual investments include, without limitation, available market prices, reported net asset values, type of security, purchase price, purchases of the same or similar securities by other investors, marketability, restrictions on disposition, current financial position and operating results, and other pertinent information.
Furthermore, judgment is used to value certain securities if quoted current market prices are not available. These valuations are made with consideration for various assumptions, including time value, yield curve, volatility factors, liquidity, market prices on comparable securities and other factors. The subjectivity involved in this process makes these valuations inherently less reliable than quoted market prices. We believe that our comprehensive risk management policies and procedures serve to monitor the appropriateness of the assumptions used.
We carry our financial instruments including cash, derivatives and our investment in ordinary shares of Global at their estimated fair values. The fair values of our securities and exchange-traded derivatives are based on prices quoted in active market, and the fair values of our commodity derivatives are based on pricing provided by our counter parties.
With the exception of our investment in common shares of Spitfire, all of our investments in equity securities have been designated as available for sale. Our investment in Global is classified as a non-current asset in our accompanying balance sheets. The associated unrealized gains and losses on our available for sale investments are recorded to other comprehensive income until realized.
Equity Method Investments For investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence but do not control, we follow the equity method of accounting. Initial investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by proportionate share of the investees earnings and capital transactions. Our share of investee earnings are recorded to our income statement and our share of their capital transactions are recorded
26
in our shareholders equity. We evaluate these investments for other-than-temporary declines in value each quarter; any impairment found would be recorded through earnings.
Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts - Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. investees whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are included in Other Comprehensive Income until the investment is sold.
Fair Value of Derivatives - Fair values of our exchange-traded derivatives are generally determined from quoted market prices. We currently do not hold any over the counter derivatives that would be valued using valuation models. The end of day price quotations obtained from the third-party broker / dealer portfolio appraisal statement are used as the primary evidence for the fair value of the financial instrument.
We have not designated any of our derivative instruments as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All gains and losses related to these positions are recognized in earnings. At the end of each quarterly period, we evaluate for reasonableness the end of day price quotations in the brokers portfolio appraisal statement by considering the following factors:
a. |
The end of day quoted settlement price set by an exchange on which the financial instrument are principally traded. |
|
|
b. |
The mean between the last bid and the ask prices from the exchange on which the financial instrument is principally traded. |
Subsequent to the above review, if we determine the broker / dealer appraisal prices to be unreliable, we may substitute a good-faith estimate of fair value.
Consolidation of variable interest entities - In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), which requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entitys (VIE) activities to consolidate the VIE. FIN 46 defines a VIE as an entity in which the equity investors do not have substantive voting rights and there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the expected losses and/or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of the VIEs activities. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46(R), which supercedes and amends certain provisions of FIN 46. While FIN 46(R) retained many of the concepts and provisions of FIN 46, it also provides additional guidance related to the application of FIN 46, provides for certain additional scope exceptions, and incorporates several FASB Staff Positions issued related to the application of FIN 46.
As of September 30, 2007, we owned less than a majority of the common shares of Global and did not possess the legal power to direct the operating policies and procedures of Global through our direct ownership, combined with the ownership by Lyford Investments Enterprises Ltd. (Lyford) in Global shares. In addition, we have concluded that Global was not a VIE at September 30, 2007 as contemplated by FIN 46(R).
27
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt this statement January 1, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
During February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement allows for the measurement of certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Under this statement, an entity may elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis and measure the changes in the fair value as unrealized gains and losses in earnings. This statement is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating our options under this statement.
PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the purposes of discussion and analysis, we present a summary of our consolidated condensed results of operations followed by a more detailed discussion and analysis of our operations. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are presented on a pro forma basis. The pro forma results are representative of what our earnings would have been if Global were deconsolidated from our results of operations during the period presented.

Oil and Gas Revenues and Oil and Gas Expenses for the Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to September 30, 2006
Our oil and gas revenues are generated from operations in onshore and offshore areas of the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. During the third quarter 2007, our oil and gas revenues decreased from $6.8 million in the prior year period to $5.0 million for the current quarter. Decreases in our non-operated gas production were partially offset by an increase in oil prices received.
