PART I
 
ITEM 1. AND ITEM 2.   BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (“Infinity” or the “Company”) was organized as a Colorado corporation in April 1987 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in September 2005. Infinity is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas and oil in the United States through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. (“Infinity-Texas”) and Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (“Infinity-Wyoming”). Our current operations are focused in the Fort Worth Basin of north central Texas. Infinity is also pursuing an oil and gas exploration opportunity offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea. As used in this report, Infinity, we, us and our refer collectively to Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., its predecessors and subsidiaries or one or more of them as the context may require.
 
From January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2004, we grew our production through exploration and development drilling exclusively in the Rocky Mountain region. During this period, we completed the drilling of 36 oil and gas wells with a success rate of 75% at our two projects in the Greater Green River Basin. Exploratory wells accounted for 69%, or 25 of the total wells drilled. Beginning in 2005, the Company’s primary exploration focus shifted to the Fort Worth Basin in north central Texas. During 2005, 2006 and 2007, we completed the drilling of 29 gas wells in the Fort Worth Basin. Exploratory wells accounted for 100% of the total wells drilled. Our total proved reserves as of December 31, 2007, were an estimated 7.8 billion cubic feet of gas equivalent (“Bcfe”) with a PV-10 Value (as defined below) of $26.1 million (and a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow of $25.8 million).
 
In accordance with our business strategy which is discussed below, we operated 100% of our projects at December 31, 2007, with working interests that ranged between 50% and 100%.
 
On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with 80% of the working interest owned by the Company in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming to Forest Oil Corporation, a New York corporation (“Forest”). In addition, concurrent with the sale, on December 27, 2007, Infinity-Texas entered into a Farmout and Acquisition Agreement (“Farmout Agreement”) for certain oil and gas leaseholds owned by Infinity-Texas in Erath County, Texas. The Farmout Agreement provides that Forest will operate and earn a 75% interest in the spacing unit for each well in a 10-well drilling program. If Forest completes the drilling program, Forest Oil will earn a 50% interest in the approximate 25,000 remaining undeveloped net acres and existing Erath County infrastructure owned by Infinity-Texas. The drilling obligation under the Farmout Agreement has been delayed to begin no later than May 1, 2008. Infinity-Texas retains 100% of its interest in all currently completed wells and 100 acres surrounding each currently completed well.
 
On December 15, 2006, we sold our oilfield services subsidiaries, Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. and CIS-Oklahoma, Inc. to Q Consolidated Oil Well Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
 
Our corporate office is located at 633 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1800, Denver, Colorado 80202. Our telephone number is (720) 932-7800. Our website is http://www.infinity-res.com. We make available, free of charge through our website, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on the website is not incorporated or part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Infinity-Texas
 
Infinity-Texas is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas in the Fort Worth Basin of north central Texas. This subsidiary is a Delaware corporation with its headquarters located in Denver, Colorado.

Table of Contents

Infinity-Texas was formed in June 2004 to acquire, explore, develop and produce natural gas from the Barnett Shale formation and other producing formations in the Fort Worth Basin. The Barnett Shale is a marine shale formation that is natural gas bearing at depths believed to range from 1,000 to 8,500 feet and is believed to be ubiquitous across the Fort Worth Basin. Though this area has been well known for natural gas production for many years, improvements in fracture techniques and the employment of horizontal drilling in recent years have generally improved the economics of producing this reservoir. In addition, the predominance of leases in the region relate to fee acreage and therefore have relatively few operating restrictions and regulations, as compared to the typical federal or state-owned leases in the Rocky Mountain region that involve more operating restrictions and regulations.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2004, Infinity-Texas drilled three gross (2.7 net) wells and completed one gross (0.9 net) well. During 2005, Infinity-Texas drilled 5 wells (4.9 net) and completed seven wells (6.7 net), six as producers and one as a water disposal well. During 2006, Infinity-Texas drilled an additional 14 wells (14 net) and completed 13 wells (163 net). During 2007, Infinity-Texas drilled an additional 9 wells (9 net) and completed 7 wells (7 net). At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Texas had three gross (and net) wells awaiting completion. Infinity-Texas currently operates all drilled wells, but as a result of the Farmout Agreement entered into in January 2008, it will not operate future wells drilled under such agreement.
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Texas had total estimated proved reserves of 2.8 Bcfe.
 
Infinity-Wyoming
 
Infinity-Wyoming is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas, condensate and crude oil in the Rocky Mountain region in Wyoming and Colorado. This subsidiary is a Wyoming corporation with its headquarters located in Denver, Colorado. Following the sale of properties to Forest on January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming currently has no wells producing crude oil or natural gas.
 
Infinity-Wyoming was incorporated in January 2000 for the purpose of acquiring properties with the intent of exploring, developing and producing natural gas and coal bed methane. Through 2007, we have developed our proven oil and gas reserves and increased production primarily through acquiring additional oil and gas leaseholds and drilling wells to exploit and develop tight sand and fractured shale properties.
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming had total estimated proved reserves of 5.0 Bcfe (approximately 4.9 Bcfe of which was sold to Forest in January 2008).
 
Approximately 1.7 Bcfe of our proved oil and gas reserves were associated with tight sand properties in the Wamsutter Arch Pipeline Field in the Greater Green River Basin in southwest Wyoming (the “Pipeline Field”). Approximately 3.3 Bcfe of our proved reserves related to fractured Niobrara shale properties in the Sand Wash Basin in Colorado (the “Sand Wash Prospect”).
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming operated all of its proved developed oil and gas locations. During the year ended December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming drilled no wells. During the year ended December 31, 2006, Infinity-Wyoming completed one gross (and net) well drilled in 2005. Infinity-Wyoming drilled seven gross (and net) wells and completed six gross (and net) wells during 2005. At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming had 23 gross (and net) wells awaiting possible abandonment operations in Colorado and Wyoming.
 
On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with 80% of the working interest owned by the Company in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming to Forest.
 
Nicaragua
 
Since 1999, Infinity has pursued an oil and gas exploration opportunity offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea. Over such time period, the relationships that have been built with the Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia (“INE”) and the geological and geophysical research that was done allowed Infinity to become one of only six companies qualified to bid on offshore blocks in the first international bidding round held by INE in January 2003. Infinity was awarded the bid on 24 blocks of acreage, comprising approximately 1.4 million acres, in May 2003, and finalized the initial exploration and production contract for the two underlying prospects (Tyra and Perlas) in May

2006. The validity of the contracts relating to our concessions, and potentially the concessions themselves has been challenged, and Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions.
 
Infinity plans to conduct an environmental study and to develop geological information from the reprocessing and additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data to be acquired over its Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua. Infinity has issued letters of credit totaling approximately $1 million for this initial work on the leases. Infinity has not commenced significant activity under the initial work plan as Infinity has yet to receive the specific requirements associated with the conduct of the environmental study from the responsible governmental agency. Infinity intends to seek joint venture or working interest partners prior to the commencement of any drilling operations on these concessions.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On December 15, 2006, we sold our oilfield services subsidiaries, Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. and CIS Oklahoma, Inc. (collectively “Consolidated”).
 
Second Forbearance Agreement
 
On March 27, 2008, we entered into a Second Forbearance Agreement under the loan agreement among the Company, Infinity-Texas, Infinity-Wyoming and Amegy Bank N.A. (“Amegy”). The borrowing base under the loan agreement was reduced to $3.8 million, with a resulting borrowing base deficiency of $7.1 million (the “Deficiency”). The Deficiency must be cured by May 31, 2008 through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. The Second Forbearance Agreement relates to the breach by Infinity of: (i) existing defaults set forth in the First Forbearance Agreement, (ii) several financial covenants set forth in Section 8 of the loan agreement for the periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2007; and (iii) certain covenants set forth in Section 7 of the loan agreement for the periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2007. Under the Second Forbearance Agreement, Amegy agrees to forebear from exercising any remedies under the loan agreement and related loan documents and to waive the existing defaults through May 31, 2008 unless earlier terminated by Amegy due to a further default under the agreement or the loan agreement. In addition, the agreement gives Amegy the right to require Infinity to proceed with the sale and marketing of all of its remaining oil and gas properties and leasehold interests. Infinity agreed to pay Amegy forbearance fees due in connection with the Forbearance Agreements of $0.6 million and additional fees consisting of $0.2 million for December 2007 and, for each month from January 2008 to May 2008, 1% of the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. Amegy has agreed not to charge a default interest rate (prime plus 6.5%) during the forbearance period, but is entitled to impose such rate upon termination of the forbearance period.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
Our principal objective is to create stockholder value through the execution of our business strategy. We will seek to: (i) continue to operate our producing properties in the Fort Worth Basin; (ii) benefit from the anticipated drilling and completions activities of Forest under the Farmout Agreement; (iii) potentially seek additional farm out opportunities with respect to our remaining undeveloped acreage in the Fort Worth, Green River and Piceance Basins of the continental United States; and (iv) consummate the necessary ratifications of the Nicaraguan concessions and commence the geological and geophysical exploration of the concessions while also seeking joint venture or working interest partners.
 
We intend to finance our business strategies through employment of working capital, cash flow from operations, if any, net proceeds from the sales of assets, and through external financing, which may include debt and equity capital raised in public and private offerings. Essentially all of our assets serve as collateral under our credit facility, and as such, any disposition of material assets would require the approval of our lender. Additionally, any disposition of material assets during the remainder of 2008 may require stockholder approval.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION
 
Properties
 
This section is an explanation and detail of some of the relevant project groupings from our overall inventory of projects and prospects. Our operations are focused primarily in the Fort Worth Basin of Texas and the Greater Green River and Sand Wash Basins in the Rocky Mountain region. Our other area of interest is in the Caribbean Sea, offshore Nicaragua.
 
Fort Worth Basin
 
For purposes of presentation, we divide our Fort Worth Basin operations into two main property areas: Erath and Hamilton Counties, Texas and Comanche County, Texas.
 
Erath and Hamilton Counties, Texas
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Texas held leases on approximately 40,000 gross (28,000 net) acres in this area located in the southwest portion of the Fort Worth Basin in north central Texas. Infinity-Texas currently seeks to explore for, develop and produce natural gas and natural gas liquids from the Barnett Shale, and possibly shallower formations. At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Texas operated 26 gross (25.6 net) wells in the area, of which sixteen were active producers, eight were shut-in, one was waiting completion operations, and one was a water disposal well. Infinity-Texas has a 90% average working interest and a 72% average net revenue interest in the acreage in this area. During 2007, Infinity-Texas produced approximately 641,000 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas from the field, compared to 765,000 Mcf of natural gas produced from the field in 2006. Production during 2007 represented a 16% decrease from 2006.
 
During 2004, Infinity-Texas horizontally drilled three wells, completing one of those wells prior to yearend 2004. During 2005, Infinity-Texas horizontally drilled an additional four wells and completed six wells. Infinity-Texas also vertically drilled a water disposal well in 2005 for the disposal of frac flowback fluids and water produced from its wells in the area. During 2006, Infinity-Texas horizontally drilled an additional 10 wells, vertically drilled one well and completed all 11 wells. During 2007, Infinity-Texas horizontally drilled an additional seven wells, completing six of them. During 2005 and 2006, Infinity-Texas shot approximately 63 square miles of 3-D seismic data over its acreage in Erath County. Infinity-Texas believes it has a multi-year drilling inventory available in this area, adjusting for and reflective of spacing requirements and surface or lease restrictions.
 
On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Texas entered into a Farmout Agreement with Forest with respect to certain oil and gas leaseholds owned by Infinity-Texas in Erath County, Texas. The Farmout Agreement provides that Forest will operate and earn a 75% interest in the spacing unit for each well in a 10-well drilling program. If Forest completes the drilling program, Forest will earn a 50% interest in the approximate 25,000 remaining undeveloped net acres and existing Erath County infrastructure owned by Infinity-Texas. The drilling obligation is to begin no later than May 1, 2008. Infinity-Texas retains 100% of its interest in all currently completed wells and 100 acres surrounding each currently completed well.
 
Comanche County, Texas
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Texas held leases on approximately 30,000 gross (and net) acres in this area, located approximately 30 miles southwest of the Erath and Hamilton County properties. During 2006, Infinity-Texas vertically drilled 3 wells and completed 2 wells in Comanche County. During 2007, Infinity-Texas vertically drilled two wells and completed one well in Comanche County. Infinity-Texas expects to explore for natural gas from the Barnett Shale and Lower Marble Falls formations at varying depths between 2,400 and 2,700 feet. Infinity-Texas has a 100% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in the acreage in this area. During 2006 and 2007, Infinity-Texas produced only insignificant amounts of natural gas from the field.
 
Greater Green River Basin
 
For purposes of presentation, we divide our Greater Green River Basin operations into two main property areas: Pipeline Field and Labarge Field.

Table of Contents

Pipeline Field
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming held leases on approximately 21,000 gross acres (18,000 net acres) located on the Wamsutter Arch in the Greater Green River Basin of southwest Wyoming. Infinity-Wyoming sought to exploit hydrocarbons in the cretaceous-aged Upper Almond sand at varying depths between 2,800 and 3,600 feet. At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming operated 28 wells in the field, of which sixteen were active producers, three were shut-in, two were water disposal wells, and seven were awaiting completion or plugging and abandonment operations. In January 2008, Infinity-Wyoming sold all but the seven wells awaiting completion or plugging and abandonment to Forest.
 
During 2007, Infinity-Wyoming produced approximately 300,000 Mcf of natural gas and 12,000 barrels of crude oil, or 372,000 thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent (“Mcfe”) from the field, compared to 365,000 Mcf of natural gas and 16,000 barrels of crude oil, or 461,000 Mcfe produced from the field in 2006. Production during 2007 represented a 19% decrease from 2006. Production has generally declined since peaking in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
 
Labarge Field
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming held leases on approximately 5,000 gross (and net) acres located on the northern extension of the Moxa Arch in southwest Wyoming and held options on an additional approximately 18,000 gross acres. Infinity-Wyoming currently seeks to exploit hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous Upper Mesaverde coals at varying depths between 3,400 and 4,200 feet. At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming operated twelve wells in the field, of which ten were shut-in, and two were water disposal wells.
 
Infinity-Wyoming did not produce from the Labarge field during 2007. The field produced approximately 3,000 Mcf of natural gas during 2006, as compared to approximately 12,000 Mcf of natural gas during 2005. Production has generally declined since peaking in the quarter ended September 30, 2002, when production reached 20,600 Mcfe. Production at Labarge to date has been uneconomic.
 
Infinity-Wyoming has been subject to a Bureau of Land Management environmental impact study (“EIS”) on the Labarge Field and the Pinedale Resource Management Plan federal acreage. An EIS must be completed before the acreage can be developed in a meaningful way. The EIS was commenced in 2002 and was originally anticipated to be completed in six to eight months. Infinity-Wyoming currently anticipates that an EIS covering the Greater Labarge Area will be completed during 2012.
 
Northwest Colorado
 
For purposes of presentation, we divide our northwest Colorado operations into two main property areas: Sand Wash Prospect and Piceance Basin Prospect.
 
Sand Wash Prospect
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming held leases on approximately 35,000 gross acres (33,000 net acres) located in the Sand Wash Basin of northwest Colorado and south central Wyoming. Infinity-Wyoming seeks to explore and develop hydrocarbons in the fractured Niobrara calcareous shale between 5,500 and 6,500 feet. Secondary objectives include exploiting the Williams Fork and Iles coals at varying depths between 2,500 and 3,000 feet.
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming operated three producing oil properties (two of which are shut-in) and four shut-in coalbed methane wells in the field.
 
During 2007, Infinity-Wyoming produced approximately 40,000 barrels of oil from this field as compared to approximately 58,000 barrels of oil from this field during 2006. The 31% production decline experienced in 2007 was partially attributable to periods where the most significant producer was shut-in for maintenance and repairs, including the production facilities fire in March 2007.

