PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – unaudited

For the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2011

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

1.Organization

Penn Virginia Corporation (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged primarily in the development, exploration and production of natural gas and oil in various domestic onshore regions including Texas, Appalachia, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi.

2.    Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of its subsidiaries.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  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, 2010.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  Certain amounts for the 2010 period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

There were neither any new accounting standards issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, nor any accounting standards pending adoption that would have a significant impact on our financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

Management has evaluated all activities of the Company through the date upon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and concluded that, except for additional leasehold acquisitions in the Eagle Ford Shale (see Note 3), the execution of an agreement to sell substantially all of our assets in the Arkoma Basin (see Note 3) and the completion of a new credit agreement (“Revolver”)(see Note 7), no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.Acquisitions andDivestitures

Property Acquisitions

Eagle Ford Property Acquisitions

During 2011, we acquired approximately 6,500 net Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales County, Texas for approximately $24 million. The acreage acquired in these transactions is in close proximity to the Eagle Ford Shale acreage that we acquired during 2010. We are the operator of the acquired acreage with an average working interest of approximately 86%.

Divestitures

PVG Unit Offering

In March and April 2010, we sold 11.25 million common units of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (“PVG”) for proceeds of $199.1 million, net of offering costs. At the time, the transaction reduced our limited partner interest in PVG to 22.6% and resulted in a $70.2 million increase to noncontrolling interests and a $82.1 million increase to additional paid-in capital, net of income tax effects. Because we maintained a controlling financial interest in PVG, the proceeds received from these transactions were reported as cash flows from financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2010, we completed the sale of our remaining PVG common units for $139.1 million, net of offering costs. Immediately prior to the closing of the June offering, we contributed 100% of the membership interests in PVG’s general partner to PVG, thereby relinquishing control of PVG. As a result of this divestiture, we recognized a gain of $49.6 million, net of income tax effects of $35.1 million, which is reported in the “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax” caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Because we no longer held any interests in PVG, the proceeds received from this transaction were reported as cash flows from investing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and we deconsolidated PVG from our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations and cash flows attributable to PVG for the 2010 period are presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes as discontinued operations.

4

Oil and Gas Properties

In July 2011, we executed an agreement to sell substantially all of our Arkoma Basin assets for approximately $30 million, excluding transaction costs and subject to customary purchase and sale adjustments. The transaction will be effective July 1, 2011 and we anticipate that it will close during the third quarter of 2011. The properties to be sold include approximately 73,000 net acres and proved reserves of approximately 42.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent. The carrying value of these properties as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $101 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment of approximately $71 million with respect to these assets.

In January 2010, we completed the sale of all of our oil and gas properties in the Gulf Coast region (southern Texas and Louisiana) for cash proceeds of $23.2 million, net of transaction costs and certain purchase and sale adjustments, and the exchange of certain oil and gas properties located in the Gwinville field in northern Mississippi valued at $8.2 million.

4.Accounts Receivable

The following table summarizes our accounts receivable by type as of the periods presented:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Revenue customers	$	51,050		$	44,783
Joint interest partners		16,707			23,526
Other		314			4,442
		68,071			72,751
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts		(292	)		(373	)
	$	67,779		$	72,378

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, four customers accounted for $84.0 million and $60.4 million, or approximately 60% and 51%, respectively, of our total consolidated product revenues.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $28.3 million and $31.1 million, or approximately 42% and 43%, respectively, of our consolidated accounts receivable, including joint interest billings, related to these customers. No significant uncertainties exist related to the collectability of amounts owed to us by these customers.

5.Derivative Instruments

We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to natural gas and crude oil price volatility as well as interest rates attributable to our debt instruments. We are not engaged in the trading of derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The derivative instruments, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are acceptable credit risks, generally take the form of costless collars and swaps. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges.

Commodity Derivatives

We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments using third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil as of the end of the reporting period and 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.

As of June 30, 2011, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $14.3 million.  The contracts associated with this position are with four counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with two 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.

Revolving Credit Facility

We replaced our previous revolving credit facility with the Revolver in August 2011. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving credit facility and matures in August 2016. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation and the availability may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments or the borrowing base. We have the option to increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolver by up to an additional $300 million, not to exceed the borrowing base, upon the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders. The initial borrowing base is set at $400 million, subject to redetermination on a semi-annual basis.

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 (the “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 will be charged at 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the facility at current utilization levels and increasing to 0.500% based upon utilization levels in excess of 50% of the borrowing base.

The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio, as defined in the Revolver to include among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability, may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 and 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 reducing to 4.0 to 1.0 after June 30, 2013.

The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (“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.

We had no amounts outstanding under the previous revolving credit facility at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2011 other than letters of credit of $1.4 million which are still outstanding. As of June 30, 2011, our available borrowing capacity under the previous revolving credit facility, as reduced by such letters of credit and limited by our financial covenants, was approximately $160 million. Our initial available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, as reduced by our letters of credit and limited by the financial covenants described above, is approximately $264 million.

2016 Senior Notes

The 2016 Senior Notes were originally sold at 97% of par equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The 2016 Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375% payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Beginning in June 2013, we may redeem all or part of the 2016 Senior Notes at a redemption price beginning at 105.188% of the principal amount and reducing to 100.0% in June 2015 and thereafter. The 2016 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 obligations under the 2016 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

2019 Senior Notes

The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable semi-annually in arrears 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 beginning at 103.625% of the principal amount and reducing to 100.0% 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 obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Convertible Notes

The 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (“Convertible Notes”) bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50% which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash up to the principal amount thereof and shares of our common stock, if any, in respect of the excess conversion value, based on an initial conversion rate of 17.3160 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.75 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior in right of payment to any of our senior indebtedness and to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and equal in right of payment to any of our future unsecured senior subordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes rank senior in right of payment to any of our future junior subordinated indebtedness and structurally rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness of our Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Convertible Notes are represented by a liability component which is included in long-term debt, net of discount, and an equity component representing the convertible feature which is included in additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes for all periods presented was 8.5%.

In connection with a tender offer completed in April 2011, the Company repurchased $225.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes for $233.0 million, representing a premium of $35 per $1,000 principal amount. The tender offer resulted in the extinguishment of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes. The tender offer was funded from the net proceeds of the 2019 Senior Notes offering.

