Note 1 — Organization

Organization

ATP Oil & Gas Corporation is engaged internationally in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our management team has extensive engineering, geological, geophysical, technical and operational expertise in developing and operating properties in both our current and planned areas of operation. In the Gulf of Mexico and in the U.K. and Dutch sectors of the North Sea (the “North Sea”), we seek to acquire and develop properties with proved undeveloped reserves (“PUD”) that are economically attractive to us but are not strategic to major or large independent exploration-oriented oil and gas companies. Occasionally we will acquire properties that are already producing or where previous drilling has encountered reservoirs that appear to contain commercially productive quantities of oil and gas even though the reservoirs do not meet the SEC definition of proved reserves. In the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, we believe that our strategy provides assets for us to develop and produce with an attractive risk profile at a competitive cost.

We recently acquired three licenses in the Mediterranean Sea covering potential natural gas resources in the deep water off the coast of Israel. In the Mediterranean Sea our licenses relate to exploratory prospects where drilling has occurred nearby and hydrocarbons have been discovered by others. Our capital investment in the Mediterranean Sea related to these three licenses is expected to be minimal for the remainder of 2011 as we prepare our exploration and development plans for drilling in 2012.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of our majority owned limited partnership, ATP Infrastructure Partners, L.P. (“ATP-IP”) and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries; ATP Energy, Inc.; ATP Oil & Gas (UK) Limited, or “ATP (UK);” ATP Oil & Gas (Netherlands) B.V.; ATP Titan LLC, four wholly owned limited liability companies created to own our interests in ATP-IP and ATP Titan LLC and four other wholly owned limited liability companies formed related to our operations in the Mediterranean Sea. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation, and we separate the redeemable noncontrolling interest in ATP-IP in the accompanying statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods. The interim financial information and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. We have reclassified certain amounts applicable to prior periods to conform to current classifications. These reclassifications do not affect earnings.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance which will result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We expect to adopt the provisions for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and we do not anticipate that this will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance which eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. For public entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. We expect to adopt the provisions for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and we do not anticipate that this will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 — Risks and Uncertainties

Our near-term operating and development plans in the Gulf of Mexico as well as our longer-term business plan are dependent on receiving additional approvals for deepwater drilling and other permits under applications which have been and will be submitted to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement of the Department of the Interior (“BOEM”). In the first quarter of 2011, we received permits to complete the drilling of the third well in Mississippi Canyon Block 941 at our Telemark Hub and to complete a well at Green Canyon Block 300. Completion activities on the third well at our Telemark Hub are underway. Also, while we believe we can satisfy the permitting requirements for the additional planned 2011 development wells, which we expect will allow us to increase significantly our production from current levels, there is no assurance that the permits will be issued or, if issued, that they will be received in time to benefit our 2011 results. Should the regulatory process in the Gulf of Mexico continue to cause delays, we believe we can continue to meet our existing obligations for at least the next twelve months based on forecasted production levels and the continuation of commodity sales prices and operating costs near current levels.

A substantial portion of our current production is concentrated among relatively few wells located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and in the North Sea, which are characterized by production declines more rapid than found in conventional onshore properties. As a result, we are particularly vulnerable to a near-term severe impact resulting from unanticipated complications in the development of, or production from, any single material well or infrastructure installation, including lack of sufficient capital, delays in receiving necessary drilling and operating permits, increased regulation, reduced access to equipment and services, mechanical or operational failures, and bad weather. Any unanticipated significant disruption to, or decline in, our current production levels or prolonged negative changes in commodity prices or operating cost levels could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and our ability to meet our commitments as they come due.

The size of our operations and our capital expenditures budget limit the number of properties that we can develop in any given year. We have historically obtained various other sources of funding to supplement our cash flow from operations and we will continue to pursue them in the future. There is no assurance, however, that these alternative sources will be available should these risks and uncertainties materialize.

We cannot predict how the authorities will further respond to the Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico or whether additional changes in laws and regulations governing oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico will result. New regulations already issued will, and potential future regulations or additional statutory limitations, if enacted or issued, could, require a change in the way we conduct our business, increase our costs of doing business or ultimately prohibit us from drilling for or producing hydrocarbons in the Gulf of Mexico. We cannot predict if or how the governments of other countries in which we operate will respond to the accident in the Gulf of Mexico. We incurred additional costs in 2010 caused by the deepwater drilling moratoriums and subsequent drilling permit delays and some of these additional costs are continuing into 2011 and are expected to continue.

We have financed a significant portion of our development program with transactions entered into with our vendors and financial institutions that either defer payments to future periods or will be repaid based on production throughput or from the revenues or net profits generated from future production. While these financing transactions have enabled us to continue the development of our properties and preserve cash, they will significantly burden the future net cash flows from our production until these obligations are satisfied. (See Note 7, “Other Long-term Obligations,” for further details.)

As an independent oil and gas producer, our revenue, profitability, cash flows, and future rate of growth are substantially dependent on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. Historically, the energy markets have been very volatile, and we expect such price volatility to continue. Any extended decline in oil or gas prices could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, the quantities of oil and gas reserves that we can economically produce, and may restrict our ability to obtain additional financing or to meet the contractual requirements of our debt and other obligations.

Our estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and the estimated future net revenues from such reserves are based upon various assumptions, including assumptions relating to oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The estimation process requires significant assumptions in the evaluation of available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Therefore, these estimates are inherently imprecise and the quality and reliability of this data can vary. Estimates of our oil and natural gas reserves and the costs and timing associated with developing these reserves are subject to change, and may differ materially from our estimates. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 81% of our total proved reserves were undeveloped. We intend to continue to develop these reserves through the end of the year and beyond, but there can be no assurance we will be successful. Development of these reserves may not yield the expected results, or the development may be delayed or the costs may exceed our estimates, any of which may materially affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and our ability to meet the requirements of our financing obligations.

Note 4 — Oil and Gas Properties

Acquisitions

During June 2011, we acquired interests in three deepwater licenses in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel. We will operate the licenses with working interests of 40%.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

During the second quarter of 2011, we recognized impairment expense of $45.7 related to two older properties South Timbalier 77 (acquired in 2005) and Eugene Island 30 (acquired in 1999). The impairment at South Timbalier 77 represents the majority of the expense and was primarily due to our decision not to move forward with a related capital program.

