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 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 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 SFAS No. 157 did
not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company does
not believe that the implementation of this standard, with respect to its effect on nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations. |
|
|
|
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. |

|
|
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. |
|
|
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and
the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements
presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) amendments to AU Section
411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The Company does not believe that the implementation of this standard will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
|
|
|
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That
May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement, (FSP APB 14-1).
FSP APB 14-1 addresses the accounting for convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may
be settled by the issuer either fully or partially in cash. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2009 for the Company) and should be
applied retrospectively to all past period presented. Early adoption is prohibited. The
Company is in the process of evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this FSP. |
|
|
|
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force, EITF Issue No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock
(EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 addresses how an entity should evaluate whether an instrument is
indexed to its own stock. The consensus is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods)
beginning after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2009 for the Company). The consensus must be applied
to outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the consensus is
adopted and should be treated as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of
retained earnings. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this EITF. |

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 June 30, 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 contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. |

The above amounts are calculated using the treasury stock method, whereby a company uses the
proceeds from the exercise or purchase of shares to repurchase common stock at the average market
price during the period. This is the prescribed method used to calculate the dilutive shares in
a fully diluted earnings per share calculation. The maximum number of shares that could
potentially be included in the basic earnings per share calculation, if all shares above were
exercised, purchased or converted is 16,500,374 shares.

|
Acquisitions |
|
|
|
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, (Shelby) for
approximately $53.6 million, after post closing adjustments. Terms also included 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 $40.2 million of cash and borrowing capacity available under
Tetons revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase (see Note 6), $13.0 million of Teton common
stock, or 2,746,124 common shares and 625,000 warrants valued at $434. 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).
7
The purchase price was allocated using the purchase method of accounting with Teton treated as
the acquirer. Under this method of accounting, the assets and assumed liabilities of Shelby are
recorded by Teton at their estimated fair values as of the respective dates the acquisition was
deemed to have occurred.
The following table shows the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed from Shelby Resources on April 2, 2008.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is for illustrative purposes
only. The financial results may have been different had Teton and Shelby always been combined.
You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information as being
indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred
in the past or the future financial results that Teton will achieve after the acquisition.
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. 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 June 30, 2008 or 2007.
Suspended Well Costs
The Company had no exploratory well costs that had been suspended for a period of one year or
more as of June 30, 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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 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 the Companys 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.
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 Secured Convertible Notes (Convertible Notes) were
a negotiated instrument and are therefore recorded at fair value. The Company evaluated the
Convertible Notes and determined that there were no embedded features which would require
derivative accounting.
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 June 30, 2008, the Company did not have any derivative contracts that qualify as
cash flow hedges.
Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 include fixed rate swap arrangements for
the sale of oil and natural gas and hedge contracts, valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton
valuation technique, in place through 2013 for a total of approximately 531,790 Bbls of oil
production and 2,429,277 MMbtu of natural gas production. The Company previously included swap
agreements in Level 1, however, has determined that based on the nature of the agreements swaps
are more appropriately classified as Level 2.
9
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. The Company evaluates 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
earnings until such time as the instruments are exercised, expired or permitted to be classified
in stockholders equity.
As of June 30, 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 as more fully discussed in Note 5.
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 and
therefore are not reported as a liability or measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following table summarizes Tetons assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis at June 30, 2008.

Convertible Notes |
|
|
|
8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes |
|
|
|
On May 16, 2008, the Company repaid, to the extent not converted, its $9.0 million face value of
8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes that closed on May 16, 2007 (the Notes). $6.6
million was repaid in cash and $2.4 million was converted to 480,000 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $5.00 per share. |
The $9.0 million debt component of the Notes was initially recorded net of debt issuance
discount of $9.0 million. The debt issuance discount was amortized to interest expense over the
life of the Notes using the effective interest method. The Company recorded $3,845 and $7,370 of
debt issuance discount amortization during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively.
Additionally, the Company recorded $740 and $1,419 of amortization of deferred debt issuance
costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, related to the Notes.
The warrants to purchase 3,600,000 shares of the Companys common stock at a $5.00 strike price
for a period of five years issued in connection with the Notes include a cashless exercise
feature. 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. The Warrants continue to require classification as derivative
contract liabilities in the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures
On June 18, 2008, the Company closed the private placement of $40 million aggregate principal
amount of 10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures due on June 18, 2013 (the Debentures). The
Debentures are convertible by the holders at a conversion rate of $6.50 per share and contain a
two year no-call provision and a provisional call thereafter
if the price of the underlying common stock of the Company exceeds the conversion price by 50%,
or is $9.75, for any 20 trading days in a 30 trading-day period. If the holders convert into
common stock, or the Debentures are called by the Company before the three-year anniversary of
the original issuance date, the holders will be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the
present value of all interest that would have accrued if the principal amount had remained
outstanding through such three-year anniversary. The Debentures are secured by a second lien on
all assets in which the Companys senior lender maintains a lien.
The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 10.75% per year payable semiannually in arrears on
July 1 and January 1 of each year beginning with July 1, 2008. The holders each have a 90-day
put option, expiring September 18, 2008, whereby they may elect to reduce their investment in
the Debentures by a total of up to 25% of the face amount, or up to a total of $10 million. The
Company has classified the amount subject to the 90-day put option as short term debt on the
face of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any portion of the $10 million not called by the end of
the 90 day period will be reclassified to long-term debt and will be due on June 18, 2013.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures, after fees and related expenses (and
excluding the 90-day 25% put option) were approximately $28 million. These funds were used to
pay down the Companys outstanding indebtedness on its revolving credit facility (see Note 6).
At the end of the 90-day put period, if the holders do not elect to call the aggregate $10
million in Debentures, the Company will incur approximately $600,000 of additional debt issuance
fees related to the $10 million.
Deferred debt issuance costs of $2,256 associated with the Convertible Notes are included in
assets as of June 30, 2008 and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the
related Debenture. Additionally, the Company recorded $20 of amortization of deferred debt
issuance costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, related to the
Notes.

