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, and common stock options. The total number of potentially dilutive securities at June 30, 2011 was 15,846,191. There were 11,793,934 potentially dilutive securities outstanding at June 30, 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 June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

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, Eureka Hunter Pipeline Partners, LLC, Hunter Real Estate, LLC, NGAS Hunter, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition Company I, LLC), Magnum Hunter Production, Inc., Magnum Hunter Resources GP, LLC, Magnum Hunter Resources LP, MHR Callco Corporation, MHR Exchangeco Corporation, Williston Hunter Canada, Inc., Williston Hunter, Inc., Williston Hunter N D, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition II, LLC), NGAS Gathering, LLC, Sentra Corporation, Energy Hunter Securities, Inc (f/k/a NGAS Securities, Inc) 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 properties.
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 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, further clarifying how to measure and disclose fair value. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended. The amendment is effective for the Company at the beginning of January 2012, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income which amended requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI), requiring presentation of comprehensive income in either a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or on separate but consecutive statements, the statement of operations and the statement of OCI. The amendment is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2013 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and will only impact the presentation of OCI on the financial statements.
NOTE 4 — 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 June 30, 2011 and 2010:
Level 1 Classification:
Available for Sale Securities
At June 30, 2011, the Company held common stock of a company publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange with quoted prices in active markets. Accordingly, the fair market value measurements of these securities have been classified as Level 1.
Level 2 Classification:
Derivative Instruments
At June 30, 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

Table of Contents

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 7 — Financial Instruments and Derivatives, for additional information.
As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s derivative contracts were with major financial institutions, all 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 5 — ACQUISITIONS
Triad
On February 12, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of privately-held Triad Energy Corporation and certain of its affiliated entities (collectively, “Triad”) from bankruptcy, resulting in approximately five months of operating activity for these assets for the six months ended June 30, 2010. See our 2010 annual report on form 10-K, as amended, for details.
PostRock
On December 24, 2010, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and Triad Hunter, LLC entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Post Rock, pursuant to which Triad Hunter, LLC agreed to acquire certain oil and gas properties and leasehold mineral interests and related assets located in Wetzel and Lewis Counties, West Virginia. The Purchase Agreement provided for the acquisition to be completed in three phases for total consideration of $49.3 million consisting of 50% common stock and 50% cash for the first two phases, and 100% cash for the third phase. Both of the two initial phases were effective as of November 1, 2010.
The first phase of the acquisition closed on December 30, 2010. See our 2010 annual report on form 10-K, as amended, for details.
On January 14, 2011, we closed the second phase of the PostRock acquisition, the Lewis County assets, for total consideration of approximately $13.3 million which consisted of 946,314 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and a cash payment of approximately $5.8 million.

On June 16, 2011, we closed the third phase of the PostRock acquisition comprising assets located in Wetzel and Lewis Counties for a total purchase price of $4.9 million in cash before considering applicable adjustments.
Wetzel County, West Virginia Asset Acquisition
On April 7, 2011, the Company purchased oil and gas properties and related assets located in Wetzel County, West Virginia. The assets purchased included approximately 4,451 gross acres (2,225 net acres) of oil and gas leases and mineral interests and existing wells with proven reserves.
We acquired the assets for a total purchase price of $20.0 million, payable in cash and customary purchase price adjustments. Subject to the indemnification obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we assumed certain customary liabilities in connection with the acquisition.
NGAS
On April 13, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of NGAS Resources, Inc, (“NGAS”) for total consideration of approximately $124.5 million consisting of $15.3 million in cash, $53.1 million in debt assumed, 6,986,104 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $55.8 million based on the closing stock price of $7.99 on April 13, 2011, and $1.2 million in warrant liability, of which $1.0 million was paid out upon exercise of the cash option, and included in the cash consideration, and 138,388 warrants are outstanding that are exercisable for common stock of the Company. Including the repayment at closing of debt assumed, total cash payments in connection with the acquisition were $62.3 million. The Company has liquidated NGAS into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, NGAS Hunter, LLC, and changed the name of its subsidiary NGAS Production Co. to Magnum Hunter Production, Inc, and another subsidiary, NGAS Securities, Inc. to Energy Hunter Securities, Inc.
The fair value of the net assets acquired, based on our preliminary assessment, approximated the $124.5 million in total consideration paid.