Note 5 — Income Taxes

Income taxes during interim periods are based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items that are recorded in the period the specific item occurs. We compute income taxes using an asset and liability approach, which results in the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis of those assets and liabilities. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for U.S. and Netherlands tax provision purposes, we have provided valuation allowances for the entirety of our net deferred tax assets based on our cumulative net losses coupled with the uncertainties surrounding our future earnings forecasts arising from the continued permitting delays in the Gulf of Mexico. The U.K. supplementary charge of corporation tax was increased from 20% to 32%, effective March 24, 2011. This change has not been reflected in the provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011 because it was not signed into law at that date; however, it is expected to affect U.K. results of operations once it is enacted. We recognized income tax benefit of $14.5 million and $57.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. We recognized income tax benefit of $5.4 million and $56.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The worldwide effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 22.3% and 43.1%, respectively. The worldwide effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 3.2% and 44.6%, respectively.

Net Profits Interests

Beginning in 2009, we have been granting dollar-denominated overriding royalty interests in the form of net profits interests (“NPIs”) in certain of our proved oil and gas properties in and around the Telemark Hub, Gomez Hub and Clipper to certain of our vendors in exchange for oil and gas property development services and to certain finance companies in exchange for cash proceeds. During April 2011, we closed an NPI transaction in the Telemark Hub for $40.0 million. The purchaser acquired an existing vendor NPI for $19.7 million, thereby extinguishing the existing NPI liability of $20.8 million, and contributed an additional $20.3 million toward the development of the Telemark Hub in exchange for a larger percentage of the net profits from production at the Telemark Hub that will continue until the purchaser recovers $40.0 million, plus an overall rate of return.

ATP OIL & GAS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The interests granted are paid solely from the net profits, as defined, of the subject properties. As the net profits increase or decrease, primarily through higher or lower production levels and higher or lower prices of oil and natural gas, the payments due the holders of the net profits interests increase or decrease accordingly. If there is no production from a property or if the net profits are negative during a payment period, no payment would be required. We also accrete the liability over the estimated term in which the NPI is expected to be settled using the effective interest method with related interest expense presented net of amounts capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The term of the NPIs is dependent on the value of the services contributed by these vendors or the cash proceeds contributed by the finance companies coupled with the timing of production and future economic conditions, including commodity prices and operating costs. Upon recovery of the agreed rate of return, the NPIs terminate. Because NPIs were granted on proved properties where production is reasonably assured, we have accounted for these NPI’s as financing obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As such, the reserves and production revenues associated with the NPIs are retained by the Company. We expect approximately 80% of the NPIs to be repaid over the next 18 months based on anticipated production, commodity prices and operating costs.

Dollar-denominated Overriding Royalty Interests

During April and June 2011, we sold, for an aggregate $50.0 million, two dollar-denominated overriding royalty interests (“Overrides”) in our Gomez Hub properties similar to those sold in 2009 and 2010. These Overrides obligate us to deliver proceeds from the future sale of hydrocarbons in the specified proved properties until the purchasers achieve a specified return. As the proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons increase or decrease, primarily through changes in production levels and oil and natural gas prices, the payments due the holders of the overriding royalty interests will increase or decrease accordingly. If there is no production from a property during a payment period, no payment would be required. The percentage of property revenues available to satisfy these obligations is dependent upon certain conditions specified in the agreement. Upon recovery of the agreed rate of return, the Overrides terminate and our interest increases accordingly. Because of the explicit rate of return, dollar-denomination and limited payment terms of the Overrides, they are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as financing obligations. As such, the reserves and production revenues are retained by the Company. Related interest expense is presented net of amounts capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We expect the Overrides to be repaid over approximately the next 24 months based on anticipated production and commodity prices.

Gomez Pipeline Obligation

In 2009, we sold to a third party for net proceeds of $74.5 million the oil and natural gas pipelines that service the Gomez Hub. In conjunction with the sale, we entered into agreements with the purchaser to transport our oil and natural gas production for the remaining production life of our fields serviced by the ATP Innovator production platform for a per-unit fee that is subject to a minimum monthly payment through December 31, 2016. Such minimum fees, if applicable, can be recovered by ATP in future periods within the same calendar year whenever fees owed during a month exceed the minimum due. We remain the operator of the pipeline and are responsible for all of the related operating costs. As a result of the retained asset retirement obligation and the purchaser’s option to convey the pipeline back to us at the end of the life of the fields in the Gomez Hub, the transaction has been accounted for as a financing obligation equal to the net proceeds received. This obligation is being amortized based on the estimated proved reserve life of the Gomez Hub properties using the effective interest method with related interest expense presented net of amounts capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All payments made in excess of the minimum fee in future periods will be reflected as interest expense of the financing obligation.

partially defer payments over a twelve-month period beginning with first production. We accrue the present value of the deferred payments and accrete the balance over the estimated term in which it is expected to be paid using the effective interest method with related interest expense presented net of amounts capitalized, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the U.K. North Sea, development of our interest in the Cheviot field continues. During February 2011, we entered into an amendment to our agreement for the construction and delivery of the Octabuoy hull and topside equipment. The amendment provided for additional deferrals totaling approximately $124.3 million and delayed the final payment until the second quarter of 2013. The amount due under the amended agreement in 2011 is $20.2 million with an aggregate $191.7 million due in 2012 and 2013. As work is completed and amounts are earned under the amended agreement, we record obligations and related interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The weighted average effective interest rate on our other long-term obligations was 17.9% at June 30, 2011.

Note 8 — Preferred Stock

In June 2011, we issued 1.7 million shares of convertible preferred stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and received net proceeds of $123.3 million ($90 per share before underwriters’ discounts and commissions, option contract costs (discussed below) and offering expenses). In conjunction with issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, we purchased for $26.5 million capped-call options (“Options”) to cover all 14.1 million shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and the preferred stock we issued in 2009. The Options allow us to prevent dilution due to common stock issuance upon preferred stock conversion up to a price per common share of $27.50. The shares of common stock acquireable under the Options are indexed to our common stock price at the time of exercise and the Options can only be settled in common stock. As a result, the purchase price of the Options is recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital within Shareholders’ Equity in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Series B Preferred Stock has terms and features which are substantially identical to the convertible preferred stock we issued in 2009 (collectively, the “Preferred Stock”). Each share of Preferred Stock is perpetual, has no voting rights, has a liquidation preference of $100, pays cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 8% and is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 4.5045 shares of common stock. After September 30, 2014, we have the option to force conversion to common stock provided that the prevailing common stock market price exceeds the conversion price by 150% on average for a stipulated period of time.