Piceance Basin Prospect
 
At December 31, 2007, Infinity-Wyoming held leases on approximately 7,000 gross (and net) acres in the northeastern corner of the Piceance Basin in northwest Colorado. The acreage is located along the northern rim of the Piceance Basin and the southern extent of the Axial Basin Arch. Immediately adjacent to the prospect are several large oil and gas fields which were discovered and developed as early as 1927. Most notable of these is the Wilson Creek field to the south, which has produced approximately 90 million barrels of oil and 75 Bcf of natural gas. Primary reservoir targets would include the Niobrara fractured shale and the Dakota and Morrison-Brushy Creek sandstone formations. Secondary reservoir targets might include the Mesaverde sands and coals, Morrison-Salt Wash, Entrada, Shinarump, Moenkopi, Weber and Morgan-Minturn formations. Infinity-Wyoming plans to conduct additional geological and geophysical studies in 2008 to identify potential 2009 drilling opportunities.
 
Nicaragua
 
Subsequent to being awarded two concessions in 2003, Infinity negotiated a number of key terms and conditions of an exploration and production contract covering the approximate 1.4 million acre Tyra (approximately 823,000 acres in the north) and Perlas (approximately 566,000 acres in the south) concession areas offshore Nicaragua. The contract, which was finalized in May 2006, contemplates an exploration period of up to six years with four sub-phases and a production period of up to 30 additional years (with a potential five-year extension). The validity of the contracts relating to our concessions, and potentially the concessions themselves, has been challenged and Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions. The initial capital costs during the first twelve months of exploration, for which Infinity has issued two letters of credit, are expected to total approximately $0.9 million, with a total of less than $2.0 million during the second twelve months, to cover costs of environmental studies, geological and geophysical analysis, acquisition of seismic data and other operational expenses. Infinity plans to conduct an environmental study and to develop geological information from the reprocessing and additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data to be acquired over the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks. Infinity has not commenced significant activity under the initial work plan as Infinity has yet to receive the specific requirements associated with the conduct of the environmental study from the responsible governmental agency.
 
Exploration offshore Nicaragua would focus on Eocene and Cretaceous Carbonate reservoirs and Infinity’s management and consultants believe: (i) numerous analogies can be made between the Infinity concession block and production from fractured Cretaceous carbonates in Mexico, Venezuela and Guatemala and (ii) the presence of Cretaceous source rocks onshore Honduras and Nicaragua can be projected into the offshore Caribbean Shelf. Infinity plans to seek offers from industry operators for interests in the acreage in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations. No assurance can be given that any such transactions will be consummated.
 
Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
 
We engaged Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent petroleum engineers, to prepare estimates of proved reserves, projected future production and related future net revenue for our properties as of December 31, 2007. Estimates prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. were based upon review of production histories and other geologic, economic, ownership, volumetric and engineering data. In estimating reserve quantities that are economically recoverable, oil and gas prices and estimated development and production costs as of December 31, 2007 were utilized.
 
The following table sets forth estimates as of December 31, 2007 derived from the Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. reserve report. The present value (discounted at 10 percent) of estimated future net revenue before income taxes (“PV-10 Value”) shown in the table is not intended to represent the current market value of our estimated proved oil and gas reserves. For additional information concerning the Standardized measure of

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and in projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond the control of the producer. The reserve data set forth herein represents only estimates. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment and the existence of development plans. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, the reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. Further, the estimated future net revenue from proved reserves and the present value thereof are based upon certain assumptions, including future geologic success, prices, production levels and costs that may not prove correct. Predictions about prices and future production levels are subject to great uncertainty and the meaningfulness of such estimates is highly dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions upon which they are based. Oil and gas prices have fluctuated widely in recent years. There is no assurance that prices will not be materially higher or lower than the prices utilized in estimating the reserves.
 
The weighted average sales prices utilized for purposes of estimating our proved reserves and future net revenue therefrom as of December 31, 2007 were $7.21 per Mcf of natural gas and $81.89 per barrel of crude oil.
 
Approximately 1.4 Bcf of natural gas, 570,000 barrels of crude oil and $19.1 million of present value of future net revenue before income taxes were sold to Forest in January 2008.
 
The PV-10 Value is a non-GAAP measure because it excludes income tax effects. Management believes that pre-tax cash flow amounts are useful for evaluative purposes since future income taxes, which are affected by a company’s unique tax position and strategies, can make after-tax amounts less comparable. We derive PV-10 Value based on the present value of estimated future revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and future development costs and future plugging and abandonment costs, using prices and costs as of the date of estimate without future escalation, without giving effect to hedging activities, non-property related expenses such as general and administrative expenses, debt service and depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment and income taxes, and discounted using an annual discount rate of 10%. The following table reconciles the standardized measure of future net cash flows to PV-10 value as of the dates shown (in millions):

Customers and Markets
 
Infinity-Wyoming’s gas production from the Pipeline Field is sold to Mountain Gas Resources based upon the daily midpoint of the CIG Rocky Mountain index, a published pricing index on which gas sales contracts in the Rocky Mountains are generally based. The majority of Infinity-Texas’ gas production is sold to Louis Dreyfus Gas Development L.P. based on the daily midpoint of the WAHA index, a published pricing index on which gas sales in the Western Forth Worth and the Permian Basins are often based.
 
As of December 31, 2007, oil production from the Pipeline Field was being sold at the average daily Chevron posted price for Southwest Wyoming Sweet less $3.00 per barrel and oil production from the Sand Wash Prospect is sold at the average daily Chevron posted price for Western Colorado less $2.00 per barrel.

Table of Contents

Based on the general demand for oil and natural gas, Infinity does not believe that a loss of any customer would have a material adverse effect on its business.
 
Competition
 
Infinity and its subsidiaries compete in virtually all facets of their businesses with numerous other companies in the oil and gas industry, including many that have significantly greater financial and other resources. Such competitors may be able to pay more for desirable oil and gas leases and to evaluate, bid for, and purchase a greater number of properties than the financial or personnel resources of Infinity permit.
 
Infinity’s business strategy includes highly competitive oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. We face intense competition from a large number of independent exploration and development companies as well as major oil and gas companies in a number of areas such as:
 
  •  Marketing our oil and natural gas production; and
 
  •  Seeking to acquire the services, equipment, labor and materials necessary to explore, operate and develop those properties.
 
Many of our competitors have financial and technological resources substantially exceeding those available to Infinity. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in operating and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition.
 
Delivery Commitments
 
Effective September 2001, Infinity-Wyoming entered into a gas gathering and transportation contract with a third-party gatherer and processor in which the third-party gatherer and processor built gas gathering laterals and installed compression facilities to deliver gas produced from the Pipeline Field to the Overland Trail Transmission pipeline. During 2002, the contract was amended to include additional compression and gathering facilities to be installed by the third-party gatherer and processor and delivery points for the additional production being generated by Infinity-Wyoming. Infinity-Wyoming pays a gathering fee of approximately $0.40 per Mcf until 7,500,000 Mcf have been produced at which time the fee is to be reduced to $0.25 per Mcf. Additionally; the Company had annual volume commitments for five years starting September 1, 2001. If the Company exceeded the minimum in any year, the excess reduced the following year’s commitment. If the Company did not meet the minimum in any year, the shortfall was added to the following years. Infinity-Wyoming delivered approximately 4,400,000 Mcf under this contract through September 30, 2006. During 2007, Infinity-Wyoming paid $0.6 million to settle this disputed volume commitment deficiency. The Pipeline sales volumes are also subject to a $0.15 per MMBtu charge for access onto the Overland Trail Transmission line.
 
In June 2005, the Company entered into a long-term gas gathering contract for natural gas production from the Company’s properties in Erath County, Texas, under which the Company pays a gathering fee of $0.35 per Mcf gathered. The contract contains minimum delivery volume commitments through June 30, 2015 associated with firm transportation rights. In December 2006, under provisions of the contract, the Company reduced the minimum daily delivery volumes by 50%.
 
Government Regulation of the Oil and Gas Industry
 
General
 
Infinity’s business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including, among others, laws and regulations relating to energy, environment, conservation and tax. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to Infinity, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

Table of Contents

Infinity believes that its operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive effect on our method of operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry.
 
The following discussion contains summaries of certain laws and regulations and is qualified as mentioned above.
 
Federal Regulation of the Sale of Oil and Gas
 
Various aspects of Infinity’s oil and natural gas operations are regulated by agencies of the federal government. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) regulates the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce pursuant to the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (“NGA”) and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (“NGPA”). In the past, the federal government has regulated the prices at which oil and gas could be sold. While “first sales” by producers of natural gas and all sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids can currently be made at uncontrolled market prices, Congress could reenact price controls in the future. Deregulation of wellhead sales in the natural gas industry began with the enactment of the NGPA in 1978. In 1989, Congress enacted the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act (the “Decontrol Act”). The Decontrol Act removed all NGA and NGPA price and non-price controls affecting wellhead sales of natural gas effective January 1, 1993.
 
Commencing in April 1992, the FERC issued Order Nos. 636, 636-A, 636-B, 636-C and 636-D (“Order No. 636”), which require interstate pipelines to provide transportation services separate, or “unbundled,” from the pipelines’ sales of gas. Also, Order No. 636 requires pipelines to provide open access transportation on a nondiscriminatory basis that is equal for all natural gas shippers. Although Order No. 636 does not directly regulate Infinity’s production activities, FERC has stated that it intends for Order No. 636 to foster increased competition within all phases of the natural gas industry.
 
Regulation of Operations
 
Infinity conducts certain operations on federal oil and gas leases, which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). Of Infinity-Wyoming’s Pipeline Field acreage at December 31, 2007, approximately 15,000 gross acres are leases that are administered by the BLM. The Piceance Basin Prospect and Sand Wash Prospect acreage also include acreage that is administered by the BLM. Federal leases contain relatively standard terms and require compliance with detailed BLM regulations and orders, which are subject to change. Among other restrictions, the BLM has regulations restricting the flaring or venting of natural gas, and the BLM has proposed to amend such regulations to prohibit the flaring of liquid hydrocarbons and oil without prior authorization. Under certain circumstances, the BLM may require any company operations on federal leases to be suspended or terminated. Any such suspension or termination could materially and adversely affect Infinity’s financial condition, cash flows and operations.
 
The Minerals Management Service (“MMS”) administers the valuation, payment and reporting for royalties on oil and gas produced from federal leases. The BLM issued a final rule that amended its regulations governing the valuation of gas produced from federal leases. This rule primarily affects the transportation allowance used to value the federal royalty.
 
Exploration and production operations of Infinity-Texas and Infinity-Wyoming are subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state, and local levels. These regulations include requiring permits and drilling bonds for the drilling of wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing wells, and the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled. Many states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. The operation and production of Infinity-Wyoming’s properties is subject to the rules and regulations of the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (WYOGCC) and the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). In addition a portion of the properties are on federal lands and are subject to Onshore Orders 1 and 2, The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act. The operation and production of Infinity-Texas’ properties is subject to the rules and regulations of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC).

Table of Contents

Additional proposals and proceedings that might affect the oil and gas industry are pending before Congress, the FERC, BLM, MMS, state commissions and the courts. Infinity cannot predict when or whether any such proposals and proceedings may become effective. In the past, the natural gas industry has been heavily regulated. There is no assurance that the regulatory approach currently pursued by various agencies will continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Infinity does not anticipate that compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations will have a material or significantly adverse effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Infinity or its subsidiaries.
 
Environmental and Land Use Regulation
 
Various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment affect our operations and costs. The areas affected include:
 
  •  unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions, spill prevention and the disposal of produced water;
 
  •  capital costs to drill development wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes;
 
  •  capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities;
 
  •  operational costs associated with ongoing compliance and monitoring activities; and
 
  •  exit costs for operations that we are responsible for closing, including costs for dismantling and abandoning wells and remediating environmental impacts.
 
The environmental and land use laws and regulations affecting oil and natural gas operations have been changed frequently in the past, and in general, these changes have imposed more stringent requirements that increase operating costs and/or require capital expenditures in order to remain in compliance. We believe that our business operations are in substantial compliance with current laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in civil and/or criminal fines and liability for non-compliance, clean-up costs and other environmental damages. It is also possible that unanticipated developments or changes in law could cause us to make environmental expenditures significantly greater than those we currently expect.
 
The following is a summary discussion of the framework of key environmental and land use regulations and requirements affecting our oil and natural gas exploration, development, production and transportation operations.
 
Discharges to Waters.  The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended (the “Clean Water Act”), and comparable state statutes impose restrictions and controls, primarily through the issuance of permits, on the discharge of produced waters and other oil and natural gas wastes into regulated waters and wetlands. These controls have become more stringent over the years, and it is possible that additional restrictions will be imposed in the future, including potential restrictions on the use of hydraulic fracturing. These laws prohibit the discharge of produced waters and sand, drilling fluids, drill cuttings and other substances related to the oil and natural gas industry into onshore, coastal and offshore waters without a permit.
 
The Clean Water Act also regulates stormwater discharges from industrial properties and construction activities and requires separate permits and implementation of a stormwater management plan establishing best management practices, training, and periodic monitoring. Certain operations are also required to develop and implement “Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure” plans or Facility Response Plans to address potential oil spills.
 
The Clean Water Act provides for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for unauthorized discharges of oil, hazardous substances and other pollutants. It also imposes substantial potential liability for the costs of removal or remediation associated with discharges of oil or hazardous substances. State laws governing discharges to water also provide varying civil, criminal and administrative penalties and impose liabilities in the case of a discharge of petroleum or its derivatives, or other hazardous substances into regulated waters.
 
Oil Spill Regulations.  The Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended (the “OPA”), amends and augments oil spill provisions of the Clean Water Act, imposing potentially unlimited liability on responsible parties, without


15


Table of Contents

regard to fault, for the costs of cleanup and other damages resulting from an oil spill in U.S. waters. Responsible parties include (i) owners and operators of onshore facilities and pipelines and (ii) lessees or permittees of offshore facilities.
 
Air Emissions.  Our operations are subject to local, state and federal regulations governing emissions of air pollution. Administrative enforcement actions for failure to comply strictly with air pollution regulations or permits are generally resolved by payment of monetary fines and correction of any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies could require us to forego construction, modification or operation of certain air emission sources. Air emissions from oil and natural gas operations also are regulated by oil and natural gas permitting agencies including the MMS, BLM and state agencies.
 
We may generate wastes, including hazardous wastes that are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes, although certain oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes currently are exempt from regulation under RCRA. The EPA has limited the disposal options for certain wastes that are designated as hazardous under RCRA (“Hazardous Wastes”). Furthermore, it is possible that certain wastes generated by our oil and natural gas operations that are currently exempt from treatment as Hazardous Wastes may in the future be designated as Hazardous Wastes, and therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating, disposal and clean-up requirements. State and federal oil and natural gas regulations also provide guidelines for the storage and disposal of solid wastes resulting from the production of oil and natural gas, both on- and off-shore.
 
Superfund.  Under some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law, and similar state statutes, responsibility for the entire cost of cleanup of a contaminated site, as well as natural resource damages, can be imposed upon any current or former site owners or operators, or upon any party who discharged one or more designated substances (“Hazardous Substances”) at the site, regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take actions in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the potentially responsible parties the costs of such action. Although CERCLA generally exempts petroleum from the definition of Hazardous Substances, in the course of our operations we may have generated and may generate wastes that fall within CERCLA’s definition of Hazardous Substances. We may also be an owner or operator of facilities at which Hazardous Substances have been released by previous owners or operators. We may be responsible under CERCLA for all or part of the costs to clean up facilities at which such substances have been released and for natural resource damages. We have not, to our knowledge, been identified as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA, nor are we aware of any prior owners or operators of our properties that have been so identified with respect to their ownership or operation of those properties.
 
Abandonment and Remediation Requirements.  Federal, state and local regulations provide detailed requirements for the abandonment of wells, closure or decommissioning of production and transportation facilities, and the environmental restoration of operations sites. The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the Texas Railroad Commission are the principal state agencies and BLM the primary federal agency responsible for regulating the drilling, operation, maintenance and abandonment of all oil and natural gas wells in the state. State and BLM regulations require operators to post performance bonds.
 
