NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “Magnum Hunter”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as reported in the 2010 annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, have been omitted.
Income or Loss per Share
Basic income or loss per common share is net income or loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact to net income and common shares outstanding for the potential dilution from in-the-money common stock options and warrants, and convertible debentures and preferred stock.
We have issued potentially dilutive instruments in the form of restricted common stock granted and not yet issued, common stock warrants, common stock options and Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The total number of potentially dilutive securities at March 31, 2011 was 12,106,637. There were 21,435,688 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2010. We did not include the potentially dilutive securities in our calculation of diluted loss per share during either period because to include them would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss during those periods.
The following table summarizes the types of potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):
                 
    March 31,
    2011   2010
Series B Preferred Stock

Restricted Shares granted, not yet issued

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnum Hunter and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eagle Ford Hunter, Inc. (f/k/a Sharon Hunter Resources, Inc.) (“Sharon”), Triad Hunter, LLC, Alpha Hunter Drilling, LLC, Hunter Disposal, LLC, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC, Hunter Real Estate, LLC, NGAS Hunter, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition Company I, LLC), Williston Hunter ND, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition II, LLC), and MHR Acquisition Company III, LLC. We also have consolidated our 87.5% controlling interest in PRC Williston, LLC (“PRC”) with noncontrolling interests recorded for the outside interest in PRC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates are required for proved oil and gas reserves which may have a material impact on the carrying value of oil and gas property.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those significant accounting policies that are most critical to an understanding of a company’s financial condition and results of operations. We consider an accounting estimate or judgment to be critical if (i) it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected, could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Reclassification of Prior-Year Balances
Certain prior-year balances in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to correspond with current-year classifications. As a result of the sale of our Cinco Terry oil and gas properties on October 29, 2010, we reclassified the gain on sale and all prior operating income and related interest expense for this property as discontinued operations.
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards also establish a framework for measuring fair value and a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) 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
We used the following fair value measurements for certain of our assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2010:
Level 2 Classification:
Derivative Instruments
At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had commodity derivative financial instruments in place. The Company does not apply hedge accounting; therefore, the changes in fair value subsequent to the initial measurement are recorded as income or expense. The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information which resulted in the Company classifying such derivatives as Level 2. Although the Company’s derivative instruments are valued using public indexes, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange. See Note 6 — Financial Instruments and Derivatives, for additional information.
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s derivative contracts were with major financial institutions, most of which are senior lenders to the Company, and have investment grade credit ratings which are believed to have a minimal credit risk. As such, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties in the derivative contracts discussed above; however, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance.

NOTE 6 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
We enter into certain commodity derivative instruments which are effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of our future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. Our oil and gas operating revenues and cash flows are impacted by changes in commodity product prices, which are volatile and cannot be accurately predicted. Our objective for holding these commodity derivatives is to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of our future crude oil sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices, which helps insure our ability to fund our capital budget. We have not designated any of our commodity derivatives as hedges under ASC 815.
As of March 31, 2011, we had the following derivative instruments in place:

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a loss of $3.3 million related to oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which included $8,000 of realized gain from contracts settled in cash, and $3.3 million of unrealized losses related to unsettled contracts. Unrealized gain and losses are based on the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments covering positions beyond March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recognized a gain of $1.1 million related to oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which included $3.0 million of realized gain from contracts settled in cash, and $1.9 of unrealized losses related to unsettled contracts. Unrealized gain and losses are based on the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments covering positions beyond March 31, 2010.
NOTE 7 — ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company records a liability for the fair value of an asset’s retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and the corresponding cost is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset. We have included estimated future costs of abandonment and dismantlement in our successful efforts amortization base and amortize these costs as a component of our depreciation, depletion, and accretion expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the net assets acquired approximated the $122.5 million in consideration paid.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility
On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Second Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated, in its entirety, that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 12, 2010.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility maturing April 13, 2016, with a new borrowing base of $145 million. The initial borrowing base was set at $120 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NGAS. The borrowing base was subsequently increased to $145 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NuLoch Resources, Inc. (“NuLoch”), which closed on May 3, 2011. The revolving facility is governed by a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination derived from the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, and based on such redeterminations, the borrowing base may be decreased or may be increased up to a maximum commitment level of $250 million. The borrowing base is subject to such periodic redeterminations commencing November 1, 2011.
The facility may be used for loans and, subject to a $10,000,000 sublimit, letters of credit. The facility provides for a commitment fee of 0.5% based on the unused portion of the borrowing base under the Revolving Facility.
Borrowings under the facility will, at the Company’s election, bear interest at either: (i) an alternate base rate (“ABR”) equal to the higher of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum and (C) the LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day plus 1.0%; or (ii) the adjusted LIBO Rate, which is the rate stated on Reuters BBA Libor Rates LIBOR01 market for one, two, three, six or twelve months, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, plus, in each of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for ABR loans and from 2.25% to 3.25% for adjusted LIBO Rate loans.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may increase the interest rate then in effect by an additional 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR loans.
The agreement contains negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company to, with certain exceptions: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) grant liens; (3) make certain payments; (4) change the nature of its business; (5) dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or enter into mergers, consolidations or similar transactions; (6) make investments, loans or advances; (7) pay cash dividends, unless certain conditions are met, and subject to a “basket” of $20,000,000 per year available for payment of dividends on preferred stock; and (8) enter into transactions with affiliates. The Second Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (1) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (2) a ratio of EBITDAX to interest of not less than 2.5 to 1.0; and (3) a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX of not more than (a) 4.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and (b) 4.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Company is also required to enter into certain commodity hedging agreements pursuant to the terms of the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Company under the agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. Events of default include customary events for a financing agreement of this type, including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy or related defaults, defaults relating to judgments and the occurrence of a change in control.
Subject to certain permitted liens, the Company’s obligations under the agreement have been secured by the grant of a first priority lien on no less than 80% of the value of the proved oil and gas properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, which liens include those properties acquired through the acquisition of NGAS and the acquisition of NuLoch.
In connection with the agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries also entered into certain customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which, among other things, provide that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company arising under or in connection with the Second Restated Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries.

General and Business Overview
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas, primarily in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Texas and Louisiana. The Company is presently active in three of the most attractive shale resource plays in the United States, the Marcellus Shale, Eagle Ford Shale and Williston Basin / Bakken Shale. The Company is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 1997. In 2005, Magnum Hunter began oil and gas operations under the name Petro Resources Corporation. In May 2009, Magnum Hunter restructured its senior management team and refocused its business strategy, and in July 2009 changed its name to Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation.
The Company’s new management implemented a business strategy consisting of exploiting the Company’s inventory of lower risk drilling locations and the acquisition of undeveloped leases and long-lived proved reserves with significant exploitation and development opportunities primarily located in unconventional resource plays. As a result of this strategy, the Company has substantially increased its assets and production base through a combination of acquisitions and ongoing development drilling efforts, the Company’s percentage of operated properties has increased significantly, its inventory of acreage and drilling locations in resource plays has grown and its management team has been expanded to accommodate this growth. Recently, management has focused on further developing and exploiting unconventional resource plays, the acquisition of additional operated properties and the development of associated midstream opportunities directly related to these regions.

requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (1) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (2) a ratio of EBITDAX to interest of not less than 2.5 to 1.0; and (3) a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX of not more than (a) 4.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and (b) 4.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Company is also required to enter into certain commodity hedging agreements pursuant to the terms of the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
The obligations of the Company under the Second Restated Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Second Restated Credit Agreement). Events of Default include customary events for a financing agreement of this type, including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy or related defaults, defaults relating to judgments and the occurrence of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Second Restated Credit Agreement).
Subject to certain permitted liens, the Company’s obligations under the Second Restated Credit Agreement have been secured by the grant of a first priority lien on no less than 80% of the value of the proved oil and gas properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, which liens include those properties acquired through the acquisition of NGAS and NuLoch.
In connection with the Second Restated Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries also entered into certain customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which, among other things, provide that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company arising under or in connection with the Second Restated Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries.
Equity Financings. We raised substantial cash in the total amount of $99.0 million gross proceeds through equity transactions in 2011 through May 5, 2011. Those transactions included:
    $14.2 million in gross proceeds from common equity issuance in 2011 through May 5, 2011 (at an average price of $8.27 per share)
    $29.8 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of our 10.25% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, at a price of $25.00 per share during 2011 through May 5, 2011.
    $5.3 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants and common stock options for 2011 through May 5, 2011
    $41.7 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of our 8.0% Series D Preferred Stock for 2011 through May 5, 2011
We plan to continue raising both preferred and common equity in the future depending on our capital expenditures program and market conditions.

Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production increased 141.3% to 236.6 MBoe for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from 98.0 MBoe for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Production for the 2011 period was approximately 50% oil and 50% natural gas compared to 65% oil and 35% natural gas for the 2010 period. Our average daily production on a Boe basis increased 141.3% to 2,629 Boe per day for the 2011 period compared to 1,089 Boe per day for the 2010 period. The increase in production is primarily attributable to the results of our drilling program in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shales in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. Eagle Ford and Marcellus production accounted for 45.9 and 76.7 Mboe, respectively, of the production increase in the first quarter of 2011. Other production increases are due to the inclusion of three months of operations of Triad Hunter in the 2011 period versus two months in the 2010 period, which resulted in change of approximately 26.6 Mboe, and production of 11.5 Mboe in 2011 attributable to the acquisition of oil and gas properties from PostRock in January 2011. We successfully completed 5 gross (3.44 net) horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 3 gross (2.67 net) wells in the Marcellus Shale through March 31, 2011. We experienced production declines of 8.4 Mboe in our Williston basin production, 9.3 Mboe in our other Appalachian Basin properties, 1.5 Mboe in our Gulf Coast production and 2.9 Mboe in our other South Texas properties. Approximately 3.6 Mboe of the Williston Basin decline was due to winter weather-related issues affecting production. We expect our oil and gas production to dramatically increase during the remainder of 2011 due to our acquisition of NGAS and NuLoch in the second quarter of 2011. Depending on our success rate in continued drilling programs in the Eagle Ford and Marcellus Shale, we anticipate to increase production from drilling operations for the remainder of 2011.
Oil and gas sales. Oil and gas sales increased $7.8 million, or 128%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $14.0 million from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in oil and gas sales principally resulted from increased production as described above. The average price we received for our oil production increased $14.35 per barrel (20%) to $86.59 per barrel, while the average price received for gas production decreased $2.22 per Mcf (30.1%) to $5.15 per Mcf. Our average price for gas decreased due to market trends in the price for natural gas and prior fixed base gas contracts expiring. Of the $7.8 million increase in oil and gas sales, approximately $153,000, or 2%, was attributable to an increase in oil prices, net of a decrease in gas prices, while approximately $7.7 million, or 98% of the increase in oil and gas sales was attributable to the increase in production volumes. The prices we receive for our products are generally tied to commodity index prices. We periodically enter into commodity derivative contracts in an attempt to offset some of the variability in prices. (See the discussion of commodity derivative activities in Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.)
Field operations revenue and expense. Field operations revenue was approximately $1.4 million and field operations expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Field operations revenue was approximately $519,000 and field operations expense was approximately $271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. All of the increase resulted from the Triad acquisition and includes revenue and expense from services provided to third parties for drilling, well servicing, natural gas transportation, salt water disposal, and operating services.
Lease operating expense. Our lease operating expenses increased $711,000, or 31%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $3.0 million ($12.67 per Boe) from $2.3 million ($23.32 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decline in the per Boe operating expense is due to the effect of adding new production, principally in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford, at lower cost per unit produced when compared to the per unit operating cost in our older, legacy fields such as conventional Appalachian and Williston Basin production.
Severance taxes and marketing. Our severance taxes increased $517,000, or 140%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $888,000 from $371,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. All of the increase in severance taxes was attributable to the increased in oil and gas production. Marketing expenses decreased by $32,000, or 23%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, to $107,000 from $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to production declines at our existing Williston Basin properties.
Exploration expense. We incurred $314,000 of exploration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $97,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to higher geological and geophysical costs as well as delay rentals paid in our Appalachian Basin region.
Depletion, depreciation and accretion. Our depletion, depreciation and accretion expense increased $4.3 million, or 355%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to increased production in the 2011 period. Our DD&A per Boe increased by $10.97, or 88%, to $23.37 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $12.41 per Boe for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in DD&A expense per BOE was primarily attributable to the higher cost to drill and equip our new Eagle Ford and Marcellus Shale wells, which are horizontally drilled wells and which require more expensive completion techniques than traditional, vertically-drilled wells.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses (G&A) increased $89,000, or 1.3%, to $6.9 million ($28.98 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $6.8 million ($69.03 per Boe) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. G&A expenses increased overall during the 2011 period due to expansion activities of the Company, partially offset by a decrease in