At June 30, 2011, a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity because, in the event of certain fundamental changes, as defined in the statement of resolutions, the Company could be required to issue in the aggregate more shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion ratio most favorable to the holders than currently are authorized and unissued (the “Common Share Shortfall”). The value of the temporary equity is deemed to be the number of shares of Preferred Stock that would account for such common share shortfall times the $86.83 fair value per share (net of issuance costs of $3.17 per share). This amount will be revalued in future reporting periods as the Common Share Shortfall changes, and at such time as we have sufficient authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy the most favorable conversion obligation possible under the statement of resolutions, this amount will be reclassified to permanent equity.

Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies

The development, production and sale of oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico and in the North Sea are subject to extensive laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations in each locality in which we operate. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that substantially increase our costs (see the discussion in Note 3, “Risks and Uncertainties”). Accordingly, any of these liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that we are in compliance with all of the laws and regulations which apply to our operations.

Under the provisions of our limited partnership agreement with ATP-IP, we could be required to repurchase the Class A limited partner interest if certain change of control events were to occur. If a change of control were to become probable in a future period, we would be required to adjust the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption amount, to the extent it differed from the carrying amount, at the time the change of control was deemed to be probable. We do not currently believe a change of control is probable.

We are a party to a multi-year (life of reserves) firm transportation agreement covering certain production in the North Sea that requires us to pay a pipeline tariff on our nominated contract quantity of natural gas during the contract period, whether or not the volumes are delivered to the pipeline. For any contract period where actual deliveries fall short of contract quantities, we can make up such amounts by delivering volumes over the subsequent four years free of tariff, within certain limitations. While we control our nominations, we are subject to the risk we may be required to prepay or ultimately pay transportation on undelivered volumes.

In the normal course of business, we occasionally purchase oil and gas properties for little or no up-front costs and instead commit to pay consideration contingent upon the successful development and operation of the properties. The contingent consideration generally includes amounts to be paid upon achieving specified operational milestones, such as first commercial production and again upon achieving designated cumulative sales volumes. At June 30, 2011, the aggregate amount of such contingent commitments related to unmet operational milestones was $8.9 million.

We maintain insurance to protect the Company and its subsidiaries against losses arising out of our oil and gas operations. Our insurance includes coverage for physical damage to our offshore properties, general (third party) liability, workers compensation and employers liability, seepage and pollution and other risks. Our insurance includes various limits and deductibles or retentions, which must be met prior to or in conjunction with recovery. Additionally, our insurance is subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of such policies. For losses emanating from offshore operations, ATP has up to an aggregate of $2.4 billion of various insurance coverages with individual policy limits ranging from $1.0 million to over $500 million each. While we maintain insurance levels, deductibles and retentions that we believe are prudent and responsible, there is no assurance that such coverage will adequately protect us against liability from all potential consequences and damages.

In general, our current insurance policies cover physical damage to our oil and gas assets. The coverage is designed to repair or replace assets damaged by insurable events.

Our excess liability policies generally provide coverage (dependent on the asset) for bodily injury and property damage, including coverage for negative environmental effects such as seepage and pollution. This liability coverage would cover claims for bodily injury or death brought against the company by or on behalf of individuals who are not employees of the company. The liability limits scale to either our operating interest or the total insured interest including nonoperating partners.

Our energy insurance package includes coverage for operator’s extra expense, which provides coverage for control of well, re-drill and pollution arising from a covered event. We maintain a $150 million Oil Spill Financial Responsibility policy in order to provide a Certificate of Financial Responsibility to the BOEM under the requirements of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Additionally, as noted above, our excess liability policies provide coverage (dependent on the asset) for bodily injury and property damage, including coverage for negative environmental effects such as seepage and pollution. Legislation has been proposed to increase the limit of the Oil Spill Financial Responsibility policy required for the certificate and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain this insurance should that happen.

The occurrence of a significant accident or other event not fully covered by our insurance could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. Our insurance does not protect us against all operational risks. We do not carry business interruption insurance at levels that would provide enough funds for us to continue operating without access to other funds. For some risks, we may not obtain insurance if we believe the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. Because third-party contractors and other service providers are used in our offshore operations, we may not realize the full benefit of worker’s compensation laws in dealing with their employees. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable.

On January 29, 2010, Bison Capital Corporation (“Bison”) filed suit against ATP in the United States District Court for the Southern district of New York alleging ATP owed fees totaling $102 million to Bison under a February 2004 agreement. The case was tried in January 2011. On March 8, 2011 the Court entered a judgment in favor of Bison for $1.65 million plus prejudgment interest and Bison’s reasonable attorney’s fees. ATP provided for this judgment in the financial statements as of December 31, 2010. Either party could file a notice of appeal within 30 days of the judgment. Subsequently, Bison gave notice that it will appeal the judgment and, thus, the case is still pending.

We are, in the ordinary course of business, involved in various other legal proceedings from time to time. Management does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings as of June 30, 2011, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Oil and gas property is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis upon impairment and when acquired in a nonmonetary property exchange. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded impairment expense of $45.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively, related to proved and unproved Gulf of Mexico properties. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded gain on nonmonetary property exchange of $12.0 related to proved Gulf of Mexico properties. The impairment charges reduce the oil and gas properties’ carrying values to their estimated fair values and are classified as Level 3. Fair value is calculated as the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to the assets. The gain on nonmonetary property exchange reflects the difference between the carrying value of the property surrendered and the estimated fair value of the property received, classified as Level 3, and is calculated based on the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to that asset.

The Company’s primary assumptions in preparing the estimated discounted future net cash flows to be recovered from oil and gas properties are based on (i) proved reserves and risk-adjusted probable and possible reserves, (ii) commodity forward-curve prices and assumptions as to costs and expenses, and (iii) the estimated discount rate that would be used by market participants to determine the fair value of the assets.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Overview

General

We seek to create value and reduce operating risks through the acquisition and subsequent development of properties in areas that typically have:

•

significant undeveloped reserves or nearby discoveries;

•

close proximity to developed markets for oil and natural gas;

•

existing infrastructure or the ability to install our own infrastructure of oil and natural gas pipelines and production/processing platforms;

•

opportunities to aggregate production and create operating efficiencies that capitalize upon our hub concept; and

•

a relatively stable regulatory environment for offshore oil and natural gas development and production.