Potentially Material Costs Associated with Environmental Regulation of Our Oil and Natural Gas Operations.  Significant potential costs relating to environmental and land use regulations associated with our existing properties and operations include those relating to (i) plugging and abandonment of facilities, (ii) clean-up costs and damages due to spills or other releases and (iii) civil penalties imposed for spills, releases or non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
 
Infinity-Texas and Infinity-Wyoming currently own or lease properties that are being used for the disposal of drilling and produced fluids from exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Although these subsidiaries follow operating and disposal practices that they considers appropriate under applicable laws and regulations, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the subsidiaries or on or under other locations where such wastes were taken for disposal. Infinity could incur liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or comparable

state statutes for contamination caused by wastes it generated or for contamination existing on properties it owns or leases, even if the contamination was caused by the waste disposal practices of the prior owners or operators of the properties. In addition, it is not uncommon for landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of produced fluids or other pollutants into the environment.
 
During December 2007, Infinity-Wyoming produced an average of 50 barrels of water per day from wells that it operates. Infinity-Wyoming currently uses four injection wells to dispose of the water into underground rock formations and plans to continue to use this method for disposal of the water produced from its operated wells. If the future wells produce water of lesser quality than allowed under state law for injection in underground rock formations or at a volume greater than can be injected into the current disposal wells, Infinity-Wyoming could incur costs of up to $7.50 per barrel of water to dispose of the produced water. At current production rates, this would cost Infinity-Wyoming approximately an additional $11,000 a month in water disposal costs. If Infinity-Wyoming’s wells produce water in excess of the limits of its permitted facilities, Infinity-Wyoming may have to drill additional disposal wells. Each additional disposal well could cost Infinity-Wyoming approximately $0.6 million. It costs Infinity-Wyoming approximately $1,500 per month to operate these disposal wells. All such production and two injection wells disposal facilities were sold to Forest in January 2008.
 
Infinity-Texas utilizes significant quantities of water in the fracture and stimulation of its wells in the Fort Worth Basin. Typically a high percentage of this water flows back and must be disposed of. Infinity-Texas drilled one disposal well in Erath County, Texas during 2005 at a cost of approximately $1 million. It costs Infinity-Texas approximately $12,000 per month to operate this disposal well.
 
Title to Properties
 
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, only a preliminary title examination is conducted at the time Infinity acquires leases of properties believed to be suitable for drilling operations. Prior to the commencement of drilling operations, a thorough title examination of the drill site tract is conducted by independent attorneys. Once production from a given well is established, Infinity prepares a division order title opinion indicating the proper parties and percentages for payment or production proceeds, including royalties. We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our material assets. Although title to these properties is subject to encumbrances in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with acquisition of real property, customary royalty interests and contract terms and restrictions, liens under operating agreements, liens related to environmental liabilities associated with historical operations, liens for current taxes and other burdens, easements, restrictions and minor encumbrances customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we believe that none of these liens, restrictions, easements, burdens and encumbrances will materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or will materially interfere with our use in the operation of our business. In addition, we believe that we have obtained sufficient rights-of-way grants and permits from public authorities and private parties for us to operate our business in all material respects.
 
Operating Hazards and Insurance
 
The oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating risks, such as those described under “Risk Factors.” In accordance with industry practice, we maintain insurance against some, but not all, potential risks and losses. For some risks, we may not obtain insurance if we believe the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event occurs and is not fully covered by insurance, it could adversely affect us.
 
Employees
 
On December 31, 2007, Infinity and its subsidiaries had 11 employees.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS
 
We have been unable to comply with certain requirements of our Revolving Credit Facility and may not be able to repay our borrowing base deficiency under the Revolving Credit Facility or satisfy other current liabilities.
 
We entered into a Second Forbearance Agreement in March 2008 with respect to events of default under our Revolving Credit Facility as a result of our failure to meet substantially all financial and certain other covenants during 2007. Under this agreement, Amegy has agreed to forebear from exercising any remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, the revolving note and the related loan documents and to temporarily waive the covered events of default through May 31, 2008. We are required to repay the $7.1 million borrowing base deficiency by May 31, 2008 (of the total $10.9 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility on March 27, 2008) through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, Amegy may at any time require us to proceed with the marketing of the assets of Infinity-Texas. Infinity may be unable to sell assets sufficient to repay the deficiency or to obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the amount due. In that event, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue to operate. In addition, if we breach additional provisions of the Loan Agreement or if, by May 31, 2008, we are unable to renegotiate certain continuing loan covenants or are unable to repay the borrowing base deficiency as required, Amegy will be entitled to declare an event of default, at which point the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing to Amegy, would become immediately due and payable. Infinity agreed to pay Amegy forbearance fees due in connection with the Forbearance Agreements of $0.6 million and additional fees consisting of $0.2 million for December 2007 and, for each month from January 2008 to May 2008, 1% of the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. Amegy has agreed not to charge a default interest rate (prime plus 6.5%) during the forbearance period, but is entitled to impose such rate upon termination of the forbearance period. There can be no assurance that waivers will be able to be obtained in this situation at all or on satisfactory terms. Amegy or other creditors may take action to enforce their rights with respect to outstanding obligations, and Infinity may be forced to liquidate. Because substantially all of our assets are collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, if Amegy declares an event of default, it would be entitled to foreclose on and take possession of our assets.
 
These matters, as well as the other risk factors related to our liquidity and financial position raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Even after sale of our remaining assets, we will likely be left with significant continuing liquidity concerns.
 
We have a history of losses and are currently experiencing substantial liquidity problems.
 
We incurred a net loss from continuing operations in our fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 of approximately $30.9 million, $58.8 million and $19.9 million, respectively. In addition, we are currently experiencing substantial liquidity problems. Although we are currently operating under the Second Forbearance Agreement with Amegy, the current forbearance period expires on May 31, 2008, and under the terms of the agreement, at such time we are required to repay the approximately $7.1 million borrowing base deficiency. We do not currently have the funds to repay such deficiency or to satisfy various other existing debts and obligations. If we cannot find a satisfactory resolution to our liquidity problems, we may be forced to cease operations and may be required to liquidate.
 
If we are able to address our immediate liquidity problems, our history of losses may impair our ability to obtain financing for drilling and other business activities on favorable terms or at all. It may also impair our ability to attract investors if we attempt to raise additional capital, to grow our business or for other business purposes, by selling additional debt or equity securities in a private or public offering. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to maintain and develop our properties.
 
We are continuing to negotiate with our creditors and may face additional claims in the future.
 
We continue to have substantial liabilities, in addition to amounts owed to Amegy, which we are currently unable to pay. We continue to negotiate with our creditors to mitigate and settle our known liabilities to them or their claims of liabilities and in some cases, to secure releases of liens which have been filed on certain of our properties.

Table of Contents

Various suits have been filed to enforce payments of liabilities and we are working to address these suits. We may incur additional liabilities if our liquidity situation deteriorates further and may face additional claims from creditors seeking to protect their interests in light of our announcements regarding our financial condition and business plans. We are unable to predict our success in attempting to negotiate with these parties nor the expense related to such negotiations or in defending any litigation related to these claims. These creditors may take action to force us into bankruptcy involuntarily. In addition, if we are unable to manage our current liabilities or substantial additional claims are asserted against us, we may be forced to seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code.
 
If we are unable to obtain lien releases on our Farmout properties, the commencement of drilling under the Farmout may continue to be delayed and the Farmout may be jeopardized.
 
Various liens have been filed on properties which are covered by the Farmout Agreement. The presence of these liens has delayed drilling under the Farmout Agreement. We continue to work with our creditors to mitigate and settle our liabilities and obtain releases for these liens, but we are unable to predict our success in attempting to settle with these parties and obtain releases. If we are unable to have such liens released, commencement of drilling may be further delayed and the success of the Farmout Agreement may be jeopardized, which would have a substantial adverse impact on the Company.
 
We may be unable to continue to operate due to our inability to obtain supplies and services.
 
We rely on a number of suppliers for day-to-day operations. We are experiencing delays in our ability to satisfy trade payables. In addition, as creditors react to news of our deteriorating financial situation, we may have further difficulties in obtaining supplies and services on a timely and cost-effective basis, and may be unable to obtain such supplies and services at all. Our inability to obtain the requisite supplies and services would have a substantial adverse impact on our ability to continue our operations and we could be forced to liquidate.
 
Our reduced exploration and development activities have caused us to lose certain leases and we may continue to lose substantial acreage.
 
We have substantially reduced our exploration and development activities to conserve cash. This has caused us to lose certain leases, and we are likely to continue to lose acreage as our liquidity concerns continue. If we are unable to resolve our liquidity issues in the near term, these losses could have an material adverse impact on Infinity.
 
Our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market if it is unable to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price.
 
The Company has received notice that if its common stock does not close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time before June 24, 2008, the Company will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market due to non-compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). If the Company’s common stock were delisted, shareholder value would be negatively impacted, and access to capital markets and the liquidity of our common stock would decrease.
 
Our Nicaraguan concessions and planned future exploration activities are in a country with a developing economy and are subject to the risks of political and economic instability associated with such economies.
 
Nicaragua has from time to time experienced economic or political instability. We may be materially adversely affected by risks associated with conducting operations in countries with developing economies, including:
 
  •  political instability and violence;
 
  •  war and civil disturbance;
 
  •  acts of terrorism;
 
  •  expropriation or nationalization;
 
  •  changing fiscal regimes;


19


Table of Contents

 
  •  fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
 
  •  high rates of inflation;
 
  •  underdeveloped industrial and economic infrastructure; and
 
  •  unenforceability of contractual rights.
 
We cannot accurately predict the effect of these factors on our concessions. In addition, legislation in the United States regulating foreign trade, investment and taxation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
The validity of the contracts relating to our concessions, and potentially the concessions themselves, has been challenged and Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions. We are unable to predict the results of our efforts to obtain ratifications of the contracts and concessions or the timing of any such resolution. If we are unsuccessful, our contracts or the concessions themselves may be deemed invalid.
 
Oil and gas prices are volatile, and declines in prices would hurt our ability to achieve profitable operations.
 
Our future oil and gas revenue, operating results, profitability, and the carrying value of oil and gas properties will depend heavily on prevailing market prices for oil and gas. We expect the market for oil and gas to continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. Gas price realizations ranged from a low of $1.19 per Mcf to a high of $8.54 per Mcf during the year ended December 31, 2007. Oil price realizations ranged from a low of $40.33 per barrel to a high of $89.83 per barrel during 2007. Based on fourth quarter 2007 production levels, each $1.00 decrease in the price of crude oil per barrel would reduce Infinity’s oil revenue by approximately $4,000 per month and each $0.10 decrease in natural gas price per Mcf would reduce Infinity’s gas revenue by approximately $7,000 per month.
 
At December 31, 2007, approximately 54% of our proved reserves are natural gas and approximately 46% of our reserves are oil. Therefore, the volatility in the price of natural gas and oil will both have a significant impact on our operations. However, following the sale of producing properties in January 2008, we are significantly more dependent on the price of natural gas. Various factors beyond our control affect prices of oil and gas, including:
 
  •  worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and gas;
 
  •  political instability or armed conflict in oil or gas producing regions;
 
  •  the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil prices;
 
  •  production controls;
 
  •  the price and level of foreign imports;
 
  •  worldwide economic conditions;
 
  •  marketability of production;
 
  •  the level of consumer demand;
 
  •  the price, availability and acceptance of alternative fuels;
 
  •  the price, availability and capacity of commodity processing and gathering facilities, and pipeline transportation;
 
  •  weather conditions; and
 
  •  actions of federal, state, local and foreign authorities.

These external factors and the volatile nature of the energy markets generally make it difficult to estimate future prices of oil and gas. Significant declines in oil and natural gas prices for an extended period may cause various negative effects on our business, including:
 
  •  further impairing our financial condition, cash flows and liquidity;
 
  •  limiting our ability to finance planned capital expenditures;
 
  •  reducing our revenue, operating income and profitability; and
 
  •  reducing the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties;
 
A charge to earnings and book value would occur if there is a further ceiling write-down of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties. Impairments can occur when oil and gas prices are depressed or unusually volatile. Once incurred, a ceiling write-down of oil and gas properties is not reversible at a later date when better industry conditions may exist. We review, on a quarterly basis, the carrying value of our oil and gas properties under the full cost accounting rules of the SEC. Under these rules, costs of proved oil and gas properties may not exceed the present value of estimated future net revenue after giving effect to cash flow from hedges but excluding the future cash out flows associated with settling asset retirement obligations, discounted at 10%, net of taxes. Application of the ceiling test generally requires pricing future revenue at the unescalated prices in effect as of the end of each fiscal quarter, after giving effect to Infinity’s cash flow hedge positions, if any, and requires a write-down for accounting purposes if the ceiling is exceeded, even if prices were depressed for only a short period of time.
 
At December 31, 2007, the carrying amount of oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $7 million based upon an average natural gas price of $7.21 per Mcf and an average oil price of $81.89 per barrel in effect at that date. However, based on the value received for proved properties sold in January 2008, the carrying value of those oil and gas properties exceeded their fair value at December 31, 2007 by an additional $4.6 million. Therefore, the Company recorded an aggregate ceiling write-down of $11.6 million at December 31, 2007, for a total write-down of $27.4 million in 2007. In 2006 and 2005, the Company also recorded ceiling write-downs of $37.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively. A decrease in oil or gas prices (which continue to remain volatile), an increase in production costs, a decrease in estimated gas production in future periods, or the reclassification of development costs to properties subject to depletion without an increase in associated proved reserves could result in a ceiling write-down during future periods.
 
Prices may be affected by regional factors.
 
The prices to be received for the natural gas production from our Wyoming and Texas properties will be determined mainly by factors affecting the regional supply of, and demand for, natural gas, which include the degree to which pipeline and processing infrastructure exists in the region. Regional differences could cause negative basis differentials, which could be significant, between the published indices generally used to establish the price received for regional natural gas production and the actual price received by us for our natural gas production.
 
Forward sales and hedging transactions may limit our potential gains or expose us to losses.
 
To manage our exposure to price risks in the marketing of our natural gas, we have in the past and may in the future enter into fixed price natural gas physical delivery contracts for a portion of our current or future production. These transactions could limit our potential gains if natural gas prices were to rise substantially over the prices established by the contracts. In addition, such transactions may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which:
 
  •  our production is less than expected;
 
  •  the counterparties to our contracts fail to perform under the contracts; or
 
  •  our production costs on the contracted production significantly increase.

Exploration and development of our oil and gas projects will require large amounts of capital which we may not be able to obtain.
 
Currently our primary exploration and development activities are expected to take place under the Farmout Agreement, which will be carried out by Forest. If we achieve success under the Farmout Agreement or are otherwise able to consider future exploration and development of our properties, we would be required to obtain large amounts of additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Our potential sources of financing for these activities are cash generated by operations, availability under credit facilities, if any, and future sales of equity securities or subordinated debt securities.
 
Future cash flows and the availability of financing are subject to a number of variables, such as:
 
  •  our oil and gas projects in the Fort Worth Basin of Texas, Greater Green River Basin of Wyoming, and Sand Wash and Piceance Basins of Colorado achieving and maintaining a level of production that provides sufficient cash flow to support additional borrowings and to attract other forms of debt and equity capital;
 
  •  our success in locating and producing new reserves;
 
  •  prices of crude oil and natural gas;
 
  •  the level of production from existing wells; and
 
  •  amounts of necessary working capital and expenses.
 
Issuing equity securities to satisfy our financing or refinancing requirements could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Debt financing could lead to:
 
  •  all or a substantial portion of our operating cash flow, if any, being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest;
 
  •  an increase in interest expense as the amount of debt outstanding increases or as variable interest rates increase;
 
  •  increased vulnerability to competitive pressures and economic downturns; and
 
  •  restrictions on our operations that may be contained in any contract entered into with lenders.
 
In order to reduce our capital needs, while continuing development of our oil and gas projects, we could enter into partnerships with another oil and gas company or companies in which we would maintain a carried or reduced working interest in the oil and gas properties. However, this would reduce our ownership and control over the projects and could significantly reduce our future revenue generated from oil and gas production.
 
If projected revenue were to decrease due to lower oil and natural gas prices, decreased production or other reasons, and if we were not able to obtain the necessary capital, our ability to execute development plans or maintain our properties and production levels could be limited.
 
Information concerning our reserves, future net cash flow estimates, and potential future ceiling write-downs is uncertain.
 
