1. | General |
|
Basis of Presentation |
||
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were prepared by Teton
Energy Corporation (Teton or the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included
in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted as
allowed by such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements include all of
the adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature only. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. |
||
Certain amounts in the 2007 financial statements were reclassified to conform to the 2008
unaudited consolidated financial statement presentation, including, but not limited to,
presenting revenues on a gross basis before gathering and transportation expenses which are now
included in transportation expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. |
||
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Companys
consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 (the 2007 Form 10-K), and are supplemented throughout the notes to this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q. |
||
The interim consolidated financial statements presented should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the 2007
Form 10-K filed with the SEC. |
||
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements |
||
On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
No. 157) related to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily affect the valuation of
our derivative contracts (see Note 4). In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other
Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which removes certain leasing transactions
from the scope of SFAS No. 157, and FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
which defers the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis. Beginning January 1, 2009, we will adopt the
provisions for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are not required or
permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of FAS 157 did not
have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We are still in the
process of evaluating this standard with respect to its effect on nonfinancial assets and
liabilities and have not yet determined the impact that it will have on our financial statements
upon full adoption in 2009. |
||
On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provision of SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159) which permits an entity to measure
certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, entities
that elect the fair value option (by instrument) will report unrealized gains and losses in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option election is irrevocable,
unless a new election date occurs. SFAS No. 159 establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the entitys election on
its earnings, but does not eliminate disclosure requirements of other accounting standards.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value must be displayed on the face of the
balance sheet. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on our financial
condition or results of operations as we did not make any such elections under this fair value
option. |
||
New accounting pronouncements |
||
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
No. 141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS No. 141R will change how business
acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date
and in subsequent periods. SFAS No. 141R requires the acquiring Company to measure almost all
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition at fair value as of the acquisition
date. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008
(fiscal 2009 for the
Company) and should be applied prospectively with the exception of income taxes which should be
applied retrospectively for all business combinations. Early adoption is prohibited. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this pronouncement. |
5
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities, (SFAS No. 161), an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about (a) how
and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. This Statement will be effective for the Companys interim and
annual financial statements beginning in fiscal year 2010. This Statement encourages, but does
not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is in
the process of evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this pronouncement. |
||
2. | Earnings per share of common stock |
|
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of basic common shares outstanding during each period. The shares represented by
vested restricted stock and vested performance share units under the Companys 2005 Long Term
Incentive Plan (see Note 8) are considered issued and outstanding at March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and are included in the calculation of the weighted average basic common shares
outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that would
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into
common stock. |
||
The following is the calculation of basic and fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding
and earnings per share of common stock for the periods indicated: |

3. | Oil and Gas Properties |
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets |
||
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. If upon review the sum
of the estimated undiscounted pretax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset
group, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. |
6
Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level for which there are
identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of
assets, generally on a field-by-field basis. The fair value of impaired assets is determined
based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or upon the present values of
expected future cash flows using discount rates commensurate with the risks involved in the
asset group. The long-lived assets of the Company, which are subject to periodic evaluation,
consist primarily of oil and gas properties including undeveloped leaseholds. The Company has
not incurred any impairment expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007. |
||
Subsequent Event |
||
On April 2, 2008, the Company completed the purchase of reserves, production and certain oil and
gas properties in the Central Kansas Uplift of Kansas from Shelby Resources, LLC, a private oil
and gas company and a group of approximately 14 other working interest owners, collectively
(Sellers) for approximately $53.4 million before closing adjustments. Terms also include
warrant coverage of 625,000 shares at a $6.00 strike price with a two-year term. The effective
date of the transaction is March 1, 2008. |
||
The purchase price was funded with $40.1 million of cash and borrowing capacity available under
Tetons revolving credit facility with JPMorgan and $13.3 million of Teton common stock, or
2,746,124 common shares. Effective April 2, 2008, Teton amended its bank credit facility with
JPMorgan, increasing the total facility from $50 million to $150 million. The available
borrowing base under Tetons bank credit facility was increased from $10 million to $50 million
as a result of the combination of the added reserves from this transaction, ongoing drilling
programs and new hedging positions. The Company has hedged 80 percent of the oil proved
developed producing (PDP) production and 80 percent of the natural gas PDP production related
to this transaction for five years through a series of costless collars in order to lock in base
case economics associated with the acquisition (see Note 10). |
||
Suspended Well Costs |
||
The company had no exploratory well costs that had been suspended for a period of one year or
more as of March 31, 2008 or 2007. |
||
Asset Retirement Obligations |
||
The Companys asset retirement obligations represent the estimated future costs associated with
the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas wells and removal of related equipment and
facilities, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. The following table provides
a reconciliation of the Companys asset retirement obligations: |