Senior Bank Facility |
|
|
|
On August 9, 2007, the Companys $50 million revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas (the
Credit Facility) was replaced by an amended and restated $50 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 on August 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008. |
In connection with the privately placed 10.75% Secured Convertible Debenture, the borrowing base
on the Companys $150 million revolving credit facility was reduced to $32.5 million, bringing
the Companys total available borrowings from $50 million to $70 million, including the $10
million related to the 90-day put option as discussed in Note 5 and an additional $2.5 million
reduction in the borrowing base that will occur should no holders exercise the put option. If
the put option is exercised, the Companys total available borrowings will be $62.5 million.
Under the Amended Credit Facility, at the option of the Company, 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%, determined on a sliding scale based on the percentage of total
borrowing base in use. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% to 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, by a pledge of the Companys equity interests in its subsidiaries and by a guaranty
by its subsidiaries. The Amended Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative
covenants such as minimum/maximum ratios for liquidity and leverage.
The Company borrowed on its Amended Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2008 to fund
the acquisition of certain oil and gas properties in the Central Kansas Uplift and to repay $6.6
million of the 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes. With the gross proceeds of the $30 million
privately placed 10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures which are not subject to the holders put
option (see Note 5 above), on June 18, 2008, the Company repaid approximately $28 million on its
credit facility.
The balance outstanding at June 30, 2008 was approximately $22 million. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, cash interest expense with respect to the above credit lines and the
Convertible Notes described in Note 5 totaled $687 and $1,042, respectively and capitalized
interest totaled $77 and $155, respectively.

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.

Stock-Based Compensation |
|
|
|
During 2008, 2,974,500 performance share units were granted to Participants, pursuant to the
2005 Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of
Directors (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 these Awards are
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 372,750 shares of restricted common stock, granted pursuant to the Companys LTIP,
were awarded during the six months ended June 30, 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
and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded
$3.6 million and $5.2 million for stock-based compensation expense applicable
to the vesting of LTIP performance-vesting (including the first tranche of the 2008 LTIP awards)
and restricted stock grants, respectively. The Company expects to recognize approximately an
additional $3.0 million during the twelve months ending December 31, 2008 related to the LTIP
performance-vesting and restricted stock grants outstanding at June 30, 2008.

Income Taxes |
|
|
|
For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 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. The Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to
uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2008.