As a result of the tender offer, we recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which $24.2 million was charged to earnings and the remaining $1.7 million was charged directly to shareholders’ equity. The loss charged to earnings was determined as follows:

Cash paid to repurchase principal:
Allocated to liability component	$	231,331
Allocated to equity component		1,632
	$	232,963
Carrying value of liability component tendered:
Principal amount of Convertible Notes tendered	$	225,085
Pro rata share of original issue discount		(13,429	)
	$	211,656
Loss on extinguishment of debt:
Excess of liability component over carrying value	$	19,675
Write-off of pro rata share of debt issuance costs		2,147
Non-cash portion of loss on extinguishment		21,822
Transaction costs and fees paid		2,416
Pre-tax loss on extinguishment	$	24,238

The following table summarizes the amounts recognized as components of interest expense attributable to the Convertible Notes for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Contractual interest expense	$	421	$	2,587	$	3,009	$	5,175

Amortization of debt issuance costs		55		310		389		641
	$	794	$	4,714	$	5,663	$	9,425

In connection with the original sale of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (“Note Hedges”) with respect to shares of our common stock with affiliates of certain of the underwriters of the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedges cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the net shares of our common stock that would be deliverable to converting noteholders in the event of a conversion of the Convertible Notes.

We also entered into separate warrant transactions (“Warrants”), whereby we sold to the Option Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 3,982,680 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $74.25 per share. Upon exercise of the Warrants, we will deliver shares of our common stock equal in value to the excess of the then market price over the strike price of the Warrants.

If the market value per share of our common stock at the time of conversion of the Convertible Notes exceeds the strike price of the Note Hedges, the Note Hedges entitle us to receive from the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount) based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market price of our common stock at the time of exercise of the Warrants exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, we will owe the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount), not offset by the Note Hedges, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Warrants.

9.    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 to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.  We have followed consistent methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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, 2011, 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 tables summarize the fair value of our long-term debt with fixed interest rates, which is estimated based on the published market prices for the same or similar issues as of the periods presented:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value		Value		Value
10.375% Senior Notes due 2016	$	330,000	$	293,009	$	335,712	$	292,487

Commodity derivative liabilities - current		(388	)		-			(388	)		-
Totals	$	19,811		$	(508	)	$	20,319		$	-

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values:

• Publicly traded equity securities: We hold various publicly traded equity securities as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

• Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil 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.

• Interest rate swaps: We determine the fair values of our interest rate swaps using an income approach valuation technique that connects future cash flows to a single discounted value. We estimate the fair value of the swaps based on published interest rate yield curves as of the date of the estimate. Each of these is a level 2 input.

• Deferred compensation: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain publicly traded equity securities. The fair values of these obligations are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements include the fair value of proved properties and tubular inventory and well materials for purposes of impairment testing and the initial determination of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”). The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of impairment testing include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, 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.

12

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.

In addition to these non-recurring fair value measurements, we utilized fair value measurements in the determination of the loss on the extinguishment of approximately 98% our Convertible Notes. In connection with that determination, we were required to allocate the cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes to its liability and equity components. Furthermore, the allocation to the liability component was based on the fair value of a comparable debt instrument that has no conversion feature. The residual amount of cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes was allocated to the equity component.

10.        Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Our most significant commitments consist of operating lease rentals for equipment and office space, the purchase of oil and gas well drilling services and capacity utilization under firm transportation service agreements, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Contingencies - 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 or results of operations. During 2010, we established a $0.9 million reserve for a litigation matter and a $0.5 million reserve for a sales and use tax audit contingency. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we have recorded AROs of $7.3 million attributable to the plugging of abandoned wells.

12.        Share-Based Compensation

Our 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.  Generally, stock options granted under our stock compensation plans vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year. Common stock and deferred common stock units granted under our stock compensation plans are vested immediately, and we recognize compensation expense related to those grants on the grant date.  Restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under our stock compensation plans vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year. We recognize compensation expense related to our stock compensation plans in the General and administrative expenses caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

	$	2,013	$	1,668	$	3,809	$	4,689

13.Restructuring Activities

During 2009 and 2010, we implemented an organization restructuring in connection with our transformation to a pure play development, exploration and production company. The restructuring resulted in the termination of approximately 30 employees and the transfer of certain corporate and division operations functions from our former Kingsport, Tennessee location to our Houston, Texas and Pittsburgh and Radnor, Pennsylvania locations.  We incurred special termination benefit costs, relocation costs and other incremental costs associated with staffing and expanding our office locations.

2 For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 0.1 million potentially dilutive securities, including the Convertible Notes, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, had the effect of being anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

17.    Discontinued Operations

Prior to June 2010, we indirectly owned partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (“PVR”), a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2001. Our ownership interests in PVR were held principally through our general and limited partner interests in PVG. During June 2010, we disposed of our remaining ownership interests in PVG and, indirectly, our interests in PVR.

Income from discontinued operations represents the results of operations of PVG, which include the results of operations of PVR. Previously, the results of operations of PVG and PVR were presented as our coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream segments. The table below reflects the results of operations of PVG for the periods presented.

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,” the “Company,” “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 primarily in the development, exploration and production of natural gas and oil in various domestic onshore regions.  We have a geographically diverse asset base with core areas of operations in Texas, Appalachia, the Mid-Continent and Mississippi regions of the United States.  As of December 31, 2010, we had proved natural gas and oil reserves of approximately 942 Bcfe. Our operations include the drilling of both unconventional and development opportunities, as well as exploratory prospects.

The primary development play types that we are currently focused on include: (i) the Eagle Ford Shale play in South Texas and (ii) the horizontal Granite Wash play in the Mid-Continent. We are also drilling exploratory wells in the Marcellus Shale play in Appalachia to determine whether our leasehold acreage position there will support a development program.

Key Developments

Through the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following general business developments and corporate actions had an impact on the financial reporting and disclosure of our results of operations and financial position: (i) drilling results in the Eagle Ford Shale, Marcellus Shale and Granite Wash plays, (ii) entrance into a new credit facility, (iii) execution of an agreement to sell Arkoma Basin assets, (iv) the offering and sale of $300 million of our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019, or 2019 Senior Notes, and the tender offer to repurchase our 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, or Convertible Notes, and (v) acquiring properties in the Eagle Ford Shale play. A discussion of these key developments follows:

Drilling Results and Future Development

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we drilled a total of 20.8 net wells, including 9.2 net wells in the Eagle Ford Shale, 4.3 net wells in the Marcellus Shale and 7.3 net wells in the Mid-Continent region, primarily in the Granite Wash.

Six of the Eagle Ford Shale wells, in which we have an approximate 83% working interest, have been completed and in June were producing an aggregate of 1,740 barrels of oil per day, or BOPD, and 0.33 million cubic feet of natural gas, or MMcf, per day on a net basis. As of July 29, 2011 we have completed 12 Eagle Ford Shale wells and our production is estimated at 5,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day on a net basis.  Our natural gas midstream service provider recently connected our Eagle Ford Shale wells to its pipeline and processing facilities resulting in the recognition of sales revenue associated with natural gas liquids, or NGLs, and residue gas production. The natural gas associated with these wells is expected to yield approximately 150 barrels of NGLs per MMcf. We expect to continue drilling in this region for the remainder of 2011 and beyond. We recently extended our agreement with a hydraulic fracturing services contractor to provide these services in the Eagle Ford Shale, as well as other plays in East Texas and Oklahoma through July 2012. During the second half of 2011, we have allocated approximately $142 million for development drilling capital expenditures primarily in the Eagle Ford Shale.