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
||
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value measurements,
for all financial instruments. The valuation techniques required by SFAS No. 157 are based upon
observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent resources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The standard
established the following fair value hierarchy: |
||
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
||
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived
valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable. |
7
Level 3 Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. |
||
The following describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure financial instruments at
fair value. |
||
Debt and Equity Securities |
||
The recorded value of the Companys long-term debt approximates its fair value as it bears
interest at a floating rate. The Companys 8% senior subordinated convertible notes
(Convertible Notes) are recorded at amortized cost as discussed in Note 5 below. |
||
Derivative Instruments |
||
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate exposures to oil and gas
production cash-flow risks caused by fluctuating commodity prices. All derivatives are
initially, and subsequently, measured at estimated fair value and recorded as liabilities or
assets on the balance sheet. For oil and gas derivative contracts that do not qualify as cash
flow hedges, changes in the estimated fair value of the contracts are recorded as unrealized
gains and losses under the other income and expense caption in the consolidated statement of
operations. When oil and gas derivative contracts are settled, the Company recognizes realized
gains and losses under the other income and expense caption in its consolidated statement of
operations. At March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any derivative contracts that qualify
as cash flow hedges. |
||
Included in the Companys derivative contracts in place at March 31, 2008 are fixed rate swap
arrangements for the sale of oil and natural gas which are valued using Level 1 exchange traded
prices. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent hedge
contracts, valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique, in place through 2013 for
a total of approximately 566,189 Bbls of oil production and 2,525,995 MMbtu of natural gas
production. |
||
The Company also uses various types of financing arrangements to fund its business capital
requirements, including convertible debt and other financial instruments indexed to the market
price of the Companys common stock. We evaluate these contracts to determine whether
derivative features embedded in host contracts require bifurcation and fair value measurement
or, in the case of free-standing derivatives (principally warrants) whether certain conditions
for equity classification have been achieved. In instances where derivative financial
instruments require liability classification, the Company initially and subsequently measures
such instruments at estimated fair value using Level 2 inputs. Accordingly, the Company adjusts
the estimated fair value of these derivative components at each reporting period through a
charge to earnings until such time as the instruments are exercised, expire or are permitted to
be classified in stockholders equity. |
||
As of March 31, 2008, the fair value of financing warrants included as a component of current
liabilities consisted of warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock
that do not achieve all of the requisite conditions for equity classification. These
free-standing derivative financial instruments arose in connection with the Companys financing
transaction in May 2007 which consisted of the $9.0 million Convertible Notes and warrants to
purchase 3,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a $5.00 strike price for a period of
five years (the Warrants) as more fully discussed in Note 5. |

5. | 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes |
|
On May 16, 2007, the Company closed on a financing consisting of $9.0 million face value of 8%
Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due May 16, 2008, which included Warrants to purchase
3,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a $5.00 strike price for a period of five
years. The Warrants include a cashless exercise feature. Net proceeds from the sale of the
Convertible Notes and Warrants amounted to $8.3 million after fees and expenses. The Convertible
Notes bear interest at 8% per annum which is payable on a quarterly basis on July 1, October 1,
January 1, and April 1, beginning July 1, 2007, either in cash or common stock at the Companys
option. The Convertible Notes were initially convertible into common stock at a conversion price
of $5.00 per share subject to adjustment at maturity to a then market-indexed rate. The
conversion feature also provided full-ratchet anti-dilution protection in the event of sales of
shares or other share-indexed instruments below the conversion price. The Convertible Notes are
unsecured but provide for penalties in the event of default. In addition, on May 18, 2007, the
Company issued to the placement agent for this offering warrants to purchase 360,000 shares of
the Companys common stock at a $5.00 strike price with a term of five years. |
||
On June 28, 2007, the Company amended the Convertible Notes with the holders to, among other
things, change the conversion terms at maturity from a variable conversion price to a fixed
$5.00 conversion price as the floor at maturity and to modify the anti-dilution protections to
fix the $5.00 price as the floor. While the amendment did not give rise to an extinguishment of
the original Convertible Notes, the Company concluded that the Convertible Notes met the
Conventional Convertible Debt Exemption criteria which provides for classification of the
compound embedded derivative in stockholders equity. In addition, the removal of the variable
conversion price resulted in reclassification of the placement agents warrants and certain
other warrants to stockholders equity. The Warrants continue to require classification as
derivative contract liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the
amendment, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes is convertible into 1.8 million shares
of the Companys common stock. |
||
Accounting for the reclassifications in accordance with EITF 06-7 resulted in the Company
adjusting the compound embedded derivative, warrants issued to placement agents and certain
other warrants to estimated fair value on the amendment date and reclassifying the adjusted
balances to stockholders equity without any adjustment to the carrying value or amortization of
the host debt instrument. |
||
The $9.0 million debt component of the Convertible Notes was initially recorded net of debt
issuance discount of $9.0 million. The debt issuance discount is being amortized to interest
expense over the one year life of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest method. The
Company recorded $3.5 million of debt issuance discount amortization during the three months
ended March 31, 2008. The remaining debt issuance discount of $3.8 million will be amortized to
interest expense during the second quarter of 2008. |
||
Deferred debt issuance costs of $740 associated with the Convertible Notes are included in
current assets as of March 31, 2008 and will be amortized to interest expense using the
effective interest method during the second quarter of 2008. The Company recorded $679 of