In the Gulf of Mexico, and the North Sea, our focus is on acquiring properties that are noncore or nonstrategic to their current owners for a variety of reasons. For example, larger oil companies from time to time adjust their capital spending or shift their focus to exploration prospects they believe offer greater reserve potential. Some projects may provide lower economic returns to a company due to the cost structure and focus of that company. Also, due to timing or budget constraints, a company may be unwilling or unable to develop a property before the expiration of the lease. With our cost structure and acquisition strategy, it is not unusual for us to acquire a property at a cost that is less than the development costs incurred by the previous owner. This strategy, coupled with our expertise in our areas of focus and our ability to develop projects, tends to make our oil and gas property acquisitions more financially attractive to us than to the seller. Given our strategy of acquiring properties that contain proved reserves, or where previous drilling by others indicates to us the presence of recoverable hydrocarbons, our operations typically are lower risk than exploration-focused Gulf of Mexico and North Sea operators.

Since we operate a significant number of the properties in which we acquire a working interest, we are able to influence the plans and timing of a project’s development significantly. In addition, practically all of our properties have previously defined and targeted reservoirs, eliminating from our development plan the time necessary in typical exploration efforts to locate and determine the extent of oil and gas reservoirs. Without the exploration time constraint, we focus on developing projects in the shortest time possible between initial

significant investment and first revenue generated in order to maximize our rate of return. We may initiate new development projects by simultaneously obtaining the various required components such as the pipeline and the production platform or subsea well completion equipment.

Events that occurred in 2010 and regulations that were enacted in 2010 and 2011 have had a major impact on our operations and ability to move forward with development plans. On April 20, 2010, a semi-submersible drilling rig operating in the deepwater Outer Continental Shelf (“OCS”) in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, burned for two days and sank, resulting in an oil spill in Gulf of Mexico waters. In response to this crisis, the U.S. Department of the Interior (“DOI”), on May 6, 2010, instructed the predecessor of BOEM to stop issuing drilling permits for OCS wells and to suspend existing OCS drilling permits issued after April 20, 2010, until May 28, 2010, when a report on the accident was expected to be completed. On May 28, 2010, DOI issued a moratorium (“Moratorium I”), originally scheduled to last for six months, that essentially halted all drilling in water depths greater than 500 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. On June 7, 2010, a lawsuit was filed by several suppliers of services to Gulf of Mexico exploration and production companies challenging the legality of Moratorium I. This challenge was successful and on June 22, 2010, a Federal District Court issued a preliminary injunction preventing Moratorium I from taking effect. On July 8, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the DOI’s motion to stay the preliminary injunction against the enforcement of Moratorium I. On July 12, 2010, in response to the Court’s actions, the DOI issued a second moratorium (“Moratorium II”) originally scheduled to end on November 30, 2010 that (i) specifically superseded Moratorium I, (ii) suspended all existing operations in the Gulf of Mexico and other regions of the OCS utilizing a subsea blowout preventer (“BOP”) or a surface BOP on a floating facility, and (iii) suspended pending and future permits to drill wells involving the use of a subsurface BOP or a surface BOP on a floating facility. Several lawsuits challenging the legality of Moratorium II and, among other things, the BOEM’s handling of drilling permits and development plans were subsequently filed in different Federal District Courts, all of which have been consolidated into one case in a Federal District Court that is still pending. On October 12, 2010, the DOI lifted Moratorium II as to all deepwater drilling activity. While we had no ownership in the Macondo well and no direct costs associated with the Macondo well, we do focus on the deeper water of the Gulf of Mexico and have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the drilling moratoriums and related regulatory uncertainties.

The lifting of Moratorium II, however, did not remove all restrictions on offshore drilling. According to DOI’s order lifting Moratorium II, prior to receiving new permits to drill wells, OCS lessees and operators must first comply with an earlier notice to lessees and operators issued by the BOEM that requires additional testing, third-party verification, training for rig personnel, and governmental approvals to enhance well bore integrity and the operation of BOPs and other well control equipment used in OCS wells, (“NTL 2010-No.5”). NTL 2010-No.5 was set aside by the Federal District Court on October 19, 2010, as having been improperly issued by BOEM. The DOI’s order lifting Moratorium II, however, also requires OCS lessees and operators to comply with BOEM’s Interim Final Rule entitled “Increased Safety Measures for Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf (the “Safety Interim Final Rule”) issued in September 2010, before recommencing deepwater operations. In general, the Safety Interim Final Rule incorporates the terms of NTL 2010-No.5 and establishes new safety requirements relating to the design of wells and testing of the integrity of well bores, the use of drilling fluids, and the functionality and testing of BOPs. Longer term, OCS lessees and operators will be required to comply with the BOEM’s new Final Workplace Safety Rule, also issued by BOEM in September 2010. The Final Workplace Safety Rule requires all OCS operators to implement all of the formerly voluntary practices in the American Petroleum Institute’s Recommended Practice 75, which includes the development and maintenance of a Safety and Environmental Management System, within one year after the date of the rule. In addition to these two rules, before a permit will be issued, each operator must demonstrate that it has enforceable obligations that ensure that containment resources are available promptly in the event of a deepwater blowout. Although Moratorium II has been lifted and we have received two permits to develop wells at our Telemark and Clipper properties, we cannot predict with certainty when additional permits will be granted under the new requirements.

During the first quarter of 2011, we received a permit to resume drilling the Mississippi Canyon (“MC”) Block 941 #4 well in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The MC 941 #4 well is the third one at ATP’s Telemark

Hub (100% working interest) in 4,000 feet of water was drilled to approximately 12,000 feet and cased during 2009. During the second quarter of 2011 we completed the drilling portion of the well and are now finalizing completion operations. During the same quarter, we also received a permit to complete the previously drilled #2 well at Green Canyon (“GC”) Block 300 (“Clipper”) in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The GC Block 300 #2 well, located in 3,454 feet of water, was sidetracked and encountered a gas reservoir between 15,590 and 15,721 feet total vertical depth in 2006. ATP commenced well operations with the Diamond Ocean Victory drilling vessel in the second quarter 2011. The well is scheduled to be placed on production in the middle of 2012 after installation of a pipeline. We operate GC Block 300 with a 55% working interest.

During June 2011, we acquired interests in three deepwater licenses in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Israel. ATP will operate its licenses with working interests of 40%.

During the first six months of 2011, we also obtained significant additional financing and commitments to finance from term loans and other transactions. In the second quarter 2011, we conveyed dollar-denominated overriding royalty interests (“Overrides”) and dollar-denominated overriding royalty interests in the form of net profits interests (“NPIs”) in the Gomez Hub and the Telemark Hub for aggregate net proceeds of $70.3 million. These Overrides and NPIs obligate us to deliver a percentage of the proceeds from the future sale of hydrocarbons in the specified proved properties until the purchaser recovers its original investment, plus an overall rate of return. In June 2011 we also closed a perpetual preferred stock offering that provided net proceeds of $123.3 million, net of discount, related option contract costs and issuance costs. The details of these second quarter liquidity transactions are discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Risks and Uncertainties

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we reported net loss attributable to common shareholders of $56.9 million and $82.9 million, or $1.11 and $1.63 per diluted share, respectively.