We completed three horizontal test wells in the Marcellus Shale located in the central portion of our approximately 35,000 net acreage position in Potter and Tioga counties, Pennsylvania. These wells resulted in an average rate that ranged from 1.7 to 2.7 MMcf per day over a 72-hour test period. We expect that the wells will be connected to a pipeline in September 2011. We will monitor long-term production to determine if the reserves can support a development program in this immediate area. We are also evaluating alternative engineering techniques with respect to drilling and completion activities in this relatively undeveloped geological area. During the second half of 2011, we plan to begin testing the eastern portion of our acreage, which is comprised of approximately 20,000 net acres.

In the Mid-Continent region, we successfully completed 4.6 net development wells in the Granite Wash. However, our exploratory program resulted in 3 dry holes (2.6 net) at an aggregate cost of $18.5 million. We do not plan any further exploratory activities in the Mid-Continent region during 2011. We plan to continue with our Granite Wash development program in this region, primarily operated by our partners.

Completion of a New Credit Facility

In August 2011, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement, or Revolver. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving commitment, including a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The initial borrowing base is set at $400 million and will be redetermined semi-annually, the next being scheduled in October 2011. There is an accordion feature that allows us to increase the commitment up to the lower of the borrowing base or $600 million upon additional commitments from one or more lenders. The financial covenant that determines the permitted leverage ratio (net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDAX, as defined in the Revolver) increased to 4.5 through June 30, 2013, after which it will be 4.0.

The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries, or 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 will mature in August 2016.

Disposition of Arkoma Basin Properties

In July 2011, we executed an agreement for the sale of substantially all of our Arkoma Basin assets for approximately $30 million excluding transaction costs and subject to customary purchase and sale adjustments. The transaction will be effective July 1, 2011 and we anticipate that it will close during the third quarter of 2011. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment of approximately $71 million with respect to these assets. Upon the closing of the transaction, the borrowing base under the Revolver will decrease by $20 million to $380 million.

19

Senior Note Offering and Tender Offer to Repurchase Convertible Notes

In April 2011, we completed the offering of our 2019 Senior Notes. Total proceeds received from the offering were $293.5 million, net of underwriting and debt issuance costs. We used $237.1 million of the proceeds to repurchase approximately 98% of our Convertible Notes plus accrued interest, and we have a total of $4.9 million (principal amount) of Convertible Notes currently outstanding. We used the remainder of the proceeds to provide working capital for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

Property Acquisitions

During 2011, we acquired approximately 6,500 net Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales County, Texas for approximately $24 million. This acreage is in close proximity to the Eagle Ford Shale acreage that we acquired during 2010. We are the operator of the acquired acreage with an average working interest of approximately 86%.

Production

The following tables set forth a summary of our total and daily production volumes by geographical region for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable			Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
	(MMcfe)							(MMcfe per day)
Texas		4,224		2,618		1,606			46.4		28.8		17.7			61	%
Appalachia		2,251		2,591		(340	)		24.7		28.5		(3.7	)		(13	)%

Mississippi		1,697		1,764		(67	)		18.6		19.4		(0.7	)		(4	)%
Total production		11,699		10,475		1,224			128.6		115.1		13.5			12	%

Approximately 24% of production on an equivalent basis in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was attributable to oil and NGLs, an 85% increase compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The shift in production mix reflects our focus on emerging oil and liquids-rich plays in Eagle Ford Shale in Texas and the Mid-Continent region. Our Eagle Ford Shale production came on line during the first quarter of 2011 and significantly ramped up during the latter portion of the second quarter. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, our Eagle Ford Shale production represented approximately 16% of our total production in Texas and 6% of our total production. Our natural gas midstream service provider connected our Eagle Ford Shale wells to its pipeline and processing facilities in June 2011 resulting in the recognition of sales revenue associated with NGL and residue gas production.

Product Revenues and Prices

The following tables set forth a summary of our revenues and prices per Mcfe by geographical region for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable			Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			2011		2010		(Unfavorable)
								($ per Mcfe)
Texas	$	30,860	$	12,390	$	18,470		$	7.31	$	4.73	$	2.57

Total revenues	$	73,009	$	52,356	$	20,653		$	6.24	$	5.00	$	1.24

As illustrated below, higher oil and NGL production volume coupled with improved oil and NGL pricing were the significant factors for increasing revenues. In addition, the current period results include revenue of $4.3 million received upon settlement of a revenue audit claim relating to a prior period. The following table provides an analysis of the change in our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010:

	Revenue Variance Due to
	Volume			Price		Total
Natural gas	$	(1,120	)	$	601	$	(519	)

NGL		6,181			4,318		10,499
	$	10,304		$	10,350	$	20,653

Effects of Derivatives

As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge against fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices. We received $4.1 million and $8.8 million in net cash settlements from commodity derivatives in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Property and Equipment

During both the 2011 and 2010 periods, we recognized several individually insignificant gains and losses on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well materials.

Other Income

Other income decreased primarily as a result of lower gathering revenues during the 2011 period.

Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes certain of our operating expenses per Mcfe for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Lease operating	$	0.92	$	0.87	$	(0.05	)		(5	)%
Gathering, processing and transportation		0.37		0.32		(0.05	)		(16	)%
Production and ad valorem taxes		0.24		0.30		0.06			19	%
General and administrative		1.11		1.51		0.40			27	%
General and administrative excluding share-based
compensation and restructuring charges		0.93		0.95		0.02			2	%
Depreciation, depletion and amortization		2.82		3.06		0.24			8	%

Lease Operating

Lease operating expense increased on an absolute basis and a per-unit basis in the 2011 period due to higher maintenance and compression costs as well as higher workover costs incurred across the Company. In addition, certain other costs, including water disposal, were generally higher commensurate with higher production volumes during the 2011 period.

Gathering, Processing and Transportation

Gathering, processing and transportation charges increased during the 2011 period due to overall higher production volumes as well as higher processing costs associated with NGLs. The production of NGLs during the 2011 period represents a significantly larger proportion of the total production volume compared to the 2010 period.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

On an absolute basis, production and ad valorem taxes decreased during the 2011 period due primarily to a production tax settlement with the State of Oklahoma offset partially by the effects of higher production volumes. As a percentage of product revenue, production and ad valorem taxes decreased to 3.9% during the 2011 period from 5.9% during the 2010 period.

