(together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions” and, the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to pursue a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The Company filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, et al. (Case No. 16-31975). The Company will continue to operate as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and an order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is accounting for the bankruptcy in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations.” The Company filed a series of first day motions with the Bankruptcy Court that allowed it to continue to conduct business without interruption. These motions are designed primarily to minimize the impact on the Company’s operations, customers and employees.

Prior to filing the Chapter 11 Cases, on March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with certain holders of the Company’s 8.0% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 and 8.875% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Second Lien Notes”). The Restructuring Support Agreement sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitment to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Debtors, and on the other hand, the certain holders, in connection with a restructuring of the Company’s Second Lien Notes, 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Exchange Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Exchange Notes”), 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019, 5.375% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), 10% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), 9.75% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”), 10% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) and the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share, pursuant to the Company’s Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization filed under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on the Petition Date. On May 21, 2016, the Restructuring Support Agreement was terminated automatically pursuant to its terms as an Assumption Order approving the Restructuring Support Agreement was not entered by the Bankruptcy Court within thirty-five days of the Petition Date. See discussion on the plan of reorganization below.

The Chapter 11 Cases described above constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under all of its outstanding debt instruments. The agreements governing the Company’s debt instruments provide that as a result of the Bankruptcy Petitions, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. However, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Company’s debt instruments have been automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the debt instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Reorganization Process

On April 18, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued certain additional interim and final orders with respect to the Debtors’ first-day motions and other operating motions that allow the Debtors to operate their businesses in the ordinary course. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions. Thus, for example, most creditor actions to obtain possession of property from the Debtors, or to create, perfect or enforce any lien against the Debtors’ property, or to collect on monies owed or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to a pre-petition claim are enjoined unless and until the Bankruptcy Court lifts the automatic stay.

Under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. The Debtors may not assume such contracts or leases unless, at the time of assumption, the Debtors: (1) cure any

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

default or provides adequate assurance that the default will be promptly cured; (2) compensate or provide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly compensate the other party for any pecuniary loss resulting from defaults; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future performance under the contract.

A Chapter 11 plan determines the rights and satisfaction of claims and interests of various creditors and security holders and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations and the Bankruptcy Court’s decisions through the date on which a Chapter 11 plan is confirmed. The Debtors currently expect that any proposed Chapter 11 plan, among other things, would provide mechanisms for settlement of the Debtors’ pre-petition obligations, changes to certain operational cost drivers, treatment of the Company’s existing equity holders, potential income tax liabilities and certain corporate governance and administrative matters pertaining to the reorganized new entity. Any proposed Chapter 11 plan will be subject to revision prior to submission to the Bankruptcy Court based upon discussions with the Debtors’ creditors, including the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all amendments, the “Senior Credit Facility”) and holders of the Company’s unsecured notes and preferred stock, and other interested parties, and thereafter in response to creditor claims and objections and the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Debtors will be able to secure approval for any Chapter 11 plan from the Bankruptcy Court or that any Chapter 11 plan will be accepted by the Debtors’ creditors.

Under the priority rankings established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree otherwise, pre-petition liabilities and post-petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before both preferred and common stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution or retain any property under a Chapter 11 plan. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or stockholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed to each of these constituencies or what types or amounts of distributions, if any, they would receive. A Chapter 11 plan could result in holders of certain liabilities and/or securities, including common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests. Because of such possibilities, there is significant uncertainty regarding the value of our liabilities and securities, including our common stock. At this time, there is no assurance we will be able to restructure as a going concern or successfully propose or implement a Chapter 11 plan.

For the duration of the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process as described in Part II Item 1A, “Risk Factors”. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the number of the Company’s outstanding shares and shareholders, assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties and capital plans included in this quarterly report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and capital plans following the Chapter 11 process. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has conducted normal business activities and was authorized to continue to pay and has paid (subject to limitations applicable to payments of certain pre-petition obligations) pre-petition employee wages and benefits, pre-petition amounts owed to certain lienholders, critical vendors and other third parties, such as royalty holders and partners.