Our natural gas revenues decreased 57% to approximately $1.6 million during third quarter 2007 as compared to $3.6 million during third quarter 2006. The prices realized for natural gas sales fell from $7.34 per mcf in the prior year period to $6.83 per mcf during the third quarter 2007. The 54% decrease in our sales volume continues to be attributed to low drilling, workover and recompletion activity in our non-operated properties at Allen Ranch, Lapeyrouse and Raymondville fields during the third quarter 2007.
Our oil revenues increased 10% to approximately $3.5 million during third quarter 2007 from approximately $3.2 million during third quarter 2006. We realized a significant increase in oil prices received, increasing from an average of $69.64 per barrel in third quarter 2006 to $78.00 per barrel in the third quarter 2007, while production remained steady.
Our oil and gas operating expense decreased 16%, falling from approximately $2.5 million during third quarter 2006 to $2.1 million during third quarter 2007. The per-unit operating expense rates increased from $3.23 per Mcfe in third quarter 2006 to $4.21 per Mcfe in third quarter 2007 primarily due to demand-driven price increases for oilfield services and equipment associated with increased oilfield activity (particularly in offshore Louisiana) as well as decreases in our gas production. Our overall decrease in operating expenses is due to a decrease in workover activity for the 2007 period as well as lower production.
Trade Revenues, net
As a result of our trading activities of investments in energy industry securities during the third quarter 2007, we realized net trading gains of $90 thousand on our closed positions on common stock investments, common stock derivatives and commodity derivatives. In addition, we recognized $119 thousand of net unrealized gains on our common stock derivatives, common stock investments and commodity derivatives. We recognized gains on commodity derivatives of $115 thousand during the third quarter of 2006 which were partially offset by unrealized losses on common stock derivatives.
Fees, Interest and Other Income, net
Fees, interest and other income increased from $779 thousand during third quarter 2006 to $803 thousand during third quarter 2007, primarily due to the recovery of an impairment valuation on real estate which was partially offset by decreases in interest income received due to lower cash balances on hand as a result of funds being invested in trading activities during the 2007 period.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expenses were relatively flat at $1.4 million for the 2007 period and $1.3 million for the 2006 period.
29
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion Expense
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (DD&A) expense decreased during third quarter 2007 as compared to third quarter 2006 due to decreased depletion rates for our oil and gas properties primarily as a result of added reserve volumes at year-end 2006. Depletion on oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit of production basis in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. In third quarter 2007, our average DD&A rate decreased 20% to $2.72 per mcfe as compared to $3.38 per mcfe in third quarter 2006 due to increased reserve volumes added during the period as a result of our drilling efforts.
Other losses totaled $109 thousand during third quarter 2007, and primarily related to the decline in the estimated fair value of the 1.3 million warrants we hold on common shares of Spitfire. We account for these Spitfire warrants as derivatives in accordance with SFAS 133 and recognize the change in estimated fair value of the warrants in earnings in our consolidated condensed statement of operations each quarter.
Equity in losses of Spitfire
Equity in losses of Spitfire of $1 thousand contains our proportional share of Spitfires losses for the quarter. We did not own an investment in Spitfire during the third quarter of 2006.
Preferred Stock Dividends
All of our preferred stock issues contain dividend provisions. Dividends related to all of our preferred stock are cumulative, and may be paid in cash or common stock, at our option. We accrue the dividends at their cash liquidation value and reflect the accrual of dividends as a reduction to Net income to arrive at Net income attributed to common stock.
Accruals of dividends related to preferred stock for each of the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Oil and Gas Revenues and Oil and Gas Expenses for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to September 30, 2006
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our oil and gas revenues decreased 16% to approximately $14.9 million compared to $17.7 million for the same period of 2006 primarily due to the decrease in our natural gas sales volumes from our non-operated properties as compared to the prior year period. The drop in production was partially offset by an increase in the prices realized per mcfe which increased from $8.74 to $9.57.
Our natural gas revenues decreased 37% to approximately $6.2 million during the first nine months of
30
2007 as compared to $9.7 million during the same period in 2006. The prices realized for natural gas sales increased from $7.45 per mcf in the prior year period to $7.93 per mcf during the first three quarters of 2007. Our gas production fell by approximately 40% when compared to the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease in our sales volume can be attributed to low drilling, workover and recompletion activity in our non-operated properties at Allen Ranch, Lapeyrouse and Raymondville fields during the first three quarters of 2007.
