PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - unaudited
For the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2013
(in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. 
Organization
 
Penn Virginia Corporation (“Penn Virginia,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and natural gas in various onshore regions of the United States. We have a geographically diverse asset base with active operations in Texas, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi. Our current operations and capital expenditures are substantially concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale. We also have operations in the Granite Wash, Haynesville Shale, Cotton Valley and Selma Chalk plays.

2.
Basis of Presentation
 
Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of our subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparation of these statements involves the use of estimates and judgments where appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Certain amounts for the 2012 period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The disclosures required by ASU 2013-02 are included in Note 11. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
  
Management has evaluated all activities of the Company, through the date upon which our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
Acquisitions

On April 24, 2013 (the “Date of Acquisition”), we acquired producing properties and undeveloped leasehold interests in the Eagle Ford Shale play (the “Acquisition”) from Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (“MHR”). The Acquisition was originally valued at $401 million with an effective date of January 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”). On the Date of Acquisition, we paid approximately $380 million in cash, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments related to the period from the Effective Date to the Date of Acquisition, and issued to MHR 10 million shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) with a fair value of $4.23 per share. See Note 11 for a description of the rights and obligations related to the Shares. Shortly thereafter, certain of our joint interest partners exercised preferential rights related to the Acquisition. We received approximately $21 million from the exercise of these rights, which was recorded as a decrease to our purchase price for the Acquisition.

We incurred $2.4 million of transaction costs associated with the Acquisition, including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees. These costs, as well as fees that we are paying to MHR for certain transition services, are included in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We accounted for the Acquisition by applying the acquisition method of accounting as of the Date of Acquisition. The initial accounting for the Acquisition as presented below is based upon preliminary information and was not complete as of the date our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. A final settlement, including the effect of any additional purchase price adjustments, has been scheduled for the end of August 2013 at which time we will have 60 days to complete an audit and propose any adjustments. Accordingly, adjustments to the initial accounting for the acquired net assets will likely be

7



completed during the fourth quarter of 2013 as we obtain additional information regarding the facts and circumstances that existed as of the Date of Acquisition.

The following table represents the preliminary fair values assigned to the net assets acquired as of the Date of Acquisition and the consideration transferred:

The fair values of the net assets acquired were measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to valuation of oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves, (ii) future operating and development costs, (iii) future commodity prices, (iv) future cash flows and (v) a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. Because many of these inputs are not observable, we have classified the initial fair value estimates as Level 3 inputs as that term is defined in U.S. GAAP.

The results of operations attributable to the Acquisition have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the Date of Acquisition. The following table presents unaudited summary pro forma financial information for the periods presented assuming the Acquisition and the related financing occurred as of January 1, 2012. The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been if the Acquisition had occurred as of this date, or the results of operations for any future periods.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, four customers accounted for $93.1 million, or approximately 48%, of our consolidated product revenues. The revenues generated from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $31.3 million, $21.9 million, $20.5 million and $19.4 million or 16%, 11%, 11% and 10% of the consolidated total, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, $28.2 million, or approximately 42% of our consolidated accounts receivable from customers related to these customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, three customers accounted for $78.3 million, or approximately 49% of our consolidated product revenues. The revenues generated from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $29.9 million, $30.9 million and $17.5 million or approximately 19%, 19% and 11% of the consolidated total, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, $16.3 million, or approximately 37% of our consolidated accounts receivable from customers related to these customers. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts owed to us by any of these customers.

5.
Derivative Instruments
 
We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to crude oil and natural gas price volatility as well as the volatility in interest rates attributable to our debt instruments. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges. The disclosures included herein incorporate the requirements of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities as amended by Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.
 
Commodity Derivatives
 
We utilize collars, swaps and swaptions, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are acceptable credit risks, to hedge against the variability in cash flows associated with anticipated sales of our future oil and gas production. While the use of derivative instruments limits the risk of adverse price movements, such use may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements.
 
The counterparty to a collar or swap contract is required to make a payment to us if the settlement price for any settlement period is below the floor or swap price for such contract. We are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price for any settlement period is above the ceiling or swap price for such contract. Neither party is required to make a payment to the other party if the settlement price for any settlement period is equal to or greater than the floor price and equal to or less than the ceiling price for such contract. A swaption contract gives our counterparties the option to enter into a fixed price swap with us at a future date. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is higher than or equal to the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the counterparty will exercise its option to enter into a fixed price swap at the swaption strike price for the term of the swaption, at which point the contract functions as a fixed price swap. If the forward commodity price for the term of the swaption is lower than the swaption strike price on the exercise date, the option expires and no fixed price swap is in effect.

We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil closing prices as of the end of the reporting period. The discounted cash flows utilize discount rates adjusted for the credit risk of our counterparties if the derivative is in an asset position and our own credit risk if the derivative is in a liability position.