Oil and Gas Production Revenues

Revenues presented in the table and the discussion below represent revenues from sales of oil and natural gas production volumes. The table below also includes oil and natural gas production revenues from amortization of deferred revenue in the first quarter of 2010 related to the second quarter 2008 sale of a limited-term overriding royalty interest. We do not reflect any production volumes associated with those revenues.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011
Production:
Oil and condensate (MBbl)		1,461		934		56	%
Natural gas (MMcf)		4,095		6,014		(32	%)

Total	$	172,883	$	101,099		71	%


Average realized sales price:
Oil and condensate (per Bbl)	$	103.48	$	70.12		48	%

Natural gas (per Mcf)		5.30		4.61		15	%
Gulf of Mexico (per Mcf)		4.81		4.47
North Sea (per Mcf)		8.79		5.41

Oil, condensate and natural gas (per Boe)		80.64		48.12		67	%
Gulf of Mexico (per Boe)		81.78		49.43
North Sea (per Boe)		53.26		33.12

Revenues from production increased in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a 11% increase in production and a 67% increase in average realized sales price. The production increase occurred in the Gulf of Mexico where we now have production from two wells at our Telemark Hub compared to only one well in the second quarter of 2010. The higher average realized sales price is due to increased commodity market prices.

Lease Operating

Lease operating expenses include costs incurred to operate and maintain wells. These costs include, among others, workover expenses, operator fees, processing fees and insurance. Lease operating expense was as follows (in thousands except per Boe amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011
Recurring operating expenses	$	24,300	$	25,650		(5	%)
Workover expenses		17,340		6,645		161	%

Lease operating	$	41,640	$	32,295		29	%


Recurring operating expenses per Boe	$	11.33	$	13.26		(15	%)
Gulf of Mexico		10.96		13.50		(19	%)
North Sea		20.43		10.08		103	%

Lease operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $9.3 million compared to the same period in 2010. The workover expenses in the second quarter of 2011 were primarily due to well work at our Gomez Hub. The workover expenses during the second quarter of 2010 were primarily due to hydrate remediation and facilities inspection activities on our Gomez Hub. Per unit costs changed primarily due to the effect of changing production volumes on fixed costs.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses are overhead-related expenses, including employee compensation, legal and accounting fees, insurance, and investor relations expenses. General and administrative expense was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011

General and administrative (in thousands)	$	10,166	$	8,060		26	%
Per Boe		4.74		4.16		14	%

General and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2011 increased $2.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to prospect generation costs and organization and startup costs of operations in Israel.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011

DD&A (in thousands)	$	74,318	$	60,115		24	%
Per Boe		34.66		31.02		12	%
Gulf of Mexico		34.49		30.54		13	%
North Sea		38.71		36.78		5	%

DD&A expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased $14.2 million compared to the same period during 2010 primarily due to the increase in production at our Telemark Hub. The per unit increase in the Gulf of Mexico is primarily a result of higher costs incurred on our new developments relative to some of our older properties. The per unit costs for the North Sea increased primarily due to the effect of having relatively more production from higher cost properties.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

During the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, we recognized impairment of proved Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties of $45.7 million and $3.9 million of unproved Gulf of Mexico properties, respectively. The second quarter 2011 impairment was primarily related to two older properties South Timbalier 77 (acquired in 2005) and Eugene Island 30 (acquired in 1999). The impairment at South Timbalier 77 represents the majority of the expense and was primarily due to our decision not to move forward with a related capital program. The second quarter 2010 impairment was associated with leases which were approaching their expiration dates and became unlikely to be drilled primarily due to the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Drilling Interruption Costs

Drilling interruption costs were $1.2 million and $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. They consist of stand-by costs for drilling operations at our Telemark and Gomez Hubs resulting from the deepwater drilling moratoriums and subsequent drilling permit delays caused by the April 2010 Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico. These costs are expected to continue.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased to $97.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $64.6 million in the second quarter of 2010. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 is net of capitalized interest of $6.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively (related to our Cheviot development in the U.K. in both periods). Our weighted average borrowing rate on our combined debt and long-term obligations was 16.5% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 13.5% for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in interest expense and our weighted average borrowing rate is primarily due to: (i) an approximate $507.5 million increase in our aggregate average balance outstanding of debt and other long term obligations in the second quarter of 2011 at a higher cost, on average, as compared to the comparable period in 2010 (see Note 6 - Long-term Debt and Note 7 - Other Long-term Obligations to the Consolidated Financial Statements); (ii) higher noncash interest resulting from the amortization of additional debt-related discounts and issuance costs; and (iii) an increase in interest expense on one of our dollar-denominated Overrides due to a reduction in the estimated repayment period of the Override as a result of greater than forecasted production from the underlying properties at higher than forecasted prices. A reduction in the expected time required to pay the obligation results in an increase in the investor’s internal rate of return and requires a corresponding change in the estimated amortization and associated interest expense we record on the obligation.

Derivative Income

Derivative income (expense) is related to net gains and losses associated with our oil and gas price derivative contracts and is as follows (in thousands):

	$	35,918		$	23,929

Gain (Loss) on Debt Extinguishment

Gain on debt extinguishment of $1.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was related to an NPI transaction in the Telemark Hub for $40.0 million. The third party purchaser acquired an existing vendor NPI from us for $19.7 million, thereby extinguishing the existing NPI liability of $20.8 million, and contributed an additional $20.3 million toward the development of the Telemark Hub in exchange for a larger percentage of the net profits from production at the Telemark Hub that will continue until the purchaser recovers $40.0 million, plus an overall rate of return.

Loss on debt extinguishment was $78.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to the second quarter refinancing of our previously outstanding term loans in which we charged to expense the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, debt discount related to the retired debt and repayment premiums.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

We recorded income tax benefit of $14.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulting in an overall effective tax rate of 22.3%. In each jurisdiction, the rates were determined based on our expectations of net income or loss for the year, taking into consideration permanent differences. As of June 30, 2011, for U.S. and Netherlands tax provision purposes, we have provided valuation allowances for the entirety of our net deferred tax assets based on our cumulative net losses coupled with the uncertainties surrounding our future earnings forecasts arising from the effects of permitting delays in the Gulf of Mexico. In the comparable quarter of 2010 we recorded income tax benefit of $57.8 million resulting in an overall effective tax rate of 43.1%.