15
Overview and Strategy
We are an independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the acquisition,
exploration and development of North American properties. The Companys current operations are
concentrated in the prolific Midcontinent and Rocky Mountain regions of the U.S. We have leasehold
interest in the Central Kansas Uplift, the Piceance Basin in western Colorado, the eastern
Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, the Williston Basin in North Dakota and
the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming.
Teton was formed in November 1996 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. Our common shares
are publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol TEC.
Our principal executive offices are located at 410 Seventeenth Street, Suite 1850, Denver, CO
80202, and our telephone number is (303) 565-4600. Our web site
is www.teton-energy.com.
Our objective is to increase stockholder value by pursuing our corporate strategy of:
|
|
|
economically growing reserves and production, by acquiring under-valued properties with
reasonable risk-reward potential and by participating in, or actively conducting, drilling
operations in order to further exploit our existing properties; |
|
|
|
seeking high-quality exploration and development projects with potential for providing
operated, long-term drilling inventories; and |
|
|
|
selectively pursuing strategic acquisitions that may expand or complement our existing
operations. |
The pursuit of our strategy includes the following key elements:
Pursue Attractive Reserve and Leasehold Acquisitions
To date, acquisitions have been critical in establishing our asset base. We believe that we are
well positioned, given our initial success in identifying and quickly closing on attractive
opportunities in the Central Kansas Uplift, Piceance, DJ, Williston and Big Horn Basins, to effect
opportunistic acquisitions that can provide upside potential, including long-term drilling
inventories and undeveloped leasehold positions with attractive return characteristics. Our focus
is to acquire assets that provide the opportunity for developmental drilling and/or the drilling of
extensional step-out wells, which we believe will provide us with significant upside potential
while not exposing us to the risks associated with drilling new field wildcat wells in frontier
basins.
Drive Growth through Drilling
We plan to supplement our long-term reserve and production growth through drilling operations. In
2007, we participated in the drilling of 41 gross wells in connection with our Piceance Basin
project where we have a 12.5% non-operated working interest and 81 gross wells in the DJ Basin
under the Noble Earning Agreement where we have a 25% non-operated working interest in the AMI. In
2008, we anticipate that we will participate in the drilling of approximately 52 gross wells in the
Berry Petroleum Company (Berry) operated properties in the Piceance Basin, in the drilling of
approximately 150 gross wells in the Noble-operated properties in the Teton Noble AMI, and in the
drilling of up to 4 gross wells in the Evertson-operated properties in the Williston Basin. During
2008, we also anticipate that we will drill up to 17 gross wells in the DJ Basin (Frenchman Creek,
South Frenchman Creek and Washco), up to 4 gross wells in the Big Horn Basin properties and up to
40 gross wells in the Central Kansas Uplift properties (see further discussion below).
Maximize Operational Control
It is strategically important to our future growth and maturation as an independent exploration and
production company to be able to serve as operator of our properties when possible in order to be
able to exert greater control over costs and timing in, and the manner of, our exploration,
development and production activities. In 2007, we acquired 499,904 gross acres (413,786 net) in
the DJ Basin Washco properties, including about 1.0 MMcfed of production, 111,872 gross acres
(109,688 net) in the DJ Basin South Frenchman Creek properties, 28,204 gross acres (11,689 net) in
the DJ Basin Frenchman Creek properties and 16,417 gross acres (15,132 net) in the Big Horn Basin
properties, all of which are properties operated by us. On April 2, 2008, we acquired an
additional 48,100 gross acres (31,650 net) in the Central Kansas Uplift, all of which is also
operated by us (see further discussion below). The Company currently has eight projects; five
operated by the Company and three operated by other companies.
16
Operate Efficiently and Effectively, and Maximize Economies of Scale Where Practical
Our objective is to generate profitable growth and high returns for our stockholders, and we expect
that our unit cost structure will benefit from economies of scale as we grow and from our
continuing cost management initiatives. As we manage our growth, we are actively focusing on
reducing lease operating expenses and finding and development costs. In addition, our acquisition
efforts are geared toward pursuing opportunities that fit well within existing operations, in areas
where we are establishing new operations or in areas where we believe that a base of existing
production will produce an adequate foundation for economies of scale.
Pursuit of Selective Complementary Acquisitions
We seek to acquire long-lived producing properties with a high degree of operating control, or oil
and gas concerns that enjoy good business reputations and that offer economical opportunities to
increase our natural gas and crude oil reserves.
As an example of this strategy, on April 2, 2008, we 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 (the Sellers) for approximately $53.6 million. 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 was March 1, 2008.
The purchase price was funded with $40.2 million of cash, $13.0 million of Teton common stock, or
2,746,124 common shares and 625,000 warrants valued at $434. Effective April 2, 2008, we amended
our bank credit facility with JPMorgan, increasing the total facility from $50 million to $150
million (the Amended Credit Facility). The available borrowing base under the Amended Credit
Facility was increased from $10 million to $50 million ($32.5 million at June 30, 2008 as discussed
in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements) as a result of the combination of
the added reserves from this transaction, ongoing drilling programs and new hedging positions. We
have 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.
Following are summary comments of our performance in several key areas during the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2008:
Net income (loss)
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, our net loss increased from $7,245 (or
$0.45 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $30,028 (or $1.40 per share) for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and from $9,046 (or $0.57 per share) for the six months ended June
30, 2007 to $38,251 (or $1.95 per share) for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increases in
net loss of $22,783 for the three month period and $29,205 for the six month period are due largely
to an increase in the unrealized loss on oil and gas derivative contracts, a non-cash item required
by SFAS No. 133, of $22,141 and $23,281, respectively; an increase in realized loss on oil and gas
derivative contracts of $1,916 and $2,192, respectively; an increase in general and administrative
expenses of $2,576 and $4,515, respectively (largely due to an increase in non-cash compensation of
$2,558 and $3,443, respectively); and an increase in non-cash interest expense related to the
amortization of deferred debt discount and issuance costs of $4,391
and $8,595, respectively; and
less significantly to an increase in lease operating and related production expenses (due primarily
to increased production and production in new locations with heavy oil productions and resultant
per unit LOE that is slightly higher). These increases were somewhat offset by an increase in oil
and gas revenues, from $990 to $10,121 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and from $2,188
to $13,761 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Production
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, average company-wide daily production
increased 156% to 7,520 Mcfed, and increased 135% to 6,080 Mcfed, respectively, as compared to
average daily production of 2,942 Mcfed and 2,591 Mcfed, respectively, during the same prior year
periods. The fluctuations in production by major operating area are discussed below.
Central Kansas Uplift. On April 2, 2008, we completed the purchase of reserves, production and
certain oil and gas properties in the Central Kansas Uplift, and the Company began recognizing its
share of production from the 50 producing wells at that time. Average daily production, net to the
Company, from the 50 wells in the area was 3,527 Mcfed for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The second quarter 2008 was the first production from the Central Kansas properties. We closed on
April 2 and physically took over operations at the end of April. We intend to drill up to an
additional 40 gross wells in the Central Kansas Uplift in 2008 (see additional discussion under
Results of Operations below).
17
Piceance. Average daily production, net to the Company, in the area decreased to 2,707 Mcfed and
increased to 2,801 Mcfed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, compared
to 2,817 Mcfed and 2,502 Mcfed for the same prior year periods. The increase during the six month
period ended June 30, 2008 is due primarily to an increase in producing well count, offset slightly
by the normal production decline of existing wells and more so by the fact that we sold half of our
25% working interest in the Piceance Basin non-operated properties for $36.7 million in cash,
including purchase price adjustments, and oil and gas properties and related production valued at