NOTE 7 — 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 directly 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 and natural gas 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 the applicable accounting standards.
As of June 30, 2011, we had the following derivative instruments in place:

NOTE 8 — 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.

Notes Payable
On April 13, 2011 the Company assumed various notes payable for equipment and a building upon the closing of the acquisition of NGAS. The promissory notes have maturity dates ranging from September 2012 to April 2021 and bear interest rates of 0.00% to 5.875%. As of June 30, 2011, there was $6.1 million outstanding on these promissory notes.
Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility
On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (the “Senior Credit Facility” or “revolving credit facility”). The Senior Credit Facility amended and restated, in its entirety, that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 12, 2010.
The Senior Credit Facility 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, which closed on May 3, 2011. The Senior Credit 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 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 Senior Credit Facility 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 Senior Credit Facility 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 facility.
The obligations of the Company under the facility 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 facility 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 additional liens were granted on the properties acquired upon the closing of the NuLoch acquisition.
In connection with the facility, 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 facility are unconditionally guaranteed by such unrestricted subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had loans outstanding under the facility of $139 million.

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our results of operations and our financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain additional information that should be referred to when reviewing this material. Certain statements in this discussion may be forward-looking. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in this report. A glossary containing the meaning of the oil and gas industry terms used in this Management’s discussion and analysis follows the “Results of operations” table in this Item 2.
Cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements
Various statements in this report, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future reserves, production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words “will,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” or their negatives, other similar expressions or the statements that include those words, it usually is a forward-looking statement.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors.

In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. We caution all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this report are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to the factors detailed below and discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and subsequent filings. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf. The risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:
  global economic and financial market conditions,
 
  our business strategy,
 
  estimated quantities of oil and gas reserves,
 
  uncertainty of commodity prices in oil and gas,

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, Texas, and Louisiana in the United States and in Canada in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. 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 proved reserves, production, and percentage of operated properties has increased substantially, its inventory of acreage and drilling locations in resource plays has grown substantially, 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.

The Senior Credit Facility amended and restated, in its entirety, that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 12, 2010, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, Capital One, N.A., as Syndication Agent, BMO Capital Markets and Capital One, N.A., as Co-Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, and the lenders party thereto. New participating banks that have been added to the facility are Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse AG, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, and Union Bank, N.A.
The Senior Credit Facility 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 increased to $145 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NuLoch Resources, Inc. (“NuLoch”), which closed on May 3, 2011. The Senior Credit 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 terms of the Senior Credit Facility provide that 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 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 Senior Credit Facility 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 facility 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 including the excess availability in its credit facility; (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

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 facility).
Subject to certain permitted liens, the Company’s obligations under the facility 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 facility, 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 facility are unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries.
On July 13, 2011, the Company entered into the first amendment of the Senior Credit Facility to increase our borrowing base available under the Senior Credit Facility by $25 million from $145 million to $170 million effective June 30, 2011, an increase of 17% in the borrowing base. The applicable interest rate margin of the Senior Credit Facility will range from 2.50% to LIBOR plus 3.50%, depending on the amount drawn at any given time on the Senior Credit Facility. Other amendments to the facility include the elimination of interest rate floor provisions and the ability to increase the borrowing base to $177.5 million provided the Company enters into certain hedging positions as provided in the amendment to the facility.
Cash Raised Through Equity Financings. We raised substantial cash in the total amount of $113.6 million gross proceeds through equity transactions in 2011 through August 5, 2011. Those transactions included:
    $14.2 million in gross proceeds from common equity issuance in 2011 through August 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 August 5, 2011
 
    $5.8 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of warrants and common stock options for 2011 through August 5, 2011
 
    $63.8 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of our 8.0% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock for 2011 through August 5, 2011
We plan to continue raising both preferred and common equity in the future depending on our capital expenditures program acquisition activities and market conditions.

