GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (together with its subsidiary, “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale, (ii) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley Taylor Sand, and (iii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates—Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposit accounts and temporary cash investments with maturities of ninety days or less at date of purchase.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—We routinely assess the recoverability of all material trade and other receivables to determine their collectability. Many of our receivables are from a limited number of purchasers. Accordingly, accounts receivable from such purchases could be significant. Generally, our oil and natural gas receivables are collected within thirty to sixty days of production. We also have receivables from joint interest owners of properties we operate. We may have the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings.

We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. As of each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.

Inventory—Inventory consists of casing and tubulars that are expected to be used in our drilling program and oil in storage tanks. Inventory is carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment—We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreage are capitalized. When proved reserves are found on an unproved property, the associated leasehold cost is transferred to proved properties. Significant unproved leases are reviewed periodically, and a valuation allowance is provided for any estimated decline in value. Costs of all other unproved leases are amortized over the estimated average holding period of the leases. Development costs are capitalized, including the costs of unsuccessful development wells.

Exploration—Exploration expenditures, including geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory dry hole costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of drilling exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves can be attributed to the discovery. If management determines that commercial quantities of hydrocarbons have not been discovered, capitalized costs associated with exploratory wells are expensed.

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three levels (levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between levels.

Each of these levels and our corresponding instruments classified by level are further described below:

• Level 1 Inputs—unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Included in this level is our Senior Notes;

• Level 2 Inputs—quotes which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our Senior Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and

• Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on the Company’s various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this level are our oil and natural gas properties which are deemed impaired.

At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Impairment—We periodically assess our long-lived assets recorded in oil and natural gas properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to ensure that they are not carried in excess of fair value, which is computed using Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on estimated future commodity prices and our various operational assumptions. An evaluation is performed on a field-by-field basis at least annually or whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that our oil and natural gas properties may be impaired.

As of September 30, 2012, we have interests in oil and natural gas properties totaling $756.5 million, net of accumulated depletion, which we account for under the successful efforts method. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair-value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, prices, and costs, considering all available information at the date of review. Due to the uncertainty inherent in these factors, we cannot predict when or if additional future impairment charges will be recorded. We estimated future net cash flows generated from our oil and natural gas properties by using oil and natural gas futures prices published by the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”).

We determined during the first quarter of 2012 that the carrying amount of certain of our non-core oil and natural gas properties were not recoverable from future cash flows due to declining natural gas prices and, therefore, we recorded an impairment of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These impairment charges reduced the fields’ carrying value to an estimated fair value of $0.9 million. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2012 or September 30, 2012.

Depreciation—Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used to compute unit rates for unamortized tangible and intangible development costs, and proved reserves are used for unamortized leasehold costs.

Gains and losses on disposals or retirements that are significant or include an entire depreciable or depletable property unit are included in operating income. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Transportation Obligation—We entered into a gas gathering agreement with an independent service provider, effective July 27, 2010. The agreement is scheduled to remain in effect for a period of ten years and requires the service provider to construct pipelines and facilities to connect our wells to the service provider’s gathering system in our Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas. In

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

compensation for the services, we agreed to pay the service provider 110 percent of the total capital cost incurred by the service provider to construct new pipelines and facilities. The service provider bills us for 20 percent of the accumulated unpaid capital costs annually.

We account for the agreement by recording a long-term asset, included in “Deferred financing cost and other” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The asset is amortized using the units-of-production method and the amortization expense is included in “Transportation and processing” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related current and long-term liabilities are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accrued liabilities” and “Transportation obligation,” respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations—We follow the accounting standard related to accounting for asset retirement obligations. These obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized using the entitlements method. We record a liability or an asset for natural gas balancing when we have sold more or less than our working interest share of natural gas production, respectively. At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. Differences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted.

Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, options, collars and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and to hedge our exposure to changing interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.

Income Taxes—We account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Earnings Per Share—Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock calculated using the Treasury Stock method and the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of shares associated with our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029.

Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability.

Share-Based Compensation—We account for our share-based transactions using fair value and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with various assumptions based on our estimates. Our assumptions include expected volatility, expected term of option,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Expected volatility estimates are developed by us based on historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date. Our common stock does not pay dividends, so the dividend yield is zero. The fair value of restricted stock is measured using the close of the day stock price on the day of the award.

Guarantee—On March 2, 2011, we issued and sold $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C.

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, as the parent company (the “Parent Company”), has no independent assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Parent Company has no other subsidiaries. In addition, there are no restrictions on the ability of the Parent Company to obtain funds from its subsidiary by dividend or loan. Finally, the Parent Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary does not have restricted assets that exceed 25% of net assets as of the most recent fiscal year end that may not be transferred to the Parent Company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiary without the consent of a third party.

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” - In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued additional guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requirements for measurement of and disclosures about fair value. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on companies applying US GAAP. Principal provisions of the amendments include: (i) application of the ‘highest and best use’ is relevant only when measuring fair value for non-financial assets and liabilities; (ii) a prohibition on grouping financial instruments for purposes of determining fair value, except when an entity manages market and credit risks on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to the group; (iii) an extension of the prohibition against the use of a blockage factor to all fair value measurements (that prohibition currently applies only to financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets); (iv) guidance that fair value measurement of equity instruments should be made from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset; and (v) a requirement that for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, entities disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation process used and qualitative details about the sensitivity of the measurements. In addition, for Balance Sheet items not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed, entities will be required to disclose the Level within the fair value hierarchy that applies to the fair value measurement disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s fair value measurements, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income”- In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to eliminate the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” - In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and IFRS requirements for offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities presented in the statements of financial position. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The disclosure affects all entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or subject to a master netting arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required by this ASU retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(1) The carrying amount for the Senior Credit Facility represents fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions and the carrying amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 represents fair value because the last transacted activity was at par; otherwise, fair value was obtained by direct market quotes within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014. The debt discount was $23.0 million and $30.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes the total interest expense (contractual interest expense, amortization of debt discount and financing costs) and the effective interest rate on the liability component of the debt (amounts in thousands, except effective interest rates):

Senior Credit Facility

On May 5, 2009, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all amendments, the “Senior Credit Facility”) that replaced our previous facility. Total lender commitments under the Senior Credit Facility are $600 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2014 subject to automatic extension to February 25, 2016, if we prepay or escrow proceeds sufficient to prepay our $218.5 million 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are limited to, and subject to, periodic redeterminations of the borrowing base, which was $206.4 million as of September 30, 2012. In connection with the October 1, 2012 redetermination, the borrowing base was increased to $210 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, borrowing base redeterminations occur on each April 1 and October 1. Interest on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility accrues at a rate calculated, at our option, at the bank base rate plus 1.00% to 1.75%, or LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case depending on borrowing base utilization. As of September 30, 2012, we had $99.0 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. Substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral to secure our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility.

The terms of the Senior Credit Facility require us to comply with certain covenants. Capitalized terms used here, but not defined, have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Credit Facility. The primary financial covenants include:

• Current Ratio of 1.0/1.0;

• Ratio of EBITDAX to cash Interest Expense of not less than 2.5/1.0 for the trailing four quarters; and

• Total Debt no greater than 4.0 times EBITDAX for the trailing four quarters.

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, Current Ratio is consolidated current assets (including current availability under the Senior Credit Facility, but excluding non-cash assets related to our derivatives) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash liabilities related to our derivatives, accrued capital expenditures and current maturities under the Senior Credit Facility).