Our oil revenues increased 8% to approximately $8.7 million during the 2007 period, up from approximately $8.1 million during the same period in 2006. After completing tubing and gas lift valve replacements in early 2007 on certain of our Main Pass 35 wells, we experienced a 7% increase in oil production during the 2007 period when compared to the same period of 2006. When adjusted for prior year volumes related to properties sold during the third quarter of 2006, oil production actually increased 16% during the 2007 period. We realized a slight increase in oil prices received of 1%, with prices averaging $67.30 per barrel in the first three quarters of 2007 compared to $66.35 per barrel in the first three quarters of 2006.
Our oil and gas operating expense decreased 9%, falling from $6.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $6.3 million during the same period of 2007. The per-unit operating expense rates increased from $3.40 per Mcfe in the first nine months of 2006 to $4.03 Mcfe in the 2007 period primarily due to demand-driven price increases for oilfield services and equipment associated with increased oilfield activity (particularly in offshore Louisiana) and decreased production.
Trade Revenues, net
As a result of our trading activities of investments in energy industry securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we realized net trading gains of $512 thousand on our closed positions on common stock investments, common stock derivatives and commodity derivatives. In addition we recognized $26 thousand of net unrealized gains on our common stock derivatives, common stock investments and commodity derivatives. We had gains on commodity derivatives of $39 thousand during the first nine months of 2006 which were offset by losses of $40 thousand on common stock derivatives.
Fees, Interest and Other Income, net
Fees, interest and other income increased from $2.2 million during the 2006 period to $2.6 million during the 2007 period, primarily due to approximately $1.2 million of facility processing fees in the first nine months of 2007 at our Main Pass 35 facility in offshore Louisiana for increased tariff rates and third-party volumes through our facility as compared to $916 thousand of Main Pass processing fees in the same period of 2006.
General and administrative expenses decreased 14% to $3.7 million during the first nine months of 2007 as compared to $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2006. This significant reduction was primarily due to a reduction in consultant fees and a reduction in accounting and audit fees for external reporting and Sarbanes-Oxley regulatory costs.
31
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion Expense
DD&A expense decreased during the 2007 period as compared to 2006 due to decreased depletion rates for our oil and gas properties as a result of increased reserve volumes at year-end 2006. Depletion on oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit of production basis in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. In the first nine months of 2007, our average DD&A rate decreased 22% to $2.78 per mcfe as compared to $3.55 per mcfe in first nine months of 2006.
Other losses totaled $413 thousand during the first nine months of 2007 primarily due to the decline in the estimated fair value of the 1.3 million warrants we hold to acquire common shares of Spitfire.
Equity in losses of Spitfire
Equity in losses of Spitfire of $43 thousand contains our proportional share of Spitfires losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We did not own any investments in Spitfire during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Preferred Stock Dividends

We had no similar transactions during the 2007 period.
We also recorded charges of $15 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 related to taxes paid on the payment of our preferred stock dividends.

We may seek to raise financing through the issuance of debt, equity and convertible debt instruments, if needed, for utilization for acquisition, development or investment opportunities as they arise. We may reduce our ownership interest in Globals common shares through strategic sales under certain conditions.
In September 2007, Global announced that it had received several unsolicited expressions of interest from separate parties which may or may not lead to an offer or offers being made for the company. Global also indicated that its Board is currently evaluating these expressions of interest.
At September 30, 2007, if our remaining convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants were exercised and/or converted, we would be required to issue the following amounts of our common stock:

Significant Ownership of our Stock
As of September 30, 2007, Lyford beneficially owned approximately 30% of the combined voting power of our common stock. Lyford is in a position to exercise significant influence over the election of our board of directors and other matters.
33
Cash Flows
Net cash flow provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $8.6 million, as compared to cash provided of $6.7 million in same period of 2006. Although our cash-adjusted earnings (which included Global) decreased during the 2007 period, and we used greater cash for our changes in working capital, the redemption of $5 million in short-term investments as opposed to investing $3.0 million during the prior year more than offset these decreases in cash. The increased use of cash for changes in our working capital resulted in a more favorable current ratio at September 30, 2007. Our cash and marketable securities on hand at September 30, 2007 totaled approximately $23.3 million.