bonus and other accruals. Non-cash stock compensation totaled approximately $1.4 million for both the 2011 and 2010 periods. Also included in G&A in the 2011 period are acquisition related costs of approximately $1.7 million which were for legal, consulting and other costs related to the purchase of assets from Post Rock in January 2011 and for the acquisition of NGAS and NuLoch which closed in April and May of 2011, respectively. Acquisition expenses incurred in the 2010 period of $1.3 million were related to the acquisition of Triad in February, 2010. These costs were expensed due to accounting standards which require that acquisition costs must be expensed rather than capitalized as part of the cost of the asset being acquired for years beginning in 2010. We expect overall G&A costs to increase in the aggregate in 2011, but to continue to decline on a Boe basis due to the ongoing expansion activities of the Company.
Interest expense, net. Our interest expense, net of interest income, increased approximately $139,000, or 21% to $787,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $648,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was substantially the result of our higher average debt level during 2011 offset by lower interest rates.
Commodity derivative activities. Realized gains and losses from our commodity derivative activity increased our earnings by approximately $8,000 and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Realized gains and losses are derived from the relative movement of oil and gas prices on the products we sell in relation to the range of prices in our derivative contracts for the respective three months. The unrealized loss on commodity derivatives was approximately $3.3 million for the 2011 period and $1.9 million for the 2010 period. As commodity prices increase, the fair value of the open portion of those positions decreases. As commodity prices decrease, the fair value of the open portion of those positions increases. Historically, we have not designated our derivative instruments as cash-flow hedges. We record our open derivative instruments at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as either unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives. We record all changes in realized and unrealized gains and losses on our consolidated statements of operations under the caption entitled “Gain (loss) on derivative contracts”. Our gain or loss from realized and unrealized derivative contracts was a loss of approximately $3.3 million and a gain of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.)
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 versus $68,000 for same period in 2010. This represents 12.5% of the gain or loss incurred by our subsidiary, PRC Williston. We record a non-controlling interest in the results of operations of this subsidiary because we are contractually obligated to make distributions to the holders of this interest whenever we make distributions to ourselves from the subsidiary company.
Loss from Continuing Operations. We had a loss from continuing operations of $6.7 million for the 2011 period versus a loss of $4.1 million for the 2010 period, an increase of $2.6 million, or 64.1% This was due to a decrease in operating loss of $2.0 million offset by an increase in loss on derivative contracts of $4.5 million.
Income from Discontinued Operations. On October 29, 2010, we closed on a divestiture of our Cinco Terry properties effective October 1, 2010. We have reclassified $290,000 of Cinco Terry operating income less interest expense to discontinued operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2010. As a result of this divestiture, our previously reported average daily production volume of 285 Boepd from this property for the 2010 period has been excluded from our reported total average daily production volumes.
Dividends on Preferred Stock. Total dividends on our Series B, Series C, and Series D Preferred Stock were approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, versus $262,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of approximately $100 million and $9.1 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and carries a cumulative dividend rate of 10.25% per annum. The Series D Preferred Stock had a stated value of $20.5 million and none at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively and carries a cumulative dividend rate of 8.0% per annum. We redeemed all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock in June 2010.
Net Loss attributable to Common Shareholders. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $9.3 million in the 2011 period versus $4.0 million in the 2010 period. Our net loss per common share, basic and diluted was $0.12 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to $0.07 per share for the 2010 period. Our weighted average shares outstanding increased by approximately 19.9 million shares, or 35.7%, to approximately 75.6 million shares from the 2010 period to the 2011 period. Our net loss per share from continuing operations was $0.12 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, versus $0.08 per share for the 2010 period. We had income from discontinued operations of $0.01 per share in the 2010 period from the Cinco Terry assets which were sold on October 29, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generally will rely on cash generated from operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and, to the extent that credit and capital market conditions will allow, public and private equity and debt offerings to satisfy our liquidity needs. Our ability to fund