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, EBITDAX is earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, stock based compensation and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. In calculating EBITDAX for this purpose, earnings include realized gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges but exclude unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges.

We were in compliance with all the financial covenants of the Senior Credit Facility as of September 30, 2012.

8.875% Senior Notes due 2019

On March 2, 2011, we sold $275 million of our 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes mature on March 15, 2019, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The 2019 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future indebtedness. The 2019 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.875% annually, and interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by our subsidiary that also guarantees our Senior Credit Facility.

Before March 15, 2014, we may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. On or after March 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to (i) 104.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2015; (ii) 102.219% for the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2016 and (iii) 100% on or after March 15, 2017, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to March 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The indenture governing the 2019 Notes restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) make certain dividends or pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchase, redeem or retire such capital stock; (iii) sell assets, including the capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries; (iv) pay dividends or other payments of our restricted subsidiaries; (v) create liens that secure debt; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates and (vii) merge or consolidate with another company. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. At any time when the 2019 Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes) has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate.

5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029

In September 2009, we sold $218.5 million of our 2029 Notes. The notes mature on October 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future indebtedness. The 2029 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% annually, and interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes before October 1, 2014. On or after October 1, 2014, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Notes for cash, and the investors may require us to repurchase the 2029 Notes on each of October 1, 2014, 2019 and 2024. Upon conversion, we have the option to deliver shares at the applicable conversion rate, redeem in cash or in certain circumstances redeem in a combination of cash and shares.

Investors may convert their 2029 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 135% of the conversion price of the 2029 Notes for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) prior to October 1, 2014, during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) if the 2029 Notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of one of specified corporate transactions. Investors may also convert their 2029 Notes at their option at any time beginning on September 1, 2029, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The 2029 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a rate equal to 28.8534 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes (equal to an “initial conversion price” of approximately $34.66 per share of common stock per share).

We separately account for the liability and equity components of our 2029 Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest is recognized in subsequent periods. Upon issuance of the notes in September 2009, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, we recorded a debt discount of $49.4 million, thereby reducing the carrying the value of $218.5 million notes on the December 31, 2009 balance sheet to $171.1 million and recorded an equity component net of tax of $32.1 million. The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we repurchased $174.6 million of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of our 2019 Notes. At September 30, 2012, $0.4 million of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding. Holders may present to us for redemption the remaining outstanding 2026 Notes on December 1, 2016 and December 1, 2021. Upon conversion, we have the option to deliver shares at the applicable conversion rate, redeem in cash or in certain circumstances redeem in a combination of cash and shares.

The 2026 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a rate equal to the sum of:

a) 15.1653 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes (equal to a “base conversion price” of approximately $65.94 per share) plus

b) an additional amount of shares per $1,000 of principal amount of 2026 Notes equal to the incremental share factor (2.6762), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable stock price less the “base conversion price” and the denominator of which is the applicable stock price.

NOTE 5—Income Taxes

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We increased our valuation allowance and reduced our net deferred tax assets to zero during 2009 after considering all available positive and negative evidence related to the realization of our deferred tax assets. Our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and, as a result, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred assets as of September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we have no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no significant changes to the calculation since December 31, 2011.

Commodity Derivative Activity

We enter into swap contracts, costless collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage commodity price risk for a portion of our production. Our strategy, which is administered by the Hedging Committee of our Board of Directors, and reviewed periodically by the entire Board of Directors, has been to generally hedge between 30% and 70% of our estimated total production for the period the derivatives are in effect. As of September 30, 2012, the commodity derivatives we used were in the form of:

(a) collars, where we receive the excess, if any, of the floor price over the reference price, based on NYMEX quoted prices, and pay the excess, if any, of the reference price over the ceiling price;

(b) swaps, where we receive a fixed price and pay a floating price, based on NYMEX or specific transfer point quoted prices; and

(c) swaptions, where we grant the counter party the right but not the obligation to enter into an underlying swap by a specific date at a specific strike price.

GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Despite the measures taken by us to attempt to control price risk, we remain subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and crude oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond our control. Domestic crude oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis. We routinely exercise our contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses when settling with our financial counterparties. As of September 30, 2012, our open forward positions on our outstanding commodity derivative contracts, all of which were with BNP Paribas, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc., were as follows:

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, or if earlier, as of the date they were made; we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

These forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following risk and uncertainties:

• planned capital expenditures;

• future drilling activity;

• our financial condition;

• business strategy, including our ability to successfully transition to more liquids-focused operations;

• the market prices of oil and natural gas;

• uncertainties about our estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves;

• financial market conditions and availability of capital;

• production;

• hedging arrangements;

• future cash flows and borrowings;

• litigation matters;

• pursuit of potential future acquisition opportunities;

• sources of funding for exploration and development;

• general economic conditions, either nationally or in the jurisdictions in which we do business;

• the securities, capital or credit markets; and

• our ability to repay our debt.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from projected results, please read the rest of this report and Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of properties primarily in (i) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend, (ii) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley Taylor Sand and (iii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.

We seek to increase shareholder value by growing our oil and natural gas reserves, production revenues and operating cash flow. In our opinion, on a long term basis, growth in oil and natural gas reserves and cash flow on a cost-effective basis are the most important indicators of performance success for an independent oil and natural gas company.

Management strives to increase our oil and natural gas reserves, production and cash flow through exploration and development activities. We develop an annual capital expenditure budget which is reviewed and approved by our board of directors on a quarterly basis and revised throughout the year as circumstances warrant. We take into consideration our projected operating cash flow and externally available sources of financing, such as bank debt, when establishing our capital expenditure budget.

We place primary emphasis on our cash flow from operating activities (“operating cash flow”) in managing our business. For this purpose, operating cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities as reflected in our Statement of Cash Flows. Management considers operating cash flow a more important indicator of our financial success than other traditional performance measures such as net income.

Our revenues and operating cash flow depend on the successful development of our inventory of drilling locations, the volume and timing of our production, as well as commodity prices for oil and natural gas. Such pricing factors are largely beyond our control, but we employ commodity hedging techniques in an attempt to minimize the volatility of short term commodity price fluctuations on our earnings and operating cash flow.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to provide long-term growth in reserves and cash flow on a cost-effective basis. We focus on adding reserve value through the development of our Eagle Ford Shale Trend, Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley Taylor Sands acreage. We regularly evaluate possible acquisitions of prospective acreage and oil and natural gas drilling opportunities.

Several of the key elements of our business strategy are the following:

• Develop existing property base. We seek to maximize the value of our existing assets by developing and exploiting our properties with the lowest risk and the highest rate of return potential. We intend to develop our multi-year inventory of drilling locations on our acreage in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend, Haynesville Shale, Cotton Valley Taylor Sand and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in order to develop our oil and natural gas reserves.

• Increase our oil production. During the past year, we have concentrated on increasing our crude oil production and reserves by investing and drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. We intend to take advantage of the current favorable sales price of oil compared to the relative sales price of natural gas. We increased our oil production as a percentage of total production from 11% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively to 23% and 19% for the three and nine months September 30, 2012, respectively.

• Expand acreage position in shale plays. As of September 30, 2012, we have acquired approximately 134,200 net acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale in Southeastern Louisiana and Southwestern Mississippi. We continue to concentrate our efforts in areas where we can apply our technical expertise and where we have significant operational control or experience. To leverage our extensive regional knowledge base, we seek to acquire leasehold acreage with significant drilling potential in areas that exhibit characteristics similar to our existing properties. We continually strive to rationalize our portfolio of properties by selling marginal non-core properties in an effort to redeploy capital to exploitation, development and exploration projects that offer a potentially higher overall return.

