NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES —

   Basis of Presentation

     In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Comstock Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Comstock” or the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and the related results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although Comstock believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Comstock’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

     The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily an indication of the results expected for the full year.

     These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comstock and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

   Marketable Securities

     As of September 30, 2011 the Company held 1,956,000 shares of Stone Energy Corporation common stock which were reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as marketable securities. As of September 30, 2011, the cost basis of the marketable securities was $18.0 million and the estimated fair value was $31.7 million, after recognizing an unrealized gain after income taxes of $8.9 million. The Company does not exert influence over the operating and financial policies of Stone Energy Corporation, and has classified its investment in these shares as an available-for-sale security in the consolidated balance sheets. Available-for-sale securities are accounted for at fair value, with any unrealized gains and unrealized losses not determined to be other than temporary reported in the consolidated balance sheet within accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company utilizes the specific identification method to determine the cost of any securities sold. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company sold 100,000 and 1,841,000 shares, respectively, of Stone Energy Corporation for $3.4 million and $49.1 million, respectively. Comstock realized a gain before income taxes on these sales of $2.5 million

(Continued)

and $32.2 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold 520,000 shares of Stone Energy Corporation for $10.5 million and realized gains before income taxes of $5.7 million on these sales.

   Property and Equipment

     The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Costs incurred to acquire oil and gas leasehold are capitalized. Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed and any impairment in value is charged to exploration expense. The costs of unproved properties which are determined to be productive are transferred to oil and gas properties and amortized on an equivalent unit-of-production basis. An impairment charge of $9.8 million related to certain leases that were expected to expire prior to the Company conducting drilling operations was recognized in exploration expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

     The Company also assesses the need for an impairment of the costs capitalized for its oil and gas properties on a property or cost center basis. The Company recognized impairment charges related to its oil and gas properties of $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. There were no impairment charges related to oil and gas properties recognized during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

   Reserve for Future Abandonment Costs

     Comstock’s asset retirement obligations relate to future plugging and abandonment expenses on its oil and gas properties and related facilities disposal. The following table summarizes the changes in Comstock’s total estimated liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2011			2010
	(In thousands)
Beginning future abandonment costs	$	6,674		$	6,561
Accretion expense		282			290
New wells placed on production and changes in estimates		289			190
Liabilities settled		(49	)		(66	)
Future abandonment costs — end of period	$	7,196		$	6,975

   Revenue Recognition and Gas Balancing

     Comstock utilizes the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas revenues whereby revenues are recognized at the time of delivery based on the amount of oil or natural gas sold to purchasers. Revenue is typically recorded in the month of production based on an estimate of the Company’s share of volumes produced and prices realized. Revisions to such estimates are recorded as actual results are known. The amount of oil or natural gas sold may differ from the amount to which the Company is entitled based on its revenue interests in the properties. The Company did not have any significant imbalance positions at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

   Derivative Financial Instruments

     The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

   Stock-Based Compensation

     Comstock accounts for employee stock-based compensation under the fair value method. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the award vesting period. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $3.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expenses related to awards of restricted stock or stock options to its employees and directors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $11.0 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expenses related to awards of restricted stock or stock options.

     As of September 30, 2011, Comstock had 1,634,450 shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding at a weighted average grant date fair value of $35.18 per share. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock grants of $23.9 million as of September 30, 2011 is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company awarded a total of 26,000 shares of restricted stock to its independent directors which will vest three years from the date of the grant. The grant date fair value was $26.52 per share for the 2011 awards.

     As of September 30, 2011, Comstock had outstanding options to purchase 203,150 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $36.64 per share. All of the stock options were exercisable and there were no unrecognized costs related to the options as of September 30, 2011. The Company received $1.3 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. No stock options were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

   Income Taxes

     The following is an analysis of consolidated income tax expense:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011		2010
				(In thousands)
Current provision (benefit)	$	(512	)	$	(382	)	$	57	$	(199	)
Deferred provision		3,972			174			6,593		131
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	3,460		$	(208	)	$	6,650	$	(68	)

COMSTOCK RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)

     Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences or benefits of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates. The difference between the Company’s customary rate of 35% and the effective tax rate on income before income taxes is due to the following:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Tax at statutory rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%
Tax effect of:
Nondeductible stock-based compensation		41.9	%		(26.6	%)		12.6	%		(11.9	%)
State income taxes, net of federal benefit		(6.7	%)		(3.1	%)		(2.1	%)		9.0	%
Net operating loss carryback adjustments		—	%		—	%		—	%		(38.7	%)
Other		2.4	%		(1.0	%)		1.0	%		(0.5	%)
Effective tax rate		72.6	%		4.3	%		46.5	%		(7.1	%)

     The Company’s non-deductible stock-based compensation has the effect of increasing the Company’s annualized effective tax rate in the case of an income tax provision or decreasing the effective tax rate in the case of an income tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 reflects the benefit from a decrease in non-deductible compensation which resulted from the early retirement of one of the Company’s executives. The 2010 effective tax rate was based on an expected income tax benefit for the full year and reflects a benefit from adjustments related to refund claims resulting from net operating loss carrybacks.

     The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years subsequent to December 31, 2006 remain subject to examination. The Company’s income tax returns in major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination from various periods subsequent to December 31, 2005. State tax returns in two state jurisdictions are currently under review. The Company has evaluated the preliminary findings in these jurisdictions and believes it is more likely than not that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on its financial statements. The Company currently believes that all other significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its other significant income tax positions and deductions would be sustained under audit or the final resolution would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Therefore the Company has not established any significant reserves for uncertain tax positions.

   Fair Value Measurements

     As of September 30, 2011, the Company held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value. These included cash held in bank accounts and marketable securities comprised of shares of Stone Energy Corporation common stock. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The estimated fair value for the items in the Company’s financial statement were based on Level 1 inputs where the inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

   Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is determined without the effect of any outstanding potentially dilutive stock options and diluted earnings per share is determined with the effect of outstanding stock options that are potentially dilutive. Unvested share-based payment awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered to be participatory securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were determined as follows:

(2) LONG-TERM DEBT —

     At September 30, 2011, long-term debt was comprised of:

	(In thousands)
Bank credit facility	$	150,000
8⅜% Senior Notes due 2017		296,774
7¾% Senior Notes due 2019		300,000
	$	746,774

     The Company has a $850.0 million bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent. The credit facility is a five-year revolving credit commitment that matures on November 30, 2015. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by substantially all of Comstock’s assets and is guaranteed by all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The credit facility is subject to borrowing base availability, which is redetermined semiannually based on the banks’ estimates of the Company’s future net cash flows of oil and natural gas properties. The borrowing base may be affected by the performance of Comstock’s properties and changes in oil and natural gas prices. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. As of September 30, 2011, the borrowing base was $500.0 million, $350.0 million of which was available. Effective October 31, 2011 the borrowing base was increased to $550.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at Comstock’s option at either (1) LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or (2) the base rate (which is the higher of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or 30 day LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus 0.75% to 1.75%. A commitment fee of 0.5% is payable annually on the unused borrowing base. The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $50.0 million, limit the amount of consolidated debt that Comstock may incur and limit the Company’s ability to make certain loans and investments. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a ratio of current assets, including availability under the bank credit facility, to current liabilities of at least one-to-one and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011.

     On March 14, 2011, Comstock issued $300.0 million of senior notes (the “2019 Notes”) pursuant to an underwritten public offering. The 2019 Notes are due on April 1, 2019 and bear interest at 7¾%, which is payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1. The 2019 Notes are unsecured obligations of Comstock and are guaranteed by all of the Company’s material subsidiaries. Comstock also has $300.0 million of 8⅜% senior notes outstanding which mature on October 15, 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). Interest on the 2017 Notes is payable semiannually on each April 15 and October 15. The 2017 Notes are also unsecured obligations of Comstock and are guaranteed by all of Comstock’s material subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantors are 100% owned and all of the guarantees are full and conditional and joint and several. As of September 30, 2011, Comstock had no material assets or operations which are independent of its subsidiaries. There are no restrictions on the ability of Comstock to obtain funds from its subsidiaries through dividends or loans.

     On January 1, 2011, Comstock had $172.0 million in principal amount of 6⅞% senior notes outstanding due on March 1, 2012 (the “2012 Notes”). In 2011 Comstock redeemed all of the 2012 Notes for $172.4 million. The early extinguishment of the 2012 Notes resulted in a loss of $1.1 million which is included in interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. This loss is comprised of the premium paid for the redemption of the 2012 Notes, the costs incurred related to the tender offer, and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2012 Notes.