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and their values. Actual production, revenue and reserve expenditures will likely vary from estimates.
 
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on available geologic, geophysical, production and engineering data. There are uncertainties inherent in the manner of producing and the interpretation of this data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of factors including:
 
  •  the quality and quantity of available data;
 
  •  the interpretation of that data;
 
  •  the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and


22


Table of Contents

 
  •  the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.
 
The most accurate method of determining proved reserve estimates is based upon a decline analysis method, which consists of extrapolating future reservoir pressure and production from historical pressure decline and production data. The accuracy of the decline analysis method generally increases with the length of the production history. Since many of our wells in Texas have been producing for less than two years, other (generally less accurate) methods such as volumetric analysis and analogy to the production history of wells of other operators in the same reservoir are used, in conjunction with the decline analysis method, to determine our estimates of proved reserves. As our wells are produced over time and more data is available, our estimated proved reserves will be redetermined at least annually and may be adjusted based on that data.
 
Actual future production, gas and oil prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable gas and oil reserves most likely will vary from our estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, results of exploration and development and prevailing gas and oil prices. Our reserves may also be susceptible to drainage by operators on adjacent properties.
 
Investors should not construe the present value of future net cash flows as the current market value of the estimated oil and natural gas reserves attributable to our properties. The estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves are based on prices and costs as of the date of the estimate, in accordance with applicable regulations, whereas actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower. Factors that will affect actual future net cash flows include:
 
  •  the amount and timing of actual production;
 
  •  the price for which that oil and gas production can be sold;
 
  •  supply and demand for oil and natural gas;
 
  •  curtailments or increases in consumption by natural gas and oil purchasers; and
 
  •  changes in government regulations or taxation.
 
As a result of these and other factors, we will be required to periodically reassess the amount of our reserves, which may require us to recognize a ceiling write-down of our oil and gas properties. In 2007, 2006 and 2005 we recorded ceiling write-downs of $27.4 million, $37.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively. These factors could cause us to write down the value of our properties in future periods.
 
As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $17 million invested in unproved oil and gas properties not subject to amortization. During 2008, a portion of the investment in unproved oil and gas properties may be reclassified to the full cost pool subject to depletion and the ceiling test, following our required periodic evaluation of the fair value of our unproved properties. The amount of any such reclassification could be significant. We could be required to write down a portion of the full cost pool of oil and gas properties subject to amortization upon reclassification of the unproved oil and gas property costs.
 
The oil and gas exploration business involves a high degree of business and financial risk.
 
The business of exploring for and developing oil and gas properties involves a high degree of business and financial risk. Property acquisition decisions generally are based on assumptions about the quantity, quality, production costs, marketability, and sales price for the acreage or reserves being acquired. Although available geological and geophysical information can provide information about the potential of a property, it is impossible to predict accurately the ultimate production potential, if any, of a particular property or well. Any decision to acquire a property is also influenced by our subjective judgment as to whether we will be able to locate the reserves, drill and equip the wells to produce the reserves, operate the wells economically, and market the production from the wells.
 
Our operations are dependent upon the availability of certain resources, including drilling rigs, steel casing, water, chemicals, and other materials necessary to support our development plans and maintenance requirements. The lack of availability of one or more of these resources at an acceptable price could have a material adverse affect on our business.

Table of Contents

The successful completion of an oil or gas well does not ensure a profit on investment. A variety of factors may negatively affect the commercial viability of any particular well, including:
 
  •  defects in title;
 
  •  the absence of producible quantities of oil and gas;
 
  •  insufficient formation attributes, such as porosity, to allow production;
 
  •  water production requiring disposal; and
 
  •  improperly pressured reservoirs from which to produce the reserves.
 
In addition, market-related factors may cause a well to become uneconomic or only marginally economic, such as:
 
  •  availability and cost of equipment and transportation for the production;
 
  •  demand for the oil and gas produced; and
 
  •  price for the oil and gas produced.
 
Our business is subject to operating hazards that could result in substantial losses against which we may not be insured.
 
The oil and natural gas business involves operating hazards, any of which could cause substantial losses, such as:
 
  •  well blowouts;
 
  •  craterings;
 
  •  explosions;
 
  •  uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids;
 
  •  fires;
 
  •  formations with abnormal pressures;
 
  •  pipeline ruptures or spills; and
 
  •  releases of toxic gas and other environmental hazards and pollution.
 
As protection against operating hazards, we maintain insurance coverage against some, but not all, potential losses. This insurance has deductibles or self-insured retentions and contains certain coverage exclusions. Our insurance premiums can be increased or decreased based on the claims made by us under insurance policies. The insurance does not cover damages from breach of contract by us or based on alleged fraud or deceptive trade practices. Whenever possible, we obtain agreements from customers that limit our liability; however, insurance and customer agreements do not provide complete protection against losses and risks and losses could occur for uninsurable or uninsured risks, or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event that is not fully covered by insurance could harm our financial condition and results of operations.
 
In addition, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners of property we own or lease. As a result, we may face substantial potential liabilities to third parties or governmental entities that could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or cause us to incur losses. An event that is not fully covered by insurance — for instance, losses resulting from pollution and environmental risks that are not fully insured — could cause us to incur material losses.

Our future production is contingent on successful exploration, development and acquisitions to maintain reserves and revenue in the future.
 
In general, the volume of production from natural gas and oil properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Except to the extent we conduct successful exploration and development activities or acquire properties containing proved reserves, or both, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. Our future natural gas and oil production is, therefore, highly dependent on our level of success in finding or acquiring additional reserves. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Recovery of our reserves, particularly undeveloped reserves, will require significant additional capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. In our current financial situation, we are unable to engage in significant exploration or development efforts or acquisitions of additional properties, and if we are unable to address our liquidity problems and make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of natural gas and oil reserves our future operations will be impaired.
 
Exploratory drilling is an uncertain process with many risks.
 
Exploratory drilling involves numerous risks, including the risk that we will not find commercially productive natural gas or oil reservoirs. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain, and a number of factors can delay or prevent drilling operations, including:
 
  •  unexpected drilling conditions;
 
  •  pressure or irregularities in formations;
 
  •  equipment failures or accidents;
 
  •  adverse weather conditions;
 
  •  defects in title;
 
  •  compliance with governmental requirements, rules and regulations; and
 
  •  shortages or delays in the availability of drilling rigs, the delivery of equipment and adequately trained personnel.
 
Our future drilling activities may not be successful, and we cannot be sure of our overall drilling success rate. Unsuccessful drilling activities would result in significant expenses being incurred without any financial gain.
 
Our business depends on transportation facilities owned by others.
 
The marketability of our gas production depends in part on the availability, proximity and capacity of pipeline systems owned by third parties. We generally deliver natural gas through gas gathering systems and gas pipelines that we do not own under interruptible or short-term transportation agreements. The transportation of our gas may be interrupted due to capacity constraints on the applicable system, or for maintenance or repair of the system. Our ability to produce and market natural gas on a commercial basis could be harmed by any significant change in the cost or availability of markets, systems or pipelines.
 
The oil and gas industry is heavily regulated and we must comply with complex governmental regulations.
 
Federal, state and local authorities extensively regulate the oil and gas industry and the drilling and completion of oil and gas wells. Legislation and regulations affecting the industry are under constant review for amendment or expansion, raising the possibility of changes that may adversely affect, among other things, the pricing and production or marketing of oil and gas. Noncompliance with statutes and regulations may lead to substantial penalties and the overall regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and, in turn, decreases profitability. Federal, state and local authorities regulate various aspects of oil and gas drilling, service and production activities, including the drilling of wells through permit and bonding requirements, the spacing of wells, the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, environmental matters, safety standards, the sharing of markets, production limitations, plugging and abandonment, and restoration.

Our operations are subject to complex and constantly changing environmental laws and regulations adopted by federal, state and local government authorities. Infinity spent approximately $1.0 million to drill and equip one water disposal well in 2005 to handle water produced from gas wells. It costs Infinity up to $0.2 million per year to operate a disposal well. New laws or regulations, or changes to current requirements, could result in our incurring significant additional costs. We could face significant liabilities to government and third parties for discharges of oil, natural gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water, and we could have to spend substantial amounts on investigations, litigation and remediation.
 
Although we believe that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, we cannot be certain that existing laws or regulations, as currently interpreted or reinterpreted in the future, or future laws or regulations, will not harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Laws and regulations applicable to us include those relating to:
 
  •  land use restrictions;
 
  •  drilling bonds and other financial responsibility requirements;
 
  •  spacing of wells;
 
  •  emissions into the air;
 
  •  unitization and pooling of properties;
 
  •  habitat and endangered species protection, reclamation and remediation;
 
  •  the containment and disposal of hazardous substances, oil field waste and other waste materials;
 
  •  the use of underground storage tanks;
 
  •  the use of underground injection wells, which affects the disposal of water from our wells;
 
  •  safety precautions;
 
  •  the prevention of oil spills;
 
  •  the closure of production facilities;
 
  •  operational reporting; and
 
  •  taxation.
 
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for:
 
  •  personal injuries;
 
  •  property and natural resource damages;
 
  •  releases or discharges of hazardous materials;
 
  •  well reclamation costs;
 
  •  oil spill clean-up costs;

Our operations and facilities are subject to numerous environmental laws, rules and regulations, including laws concerning:
 
  •  the containment and disposal of hazardous substances, oilfield waste and other waste materials;
 
  •  the use of underground storage tanks; and
 
  •  the use of underground injection wells.
 
Compliance with and violations of laws protecting the environment may become more costly. Sanctions for failure to comply with these laws, rules and regulations, many of which may be applied retroactively, may include:
 
  •  administrative, civil and criminal penalties;
 
  •  revocation of permits; and
 
  •  corrective action orders.
 
In the United States, environmental laws and regulations typically impose strict liability. Strict liability means that in some situations we could be exposed to liability for cleanup costs and other damages as a result of our conduct, even if such conduct was lawful at the time it occurred, or as a result of the conduct of prior operators or other third parties. Cleanup costs, natural resource damages and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws and regulations, and costs associated with changes in environmental laws and regulations, could be substantial. From time to time, claims have been made against us under environmental laws.
 
Large volumes of water produced from coalbed methane wells and discharged onto the surface in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming have drawn the attention of government agencies, gas producers, citizens and environmental groups which may result in new regulations for the disposal of produced water. We use injection wells to dispose of water into underground rock formations at certain of our fields and we plan to continue to use this method and to discharge onto the surface where permissible. If our wells produce water of lesser quality than allowed under Colorado, Texas or Wyoming state law for surface discharge or injection into underground rock formations, we could incur costs of up to $7.50 per barrel of water to dispose of the produced water. At December 2007 production rates, this disposal would cost us an additional $0.4 million per month in average water disposal costs. If our wells produce water in excess of the limits of our existing disposal facilities, we may have to drill additional disposal wells. Each additional disposal well could cost us up to $1.0 million.
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.
 
We operate in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, development and production with many other companies. We face intense competition from a large number of independent companies as well as major oil and natural gas companies in a number of areas such as:
 
  •  acquisition of desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration;
 
  •  marketing our oil and natural gas production;
 
  •  arranging for growth capital on attractive terms; and
 
  •  seeking to acquire or secure the equipment, service, labor, other personnel and materials necessary to explore, operate and develop those properties.
 
Many of our competitors have financial and technological resources substantially exceeding those available to us. Many oil and gas properties are sold in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise or financial resources available to other bidders. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition.
 
We depend on key personnel.
 
The loss of key members of our management team, or difficulty attracting and retaining experienced technical personnel, could reduce our competitiveness and prospects for future success. Our success depends on the continued services of our executive officers and a limited number of other senior management and technical personnel. Loss of

the services of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on our operations. We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers. Our exploratory drilling success and the success of other activities integral to our operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced explorationists, engineers and other professionals. Competition for experienced explorationists, engineers and some other professionals is extremely intense. If we cannot retain our technical personnel or attract additional experienced technical personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Infinity follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. See “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” included in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Infinity and its operating subsidiaries, Infinity-Texas and Infinity-Wyoming, are engaged in identifying and acquiring oil and gas acreage, exploring and developing acquired acreage and oil and gas production, with a focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of and production from its properties in the Fort Worth Basin of north central Texas and Greater Green River, Sand Wash and Piceance Basins of southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado. Infinity has also been awarded a 1.4 million acre concession offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea, which it intends to explore over the next few years. The validity of the contracts relating to our concessions, and potentially the concessions themselves, has been challenged and Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions.
 
On December 15, 2006, Infinity sold its oilfield services business for approximately $52 million. Infinity has reflected the results its oilfield services business as discontinued operations in its statements of operations and balance sheet. The Company’s discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis is presented on a continuing operations basis.
 
Infinity, through Infinity-Texas, continued its exploration and production operations in the Fort Worth Basin of Texas during the year ended December 31, 2007. Infinity-Texas successfully drilled seven horizontal and two vertical exploratory wells during 2007. Infinity-Texas’ operations benefit from year-round access to exploration and development locations, ease of permitting, better weather, and less restrictive government and environmental laws and regulations. Meanwhile, Infinity-Wyoming continued to explore and develop the various projects and prospects in the Rocky Mountain region, but was hampered by weather, governmental and environmental restrictions and regulations, as well as various operational issues at the Labarge, Pipeline and Sand Wash fields. On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with 80% of the working interest owned by the Company in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming to Forest. The transaction resulted in the sale of approximately 62% of the Company’s proved reserve quantities and 73% of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow.
 
Infinity expects to continue to explore and develop its Fort Worth Basin acreage and its Rocky Mountain prospects. Infinity expects its Rocky Mountain projects to proceed more slowly, due in part to governmental restrictions. Infinity borrowed $22 million under its Credit Facility to fund its working capital requirements and exploration activities during 2007. In January 2008, Infinity repaid approximately $11 million under the Credit Facility through a portion of the proceeds from the sale of oil and gas properties to Forest. In addition to cash flows from operating activities, Infinity will require external financing during 2008 and beyond to fund its current borrowing base deficiency, debt service, working capital requirements and exploration activities. The type, timing, cost and amounts of such financing, if any, will depend upon general energy and capital markets conditions and the success of Infinity’s operations.
 
The Company engaged Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. to prepare its December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 third-party reserve evaluations. Results of these evaluations are disclosed in the “Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures” in Infinity’s Consolidated Financial Statements and in the “Oil and Natural Gas Reserves” section of Item 1. and Item 2. Business and Properties.

Under full cost accounting rules, Infinity reviews, on a quarterly basis, the carrying value of its oil and gas properties. Under these rules, capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties may not exceed the present value of estimated future revenue at the prices in effect as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and a write-down for accounting purposes is required if the ceiling is exceeded. During 2007, the Company recognized aggregate ceiling write-downs of $27.4 million as a result of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeding the full cost ceiling limitation. In 2006 and 2005, the Company also recorded ceiling write-downs of $37.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively. A decline in prices received for oil and gas sales, an increase in operating costs subsequent to the measurement date, reductions in estimated economically recoverable quantities or reclassification of the cost of properties not being amortized could result in the recognition of additional ceiling write-downs of oil and gas properties in future periods.
 
2008 Operational and Financial Objectives
 
On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with 80% of the working interest owned by the Company in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Substantially all of Infinity-Wyoming’s remaining undeveloped leaseholds will require additional geological and geophysical analysis prior to identifying and drilling prospective prospects. Infinity-Wyoming anticipates 2008 capital expenditures will be limited and likely less than $1 million to plug and abandon and perform reclamation activities on ten to fifteen wells and potentially to conduct additional geological and geophysical analysis.
 
In addition, concurrent with the Infinity-Wyoming sale, Infinity-Texas entered into a Farmout Agreement with Forest relating to certain oil and gas leaseholds owned by it in Erath County, Texas. We anticipate that Forest will begin drilling in May 2008 and we would expect to realize the benefits of initial production from those activities beginning in the third or fourth quarters of 2008. Infinity-Texas plans to focus on maintaining its production in the Fort Worth Basin of central Texas. Infinity-Texas anticipates its 2008 capital expenditures will be limited and likely less than $1 million to potentially complete two vertical wells awaiting completion at December 31, 2007.
 