Interest Rate Swaps
 
In February 2012, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to establish variable interest rates on approximately one-third of the outstanding obligation under our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”). In May 2012, we terminated this agreement and received $1.2 million in cash proceeds. As of June 30, 2013, we had no interest rate derivative instruments outstanding.

As of June 30, 2013, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $14.1 million. The contracts associated with this position are with six counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with three of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. We have neither paid to, nor received from, our counterparties any cash collateral in connection with our derivative positions. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts that may be owed to us by these counterparties.

Revolving Credit Facility
 
The revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) provides for a $350 million revolving commitment and an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $250 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver also includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is re-determined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. In May 2013, the borrowing base under the Revolver was increased from $276.2 million to $350 million. The next semi-annual redetermination, based on a review of our total proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves, is scheduled for November 2013. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions. The Revolver matures in September 2017. We had letters of credit of $3.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, our available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, as reduced by outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was $280.0 million.

Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (“Adjusted LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). The applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2013, the actual interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver was 1.75%.


12



The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio is defined in the Revolver to include, among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability and may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure defined in the Revolver, may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2013, 4.25 to 1.0 through June 30, 2014 and then 4.0 to 1.0 through maturity.

2016 Senior Notes
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we completed a tender offer and redemption (the “Tender Offer and Redemption”) for all of our outstanding 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Senior Notes”). We paid a total of $330.9 million including consent payments and accrued interest in connection with the Tender Offer and Redemption and recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The loss on extinguishment of debt includes non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes.

2019 Senior Notes
 
The 2019 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. Beginning in April 2015, we may redeem all or part of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price starting at 103.625% of the principal amount and reducing to 100% in June 2017 and thereafter. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

2020 Senior Notes

On April 24, 2013, we completed a private placement of $775 million of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Senior Notes”). In July 2013, we completed an exchange offer that resulted in the registration of all of the 2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes were priced at par and interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. Approximately $380 million of the net proceeds from the private placement, together with the Shares, were used to finance the Acquisition, including purchase price adjustments. The remaining net proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under the Revolver and to fund a portion of the Tender Offer and Redemption.

The guarantees provided by Penn Virginia, which is the parent company of all of our subsidiaries, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Revolver as well as those provided for the senior indebtedness described above are full and unconditional and joint and several. Substantially all of our consolidated assets are held by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The parent company and its non-guarantor subsidiaries have no material independent assets or operations. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company or any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries to obtain funds through dividends or other means, including advances and intercompany notes, among others.

Fair Value Measurements
 
We apply the authoritative accounting provisions for measuring fair value of both our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is an exit price representing the expected amount we would receive upon the sale of an asset or that we would expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.

Our financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosure consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, derivatives and long-term debt. As of June 30, 2013, the carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except the portion of long-term debt with fixed interest rates, approximated fair value.
 
The following table summarizes the fair value of our long-term debt with fixed interest rates, which is estimated based on the published market prices for these debt obligations, as of the dates presented:

Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one level of the fair value hierarchy to another level. In such instances, the transfer is deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the quarterly period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There were no transfers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.


15



We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values for the financial assets and liabilities described below:
Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for West Texas Intermediate crude oil and NYMEX Henry Hub gas closing prices as of the end of the reporting periods. We generally use the income approach, using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted value. Each of these is a level 2 input.
Assets of SERP: We hold various publicly traded equity securities in a Rabbi Trust as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.
Deferred compensation - SERP obligations: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain assets, including those held in the Rabbi Trust. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
 
The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements utilized in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are those attributable to the recognition and measurement of net assets acquired, the recognition and measurement of asset impairments and the initial determination of AROs. The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of recognizing and measuring net assets acquired and asset impairments include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, indicative sales prices for properties, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the amounts as level 3 inputs.
 
The determination of the fair value of AROs is based upon regional market and facility specific information. The amount of an ARO and the costs capitalized represent the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor after discounting the future cost back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using a rate commensurate with the risk, which approximates our cost of funds. Because these significant fair value inputs are typically not observable, we have categorized the initial fair value estimates as level 3 inputs.

10.    Commitments and Contingencies

Drilling and Completion Commitments
 
We have agreements to purchase oil and gas well drilling services from third parties with remaining terms of up to 16 months including certain drilling services agreements assumed by us in connection with the Acquisition. The well drilling agreements include early termination provisions that would require us to pay penalties if we terminate the agreements prior to the end of their original terms. The amount of penalty is based on the number of days remaining in the contractual term. As of June 30, 2013, the penalty amount would have been $11.1 million if we had terminated our agreements on that date.
 
Legal and Regulatory
 
We are involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that these claims will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. During 2010, we established a $0.9 million reserve for a litigation matter pertaining to certain properties that remains outstanding as of June 30, 2013. In addition to the reserve for litigation, we maintain a suspense account which includes approximately $1.7 million representing the excess of revenues received over costs incurred attributable to these properties. As of June 30, 2013, we also have AROs of approximately $6.2 million attributable to the plugging of abandoned wells.