25


Table of Contents

planned capital expenditures and to make acquisitions depends upon our future operating performance, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and more broadly, on the availability of equity and debt financing, which is affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether additional liquidity from equity or debt financings beyond our revolving credit facility will be available, or acceptable on our terms, or at all, in the foreseeable future.
Our cash flow from operations is driven by commodity prices, production volumes and the effect of commodity derivatives. Prices for oil and gas are affected by national and international economic and political environments, national and global supply and demand for hydrocarbons, seasonal influences of weather and other factors beyond our control. Our working capital is significantly influenced by changes in commodity prices, and significant declines in prices will cause a decrease in our production volumes and exploration and development expenditures. Cash flows from operations are primarily used to fund exploration and development of our oil and gas properties.
We intend to fund 2011 capital expenditures, excluding any acquisitions, primarily out of internally-generated cash flows and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, exercises of outstanding common stock options and warrants, and selective issuances of equity securities under our ATM facility. As of March 31, 2011, we had approximately $3.8 million of cash on hand and $31.5 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately $35.3 million on that date. On April 13, 2011, in conjunction with our acquisition of NGAS, our revolving credit agreement was amended and restated and our borrowing base was increased to $120 million. On May 3, 2011, in conjunction with the acquisition of NuLoch, our borrowing base was further increased to $145 million, providing an additional $25 million of availability. From April 1, 2011, through May 5, 2011, we realized additional proceeds from issuance of new common stock and new Series D Preferred Stock totaling approximately $36.0 million.
There are several factors that will affect our liquidity for the remainder of 2011. We anticipate having increased operating cash flows as a result of the NGAS Acquisition and NuLoch Acquisition and the successful results of our ongoing drilling program in all three core regions, offset by increased interest expense due to higher debt levels and higher dividend costs due to the issuance of our Series D Preferred Stock. We also expect to have increased salary and other administrative costs associated with the increased number of employees resulting from the acquisitions closed during the first half of 2011 and subsequent acquisition activity of the Company. Our borrowing base under our revolving credit agreement was increased to $145 million on May 3, 2011. We expect the additional operating cash flows from the new acquisitions, additional liquidity under the Second Restated Credit Agreement, and cash provided by the issuance of equity securities in 2011 to provide the cash necessary to meet all currently budgeted operating and capital expenditure requirements for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year.