The Company’s ability to complete these activities is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to:
 
  •  The availability of the capital resources required to fund the activity;
 
  •  The availability of third party contractors for completion services; and
 
  •  The approval by regulatory agencies of applications for permits to conduct exploration activities in a timely manner.

Corporate Activities
 
The validity of the contracts relating to our Nicaraguan concessions, and potentially the concessions themselves, has been challenged and Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions. Following the receipt of those ratifications, Infinity plans to conduct an environmental study and the development of geological information from reprocessing and additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data to be acquired over its Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua. Infinity has cash on deposit to secure letters of credit of approximately $0.9 million for this initial work on the leases. Infinity also intends to seek offers from other industry operators for interests in the acreage in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations. No assurance can be given that any such transactions will be consummated.
 
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to the year
ended December 31, 2006
 
Net Loss
 
Infinity incurred a net loss of $30.9 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, in 2007 compared to a net loss of $12.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in 2006. The change between periods was the result of the items discussed below.
 
Revenue
 
Infinity achieved total oil and gas revenue of $9.4 million in 2007 compared to $12.3 million in 2006. The $2.9 million, or 23%, decrease in revenue consisted of an approximate $0.2 million decrease attributable to lower average prices and a $2.7 million decrease attributable to lower oil and gas production. The decrease in average price was attributable to a 4% increase in the average natural gas price received, offset by a 6% decrease in the average price received for oil in 2007 as compared to 2006. The 18% decrease in natural gas production was principally the result of natural production declines. The 31% decrease in crude oil production was partially the result of natural production declines, but also as a result of the Wolf Mountain 15-2-7-87 well being shut-in for several months during 2007 for maintenance and repairs, including the month following the production facilities fire in March 2007.
 
Production Expenses
 
Oil and gas production expenses increased to $5.6 million, or $4.36 per Mcfe, during 2007, from $4.6 million, or $2.81 per Mcfe, in the prior year. The increase in production expenses during 2007 was attributable to a $0.6 million accrual for the settlement of volume deficiencies during 2003 through 2006 under a natural gas delivery commitment contract at the Company’s field in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, significantly higher well workover costs on projects deferred from the second-half of 2006; and repair and maintenance costs associated with the production equipment fire on the Wolf Mountain 15-2-7-87 well.
 
Production Taxes
 
Oil and gas production taxes for 2007 decreased to $0.5 million from $0.8 million in 2006 principally as a result of the decrease in revenue and production.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.5 million for 2007, from $3.6 million in the prior year. The decrease was due to an approximate $0.5 million decrease in personnel and personnel related costs, offset by a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense recorded during 2007 as compared to 2006.
 
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion
 
Infinity recognized depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”) expense of approximately $5.6 million during 2007, a decrease of approximately $2.3 million, or 30% as compared to DD&A expense of approximately $7.9 million in the prior year. The decrease in DD&A expense was principally due to the 22%


33


Table of Contents

decrease in equivalent production in 2007 and partially due to a decrease in the carrying costs of the Company’s proved oil and gas properties following the ceiling write-downs recorded in current and prior years.
 
Ceiling Write-down
 
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company recognized aggregate ceiling write-downs of $15.8 million as a result of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeding the full cost ceiling limitation. At December 31, 2007, the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $7.0 million, based upon an average natural gas price of approximately $7.21 per Mcf and an average oil price of approximately $81.89 per barrel in effect at that date. However, based on the value received for proved properties sold in January 2008, the carrying value of those oil and gas properties exceeded their fair value by an additional $4.6 million. Therefore, the Company recorded an aggregate ceiling write-down of $11.6 million at December 31, 2007, for a total of $27.4 million in 2007. In 2006, the Company recorded ceiling write-downs totaling $37.8 million.

Other income and expense was a net income of $2.1 million in 2007 compared to a net expense of $16.3 million in the prior year. The change of $18.4 million was principally due to (i) a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates during 2007, (ii) $0.8 million decrease in amortization costs resulting from lower debt issuance costs recorded in connection with the Company’s credit facility, and (iii) $27.2 million early extinguishment of debt expense resulting from amendments to and repayment of the Company’s senior secured notes in 2006, partially offset by a $11.2 million decrease in income resulting from the decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
 
Income Tax
 
Infinity reflected no net tax benefit or expense in 2007 and 2006. The net operating losses generated in those periods increased Infinity’s net deferred tax asset. Due to uncertainty as to the ultimate utilization of the Company’s net deferred tax asset, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset, as further described in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On December 15, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its oilfield services subsidiaries for approximately $52 million in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $33.9 million. Results from the Company’s oilfield subsidiaries are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods. Included in income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 are revenue and pretax income of $34.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively.
 
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005
 
On December 15, 2006, Infinity sold its oilfield services business for approximately $52 million. Infinity has reflected the results its oilfield services business as discontinued operations in its statements of operations and balance sheet. The Company’s discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis is presented on a continuing operations basis.
 
Net Loss
 
Infinity incurred a net loss after taxes of $12.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in 2006 compared to a net loss after taxes of $13.6 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in 2005. The change between periods was the result of the items discussed below.

Table of Contents

Revenue
 
Infinity achieved total oil and gas revenue of $12.3 million in 2006 compared to $9.2 million in 2005. The increase in oil and gas revenue was the result of improved price realizations combined with higher oil and natural gas sales volumes. The increase in sales volumes was due primarily to successful developmental drilling in the Sand Wash Basin in northwest Colorado and successful exploratory drilling in the Fort Worth Basin.
 
Production Expenses
 
Oil and gas production expenses increased to $4.6 million, or $2.81 per Mcfe, during 2006, from $3.5 million, or $2.76 per Mcfe, in the prior year. The increase in production expenses during 2006 was attributable to a full year of costs incurred at the Company’s Sand Wash Basin property, which began producing in March 2005, and Fort Worth Basin properties, which began producing in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in production cost on a per Mcfe basis was the result of a year-over-year increase in oilfield services costs.
 
Production Taxes
 
Oil and gas production taxes for 2006 decreased slightly to $0.8 million from $0.9 million in 2005 as a result of a decrease in production from the Pipeline Field located in Wyoming where production taxes are higher than the Company’s other producing locations. In addition, oil and gas production taxes for 2006 include a credit of approximately $0.1 million recorded in the period to reflect estimated refunds of production taxes paid in prior periods. The estimated refunds result from the June 2006 designation of the Barnett Shale in Erath County, Texas as an area eligible for a reduced production tax rate. As a result of this designation, the Company reflects the payments of severance tax for the eligible wells as a prepayment rather than as production tax expense.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased to $3.6 million for 2006, from $3.0 million in the prior year. The increase was largely due to costs associated with the Company’s efforts to refinance its debt in the 2006 period, an increase in personnel and personnel related costs and stock-based compensation expense recorded during the 2006 period.
 
Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion
 
Infinity recognized depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”) expense of approximately $7.9 million during 2006, an increase of approximately $1.7 million compared to DD&A expense of approximately $6.2 million in the prior year. The increase in DD&A expense was due to an increase in finding costs associated with the Company’s exploration and development program and increased oil and gas production.
 
Ceiling Write-down
 
During the first nine months of 2006, the Company recognized aggregate ceiling write-downs of $26.6 million as a result of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeding the full cost ceiling limitation. At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $14.3 million, based upon a natural gas price of approximately $5.66 per Mcf and an oil price of approximately $48.56 per barrel in effect at that date. However, based on subsequent pricing of approximately $7.07 per Mcf of gas and approximately $47.60 per barrel of oil at the March 5, 2007 measurement date, the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $11.2 million. Therefore, the Company recorded an additional ceiling write-down of $11.2 million at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the carrying amount of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $13.5 million based upon an average natural gas price of $8.21 per Mcf and an average oil price of $60.74 per barrel in effect at that date.

Other Income (Expense)
 
Other income and expense was a net expense of $16.3 million in 2006 compared to a net expense of $2.0 million in the prior year. The change of $14.3 million was principally due to (i) a $0.7 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in average debt outstanding and higher average interest rates during 2006, (ii) $0.2 million of additional amortization costs resulting from higher debt issuance costs recorded in connection with the Company’s issuance of senior secured notes in 2005 and 2006, and (iii) $26.2 million of additional early extinguishment of debt expense resulting from amendments to and repayment of the Company’s senior secured notes, partially offset by a $11.8 million increase in income resulting from the decrease in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
 
Income Tax
 
Infinity reflected no net tax benefit or expense from continuing operations in 2006 and 2005. The net operating losses generated in those periods increased Infinity’s net deferred tax asset. Included in gain on sale of discontinued operations for 2006 is $0.5 million of estimated alternative minimum taxes. Due to uncertainty as to the ultimate utilization of the Company’s net deferred tax asset, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On December 15, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its oilfield services subsidiaries for approximately $52 million in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $33.4 million, net of taxes of $0.5 million. Results from the Company’s oilfield subsidiaries are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods. Included in income from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are revenues of $34.6 million and $21.6 million, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, we have had a history of losses. In addition, we have a significant working capital deficit and are currently experiencing substantial liquidity problems. As discussed in Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is currently operating under a Second Forbearance Agreement with Amegy under the Revolving Credit Facility. We entered into the Second Forbearance Agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility as a result of our failure to meet substantially all financial and certain other covenants during certain periods of 2007. Under this agreement, Amegy has agreed to forebear from exercising any remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, the revolving note and the related loan documents and to temporarily waive the covered events of default through May 31, 2008. We are required to repay the $7.1 million borrowing base deficiency by May 31, 2008 through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Agreement, Amegy may at any time require us to proceed with the marketing of the assets of Infinity-Texas. Infinity may be unable to sell assets sufficient to repay the deficiency or to obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the amount due. In that event, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue to operate. In addition, if we breach additional provisions of the Loan Agreement or if, by May 31, 2008, we are unable to renegotiate certain continuing loan covenants or are unable to repay the borrowing base deficiency as required, Amegy will be entitled to declare an event of default, at which point the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing to Amegy, would become immediately due and payable. Infinity agreed to pay Amegy forbearance fees due in connection with the Forbearance Agreements of $0.6 million and additional fees consisting of $0.2 million for December 2007 and, for each month from January 2008 to May 2008, 1% of the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. Amegy has agreed not to charge a default interest rate (prime plus 6.5%) during the forbearance period, but is entitled to impose such rate upon termination of the forbearance period. There can be no assurance that waivers will be able to be obtained in this situation at all or on satisfactory terms. Amegy or other creditors may take action to enforce their rights with respect to outstanding obligations, and Infinity may be forced to liquidate. Because substantially all of our assets are collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, if Amegy declares an event of default, it would be entitled to foreclose on and take possession of our assets.

Table of Contents

As a result, the Company has classified all $22 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2007 as a current liability in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concurrent with the sale of assets on January 7, 2008, the Company repaid $11.1 million of principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, settled commodity derivative liabilities of $2.3 million, settled general and administrative liabilities of approximately $0.7 million and established an escrow account in the amount of $3.7 million to potentially settle exploration and operating liabilities of Infinity-Texas in the amount of approximately $4.8 million. The Company plans to negotiate with and seek concessions from its trade creditors in order to satisfy these obligations. The Company may also seek an extension to repay the borrowing base deficiency should it be unable to sell assets or obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the deficiency by May 31, 2008.
 
Due to the uncertainties related to these matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Infinity’s primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations, if any, sales of assets and debt and equity financings. Infinity’s primary needs for cash are for the operation, development, production, exploration and acquisition of oil and gas properties and for fulfillment of working capital obligations.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficit of $30.2 million, compared to a working capital deficit of $6.9 million at December 31, 2006. The $23.3 million change in working capital is largely the result of the current classification of $22 million due under our Credit Facility at December 31, 2007. As a result of the sale of assets in January 2008, and the related repayment of debt and settlement of accounts payable and accrued commodity derivative liabilities, our working capital deficit was reduced by approximately $17.6 million.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2007, cash used in operating activities was $4.2 million, compared to $14.9 million provided by operating activities in 2006. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $19.1 million was primarily due to the exclusion of cash formerly provided by discontinued operations.
 
During 2007, cash used in investing activities was $17.0 million, compared to $18.0 million provided by investing activities in 2006. Excluding net proceeds of $49.7 million from the sale of the Company’s oilfield services business, cash used in investing activities during 2006 was $31.7 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities of $14.7 million was primarily attributable to an $8.4 million decrease in exploration and development capital expenditures resulting from the suspension of exploration and development activities in mid-2007, and a decrease of $5.6 million in oilfield services capital expenditures.
 
During 2007, cash provided by financing activities was $21.1 million, compared to $40.0 million used in financing activities during 2006. The net change of $61.1 million was principally due to the repayment of a net $40.0 million of debt during 2006 compared to net debt proceeds of $21.1 million received in 2007.
 
On December 15, 2006, Infinity completed the sale of its oilfield services subsidiaries, Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. and CIS-Oklahoma, Inc. for approximately $52 million in cash. Infinity’s former oilfield services business is reported as a discontinued operation in the accompanying statements of operations and balance sheets; however, cash flows from the former oilfield services business are not reflected separately in the accompanying statements of cash flows. The following table quantifies cash flows from the discontinued operation by category:
 
                 
    2006     2005  
 
Net cash provided by (used in)(in millions):
               
Operating activities
  $ 13     $ 8  
Investing activities
  $ (5 )   $ (4 )
Financing activities
  $     $ (4 )
 
Historically, a significant portion of cash flows from Infinity’s former oilfield services business was used to fund corporate overhead, debt service (or interest) and a portion of Infinity’s oil and gas exploration and development activities. The absence of such cash flows is expected to impact the overall debt required by Infinity to fund such activities in the future.

Infinity used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of its oilfield services business to repay outstanding indebtedness under its former senior secured notes facility.
 
Outlook for 2008
 
Depending on the availability of capital resources, the availability of third party contractors for drilling and completion services, and satisfaction of regulatory activities, Infinity could incur capital expenditures of approximately $1 million to $2 million during 2008. Approximate capital expenditures by operating entity are anticipated to be less than $1 million by each of Infinity-Texas and Infinity-Wyoming; and approximately $1 million by Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.
 
The Company had $22 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2007. Concurrent with the sale of assets on January 7, 2008, the Company repaid $11.1 million of principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
The Company has entered into a Second Forbearance Agreement with respect to events of default under our Revolving Credit Facility as a result of our failure to meet substantially all financial and certain other covenants during certain periods of 2007. Under this agreement, Amegy has agreed to forebear from exercising any remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, the revolving note and the related loan documents and to temporarily waive the covered events of default through May 31, 2008. The Company is required to repay the $7.1 million borrowing base deficiency by May 31, 2008 through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. If additional events of default occur, there can be no assurance that such waivers will be obtained in the future or on satisfactory terms. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, Amegy may at any time require us to proceed with the marketing of the assets of Infinity-Texas. Infinity may be unable to sell assets sufficient to repay the deficiency or to obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the amount due. In that event, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue to operate. In addition, if we breach additional provisions of the Loan Agreement or if, by May 31, 2008, we are unable to renegotiate certain continuing loan covenants or are unable to repay the borrowing base deficiency as required, Amegy will be entitled to declare an event of default, at which point the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing to Amegy would become immediately due and payable. Infinity agreed to pay Amegy forbearance fees due in connection with the Forbearance Agreements of $0.6 million and additional fees consisting of $0.2 million for December 2007 and, for each month from January 2008 to May 2008, 1% of the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. Amegy has agreed not to charge a default interest rate (prime plus 6.5%) during the forbearance period, but is entitled to impose such rate upon termination of the forbearance period. There can be no assurance that waivers will be able to be obtained in this situation at all or on satisfactory terms. Amegy or other creditors may take action to enforce their rights with respect to outstanding obligations, and Infinity may be forced to liquidate. Because substantially all of our assets are collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, if Amegy declares an event of default, it would be entitled to foreclose on and take possession of our assets.
 
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest at prime plus 0.50%.
 
Depending on the market price for crude oil and natural gas during 2008, the number of wells ultimately drilled under the Farmout Agreement and stabilized production levels from wells expected to be placed on line during 2008 under the farmout arrangement, Infinity would expect to generate cash flow from operating activities during 2008 of between $0.5 million and $1 million before debt service and working capital requirements.
 