_______________________
1 Includes dividends of $300.00 per share of 6% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “6% Preferred Stock”).
2 Includes the Shares, with a fair value of $4.23 per share, that were issued to MHR in connection with the Acquisition.
3 The Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) is entirely attributable to our defined benefit pension and postretirement health care plans. The changes in the balance of AOCL for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 represent reclassifications from AOCL to net periodic benefit expense, a component of General and administrative expenses, of $58 and $72 and are presented above net of taxes of $20 and $26.
4 Includes dividends of $0.1125 per share of common stock.

As discussed in Note 3, we issued the Shares to MHR in April 2013 as part of the consideration paid in connection with the Acquisition. In connection with the Shares issued to MHR, we entered into a Registration Rights, Lock-Up and Buy-Back Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and a Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement required us to file a resale registration statement, which was completed and declared effective as of May 20, 2013. In limited circumstances, MHR will have piggyback registration rights.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated, at MHR's election, to use up to 25% of the net proceeds of any public or private offering of our common stock after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to repurchase Shares. This buyback obligation will terminate on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement or, if earlier, the date upon which the Shares owned by MHR constitute less than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

Under the Standstill Agreement, MHR may not take certain actions intended to cause a change in control of us and has granted to us an irrevocable proxy to vote the Shares. The Standstill Agreement will terminate on April 24, 2016 or, if earlier, the date upon which the Shares owned by MHR constitute less than 10% of our outstanding common stock.

Share-Based Compensation

Our stock compensation plans (collectively, the “Stock Compensation Plans”) permit the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, common stock, deferred common stock units, restricted stock and restricted stock units to our employees and directors. We recognize compensation expense related to our Stock Compensation Plans in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

With the exception of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), all of the awards issued under our Stock Compensation Plans are classified as equity instruments because they result in the issuance of common stock on the date of grant, upon exercise or are otherwise payable in common stock upon vesting, as applicable. The compensation cost attributable to these awards is measured at the grant date and recognized over the applicable vesting period as a non-cash item of expense. Because the PBRSUs are payable in cash, they are considered liability-classified awards and are included in the Other liabilities caption on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation cost associated with the PBRSUs is measured at the end of each reporting period and recognized based on the period of time that has elapsed during each of the individual performance periods.

The following table summarizes our share-based compensation expense recognized for the periods presented:

Restructuring and Exit Activities
 
During 2012, we completed an organizational restructuring in conjunction with the sale of our natural gas assets in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. We terminated approximately 30 employees and closed our regional office in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. In addition, we have a contractual commitment for certain firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region that expires in 2022 and, as a result of the sale, we no longer have production to satisfy this commitment. While we intend to sell our unused firm transportation in the future to the extent possible, we recognized an obligation in 2012 representing the liability for estimated discounted future net cash outflows over the remaining term of the contract. The activity summarized below includes contractual payments on the obligation as well as the recognition of accretion expense.

The following table summarizes our restructuring and exit activity-related obligations and the changes therein as of and for the periods presented:

Restructuring charges are included in the General and administrative caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial charge for the firm transportation commitment was presented as a separate caption on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accretion of this obligation, net of any recoveries from the periodic sale of our contractual capacity, is charged as an offset to Other revenue.

The current portion of these restructuring and exit cost obligations is included in the Accounts payable and accrued liabilities caption and the noncurrent portion is included in the Other liabilities caption on our Condensed Consolidated Balance

Item 2
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Penn Virginia Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Penn Virginia,” “we,” “us” or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 1. All dollar amounts presented in the tables that follow are in thousands unless otherwise indicated.

Overview of Business
 
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas liquids, or NGLs, and natural gas in various onshore regions of the United States. We have a geographically diverse asset base with active operations in Texas, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi. Our current operations and capital expenditures are substantially concentrated in the Eagle Ford Shale. We also have operations in the Granite Wash, Haynesville Shale, Cotton Valley and Selma Chalk plays. As of December 31, 2012, we had proved oil and natural gas reserves of approximately 113.5 million barrels of oil equivalent, or MMBOE. In April 2013, we acquired proved reserves of approximately 12.0 MMBOE in connection the acquisition of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation's, or MHR, Eagle Ford Shale assets, referred to herein as the Acquisition. Our current operations consist primarily of the drilling of unconventional horizontal development wells in resource or unconventional plays.
 
We are currently focused on development and expansion in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. We also pursue select development drilling opportunities in the horizontal Granite Wash play in the Mid-Continent region through participation in wells drilled by our joint venture partner.