General and Administrative

The following table sets forth the components of general and administrative expenses for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Recurring general and administrative expenses	$	10,889	$	9,989	$	(900	)		(9	)%
Share-based compensation		2,013		1,668		(345	)		(21	)%
Restructuring expenses		52		4,170		4,118			99	%
	$	12,954	$	15,827	$	2,873			18	%

Recurring general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits charges offset partially by lower insurance costs. Share-based compensation charges increased during the 2011 period due primarily to a change in the timing of the grant of certain awards such that the second quarter of 2011 reflects two grants while the 2010 period includes only one. Organization restructuring expenses during the 2010 period include termination benefits and office and employee relocation costs as well as a $3.5 million charge related to the assignment of the lease of our former Kingsport, Tennessee office facility. Certain costs, primarily employee relocation expenses, continue to be incurred during 2011.

Exploration

The following table sets forth the components of exploration expenses for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Dry hole costs	$	2,116	$	-	$	(2,116	)	NM
Geological and geophysical		4,302		4,065		(237	)		(6	)%
Unproved leasehold		11,966		4,435		(7,531	)		(170	)%
Other, primarily delay rentals		984		1,041		57			5	%
	$	19,368	$	9,541	$	(9,827	)		(103	)%

The increase includes higher amortization of unproved leaseholds due primarily to the effect of significant acquisitions during 2010. Dry hole costs incurred during the 2011 period are due primarily to a well in the Mid-Continent region.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A)

The following table sets forth the components of DD&A and the nature of the variances for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change

Higher depletion during the 2011 period is commensurate with higher production volumes while the decrease in depreciation is primarily the result of the disposition of certain corporate assets during the prior year in connection with the 2010 organization restructuring. Our average depletion rate decreased to $2.70 per Mcfe for the 2011 period from $2.89 per Mcfe for the 2010 period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin assets which was triggered by the expected disposition of these high-cost gas properties in the third quarter of 2011. In July 2011, we executed an agreement to sell these properties.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes the components of our total interest expense for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Favorable

	$	14,143		$	13,321		$	(822	)		(6	)%

The issuance of the 2019 Senior Notes at 7.25%, offset by the repurchase of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes with an effective interest rate at 8.5%, added over $88 million net principal amount of debt outstanding. Accordingly, interest expense increased moderately due to higher average amounts of debt outstanding partially offset by lower effective interest rates. Capitalized interest was higher during the 2011 period due to higher carrying values on eligible capital projects.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The repurchase in April 2011 of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt comprised of non-cash charges for the excess of cash paid that was allocated to the liability component over the carrying value plus the write-off of a pro rata share of debt issuance costs, as well as incremental transaction costs and fees paid in cash.

Derivatives

The following table summarizes the components of our derivative income for the periods presented:

Cash received for settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $5.0 million compared to $9.1 million during the second quarter of 2010.

25

Other

Other income decreased during the 2011 period because the higher interest income earned on higher average cash balances was more than offset by gains on the sale of non-operating investments recognized during the 2010 period.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 35.8% compared to 38.4% for the 2010 period. Due to operating losses incurred during the second quarter of 2011, we recognized an income tax benefit. In addition, the effective tax rate for the 2011 period includes a deferred tax asset valuation allowance due primarily to the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain state net operating losses.

Discontinued Operations

Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations

In June 2010, we completed the sale of all of our remaining interest in Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., or PVG, for $139.1 million net of offering costs and contributed 100% of the membership interests in PVG’s general partner to PVG, thereby relinquishing control of PVG. As a result of this divestiture, we recognized a gain of $49.6 million, net of income tax effects of $35.1 million. Final sale adjustments were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Production

The following tables set forth a summary of our total and daily production volumes by geographical region for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable			Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable

Total production		23,870		20,813		3,057			131.9		115.0		16.9			15	%

Approximately 22% of total production on an equivalent basis in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was attributable to oil and NGLs, a 47%  increase compared to the corresponding period in 2010. The shift in production mix reflects our focus on emerging oil and liquids-rich plays in the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas and the Mid-Continent region. Oil and NGL production comprised over 31% and 36% of our total production in Texas and the Mid-Continent region through the first half of 2011. Our Eagle Ford Shale production came on line during the first quarter of 2011 and significantly ramped up during the latter portion of the second quarter. We anticipate that this shift in production mix will continue as an increasing proportion of our development plans is focused on liquids plays.

Product Revenues and Prices

The following tables set forth a summary of our revenues and prices per Mcfe by geographical region for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable			Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable

As illustrated below, higher production volumes coupled with improved oil and NGL pricing were the significant factors for increasing revenues. However, the overall increase was substantially offset by lower natural gas prices. The following table provides an analysis of the change in our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010:

	Revenue Variance Due to

Effects of Derivatives

As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments to hedge against fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices. We received $10.9 million and $17.8 million in cash settlements from commodity derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Gain on Sale of Property and Equipment

During both the 2011 and 2010 periods, we recognized several individually insignificant gains on the sale of property, equipment, tubular inventory and well materials.

Other Income

Other income decreased primarily as a result of lower gathering revenues during the 2011 period and the effect of a compression service settlement during the 2010 period.

Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes certain of our operating expenses per Mcfe for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Lease operating	$	0.88	$	0.86	$	(0.02	)		(3	)%
Gathering, processing and transportation		0.35		0.31		(0.04	)		(11	)%
Production and ad valorem taxes		0.33		0.35		0.02			7	%
General and administrative		1.10		1.48		0.38			26	%
General and administrative excluding share-based
compensation and restructuring charges		0.94		0.99		0.05			5	%
Depreciation, depletion and amortization		2.84		2.99		0.15			5	%

Lease Operating

Lease operating expense increased on an absolute basis in the 2011 period due to higher maintenance and compression costs as well as higher workover costs incurred across the Company. In addition, certain other costs, including water disposal, were generally higher commensurate with higher production volumes during the 2011 period.

Gathering, Processing and Transportation

Gathering, processing and transportation charges increased during the 2011 period due to overall higher production volumes as well as higher processing costs associated with NGLs. The production of NGLs during the 2011 period represents a significantly larger proportion of the total production volumes compared to the 2010 period.

Production and Ad Valorem Taxes

On an absolute basis, production and ad valorem taxes increased commensurate with the higher production volumes during the 2011 period. As a percentage of product revenue, production and ad valorem taxes decreased to 5.6% during the 2011 period from 6.2% during the 2010 period due primarily to a production tax settlement with the State of Oklahoma.

29

General and Administrative

The following table sets forth the components of general and administrative expenses for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Recurring general and administrative expenses	$	22,427	$	20,516	$	(1,911	)		(9	)%
Share-based compensation		3,809		4,689		880			19	%
Restructuring expenses		70		5,647		5,577			99	%
	$	26,306	$	30,852	$	4,546			15	%

Recurring general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher compensation and employee benefits charges offset partially by lower occupancy costs resulting from the organization restructuring that was substantially completed during 2010. In addition, professional fees and consulting charges decreased in the 2011 period. Share-based compensation charges decreased during the 2011 period due to a smaller participant base following the organization restructuring and a smaller number of awards that vested upon grant due to retirement eligibility. Organization restructuring expenses during the 2010 period include termination benefits and office and employee relocation costs as well as a $3.5 million charge related to the assignment of the lease of our former Kingsport, Tennessee office facility.

