NULOCH RESOURCES INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(Tabular amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, unaudited; Canadian dollars)

 
1.
Nature of business
 
NuLoch Resources Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta. The Company’s activities are related to exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas. The Company was incorporated on May 13, 2005 and commercial operations commenced on July 1, 2005.
 
The Company's activities were expanded through a wholly owned subsidiary NuLoch America Corp. ("NAC") that is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. NAC was incorporated on September 28, 2009 and commercial operations commenced on October 26, 2009.
 
2.
Basis of presentation and accounting policies
 
These are the Company's first interim consolidated financial statements prepared by management in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for private enterprises (“ASPE”). The previous annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP") applicable to public enterprises in effect prior to January 1, 2011. There were no adjustments to reported retained earnings as at January 1, 2010, March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2010 or consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of the transition to ASPE. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared following the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, except as noted below. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosure required by ASPE for annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.The disclosures included below are incremental to those included with the annual consolidated financial statements.
 
The application of ASPE effected the presentation of the financial statements and altered various accounting policies of the Company as noted below:
 
 
(i)
Financial instruments - Under ASPE financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently valued at amortized cost except derivatives and equity investments that are quoted in an active market. The Company's financial instruments which are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and bank loan were not impacted by the elimination of the multiple categories for financial instruments that were available under Canadian GAAP.
 
 
(ii)
Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") - ASPE introduced a new model that measures ARO at the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. The estimate of ARO recorded in the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements and the estimates and assumptions therein comply with the ASPE standard.
 
 
 
5

 
 
 
(iii)
Cumulative translation adjustment - The Company's wholly owned United States subsidiary, NAC, is considered a self-sustaining foreign operation with a United States functional currency. In the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements, translation gains and losses in NAC were included in other comprehensive income in accordance with Canadian GAAP. ASPE eliminated the statement of other comprehensive income and exchange gains and losses are reported directly in equity and referred to as the cumulative translation adjustment. There was no impact of this change on reported results or the method to translate NAC. The impact of ASPE was limited to the presentation of the exchange gain and losses within the consolidated financial statements.
 
 
(iv)
ASPE provided several optional exemptions that could be applied on January 1, 2010, the ASPE transition date. None of these elections were utilized upon conversion of the Company's financial statements to ASPE with the exception of the exemption on prior business combinations. ASPE adopted new standards on business combinations that are aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 3). The Company elected, as permitted under ASPE transition rules, not to restate any business combinations that occurred prior to January 1, 2010, the ASPE transition date. The Company did not complete any business combinations in 2010 or the first quarter of 2011, therefore the new ASPE business combination standard had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, general and administrative costs and share based compensation of $669,000 (2010 - $341,000) directly related to the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves were capitalized.
 
At March 31, 2011, costs associated with unproved petroleum and natural gas properties which have been excluded from the calculation of depletion and depreciation were in Canada $4,008,000 (2010 - $7,784,000) and in the United States $11,735,000 (2010 - $12,587,000).
 
At March 31, 2011, future development and asset retirement costs associated with proved reserves which have been included in the calculation of depletion and depreciation were in Canada $39,056,000 (2010 - $8,449,000) and in the United States $47,990,000 (2010 - $5,850,000).

Bank loan
 
The Company had a demand revolving operating credit facility with a Canadian chartered bank. The total credit limit of the facility at March 31, 2011 was $25,000,000 and interest was charged at the bank's prime rate plus an amount varying from 1.75 to 2.4 percent per annum. A stand-by fee was charged on undrawn portions of the facility at a varying rate from 0.15 to 0.28 percent per annum. The facility was subject to regular review by the bank and was secured by a demand fixed and floating charge debenture conveying a first charge on all of the assets of the Company.
 
As a result of the acquisition of the Company by Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation ("Magnum Hunter") (note 13) the bank loan was repaid and the facility was canceled.
 
7.
Income taxes
 
In February 2011 the Company renounced tax deductions to shareholders that totalled $8,100,000 in respect of flow-through shares issued in October 2010. The income tax effect of the renouncement, being $2,025,000, was recorded as a reduction in share capital and the future income tax asset.

(i) 
As required under U.S. GAAP, the carrying value of petroleum and natural gas interests, net of future income taxes, is limited to the present value of net revenue from proven reserves after tax, discounted at 10 percent. Commodity prices used are those that represent an average of the prices on the first day of each month in the calendar year. As a result of applying the U.S. GAAP full cost ceiling test various write downs have been recorded ($640,000 in 2010).
 
As a result of using proven reserves determined using constant dollars to calculate depletion and the lower depletion base resulting from the above noted write-downs, depletion and depreciation expense under U.S. GAAP is $125,000 less for the three months ended March 31, 2011 (2010 - $461,000) than ASPE.
 
Cumulative U.S. GAAP adjustments resulted in a decrease in property and equipment to March 31, 2011 of $31,457,000 (December 31, 2010 - $31,745,000). These adjustments are a result of U.S. GAAP impairment write-down's of $45,429,000 offset by lower accumulated depletion and depreciation under U.S. GAAP and an increase to the cost of property and equipment from a 2009 acquisition.
 
(ii)
The increase in future income taxes reduction is a result of the an adjustment to a 2009 business combination as discussed in the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements along with the tax effect of the adjustments made to the Company's net loss under U.S. GAAP.
 
(iii) 
U.S. GAAP requires share capital to be recorded at fair value excluding the premium received on flow-through shares. Therefore, the premium received on the issuance of flow-through shares is recorded as a liability until the tax benefits are renounced to shareholders, at which time a deferred income tax liability is recognized through the income statement. The following adjustments have been recorded for U.S. GAAP:
 
- A deferred premium liability in the amount of $1,350,000 was recognized at December 31, 2010 and reversed through the future income tax asset in February 2011 when the flow-through expenditures were renounced.
 
- Share capital at March 31, 2011 has increased by $5,131,000 (December 31, 2010 - $3,106,000).
 
(iv) 
Other comprehensive loss is required to be presented under U.S. GAAP. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 other comprehensive loss was $2,507,000 (2010 - $1,319,000). The exchange gains and losses reported in other comprehensive loss under U.S. GAAP differ from those recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment under ASPE due to the decrease in the net assets of NAC under U.S. GAAP. Other comprehensive loss is reported as cumulative translation adjustment under ASPE.