(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES —

     From time to time, Comstock is involved in certain litigation that arises in the normal course of its operations. The Company records a loss contingency for these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     In connection with its exploration and development activities, the Company holds contracts for drilling rigs that will expire at various dates through June 2015. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had commitments for contracted drilling services of $56.1 million. The Company has also entered into agreements for well completion services through June 30, 2012 which require minimum future payments totaling $4.5 million.

     The Company has entered into natural gas transportation agreements to support its production operations in North Louisiana through July 2019. Maximum commitments under these transportation agreements as of September 30, 2011 totaled $37.5 million.

Revenues —

     In the third quarter of 2011, our oil and natural gas sales increased $39.7 million (50%) to $119.4 million from $79.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase was related to higher production in the quarter offset in part by lower natural gas prices. Our production of 26.2 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2011 was 53% greater than the 17.2 Bcfe that we produced in the third quarter of 2010. Production in the third quarter of 2011, which averaged 285 MMcfe per day, was 8% higher than our average daily production in the second quarter of 2011 of 263 MMcfe per day. Our average realized natural gas price decreased by 4% and our average realized oil price increased by 35% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010.

     Our oil and natural gas sales increased $43.4 million (16%) to $319.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $276.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was also the result of an increase in natural gas production offset in part by weaker natural gas prices. Our production in the first nine months of 2011 of 70.1 Bcfe increased 25% as compared to the 56.0 Bcfe that we produced in the first nine months of 2010. Our average realized natural gas price decreased by 10% while our average realized oil price increased by 39% in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to the first nine months of 2010.

17

     The higher production level in 2011 is mainly attributable to our drilling activity in the Haynesville and Bossier shale program and the resumption of completion activities which were limited during 2010 due to shortages in third party completion services available to us. Production from our Haynesville and Bossier shale properties in East Texas and North Louisiana averaged 200 MMcf per day in the third quarter of 2011, 136% higher than production of 85 MMcf per day in the third quarter of 2010. Production from our Haynesville and Bossier shale properties of 170 MMcf per day for the first nine months of 2011 was 82% higher than production of 93 MMcf per day in the first nine months of 2010. Our Haynesville and Bossier shale wells that were drilled and waiting on completion decreased from 35 (23.4 net to us) at December 31, 2010 to 21 (8.9 net to us) at September 30, 2011.

Costs and Expenses —

     Production taxes decreased $3.0 million to $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2011 from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. Production taxes also decreased by $7.3 million to $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2011 from $9.5 million in the first nine months of 2010. Our Haynesville and Bossier shale wells, which comprise a larger percentage of our production, qualify for exemption from certain production taxes. The exempt wells together with the lower natural gas prices for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 account for the decrease.

     Gathering and transportation costs for the third quarter of 2011 increased $4.0 million to $8.1 million as compared to $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. Gathering and transportation costs for the first nine months of 2011 increased $8.0 million to $20.3 million as compared to $12.3 million in the first nine months of 2010. The increases mainly reflect the transportation costs relating to increased production from our Haynesville and Bossier shale wells.

     Our lease operating expenses decreased by $0.5 million to $12.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $13.0 million for the third quarter of 2010. As a result of the growth in our production and the lower lease operating expenses, our lease operating expense per Mcfe produced decreased by 37% to $0.47 per Mcfe for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.75 per Mcfe for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our lease operating expenses for the first nine months of 2011 of $36.5 million decreased from our lease operating expenses of $41.2 million for the first nine months of 2010. Our lease operating expense per Mcfe produced has decreased by 29% to $0.52 per Mcfe for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $0.73 per Mcfe for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decreases in lease operating expenses are primarily due to the sale of our higher operating cost properties in Mississippi in the fourth quarter of 2010.

     Exploration costs of $0.4 million and $10.1 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, primarily relate to impairments on certain of our unevaluated properties where we no longer expect to conduct drilling operations prior to the expiration of the lease term. Exploration costs of $1.2 million and $2.5 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, primarily related to geological and geophysical costs incurred.

     Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) increased $30.7 million (66%) to $77.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $46.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily the result of our higher production in 2011 and an increase in our DD&A rate. Our DD&A per equivalent Mcf produced increased $0.24 (9%) to $2.95 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.71 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. DD&A for the first nine months of 2011 increased $48.9 million (30%) to $212.5 million from $163.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our DD&A rate per Mcfe for the first nine months of 2011 of $3.02 increased $0.11 (4%) from the DD&A rate of $2.91 for the first nine months of 2010. The higher DD&A rates per Mcfe mainly reflect the costs incurred during 2011 to complete the wells that were drilled but not completed during 2010.

     General and administrative expense, which is reported net of overhead reimbursements, of $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 decreased from general and administrative expenses of $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2010. Included in general and administrative expense is stock-based compensation of $3.9 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the first nine months of 2011, general and administrative

18

expense decreased to $26.0 million from the $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Included in general and administrative expense is stock-based compensation of $11.0 million and $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in stock-based compensation and general and administrative expenses in 2011 is primarily due to the benefit of forfeited stock awards related to the early retirement of one of our executive officers in the first quarter of 2011 as well as the lower cost of our stock-based compensation in 2011.

     Interest expense increased $2.9 million to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2011 from interest expense of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily related to the increase in debt outstanding during 2011 including the issuance of $300.0 million in senior notes in March 2011. We had average borrowings of $129.4 million outstanding under our bank credit facility during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $54.9 million of average borrowings outstanding during the third quarter of 2010. We capitalized interest of $3.4 million and $3.5 million on our unevaluated properties during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense increased $8.1 million to $30.7 million for the first nine months of 2011 from interest expense of $22.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. We had $87.5 million in average borrowings outstanding under our bank credit facility during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to $8.6 million of average borrowings outstanding in the first nine months of 2010. We capitalized interest of $10.0 million and $9.0 million on our unevaluated properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes $1.1 million for the early retirement of our 6⅞% senior notes which were due in March 2012.

     During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 we recognized gains of $2.5 million and $32.2 million, respectively, from sales of 100,000 and 1.8 million shares of common stock in Stone Energy Corporation held as marketable securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 we recognized a gain of $5.7 million from the sale of approximately 0.5 million shares of Stone Energy Corporation common stock.

     We had a $3.5 million provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 2011 consisted of a provision of $6.7 million as compared to a benefit for income taxes of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2011 was a provision of 46.5% as compared to our effective tax rate of a benefit of 7.1% for the first nine months of 2010. Income tax expense in 2011 increased from 2010 mainly due to our higher income in 2011.

     We reported net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 or 3¢ per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $4.7 million, or 10¢ per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We reported net income of $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 16¢ per diluted share as compared to net income of $1.0 million or 2¢ per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increases in earnings are primarily due to our higher natural gas production combined with the gains we realized from sales of marketable securities in 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Funding for our activities has historically been provided by our operating cash flow, debt or equity financings or asset dispositions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our primary sources of funds were net cash flow from operations of $217.5 million, $293.4 million of net proceeds from our senior notes offering, net borrowings of $105.0 million under our bank credit facility and proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $49.1 million. Our net cash flow from operating activities decreased $31.7 million (13%) in the first nine months of 2011 to $217.5 million from $249.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating cash flow is primarily due to working capital changes between the periods including the receipt of an income tax refund of $48.8 million in 2010.

     Our primary needs for capital, in addition to funding our ongoing operations, relate to the acquisition, development and exploration of our oil and gas properties and the repayment of our debt. In the first nine months of 2011, we incurred

19

capital expenditures of $496.1 million primarily for our development and exploration activities. We also spent $172.4 million in 2011 to retire $172.0 million in senior notes. We funded our 2011 capital program with cash flow provided by operating activities, proceeds from sales of marketable securities and borrowings, including the issuance of senior notes in March 2011.

     The following table summarizes our capital expenditure activity, on an accrual basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Leasehold costs	$	52,621	$	130,434
Development drilling		360,217		200,955
Exploratory drilling		77,607		56,237
Other development		5,547		5,326
		495,992		392,952
Other		143		11,475
	$	496,135	$	404,427

     We expect to spend approximately $575.0 million for developmental and exploratory drilling during 2011 and an additional $125.0 million to acquire additional acreage. We expect to fund our development and exploration activities with operating cash flow, proceeds from asset sales including sales of our marketable securities and borrowings including the issuance of senior notes in March 2011.