Key Developments

The following general business developments and corporate actions will have a significant impact on the financial reporting and disclosure of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows: (i) integrating the properties obtained through the Acquisition, (ii) drilling results in the Eagle Ford Shale and other plays, (iii) the tender offer and the redemption, or the Tender Offer and the Redemption, for our 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016, or 2016 Senior Notes (iv) the private placement and subsequent registration of $775 million of 8.5% Senior Notes due 2020, or 2020 Senior Notes, to finance the Acquisition and the Tender Offer and Redemption and (v) hedging a portion of our oil and natural gas production through calendar year 2015 to the levels permitted by our revolving credit facility, or Revolver, and our internal policies.

Acquisition of Magnum Hunter's Eagle Ford Shale Assets

On April 24, 2013, or the Date of Acquisition, we acquired producing properties and undeveloped leasehold interests in the Eagle Ford Shale play from MHR. The Acquisition was originally valued at $401 million with an effective date of January 1, 2013, or the Effective Date. On the Date of Acquisition, we paid approximately $380 million in cash, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments related to the period from the Effective Date to the Date of Acquisition, and issued to MHR 10 million shares of our common stock, or Shares, with a fair value of $4.23 per share. Shortly thereafter, certain of our joint interest partners exercised preferential rights related to the Acquisition. We received approximately $21 million from the exercise of these rights, which was recorded as a decrease to our purchase price for the Acquisition.

In connection with the Shares issued to MHR, we entered into a Registration Rights, Lock-Up and Buy-Back Agreement, or Registration Rights Agreement, and a Standstill Agreement, or Standstill Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement required us to file a resale registration statement, which was completed and declared effective as of May 20, 2013. In limited circumstances, MHR will have piggyback registration rights.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated, at MHR's election, to use up to 25% of the net proceeds of any public or private offering of our common stock after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to repurchase Shares. This buyback obligation will terminate on the first anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement or, if earlier, the date upon which the Shares owned by MHR constitute less than 5% of our outstanding common stock.

Under the Standstill Agreement, MHR may not take certain actions intended to cause a change in control of us and has granted to us an irrevocable proxy to vote the Shares. The Standstill Agreement will terminate on April 24, 2016 or, if earlier, the date upon which the Shares owned by MHR constitute less than 10% of our outstanding common stock.

The Acquisition included approximately 40,600 gross (17,700 net) mineral acres located in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas in areas adjacent to our current position in both counties. The acquired net assets also included working interests in 46 gross (22.1 net) producing wells and related accounts receivable and payable. At the time of the Acquisition, the estimated net oil and gas production for the acquired assets during 2013 was approximately 2,700 barrels of oil per day equivalent, or BOEPD. Based on MHR's third-party reserve engineering firm's year-end 2012 review of the acquired assets, proved reserves were approximately 12.0 MMBOE, 96 percent of which were oil and NGLs and 37 percent of which were proved developed.

Subsequent to the Acquisition, we have approximately 110,000 gross (62,000 net) acres, which to a large extent are contiguous and the majority of which are in the volatile oil window of the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 96,000 gross (55,000 net) acres are operated by us. Including those acquired in the Acquisition, we currently have a total of 139 gross (94.3 net) Eagle Ford Shale producing wells, with 15 gross (8.4 net) wells either completing or waiting on completion and five gross (2.1 net) wells being drilled through the first week of August 2013.

Drilling Results and Future Development Plans
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we drilled 28 gross (19.0 net) wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, all of which were successful. We also drilled one non-operated gross (0.3 net) well in the Granite Wash. Our Eagle Ford Shale production was approximately 11,526 net BOEPD during the three months ended June 30, 2013 with oil comprising approximately 76 percent, NGLs approximately 13 percent and natural gas approximately 11 percent. We have allocated approximately 92 percent of our anticipated capital expenditures during 2013 to activities in the Eagle Ford Shale.

Tender Offer and Redemption for the 2016 Senior Notes

In April 2013, we initiated the Tender Offer for any and all of the total $300 million principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes. Holders of approximately 58% of the $300 million total principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes outstanding tendered their 2016 Senior Notes. The total consideration payable for each $1,000 principal amount of those 2016 Senior Notes tendered was $1,065.34, which included a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2016 Senior Notes tendered. In April 2013, we paid a total of approximately $191 million, including accrued interest of $6.5 million for the 2016 Senior Notes tendered. In May 2013, we made an irrevocable election in connection with the Redemption to redeem the remaining 42% of the 2016 Senior Notes outstanding in accordance with the 2016 Senior Notes indenture. We paid a total of $1,061.31 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes, or approximately $140 million, including accrued interest of $5.3 million, in connection with the Redemption. We recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the Tender Offer and Redemption, including non-cash charges of $10.0 million attributable to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and the remaining debt discount associated with the 2016 Senior Notes.