Operating Activities
In comparing the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, our cash flows from operations increased by approximately $6.4 million due mainly to improved operating results before depreciation and depletion expense.
Investing Activities
Our cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $65.6 million, which primarily represent capital expenditures under our 2011 capital expenditures budget as described below.
Our cash flows used in investing activities for the three months in 2010 were for the Triad acquisition of approximately $59.5 million as well as capital expenditures of $9.5 million, which included approximately $7.6 million for the acquisition of undeveloped leasehold interests, primarily in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas and the Marcellus Shale in West Virginia, approximately $534,000 for exploratory drilling in South Texas and approximately $1.1 million gross ($444,000 net after applying previously paid drilling advances) in development drilling in our Cinco Terry field (which has since been divested).

Financing Activities
We borrowed $36.0 million under our revolving credit facility and made principal repayments of $26.0 million during the 2011 period versus borrowing $58.0 million and repaying $7.0 million in the 2010 period. In the 2011 period, we realized $5.0 million from the exercise of common stock options and warrants, we issued shares of our Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock in the 2011 period for net proceeds of $29.1 million, and we issued shares of our Series D Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $18.1 million. In the 2010 period, we received net proceeds of $3.6 million for issuing Series C Preferred Stock, and we issued common stock and warrants for net proceeds of $13.1 million. We paid $2.6 million in preferred stock dividends in the 2011 period compared to $273,000 in the 2010 period. In the 2010 period, we paid $2.6 million of deferred financing costs related to our revolving credit agreement in conjunction with our acquisition of Triad, versus none in the 2011 period.
2011 Capital Expenditures
The following table summarizes our estimated capital expenditures excluding acquisitions for 2011. We intend to fund 2011 capital expenditures, excluding any acquisitions, primarily out of internally-generated cash flows and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our capital expenditure budget for 2011 is subject to change depending upon a number of factors, including economic and industry conditions at the time of drilling, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and gas, the results of our development and exploration efforts, the availability of sufficient capital resources for drilling prospects, our financial results, the availability of leases on reasonable terms and our ability to obtain permits for the drilling locations.
We believe that cash flows from operations, available cash, cash provided by the issuance of new common and preferred stock, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will finance substantially all of our anticipated capital needs through 2011. We may also use our revolving credit facility for possible acquisitions and temporary working capital needs. Further, we may decide to opportunistically access the public or private equity or debt markets for potential acquisitions, working capital or other liquidity needs, if such financings are available on acceptable terms.
Second Restated Credit Agreement
On April 13, 2011, we entered into a Second Restated Credit Agreement which increased the maximum commitment to $250 million. The borrowing base has been established at $145 million, and the initial borrowing base was set at $120 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NGAS Resources, Inc, which closed April 13, 2011. The borrowing base increased to the New Borrowing Base level of $145 million upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Williston Basin focused NuLoch Resources, Inc, which closed on May 3, 2011.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement provides for a semi-annual redetermination of the borrowing base, which is based on the value assigned to the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as determined by third party engineering consultants. The New Borrowing Base has been established based upon the proved reserve values as of December 31, 2010, from a combination of NGAS’s, NuLoch’s and the Company’s total proved reserves. Based on values assigned to crude oil and natural gas properties which may be either acquired of drilled over time, the Company’s borrowing base may increase up to the maximum $250 million commitment level. The Second Restated Credit Agreement replaces Magnum Hunter’s $150 million three-year term secured revolving credit facility, which had a borrowing base of $71.5 million. The Second Restated Credit Agreement also provides for an interest rate margin ranging from LIBOR plus 3.25% depending on the level of outstanding borrowings at any given time under the Second Restated Credit Agreement, which is a lower cost of funds that the prior senior bank facility.