     The timing of most of our capital expenditures is discretionary because we have no material long-term capital expenditure commitments except for commitments for contract drilling services. Consequently, we have a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the level of our capital expenditures as circumstances warrant. As of September 30, 2011, we have contracted for the services of drilling rigs through June 2015 at an aggregate cost of $56.1 million and minimum future commitments for well completion services of $4.5 million through June 30, 2012. In addition, we have maximum commitments of $37.5 million to transport natural gas through July 2019. We have obligations to incur future payments for dismantlement, abandonment and restoration costs of oil and gas properties. These payments are currently estimated to be incurred primarily after 2016. We record a separate liability for the fair value of these asset retirement obligations which totaled $7.2 million as of September 30, 2011.

     We have a $850.0 million bank credit facility with Bank of Montreal, as the administrative agent. The bank credit facility is a five-year revolving credit commitment that matures on November 30, 2015. Indebtedness under the bank credit facility is secured by all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and is guaranteed by all of our wholly owned subsidiaries. The bank credit facility is subject to borrowing base availability, which is redetermined semiannually based on the banks’ estimates of the future net cash flows of our oil and natural gas properties. The borrowing base may be affected by the performance of our properties and changes in oil and natural gas prices. The determination of the borrowing base is at the sole discretion of the administrative agent and the bank group. As of September 30, 2011, the borrowing base was $500.0 million, $350.0 million of which was available. Effective October 31, 2011 the borrowing base was increased to $550.0 million. Borrowings under the bank credit facility bear interest, based on the utilization of the borrowing base, at our option at either (1) LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.75% or (2) the base rate (which is the higher of the administrative agent’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or 30 day LIBOR plus 1.0%) plus 0.75% to 1.75%. A commitment fee of 0.5% is payable on the unused borrowing base. The bank credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the payment of cash dividends in excess of $50.0 million, limit the amount of consolidated debt that we may incur and limit our ability to make certain loans and investments. The only financial covenants are the maintenance of a ratio of current assets, including the availability under the bank credit facility, to current liabilities of at least one-to-one and maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2011.

     On March 14, 2011, we issued $300.0 million of senior notes (the “2019 Notes”) pursuant to an underwritten public offering. The 2019 Notes are due on April 1, 2019 and bear interest at 7³/4%, which is payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1. We also have $300.0 million of 8⅜% senior notes outstanding which are due on October 15, 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). Interest on the 2017 Notes is payable semiannually on each April 15 and October 15. Our senior notes are unsecured obligations and are guaranteed by all of our material subsidiaries.

     On January 1, 2011, we had $172.0 million in principal amount of 6⅞% senior notes outstanding due on March 1, 2012 (the “2012 Notes”). During the first quarter of 2011, we redeemed all of the 2012 Notes for $172.4 million plus accrued interest. The early extinguishment of the 2012 Notes resulted in a loss of $1.1 million which is comprised of the premium paid for the redemption of the 2012 Notes, the costs incurred related to the tender offer, and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the 2012 Notes.

     We believe that our cash flow from operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our bank credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and future growth as contemplated under our current business plan. However, if our plans or assumptions change or if our assumptions prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to seek additional capital. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital, or if such capital is available, that we will be able to obtain it on acceptable terms.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Oil and Natural Gas Prices

     Our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of natural gas and oil. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties due to a variety of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Factors influencing oil and natural gas prices include the level of global demand for crude oil, the foreign supply of oil and natural gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil exporting countries, weather conditions that determine the demand for natural gas, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall economic conditions. It is impossible to predict future oil and natural gas prices with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in natural gas and oil prices may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, and may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas reserves that we can produce economically. Any reduction in our natural gas and oil reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain capital for our exploration and development activities. Similarly, any improvements in natural gas and oil prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. Based on our oil and natural gas production for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a $1.00 change in the price per Mcf of natural gas would have changed our cash flow by approximately $66.7 million and a $1.00 change in the price per barrel of oil would have resulted in a change in our cash flow for such period by approximately $0.8 million.

Interest Rates

     At September 30, 2011, we had total long-term debt of $746.8 million. Of this amount, $296.8 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 8⅜% with an effective interest rate of 8⅝% and $300.0 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 7³/4%. We had $150.0 million outstanding under our bank credit facility, which bears interest at a fluctuating rate that is linked to LIBOR or the corporate base rate, at our option. Any increases in these interest rates can have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flow. Based on borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2011, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would change our interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 by approximately $1.1 million.

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     As of September 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