Issuance of 2020 Senior Notes

On April 24, 2013, we completed a private placement of $775 million of the 2020 Senior Notes. In July 2013, we completed an exchange offer that resulted in the registration of all of the 2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes were priced at par and interest will be payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of our material subsidiaries, or Guarantor Subsidiaries. Approximately $380 million of the net proceeds from the private placement were used to finance the cash consideration for the Acquisition, including initial purchase price adjustments. The remaining net proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under the revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, and to fund a portion of the Tender Offer and the Redemption.

Commodity Hedging Activities
 
For the remainder of 2013, we have approximately 76 percent of our estimated oil production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $94.34 and $99.17 per barrel. For 2014, we have approximately 49 percent of our estimated oil production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $93.95 and $97.60 per barrel.

For the remainder of 2013, we have approximately 62 percent of our estimated natural gas production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $3.79 and $4.34 per MMBtu. For 2014, we have approximately 39 percent of our estimated natural gas production hedged at weighted-average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $4.17 and $4.50 per MMBtu. We have also hedged approximately 14 percent of our estimated natural gas production for 2015 at a weighted-average swap price of $4.50 per MMBtu.

Total production decreased marginally during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding period of 2012 due primarily to the effect of the sale of our Appalachian Basin natural gas properties in July 2012 and production declines in our East Texas and Mid-Continent regions. The effect of the sale of the Appalachian properties was approximately 318 thousand barrels of oil equivalent, or MBOE. The declines in production from our remaining natural gas properties were partially offset by an increase in oil, NGL and natural gas production attributable to our drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 64% of total production during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable to oil

24



and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 40% over the prior year period. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, our Eagle Ford Shale production represented approximately 60% of our total production as compared to approximately 34% from this play during the corresponding period of 2012.

As illustrated below, higher oil and NGL production volume coupled with improved natural gas prices were partially offset by the overall decline in oil and NGL prices and lower natural gas production volume attributable to the sale of our Appalachian properties. Included in the price variance for natural gas was approximately $0.8 million of favorable adjustments attributable to the change in prices associated with gas imbalances due to us from partners in the Mid-Continent region.

Effects of Derivatives
 
Our oil and gas revenues may change significantly from period to period as a result of changes in commodity prices. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge oil and gas prices. In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we received $2.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in cash settlements of oil and gas derivatives. The following table reconciles crude oil and natural gas revenues to realized prices, as adjusted for derivative activities, for the periods presented:

(Loss) Gain on Sales of Property and Equipment
 
In the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we recognized several individually insignificant gains on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well materials.
 
Other Income
 
Other income, which includes gathering, transportation, compression and water disposal fees and other miscellaneous operating income, net of marketing and related expenses, decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to accretion expense attributable to our stranded firm transportation obligation in the Appalachian region.

Production and ad valorem taxes increased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the recognition of approximately $4 million of credits in the 2012 period for severance tax rebates for certain horizontal and ultra-deep wells in Oklahoma and Texas. In addition, we are experiencing higher property and ad valorem taxes attributable to our increased activities in the Eagle Ford Shale in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties.

Recurring general and administrative expenses increased marginally due primarily to costs of $0.2 million attributable to certain transition services provided by MHR in connection with the Acquisition. Liability-classified share-based compensation is attributable to our performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs, which are payable in cash in three years from the date of grant upon achievement of specified market-based performance metrics. The 2013 period includes mark-to-market charges associated with both the 2013 and 2012 PBRSU grants. Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to stock options and restricted stock units, which represent non-cash expenses, increased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the recognition of expense on the 2013 grant date for certain awards as a result of the retirement eligibility of a certain officer. We also incurred transaction costs of $2.4 million associated with the Acquisition including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees.

Unproved leasehold amortization declined during the three months ended June 30, 2013 as costs related to successful Eagle Ford Shale wells were transferred to proved properties. Geological and geophysical costs increased during the 2013 period due primarily to the purchase of certain seismic data for the South Texas region. Delay rentals increased during the 2013 period due primarily to the increase in undeveloped leasehold acreage acquired in connection with the Acquisition.

The effect of lower overall production volumes on DD&A was more than offset by higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production. Our average DD&A rate increased due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our drilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale as well as lower natural gas reserves due to revisions determined as of the end of 2012.

Interest expense increased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to higher overall weighted-average debt outstanding and the effect of a change in the mix of outstanding debt to a larger proportion of fixed-rate debt with higher interest rates in the 2013 period as compared a larger proportion of Revolver borrowings at lower interest rates in the 2012 period.

We received cash settlements of $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Cash settlements during the 2012 period included $1.2 million in connection with the termination of our interest rate swap agreement. The decrease in realized and unrealized gains on commodity derivatives was due primarily to a substantially lower volume of natural gas production being hedged during the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period.

Other
 
Other income decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to higher interest income earned during the 2012 period.

Due to the operating losses incurred, we recognized an income tax benefit during both periods. The effective tax benefit rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 included a deferred tax asset valuation allowance due primarily to the inability to recognize tax benefits for certain state net operating losses. However, the 2013 period includes a deferred tax asset valuation allowance for all state net operating losses.