In summary, Infinity believes that it will have approximately $1.5 million to $2 million before debt service and working capital requirements available to it in 2008 from cash from operating activities, and cash collateral of $0.9 million securing letters of credit related to its Nicaraguan concessions to fund its 2008 planned capital expenditures of $1 million to $2 million.
 
If cash flow from operating activities is not at levels anticipated, Infinity may seek the forward sale of oil and gas production, partnerships or strategic alliances for the development of its undeveloped acreage, the public or private offering of common or preferred equity or subordinated debt, asset sales, or other joint interest or joint venture opportunities to fund any cash shortfalls, or, because a portion of Infinity’s planned capital expenditures are discretionary, Infinity could decrease the level of its planned capital expenditures.

Critical Estimates
 
Following is a discussion of estimates used in the preparation of Infinity’s financial statements that management deems to be critical in nature because either (i) the accounting estimate requires the Company to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and different estimates could have reasonably been used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or (ii) in management’s judgment changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period would have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
Reserve Estimates
 
Infinity’s estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation, and judgment. For example, the Company must estimate the amount and timing of future operating costs, production and property taxes, development costs, and workover costs, all of which may, in fact, vary considerably from actual results. In addition, as prices and cost levels change from year to year, the estimate of proved reserves also changes. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of the Company’s reserves. Despite the inherent imprecision in these engineering estimates, oil and gas reserves are used throughout Infinity’s financial statements. For example, since oil and gas properties are depleted using the units-of-production method, the quantity of reserves could significantly impact DD&A expense. In addition, oil and gas properties are subject to a ceiling limitation based in part on the quantity of proved reserves. Finally, these reserves are the basis for supplemental oil and gas disclosures.
 
Unproved Properties
 
On a quarterly basis, the costs of unproved properties are evaluated for inclusion in the costs to be amortized resulting from the determination of proved reserves, impairments, or reductions in value. To the extent that the evaluation indicates these properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. Abandonments of unproved properties are accounted for as an adjustment to capitalized costs related to proved oil and gas properties, with no losses recognized.
 
Fair Value of Derivatives
 
The Company records all derivative instruments assets or liabilities at estimated fair value on the balance sheet. The accounting treatment for the changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not a derivative instrument qualifies for hedge accounting and, if so, whether the derivative is a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge. Changes in the estimated fair value of effective cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For fair value hedges, to the extent the hedge is effective there is no effect on the statement of operations, because changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative instrument offset changes in the fair value of the hedged item. For derivative instruments that do not qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges, changes in estimated fair value are recognized in earnings.
 
The Company periodically hedges a portion of its oil and gas production through swap and collar agreements. The purpose of the hedges is to provide a measure of stability to the Company’s cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices and to manage the exposure to commodity price risk. In addition, the warrants issued with the Company’s retired senior secured notes are separately accounted for as freestanding derivatives at estimated fair value.
 
The estimated fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments require substantial judgment. The determination of fair value includes significant estimates by management including the term of the instruments, volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock and interest rates, among other items. The fluctuations in estimated fair value may be significant from period to period, which, in turn, may have a significant impact on the Company’s reported financial condition and results of operations.

Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company has obligations to remove tangible equipment and restore locations, primarily associated with plugging and abandoning wells. Estimating future restoration and removal costs, or asset retirement obligations (“ARO”), is difficult and requires management to make estimates and judgments, because most of the removal obligations are several years in the future. Inherent in the calculation of the present value of the Company’s ARO under existing accounting literature are numerous assumptions and judgments, including ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the present value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. In addition, increases in the discounted ARO liability resulting from the passage of time will be reflected as accretion expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
Valuation of Tax Asset
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax benefits of tax loss carryforwards and other deferred taxes recognized is limited to the amount of the benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the value of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are deductible, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, management was not able to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. As such, at December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset.
 
Critical Policies
 
The accounting for Infinity’s business is subject to special accounting rules that are unique to the oil and gas industry. There are two allowable methods of accounting for oil and gas business activities: the full-cost method and the successful efforts method. The differences between the two methods can lead to significant variances in the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements. Infinity has elected to follow the full-cost method, which is described below.
 
Oil and Gas Properties, Depreciation and Full Cost Ceiling Test
 
Under the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, the cost of drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, and salaries, benefits and other internal salary related costs directly attributable to these activities. The capitalized costs are depleted over the life of the reserves associated with the assets, with the depletion expense recognized in the period that the reserves are produced. This depletion expense is calculated by dividing the period’s production volumes by the estimated volume of reserves associated with the investment and multiplying the calculated percentage by the capitalized investment.
 
The costs of wells in progress and unevaluated properties, including any related capitalized interest, are not amortized. On a quarterly basis, such costs are evaluated for inclusion in the costs to be amortized resulting from the determination of proved reserves, impairments, or reductions in value. To the extent that the evaluation indicates these properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. Abandonments of unproved properties are accounted for as an adjustment to capitalized costs related to proved oil and gas properties, with no losses recognized.


40


Table of Contents

Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities are required to perform a ceiling test each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The test determines a limit, or ceiling, on the net book value of oil and gas properties. That limit is basically the after tax present value of the future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, as adjusted for the effect of cash flow hedges. This ceiling is compared to the net book value of the oil and gas properties reduced by any related net deferred income tax liability. If the net book value reduced by the related deferred income taxes exceeds the ceiling, an impairment, or non-cash write-down, is required. A ceiling test impairment could cause the Company to record a significant non-cash loss for a particular period; however, the future depletion, depreciation and amortization rate would be reduced. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded ceiling write-downs of $27.4 million, $37.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively.
 
Under the alternative “successful efforts method” of accounting, surrendered, abandoned, and impaired leases, delay lease rentals, dry holes, and overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs are depleted on a property by property basis under the successful efforts method. Impairments are assessed on a property by property basis and are charged to expense when assessed. In general, the application of the full cost method of accounting results in higher capitalized costs and higher depletion rates compared to the successful efforts method.
 
The Company follows the full cost method because management believes it appropriately reflects the cost of the Company’s exploration programs as part of an overall investment in discovering and developing proved reserves.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This pronouncement applies to other standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (the Fair Value Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If we elect the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, we will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective January 1, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
 
In April 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39, (“FIN 39-1”) to amend FIN 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (“FIN 39”). The terms “conditional contracts” and “exchange contracts” used in FIN 39 have been replaced with the more general term “derivative contracts.” In addition, FIN 39-1 permits the offsetting of recognized fair values for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair values of derivatives under certain circumstances, such as under master netting arrangements. Additional disclosure is also required regarding a company’s accounting policy with respect to offsetting fair value amounts. The guidance in FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early application allowed. The effects of initial adoption should be recognized as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application for all periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
 
In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48-1”) which amends FIN 48 and provides guidance concerning how an entity should determine whether a tax position is “effectively,” rather than, as previously required, “ultimately,” settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, FIN 48-1 provides guidance on determining whether a tax position has been effectively settled. The guidance in FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial January 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48. Companies that have not applied this guidance must retroactively apply the provisions of this FSP to the date of the initial adoption of FIN 48. We have adopted FIN 48-1 and no retroactive adjustments were necessary.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141, Business Combinations, while providing additional definitions, such as the definition of the acquirer in a purchase and improvements in the application of how the acquisition method is applied. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, and classified as a component of equity. These Statements become simultaneously effective January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.
 
ITEM 7A.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Infinity’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its oil and gas production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing price for crude oil and spot prices applicable to Infinity’s crude oil and natural gas production. Historically, prices received for gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected to continue. Gas price realizations ranged from a low of $1.19 to a high of $8.54 per Mcf during the year ended December 31, 2007. Oil price realizations ranged from a low of $40.33 per barrel to a high of $89.83 per barrel during that period.
 
Infinity periodically enters into fixed-price physical contracts and commodity derivative contracts on a portion of its projected natural gas and crude oil production in accordance with its Energy Risk Management Policy. These activities are intended to support cash flow at certain levels by reducing the exposure to oil and gas price

fluctuations. Through March 2006, the Company sold 2,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day under one fixed price physical contract. Sales under this fixed price contract were accounted for as normal sales agreements under the exemption in SFAS No. 133. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the effect of Infinity’s sale of a portion of its gas production under a fixed price contract, compared to spot sales, was a decrease in revenue of approximately $0.3 million, and $1.4 million, respectively.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
  •  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of its assets;
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that its receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and
 
  •  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management’s projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, and in making this assessment used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Company’s management determined that as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant working capital deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2006.

INFINITY ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
Note 1 — Organization
 
Nature of Operations
 
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Infinity” or the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas and crude oil in the United States and the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. and Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
 
On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with 80% of the working interest owned by the Company in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming to Forest Oil Corporation, a New York corporation (“Forest”). The transaction resulted in the sale of approximately 62% of the Company’s proved reserve quantities and 73% of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow. In addition, concurrent with the sale, on December 27, 2007, Infinity-Texas entered into a Farmout and Acquisition Agreement (“Farmout Agreement”) for certain oil and gas leaseholds owned by Infinity-Texas in Erath County, Texas. The Farmout Agreement provides that Forest will operate and earn a 75% interest in the spacing unit for each well in a 10-well drilling program. If Forest completes the drilling program, Forest will earn a 50% interest in the approximate 25,000 remaining undeveloped net acres and existing Erath County infrastructure owned by Infinity-Texas. The drilling obligation has been delayed to begin no later than May 1, 2008. Infinity-Texas retains 100% of its interest in all currently completed wells and 100 acres surrounding each currently completed well.
 
On December 15, 2006, the Company completed the sale of its oilfield services subsidiaries, Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. and CIS-Oklahoma, Inc. (collectively “Consolidated”) to Q Consolidated Oil Well Services, LLC for approximately $52,000,000 in cash. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain of $33,351,000 net of taxes of $500,000 in 2006. Included in income from discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and are revenues of $34,625,000 and $21,583,000, respectively. As a result, Consolidated’s results of operations have been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.
 
Note 2 — Liquidity, Going Concern
 
As reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company has had a history of losses. In addition, the Company has a significant working capital deficit and is currently experiencing substantial liquidity problems. As also discussed in Note 5, the Company is currently operating under the Second Forbearance Agreement with Amegy under the Revolving Credit Facility.
 
The Company entered into the Second Forbearance Agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the Company’s failure to meet substantially all financial and certain other covenants during certain periods of 2007. Under this agreement, Amegy has agreed to forebear from exercising any remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, the revolving note and the related loan documents and to temporarily waive the covered events of default through May 31, 2008. The Company is required to repay the $7,097,000 borrowing base deficiency (of the $10,903,000 outstanding at March 27, 2008) by May 31, 2008 through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Agreement, Amegy may at any time require the Company to proceed with the marketing of the assets of Infinity-Texas. Infinity may be unable to sell assets sufficient to repay the deficiency or to obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the amount due. In

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
that event, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue to operate. In addition, if the Company breaches additional provisions of the Loan Agreement or if, by May 31, 2008, it is unable to renegotiate certain continuing loan covenants or is unable to repay the borrowing base deficiency as required, Amegy will be entitled to declare an event of default, at which point the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing to Amegy would become immediately due and payable. There can be no assurance that waivers will be able to be obtained in this situation at all or on satisfactory terms. Amegy or other creditors may take action to enforce their rights with respect to outstanding obligations, and Infinity may be forced to liquidate. Because substantially all of the Company’s assets are collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, if Amegy declares an event of default, it would be entitled to foreclose on and take possession of the Company’s assets.
 
As a result, the Company has classified all $22,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the related $2,144,000 commodity derivative liability (included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) at December 31, 2007 as current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concurrent with the sale of assets on January 7, 2008, the Company repaid $11,097,000 of principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, settled the then commodity derivative liability of $2,258,000, settled general and administrative liabilities of approximately $660,000 and established an escrow account in the amount of $3,700,000 to potentially settle exploration and operating liabilities of Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. in the amount of $4,838,000. The Company plans to negotiate with and seek concessions from its trade creditors in order to satisfy these obligations. The Company may also seek an extension to repay the borrowing base deficiency should it be unable to sell assets or obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the deficiency by May 31, 2008.
 
Due to the uncertainties related to these matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Management Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates with regard to the consolidated financial statements include the estimated carrying value of unproved properties, the estimate of proved oil and gas reserve volumes and the related present value of estimated future net cash flows and the ceiling test applied to capitalized oil and gas properties, the estimated cost and timing related to asset retirement obligations, the estimated fair value of derivative liabilities and the realizability of deferred tax assets.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. At times, the Company maintains deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institutions and believes the Company’s risk is negligible. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Derivative Instruments
 
The Company accounts for derivative instruments or hedging activities under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to record derivative instruments at their estimated fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the estimated fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. Changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment are recognized in earnings.
 
The Company periodically hedges a portion of its oil and gas production through swap and collar agreements. The purpose of the hedges is to provide a measure of stability to the Company’s cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices and to manage the exposure to commodity price risk.
 
As a result of certain terms, conditions and features included in certain warrants issued by the Company, those warrants are required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities at estimated fair value. See Note 6.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of properties (including costs of surrendered and abandoned leaseholds, delay lease rentals, dry holes and seismic costs) and the fair value of estimated future costs of site restoration, dismantlement, and abandonment activities are capitalized. Overhead related to exploration and development activities is also capitalized. The Company capitalized $790,000, $846,000 and $884,000 of internal costs during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
 
Depletion of proved oil and gas properties is computed on the units-of-production method, with oil and gas being converted to a common unit of measure based on relative energy content, whereby capitalized costs, as adjusted for estimated future development costs and estimated asset retirement costs, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserve quantities. The costs of wells in progress and unevaluated properties, including directly related seismic costs and any related capitalized interest and capitalized internal costs, are not amortized. On a quarterly basis, such costs are evaluated for inclusion in the costs to be amortized resulting from the determination of proved reserves, impairments, or reductions in value. To the extent that the evaluation indicates these properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized. Abandonments of unproved properties are accounted for as an adjustment to capitalized costs related to proved oil and gas properties, with no losses recognized.
 
Proceeds from the sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to oil and gas production expense in the period incurred.
 
Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, the Company must perform a “ceiling test” each quarter. The ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes for each cost center may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves using current costs and prices, including the effects of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges but excluding the future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, and a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and gas properties. If

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the excess must be charged to expense and may not be reversed in future periods.
 
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company recognized aggregate ceiling write-downs of $15,750,000 as a result of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties subject to amortization exceeding the full cost ceiling limitation. At December 31, 2007, the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $7,000,000, based upon a natural gas price of approximately $7.21 per Mcf and an oil price of approximately $81.89 per barrel in effect at that date. However, based on the value received for proved properties sold in January 2008, the carrying value of those oil and gas properties exceeded their fair value by an additional $4,600,000. Therefore, the Company recorded an aggregate ceiling write-down of $11,600,000 at December 31, 2007, for a total of $27,350,000 during 2007. In 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded ceiling write-downs totaling $37,800,000 and $13,450,000, respectively.
 
Prepaid Severance Taxes
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had approximately $767,000 and $609,000 respectively, recorded as prepaid severance taxes and other assets related to estimated severance tax refunds from the State of Texas. The estimated refunds result from the June 2006 designation of the Barnett Shale in Erath County, Texas as a tight gas formation eligible for a reduced production tax rate. As a result of this designation, the Company reflects the payments of severance taxes for the eligible wells as a prepayment rather than as production tax expense.
 