Covenants
The Second Restated Credit Agreement, as amended and restated on April 13, 2011, requires the Company to satisfy certain affirmative financial covenants, including maintaining (i) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 and 1.0, (ii) a ratio of EBITDAX to interest of not less than 2.5 to 1.0, and (iii) a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX of not more than (a) 4.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and (b) 4.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Company is also required to enter into certain commodity hedging agreements pursuant to the terms of the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
To date we have experienced no disruptions in our ability to access our revolving credit facility. However, our lenders have substantial ability to reduce our borrowing base on the basis of subjective factors, including the loan collateral value that each lender, in its discretion and using the methodology, assumptions and discount rates as such lender customarily uses in evaluating oil and gas properties, assigns to our properties.
Related Party Transactions
We rented an airplane for business use at various times from Pilatus Hunter, LLC, an entity 100% owned by Mr. Evans, our Chairman and CEO. Airplane rental expenses totaled $123,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We obtained accounting services and use of office space from GreenHunter Energy, Inc., an entity for which Mr. Evans is an officer and major shareholder and Mr. Ormand is a director. Professional services expenses totaled $18,000 and $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As of March 31, 2011, our net accounts payable to Pilatus Hunter, LLC was $59,000 and our net accounts payable to GreenHunter Energy, Inc. was $18,000
Contractual Commitments
Our contractual commitments consist of long-term debt, accrued interest on long-term debt, operating lease obligations, asset retirement obligations and employment agreements with executive officers.
Our long-term debt comprises borrowings under our revolving credit facility and term equipment debt assumed in the Triad acquisition. Interest on revolving debt is based on the rate applicable under our revolving credit facility, which was 4.5% at March 31, 2011. The term equipment debt has an average interest rate of approximately 6.01% at March 31, 2011. (See Note 8 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.)
As of March 31, 2011, we rent various office spaces in Houston, Texas, that total approximately 22,966 square feet at a cost of $37,925 per month for the remaining terms ranging from eleven to sixty-two months. Triad had various lease commitments for periods ranging from nine to eighty months at March 31, 2011, and with monthly payments of approximately $24,618 as of that date.
On September 25, 2010 the Company entered into a twelve month drilling contract. Our maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, is approximately $2.2 million as of March 31, 2011.
On December 14, 2010, the Company entered into a twelve month drilling contract for the 2011 year. Our maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, is approximately $1.2 million as of March 31, 2011.
Our asset retirement obligation represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as an expense in the income statement.
We have outstanding employment agreements with four of our executive and senior officers for terms ranging from one to three years. Our maximum commitment under the employment agreements, which would apply if the employees covered by these agreements were all terminated without cause, was approximately $1.1 million at March 31, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, we enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to off-balance sheet obligations. As of March 31, 2011, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include, and operating lease agreements. We do not believe that these arrangements are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of, or requirements for, capital resources.
Item 3.   Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
Some of the information below contains forward—looking statements. 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 oil and gas prices and other related factors. The disclosure is not meant to be a precise indicator of expected future losses, but rather an indicator of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides an indicator of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. Our market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for commodity derivative and investment purposes, not for trading purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
Given the current economic outlook, we expect the commodity prices to remain voaitile. Even modest decreases in commodity prices can materially affect our revenues and cash flow. In addition, if commodity prices remain suppressed for a significant amount of time, we could be required under successful efforts accounting rules to perform a write down of our oil and gas properties.
We may enter into financial swaps and collars to reduce the risk of commodity price fluctuations. We do not designate such instruments as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, we record open commodity derivative positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value and recognize changes in such fair values as income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations as they occur.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2011, we had the following commodity derivative positions outstanding:
                         