Exploration

The following table sets forth the components of exploration expenses for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable
	2011		2010		(Unfavorable)			% Change
Dry hole costs	$	18,524	$	27	$	(18,497	)	NM

	$	48,916	$	15,570	$	(33,346	)		(214	)%

The increase in dry hole costs is due primarily to three wells in the Mid-Continent region. The increase in amortization of unproved leaseholds is due primarily to significant acquisitions during 2010. Geological and geophysical costs reflect a larger exploration program in the 2011 period compared to the 2010 period.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A)

The following table sets forth the components of DD&A and the nature of the variances for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Favorable

	Production			Rates		Total
Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010	$	(9,128	)	$	3,383	$	(5,745	)

Higher depletion during the 2011 period is commensurate with higher production volumes while the decrease in depreciation is primarily the result of the disposition of certain corporate assets during the prior year in connection with the 2010 organization restructuring. Our average depletion rate decreased to $2.73 per Mcfe for the 2011 period from $2.81 per Mcfe for the 2010 period.

	$	71,071	$	1,124	$	(69,947	)		NM

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment of our Arkoma Basin assets which was triggered by the expected disposition of these high-cost gas properties in the third quarter of 2011. In July 2011, we executed an agreement to sell these properties.

Other

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded an initial loss on the disposition of our Gulf Coast properties in January 2010. Final purchase and sale adjustments were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes the components of our total interest expense for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Favorable
	2011			2010			(Unfavorable)			% Change
Interest on borrowings and related fees	$	23,867		$	21,487		$	(2,380	)		(11	)%

Other, net		-			2			2			(100	)%
	$	27,627		$	26,992		$	(635	)		(2	)%

The issuance of the 2019 Senior Notes at 7.25%, offset by the repurchase of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes with an effective interest rate at 8.5%, added over $88 million net principal amount of debt outstanding. Accordingly, interest expense increased moderately due to higher average amounts of debt outstanding partially offset by lower effective interest rates. Capitalized interest was higher during the 2011 period due to higher carrying values on eligible capital projects.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The repurchase in April 2011 of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt comprised of non-cash charges for the excess of cash paid that was allocated to the liability component over the carrying value plus the write-off of a pro rata share of debt issuance costs, as well as incremental transaction costs and fees paid in cash.

Derivatives

The following table summarizes the components of our derivative income for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Favorable
	2011			2010			(Unfavorable)			% Change
Oil and gas derivative unrealized derivative gain (loss)	$	(3,572	)	$	7,527		$	(11,099	)		(147	)%
Oil and gas derivative realized gain		10,877			17,825			(6,948	)		(39	)%

	$	8,329		$	29,297		$	(20,968	)		(72	)%

Cash received for settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $11.8 million compared to $17.5 million during the comparable period during 2010.

Other

Other income decreased during the 2011 period because the higher interest income earned on higher average cash balances was more than offset by gains on the sale of non-operating investments recognized during the 2010 period.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 35.6% compared to 38.2% for the 2010 period. Due to operating losses incurred during the first six months of 2011, we recognized an income tax benefit. In addition, the effective tax rate for the 2011 period includes a deferred tax asset valuation allowance due primarily to the inability to recognize a tax benefit for certain state net operating losses.

Discontinued Operations

The following table presents a summary of results of operations from discontinued operations for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010
Revenues	$	-	$	303,206
Income from discontinued operations before taxes	$	-	$	36,832

	$	-	$	33,482

1 Determined by applying the effective tax rate attributable to discontinued operations to the income from discontinued operations less noncontrolling interests that are fully attributable to PVG's operations.

Gain on Sale of Discontinued Operations

In June 2010, we completed the sale of all of our remaining interest in PVG for $139.1 million net of offering costs and contributed 100% of the membership interests in PVG’s general partner to PVG thereby relinquishing control of PVG. As a result of this divestiture, we recognized a gain of $49.6 million, net of income tax effects of $35.1 million. Final sale adjustments were recorded during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We are currently meeting our capital expenditures and working capital funding requirements with a combination of operating cash flows and proceeds from non-core asset sales. Our business strategy for the remainder of 2011 includes capital expenditures in excess of our anticipated operating cash flows. Subject to the variability of commodity prices that impact our operating cash flows, anticipated timing of our capital projects, the timing and magnitude of non-core asset sales and unanticipated expenditures such as acquisitions, we plan to fund the second half of our 2011 capital program with cash on hand, operating cash flows, proceeds from non-core asset sales, borrowings from our Revolver and supplemental issue of equity, as necessary.

As we continue to focus our 2011 development opportunities, primarily in liquids and oil-rich plays, including the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas, we continually assess our portfolio of properties with respect to maximizing our returns. Accordingly, we may consider selling certain non-core properties in order to redeploy our investments consistent with our current and longer-term objectives. We recently announced the execution of an agreement to sell our Arkoma Basin assets for approximately $30 million.

We replaced our previous revolving credit facility with the Revolver in August 2011. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving credit facility and matures in August 2016. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation and the availability may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments or the borrowing base. We have the option to increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolver by up to an additional $300 million, not to exceed the borrowing base, upon the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders. The initial borrowing base is set at $400 million and will be redetermined on a semi-annual basis. Upon closing of the Arkoma sale transaction, the borrowing base under the Revolver will decrease by $20 million to $380 million. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions and includes a $20 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit.

We had no amounts outstanding under the previous revolving credit facility at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2011 other than letters of credit of $1.4 million which are still outstanding. As of June 30, 2011, our available borrowing capacity under the previous revolving credit facility, as reduced by such letters of credit and limited by our financial covenants, was approximately $160 million. Our initial available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, as reduced by our letters of credit and limited by the financial covenants described below, is approximately $264 million.

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 through the use of derivatives, typically costless collar and swap contracts. The level of our hedging activity and duration of the instruments employed depend upon our cash flow at risk, available hedge prices and our operating strategy. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our commodity derivatives portfolio provided $11.2 million of cash inflows to offset lower than anticipated prices received for our current year natural gas production and resulted in payments of $0.3 million attributable to higher than anticipated prices received for our current year crude oil production. For the remainder of 2011, we have hedged approximately 59% of our estimated natural gas production, at a weighted average floor/swap price of $5.17 per MMBtu. In addition, we have hedged approximately 14% of our estimated crude oil production for the remainder of 2011, at weighted average floor and ceiling/swap prices of between $96.86 and $106.61 per barrel.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consisted of $211.1 million of capital expenditures, offset partially by the proceeds from the disposition of certain properties and equipment as well as an insurance settlement attributable to damages from a fire at one of our warehouse facilities. The 2010 period includes the receipt of proceeds from the sale of our remaining interests in PVG in June 2010, our former Gulf Coast properties in January 2010 and other non-core assets as an offset to our 2010 capital expenditures. As discussed below, in 2011 we anticipate total capital expenditures of approximately $370 million, exclusive of any additional acquisitions.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the 2011 period includes the issuance of $300 million of 2019 Senior Notes, offset substantially by the related transaction costs combined with the repurchase of approximately 98% of our Convertible Notes. In addition, we paid dividends of $5.2 million on our common stock, offset partially by the receipt of approximately $1 million from the exercise of stock options by employees.