Income Attributable to the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the 49% Class A limited partner interest in ATP Infrastructure Partners, LP (“ATP-IP”).

Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends

Convertible preferred stock dividends represent declared dividends payable in cash or common stock, at the option of the Company, due for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock provide for cumulative preferred dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the $312.5 million aggregate liquidation value as of June 30, 2011 and $140.0 million as of June 30, 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 we reported net loss attributable to common shareholders of $176.4 million and $83.8 million, or $3.46 and $1.66 per diluted share, respectively.

Oil and Gas Production Revenues

Revenues presented in the table and the discussion below represent revenues from sales of oil and natural gas production volumes. The table below also includes oil and natural gas production revenues from amortization of deferred revenue in the first six months of 2010 related to the second quarter 2008 sale of a limited-term overriding royalty interest. We do not reflect any production volumes associated with those revenues.


	Six Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011
Production:
Oil and condensate (MBbl)		3,061		1,806		69	%

Gulf of Mexico (per Boe)		76.71		52.93
North Sea (per Boe)		52.50		33.83

Revenues from production increased in 2011 compared to 2010 due to a 31% increase in production and a 48% increase in average realized sales price. The production increase occurred in the Gulf of Mexico where

we now have production from two wells at our Telemark Hub and where our Canyon Express property has been returned to production. The higher average realized sales price is due to increased commodity market prices.

Lease Operating


	Six Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011
Recurring operating expenses	$	49,280	$	43,816		12	%
Workover expenses		24,767		18,114		37	%

Lease operating	$	74,047	$	61,930		20	%


Recurring operating expenses per Boe	$	10.99	$	12.78		(14	%)
Gulf of Mexico		10.80		13.02		(17	%)
North Sea		15.23		10.08		51	%

Lease operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $12.1 million compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in recurring operating expense was primarily due to the new production from the Telemark Hub. The workover expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were primarily due to hydrate remediation activities, hull repair work and well work at our Telemark Hub and Gomez Hub properties. The workover expenses for the same period in 2010 were primarily due to hydrate remediation activities on our Canyon Express pipeline which enabled us to commence production at our Kings Peak (MC Block 217) well and to re-establish production from two wells at Aconcagua (MC Block 305). Per unit costs changed primarily due to the effect of changing production volumes on fixed costs.

General and Administrative


	Six Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011

General and administrative (in thousands)	$	19,902	$	18,623		7	%
Per Boe		4.44		5.42		(18	%)

General and administrative expense in the first six months of 2011 has increased compared to the first six months of 2010 primarily due to prospect generation costs and organization and startup costs of operations in Israel. The per unit cost has decreased primarily due to the effect of increased production.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense was as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,				% Change from 2010
	2011		2010		to 2011

DD&A (in thousands)	$	153,638	$	96,116		60	%
Per Boe		34.25		27.96		22	%
Gulf of Mexico		34.12		27.24		25	%
North Sea		37.05		35.39		5	%

DD&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased $57.5 million compared to the same period during 2010 primarily due to the increase in production at our Telemark Hub. The per unit increase in the Gulf of Mexico is primarily a result of higher costs incurred on our new developments relative to some of our older properties and the recognition of straight-line depreciation on our ATP Titan production platform which was placed into service at the beginning of the second quarter of 2010. The per-unit costs for the North Sea increased primarily due to the effect of having relatively more production from higher cost properties.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties

During the first six months of 2011 and 2010, we recognized impairment of proved Gulf of Mexico oil and gas properties of $45.7 million and $12.1 million ($7.6 million related to proved properties and $4.5 million related to unproved properties), respectively. The impairment in the first six months of 2011 was primarily related to two older properties South Timbalier 77 (acquired in 2005) and Eugene Island 30 (acquired in 1999). The impairment at South Timbalier 77 represents the majority of the expense and was primarily due to our decision not to move forward with a related capital program. The impairment of unproved properties in the first six months of 2010 was associated with leases which were approaching their expiration dates and became unlikely to be drilled primarily due to the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. The impairment on proved properties in the first six months of 2010 represented the remaining carrying costs of those properties and was primarily due to relinquishment of the leases.

Drilling Interruption Costs

Drilling interruption costs were $19.7 million and $8.7 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. They consist of stand-by costs for drilling operations at our Telemark and Gomez Hubs resulting from the deepwater drilling moratoriums and subsequent drilling permit delays caused by the April 2010 Macondo incident in the Gulf of Mexico. These costs are expected to continue.

Gain on Exchange/Disposal of Properties

During January 2010, we consummated a nonmonetary exchange of our 10% nonoperated working interest in MC Block 800, for an incremental 50% working interest in MC Block 754, both proved undeveloped properties. The consolidated financial statements reflect the incremental interest acquired in MC Block 754 at fair value and removal of the carrying costs of MC Block 800, resulting in recognition of a $12.0 million gain.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased to $172.5 million in 2011 compared to $76.9 million in 2010. Interest expense in 2011 and 2010 is net of capitalized interest of $11.5 million and $46.2 million, respectively ($40.3 related to our Telemark development in 2010 and $11.5 and $5.9 related to our Cheviot development in the U.K. in 2011 and 2010 respectively). Our weighted average borrowing rate on our combined debt and long-term obligations was 14.9% in 2011 compared to 13.4% for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in interest expense and our weighted average borrowing rate is primarily due to: (i) an approximate $637.4 million increase in our aggregate average balance outstanding of debt and other long term obligations in the six months ended June 30, 2011 at a higher cost, on average, as compared to the comparable period in 2010 (see Note 6 - Long-term Debt and Note 7 - Other Long-term Obligations to the Consolidated Financial Statements); (ii) higher noncash interest resulting from the amortization of additional debt-related discounts and issuance costs; and (iii) an increase in interest expense on one of our dollar denominated Overrides due to a reduction in the estimated remaining repayment period of the Override as a result of greater than forecasted production from the underlying properties at higher than forecasted prices . A reduction in the expected time required to pay the obligation results in an increase in the investor’s internal rate of return and requires a corresponding change in the estimated amortization and associated interest expense we record on the obligation.