• Focus on maximizing cash flow margins. We intend to maximize operating cash flow by focusing on higher-margin oil development in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend and the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale. In the current commodity price environment, our Eagle Ford Shale Trend and Tuscaloosa Marine Shale assets offer more attractive rates of return on capital invested and cash flow margins than our natural gas assets.

• Maintain financial flexibility. As of September 30, 2012, we had a borrowing base of $206.4 million under our $600 million Senior Credit Facility, of which $99.0 million was outstanding. In connection with the October 1, 2012 redetermination, the borrowing base was increased to $210 million. We have historically funded growth through operating cash flow, debt, equity and equity-linked security issuances, divestments of non-core assets and entering into strategic joint ventures. We actively manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by hedging meaningful portions of our expected production through the use of derivatives, including fixed price swaps, swaptions and costless collars. The level of our hedging activity and the duration of the instruments employed depend upon our view of market conditions, available hedge prices and our operating strategy.

Primary Operating Areas

Eagle Ford Shale Trend

During the first nine months of 2012, we continued drilling operations on our acreage in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend. We entered the Eagle Ford Shale Trend in April 2010. Our leasehold position is located in both La Salle and Frio Counties, Texas. We hold approximately 53,500 gross (38,200 net) acres as of September 30, 2012, all of which are either producing from or prospective for the Eagle Ford Shale. During the first nine months of 2012, we conducted drilling operations on approximately 27 gross (17 net) Eagle Ford Shale Trend wells. In the last quarter of 2012, we plan to conduct drilling operations on 12 gross (eight net) wells in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend. During the first nine months of 2012, we spent approximately $135.8 million on drilling and completion, leasehold and infrastructure capital expenditures in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.

Tuscaloosa Marine Shale

We hold approximately 159,000 gross (134,200 net) acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale as of September 30, 2012. Our acreage is located in East Feliciana, West Feliciana, St. Helena, Concordia and Washington Parishes in Southeastern Louisiana and Wilkinson, Pike and Amite Counties in Southwestern Mississippi. Since December 31, 2011, we have added approximately 57,200 gross (53,900 net) acres in the trend. During the first nine months of 2012, we conducted drilling operations on approximately four gross (one net) Tuscaloosa Marine Shale wells. In the last quarter of 2012, we plan to conduct drilling operation on four gross (two net) Tuscaloosa Marine Shale wells. During the first nine months of 2012, we spent approximately $32.5 million in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend, which included $18.1 million for leasehold costs.

Haynesville Shale Trend

Our relatively low risk development drilling program in this trend is primarily centered in Rusk, Panola, Angelina and Nacogdoches counties, Texas and DeSoto and Caddo Parishes, Louisiana. We hold approximately 126,700 gross (81,900 net) acres as of September 30, 2012 producing from and prospective for the Haynesville Shale. Our net production volumes from our Haynesville Shale wells aggregated approximately 39,000 Mcfe per day in the third quarter of 2012, or approximately 46% of our total production for the quarter. In early 2012, we reduced our capital spending budget in the Haynesville Shale Trend to approximately $27.5 million due to low natural gas prices and we currently have minimal to no capital dollars budgeted for the last quarter of 2012. During the first nine months of 2012, we conducted drilling operations on approximately six gross (three net) Haynesville Shale Trend wells, which included four gross (two net) non-operated wells that were drilled in 2011 but were cased in early 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately 13 gross (six net) Haynesville Shale Trend wells drilled and waiting on completion.

Core Haynesville Shale

Our core Haynesville Shale drilling program is primarily concentrated in the Bethany-Longstreet and Greenwood-Waskom fields in Caddo and DeSoto Parishes in Northwest Louisiana. Our core Haynesville Shale drilling activity includes both operated and non-operated drilling in and around our core acreage positions in Northwest Louisiana. We held approximately 66,800 gross (43,900 net) acres as of September 30, 2012. Our net production volumes from our core Haynesville Shale wells totaled approximately 31,400 Mcfe per day in the third quarter of 2012, or approximately 37% of our total production for the quarter. For the remainder of 2012, we have minimal to no capital dollars budgeted for Core Haynesville Shale drilling and completion activity.

Shelby Trough / Angelina River Trend

We operate all of our drilling activities in this area, which is primarily located in Nacogdoches, Angelina and Shelby counties, Texas. The Company currently holds approximately 41,400 gross (30,300 net) acres as of September 30, 2012. Our net production volumes from the Shelby Trough wells totaled approximately 4,100 Mcfe per day in the third quarter of 2012, or approximately 5% of our total production for the quarter. During the first nine months of 2012, we conducted drilling operations on one 100% owned Angelina River Trend well, and we have currently deferred completion activity on that well until 2013. For the remainder of 2012, we have minimal to no capital dollars budgeted for Angelina River Trend drilling and completion activity.

Overview of Third Quarter 2012 Results

Third Quarter 2012 financial and operating results included:

• Our oil and condensate production for the third quarter of 2012 increased to 23% of our total production compared to 11% of our total production in the third quarter of 2011.

• Our oil revenue for the third quarter of 2012 increased to 63% of our total oil and natural gas revenue compared to 31% of our oil and natural gas revenue in the third quarter of 2011.

• We conducted drilling operations on 13 gross (eight net) wells in the third quarter of 2012, including ten gross (seven net) Eagle Ford Shale Trend wells in South Texas and three gross (one net) in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend. We added six gross (four net) wells to production in the third quarter of 2012, all of which were in the Eagle Ford Shale Trend. As of September 30, 2012, we had 18 gross (nine net) wells drilled and waiting on completion mostly comprised of 13 gross (six net) Haynesville Shale Trend wells.

• We produced our first non-operated well and completed drilling operations on our first operated well in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.

• We purchased an additional 1,800 net acres in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale resulting in a net acreage position of 134,200 net acres.

• We sold our interest in certain non-core properties in the South Henderson field in East Texas for $95 million and used the net proceeds to pay down borrowings outstanding under our credit facility, which improved our liquidity position.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reported net income applicable to common stock of $10.9 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $46.0 million as compared to net income applicable to common stock of $12.1 million, or $0.34 per basic share and $0.33 per diluted share, on total revenue of $55.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in natural gas production volumes in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 reduced oil and natural gas revenue by $17.3 million, while the increase in average realized sales price benefited oil and natural gas revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2012 by approximately $7.7 million. We recorded a $6.1 million loss on derivatives not designated as hedges in the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a $26.5 million gain on derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we reported net loss applicable to common stock of $13.1 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $132.6 million as compared to net loss applicable to common stock of $14.0 million, or $0.39 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $149.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in natural gas production volumes in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 reduced oil and natural gas revenue by $28.1 million, while the increase in average realized sales price benefited oil and natural gas revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 by approximately $12.0 million. We recorded a $27.3 million gain on derivatives not designated as hedges in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a $27.4 million gain on derivatives not designated as hedges for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Oil and Natural Gas Revenue