$4.7 million in the fourth quarter 2007. Twelve new wells came on-line during the first half of
2008, bringing the total producing well count to 65 wells, with 23 additional wells waiting on
completion as of June 30, 2008. Berry has informed us that they expect to complete the 23 wells by
the end of September and intend to drill a total of 52 wells, approximately 6.5 net to our
interest, in 2008.
Teton Noble AMI. As of June 30, 2008, there were 94 gross producing non-operated wells in the DJ
Noble area of the DJ Basin with an additional 19 waiting on completion. This producing well count
is compared to 18 producing wells at June 30, 2007. Production, net to the Company, increased to
495 Mcfed and 549 Mcfed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, from 70
Mcfed and 48 Mcfed for the same prior year periods. Noble commenced its 2008 drilling program on
March 23, 2008, and we have been informed by the operator that it intends to drill approximately
150 gross wells, approximately 41 net to our interest, during 2008.
Washco. As of June 30, 2008, there were 27 gross producing wells in the Washco area of the DJ
Basin, operated by the Company, that produced an average of 774 Mcfed and 904 Mcfed, net to the
Company, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company recognized
its first production in the area during the fourth quarter of 2007.
Williston. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, production, net to the Company, in
the area averaged 16 Mcfed and 63 Mcfed, respectively, as compared to 6 Mcfed and 7 Mcfed during
the same prior year periods. Teton holds an interest in five producing wells in the Williston
Basin, and has one well in process of workover and one drilling. There are three additional wells
approved which are waiting on equipment and/or permits to begin drilling.
Oil and Gas Sales
Oil and gas sales increased from $990 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $10,121 for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and from $2,188 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $13,761
for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in total revenue is due to both increased
production volumes, as discussed above by operating area, and an increase in the average price per
Mcfe. The average price per Mcfe increased $10.31 per Mcfe, from
$4.48 to $14.79 per Mcfe and $7.77
per Mcfe from $4.67 to $12.44 per Mcfe for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. The increases in price per Mcfe is largely
impacted by an increase in oil volumes as a percentage of total volumes, as well as higher average
spot prices, for both oil and natural gas in 2008 compared to 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by debt and equity offerings
and borrowings under our bank credit facility. In the past, these sources have been sufficient to
meet the needs of the business. As a result of our development drilling program in 2007, the
continued development drilling in 2008 and the additional producing well count added from the April
2, 2008 acquisition in the Central Kansas Uplift, we expect that cash flow from operating
activities will begin to contribute more significantly to our cash requirements for the remainder
of 2008 and thereafter. We believe that cash on hand and amounts available under our $150 million
credit facility ($32.5 million borrowing base at June 30, 2008), together with anticipated net cash
provided by operating activities during 2008, will provide us with sufficient funds to develop new
reserves, maintain our current facilities and complete our current capital expenditure program
through 2008. Depending on the timing and amount of future projects, we may be required to seek
additional sources of capital. While we believe that we would be able to secure additional
financing if required, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so or as to the terms
of any additional financing.
We may also receive proceeds from the exercise of outstanding warrants and/or options as we did
during previous years. At June 30, 2008 warrants to purchase 5,232,651 shares of common stock were
outstanding. These warrants have a weighted average exercise price of $5.13 per share and expire
between October 2008 and December 2012. At June 30, 2008, options to purchase 1,415,844 shares of
common stock were outstanding. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $3.55 per
share and expire between April 2013 and May 2015. During the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, we received proceeds of approximately $927 and $1,905, respectively, from the exercise of
warrants.
18
Credit Facility
On August 9, 2007, the $50 million revolving credit facility with BNP Paribas (the Credit
Facility) was replaced by an amended and restated Credit Facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.
The Amended Credit Facility had an initial borrowing capacity of $50 million, and was amended on
April 2, 2008 to a $150 million revolving credit facility ($50 million borrowing base) as a result
of adding the additional reserves related to the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift
properties previously discussed.
In connection with the privately placed 10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures, the borrowing base
on the Companys $150 million Amended Credit Facility was reduced to $32.5 million, which, when
combined with the $30 million convertible debenture (assuming the put option is exercised by the
holders of the convertible debentures as discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements), brought our total available borrowing capacity from the prior borrowing base
of $50 million to a combined $62.5 million. Including the $10 million related to the 90-day put
option would result in a further reduction of the borrowing base to $30 million, for a total
borrowing capacity of $70 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had negative working capital of $15,708, due
primarily to cash expenditures for our share of drilling and completion expenses in the
non-operated properties of the Piceance Basin and our operated properties in the DJ Basin and the
Central Kansas Uplift, the Central Kansas Uplift acquisition, and the increase in the balance sheet
amount related to the unrealized loss on oil and gas derivatives. Additionally, in accordance with
SFAS 133, we have taken a $23.5 million charge to income for unrealized losses on oil and gas
derivative contracts, resulting in a significant increase to our accumulated deficit at June 30,
2008. The accumulated deficit is a component of stockholders equity and is reflected in that line
above. The lower stockholders equity, in turn, results in a much inflated total debt to equity
ratio, as noted above. If the oil and gas commodity prices used to value the unrealized gains
(losses) on the related derivative contracts continue to increase from their June 30, 2008 levels,
this effect will increase. However, if those commodity prices decrease from their June 30, 2008
levels, this effect will decrease.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,100 as
compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,618 during the same prior year period. Our
net loss increased by $29,205 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same
prior year period. This increase in net loss included several large non-cash items: an increase in
the unrealized loss related to oil and gas derivatives of $23,281, an increase in non-cash charges
related to depreciation, depletion and amortization of $4,149, an increase in the amortization of
deferred debt discount and issuance costs of $8,589 and an increase in non-cash compensation of
$2,337. These increases in amounts added back to net income to arrive at operating cash flow were
slightly offset by a decrease in the net change of current assets and current liabilities of $488
and a change in the non-cash item related to the derivative contracts (warrants) of $5,505.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $59,655 as
compared to $14,942 in the same prior year period. Cash expenditures during the six month period
ended June 30, 2008 relate largely to the acquisition of producing properties and undeveloped
acreage in the Central Kansas Uplift (as previously discussed), as well as development of our
non-operated properties in the Piceance Basin and the Teton-Noble AMI, and of our operated
properties in the DJ Basin and Central Kansas Uplift. Amounts were funded primarily from
borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility and cash on hand.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $46,916 as
compared to $16,275 in the same prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we
repaid the $8.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2007 under our Amended Credit Facility and
repaid $6.6 million of the $9.0 million in Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the remaining $2.4
million converted into common stock prior to maturity). Net borrowings on our Amended Credit
Facility were approximately $22 million and the Company raised $40 million related to the privately
placed 10.75% Secured Convertible Debentures.
Our revised capital budget for 2008 of up to $49.2 million includes planned drilling in the Central
Kansas Uplift, the Piceance, DJ, Williston and Big Horn Basins. Of
that amount approximately $16.0
million has been accrued or expended in the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily for our share
of drilling and completion expenses in the non-operated properties of the Piceance and DJ Basins.
Our planned 2008 development and exploration expenses could also increase if any of the operations
associated with our properties experience cost overruns.
Contractual Obligations
We have a Company hedging policy in place, to protect a portion of our production against future
pricing fluctuations. Our outstanding hedges as of June 30, 2008 are summarized below:

The costless collar hedges shown above have the effect of providing a protective floor while
allowing us to share in upward pricing movements to a fixed point. Consequently, while these
hedges are designed to decrease our exposure to price decreases while allowing us to share in some
upside potential of price increases, they also have the effect of limiting the benefit of price
increases beyond the ceiling. For the natural gas contracts listed above, a $0.10 hypothetical
change in the CIGRM or NYMEX price above the ceiling price or below the floor price applied to the
notional amounts would cause a change in the unrealized gain or loss on hedging activities in 2008
of $243. For the oil contracts listed above, a $1.00 hypothetical change in the WTI price above
the ceiling price or below the floor price applies to the notional amounts would cause a change in
the unrealized gain or loss on hedging activities in 2008 of $532. The Company plans to continue to
evaluate the possibility of entering into derivative contracts, as prices change and additional
volumes become available in the future, to decrease exposure to commodity price volatility.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or
financial partnerships. Such entities are often referred to as structured finance or special
purpose entities (SPEs) or variable interest entities (VIEs). SPEs and VIEs can be established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
limited purposes. We were not involved in any unconsolidated SPEs or VIEs at any time during any
of the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No.
157) related to assets and liabilities, which primarily affects the valuation of our derivative
contracts (see Note 4 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form
10-Q). 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 SFAS
No. 157 did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We do
not believe that the implementation of this standard, with respect to its effect on nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
On January 1, 2008, we adopted, but did not elect to apply, 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 had no 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. We are in
the process of evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this pronouncement.
21
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 our 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. We do not believe adopting this pronouncement
will have a material impact on the us. The pronouncement will impact reporting only.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements presented in
conformity with GAAP. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (the PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not believe that
the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That
May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement, (FSP APB 14-1). FSP
APB 14-1 addresses the accounting for convertible debt securities that, upon conversion, may be
settled by the issuer either fully or partially in cash. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2009 for the Company) and should be applied
retrospectively to all past periods presented. Early adoption is prohibited. We are in the
process of evaluating the impacts, if any, of adopting this FSP.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force, EITF Issue No. 07-5,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock
(EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 addresses how an entity should evaluate whether an instrument is indexed
to its own stock. The consensus is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods) beginning
after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2009 for the Company). The consensus must be applied to
outstanding instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the consensus is adopted
and should be treated as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impacts, if
any, of adopting this EITF.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, 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.
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 our long-term debt approximates its fair value as it bears interest at a
floating rate. Our Secured Convertible Notes (Convertible Notes) were a negotiated instrument
and are therefore recorded at fair value. We evaluated the Convertible Notes and determined that
there were no embedded features which would require derivative accounting.
22
Derivative Instruments
We use 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 (we have no cash flow
hedges at, or for the periods ended, June 30, 2008), changes in the estimated fair value of the
contracts are recorded as unrealized gains and losses under the other income and expense caption in
our Consolidated Statement of Operations. When oil and gas derivative contracts are settled, we
recognize realized gains and losses under the other income and expense caption in our consolidated
statement of operations.
Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 include fixed rate swap arrangements for the
sale of oil and natural gas and hedge contracts, valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation
technique, in place through 2013 for a total of approximately 531,790 Bbls of oil production and
2,429,277 MMbtu of natural gas production. The Company previously included swap agreements in
Level 1, however, has determined that based on the nature of the agreements swaps are more
appropriately classified as Level 2.
We also use various types of financing arrangements to fund our business capital requirements,
including convertible debt and other financial instruments indexed to the market price of our
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, we
initially and subsequently measure such instruments at estimated fair value using Level 2 inputs in
the Black-Scholes-Merton Pricing Model. Accordingly, we adjust 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had net loss from continuing operations of $30,028 as
compared to $7,245 in the same prior year period. Factors contributing to the $22,783 increase in
net loss include the following:
Oil and gas production for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 157% to 684,306 Mcfe as
compared to 266,107 Mcfe in the same prior year period. The increase in production is largely
attributable to the recognition of our first production in the Central Kansas Uplift, acquired in
April of 2008, and to increased production in the Teton Noble AMI and the Washco operating area.
Production in the Central Kansas Uplift was 320,972 Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and is expected to increase throughout the remainder of the year as newly drilled wells are brought
on line and identified recompletions are performed. We drilled six new wells in Kansas by June 30,
2008, with three of those wells coming on line late in the quarter, one waiting on completion and
two that were not commercially viable. We will begin to see measurable results from the four new
wells, and three additional successful wells that have been drilled since June 30, in the third
quarter. Drilling of up to an additional 31 wells is planned for the remainder of 2008.
Production in the Piceance decreased to 246,306 Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to 256,316 Mcfe for the same prior year period. The decrease is due primarily to an
increase in producing well count, more than offset by the normal production decline of existing
wells and more so by the fact that we sold half of our 25% working interest in the Piceance Basin
non-operated properties for $36.7 million in cash, including purchase price adjustments, and oil
and gas properties and related production valued at $4.7 million in the fourth quarter 2007.
Twelve new wells came on-line during the first half of 2008, bringing the total producing well
count to 65 wells, with 23 additional wells waiting on completion as of June 30, 2008.
23
Berry has informed us that they expect to complete the 23 wells by the end of September and intend
to drill a total of 52 wells, approximately 6.5 net to our interest, in 2008. Management of the
REX pipeline, which is a major conduit moving natural gas east from the Rockies, has informed the
public that they intend to curtail transportation capacity on the pipeline during the month of
September by 45% to perform maintenance procedures. Berry has further informed us that it will
shut in some production in the Piceance Basin during the REX pipeline maintenance but, as of yet,
has not determined how much will be shut in on properties in which we participate. Production in
the Teton Noble AMI increased from 6,401 Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to 45,083
Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2008, due to increased drilling activity. Washco
production for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 70,470 Mcfe. We recognized our first
production in Washco during the fourth quarter of 2007. Williston Basin production decreased to
1,475 Mcfe for the three months ended June 30, 2008, from 3,390 Mcfe for the same prior year
period. Current plans are to drill at least one additional Bakken well and one additional Red
River well in the Williston Basin this year, with the possibility of drilling up to two in each
formation.
Oil and gas sales increased 922% from $990 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $10,121 for
the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in total revenue is due to both increased
production volumes, as discussed above by operating area, and an increase in the average price per
Mcfe. The average price per Mcfe increased $7.34 per Mcfe, from $5.03 to $12.37 per Mcfe, after
the effect of hedging gains/losses. More typical winter weather contributed to the springs lower
average natural gas storage volumes which produced higher average second quarter prices for natural
gas in 2008 compared to 2007. Additionally, we added significant oil production during the second
quarter of 2008 as a part of the acquisition in the Central Kansas Uplift. When converted to a per
Mcfe basis, oil prices are currently significantly higher than that of natural gas, also
contributing to an increase in our price per Mcfe over the same prior year period.