Three Months Ending June 30, 2011 and 2010
Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production increased 255% to 450 MBoe for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 127 MBoe for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Production for the 2011 period was approximately 46% oil and NGLs and 54% natural gas compared to 67% oil and 33% natural gas for the 2010 period. Our average daily production on a Boe basis increased 255% to 4,947 Boe per day for the 2011 period compared to 1,393 Boe per day for the 2010 period. The increase in production is primarily attributable to the results of the acquisitions of NGAS and NuLoch as well as our drilling program in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shales in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first half of 2011. Eagle Ford and Marcellus production accounted for 70 and 73 Mboe, respectively, of the production increase in the second quarter of 2011. Additional production increases are due to the inclusion of the production from NGAS and NuLoch acquisitions, which resulted in change of approximately 136 and 29 Mboe, respectively. Production from the acquired NuLoch wells was approximately 30.1 MBoe lower than normal due to adverse weather related shut-in of wells. We successfully completed 4 gross (1.96 net) horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 2 gross (0.83 net) wells in the Marcellus Shale during the three months ended June 30, 2011. We experienced production declines of 6 Mboe in our Williston Basin production, 1 Mboe in our Gulf Coast production, and 5 Mboe in our other South Texas properties. Weather related shut-in of wells caused production to be 22.2 Mboe lower than normal at our Williston Basin properties. We expect our oil and gas production to continue to increase during the remainder of 2011 due to our acquisition of both NGAS and NuLoch in the second quarter of 2011 as well as our continued drilling programs, we anticipate to increase production from drilling operations for the remainder of 2011.
Oil and gas sales. Oil and gas sales increased $19 million, or 275%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $26 million from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 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 $25.53 per barrel (36%) to $96.42 per barrel, while the average price received for gas production increased $1.44 per Mcf (38%) to $5.23 per Mcf. Of the $19 million increase in oil and gas sales, approximately $7 million, or 35%, was attributable to an increase in oil and gas prices, while approximately $12 million, or 65% 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 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.)
Field operations revenue and expense. Field operations revenue increased 313% to approximately $5.8 million as compared to $1.4 million in the 2010 period. Field operations expense was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. As a result, net field service income increased by $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the 2010 period. Approximately $1.6 million of the increase in income resulted from the operations of the Eureka Hunter subsidiary. Another $903,000 of the increase resulted from the gas compression and transportation activities of the NGAS Hunter subsidiary for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Field service revenue 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 $4.5 million, or 151%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $7.4 million ($16.42 per Boe) from $2.9 million ($23.24 per Boe) for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decline in the operating expense per Boe is due to the effect of adding new production from lower cost resource plays and acquisition of producing assets.
Severance taxes and marketing. Our severance taxes increased $1.2 million, or 198%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $1.8 million from $587,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. All of the increase in severance taxes was attributable to the increase in oil and gas production. Marketing expenses decreased by $101,000, or 76%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $33,000 from $133,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to production declines at our existing Williston Basin properties.
Exploration expense. We incurred $423,000 of exploration expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $359,000 for the three months ended June 30, 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 $7.9 million, or 275%, to $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to increased production in the 2011 period. Our DD&A per Boe increased by $1.27, or 5.6%, to $24.02 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $22.75 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 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 $17.2 million, or 265%, to $24 million ($52.67 per Boe) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.5 million ($51.31 per Boe) for the three months ended June 30, 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 $10.6 million for the 2011 period and $2.8 million for the 2010 period. Also included in G&A in the 2011 period are acquisition related costs of approximately $6.1 million which were for legal, consulting and other costs related to the acquisitions of NGAS, Nuloch, and the PostRock assets in the second quarter of 2011. Acquisition expenses incurred in the 2010 period of $90,000 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 for recurring, cash G&A expenses to begin 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 $2.9 million, or 277% to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Approximately $2.3 million of this increase is the result of a non-cash write off of the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees from the credit facility that was replaced by the Senior Credit Facility in April of 2011. The remaining $300,000 of the increase was substantially the result of our higher average debt level during 2011 partially offset by lower interest rates.
Commodity derivative activities. Realized gains and losses from our commodity derivative activity decreased our earnings by approximately $517,000 and increased our earnings by approximately $602,000 for the three months ended June 30, 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 gain on commodity derivatives was approximately $3.2 million for the 2011 period and $676,000 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 gain of approximately $2.7 million and a gain of approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.)