Revenues from operations decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of a 27% decrease in daily production, partially offset by a 14% net increase in average realized sales price. The production decrease in the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily caused by a natural decline in natural gas production and not drilling natural gas wells. In response to depressed natural gas prices, we continue to focus our resources on increasing oil production, which we are currently able to sell at a more favorable relative price. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, 63% of our oil and natural gas revenue was attributable to oil revenue compared to 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Revenues from operations decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as a result of a 18% decrease in daily production, partially offset by an 8% net increase in average realized sales price. The production decrease in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily caused by a natural decline in natural gas production. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 58% of our oil and natural gas revenue was attributable to oil revenue versus 25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for natural gas was $2.87 per Mcf, excluding the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for natural gas was $4.05 per Mcf, excluding the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for natural gas was $5.60 per Mcf, including the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for natural gas was $4.76 per Mcf, including the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for natural gas was $2.76 per Mcf, excluding the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for natural gas was $4.04 per Mcf, excluding the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for natural gas was $5.34 per Mcf, including the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for natural gas was $4.74 per Mcf, including the effect of the realized gains on our natural gas derivatives.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for oil was $97.43 per Bbl, excluding the effect of the realized gains on our oil derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for oil was $84.18 per Bbl, excluding the effect of the realized losses on our oil derivatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for oil including the effect of realized gains on our oil derivatives was $105.63 per Bbl. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for oil was $92.19 per Bbl, including the effect of the realized losses on our oil derivatives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for oil was $100.46 per Bbl, excluding the effect of the realized gains on our oil derivatives. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for oil was $89.65 per Bbl, excluding the effect of the realized gains on our oil derivatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our average realized price for oil including the effect of the realized gains on our oil derivatives was $105.63 per Bbl. For the same period in 2011, our average realized price for oil was $94.51 per Bbl, including the effect of the realized gains on our oil derivatives.

The difference between our average realized prices inclusive of the effect of the realized gains and losses on our oil and natural gas derivatives in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 periods relates to our new natural gas and oil swap contracts. As of September 30, 2012, we have 60,000 MMBtu per day hedged at an average floor price of $5.78 per MMBtu, and as of September 30, 2011, we had 40,000 MMBtu per day hedged at an average floor price of $6.00 per MMbtu. As of September 30, 2012, we have 3,500 Bbls per day hedged at an average fixed price of $100.12 per Bbl and as of September 30, 2011, we had 1,500 Bbls per day hedged at an average fixed price of $102.10 per Bbl.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased $41.3 million, or 75%, to $14.1 million in three months ended September 30, 2012 from $55.4 million in the same period in 2011. This decrease was caused by the gain on the sale of assets offset by an increased lease operating expenses, transportation and processing, exploration expense and general and administrative expense.

Operating expenses decreased $20.6 million, or 14%, to $129.2 million in nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $149.8 million in the same period in 2011. This decrease was caused by the gain on the sale of assets offset by an increased lease operating expenses, transportation and processing and depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense.

Lease Operating Expense

Lease operating expense (“LOE”) during the current three month period included an expense of $0.4 million in workover costs which added $0.05 per Mcfe to unit expense. Our LOE is trending higher as we add more oil wells which carry higher operating costs than natural gas wells. Oil contributed 23% to our production volumes in the third quarter 2012 compared to only 11% in third quarter 2011.

LOE during the current nine month period included an expense of $3.4 million in workover costs which added $0.14 per Mcfe to unit expense. Our LOE is trending higher as we add more oil wells to our well count which carry higher operating costs than natural gas wells. Oil contributed 19% to our production volumes in the first nine months of 2012 compared to only 8% in the first nine months of 2011.

22

Production and Other Taxes

Production and other taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 include production tax of $0.9 million and ad valorem tax of $0.8 million. Production tax for the current period is net of $0.8 million of tax credits attributed to Tight Gas Sands (“TGS”) credits for our natural gas wells in the State of Texas. During the comparable period in 2011, production and other taxes included production tax of $0.9 million and ad valorem tax of $0.7 million. Production tax for that comparable period was net of $0.3 million in TGS credits.

Production and other taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include production tax of $4.2 million and ad valorem tax of $1.6 million. Production tax for the current period is net of $1.3 million of tax credits attributed to TGS credits for our natural gas wells in the State of Texas. During the comparable period in 2011, production and other taxes included production tax of $2.2 million and ad valorem tax of $2.0 million. Production tax for that comparable period was net of $1.2 million in TGS credits.

The increase in production and other taxes in 2012 over 2011 is attributable to production taxes incurred in connection with our new Texas oil wells that are not subject to any production tax abatement.

TGS credits allow for reduced and/or eliminated severance taxes in the State of Texas for qualifying wells for up to ten years of production. We accrue for such credits once we have been notified of the State’s approval.

Our Louisiana horizontal wells are eligible for a two year severance tax exemption from the date of first production or until payout of qualified costs, whichever comes first. Many of our exempt Louisiana wells are reaching the two year maturity and, as a result, we incurred higher production taxes compared to the first nine months of 2011.

Transportation and Processing Expense

Transportation and processing expense increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, partially as a result of higher gathering costs related to our gas production from the Eagle Ford Shale Trend wells but more predominately related to the renegotiation of certain natural gas gathering and processing contracts. In return for paying higher gathering and processing fees we are receiving higher pricing due to the existence of natural gas liquids in our natural gas thereby increasing our revenues.

Exploration

The increase in exploration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was attributable to 2012 including $0.6 million for seismic costs and $0.1 million for delay rental expense.

The increase in exploration expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 relates to $0.3 million of delay rental expense in 2012.

Depreciation Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”)

DD&A expense in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was affected by an increase in oil production volumes and a greater percentage of our production volumes coming from operating areas with higher DD&A rates, such as our Eagle Ford Shale Trend oil properties. The average DD&A rate increased 38%, while our oil production increased 45% period to period.

DD&A expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was affected by an increase in oil production volumes and a greater percentage of our production volumes coming from operating areas with higher DD&A rates, such as our Eagle Ford Shale Trend oil properties. The average DD&A rate increased 35%, while our oil production increased 83% period to period.

Impairment

We recorded impairment expense of $2.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the majority of which was related to our non-core fields due to declining natural gas prices. We recorded impairment expense of $1.2 million on two properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the majority of which was related to an increase in asset retirement obligation for a field that is no longer producing. We did not record an impairment in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the $0.1 million impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2011 attributed to one field.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense

G&A expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period 2011. The increase reflects higher share-based compensation expense. Share-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash item, amounted to $1.7 million in 2012 compared to $1.3 million in 2011.

G&A expense decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period 2011. The decrease reflects lower employee related cost due to lower average head count and higher overhead recovery from capital projects. Share based compensation expense, which is a non-cash item, amounted to $4.7 million in 2012 compared to $4.5 million in 2011.

Gain on Sale of Assets

We recorded a gain of $44.2 million in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 representing the sale our interest in certain non-core properties located in our South Henderson field in East Texas.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily caused by our higher average level of outstanding debt in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The higher average level of debt resulted from borrowings on our Senior Credit Facility. Non-cash interest of $3.1 million is included in the $13.3 million interest expense reported for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The increase in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily caused by our higher average level of outstanding debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The higher average level of debt resulted from increased borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and the refinancing of almost all of the $175 million of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) with proceeds from the offering of $275 million of our 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). Non-cash interest of $9.4 million is included in the $39.3 million interest expense reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Loss on derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended September 30, 2012 includes a realized gain of $18.8 million offset by an unrealized loss of $24.9 million for the change in the fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts. Loss on oil derivatives was $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 consisting of a realized gain of $2.4 million offset an unrealized loss of $7.7 million reflecting the fall in oil futures prices for the period. Loss on natural gas derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $0.8 million, consisting of a realized gain of $16.4 million offset by an unrealized loss of $17.2 million. The unrealized loss was the result of the roll off of settled contracts and natural gas futures price improvements.