During the 2010 period, we sold 11.25 million common units of PVG for proceeds of $199.1 million, net of offering costs, which reduced our limited partner interest in PVG to 22.6% at that time. Because we maintained a controlling financial interest in PVG until the final sale in June 2010, the proceeds from this transaction were reported as cash flows from financing activities. In addition, in the 2010 period, we received $11.2 million in distributions from PVG as well as $1.8 million from the exercise of stock options by employees.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2011, we had $30.7 million of cash on hand and approximately $160 million of unused borrowing capacity under our previous credit facility that was replaced by the Revolver in August 2011. Our initial available borrowing capacity under the Revolver is approximately $264 million. Our long-term debt as well as our compliance with the financial covenants as of June 30, 2011 under the previous credit facility is discussed below.

Debt and Credit Facility

The following table summarizes the components our long-term debt as of the periods presented:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Revolving credit facility	$	-	$	-
Senior Notes due 2016, net of discount (principal amount of $300,000)		293,009		292,487
Senior Notes due 2019		300,000		-
Convertible Notes due 2012, net of discount (principal amount of $4,915 and $230,000)		4,659		214,049
	$	597,668	$	506,536

Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities (the “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 will be charged at 0.375% increasing to 0.500% on the undrawn portion of the Revolver as determined by our ratio of outstanding borrowings to the available Revolver capacity.

The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and 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.

2016 Senior Notes. The 10.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2016, or 2016 Senior Notes, bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375% payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2016 Senior Notes were sold at 97% of par, equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The 2016 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 obligations under the 2016 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Under the Revolver, we are permitted under certain conditions to repurchase up to $100 million of the 2016 Senior Notes until August 2012. Accordingly, we may, from time to time, seek to repurchase the 2016 Senior Notes through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

2019 Senior Notes. The 2019 Senior Notes 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 obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes, which mature in November 2012, are convertible into cash up to the principal amount thereof and shares of our common stock, if any, in respect of the excess conversion value, based on an initial conversion rate of 17.3160 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.75 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50% payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior in right of payment to any of our senior indebtedness and to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and equal in right of payment to any of our future unsecured senior subordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of our future junior subordinated indebtedness and will structurally rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness of our Guarantor Subsidiaries.

In connection with a tender offer completed in April  2011, the Company repurchased $225.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes for $233.0 million reflecting a premium of $35 per $1,000 principal amount. The tender offer resulted in the extinguishment of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes. The tender offer was funded with the net proceeds of the 2019 Senior Notes. Subsequent to the tender offer, a total of $4.9 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes remain outstanding. The remaining unamortized discount will be amortized through November 2012.

In connection with the sale of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions, or the Note Hedges, with respect to shares of our common stock with affiliates of certain of the underwriters of the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedges cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the net shares of our common stock that would be deliverable to converting noteholders in the event of a conversion of the Convertible Notes.

36

We also entered into separate warrant transactions, or Warrants, whereby we sold to the Option Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 3,982,680 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $74.25 per share. Upon exercise of the Warrants, we will deliver shares of our common stock equal in value to the excess of the then market price over the strike price of the Warrants.

If the market value per share of our common stock at the time of conversion of the Convertible Notes is above the strike price of the Note Hedges, the Note Hedges entitle us to receive from the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount) based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market price of our common stock at the time of exercise of the Warrants exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, we will owe the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount), not offset by the Note Hedges, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Warrants.

Interest Rate Swaps. In December 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to establish variable rates on approximately one-third of the face amount of the outstanding obligation under the 2016 Senior Notes.

The following table describes our interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2011:

	Notional		Swap Interest Rates
Term	Amounts		Pay	Receive
Through June 2013	$	100,000	3-month LIBOR + 8.175%		10.375	%

Covenant Compliance

Our previous credit facility required us to maintain certain financial covenants as follows:

· Total debt to EBITDAX, each as defined in the previous credit facility, for any four consecutive quarters may not exceed 4.0 to 1.0 reducing to 3.5 to 1.0 for periods ending on or after September 30, 2011. EBITDAX, which is a non-GAAP measure, generally means net income plus interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses, exploration expenses, impairments, other non-cash charges or losses and the amount of cash distributions received from PVG and Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P.

· 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 previous credit facility.

As of June 30, 2011 and through the date upon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, we were in compliance with these covenants of our previous credit facility.

The following table summarizes the actual results of our financial covenant compliance under our previous credit facility for the period ended June 30, 2011:

	Required	Actual
Description of Covenant	Covenant	Results
Total debt to EBITDAX	< 4.0 to 1	3.1 to 1
Current ratio	> 1.0 to 1	4.2 to 1

The Revolver has a current ratio financial covenant identical to our previous credit facility. The leverage ratio financial covenant, which is initially effective for the period ended September 30, 2011, provides that the ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, each as defined in the Revolver, for any four consecutive quarters may not exceed 4.5 to 1.0 reducing to 4.0 to 1.0 after June 30, 2013.

In the event that we would be in default of a covenant under the Revolver, we could request the banks for a waiver of the covenant. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Revolver imposes limitations on dividends, as well as limits the 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 2011, we anticipate making capital expenditures, excluding any potential acquisitions, of approximately $370 million. The capital expenditures have been and will continue to be funded primarily by cash on hand supplemented by operating cash flows and, as necessary, proceeds from non-core asset sales, borrowing under the Revolver and supplemental issues of equity, as necessary. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend in any area based on industry conditions, cash flows provided by operating activities and the availability of capital.

37

Based on expenditures to date and forecasted activity for the remainder of 2011, we expect to allocate the capital expenditures as follows: Eagle Ford Shale (60%), Marcellus Shale (11%), Mid-Continent region (Anadarko Basin) (23%) and all other areas (6%). This allocation includes approximately 82% for development and exploratory drilling, 12% for leasehold acquisition and 6% for seismic and other projects. We anticipate that we will allocate approximately 83% of 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 including the plugging of abandoned wells. As of June 30, 2011, we have recorded asset retirement obligations of $7.3 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 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 the adoption of new environmental laws 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, 2010 and remained unchanged as of June 30, 2011.