Deferred tax benefit. The Company recorded a deferred tax benefit at the applicable statutory rates of $197,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the operating loss incurred by Williston Hunter Canada, Inc, and Williston Hunter, Inc during the period. These entities recorded the deferred tax benefit because they are separate tax entities from Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its other subsidiaries. There are no deferred tax benefits recorded for Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its U.S. based subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2011.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $84,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus a loss of $2,000 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 $15.0 million for the 2011 period versus a loss of $6.2 million for the 2010 period, an increase of $8.8 million, or 142% This was due to an increase in operating loss of $7.5 million and interest expense of $2.9 million offset by an increase in gain on derivative contracts of $1.4 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 $955,000 of Cinco Terry operating income less interest expense to discontinued operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2010. As a result of this divestiture, our previously reported average daily production volume of 366 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 $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, versus $446,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of approximately $100 million and $14.8 million at June 30, 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 $64.9 million and $0 at June 30, 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 $18.5 million in the 2011 period versus $6.0 million in the 2010 period. Our net loss per common share, basic and diluted, was $0.16 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.10 per share for the 2010 period. Our weighted average shares outstanding increased by approximately 50.5 million shares, or 81%, to approximately 112.6 million shares from the 2010 period to the 2011 period due predominately to the NuLoch and NGAS acquisitions. Our net loss per share from continuing operations was $0.16 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011, versus $0.11 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.
Six Months Ending June 30, 2011 and 2010
Oil and gas production. Oil and gas production increased 206% to 687 MBoe for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 225 MBoe for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Production for the 2011 period was approximately 47% oil and NGLs and 53% natural gas compared to 66% oil and 34% natural gas for the 2010 period. Our average daily production on a Boe basis increased 206% to 3,795 Boe per day for the 2011 period compared to 1,242 Boe per day for the 2010 period. The increase in production is primarily attributable to the results of the acquisitions of NGAS and NuLoch as well as our drilling program in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shales in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first half of 2011. Eagle Ford and Marcellus production accounted for 116 and 127 Mboe, respectively, of the production increase in the second quarter of 2011. Other production increases are due to the inclusion of the production from NGAS and NuLoch acquisitions, which resulted in change of approximately 136 and 29 Mboe, respectively. Production from the acquired NuLoch wells was approximately 30.1 MBoe lower than normal due to weather related shut-in of wells. We successfully completed 9 gross (5.4 net) horizontal wells in the Eagle Ford Shale and 5 gross (3.5 net) wells in the Marcellus Shale during the six months ended June 30, 2011. We experienced production declines of 14 Mboe in our Williston basin production, 2 Mboe in our Gulf Coast production and 8 Mboe in our other South Texas properties. Weather related shut-in of wells caused production to be 22.2 Mboe lower than normal at our Williston Basin properties. We expect our oil and gas production to continue to increase during the remainder of 2011 due to our acquisition of both NGAS and NuLoch in the second quarter of 2011 as well as our continued drilling programs, we anticipate to increase production from drilling operations for the remainder of 2011.
Oil and gas sales. Oil and gas sales increased $26.9 million, or 206%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $40.0 million from $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 $21.02 per barrel (29%) to $92.49 per barrel, while the average price received for gas production decreased $0.18 per Mcf (3.4%) to $5.20 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 $26.9 million increase in oil and gas sales, approximately $5.9 million, or 21%, was attributable to an increase in oil prices, net of a decrease in gas prices, while approximately $21.0 million, or 78% 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 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.)
Field operations revenue and expense. Field operations revenue increased 272% to approximately $7.1 million as compared to $1.9 million in the 2010 period. Field operations expense was $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As a result, net field service income increased by $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the 2010 period. Approximately $1.7 million of the increase in income resulted from the operations of the Eureka Hunter subsidiary. Another $903,000 of the increase resulted from the gas compression and transportation activities of the NGAS Hunter subsidiary acquired during April 2011. Field service revenue 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 $5.2 million, or 99%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $10.4 million ($15.13 per Boe) from $5.2 million ($23.26 per Boe) for the six months ended June 30, 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 Fields, at a lower cost per unit produced when compared to the per unit operating cost in our older, legacy fields.
Severance taxes and marketing. Our severance taxes increased $1.7 million, or 175%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, to $2.6 million from $958,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. All of the increase in severance taxes was attributable to the increase