Gain on derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended September 30, 2011 consists of a realized gain of $8.3 million and an unrealized gain of $18.2 million for the change in fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts. The average futures strip prices for oil and natural gas were lower in the current period compared to the previous quarter resulting in an unrealized gain in the third quarter of 2011.

Gain on derivatives not designated as hedges for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes a realized gain of $56.0 million, partially offset by an unrealized loss of $28.7 million for the change in the fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts. Gain on oil derivatives was $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisting of a realized gain of $4.0 million and an unrealized gain of $11.8 million reflecting the fall in oil futures prices for the period. Gain on natural gas derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $11.5 million, consisting of a realized gain of $52.1 million offset by an unrealized loss of $40.6 million. The unrealized loss was the result of the roll off of settled contracts and natural gas futures price improvements.

Gain on derivatives not designated as hedges for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 consists of a realized gain of $21.4 million offset by an unrealized loss of $6.0 million for the change in fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts. The average futures strip prices for oil and natural gas were lower in the current period compared to year end 2011, resulting in an unrealized gain in the current period.

We will continue to be exposed to volatility in earnings resulting from changes in the fair value of our commodity contracts as we do not designate these contracts as hedges.

Income Tax Benefit

We recorded no income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We increased our valuation allowance and reduced our net deferred tax assets to zero during 2009 after considering all available positive and negative evidence related to the realization of our deferred tax assets. Our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed and as a result, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred asset as of September 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity during the first nine months of 2012 were cash on hand, cash flow from operating activities, borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and proceeds from the sale of assets. We used cash primarily to fund our capital spending program, pay down debt, pay interest on outstanding debt, and pay preferred stock dividends. We expect to finance our estimated capital expenditures for the remainder of 2012 through a combination of cash from operating activities and borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility.

25

Our total 2012 capital expenditure budget is $250 million. We expect capital spending by area to be approximately 70% for Eagle Ford Shale Trend, 11% for Haynesville Shale Trend, 8% for the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale and 11% for leasehold and infrastructure.

We have in place a $600 million Senior Credit Facility, entered into with a syndicate of U.S. and international lenders. In accordance with the terms of our Senior Credit Facility, our borrowing base was reduced from $265 million to $206.4 million as a result of the sale of our South Henderson field in September 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we had a $206.4 million borrowing base with $99.0 million outstanding. In connection with the October 1, 2012 redetermination, the borrowing base was increased to $210 million. We were in compliance with existing covenants under the Senior Credit Facility at September 30, 2012.

We continuously monitor our leverage position and coordinate our capital program with our expected cash flows and repayment of our projected debt. We will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as needed.

Alternatives available to us include:

• sale of non-core assets;

• joint venture partnerships in our core Haynesville Shale, Eagle Ford Shale Trend and/or Tuscaloosa Marine Shale acreage;

• availability under our Senior Credit Facility; and

• issuance of debt securities.

We have supported our cash flows with oil and natural gas derivative contracts which covered approximately 85% of our oil and natural gas sales volumes for the first nine months of 2012. We have also supported our cash flows by entering into derivative positions currently covering approximately 80% of our projected oil and natural gas sales volumes for the remainder of 2012. See Note 7 - “Derivative Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part 1 Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Cash Flows

The following table presents our comparative cash flow summary for the periods reported (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			Variance
Cash flow statement information:
Net cash:
Provided by operating activities	$	97,573		$	109,937		$	(12,364	)
Used in investing activities		(91,236	)		(287,895	)		196,659
Provided by (used in) financing activities		(8,114	)		163,611			(171,725	)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(1,777	)	$	(14,347	)	$	12,570

Operating activities. Production from our wells, the price of oil and natural gas and operating costs represent the main drivers behind our cash flow from operations. Changes in working capital also impact cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $97.6 million down $12.4 million from the nine months end September 30, 2011. The decrease reflects lower oil and natural gas revenues, higher operating expenses and changes in working capital offset by realized cash settlements on our derivative contracts.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $91.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $287.9 million for 2011. While we booked capital expenditures of approximately $194.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid out cash amounts totaling $184.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with the difference being attributed to $30.3 million in drilling and completion costs accrued at September 30, 2012 and non-cash asset retirement obligation additions of $0.5 million, partially offset by $22.3 million in drilling and completion cost accrued at December 31, 2011 and paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Offsetting our capital expenditures was the receipt of $93.7 million in net proceeds, primarily from the sale of our South Henderson field in East Texas.

Financing activities. The net cash used in financing activities for nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of proceeds from net payments under our Senior Credit Facility of $3.5 million, partially offset by preferred stock dividends of $4.5 million. We have $99.0 million borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility as of September 30, 2012. In the nine months

26

ended September 30, 2011 net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds from the issuance our 2019 Notes and borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility offset by the redemption of a majority of our 2026 Notes, cash restricted for the repurchase of convertible notes, financing cost on the issuance of 2019 Notes and preferred stock dividend.

Debt consisted of the following balances as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value (1)		Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value (1)
Senior Credit Facility	$	99,000	$	99,000	$	99,000	$	102,500	$	102,500	$	102,500
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026		429		429		429		429		429		429
5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (2)		218,500		195,524		205.456		218,500		188,197		201,785
8.875% Senior Notes due 2019		275,000		275,000		265,375		275,000		275,000		243,898
Total debt	$	592,929	$	569,953	$	570,260	$	596,429	$	566,126	$	548,612

(1) The carrying amount for the Senior Credit Facility represents fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions and the carrying amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 represents fair value because the last transacted activity was at par; otherwise, fair value was obtained by direct market quotes within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014. The debt discount was $23.0 million and $30.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 respectively.

The following table summarizes the total interest expense (contractual interest expense, amortization of debt discount and financing costs) and the effective interest rate on the liability component of the debt (amounts in thousands, except effective interest rates):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012					Three Months Ended September 30, 2011					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
	Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate
Senior Credit Facility		1,561		3.5	%		1,043		—	*		4,057		3.6	%		2,754		—	*
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026		3		3.2	%		546		8.7	%		10		3.2	%		3,942		9.1	%
5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029		5,423		10.9	%		5,175		11.1	%		16,269		11.2	%		15,525		11.4	%
8.875% Senior Notes due 2019		6,327		9.0	%		6,257		9.1	%		18,981		9.1	%		14,585		9.2	%

* An Effective Interest Rate Calculation is not meaningful for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 since there were only minimal average amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility during the period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, includes a discussion of our critical accounting policies and there have been no material changes to such policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

28

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk 1

Our primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These fluctuations can affect revenues and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Our risk-management policies provide for the use of derivative instruments to manage these risks. The types of derivative instruments we utilize include futures, swaps, options and fixed-price physical-delivery contracts. The volume of commodity derivative instruments we utilize may vary from year to year and is governed by risk-management policies with levels of authority delegated by our Board of Directors. Both exchange and over-the-counter traded commodity derivative instruments may be subject to margin deposit requirements, and we may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or its counterparties in order to satisfy these margin requirements.