Derivative Income

Derivative income (expense) is related to net gains and losses associated with our oil and gas price derivative contracts and is as follows (in thousands):

	$	(14,344	)	$	27,464

Gain (Loss) on Debt Extinguishment

Gain on debt extinguishment of $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was related to an NPI transaction in the Telemark Hub for $40.0 million. The third party purchaser acquired an existing vendor NPI from us for $19.7 million, thereby extinguishing the existing NPI liability of $20.8 million, and contributed an additional $20.3 million toward the development of the Telemark Hub in exchange for a larger percentage of the net profits from production at the Telemark Hub that will continue until the purchaser recovers $40.0 million, plus an overall rate of return.

Loss on debt extinguishment was $78.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was due to the second quarter refinancing of our previously outstanding term loans in which we charged to expense the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs, debt discount related to the retired debt and repayment premiums.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

We recorded income tax benefit of $5.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulting in an overall effective tax rate of 3.2%. In each jurisdiction, the rates were determined based on our expectations of net income or loss for the year, taking into consideration permanent differences. As of June 30, 2011, for U.S. and Netherlands tax provision purposes, we have provided valuation allowances for the entirety of our net deferred tax assets based on our cumulative net losses coupled with the uncertainties surrounding our future earnings forecasts arising from the effects of permitting delays in the Gulf of Mexico. In the comparable period of 2010 we recorded income tax benefit of $56.4 million resulting in an overall effective tax rate of 44.6%.

Income Attributable to the Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Income attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the 49% Class A limited partner interest in ATP-IP.

Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends

Convertible preferred stock dividends represent declared dividends payable in cash or common stock, at the option of the Company, due for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock provide for cumulative preferred dividends at the annual rate of 8% of the $312.5 million aggregate liquidation value as of June 30, 2011 and $140.0 million as of June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our acquisition and development activities through a combination of bank borrowings, proceeds from equity offerings, cash from operations, the sale or conveyance of interests in selected properties and vendor financings. Our ongoing cash requirements consist primarily of servicing our debt and other obligations and funding development of our oil and gas reserves. So far in 2011, we have obtained additional financing from term loans and other sources as discussed below.

As discussed above, during the first quarter 2011, we received a permit from the BOEM to drill a third well at our Telemark Hub and drilling is already underway. It is our intention to bring the well on production in the third quarter of 2011, however, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so. We believe we can continue to meet our existing obligations for at least the next twelve months based on forecasted production levels and the continuation of commodity sales prices and operating costs near current levels. The size of our operations and our capital expenditures budget limit the number of properties that we can develop in any given year and a substantial portion of our current production is concentrated among relatively few wells located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico and in the North Sea, which are characterized by rapid production declines. As a result, we are particularly vulnerable to a near-term severe impact resulting from unanticipated complications in the development of, or production from, any single material well or infrastructure installation, including lack of sufficient capital, delays in receiving necessary drilling and operating permits, increased regulation, reduced access to equipment and services, mechanical or operational failures, and bad weather. Any unanticipated significant disruption to, or decline in, our current production levels or negative changes in current commodity prices or operating cost levels could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and our ability to meet our commitments as they come due. We have historically obtained various other sources of funding to supplement our cash flow from operations and we will continue to pursue them in the future, however, there is no assurance that these alternative sources will be available should these risks and uncertainties materialize.

Our longer-term liquidity is also dependent on our ability to bring the fourth well at Telemark on production and continuing to operate in the Gulf of Mexico, which we expect will generate sufficient cash flows to fund subsequent development projects and service our long-term debt and other obligations. Our longer-term liquidity is also dependent on the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas which have historically been very volatile. To mitigate future price volatility, we may continue to hedge the sales price of a portion of our future production.

During March 2011, we entered into First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement and Limited Waiver, relating to our Term Loan Facility– ATP Titan assets to, among other things, modify the conditions precedent for incremental borrowings drawn under the facility. Additional borrowings were $50.0 million ($44.2 million, net of transactions costs and discount).

During April and June 2011, we conveyed for an aggregate $50.0 million, two dollar-denominated Overrides in the MC711 Hub. These Overrides obligate us to deliver a percentage of the proceeds from the future sale of hydrocarbons in the specified proved properties until the purchaser achieves a specified return.

Also during April 2011, we closed an NPI transaction in the Telemark Hub for $40.0 million. The purchaser acquired an existing vendor NPI for $19.7 million, thereby extinguishing the existing NPI liability of $20.8 million, and contributed an additional $20.3 million toward the development of the Telemark Hub in exchange for a larger percentage of the net profits from production at the Telemark Hub that will continue until the purchaser recovers an overall specified rate of return.

We have conveyed to certain vendors and financial parties dollar-denominated net profits interests and overriding royalty interests in our Telemark Hub, Gomez Hub and Clipper oil and gas properties in exchange for development services, equipment and cash. We have also negotiated with certain other vendors involved in

the development of the Telemark Hub to partially defer payments until after the beginning of production. These net profits interests and deferrals allow us to match our development cost cash flows with those from production. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we paid $173.3 million of interest charges and principal related to our other long-term obligations, which is dramatically increased from the comparable period in 2010 due to increased production and higher oil prices. See Other Long-term Obligations discussion below.

In the remainder of 2011, we anticipate incurring $250 million to $300 million in total capital expenditures, of which approximately $100 million will be cash with the balance contributed by vendors through existing NPI or deferral programs. Because of the uncertainty associated with the regulatory environment, our capital expenditures could increase or decrease from these levels. As operator of most of our

projects under development, we have the ability to control the timing and extent of most of our capital expenditures should future market conditions warrant. During 2011, we plan to finance anticipated expenses, debt service, development and abandonment requirements with cash on hand, funds generated by operating activities, the committed property conveyance and capital market transactions described above; and, potentially, proceeds from other capital market transactions, other financings and possible sales of assets.

Cash Flows


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011			2010
Cash provided by (used in) (in thousands):
Operating activities	$	42,289		$	(17,789	)
Investing activities		(176,358	)		(377,712	)
Financing activities		164,296			493,039

We had working capital deficits of approximately $143.7 million and $106.1 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities during the first six months of 2011 and 2010 was $42.3 million and $(17.8) million, respectively. Cash flow from operating activities has increased primarily due to increased oil and gas revenues related to increased production and commodity prices, partially offset by increased interest and operating costs and working capital outflows.

Cash used in investing activities was $176.4 million and $377.7 million during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the first six months of 2011, cash expended in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea/East Mediterranean for additions to oil and gas properties was approximately $62.9 million and $106.1 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2010, cash expended in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea for additions to oil and gas properties was approximately $354.0 million and $23.3 million, respectively. During the first six months of 2011, we also transferred $7.2 million of cash to restricted accounts.