Our production costs (lease operating expenses and transportation costs) and production taxes for
the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,893, due primarily to adding new operating areas
and to increased production as discussed above. LOE per Mcfe increased from $0.83 to $2.60 per
Mcfe primarily due to the addition of new operating areas with higher oil production which results
in higher LOE costs, as well as an increase in transportation costs related to oil in the Central
Kansas Uplift.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,576, from $2,180 to $4,756 for the three months
ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due primarily to an increase in compensation expense of
$3,111 related to (1) cash compensation related to additional headcount over the same prior year
period ($553) and (2) the increase in non-cash compensation charges ($2,558) for presumed vesting
of the 2006 LTIP and restricted stock awards ($174) and the actual vesting of the 2007 LTIP awards
and 2008 LTIP Tranche 1 awards ($2,384). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
professional fees of $103 related to the use of financial consultants who have been replaced with
additional full-time headcount and an increase in the reclassification of billable G&A costs and
G&A costs related to exploration activities of $370. There were no other individually significant
increases or decreases.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense increased from $594 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 to $3,099 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is due primarily
to the increased production, new productive areas and higher capitalized costs over the same prior
year period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a net unrealized loss (non-cash) on
derivative contracts of $22,246. The loss represents marking the derivative contracts to market at
June 30, 2008, based on the future expected prices of the related commodities (see discussion on
fair value measurement above).
Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $5,418 and included $3,845 and
$740 of amortization of debt issuance discount and debt issuance costs (non-cash), respectively
related to the 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes. The remaining interest expense relates to
net borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility and the convertible notes that were outstanding
during the quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a net loss from continuing operations of $38,251 as
compared to $9,046 in the same prior year period. Factors contributing to the $29,205 increase in
net loss include the following:
Oil and gas production for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 136% to 1,106,564 Mcfe as
compared to 468,994 Mcfe in the same prior year period. The increase in production is largely
attributable to the recognition of our first production in the Central Kansas Uplift, acquired in
April of 2008, and to increased production in the Piceance Basin, the Teton Noble AMI and the
Washco operating area. Production in the Central Kansas Uplift was 320,972 Mcfe for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and is expected to increase throughout the remainder of the year as newly