For information regarding our accounting policies and additional information related to our derivative and financial instruments, see Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies”, Note 7—“Derivative Activities” and Note 3—“Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part 1 Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Commodity Price Risk

Our most significant market risk relates to fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices. Management expects the prices of these commodities to remain volatile and unpredictable. As these prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flow will also decline or rise significantly. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and natural gas properties may be required if future commodity prices experience a sustained and significant decline. Below is a sensitivity analysis of our commodity-price-related derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2012, we have derivative instruments in place for 2012 of approximately 60,000 Mbtu per day (natural gas) and 3,500 Bbls per day (crude oil). At September 30, 2012, we have a net asset derivative position of $10.4 million related to these derivative instruments. Utilizing actual derivative contractual volumes a hypothetical 10% increase in oil and natural gas prices would have decreased the net derivative asset to a $3.9 million net liability, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in oil and natural gas prices would have increased the net derivative asset to $25.6 million. However, a gain or loss would be substantially offset by a decrease or increase, respectively, in the actual sales value of production covered by the derivative instruments.

Adoption of Comprehensive Financial Reform

The adoption of comprehensive financial reform legislation by the United States Congress could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

29

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that any material information relating to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based upon their evaluation as of September 30, 2012, the end of the period covered in this report, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

30

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

A discussion of current legal proceedings is set forth in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, under “Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

Debt

NOTE 3—Debt

Debt consisted of the following balances as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

	September 30, 2012						December 31, 2011
	Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value (1)		Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value (1)
Senior Credit Facility	$	99,000	$	99,000	$	99,000	$	102,500	$	102,500	$	102,500
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026		429		429		429		429		429		429
5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (2)		218,500		195,524		205,456		218,500		188,197		201,785
8.875% Senior Notes due 2019		275,000		275,000		265,375		275,000		275,000		243,898
Total debt	$	592,929	$	569,953	$	570,260	$	596,429	$	566,126	$	548,612

(1) The carrying amount for the Senior Credit Facility represents fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions and the carrying amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 represents fair value because the last transacted activity was at par; otherwise, fair value was obtained by direct market quotes within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014. The debt discount was $23.0 million and $30.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes the total interest expense (contractual interest expense, amortization of debt discount and financing costs) and the effective interest rate on the liability component of the debt (amounts in thousands, except effective interest rates):

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012					Three Months Ended September 30, 2011					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
	Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate			Interest Expense		Effective Interest Rate
Senior Credit Facility		1,561		3.5	%		1,043		—	*		4,057		3.6	%		2,754		—	*
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026		3		3.2	%		546		8.7	%		10		3.2	%		3,942		9.1	%
5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029		5,423		10.9	%		5,175		11.1	%		16,269		11.2	%		15,525		11.4	%
8.875% Senior Notes due 2019		6,327		9.0	%		6,257		9.1	%		18,981		9.1	%		14,585		9.2	%

* An Effective Interest Rate Calculation is not meaningful for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 since there were only minimal average amounts borrowed under the Senior Credit Facility during the period.

Senior Credit Facility

On May 5, 2009, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all amendments, the “Senior Credit Facility”) that replaced our previous facility. Total lender commitments under the Senior Credit Facility are $600 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2014 subject to automatic extension to February 25, 2016, if we prepay or escrow proceeds sufficient to prepay our $218.5 million 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are limited to, and subject to, periodic redeterminations of the borrowing base, which was $206.4 million as of September 30, 2012. In connection with the October 1, 2012 redetermination, the borrowing base was increased to $210 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, borrowing base redeterminations occur on each April 1 and October 1. Interest on borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility accrues at a rate calculated, at our option, at the bank base rate plus 1.00% to 1.75%, or LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.75%, in each case depending on borrowing base utilization. As of September 30, 2012, we had $99.0 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. Substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral to secure our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility.

The terms of the Senior Credit Facility require us to comply with certain covenants. Capitalized terms used here, but not defined, have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Credit Facility. The primary financial covenants include:

• Current Ratio of 1.0/1.0;

• Ratio of EBITDAX to cash Interest Expense of not less than 2.5/1.0 for the trailing four quarters; and

• Total Debt no greater than 4.0 times EBITDAX for the trailing four quarters.

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, Current Ratio is consolidated current assets (including current availability under the Senior Credit Facility, but excluding non-cash assets related to our derivatives) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash liabilities related to our derivatives, accrued capital expenditures and current maturities under the Senior Credit Facility).

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, EBITDAX is earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, stock based compensation and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. In calculating EBITDAX for this purpose, earnings include realized gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges but exclude unrealized gains (losses) from derivatives not designated as hedges.

We were in compliance with all the financial covenants of the Senior Credit Facility as of September 30, 2012.

8.875% Senior Notes due 2019

On March 2, 2011, we sold $275 million of our 2019 Notes. The 2019 Notes mature on March 15, 2019, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The 2019 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future indebtedness. The 2019 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 8.875% annually, and interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by our subsidiary that also guarantees our Senior Credit Facility.

Before March 15, 2014, we may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. On or after March 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2019 Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to (i) 104.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2015; (ii) 102.219% for the twelve-month period beginning on March 15, 2016 and (iii) 100% on or after March 15, 2017, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to March 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The indenture governing the 2019 Notes restricts our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt; (ii) make certain dividends or pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchase, redeem or retire such capital stock; (iii) sell assets, including the capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries; (iv) pay dividends or other payments of our restricted subsidiaries; (v) create liens that secure debt; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates and (vii) merge or consolidate with another company. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. At any time when the 2019 Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes) has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate.

5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029

In September 2009, we sold $218.5 million of our 2029 Notes. The notes mature on October 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2029 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future indebtedness. The 2029 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5% annually, and interest is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

We may not redeem the 2029 Notes before October 1, 2014. On or after October 1, 2014, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Notes for cash, and the investors may require us to repurchase the 2029 Notes on each of October 1, 2014, 2019 and 2024. Upon conversion, we have the option to deliver shares at the applicable conversion rate, redeem in cash or in certain circumstances redeem in a combination of cash and shares.

Investors may convert their 2029 Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 135% of the conversion price of the 2029 Notes for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter; (2) prior to October 1, 2014, during the five business-day period after any ten consecutive trading-day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for each trading day in the measurement period was less than 97% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; (3) if the 2029 Notes have been called for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of one of specified corporate transactions. Investors may also convert their 2029 Notes at their option at any time beginning on September 1, 2029, and ending at the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The 2029 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a rate equal to 28.8534 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes (equal to an “initial conversion price” of approximately $34.66 per share of common stock per share).

We separately account for the liability and equity components of our 2029 Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest is recognized in subsequent periods. Upon issuance of the notes in September 2009, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, we recorded a debt discount of $49.4 million, thereby reducing the carrying the value of $218.5 million notes on the December 31, 2009 balance sheet to $171.1 million and recorded an equity component net of tax of $32.1 million. The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we repurchased $174.6 million of our 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) using a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of our 2019 Notes. At September 30, 2012, $0.4 million of the 2026 Notes remained outstanding. Holders may present to us for redemption the remaining outstanding 2026 Notes on December 1, 2016 and December 1, 2021. Upon conversion, we have the option to deliver shares at the applicable conversion rate, redeem in cash or in certain circumstances redeem in a combination of cash and shares.

The 2026 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a rate equal to the sum of:

a) 15.1653 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes (equal to a “base conversion price” of approximately $65.94 per share) plus

b) an additional amount of shares per $1,000 of principal amount of 2026 Notes equal to the incremental share factor (2.6762), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable stock price less the “base conversion price” and the denominator of which is the applicable stock price.

Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 1—Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (together with its subsidiary, “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas on properties primarily in (i) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale, (ii) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley Taylor Sand, and (iii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates—Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposit accounts and temporary cash investments with maturities of ninety days or less at date of purchase.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—We routinely assess the recoverability of all material trade and other receivables to determine their collectability. Many of our receivables are from a limited number of purchasers. Accordingly, accounts receivable from such purchases could be significant. Generally, our oil and natural gas receivables are collected within thirty to sixty days of production. We also have receivables from joint interest owners of properties we operate. We may have the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings.

We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. As of each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.

Inventory—Inventory consists of casing and tubulars that are expected to be used in our drilling program and oil in storage tanks. Inventory is carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment—We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreage are capitalized. When proved reserves are found on an unproved property, the associated leasehold cost is transferred to proved properties. Significant unproved leases are reviewed periodically, and a valuation allowance is provided for any estimated decline in value. Costs of all other unproved leases are amortized over the estimated average holding period of the leases. Development costs are capitalized, including the costs of unsuccessful development wells.

Exploration—Exploration expenditures, including geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory dry hole costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of drilling exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves can be attributed to the discovery. If management determines that commercial quantities of hydrocarbons have not been discovered, capitalized costs associated with exploratory wells are expensed.

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three levels (levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between levels.

Each of these levels and our corresponding instruments classified by level are further described below:

• Level 1 Inputs—unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Included in this level is our Senior Notes;

• Level 2 Inputs—quotes which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our Senior Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and

• Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on the Company’s various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this level are our oil and natural gas properties which are deemed impaired.

At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Impairment—We periodically assess our long-lived assets recorded in oil and natural gas properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to ensure that they are not carried in excess of fair value, which is computed using Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on estimated future commodity prices and our various operational assumptions. An evaluation is performed on a field-by-field basis at least annually or whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that our oil and natural gas properties may be impaired.

As of September 30, 2012, we have interests in oil and natural gas properties totaling $756.5 million, net of accumulated depletion, which we account for under the successful efforts method. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair-value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, prices, and costs, considering all available information at the date of review. Due to the uncertainty inherent in these factors, we cannot predict when or if additional future impairment charges will be recorded. We estimated future net cash flows generated from our oil and natural gas properties by using oil and natural gas futures prices published by the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”).

We determined during the first quarter of 2012 that the carrying amount of certain of our non-core oil and natural gas properties were not recoverable from future cash flows due to declining natural gas prices and, therefore, we recorded an impairment of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These impairment charges reduced the fields’ carrying value to an estimated fair value of $0.9 million. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2012 or September 30, 2012.

Depreciation—Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used to compute unit rates for unamortized tangible and intangible development costs, and proved reserves are used for unamortized leasehold costs.

Gains and losses on disposals or retirements that are significant or include an entire depreciable or depletable property unit are included in operating income. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Transportation Obligation—We entered into a gas gathering agreement with an independent service provider, effective July 27, 2010. The agreement is scheduled to remain in effect for a period of ten years and requires the service provider to construct pipelines and facilities to connect our wells to the service provider’s gathering system in our Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas. In

compensation for the services, we agreed to pay the service provider 110 percent of the total capital cost incurred by the service provider to construct new pipelines and facilities. The service provider bills us for 20 percent of the accumulated unpaid capital costs annually.

We account for the agreement by recording a long-term asset, included in “Deferred financing cost and other” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The asset is amortized using the units-of-production method and the amortization expense is included in “Transportation and processing” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related current and long-term liabilities are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accrued liabilities” and “Transportation obligation,” respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations—We follow the accounting standard related to accounting for asset retirement obligations. These obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized using the entitlements method. We record a liability or an asset for natural gas balancing when we have sold more or less than our working interest share of natural gas production, respectively. At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. Differences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted.

Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, options, collars and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and to hedge our exposure to changing interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.

Income Taxes—We account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Earnings Per Share—Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock calculated using the Treasury Stock method and the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of shares associated with our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029.

Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability.

Share-Based Compensation—We account for our share-based transactions using fair value and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with various assumptions based on our estimates. Our assumptions include expected volatility, expected term of option, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Expected volatility estimates are developed by us based on historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date. Our common stock does not pay dividends, so the dividend yield is zero. The fair value of restricted stock is measured using the close of the day stock price on the day of the award.

Guarantee—On March 2, 2011, we issued and sold $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C.

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, as the parent company (the “Parent Company”), has no independent assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Parent Company has no other subsidiaries. In addition, there are no restrictions on the ability of the Parent Company to obtain funds from its subsidiary by dividend or loan. Finally, the Parent Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary does not have restricted assets that exceed 25% of net assets as of the most recent fiscal year end that may not be transferred to the Parent Company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiary without the consent of a third party.

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” - In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued additional guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requirements for measurement of and disclosures about fair value. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on companies applying US GAAP. Principal provisions of the amendments include: (i) application of the ‘highest and best use’ is relevant only when measuring fair value for non-financial assets and liabilities; (ii) a prohibition on grouping financial instruments for purposes of determining fair value, except when an entity manages market and credit risks on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to the group; (iii) an extension of the prohibition against the use of a blockage factor to all fair value measurements (that prohibition currently applies only to financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets); (iv) guidance that fair value measurement of equity instruments should be made from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset; and (v) a requirement that for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, entities disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation process used and qualitative details about the sensitivity of the measurements. In addition, for Balance Sheet items not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed, entities will be required to disclose the Level within the fair value hierarchy that applies to the fair value measurement disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s fair value measurements, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income”- In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to eliminate the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” - In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and IFRS requirements for offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities presented in the statements of financial position. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The disclosure affects all entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or subject to a master netting arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required by this ASU retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(1) The carrying amount for the Senior Credit Facility represents fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions and the carrying amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 represents fair value because the last transacted activity was at par; otherwise, fair value was obtained by direct market quotes within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon an original five year term through October 1, 2014. The debt discount was $23.0 million and $30.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Derivative Activities [Abstract]

Derivative Activities

NOTE 7—Derivative Activities

We use commodity and financial derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. We are currently not designating our derivative contracts for hedge accounting. All gains and losses both realized and unrealized from our derivative contracts have been recognized in other income (expense) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes the realized and unrealized gains and losses we recognized on our oil and natural gas derivatives for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,

Realized gain on oil and natural gas derivatives	$	18,806		$	8,290	$	56,027		$	21,402
Unrealized gain (loss) on oil and natural gas derivatives		(24,943	)		18,163		(28,696	)		5,995
Total gain (loss) on oil and natural gas derivatives	$	(6,137	)	$	26,453	$	27,331		$	27,397

Commodity Derivative Activity

We enter into swap contracts, costless collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage commodity price risk for a portion of our production. Our strategy, which is administered by the Hedging Committee of our Board of Directors, and reviewed periodically by the entire Board of Directors, has been to generally hedge between 30% and 70% of our estimated total production for the period the derivatives are in effect. As of September 30, 2012, the commodity derivatives we used were in the form of:

(a) collars, where we receive the excess, if any, of the floor price over the reference price, based on NYMEX quoted prices, and pay the excess, if any, of the reference price over the ceiling price;

(b) swaps, where we receive a fixed price and pay a floating price, based on NYMEX or specific transfer point quoted prices; and

(c) swaptions, where we grant the counter party the right but not the obligation to enter into an underlying swap by a specific date at a specific strike price.