6. | Senior Bank Facility |
|
On June 15, 2006, the Company entered into a $50.0 million senior revolving credit facility (the
Credit Facility) with BNP Paribas. The original maturity date of the Credit Facility was
June 15, 2010. The Credit Facility had an initial borrowing base of $3.0 million. The borrowing
base was increased to $6.0 million on March 12, 2007, and further increased to $10.0 million on
July 19, 2007. |
||
On August 9, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated $50.0 million revolving
credit facility with JPMorgan Chase, as administrative agent. JPMorgan Chase assumed the
Companys previous Credit Facility with BNP Paribas. The amended Credit Facility originally was
scheduled to mature on August 9, 2011. On April 2, 2008, the Company again amended its Credit
Facility (the Amended Credit Facility) to a $150 million revolving credit facility ($50
million borrowing base). There will be a re-determination of the borrowing base and conforming
borrowing base on August 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008. |
||
Under the Amended Credit Facility, each loan bears interest at a Eurodollar rate (London
Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR) plus applicable margins of 1.25% to 3.0% or a base rate (the
higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%) plus applicable margins of 0% to
1.5%, as requested by the Company. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee of
0.375% or 0.5% per annum, based on the daily average unused amount of the commitment. Loans made
under the Amended Credit Facility are secured primarily by a first mortgage against the
Companys oil and gas assets and by a pledge of the Companys equity interests in its
subsidiaries and a guaranty by its subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary
affirmative and negative covenants such as minimum/maximum ratios for liquidity and leverage. |
||
On February 11, 2008, the Company repaid the entire $8.0 million balance outstanding under the
Credit Facility. The balance outstanding on March 31, 2008 was $0. For the three months ended
March 31, 2008, interest expense with respect to the above credit lines totaled $247 and
capitalized interest totaled $77. |

Subsequent Event |
||
On April 2, 2008, in conjunction with the purchase of production, reserves and certain oil and
gas producing properties in the Central Kansas Uplift, the Company issued 625,000 Warrants to
acquire shares of Teton Common Stock. Each Warrant is exercisable on or after July 2, 2008 at
an exercise price of $6.00 per share, and expires on April 1, 2010. The Company evaluated these
instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 and determined, based on the facts
and circumstances, that these instruments qualify for classification in stockholders equity. |

8. | Stock-Based Compensation |
|
During 2008, 2,777,500 performance share units were granted to Participants, pursuant to the
2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) by the Compensation Committee (the 2008 Grants). The
2008 Grants vest in three tranches, provided the goals set forth by the Compensation Committee
are met. The performance measure under this Award is based on increases in the Companys net
asset value per share. The grants vest at 20%, 30% and 50% when the net asset value per share
of the Company increases by 40%, 100% and 200%, respectively, from a base level set by the
Compensation Committee as of December 31, 2007. An additional 207,250 shares of restricted
common stock, granted pursuant to the Companys LTIP, were awarded during the three months ended
March 31, 2008. These shares vest over three years based solely on service. |
||
Compensation expense is recorded at fair value based on the market price of the Companys common
stock at the date of grant and is recognized over the related service period. During the three
months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded $1.6 million, as a component of general and
administrative expense, for stock-based compensation expense applicable to the vesting of LTIP
performance-vesting and restricted stock grants. The Company expects to recognize approximately
an additional $7.0 million during the twelve months ending December 31, 2008 related to the LTIP
performance-vesting and restricted stock grants outstanding at March 31, 2008. |
||
9. | Income Taxes |
|
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the current and deferred provision
for income taxes was $0. |
||
At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), for federal
income tax purposes, of approximately $32.5 million. These NOLs, if not utilized to reduce
taxable income in future periods, will expire in various amounts from 2018 through 2027.
Approximately $5.8 million of such NOLs is subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 382
limitations. As a result of these limitations, utilization of this portion of the NOLs is
limited to approximately $3.6 million and $2.2 million for the years ending December 31, 2008
and 2009, respectively plus any loss attributable to any built-in gain on assets sold within
five years of the ownership change. |
||
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which requires that the
Company recognize in its consolidated financial statements only those tax positions that are
more-likely-than-not of being sustained as of the adoption date, based on the technical merits
of the position. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company performed a
comprehensive review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and
measurement standards established by FIN 48. We have no accrued interest or penalties related
to uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2008. |
||
10. | Commitments and Contingencies |

To mitigate a portion of the potential exposure to adverse market changes in the prices of oil
and natural gas, the Company has entered into various derivative contracts. Our outstanding