results from the four new wells, and three additional successful wells that have been drilled since
June 30, in the third quarter. Drilling of up to an additional 31 wells is planned for the
remainder of 2008. Production in the Piceance increased to 509,868 Mcfe for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to 452,805 Mcfe for the same prior year period. The increase is due
primarily to an increase in producing well count offset slightly by the normal production decline
of existing wells, and more so by the fact that we sold half of our 25% working interest in the
Piceance Basin non-operated properties for $36.7 million in cash, including purchase price
adjustments, and oil and gas properties and related production valued at $4.7 million in the fourth
quarter 2007. Twelve new wells came on-line during the first half of 2008, bringing the total

the Teton Noble AMI increased from 8,761 Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to 99,871
Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2008, due to increased drilling activity. Washco production
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 164,464 Mcfe. We recognized our first production in the
area during the fourth quarter of 2007. Williston Basin production increased to 11,389 Mcfe for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, from 7,428 Mcfe for the same prior year period. Current plans
are to drill at least one additional Bakken well and one additional Red River well in the Williston
Basin this year, with the possibility of drilling up to two in each formation.
Oil and gas sales increased 529% from $2,188 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $13,761 for
the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in total revenue is due to both increased
production volumes, as discussed above by operating area, and an increase in the average price per
Mcfe. The average price per Mcfe increased $5.65 per Mcfe, from $5.09 to $10.74 per Mcfe, after
the effect of hedging gains/losses. More typical winter weather and lower average natural gas
storage volumes combined to produce higher average first and second quarter prices for natural gas
in 2008 compared to 2007. Additionally, we added significant oil production during the second
quarter of 2008 as a part of the acquisition in the Central Kansas Uplift. When converted to a per
Mcfe basis, oil prices are currently significantly higher than that of natural gas, also
contributing to an increase in our price per Mcfe over the same prior year period.