Despite the measures taken by us to attempt to control price risk, we remain subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and crude oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond our control. Domestic crude oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis. We routinely exercise our contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses when settling with our financial counterparties. As of September 30, 2012, our open forward positions on our outstanding commodity derivative contracts, all of which were with BNP Paribas, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc., were as follows:

Contract Type	Daily Volume		Total Volume		Average Floor/Cap		Fair Value at September 30, 2012 (in thousands)

						Total	$	10,370

(1) Swap is only for the month of January.

During the third quarter of 2012, we entered into the following new derivative contracts.

Contract Type	Daily Volume		Strike Price		Contract Start Date		Contract Termination
Oil swap (BBL)		500	$	92.50		August 1, 2012		December 31, 2013
Oil swap (BBL)		500	$	95.85		January 1, 2013		December 31, 2013

The following table summarizes the fair values of our derivative financial instruments that are recorded at fair value classified in each level as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands). We measure the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts by applying the income approach. See Note 1 “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Fair Value Measurement” for our discussion for inputs used and valuation techniques for determining fair values.

Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2012

Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, certain information normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates—Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposit accounts and temporary cash investments with maturities of ninety days or less at date of purchase.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—We routinely assess the recoverability of all material trade and other receivables to determine their collectability. Many of our receivables are from a limited number of purchasers. Accordingly, accounts receivable from such purchases could be significant. Generally, our oil and natural gas receivables are collected within thirty to sixty days of production. We also have receivables from joint interest owners of properties we operate. We may have the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings.

We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based on the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of the reserve may be reasonably estimated. As of each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.

Inventory

Inventory—Inventory consists of casing and tubulars that are expected to be used in our drilling program and oil in storage tanks. Inventory is carried on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or market.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment—We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for exploration and development expenditures. Under this method, costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreage are capitalized. When proved reserves are found on an unproved property, the associated leasehold cost is transferred to proved properties. Significant unproved leases are reviewed periodically, and a valuation allowance is provided for any estimated decline in value. Costs of all other unproved leases are amortized over the estimated average holding period of the leases. Development costs are capitalized, including the costs of unsuccessful development wells.

Exploration

Exploration—Exploration expenditures, including geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and exploratory dry hole costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of drilling exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves can be attributed to the discovery. If management determines that commercial quantities of hydrocarbons have not been discovered, capitalized costs associated with exploratory wells are expensed.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three levels (levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between levels.

Each of these levels and our corresponding instruments classified by level are further described below:

• Level 1 Inputs—unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Included in this level is our Senior Notes;

• Level 2 Inputs—quotes which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our Senior Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and

• Level 3 Inputs—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on the Company’s various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this level are our oil and natural gas properties which are deemed impaired.

At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Impairment

Impairment—We periodically assess our long-lived assets recorded in oil and natural gas properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to ensure that they are not carried in excess of fair value, which is computed using Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on estimated future commodity prices and our various operational assumptions. An evaluation is performed on a field-by-field basis at least annually or whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that our oil and natural gas properties may be impaired.

As of September 30, 2012, we have interests in oil and natural gas properties totaling $756.5 million, net of accumulated depletion, which we account for under the successful efforts method. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair-value calculations are based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, prices, and costs, considering all available information at the date of review. Due to the uncertainty inherent in these factors, we cannot predict when or if additional future impairment charges will be recorded. We estimated future net cash flows generated from our oil and natural gas properties by using oil and natural gas futures prices published by the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”).

We determined during the first quarter of 2012 that the carrying amount of certain of our non-core oil and natural gas properties were not recoverable from future cash flows due to declining natural gas prices and, therefore, we recorded an impairment of $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. These impairment charges reduced the fields’ carrying value to an estimated fair value of $0.9 million. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2012 or September 30, 2012.

Depreciation

Depreciation—Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used to compute unit rates for unamortized tangible and intangible development costs, and proved reserves are used for unamortized leasehold costs.

Gains and losses on disposals or retirements that are significant or include an entire depreciable or depletable property unit are included in operating income. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Transportation Obligation

Transportation Obligation—We entered into a gas gathering agreement with an independent service provider, effective July 27, 2010. The agreement is scheduled to remain in effect for a period of ten years and requires the service provider to construct pipelines and facilities to connect our wells to the service provider’s gathering system in our Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas. In

compensation for the services, we agreed to pay the service provider 110 percent of the total capital cost incurred by the service provider to construct new pipelines and facilities. The service provider bills us for 20 percent of the accumulated unpaid capital costs annually.

We account for the agreement by recording a long-term asset, included in “Deferred financing cost and other” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The asset is amortized using the units-of-production method and the amortization expense is included in “Transportation and processing” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related current and long-term liabilities are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Accrued liabilities” and “Transportation obligation,” respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations—We follow the accounting standard related to accounting for asset retirement obligations. These obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the acquisition, construction and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized using the entitlements method. We record a liability or an asset for natural gas balancing when we have sold more or less than our working interest share of natural gas production, respectively. At each of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. Differences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, options, collars and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and to hedge our exposure to changing interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes—We account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share—Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the effects of potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock calculated using the Treasury Stock method and the potential dilutive effect of the conversion of shares associated with our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 and 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation—We account for our share-based transactions using fair value and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with various assumptions based on our estimates. Our assumptions include expected volatility, expected term of option, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Expected volatility estimates are developed by us based on historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the grant date. Our common stock does not pay dividends, so the dividend yield is zero. The fair value of restricted stock is measured using the close of the day stock price on the day of the award.

Guarantee

Guarantee—On March 2, 2011, we issued and sold $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C.

Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, as the parent company (the “Parent Company”), has no independent assets or operations. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Parent Company has no other subsidiaries. In addition, there are no restrictions on the ability of the Parent Company to obtain funds from its subsidiary by dividend or loan. Finally, the Parent Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary does not have restricted assets that exceed 25% of net assets as of the most recent fiscal year end that may not be transferred to the Parent Company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends by the subsidiary without the consent of a third party.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” - In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued additional guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) requirements for measurement of and disclosures about fair value. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on companies applying US GAAP. Principal provisions of the amendments include: (i) application of the ‘highest and best use’ is relevant only when measuring fair value for non-financial assets and liabilities; (ii) a prohibition on grouping financial instruments for purposes of determining fair value, except when an entity manages market and credit risks on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to the group; (iii) an extension of the prohibition against the use of a blockage factor to all fair value measurements (that prohibition currently applies only to financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets); (iv) guidance that fair value measurement of equity instruments should be made from the perspective of a market participant that holds that instrument as an asset; and (v) a requirement that for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, entities disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation process used and qualitative details about the sensitivity of the measurements. In addition, for Balance Sheet items not carried at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed, entities will be required to disclose the Level within the fair value hierarchy that applies to the fair value measurement disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s fair value measurements, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income”- In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to eliminate the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” - In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to result in convergence between US GAAP and IFRS requirements for offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities presented in the statements of financial position. The guidance requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The disclosure affects all entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance sheet in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or subject to a master netting arrangement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the balance sheet. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. Entities should provide the disclosures required by this ASU retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Income Taxes

NOTE 5—Income Taxes

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. We increased our valuation allowance and reduced our net deferred tax assets to zero during 2009 after considering all available positive and negative evidence related to the realization of our deferred tax assets. Our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and, as a result, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred assets as of September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we have no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no significant changes to the calculation since December 31, 2011.