New Accounting Standards

There were neither any new accounting standards issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, nor any accounting standards pending adoption that would have a significant impact on our financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

38

Item 3Quantitative 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 risk to which we are exposed is commodity price risk. As discussed below, we engage in price risk management activities with respect to managing our commodity price risk, which exposes us to counterparty risk with financial institutions with whom we enter into price risk management activities.

We produce and sell natural gas, crude oil and NGLs. 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 swaps, costless collars and three-way collars) to seek to mitigate the price risks associated with fluctuations in natural gas, crude oil and NGL 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 natural gas, crude oil and NGLs.

As of June 30, 2011, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $14.3 million.  The contracts associated with this position are with four counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with two 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, 2011.

In the six months ended June 30, 2011, we reported net commodity derivative gains of $7.3 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 natural gas, crude oil and NGL 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.

The following table lists our commodity derivative positions and their fair values as of June 30, 2011:

Item 4    Controls and Procedures

(a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2011.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and on a timely basis.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b)  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Fair Value Measurements (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2011

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

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 to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.  We have followed consistent methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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, 2011, the carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except the portion of long-term debt with fixed interest rates, approximated fair value.

Fair Value, Measurements, Recurring

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values:

• Publicly traded equity securities: We hold various publicly traded equity securities as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

• Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil 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.

• Interest rate swaps: We determine the fair values of our interest rate swaps using an income approach valuation technique that connects future cash flows to a single discounted value. We estimate the fair value of the swaps based on published interest rate yield curves as of the date of the estimate. Each of these is a level 2 input.

• Deferred compensation: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain publicly traded equity securities. The fair values of these obligations are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

Fair Value, Measurements, Nonrecurring

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements include the fair value of proved properties and tubular inventory and well materials for purposes of impairment testing and the initial determination of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”). The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of impairment testing include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, 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.

Revolving Credit Facility

We replaced our previous revolving credit facility with the Revolver in August 2011. The Revolver provides for a $300 million revolving credit facility and matures in August 2016. The Revolver is governed by a borrowing base calculation and the availability may not exceed the lesser of the aggregate commitments or the borrowing base. We have the option to increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolver by up to an additional $300 million, not to exceed the borrowing base, upon the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders. The initial borrowing base is set at $400 million, subject to redetermination on a semi-annual basis.

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 (the “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 will be charged at 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the facility at current utilization levels and increasing to 0.500% based upon utilization levels in excess of 50% of the borrowing base.

The Revolver includes both current ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants. The current ratio, as defined in the Revolver to include among other things, adjustments for undrawn availability, may not be less than 1.0 to 1.0 and 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 reducing to 4.0 to 1.0 after June 30, 2013.

The Revolver is guaranteed by Penn Virginia and all of our material subsidiaries (“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.

We had no amounts outstanding under the previous revolving credit facility at any time during the six months ended June 30, 2011 other than letters of credit of $1.4 million which are still outstanding. As of June 30, 2011, our available borrowing capacity under the previous revolving credit facility, as reduced by such letters of credit and limited by our financial covenants, was approximately $160 million. Our initial available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, as reduced by our letters of credit and limited by the financial covenants described above, is approximately $264 million.

2016 Senior Notes

The 2016 Senior Notes were originally sold at 97% of par equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The 2016 Senior Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375% payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Beginning in June 2013, we may redeem all or part of the 2016 Senior Notes at a redemption price beginning at 105.188% of the principal amount and reducing to 100.0% in June 2015 and thereafter. The 2016 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 obligations under the 2016 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

2019 Senior Notes

The 7.25% Senior Notes due 2019 (“2019 Senior Notes”), which were issued at par in April 2011, bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% payable semi-annually in arrears 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 beginning at 103.625% of the principal amount and reducing to 100.0% 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 obligations under the 2019 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Convertible Notes

The 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (“Convertible Notes”) bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50% which is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash up to the principal amount thereof and shares of our common stock, if any, in respect of the excess conversion value, based on an initial conversion rate of 17.3160 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.75 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations, ranking junior in right of payment to any of our senior indebtedness and to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and equal in right of payment to any of our future unsecured senior subordinated indebtedness. The Convertible Notes rank senior in right of payment to any of our future junior subordinated indebtedness and structurally rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness of our Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Convertible Notes are represented by a liability component which is included in long-term debt, net of discount, and an equity component representing the convertible feature which is included in additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes for all periods presented was 8.5%.

In connection with a tender offer completed in April 2011, the Company repurchased $225.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes for $233.0 million, representing a premium of $35 per $1,000 principal amount. The tender offer resulted in the extinguishment of approximately 98% of the outstanding Convertible Notes. The tender offer was funded from the net proceeds of the 2019 Senior Notes offering.

As a result of the tender offer, we recognized a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $25.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011, of which $24.2 million was charged to earnings and the remaining $1.7 million was charged directly to shareholders’ equity. The loss charged to earnings was determined as follows:

Cash paid to repurchase principal:
Allocated to liability component	$	231,331
Allocated to equity component		1,632
	$	232,963

Amortization of debt issuance costs		55		310		389		641
	$	794	$	4,714	$	5,663	$	9,425

In connection with the original sale of the Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions (“Note Hedges”) with respect to shares of our common stock with affiliates of certain of the underwriters of the Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Option Counterparties”). The Note Hedges cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the net shares of our common stock that would be deliverable to converting noteholders in the event of a conversion of the Convertible Notes.

We also entered into separate warrant transactions (“Warrants”), whereby we sold to the Option Counterparties warrants to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 3,982,680 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $74.25 per share. Upon exercise of the Warrants, we will deliver shares of our common stock equal in value to the excess of the then market price over the strike price of the Warrants.

If the market value per share of our common stock at the time of conversion of the Convertible Notes exceeds the strike price of the Note Hedges, the Note Hedges entitle us to receive from the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount) based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Note Hedges. Additionally, if the market price of our common stock at the time of exercise of the Warrants exceeds the strike price of the Warrants, we will owe the Option Counterparties net shares of our common stock (and cash for any fractional share cash amount), not offset by the Note Hedges, in an amount based on the excess of the then current market price of our common stock over the strike price of the Warrants.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

3. Acquisitions andDivestitures

Property Acquisitions

Eagle Ford Property Acquisitions

During 2011, we acquired approximately 6,500 net Eagle Ford Shale acres in Gonzales County, Texas for approximately $24 million. The acreage acquired in these transactions is in close proximity to the Eagle Ford Shale acreage that we acquired during 2010. We are the operator of the acquired acreage with an average working interest of approximately 86%.