Other Assets, Net
 
At December 31, 2007 and 2006, other assets include approximately $852,000 of cash on deposit at a bank to secure two letters of credit. The letters of credit were issued to the Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia in connection with the Company’s May 2006 execution of exploration and production contracts for two oil and gas concessions in the Caribbean Sea of Nicaragua and the Company’s requirement under the contracts to incur capital costs of a similar amount during the first year of the contracts.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company records estimated future asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS No. 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which the obligation is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement obligation is required to be accreted each period to present value. The Company’s asset retirement obligations consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs are depleted as a component of the full cost pool using the units of production method. The following table summarizes the activity for the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

The Company capitalizes interest costs to oil and gas properties on expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current depletion. Interest is capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. Interest costs capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were $1,141,000, $2,339,000 and $1,451,000, respectively.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of deferred loan costs, which are amortized over the terms of the related debt instruments using the effective interest method. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded amortization of deferred loan costs and early extinguishment of debt related to deferred loan costs of $924,000, $2,634,000 and $1,693,000, respectively. The Company capitalizes amortization of loan costs to oil and gas properties on expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current depletion. Amortization of loan costs is capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. Total loan cost amortization capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $408,000, $203,000 and $261,000, respectively. See Note 5.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company accounts for natural gas sales using the sales method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on actual volumes sold by the Company, which may be more or less than the Company’s share of pro-rata production from certain wells. Natural gas imbalances at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were immaterial. The Company recognizes sales of oil when title to the product is transferred.
 
Transportation Costs
 
The Company accounts for transportation costs under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, whereby amounts paid for transportation are classified as operating expenses.
 
Per Share Information
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt.
 
Stock Options
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments based on the estimated fair value of the awards. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements that are not included in costs applicable to sales (“excess tax benefits”) to be presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized is based on the grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted or modified subsequent to

December 31, 2005, estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). All share-based awards outstanding as of the January 1, 2006 adoption date were fully vested. The results for prior periods have not been restated.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax benefits of tax loss carryforwards and other deferred taxes are recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such assets to be more likely than not. When the future utilization of some portion of the deferred tax asset is determined not to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company has elected to report comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss) and all changes to stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in additional paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This pronouncement applies to other standards that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurement. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for us on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value (the Fair Value Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If the Company elects the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, the Company will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective January 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
 
In April 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39, (“FIN 39-1”) to amend FIN 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (“FIN 39”). The terms “conditional contracts” and “exchange contracts” used in FIN 39 have been replaced with the more general term “derivative contracts.” In addition, FIN 39-1 permits the offsetting of recognized fair values for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair values of derivatives under certain circumstances, such as under master netting arrangements. Additional disclosure is also required regarding a company’s accounting policy with respect to offsetting fair value amounts. The guidance in FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early application allowed. The effects of initial adoption should be recognized as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application for all periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FSP No. FIN 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48-1”) which amends FIN 48 and provides guidance concerning how an entity should determine whether a tax position is “effectively,” rather than, as previously required, “ultimately,” settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, FIN 48-1 provides guidance on determining whether a tax position has been effectively settled. The guidance in FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial January 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48. Companies that have not applied this guidance must retroactively apply the provisions of this FSP to the date of the initial adoption of FIN 48. The Company has adopted FIN 48-1 and no retroactive adjustments were necessary.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”), and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141, Business Combinations, while providing additional definitions, such as the definition of the acquirer in a purchase and improvements in the application of how the acquisition method is applied. SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests, and classified as a component of equity. These Statements become simultaneously effective January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have on the Company’s operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Revolving Credit Facility
 
On January 10, 2007, the Company entered into a reserve-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with Amegy Bank N.A. (“Amegy”). Under the related loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between Infinity, Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. and Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (each wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and together, the “Guarantors”) and Amegy, Infinity could borrow, repay and re-borrow on a revolving basis up to the aggregate sums permitted under the borrowing base, $22,000,000 (reduced to $10,500,000 effective as of August 10, 2007 and subsequently reduced to $3,806,000 effective as of March 26, 2008). The Revolving Credit Facility had an initial term of two years. Amounts borrowed bear interest at prime plus 0.50% (7.75% at December 31, 2007). Interest payments are due on a monthly basis, and principal payments may be required to meet a borrowing base deficiency or monthly borrowing commitment reductions. The borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility and the applicable interest rate are subject to adjustment at least once every nine months. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of Infinity and its subsidiaries and are guaranteed by Infinity’s subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain standard continuing covenants and agreements and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and thresholds.
 
On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement, effective as of August 10, 2007, under the Loan Agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, and Amegy. The Forbearance Agreement related to the breach by the Company and Guarantors of: (i) the “Interest Coverage Ratio” set forth in Section 8(a) of the Loan Agreement for the period ended June 30, 2007; (ii) the “Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio” set forth in Section 8(d) of the Loan Agreement and (iii) the requirement to deliver certain lien releases under Section 9 of the Loan Agreement (the “Existing Defaults”).
 
Effective as of March 26, 2008, the Company entered into the Second Forbearance Agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility as a result of the Company’s failure to meet substantially all financial and certain other covenants during certain periods of 2007. Under this agreement, Amegy has agreed to forebear from exercising any remedies under the Revolving Credit Facility, the revolving note and the related loan documents and to temporarily waive the covered events of default through May 31, 2008. The Company is required to repay the $7,097,000 borrowing base deficiency (of the $10,903,000 outstanding at March 27, 2008) by May 31, 2008 through the sale of assets, refinancing of the loan or some other means of raising capital. Under the terms of the Second Forbearance Agreement, Amegy may at any time require the Company to proceed with the marketing of the assets of Infinity-Texas. Infinity may be unable to sell assets sufficient to repay the deficiency or to obtain alternative sources of funding to repay the amount due. In that event, the Company would have insufficient funds to continue to operate. In addition, if the Company breaches additional provisions of the Loan Agreement or if, by May 31, 2008, it is unable to renegotiate certain continuing loan covenants or is unable to repay the borrowing base deficiency as required, Amegy will be entitled to declare an event of default, at which point the entire unpaid principal balance of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts then owing to Amegy would become immediately due and payable. Infinity accrued forbearance fees due in connection with the Forbearance Agreements of $554,000 and additional fees consisting of $224,000 for December 2007 and agreed to pay, for each month from January 2008 to May 2008, 1% of the average daily outstanding principal balance of the loan. Amegy has agreed not to charge a default interest rate (prime plus 6.5%) during the forbearance period, but is entitled to impose such rate upon termination of the forbearance period. There can be no assurance that waivers will be able to be obtained in this situation at all or on satisfactory terms. Amegy or other creditors may take action to enforce their rights with respect to outstanding obligations, and Infinity may be forced to liquidate. Because substantially all of the Company’s assets are collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, if Amegy declares an event of default, it would be entitled to foreclose on and take possession of the Company’s assets.

Senior Secured Notes Facility
 
The Company had a senior secured notes facility (the “Senior Secured Notes Facility”) with a group of lenders (collectively, the “Buyers”), under which the Company sold, and the Buyers purchased, on four separate occasions, an aggregate of $53 million principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”), and five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,829,726 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “Warrants”). All such warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2007.
 
The outstanding principal amount of Notes and accrued interest of approximately $49,200,000 was repaid on December 15, 2006 with proceeds from the sale of the Company’s oilfield services business and the Senior Secured Notes Facility was terminated. In connection with the Senior Secured Notes Facility, the Company recognized $26,951,000 of early extinguishment of debt expense. In connection with Note conversions during 2006, the Company reclassified unamortized discount (see discussion below under Debt Discount) of $1,030,000 related to the converted Notes against additional paid-in-capital, reclassified Conversion Option derivative liability of $479,000 (see Note 5) to additional paid-in-capital and wrote off deferred financing costs of $210,000 to early extinguishment of debt.
 
Debt Discount
 
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Note Facility discussed above, the Company recorded in previous years aggregate debt discount of $10,685,000, which was being amortized over the maturities of the Notes utilizing the effective interest method. The Company capitalizes amortization of debt discount to oil and gas properties on expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current depletion. Amortization of debt discount was capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. Total debt discount amortized during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $995,000 (net of $750,000 capitalized to oil and gas properties) and $647,000 (net of $764,000 capitalized to oil and gas properties).

Through the third quarter 2006, all of the Company’s collar arrangements qualified as cash flow hedges. In connection with a change in the terms under which the Company sells a portion of its crude oil production and a loss of correlation between the index on which the Company sells its natural gas in Texas and the index on which its natural gas collars are settled, in the fourth quarter 2006 the Company determined it was no longer able to conclude that its oil or natural gas collars were effective hedges. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a derivative (liability) asset of approximately $(2,144,000) and $363,000, respectively, which are included in accrued liabilities and prepaid expenses and other assets, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized ineffectiveness of approximately ($2,389,000), $244,000 and ($28,000), respectively, under its collar and swap arrangements, which is reflected in change in derivative fair value and other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2007 the Company received approximately $483,000, net under its collar and swap arrangements, which is included in change in derivative values in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2006, the Company received approximately $68,000, net under its collar arrangements, which is included in oil and gas revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. No amounts were received or paid by the Company during 2005 under its collar arrangements. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company reclassified from other comprehensive income to natural gas revenue, gains of approximately $118,000 and $29,000, respectively, related to contracts that had been designated as cash flow hedges.
 
In connection with the sale of assets in January 2008, all swap and collar derivative contracts were closed. The Company paid $2,258,000 to settle the contracts subsequent to December 31, 2007.
 
Other Derivatives
 
As more fully discussed in Note 5 above, during 2005 and 2006, the Company issued Notes and Warrants. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 the Company bifurcated the Conversion Option associated with the Notes and accounted for it and the Warrants as derivatives. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized changes in derivative fair value of approximately $0 and $34,000, respectively, related to the decrease in the estimated fair value of the Conversion Option. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized changes in derivative fair value of approximately $5,701,000, $12,141,000 and $1,885,000, respectively, related to the decrease in the estimated fair value of the Warrants. The terms of the Notes and Warrants contained other embedded derivatives that management determined to have de minimus value.
 
As a result of the issuance of the initial Notes in January 2005, under the provisions of EITF 00-19, the Company was no longer able to conclude that it had sufficient authorized and unissued shares available to settle its previously issued non-employee options and warrants (the “Non-employee Options and Warrants”) (see Note 7) after considering the commitment to potentially issue common stock under terms of the Notes in an event of default. As such, effective with the issuance of the initial Notes on January 13, 2005, the Company reclassified the estimated fair value of the Non-employee Options and Warrants out of stockholders’ equity and recognized them as a derivative liability of $6,090,000. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Non-employee Options and Warrants were recorded as change in derivative fair value in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Non-employee Options and Warrants settled in common stock were remeasured prior to settlement and then reclassified back to additional paid-in capital. During 2005, in connection with the exercise of 538,850 Non-employee Options and Warrants, the Company reclassified $2,174,000 back to additional paid-in capital.

During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized changes in derivative fair value of approximately $2,586,000 and $989,000, respectively, related to the decrease in the estimated fair value of these instruments. In connection with the repayment of the Notes on December 15, 2006, the Company was able to conclude that the Non-employee Options and Warrants were no longer required to be accounted for as derivatives. As such, the Company reclassified the Non-employee Options and Warrants derivative liability of $341,000 back to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equity
 
Non-Employee Warrants and Options
 
In connection with the Senior Secured Note Facility, during 2006 and 2005 the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,829,726 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share. The Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that require the Company to adjust the exercise price and the number of Warrants outstanding if the Company issues stock at less than the exercise price. Through December 31, 2007, none of these warrants have been exercised.
 
In connection with the issuance of bridge notes in 2003, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,163,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at $8.75 per share, with expiration dates ranging from January 23, 2008 through June 27, 2008. The warrant agreement for 250,000 of the warrants issued contain anti-dilution provisions that require the Company to adjust the exercise price and the number of warrants outstanding if the Company sells stock at less than the exercise price. As a result of a previous private institutional placement of equity in 2004, and the conversion of Notes discussed in Note 5, the exercise price of these warrants has been adjusted to $7.13 per share and the number of shares to be acquired under the warrants was increased by 56,954.

Options Under Employee Option Plans
 
In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. Options granted under the 2006 Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive plans with terms similar to the 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2007, 617,881 shares were available for future grants under all plans.
 
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For purposes of estimating the expected term of options granted, the Company aggregates option recipients into groups that have similar option exercise behavioral traits. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are calculated based on the methodology used in the valuation of certain of the Company’s warrants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table summarizes the inputs used in the calculation of fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

tax asset as they increased the Company’s net operating losses and an increase in additional paid in capital. The recognition of the valuation allowance offset the impact of this benefit.
 
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”) as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We also adopted FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP FIN 48-1”) as of January 1, 2007. FSP FIN 48-1 provides that a company’s tax position will be considered settled if the taxing authority has completed its examination, the company does not plan to appeal, and it is remote that the taxing authority would reexamine the tax position in the future. The adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies
 
Litigation
 
The Company is subject to numerous claims and legal actions in which vendors are claiming breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay amounts due. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for these claims in the accompanying balance sheets, and that any additional liability with respect to these claims and legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
The validity of the contracts relating to our concessions offshore Nicaragua, and potentially the concessions themselves, has been challenged before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic of Nicaragua. Infinity is currently seeking ratifications of the contracts and concessions. We are unable to predict the results of our efforts to obtain ratifications of the contracts and concessions or the timing of any such resolution. If we are unsuccessful, our contracts or the concessions themselves may be deemed invalid.
 
Delivery Commitments
 
Effective September 2001, Infinity-Wyoming entered into a gas gathering and transportation contract with a third-party gatherer and processor in which the third-party gatherer and processor built gas gathering laterals and installed compression facilities to deliver gas produced from the Pipeline Field to the Overland Trail Transmission pipeline. During 2002, the contract was amended to include additional compression and gathering facilities to be installed by the third-party gatherer and processor and delivery points for the additional production being generated by Infinity-Wyoming. Infinity-Wyoming pays a gathering fee of approximately $0.40 per Mcf until 7,500,000 Mcf have been produced at which time the fee is to be reduced to $0.25 per Mcf. Additionally; the Company had annual volume commitments for five years starting September 1, 2001. If the Company exceeded the minimum in any year, the excess reduced the following year’s commitment. If the Company did not meet the minimum in any year, the shortfall was added to the following years. Infinity-Wyoming delivered approximately 4,400,000 Mcf under this contract through September 30, 2006. During 2007, Infinity-Wyoming paid $0.6 million to settle this disputed volume commitment deficiency. The Pipeline sales volumes are also subject to a $0.15 per MMBtu charge for access onto the Overland Trail Transmission line.
 
In June 2005, the Company entered into a long-term gas gathering contract for natural gas production from the Company’s properties in Erath County, Texas, under which the Company pays a gathering fee of $0.35 per Mcf gathered. The contract contains minimum delivery volume commitments through June 30, 2015 associated with firm transportation rights. As of December 31, 2007, and 2006, the Company had accrued approximately $136,000 and $71,000, respectively, as delivery commitment shortfalls under the contract.

Regulations
 
The Company’s oil and gas operations are subject to various Federal, state and local laws and regulations. The Company could incur significant expense to comply with new or existing laws and non-compliance could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
 
Environmental
 
The Company uses injection wells to dispose of water into underground rock formations. If future wells produce water of lesser quality than allowed under state laws or if water is produced at rates greater than can be injected, the Company could incur additional costs to dispose of its water.
 
Note 10 — Retirement Plan
 
The Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company began matching, dollar for dollar, employee contributions up to 4% of gross pay. The Company recognized expense of $37,000, $51,000, $45,000 related to such contributions during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Note 11 — Significant Customers
 
During 2007, sales to three unrelated customers represented 49%, 28% and 14% of total revenue. During 2006, sales to three unrelated customers represented 40%, 28% and 17% of total revenue. During 2005, sales to four unrelated customers represented 32%, 25%, 19% and 14% of total revenue.
 
Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities represent the estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts.
 
The carrying value of the Company’s debt under its Revolving Credit Facility represents its estimated fair value due to its short-term nature, its adjustable rate of interest and associated fees and expenses.
 
The estimated fair value of the Company’s current derivative liabilities, all of which relate to commodity swaps and collars, are estimated using year-end futures prices, volumes, delivery dates, and a present value factor commensurate with the derivative contract term as the Company’s swap and collar contracts are not actively traded.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s non-current derivative liabilities, all of which relate to the Warrants, is estimated using various models and assumptions related to the term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock and interest rates, among other items.
 