The decline in total production during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the corresponding period of 2012 was due primarily to the effect of the sale of our Appalachian Basin natural gas properties in July 2012 and production declines in our East Texas and Mid-Continent regions. The effect of the sale of the Appalachian properties was approximately 639 MBOE. The declines in production from our remaining natural gas properties were partially offset by an increase in oil, NGL and natural gas production attributable to our drilling activity in the Eagle Ford Shale. Approximately 61% of total production during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was attributable to oil and NGLs, which represents an increase of approximately 25% over the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our Eagle Ford Shale production represented approximately 54% of our total production as compared to approximately 31% from this play during the corresponding period of 2012.

As illustrated below, the effect of higher oil and NGL production volume coupled with improved natural gas prices more than offset the overall decline in oil and NGL prices and lower natural gas production volume attributable to the sale of our Appalachian properties. Included in the price variance for natural gas was approximately $0.6 million of favorable adjustments attributable to the change in prices associated with gas imbalances due to us from partners in the Mid-Continent region.

(Loss) Gain on Sales of Property and Equipment
 
In the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a loss on the assignment of certain properties in West Virginia associated with our 2012 sale of natural gas assets that was not completed until January 2013. In the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized a gain attributable to the sale of our remaining undeveloped acreage in Butler and Armstrong Counties, Pennsylvania. In addition, we recognized several individually insignificant gains on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well material during both periods.
 
Other Income
 
Other income, which includes gathering, transportation, compression and water disposal fees and other miscellaneous operating income, net of marketing and related expenses, decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to accretion expense attributable to our stranded firm transportation obligation in the Appalachian region partially offset by the gain on the sale of certain seismic data.

Production and ad valorem taxes increased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the recognition of approximately $4 million of credits in the 2012 period for severance tax rebates for certain horizontal and ultra-deep wells in Oklahoma and Texas. In addition, we are experiencing higher property and ad valorem taxes attributable to our increased activities in the Eagle Ford Shale in Gonzales and Lavaca Counties.

Recurring general and administrative expenses increased marginally due primarily to costs of $0.2 million attributable to certain transition services provided by MHR in connection with the Acquisition. Liability-classified share-based compensation is attributable to our PBRSUs. The 2013 period includes mark-to-market charges associated with both the 2013 and 2012 PBRSU grants. Equity-classified share-based compensation charges attributable to stock options and restricted stock units, which represent non-cash expenses, increased during the six months ended June 30, 2013 due primarily to the recognition of expense on the 2013 grant date for certain awards as a result of the retirement eligibility of a certain officer. We incurred transaction costs of $2.4 million associated with the Acquisition including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees.

Unproved leasehold amortization declined during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as costs related to successful Eagle Ford Shale wells were transferred to proved properties. Geological and geophysical costs increased during the 2013 period due primarily to the purchase of certain seismic data for the South Texas region. Delay rentals increased during the 2013 period due primarily to the increase in undeveloped leasehold acreage acquired in connection with the Acquisition.

The effect of lower overall production volumes on DD&A was more than offset by higher depletion rates associated with oil and NGL production. Our average DD&A rate increased due primarily to higher capitalized finding and development costs attributable to our drilling program in the Eagle Ford Shale as well as lower natural gas reserves due to revisions determined as of the end of 2012.

We received cash settlements of $5.8 million, all of which were attributable to commodity derivatives, during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $15.0 million, including $1.2 million attributable to the termination of an interest rate swap agreement, during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in realized and unrealized gains on commodity derivatives was due primarily to a substantially lower volume of natural gas production being hedged during the 2013 period as compared to the 2012 period.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Sources of Liquidity
 
Our business strategy contemplates capital expenditures in excess of our projected operating cash flows for 2013. Subject to the variability of commodity prices that impact our operating cash flows, anticipated timing of our capital projects and unanticipated expenditures such as acquisitions, we plan to fund our 2013 capital program with operating cash flows and borrowings under the Revolver. We have no debt maturities until September 2017 when the Revolver matures.

The Revolver provides for a $350 million revolving commitment, including a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolver has an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment by up to an additional $250 million upon receiving additional commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation, which is re-determined semi-annually, and the availability under the Revolver may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the borrowing base. In May 2013, the borrowing base under the Revolver was increased from $276.2 million to $350 million. The next semi-annual redetermination, based on a review of our total proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves, is scheduled for November 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, we had $280.0 million of unused borrowing capacity available to us under the Revolver. The borrowing capacity is determined by reducing the current commitment of $350 million by outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

The following table summarizes our borrowing activity under the Revolver during the periods presented:

Our revenues are subject to significant volatility as a result of changes in commodity prices. Accordingly, we actively manage the exposure of our operating cash flows to commodity price fluctuations by hedging the commodity price risk for a portion of our expected production, typically through the use of collar, swap and swaption contracts. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the instruments employed depend on our cash flow at risk, available hedge prices and our operating strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our commodity derivatives portfolio provided $5.3 million of cash inflows related to lower than anticipated prices received for our oil production and $0.5 million of cash inflows attributable to lower than anticipated prices received for our natural gas production.
 