Divestitures

PVG Unit Offering

In March and April 2010, we sold 11.25 million common units of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (“PVG”) for proceeds of $199.1 million, net of offering costs. At the time, the transaction reduced our limited partner interest in PVG to 22.6% and resulted in a $70.2 million increase to noncontrolling interests and a $82.1 million increase to additional paid-in capital, net of income tax effects. Because we maintained a controlling financial interest in PVG, the proceeds received from these transactions were reported as cash flows from financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2010, we completed the sale of our remaining PVG common units for $139.1 million, net of offering costs. Immediately prior to the closing of the June offering, we contributed 100% of the membership interests in PVG’s general partner to PVG, thereby relinquishing control of PVG. As a result of this divestiture, we recognized a gain of $49.6 million, net of income tax effects of $35.1 million, which is reported in the “Gain on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax” caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Because we no longer held any interests in PVG, the proceeds received from this transaction were reported as cash flows from investing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and we deconsolidated PVG from our Consolidated Financial Statements. The results of operations and cash flows attributable to PVG for the 2010 period are presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes as discontinued operations.

Oil and Gas Properties

In July 2011, we executed an agreement to sell substantially all of our Arkoma Basin assets for approximately $30 million, excluding transaction costs and subject to customary purchase and sale adjustments. The transaction will be effective July 1, 2011 and we anticipate that it will close during the third quarter of 2011. The properties to be sold include approximately 73,000 net acres and proved reserves of approximately 42.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent. The carrying value of these properties as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $101 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recognized an impairment of approximately $71 million with respect to these assets.

In January 2010, we completed the sale of all of our oil and gas properties in the Gulf Coast region (southern Texas and Louisiana) for cash proceeds of $23.2 million, net of transaction costs and certain purchase and sale adjustments, and the exchange of certain oil and gas properties located in the Gwinville field in northern Mississippi valued at $8.2 million.

1 For purposes of determining earnings per share, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, which is fully attributable to PVG's operations, is applied against income from discontinued operations.

2 For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 0.1 million potentially dilutive securities, including the Convertible Notes, stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units, had the effect of being anti-dilutive and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

Fair Value Measurements

9.    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 to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date.  We have followed consistent methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

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, 2011, 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 tables summarize the fair value of our long-term debt with fixed interest rates, which is estimated based on the published market prices for the same or similar issues as of the periods presented:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value		Value		Value

Totals	$	19,811		$	(508	)	$	20,319		$	-

We used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair values:

• Publicly traded equity securities: We hold various publicly traded equity securities as assets for funding certain deferred compensation obligations. The fair values are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

• Commodity derivatives: We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments based on discounted cash flows derived from third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil 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.

• Interest rate swaps: We determine the fair values of our interest rate swaps using an income approach valuation technique that connects future cash flows to a single discounted value. We estimate the fair value of the swaps based on published interest rate yield curves as of the date of the estimate. Each of these is a level 2 input.

• Deferred compensation: Certain of our deferred compensation obligations are ultimately to be settled in cash based on the underlying fair value of certain publicly traded equity securities. The fair values of these obligations are based on quoted market prices, which are level 1 inputs.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The most significant non-recurring fair value measurements include the fair value of proved properties and tubular inventory and well materials for purposes of impairment testing and the initial determination of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”). The factors used to determine fair value for purposes of impairment testing include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved and probable reserves, future commodity prices, 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.

In addition to these non-recurring fair value measurements, we utilized fair value measurements in the determination of the loss on the extinguishment of approximately 98% our Convertible Notes. In connection with that determination, we were required to allocate the cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes to its liability and equity components. Furthermore, the allocation to the liability component was based on the fair value of a comparable debt instrument that has no conversion feature. The residual amount of cash paid to repurchase the Convertible Notes was allocated to the equity component.

Contingencies - 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 or results of operations. During 2010, we established a $0.9 million reserve for a litigation matter and a $0.5 million reserve for a sales and use tax audit contingency. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, we have recorded AROs of $7.3 million attributable to the plugging of abandoned wells.

Derivative Instruments

5.Derivative Instruments

We utilize derivative instruments to mitigate our financial exposure to natural gas and crude oil price volatility as well as interest rates attributable to our debt instruments. We are not engaged in the trading of derivative instruments for speculative purposes. The derivative instruments, which are placed with financial institutions that we believe are acceptable credit risks, generally take the form of costless collars and swaps. Our derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges.

Commodity Derivatives

We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative instruments using third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil as of the end of the reporting period and 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.

The following table sets forth our commodity derivative positions as of June 30, 2011:

		Average

Interest Rate Swaps

In December 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to establish variable rates on approximately one-third of the face amount of the outstanding obligation under the 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (“2016 Senior Notes”).

The following table sets forth the terms and positions of our interest rate swap assets as of the periods presented:

The effects of derivative gains (losses) and cash settlements of our commodity and interest rate derivatives are reported as adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations. These items are recorded in the “Derivative contracts: Net gains” and “Derivative contracts: Cash settlements” captions on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments, as well as the locations of these instruments, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the periods presented:

As of June 30, 2011, we reported a commodity derivative asset of $14.3 million.  The contracts associated with this position are with four counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and are substantially concentrated with two 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.

Restructuring Activities

13.Restructuring Activities

During 2009 and 2010, we implemented an organization restructuring in connection with our transformation to a pure play development, exploration and production company. The restructuring resulted in the termination of approximately 30 employees and the transfer of certain corporate and division operations functions from our former Kingsport, Tennessee location to our Houston, Texas and Pittsburgh and Radnor, Pennsylvania locations.  We incurred special termination benefit costs, relocation costs and other incremental costs associated with staffing and expanding our office locations.

These restructuring charges are included in the General and administrative expenses caption on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are comprised of the following for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Discontinued Operations

17.    Discontinued Operations

Prior to June 2010, we indirectly owned partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (“PVR”), a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2001. Our ownership interests in PVR were held principally through our general and limited partner interests in PVG. During June 2010, we disposed of our remaining ownership interests in PVG and, indirectly, our interests in PVR.

Income from discontinued operations represents the results of operations of PVG, which include the results of operations of PVR. Previously, the results of operations of PVG and PVR were presented as our coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream segments. The table below reflects the results of operations of PVG for the periods presented.

Income tax expense 1		-		(1,569	)		-		(3,350	)
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes	$	-	$	21,308		$	-	$	33,482

1 Determined by applying the effective tax rate attributable to discontinued operations to the income from discontinued operations less noncontrolling interests that are fully attributable to PVG's operations.

PVR continues to provide marketing and gas gathering and processing services to the Company under a number of existing agreements with various remaining terms. We continue to sell gas to PVR for resale at PVR’s Crossroads plant in east Texas.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of its subsidiaries.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  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, 2010.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  Certain amounts for the 2010 period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

There were neither any new accounting standards issued during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, nor any accounting standards pending adoption that would have a significant impact on our financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

Management has evaluated all activities of the Company through the date upon which the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and concluded that, except for additional leasehold acquisitions in the Eagle Ford Shale (see Note 3), the execution of an agreement to sell substantially all of our assets in the Arkoma Basin (see Note 3) and the completion of a new credit agreement (“Revolver”)(see Note 7), no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