On July 25, 2016 the Company entered into and filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to approve a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with a group of investors for the new issuance of 13.5% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien Notes in the initial aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Convertible Second Lien Notes”). The Bankruptcy Court approved the motion on August 4, 2016 which will allow the Company to submit a revised plan of organization to the Bankruptcy Court. The approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Commitment Letter terminates the bid procedures that were previously approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 1, 2016.

Commitment Letter

The Commitment Letter provides for the issuance of $40.0 million in Convertible Second Lien Notes that mature on the later of August 30, 2019 or six months after the maturity of the Senior Credit Facility. Interest on the Convertible Second Lien Notes will accrue at a rate of 13.5% per annum and be paid quarterly in cash or paid in kind by adding to the principal at the option of the issuer. The Convertible Second Lien Notes will convert at the option of the purchaser into a number of common shares equal to 15% of the common shares of the reorganized company. Upon closing, purchasers of the Convertible Second Lien Notes will also (i) be issued 10-year costless warrants for common stock equal to 20% of the common shares of the reorganized company, (ii) take a second priority lien on all assets of the reorganized company, and (iii) have the right to appoint two members to the Board of Directors of the reorganized company. A total of $20.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Second Lien Notes will go to repay amounts outstanding under the existing Senior Credit Facility and $20.0 million in proceeds will be used to fund the Company’s Haynesville Shale Trend drilling program.

Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We adopted FASB ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest, in 2016. This guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, rather than an asset. This guidance requires retrospective application; therefore, prior year amounts within the Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases we removed $3.0 million of deferred loan costs associated with our Second Lien Notes and senior notes from the June 30, 2016 Consolidated Balance Sheet and included the $3.0 million on the Reorganization items, net line item of our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, we have operated and will continue to operate our business as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. ASC 852-10 applies to entities that have filed a petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The guidance requires that transactions and events directly associated with the reorganization be distinguished from the ongoing operations of the business. In addition, the guidance provides for changes in the accounting and presentation of liabilities, as well as expenses and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.

As a result of the substantial decline in oil and natural gas prices since the third quarter of 2014 and our Chapter 11 Cases, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities, without substantial adjustments and/or changes in ownership, are subject to uncertainty. Given the uncertainty surrounding our Chapter 11 Cases, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences of our Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the consolidated financial statements do not purport to show (i) as to assets, their realizable value on a liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (ii) as to pre-petition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; (iii) as to shareholders’ equity accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in our capitalization; or (iv) as to operations, the effect of any changes that may be made to our business.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), we have applied ASC 852 “Reorganizations,” in preparing our consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires that the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions for losses that are realized or incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, pre-petition obligations that may be impacted by the bankruptcy reorganization process have been classified on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Liabilities subject to compromise”. These liabilities include unsecured and under secured obligations which are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

While operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities in amounts other than those reflected in our consolidated financial statements, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise as permitted in the ordinary course of business. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications in our historical consolidated financial statements.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAPGAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any interim period. Certain data in prior periods’ financial statements have been adjusted to conform to the presentation of the current period.


Fresh Start Accounting—We applied fresh start accounting upon emergence from bankruptcy on October 12, 2016 (the "Effective Date"). This resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Upon adoption of fresh start accounting, our assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the Effective Date. As a result, our consolidated statement of operations subsequent to the Effective Date are not comparable to our consolidated statement of operations prior to the Effective Date. Our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in a format that illustrates the lack of comparability between amounts presented on or after October 12, 2016 and dates prior. Our financial results for future periods following the application of fresh-start accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material.

All references made to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the Company on and subsequent to the Effective Date. References to the “Successor" in this quarterly report relate to the periods after October 12, 2016 which includes the first quarter of 2017. References to "Predecessor" or “Predecessor Company” in this quarterly report refer to the Company prior to the Effective Date which includes the first quarter of 2016.

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.the Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation. Certain data in prior periods’ financial statements have been adjusted to conform to the presentation of the current period. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing.


Use of Estimates— Our management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP.


Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, demand deposit accounts and temporary cash investments with maturities of ninety days or less at the date of purchase.

Property and EquipmentAsUnder US GAAP, two acceptable methods of June 30, 2016,accounting for oil and natural gas properties are allowed. These are the Successful Efforts Method and the Full Cost Method. Entities engaged in the production of oil and natural gas have the option of selecting either method for application in the accounting for their properties. The principal differences between the two methods are in the treatment of exploration costs, the computation of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”) expense and the assessment of impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we had interestselected to adopt the Full Cost Method.