in oil and gas production. Marketing expenses decreased by $132,000, or 49%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, to $139,000 from $271,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to production declines at our existing Williston Basin properties.
Exploration expense. We incurred $738,000 of exploration expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $457,000 for the six months ended June 30, 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 $12.2 million, or 299%, to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to increased production in the 2011 period. Our DD&A per Boe increased by $5.55, or 30%, to $23.80 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $18.25 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 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 $17.3 million, or 130%, to $30.6 million ($44.51 per Boe) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $13.3 million ($59.04 per Boe) for the six months ended June 30, 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 $12.0 million ($17.49 per Boe) for the 2011 period and $4.1 million ($18.34 per Boe) for the 2010 period. Also included in G&A in the 2011 period are acquisition related costs of approximately $7.8 million which were for legal, consulting and other costs related to the acquisitions of NGAS and Nuloch in April and May of 2011, respectively. Acquisition expenses incurred in the 2010 period of $1.4 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 for recurring, cash based G&A expenses 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 $3.0 million, or 174% to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Approximately $2.3 million of this increase is the result of a non-cash write off of the unamortized balance of deferred financing fees from the credit facility that was replaced by the Senior Credit Facility in April 2011. The remaining $300,000 of the increase was substantially the result of our higher average debt level during 2011 partially offset by lower interest rates.
Commodity derivative activities. Realized gains and losses from our commodity derivative activity decreased our earnings by approximately $508,000 and increased our earnings by approximately $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 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 six months. The unrealized loss on commodity derivatives was approximately $166,000 for the 2011 period and $700,000 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 realized and unrealized derivative contracts generated a loss of approximately $674,000 and a gain of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.)
Deferred tax benefit. The Company recorded a deferred tax benefit at the applicable statutory rates of $197,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of the operating loss incurred by Williston Hunter Canada, Inc, and Williston Hunter, Inc during the period. These entities recorded the deferred tax benefit because they are separate tax entites from Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its other subsidiaries. There are no deferred tax benefits recorded for Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and its U.S. based subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was approximately $117,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus $65,000 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 $21.7 million for the 2011 period versus a loss of $10.3 million for the 2010 period, an increase of $11.4 million, or 111%. This was due to a increase in operating loss of $5.6 million offset by an increase in loss on derivative contracts of $3.1 million and an increase in interest expense of $3.0 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 $1.0 million of Cinco Terry operating income less interest expense to discontinued operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. As a result of this divestiture, our previously reported average daily production volume of 324 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 $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, versus $708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Series C Preferred Stock had a stated value of approximately $100 million and $14.8 million at June 30, 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 $64.9 million and $0 at June 30, 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 $27.8 million in the 2011 period versus $10.0 million in the 2010 period. Our net loss per common share, basic and diluted was $0.29 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.17 per share for the 2010 period. Our weighted average shares outstanding increased by approximately 32.1 million shares, or 52%, to approximately 94.2 million shares from the 2010 period to the 2011 period principally as a result of the shares issued to acquire NuLoch and NGAS. Our net loss per share from continuing operations was $0.29 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, versus $0.19 per share for the 2010 period. We had income from discontinued operations of $0.02 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 Senior 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 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 on acceptable 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 June 30, 2011, we had approximately $9.6 million of cash on hand, including $4.8 million of restricted cash, and $31.0 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, for total liquidity of approximately $40.6 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. On July 13, 2011, the revolving credit facility was amended and our borrowing base was increased to $170 million effective June 30, 2011, providing an