For the remainder of 2013, we have hedged approximately 76 percent of our estimated crude oil production, at weighted average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $94.34 and $99.17 per barrel. In addition, we have hedged approximately 62 percent of our estimated natural gas production for 2013, at weighted average floor/swap and ceiling prices of between $3.79 and $4.34 per MMBtu.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities
  
Higher realized cash flows from higher operating margin oil and NGL operations, despite the absence of production from the divested Appalachian assets, resulted in an increase in our cash flows from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period during 2012. We also had lower amounts paid for interest during the 2013 period due to lower average outstanding Revolver balances. These increases were partially offset by lower settlements from our commodity derivatives portfolio during the 2013 period as compared to the corresponding period during 2012 due primarily to a significantly lower volume of natural gas production subject to hedges. We also paid transaction costs, including advisory, legal, due diligence and other professional fees in connection with the Acquisition during the 2013 period. There were no similar costs paid during the 2012 period. Restructuring and exit costs paid were higher during the 2013 period as compared to the corresponding period of 2012 due primarily to ongoing contractual payments for firm transportation capacity in the Appalachian region subsequent to our 2012 sale of assets in that region.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Through June 30, 2013, we paid approximately $395 million for the Acquisition. This amount includes: (i) approximately $380 million, including approximately $19 million of initial purchase price adjustments, paid to MHR at settlement, (ii) approximately $36 million, net paid subsequent to the to Date of Acquisition to settle obligations assumed in the Acquisition, and (iii) the receipt of approximately $21 million of proceeds received from certain of our joint interest partners upon the exercise of their preferential rights with respect to the Acquisition.

37



Capital expenditures were substantially higher during the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the corresponding period during 2012 due primarily to the higher level of drilling activity and pipeline construction attributable to our Eagle Ford Shale program.

Proceeds from sales of non-core properties and other assets were received during both the 2013 and 2012 periods. The amounts received during the 2013 period were attributable primarily to the assignment of certain properties in West Virginia, associated with our 2012 sale of natural gas assets that was not completed until January 2013. The amounts received during the 2012 period were attributable to the sale of our remaining undeveloped acreage in Butler and Armstrong Counties, Pennsylvania.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

In April 2013, we issued the the 2020 Senior Notes which were used to fund the Acquisition and a portion of the Tender and Redemption of all of our outstanding 2016 Senior Notes. We incurred and paid costs associated with the issuance of the 2020 Notes as well as costs associated with an amendment to our Revolver. Cash flows from financing activities for both the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include borrowings under the Revolver. The 2013 period includes dividends paid on our 6% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, or the 6% Preferred Stock, and the 2012 period includes dividends paid on our common stock.


38



Financial Condition
 
As of June 30, 2013, we had $280.0 million of unused borrowing capacity available to us under the Revolver. The borrowing capacity is determined by reducing the current commitment of $350 million by outstanding borrowings of $67 million and outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million. The Revolver includes certain financial covenants as described below that could limit borrowings under the Revolver to amounts below the current commitment and borrowing base. The indentures for our senior notes include an incurrence test which could potentially limit our ability to issue additional debt if our interest coverage ratio, as defined in the indentures, is less than 2.25 times consolidated EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure. Our actual interest coverage ratio for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2013 was 3.47 times.
 
Debt and Credit Facilities and Preferred Stock Financing
 
Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from LIBOR, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities, or Adjusted LIBOR, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.500% to 2.500%) or (ii) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0%, and, in each case, plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.500% to 1.500%). In each case, the applicable margin is determined based on the ratio of our outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. Commitment fees are charged at 0.375% to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver depending on our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity. As of June 30, 2013, the actual interest rate applicable to the Revolver was 1.75%.
 
The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries, or the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The obligations under the Revolver are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our proved oil and gas reserves and a pledge of the equity interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
 
2019 Senior Notes. The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019, or the 2019 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2019 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

2020 Senior Notes. The 2020 Senior Notes, which were issued at par in April 2013, bear interest at an annual rate of 8.5% payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The 2020 Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness, including the Revolver, to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
  
6% Preferred Stock. The annual dividend on each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is 6.00% per annum on the liquidation preference of $10,000 per share and is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each of January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. We may, at our option, pay dividends in cash, common stock or a combination thereof.