Note 13 — Earnings Per Share
 
For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, all of the Company’s common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive. Therefore, the impact of 8,087,680, 8,490,980 and 5,501,659 common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
 
Note 14 — Supplemental Oil and Gas Information
 
Estimated Proved Oil and Gas Reserves (Unaudited)
 
Proved oil and gas reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. There are uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves, projecting future production rates, and timing of development expenditures. Accordingly, reserve estimates often differ from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
 
All of the Company’s proved reserves are located in the United States. The following information about the Company’s proved and proved developed oil and gas reserves was developed from reserve reports prepared by independent reserve engineers:

Unevaluated costs include $850,000 related to the Company’s Labarge prospect in southwest Wyoming. Substantially all of the acreage in the prospect is subject to a Bureau of Land Management environmental impact statement (“EIS”). The EIS must be completed before the field can be developed. Unevaluated costs include approximately $2,274,000 related to the Company’s approximate 1,400,000 acre concessions offshore Nicaragua. The Company anticipates that the majority of the unproved costs in the table above will be classified as proved costs within the next five years.
 
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and
Gas Reserves (Unaudited)
 
Future oil and gas sales and production and development costs have been estimated using prices and costs in effect at the end of the years indicated, except in those instances where the sale of oil and natural gas is covered by contracts, as required by SFAS No. 69, Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities. SFAS No. 69 requires that net cash flow amounts be discounted at 10%. Future production and development costs are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses are computed by applying the appropriate period-end statutory tax rates to the future pretax net cash flow relating to the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the related properties. The future income tax expenses do not give effect to tax credits, allowances, or the impact of general and administrative costs of ongoing operations relating to the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves.
 
Changes in the demand for oil and natural gas, inflation, and other factors make such estimates inherently imprecise and subject to substantial revision. The table below should not be construed to be an estimate of the current market value of the Company’s proved reserves.

  Re:   Second Forbearance Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter (this “Agreement”) sets forth the second forbearance agreement among INFINITY ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. (“Borrower”), a Delaware corporation; INFINITY OIL AND GAS OF TEXAS, INC., a Delaware corporation, and INFINITY OIL & GAS OF WYOMING, INC., a Wyoming corporation (collectively “Guarantors”); and AMEGY BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”). Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender previously entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “First Forbearance Agreement”) dated August 31, 2007. Capitalized terms below have the meanings assigned in the Loan Agreement dated January 9, 2007, among Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender, as amended (the “Loan Agreement”).
     1. Forest Transactions. Borrower and Guarantors have consummated the following transactions as contemplated by the First Forbearance Agreement:
          (a) The sale of certain oil and gas properties of Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (“IOGWy”), excluding, however, an undivided 20% interest retained in all undeveloped leasehold acreage, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement dated December 26, 2007, but effective October 1, 2007, between IOGWy, as seller, and FOREST OIL CORPORATION (“Forest”), a New York corporation, as buyer; and
          (b) The farmout of certain undeveloped leasehold acreage of Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. (“IOGTx”), pursuant to a Farmout and Acquisition Agreement (the “Farmout Agreement”) dated December 26, 2007, between IOGTx, as farmor, and Forest, as farmee.

 


 

     2. Borrowing Base. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, Lender has reduced the Borrowing Base to $3,806,000.00, until reset by Lender in connection with the next redetermination of the Borrowing Base. Lender reserves the right to make the next redetermination of the Borrowing Base at any time.
     3. Borrowing Base Deficiency. The new Borrowing Base results in a Borrowing Base deficiency in the amount of $7,097,468.29 (the “Deficiency”). On or before the end of the Forbearance Period (as defined below), Borrower and Guarantors agree to cure the Deficiency by selling assets, refinancing of the Revolving Loan, or raising capital on terms acceptable to Lender.
     4. Events of Default. Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge that the following Events of Default have occurred and remain outstanding (the “Existing Defaults”):
          (a) The Existing Defaults set forth in the First Forbearance Agreement;
          (b) Borrower and Guarantors breached the financial covenants set forth in Subsection (a) — (h) of Section 8 of the Loan Agreement for the periods ended September 30 and December 31, 2007; and
          (c) Borrower and Guarantors breached the covenants set forth in Subsections (g), (h), (i), and (m) of Section 7 of the Loan Agreement for the periods ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007.
     5. Forbearance. Lender, Borrower, and Guarantors agree to a forbearance period commencing as of December 1, 2007, and continuing through May 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by Lender due to a Default, as defined below (the “Forbearance Period”). During the Forbearance Period, but subject to a Default, Lender will forebear from exercising any remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Note, the Security Documents, the Guaranties, and the other Loan Documents. Borrower and Guarantors agree that all statutes of limitation with respect to enforcement of the Revolving Note, the Guaranties, and the Security Documents will be tolled during the Forbearance Period and for ninety (90) days thereafter.
     6. Temporary Waiver. Borrower and Guarantors have requested that Lender temporarily waive the Existing Defaults and additional defaults under the provisions covered by the Existing Defaults, excluding, however, the following (the “Excluded Defaults”): (i) any additional defaults under the additional debt prohibitions in Subsection (h) of Section 7 of the Loan Agreement, and (ii) any additional defaults under the use of Free Operating Cash Flow prohibitions in Subsection (h) of Section 8 of the Loan Agreement. Lender hereby waives the

 


 

Existing Defaults through the Forbearance Period only. This is a temporary and limited waiver, and Lender reserves the right to require strict compliance with all covenants under the Loan Agreement, including the covenants violated as set forth above, in the future. This waiver does not modify, supplement, or alter any of the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Further, this waiver shall not be construed as a commitment by Lender to waive any future violation of the same or any other term or condition of the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. Neither the negotiation or execution of this Agreement will be an election of any right or remedy available to Lender; and, except as specifically limited or postponed herein, Lender reserves all rights and remedies.
     7. Interest. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that during the Forbearance Period (including the Forbearance Period under the First Forbearance Agreement), the entire unpaid principal balance owed on the Revolving Note shall accrue interest at the sum of the Stated Rate, plus the Applicable Margin as set forth in the Revolving Note; provided, however, that Lender reserves the right to impose the default rate of Stated Rate, plus six percent (6.0%) (the “Default Rate”), as set forth in the Revolving Note, at any time after the termination of the Forbearance Period, in the event that an Event of Default remains uncured and outstanding. Further, in lieu of the additional interest accrued and unpaid under the First Forbearance Agreement, calculated as the difference between the Default Rate and the sum of the Stated Rate, plus the Applicable Margin, Borrower shall pay the Forbearance/Waiver Fee set forth below.
     8. Additional Collateral. In consideration of the forbearance under this Agreement, Borrower agrees to sign and deliver a Commercial Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in Proper Form, granting a security interest in any future sale proceeds from the sale of all or any part of the rights Borrower may have in the Tyra and Perlas Blocks, offshore Nicaragua, as awarded to Borrower by the Republic of Nicaragua in 2003, as hereafter amended and modified (the “Nicaragua Concessions”), and affected by Sentencia No. 92, Expediente No 591-06, rendered by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic of Nicaragua, Constitutional Hall, dated May 2, 2006, in any future subsidiaries in which the rights with respect to the Nicaragua Concessions are assigned, and in any proceeds or rights related to Borrower’s insurance policies issued by the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (“OPIC”) related to the Nicaragua Concessions (the “OPIC Policies”). Borrower and Guarantors agree to mortgage all oil and gas properties and leasehold interests (excluding the Nicaragua Concessions) owned by Borrower or Guarantors and not previously mortgaged to Lender as additional security for the Notes. Further, Borrower and Guarantors agree to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement a waiver of the prohibition against liens from the lessors on the Murray lease, Erath County, Texas, and thereafter to mortgage this lease. Lender agrees to release without delay the Security Agreement in the event that the OPIC notifies Borrower of payment of compensation for a claim made by Borrower under the OPIC Policies; provided, however that if released the Security Agreement under such circumstances, Borrower agrees that the compensation for a claim made by Borrower under the OPIC Policies shall still be paid to Lender for application to the Revolving Loan.

 


 

     9. Lockbox. Section 8 of the First Forbearance Agreement regarding payment of all production proceeds to the Lockbox Account shall remain in effect until all amounts lawfully due and owing on the Revolving Note and the Hedge Liabilities are paid in full, except Subsection (f) of Section 8 of the First Forbearance Agreement is modified to read as follows:
          “(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (f) of Section 8 of the Loan Agreement, beginning April 1, 2008, Borrower and Guarantors shall not permit cash general and administrative expenses on a consolidated basis to exceed $75,000.00 per month during term of this Agreement; provided, however, that general and administrative expenses in excess of this monthly limit may be accrued and paid only after the Revolving Loan and Hedge Liabilities have been paid in full.”
     10. Sale of Oil and Gas Properties. In order to cure the Deficiency, Borrower and Guarantors agree to take the following actions:
          (a) Upon the written directive of Lender, to be exercised in Lender’s sole discretion, but subject to shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, Borrower and Guarantors shall proceed with (i) the sale and marketing of the interest retained in the oil and gas properties of IOGWy (the “Rockies Properties”); and (ii) the sale and marketing of interests in the Texas oil and gas properties of IOGTx (the “Texas Properties”). If elected by Lender, Borrower and Guarantors shall devote their substantial efforts, time, talents, and expertise to the sale and marketing of the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties, will take all lawful actions as will result in the prompt payment of the Deficiency, and will thereafter accept any commercially reasonable offer to buy the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties, or any of them; provided no oil and gas property or leasehold interest which is mortgaged to Lender shall be sold except on terms and price acceptable to Lender and with the prior written approval of Lender.
          (b) Upon Lender’s election to proceed with the sale of the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties, or any of them, Borrower and Guarantors shall thereafter use their best efforts to (i) promptly open a data room on the properties to be sold, (ii) to promptly obtain firm proposals for the sale of the properties, (iii) to execute a definitive agreement or agreements, subject to stockholder approval if required, for the sale of properties with proceeds sufficient to repay the Deficiency, and (iv) seek stockholder approval, if required, and consummate the sale of the properties as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the end of the Forbearance Period.
          (c) Borrower and Guarantors shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of the agreement or engagement letter with any oil and gas broker or consultant retained to assist with

 


 

sales under this Section; and thereafter Borrower and Guarantors shall provide a monthly report on the first (1st) day of each month, to be prepared by the oil and gas broker or consultant engaged by Borrower and Guarantors to facilitate the sale of the oil and gas properties and leasehold interests, that includes any and all information pertaining to property bids, the current status of any bids or sale discussions, and all marketing efforts employed to sell the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, at least two business days prior to the date on which Borrower proposes to pay such, Borrower shall deliver to Lender in usual and customary form reasonably acceptable to Lender reasonable detail of all broker fees and other transaction costs related to the sale of the properties proposed to be paid from proceeds in the Lockbox Accounts, and thereafter Borrower may pay such fees and costs as are approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or denied).
          (d) No sale of any of the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties, or any of them, will be permitted to an affiliate of Borrower or Guarantors, unless Lender consents in writing.
          (e) Borrower and Guarantors will direct the net sale proceeds from the sale of any of the Rockies Properties and the Texas Properties to be paid to Lender to be applied to the Revolving Note and collection costs in such order as determined by Lender and shall take all lawful actions to ensure that the proceeds of any such sales are contemporaneously with the closing thereof applied to the Revolving Note and collection costs as herein provided.
     11. Nicaragua Concessions. So long as the Deficiency remains uncured or there is any outstanding Event of Default, Borrower and Guarantors agree that:
          (a) They shall not sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all or any interest in the Nicaragua Concessions, without the prior written consent of Lender, except for (i) the sale of hydrocarbons in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) the sale or transfer of equipment or inventory in the ordinary course of business or that is no longer necessary for the business of Borrower or that is obsolete or replaced by equipment of at least comparable value and use, and (iii) the assignment or transfer required under Section 10.02 of the OPIC Policies after payment of compensation for a claim made by Borrower under the OPIC Policies; and
          (b) They shall not mortgage, assign, hypothecate, pledge, or encumber, and not create, incur, or assume any lien or security interest on or in, the Nicaragua Concessions (or any interest in the Nicaragua Concessions), without the prior written consent of Lender, except for any security interest in favor of Lender and the Permitted Encumbrances.

 


 

     12. Escrow Agreement. In connection with the Farmout Agreement with Forest, IOGTx, Forest, Lender, and Amegy Bank National Association, as escrow agent, have entered into an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated December 27, 2007, providing for the payment of certain liens and claims from funds held in escrow, in accordance with the terms therein.
     13. Lease Operating Expense. By March 31, 2008, Borrower and IOGTx shall provide evidence to Lender that the lease operating expense on the Texas properties of IOGTx does not exceed an average of $2,500 per well per month; and thereafter Borrower and IOGTx shall not permit the lease operating expense on the Texas properties of IOGTx to exceed an average of $2,500 per well per month.

          (b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 4 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower and Guarantors agree that during the Forbearance Period and so long thereafter as any Event of Default remains outstanding and uncured, Borrower and Guarantors shall not enter into any Hedge Transaction without the prior written consent of Lender. If Lender consents to any additional Hedge Transactions, those Hedge Transactions must comply with the terms of Section 4 of the Loan Agreement.
     15. Audit and Inspections. (a) Borrower and Guarantors agree that Lender and its auditors or accountants may, during the term of this Agreement, conduct an audit at Borrower’s and Guarantors’ offices and examine, audit, and make and take away copies or reproductions of Borrower’s and Guarantors’ books and records reasonably required by Lender, relating to (i) the sources and uses of all funds advanced by Lender under the Revolving Note, and (ii) the sources and uses of all production proceeds attributable to Borrower’s and Guarantors’ oil and gas properties. Lender will provide Borrower and Guarantors with one business day written notice of its intention to commence the audit. Borrower and Guarantors agree to cooperate with Lender and comply with all reasonable requests in connection with the audit, and Borrower and Guarantors hereby consent to the review and use by Lender’s auditors of Borrower’s third-party audit of the books and records of Borrower, Guarantors, and any other subsidiaries, including the supporting documentation and work papers of such independent auditors.

The parties agree that no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against a party because that party prepared the provision, it being agreed that all parties have participated in the drafting of this Agreement and have had legal counsel of their choice.

 


 

     25. Governing Law and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTE, AND ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND SHALL BE PERFORMED IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS. BORROWER, GUARANTORS, AND LENDER IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE FOR ANY ACTION OR CLAIM RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTE, OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS.
     26. Savings Clause. Regardless of any provision contained in the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Note, the Security Documents, the other Loan Documents, or this Agreement, it is the express intent of the parties that at no time shall Borrower or Guarantors pay interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), and Lender will never be considered to have contracted for or to be entitled to charge, receive, collect, or apply as interest on the Revolving Note, any amount in excess of the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), and, in the event that Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest will be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Revolving Note, and, if the principal balance of the Revolving Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the maximum lawful rate (or any other interest amount which might in any way be deemed usurious), Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Revolving Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the term.
     27. Fax Provision. This Agreement and the related Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts, and Lender is authorized to attach the signature pages from the counterparts to copies for Lender and Borrower. At Lender’s option, this Agreement and the related Loan Documents may also be executed by Borrower and Guarantors in remote locations with signature pages faxed to Lender. Borrower and Guarantors agree that the faxed signatures are binding upon Borrower and Guarantors, and Borrower and Guarantors further agree to promptly deliver the original signatures for this Agreement and the related Loan Documents by overnight mail or expedited delivery. It will be an Event of Default if Borrower or Guarantors fail to promptly deliver all required original signatures.
     28. Captions. Captions are for convenience only and should not be used in interpreting this Agreement.

 


 

     29. Final Agreement.
          (a) In connection with the Loans, Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender have executed and delivered this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, and the Loan Documents (collectively the “Written Loan Agreement”).
          (b) It is the intention of Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender that this paragraph be incorporated by reference into each of the Loan Documents. Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender each warrant and represent that their entire agreement with respect to the Loans is contained within the Written Loan Agreement, and that no agreements or promises have been made by, or exist by or among, Borrower, Guarantors, and Lender that are not reflected in the Written Loan Agreement.
          (c) THE LOAN AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return one copy of this letter. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, this Agreement shall only be effective if Borrower and Guarantors sign and return to Lender by 3 p.m., Houston, Texas time, on Thursday, March 27, 2008.