additional $25 million of availability, with the ability to increase the borrowing base to $177.5 million if the Company enters into certain swap agreements. From July 1, 2011, through August 5, 2011, we realized additional proceeds from issuance of new Series D Preferred Stock totaling approximately $4.3 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, restored production in the Williston Basin, 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 facility was increased to $145 million and $170 million on May 3, 2011, and June 30, 2011, respectively. We expect the additional operating cash flows from the new acquisitions, additional liquidity under the revolving credit facility, 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 six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, our cash flows from operations increased by approximately $6.7 million due mainly to improved operating results before depreciation and depletion expense.
Investing Activities
Our cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $214.0 million, which primarily were a result of the acquisition activity undertaken by the Company during the quarter. The Company used $60.4 million in cash in the NGAS acquisition, net of cash acquired of $1.9 million and $18.1 million in cash in the Nuloch acquisition, net of cash acquired of $640,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we used $5.5 million of cash for deposits on equipment, and we received proceeds from the sale of assets of $1.8 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we used $131.8 million in cash for capital expenditures which includes $20 million cash in the acquisition of the Wetzel County assets from Windsor Marcellus, LLC, $4.9 million cash in the third phase of the acquisition of assets from PostRock, and $105 million for capital expenditures under our 2011 capital expenditures budget as described below.
Our cash flows used in investing activities for the first six months in 2010 were for the Triad acquisition of approximately $59.5 million, approximately $11.4 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 $1.3 million for exploratory drilling in South Texas, approximately $3.3 million gross ($2.6 million net after applying previously paid drilling advances) in development drilling in our Cinco Terry field (which has since been divested) as well as our North Dakota and East Chalkley fields, and approximately $1.7 million in pipeline and other development expenditures, resulting in approximately $17.9 million in gross capital expenditures ($17.2 million net of drilling advances) in the 2010 period. We also made advances of approximately $967,000 and had proceeds from the sale of assets of approximately $30,000 in the 2010 period.
Financing Activities
We borrowed $228.0 million under our revolving credit facility and made principal repayments of $119.0 million during the 2011 period versus borrowing $70.0 million and repaying $25.0 million in the 2010 period. In the 2011 period, we realized $5.8 million from the exercise of common stock options and warrants. We issued 1,190,544 shares of our Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock in the 2011 period for net proceeds of $29.1 million, and we issued 1,298,095 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $59.5 million.
The amount borrowed under the revolving credit facility in 2010 was principally used to fund the Triad acquisition. We spent approximately $2.6 million for deferred financing costs on the amendment and restatement of our revolving credit facility and the expansion of our borrowing base to $75.0 million. We received approximately $433,000 in proceeds and repaid approximately $576,000 of other loans in the 2010 period. We received approximately $24.4 million net from the issuance of approximately 8.5 million shares of our common stock, approximately $13.0 million from exercise of approximately 4,800,000  of our $2.00 common stock warrants, 1,400,000  of our $2.50 common stock warrants and approximately $9.2 million net from the issuance of 379,310 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock in the 2010 period. We also paid approximately $11.25 million upon redemption of 3,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of 1,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, we paid approximately $734,000 in dividends on our Series B and Series C Preferred Stock, and approximately $116,000 for surrendered stock options in the 2010 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, cash provided by the issuance of new common and preferred stock, 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.
Senior Credit Facility
On April 13, 2011, we entered into the Senior Credit Facility 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.
On July 13, 2011, we entered into the First Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility effective June 30, 2011. The First Amendment increased the Company’s borrowing base to $170 million and provided for an additional increase in borrowing base to $177.5 million if the Company enters into certain swap agreements as set forth in the First Amendment.
The Senior Credit Facility 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 or drilled over time, the Company’s borrowing base may increase up to the maximum $250 million commitment level. The Senior Credit Facility replaces Magnum Hunter’s $150 million three-year term secured revolving credit facility, which had a borrowing base of $71.5 million. The Senior Credit Facility 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 facility, which is a lower cost of funds that the prior senior bank facility.
Covenants
The Senior Credit Facility 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 facility.