Net cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2007 totaled approximately $559 thousand due primarily to the purchase of approximately 43 thousand shares of our common stock and the payment of our Series M preferred dividends. Net cash used in investing activities during the first three quarters of 2007 totaled approximately $10.8 million and was primarily comprised of approximately $8.7 million in capital expenditures and acquisitions and $3.9 million spent to purchase 8.3 million additional common shares of Spitfire offset by approximately $1.5 million received from the proceeds from the sale of certain of our available for sale investments during first quarter 2007.
Obligations and Commitments
Oil, Natural Gas and Coalbed Methane Commitments During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we expended approximately $8.6 million of capital expenditures for our oil, gas and coalbed methane properties. The majority of these capital expenditures were associated with the development of our interests in the Creole field in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, the East Lake Verret field in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, the East Allen Ranch field in Colorado County, Texas and workovers at Main Pass field, as well as continuing additions associated with our coalbed methane projects. We expect to fund the remaining 2007 capital expenditures with available cash on hand and through projected cash flow from operations in 2007. Possible weakening commodity prices, a decline in drilling success or substantial delays in bringing on production from wells drilled could cause reduced projected 2007 expenditures. However, our planned capital expenditures for 2007 are discretionary and, as a result, will be curtailed if sufficient funds are not available. Such expenditure curtailments, however, could result in us losing certain prospect acreage or reducing its interest in future development projects.
Operational Contingencies Our operations are subject to stringent and complex environmental laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations are subject to changes that may result in more restrictive or costly operations. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties or injunctive relief.
We recognize the full amount of asset retirement obligations beginning in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of a fair value can be made. At September 30, 2007, our asset retirement obligation liability totaled approximately $5.1 million.
From time to time, we provide for reserves related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. In addition to the above commitments, during 2007 and afterward, government authorities under our Louisiana state leases and other North American operators may also request us to participate in the cost of drilling additional exploratory and development wells. We may fund these future
34
expenditures at their discretion. Further, the cost of drilling or participating in the drilling of any such exploratory and development wells cannot be quantified at this time since the cost will depend on factors out of our control, such as the timing of the request, the depth of the wells and the location of the property. Our discretionary capital expenditures for 2007 will be curtailed if we do not have sufficient funds available. If we do not have sufficient funds or otherwise choose not to participate, we may experience a delay of future cash flows from proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Such expenditure curtailments could also result in us losing certain prospect acreage or reducing our interest in future development projects. As of September 30, 2007, we had no material purchase obligations.
Also in addition to these contractual obligations, we have written put options which may expose us to future obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of September 30, 2007, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Adequacy of Capital Sources and Liquidity
We believe that we have the ability to provide for our remaining 2007 operational needs and our planned capital expenditures and investments for 2007 through projected operating cash flow, cash on hand, and our ability to raise capital. Our operating cash flow would be adversely affected by declines in oil and natural gas prices, which can be volatile. Should projected operating cash flow decline, we may reduce our capital expenditures program and/or consider the issuance of debt, equity and convertible debt instruments, if needed, for utilization for the capital expenditure program. We may reduce our ownership interest in Globals common shares through strategic sales under certain conditions.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in commodity prices. Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our Investment Committee (IC). The IC is composed of our chief executive officer, the chairman of our board of directors, and one third-party consultant. Our risk management policies limit the exposure for trading investments to $20 million.
Commodity derivatives are used to mitigate the price risk inherent in our oil and gas operations. We have entered into these contracts to protect against significant decreases in commodity prices and will continue to consider various arrangements to realize commodity prices that we consider favorable. Other derivatives are used to capitalize on volatility and to increase the return or minimize the risk of our overall portfolio. These financial instruments are entered into through a registered broker and are traded on domestic exchanges.

We believe that the fair value of these contracts is a more relevant measure of the obligations because we believe the notional amount overstates the expected payout.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation discussed above that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Exxon Litigation Exxon Mobil Corporation v. XPLOR Energy SPV-I, Inc. filed in the 17th Judicial District Court for the Parish of LaFourche, State of Louisiana; Case No. 106838. On July 3, 2007, Exxon Mobil Corporation (Exxon) filed a Petition for Damages against XPLOR Energy SPV-I, Inc. (Xplor), alleging that Exxon is entitled to $960 thousand in interest related to an after payout working interest retained by Exxon in Xplors State Lease 14589 #2 well in the Lake Raccourci field. As previously reported, in December 2006, Exxon undertook a joint interest audit of Xplors, accounts related to the State Lease 14589 # 2 well. We acquired our ownership in the State Lease 14589 #2 well in the Lake Raccourci field as part of our acquisition of Xplor in 1999. Exxon had retained certain override and after payout interests on the State Lease 14589 #2 well pursuant to a 1995 Farmout Agreement and a 1998 Sublease Agreement with Xplor.