Natural Gas   Period   MMBTU/day   Price per MMBTU
 
Collars
  Apr 2011 - Dec 2011     2,143     $ 5.37 - $7.43  
 
  Jan 2012 - Dec 2012     1,910     $ 5.00 - $8.65  
 
Swaps
  Apr 2011 - Dec 2011     113     $ 5.98

  Jan 2012 - Dec 2012     187     $ 78.66 - $102.14  
 
Swaps
  Apr 2011 - Dec 2011     43     $ 85.09  
 
Floors sold (put)
  Apr 2011 - Dec 2011     147     $ 60.00  
 
  Jan 2012 - Dec 2012     50     $ 55.00  
 
Floors purchased (put)
  Apr 2011 - June 2011     710     $ 83.87  
 
  July 2011 - Sep 2011     935     $ 84.14  
 
  Oct 2011 - Dec 2011     1260     $ 84.37  
 
  Jan 2012 - Dec 2012     153     $ 80.00  
At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of our open derivative contracts was a net liability of approximately $4.1 million and $778,000, respectively.
Bank of Montreal and KeyBank National Association are currently the only counterparties to our commodity derivatives positions. We are exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties on our commodity derivatives positions. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties over the term of the commodity derivatives positions. Bank of Montreal is the administrative agent and a participant in our revolving credit facility, and KeyBank is a participant in our revolving credit facility, and the collateral for the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility is used as collateral for our commodity derivatives.
Unrealized gains and losses, at fair value, are included on our consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the anticipated timing of cash settlements under the related contracts. Changes in the fair value of our commodity derivative contracts are recorded in earnings as they occur and included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations. We estimate the fair values of swap contracts based on the present value of the difference in exchange-quoted forward price curves and contractual settlement prices multiplied by notional quantities. We internally valued the collar, call, and put contracts using industry-standard option pricing models and observable market inputs. We use our internal valuations to determine the fair values of the contracts that are reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses are also included in other income (expense) on our consolidated statements of operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we recorded an unrealized loss on commodity derivatives of $3.3 million, compared to an unrealized loss of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from the change in fair value of our commodity derivatives positions. A hypothetical 10% increase in commodity prices would have resulted in a $449,000 decrease in the fair value of our commodity derivative positions recorded on our balance sheet at March 31, 2011, and a corresponding increase in the unrealized loss on commodity derivatives recorded on our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Item 4.   Controls and procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Such controls include those designed to ensure that information for

30


Table of Contents

disclosure is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations inherent in all controls
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, recognizes that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls (discussed above) cannot prevent all errors or all attempts at fraud. Any controls system, no matter how well crafted and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, no evaluation or implementation of a control system can provide complete assurance that all control issues and all possible instances of fraud have been or will be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.
There have been no material developments in the legal proceedings described in Part I, Item 3. “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Item 1A.   Risk factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in the following reports that we have filed with the SEC, which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations: Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, under the headings Items 1. and 2. “Business and Properties — Markets and Customers; Competition; and Regulation,” Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” and Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”.
Except as provided below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our website at www.magnumhunterresourcess.com.
The use of geoscientific, petropyhsical and engineering analyses and other technical or operating data to evaluate drilling prospects is uncertain and does not guarantee drilling success or recovery of economically producible reserves.
Our decisions to explore, develop and acquire prospects or properties targeting the Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken Shale, Marcellus Shale, and other areas depend on data obtained through geoscientific, petrophysical and engineering analyses, the results of which can be uncertain. Even when properly used and interpreted, data from whole cores, regional well log analyses and 3-D seismic only assist our technical team in identifying hydrocarbon indicators and subsurface structures and estimating hydrocarbons in place. They do not allow us to know conclusively the amount of hydrocarbons in place and if those hydrocarbons are producible economically. In addition, the use of advanced drilling and completion technologies for our Bakken Shale and Eagle Ford developments, such as horizontal drilling and multi-stage fracture stimulations, requires greater expenditures than our traditional development drilling strategies. Our ability to commercially recover and produce the hydrocarbons that we believe are in place and attributable to the our properties will depend on the effective use of advanced drilling and completion techniques, the scope of our drilling program (which will be directly affected by the availability of capital), drilling and production costs, availability of drilling and completion services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, regulatory approval and geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates. Our estimates of unproved reserves, estimated ultimate recoveries per well, hydrocarbons in place and resource potential may change significantly as development of our oil and gas assets provides additional data.