Cash provided by financing activities was $164.3 million and $493.0 million during the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount in 2011 is primarily related to $174.7 million of proceeds from term loans and other long-term obligations and $123.3 million net proceeds from our Series B preferred stock offering, partially offset by $118.2 million payments of other long-term liabilities, short-term notes and term loans. The amount in the first six months of 2010 is primarily related to $336.4 million net proceeds from a debt refinancing, $46.0 million net proceeds from our prior revolving credit facility, $170.6 million proceeds net of costs from sales of limited-term overriding royalty interests and net profit interests, partially offset by principal payments of Term Loans and other long-term obligations.

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):


	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010

Other long-term obligations	$	438,207		$	472,500

Net Profits Interests

Dollar-denominated Overriding Royalty Interests

sale of hydrocarbons increase or decrease, primarily through changes in production levels and oil and natural gas prices, the payments due the holders of the overriding royalty interests will increase or decrease accordingly. If there is no production from a property during a payment period, no payment would be required. The percentage of property revenues available to satisfy these obligations is dependent upon certain conditions specified in the agreement. Upon recovery of the agreed rate of return, the Overrides terminate and our interest increases accordingly. Because of the explicit rate of return, dollar-denomination and limited payment terms of the Overrides, they are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as financing obligations. As such, the reserves and production revenues are retained by the Company. Related interest expense is presented net of amounts capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We expect the Overrides to be repaid over approximately the next 24 months based on anticipated production and commodity prices.

Gomez Pipeline Obligation

In 2009, we sold to a third party for net proceeds of $74.5 million the oil and natural gas pipelines that service the Gomez Hub at MC Block 711. In conjunction with the sale, we entered into agreements with the purchaser to transport our oil and natural gas production for the remaining production life of our fields serviced by the ATP Innovator production platform for a per-unit fee that is subject to a minimum monthly payment through December 31, 2016. Such minimum fees, if applicable, can be recovered by ATP in future periods within the same calendar year whenever fees owed during a month exceed the minimum due. We remain the operator of the pipeline and are responsible for all of the related operating costs. As a result of the retained asset retirement obligation and the purchaser’s option to convey the pipeline back to us at the end of the life of the fields in the Gomez Hub, the transaction has been accounted for as a financing obligation equal to the net proceeds received. This obligation is being amortized based on the estimated proved reserve life of the Gomez Hub properties using the effective interest method with related interest expense presented net of amounts capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. All payments made in excess of the minimum fee in future periods will be reflected as interest expense of the financing obligation.

Vendor Deferrals

In the Gulf of Mexico, in addition to the NPIs exchanged for development services described above, we have negotiated with certain other vendors involved in the development of the Telemark and Gomez Hubs to partially defer payments over a twelve-month period beginning with first production. We accrue the present value of the deferred payments and accrete the balance over the estimated term in which it is expected to be paid using the effective interest method with related interest expense presented net of amounts capitalized, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The weighted average effective interest rate on our other long-term obligations was 17.9% at June 30, 2011.

(1)	Interest is based on rates and principal repayment requirements in effect at June 30, 2011.

(2)	Included here are $100.3 million of contractual amounts that we have committed to pay that are not yet incurred.

Excluded from the table above are the following:

•

Net profits interests payable and overriding royalty interests payable of $325.0 million and $54.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011 that are payable only from the future cash flows of specified properties. The ultimate amount and timing of the payments will depend on production from the properties and future commodity prices and operating costs. We expect approximately 80% of the NPIs to be repaid over the next 18 months and all of such overriding royalty interests to be repaid over approximately the next 24 months based on projected production, commodity prices and operating costs.

•

Dividends on our 8% convertible perpetual preferred stock, which are approximately $25.0 million per year. These dividends are payable in cash or stock at the Company’s option.

•

Asset retirement obligations ($47.9 million current and $114.6 million long-term) at June 30, 2011. The ultimate settlement of such obligations is uncertain because they are subject to, among other things, federal, state, and local regulation, economic and operational factors.

•

Contingent consideration of $8.9 million to be paid by us upon achieving specified operational milestones because the ultimate amount and timing of the payments will depend on production from the specified properties and future commodity prices.

Commitments and Contingencies

Management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for some time. We are involved in actions from time to time, which if determined adversely, could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Management, with the assistance of counsel makes estimates, if determinable, of our probable liabilities and records such amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Such estimates may be the minimum amount of a range of probable loss when no single best estimate is determinable. Disclosure is made, when determinable, of any additional possible amount of loss on these claims, or if such estimate cannot be made, that fact is disclosed. Along with our counsel, we monitor developments related to these legal matters and, when appropriate, we make adjustments to recorded liabilities to reflect current facts and circumstances. See Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for additional discussion.

Accounting Pronouncements

See the discussion in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts or assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those disclosed on our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K .

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates on our ATP Titan assets—Term Loan Facility. Otherwise, we have no exposure to changes in interest rates because the interest rates on our other long-term debt instruments are fixed.

Foreign Currency Risk

The net assets, net earnings and cash flows from our wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.K. and the Netherlands are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in the applicable functional currency. These foreign operations have the potential to impact our financial position due to fluctuations in the value of the local currency arising from the process of re-measuring the local functional currency in U.S. dollars.

Commodity Price Risk

Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend substantially on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can economically produce. We currently sell a portion of our oil and natural gas production under market price contracts. We periodically use derivative instruments to hedge our commodity price risk. We hedge a portion of our projected oil and natural gas production through a variety of financial and physical arrangements intended to support oil and natural gas prices at targeted levels and to manage our exposure to price fluctuations. We may use futures contracts, swaps, put options, price collars and fixed-price physical forward contracts to hedge our commodity prices.

During the first quarter of 2011, we sold certain natural gas call options in exchange for a premium from the counterparty. At the time of settlement of a call option, if the market price exceeds the fixed price of the call option, the Company pays the counterparty such excess. If the market price settles below the fixed price of the call option, no payment is due from either party. Cash settlements of our derivative instruments are generally classified as operating cash flows unless the derivative contains a significant financing element at contract inception, in which case these cash settlements are classified as financing cash flows in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 12, “Derivative Instruments and Risk Management Activities,” to Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not hold or issue significant derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of June 30,

2011 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that ATP’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by ATP in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to ATP’s management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we have made no change to our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Forward-looking Statements and Associated Risks

This Quarterly Report contains projections and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These projections and statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. A discussion of these factors is included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