Each share of the 6% Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the liquidation preference of $10,000 divided by the conversion price, which is initially $6.00 per share and is subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion rate is equal to 1,666.67 shares of our common stock for each share of the 6% Preferred Stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20 percent relative to the 2012 common stock offering price of $5.00 per share. The 6% Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us or the holders at any time. At any time on or after October 15, 2017, we may, at our option, cause all outstanding shares of the 6% Preferred Stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock at the then-applicable conversion price if the closing sale price of our common stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable conversion price for a specified period prior to conversion. If a holder elects to convert shares of the 6% Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of certain specified fundamental changes, we may be obligated to deliver an additional number of shares above the applicable conversion rate to compensate the holder for lost option value.


39



Covenant Compliance

The Revolver requires us to maintain certain financial covenants as follows:
 
Total debt to EBITDAX, each as defined in the Revolver, for any four consecutive quarters may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 for periods through December 31, 2013, 4.25 to 1.0 for periods through June 30, 2014 and 4.0 to 1.0 for periods through maturity in 2017. EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP measure, generally means net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, exploration expenses, impairments and other non-cash charges or losses.
The current ratio, as of the last day of any quarter, may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0. The current ratio is generally defined as current assets to current liabilities. Current assets and current liabilities attributable to derivative instruments are excluded. In addition, current assets include the amount of any unused commitment under the Revolver.

As of June 30, 2013 and through the date upon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The following table summarizes the actual results of our financial covenant compliance under the Revolver as of and for the period ended June 30, 2013:

Results
Total debt to EBITDAX
 
< 4.5 to 1
 
3.5 to 1
Current ratio
 
> 1.0 to 1
 
2.4 to 1
 
In the event that we would be in default of a covenant under the Revolver, we could request a waiver of the covenant from our bank group. Should the banks deny our request to waive the covenant requirement, the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver would become payable on demand and would be reclassified as a component of current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Revolver imposes limitations on dividends as well as limits our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make certain loans, acquisitions and investments, make any material change to the nature of our business, or enter into a merger or sale of our assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in our subsidiaries.
 
Future Capital Needs and Commitments

In 2013, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding any additional acquisitions, of up to approximately $510 million. The capital expenditures for 2013 will be funded primarily by operating cash flows and borrowings under the Revolver. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend in any area based on available opportunities, industry conditions, cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of capital.
 
Based on expenditures to date and forecasted activity for the remainder of 2013, we expect to allocate capital expenditures as follows: Eagle Ford Shale (approximately 92 percent) and Mid-Continent region and all other areas (approximately eight percent). This allocation includes approximately 86 percent for drilling and completions, 10 percent for leasehold acquisition and four percent for pipeline, gathering, seismic, facilities and other projects. We anticipate that we will allocate substantially all of our capital expenditures to oil and NGL projects.

 
Environmental Matters
 
Extensive federal, state and local laws govern oil and natural gas operations, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. Numerous governmental departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws that are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations, such as plugging of abandoned wells. As of June 30, 2013, we have recorded asset retirement obligations of $6.2 million attributable to these activities. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. These laws, rules and regulations affect our operations, as well as the oil and gas exploration and production industry in general. We believe that we

40



are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws or regulations or the adoption of new environmental laws or regulations, including any significant limitation on the use of hydraulic fracturing, have the potential to adversely affect our operations.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if the actual results differ from these estimates and judgments. Our most critical accounting estimates that involve the judgment of our management were fully disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 New Accounting Standards
 
Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). The disclosures required by ASU 2013-02 are included in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
 
 Interest Rate Risk
 
All of our long-term debt instruments, with the exception of the Revolver, have fixed interest rates. Our interest rate risk is attributable to our borrowings under the Revolver, which is subject to variable interest rates. As of June 30, 2013, we had borrowings of $67 million under the Revolver at an interest rate of 1.75%. Assuming a constant borrowing level of $67 million under the Revolver, an increase (decrease) in the interest rate of one percent would result in an increase (decrease) in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million on an annual basis.
 
Commodity Price Risk

We produce and sell crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. As a result, our financial results are affected when prices for these commodities fluctuate. Our price risk management programs permit the utilization of derivative financial instruments (such as collars, swaps and swaptions) to seek to mitigate the price risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices as they relate to a portion of our anticipated production. The derivative instruments are placed with major financial institutions that we believe are of acceptable credit risk. The fair values of our derivative instruments are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas. We have not typically entered into derivative instruments with respect to NGLs, although we may do so in the future.
 
As of June 30, 2013, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $14.1 million. The contracts associated with this position are with six counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with three of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. We neither paid nor received collateral with respect to our derivative positions. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts that may be owed to us by these counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk if counterparties to our derivative asset positions fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts would be equal to the fair value of the contracts as of June 30, 2013.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported net commodity derivative gains of $0.8 million. We have experienced and could continue to experience significant changes in the estimate of derivative gains or losses recognized due to fluctuations in the value of our derivative instruments. Our results of operations are affected by the volatility of unrealized gains and losses and changes in fair value, which fluctuate with changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. These fluctuations could be significant in a volatile pricing environment.  See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further description of our price risk management activities.