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 by a majority vote of the bank group on the basis of subjective factors. These subjective factors include valuation of loan collateral based on methodology, assumptions and discount rates as such lenders customarily use in evaluating oil and gas 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 $105,000 and $228,000, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $64,000 and $188,000 for the three and six months period end June 30 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 for which Mr. Ormand, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, is a director. Professional services expenses totaled $28,000 and $46,000, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $30,000 and $60,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
We entered into a one year lease for a corporate apartment from an executive of the Company for monthly rent of $4,500 for use by a Company employee. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company paid rent of $9,000 pertaining to the lease.
As of June 30, 2011, our net accounts payable to Pilatus Hunter, LLC was $16,000 and our net accounts payable to GreenHunter Energy, Inc. was $10,000.
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 June 30, 2011. The term equipment debt has an average interest rate of approximately 6.03% at June 30, 2011. (See Note 9 in our condensed consolidated financial statements.)
As of June 30, 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 eight to fifty-nine months. Triad had various lease commitments for periods ranging from six to seventy-seven months at June 30, 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 remaining maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, was approximately $1.1 million as of June 30, 2011.
On December 14, 2010, the Company entered into a twelve month drilling contract for the 2011 year. Our remaining maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, was approximately $1.2 million as of June 30, 2011.
On June 24, 2011, the Company entered into a 3 year drilling contract from October 31, 2011, through October 31, 2014. Our remaining maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, was approximately $19.5 million as of June 30, 2011.
On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a twelve month drilling contract. Our remaining maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, was approximately $3.0 million as of June 30, 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 officers for terms ranging up to fifteen months. 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2011, the off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that we have entered into include 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 volatile. 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 mitigate 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.

At June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the fair value of our open derivative contracts was a net liability of approximately $945,000 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 also 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 and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized a gain of $2.7 million and a loss $674,000, respectively, related to oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which included $517,000 and $509,000, respectively, of realized loss from contracts settled in cash, and $3.2 million of unrealized gains and $166,000 of unrealized losses related to unsettled contracts. Unrealized gains and losses are based on the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments covering positions beyond June 30, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a gain of $1.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which included $100,000 and $3.1 million, respectively, of realized gain from contracts settled in cash, and $1.2 million in unrealized gains and $700,000 in unrealized losses, respectively, related to unsettled contracts. Unrealized gains and losses for the 2010 period are based on the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments covering positions beyond June 30, 2010.

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”), are 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 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 June 30, 2011. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 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.
On April 13, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of NGAS Resources, Inc. (NGAS) and on May 3, 2011 we acquired all of the outstanding stock of NuLoch Resources, Inc. (NuLoch). In connection with integrating NGAS and NuLoch, we are evaluating and, where necessary, implementing changes in controls and procedures at NGAS and NuLoch as the integration proceeds. This process may result in additions or changes to our internal control over financial reporting. Except for the acquisitions, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls
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 six months ended June 30, 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.