On January 2, 2007, we received from Exxon a letter setting forth the conclusions of the joint interest audit conducted by Exxon. Pursuant to the audit report, Exxon reported an underpayment of approximately $5.1 million related to the increased after-payout additional royalties and net revenues (including interest) in the well on the assumption that Exxon would elect to convert a portion of its override to an after payout working interest. We, as operator of the properties in question, retained our own outside accounting expert to conduct a separate joint interest audit of this matter. With the exception of minor interest calculations, our retained joint interest auditor verified the amounts of Exxons claim. We also retained a Louisiana law firm to conduct a legal analysis of the Exxon audit claim. All reviews conclude that neither we nor our co-lessees provided a formal written notice of payout to Exxon at the time that payout on the State Lease 14589 #2 well occurred (September 2000) or made payment for the corresponding increase in after payout net revenues and royalties due to Exxon. It is yet to be determined, however, whether Exxon knew or should have known of the payout at that time.
In a letter dated April 17, 2007, Exxon formally notified us of its election to convert a portion of its override to an after-payout working interest. In its letter Exxon acknowledges receipt of payment from us and the other working interest owners in the amount of $1.4 million representing escalated royalties from payout through November 2006. Exxon claimed a net balance due of $4.1 million (including interest) and demanded payment thereof within 30 days. Of that amount, our working interest share of the claim was approximately $1.7 million (including interest), with the other working interest owners of the well sharing their respective responsibility for the remaining balance. During May 2007, we, subject to a reservation of rights, remitted payments in the total amount of $3.0 million constituting the remaining principal amount alleged by Exxon to be due. All of the working interest owners in the State Lease 14589 #2 well have paid their proportionate share of the payments remitted to Exxon.
We intend to vigorously defend Exxons claims for additional monies, and to seek recoupment of any monies not due. On August 10, 2007 we filed and served on Exxon our Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Reconventional Demand (the Answer). In our Answer we include various defenses and arguments including our position that Exxon knew or should have known that payout of State Lease 14589 #2 well had occurred in our about September 2000 and that as a result, Exxons claims, or portions thereof, are barred. In the event we do not prevail in our defense of Exxons claims for additional monies, we have accrued funds that we estimate sufficient for our proportionate share of any amounts that may become due. Further, our outside attorneys have established support for us to collect the interest owners share of the interest claim either through cash calls, or failing that, offset rights from future production on the State Lease 14589 #2 well and other Lake Raccourci wells, if necessary. While the ultimate result of this dispute remains uncertain, we believe the result will not
37
have a material impact on our financial results.
Flohr Litigation Thomas M. Flohr d/b/a Emerging Markets Group v. International Business Associates Ltd. et al; Case No. 07 CV 2920 filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
In April 2007, Thomas M. Flohr d/b/a Emerging Markets Group (the Plaintiff) filed a complaint with the U.S. District Court in New York naming International Business Associates, Ltd. as First Defendant (IBA); International Business Associates Holdings Co., Ltd., our wholly owned subsidiary and others as Second Defendants; and us as a Third Defendant. In his complaint the Plaintiff alleged that all of the named Defendants are jointly and severally liable for damages that Plaintiff alleged are owed by the Defendants in relation to an August 10, 2004 fee agreement by and between the Plaintiff and Defendant IBA. The Plaintiff asserted damages in the principal amount of $176 thousand and demanded interest thereon in the amount of $18 thousand. We filed our response to the Plaintiffs complaint seeking dismissal of this action on various grounds. On June 13, 2007, the judge presiding over the dispute dismissed the Plaintiffs claim without prejudice to re-filing based on the mandatory arbitration clause contained in the fee agreement.
On June 23, 2007, we received a notice of dispute from the Plaintiff advising that Plaintiff intended to pursue resolution of this matter through arbitration. On October 11, 2007, we and the Plaintiff entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed mutual releases wherein all claims related to touching upon the August 10, 2004 fee Agreement are fully released in exchange for our payment of $112,500 to the Plaintiff. The resolution of this matter did not have a material impact on our financial results.