Our production costs (lease operating expenses and transportation costs) and production taxes for
the six month ended June 30, 2008 increased $2,332, due primarily to adding new operating areas and
to increased production as discussed above. LOE per Mcfe increased from $0.84 to $2.04 per Mcfe
primarily due to the addition of new operating areas with higher oil production which results in
higher LOE costs as well as an increase in transportation costs related to oil in the Central
Kansas Uplift.
General and administrative expenses increased $4,515, from $4,060 to $8,575 for the six months
ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due primarily to an increase in compensation expense of
$4,320 related to (1) cash compensation related to additional headcount over the same prior year
period ($877) and (2) the increase in non-cash compensation charges ($3,443) for presumed vesting
of the 2006 LTIP and restricted stock awards ($699) and the actual vesting of the 2007 LTIP awards
and 2008 LTIP Tranche 1 awards ($2,744), an increase in professional fees of $436 related to
Sarbanes Oxley and financial consultant work performed in the first quarter of 2008 and an increase
of $111 for office rent and related expenses due to the additional headcount and related office
space. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the reclassification of billable
G&A costs and G&A costs related to exploration activities of $402. There were no other
individually significant increases or decreases.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense increased from $1,149 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 to $5,298 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is due primarily to
the increased production and higher capitalized costs over the same prior year period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded a net unrealized loss (non-cash) on
derivative contracts of $23,479. The loss represents marking the derivative contracts to market at
June 30, 2008, based on the future expected prices of the related commodities (see discussion on
fair value measurement above).
Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $9,634 and included $7,370 and
$1,419 of amortization of debt issuance discount and debt issuance costs (non-cash), respectively
related to the 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes. The remaining interest expense relates to
net borrowings on our Amended Credit Facility and the convertible notes that were outstanding
during the first half of 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and
qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term market risk
refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in nature gas and oil prices and interest
rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but
rather indicators of reasonably possible losses depending on market dynamics. This forward-looking
information provides indicators of how we view and manage (or anticipate managing) our ongoing
market risk exposures.
Commodity Risk
The price we receive for our oil and natural gas production heavily influences our revenue,
profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas commodity prices
have been volatile and unpredictable for several years. The prices we receive for our production
depend on numerous factors beyond our control. Based on our production for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, our income before income taxes for the period would have moved up or down
approximately $15.00 for every $1.00 change in oil prices and $14.00 for every $0.10 change in
natural gas prices.
26
We have entered into derivative contracts to manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price
volatility. We have a Company hedging policy in place to protect a portion of our production
against future price fluctuations. Refer to Contractual Obligations above for a breakout of our
outstanding hedge positions at June 30, 2008.
Interest Rate Risk
At June 30, 2008, we had $21,867 outstanding on our Credit Facility. 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%, at our request. We are also
required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.5% per annum, based on the average daily amount of
the unused amount of the commitment. Based on the $21,867 outstanding under our Credit Facility at
June 30, 2008, a one hundred basis point (1.0%) increase in each of the average LIBOR rate and
federal funds rate would result in an additional interest expense to us of approximately $55 per
quarter.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that as of June 30, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There were no material changes in our Risk Factors from those reported in Item 1A of Part I of our
2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on March 13,
2008.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On June 18, 2008, the Company closed on the private placement of $40 million in 10.75% Secured
Convertible Debentures due June 18, 2013 (the Debentures). The Debentures accrue interest at the
rate of 10.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears. In addition, the Debentures will be
convertible into shares of common stock at $6.50 per share. If investors convert into the common
stock or if the Debentures are called by the Company before the three-year anniversary of the
original issuance date, or June 18, 2011, the holders of the Debentures will be entitled to a
payment in an amount equal to all interest that would have accrued if the principal amount subject
to such conversion had remained outstanding through such three-year anniversary (the Interest Make
Whole). The Company may, at its option, pay the Interest Make Whole amount in cash or shares of
common stock. The value of the common stock will be determined based on ninety-percent (90%) of
the lower of (i) the volume weighted average price (the VWAP) for the common stock for the ten
(10) trading days immediately prior to the date the payment is due; and the closing price of the
common stock on the date immediately preceding the conversion date; provided, however, that the
Company may not issue the shares at a price below the $5.47, which was the closing price of the
Companys common stock on June 6, 2008. The Debentures also provide for customary dividend
protection and anti-dilution protection in the event of, among other things, stock splits and
dividends.
The Debentures are convertible into a maximum of 8,411,937 shares of the Companys common stock,
assuming the payment of the maximum Interest Make Whole amount in shares. Excluding the Interest
Make Whole amount, the Debentures are convertible into 6,153,847 shares of common stock.

Capital Markets Corporation (RBC) served as the sole placement agent for the transaction. RBC

was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), in reliance on an
exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506 promulgated