Under the Full Cost Method, we capitalize all costs associated with acquisitions, exploration, development and estimated abandonment costs. We capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with the acquisition of leasehold, as well as drilling and completion activities, but do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Unevaluated property costs are excluded from the amortization base until we make a determination as to the existence of proved reserves on the respective property or impairment. We review our unevaluated properties at the end of each quarter to determine whether the costs should be reclassified to proved oil and natural gas properties and thereby subject to DD&A and the full cost ceiling test. Our sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to net proved oil and natural gas properties with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

We amortize our investment in oil and natural gas properties totaling $65.0 million,through DD&A expense using the units of production (the “UOP”) method. This entails the quarterly provision for DD&A expense being computed by dividing production volumes for the period by the total proved reserves as of the beginning of the period (beginning of period reserves being determined by adding production to the end of period reserves), and applying the respective rate to the net cost of accumulated depletion, which we account for under the successful efforts method. Under this method, costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and natural gas leasehold acreageproperties and future development costs.

Full Cost Ceiling Test—The Full Cost Method requires that at the conclusion of each financial reporting period, the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves (adjusted for hedges and excluding cash flows related to estimated abandonment costs), be compared to the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, net of related deferred taxes. This comparison is referred to as a "ceiling test". If the net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties exceed the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves, we are capitalized. Whenrequired to write-down the value of our oil and natural gas properties to the value of the discounted cash flows. Estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves are foundcalculated based on an unproved property,a 12-month average pricing assumption.

There were no Full Cost Ceiling Test write-downs for the associated leasehold cost is transferredquarter ended March 31, 2017.

Impairment—Prior to proved properties. Significant unproved leases are reviewedOctober 12, 2016 under the Successful Efforts Method of Accounting, we periodically and a valuation allowance is provided for any estimated decline in value. Costs of all other unproved leases are amortized over the estimated average holding period of the leases. Development costs are capitalized, including the costs of unsuccessful development wells.

Impairment—We periodically assessassessed our long-lived assets recorded in oil and natural gas properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to ensure that they arewere not overstated or carried in excess of fair value, which iswas computed using Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flow models or valuations. Significant Level 3 assumptions associated with discounted cash flow models or valuations based on estimatedused in the impairment evaluation included estimates of future commoditycrude oil and natural gas prices, production costs, development expenditures, anticipated production of proved reserves, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates and our various operational assumptions. other relevant data. An evaluation iswas performed on a field-by-field basis at least annually or whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicateindicated that our oil and natural gas properties may be impaired.


To determine if a field iswas impaired, we comparecompared the carrying value of the field to the undiscounted future net cash flows by applying management’s estimates of proved reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, future production of oil and natural gas reserves and future operating costs over the economic life of the property. In addition, other factors such as probable and possible reserves arewere taken into consideration when justified by economic conditions. Ifconditions and the carrying value availability of the field is greater than the undiscounted future net cash flows we further evaluate the fieldcapital to determine if an impairment exists. develop proved undeveloped reserves. For each property determined to be impaired, we recognizerecognized an impairment loss equal to the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the field.


Fair value iswas estimated to be the present value of expected future net cash flows. Any impairment charge incurred iswas recorded in accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization to reduce the carrying value of the field. Each part of this
calculation iswas subject to a large degree of judgment, including the determination of the fields’ estimated reserves, future cash
flows and fair value.


We had no impairment for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Fair Value Measurement—Fair value is defined 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 fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, whether in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, our credit risk.


We use various methods, including the income approach and market approach, to determine the fair values of our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which depend on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. For some of our instruments, the fair value is calculated based on directly observable market data or data available for similar instruments in similar markets. For other instruments, the fair value may be calculated based on these inputs as well as other assumptions related to estimates of future settlements of these instruments. We separate our financial instruments into three levelsLevels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine the fair value of our instruments. Our assessment of an instrument can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instrument, which could result in a change in the classification of the instruments between levels.

Levels.


Each of these levelsLevels and our corresponding instruments classified by levelLevel are further described below:

·

Level 1 Inputs— unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Included in this level are our senior notes;

·

Level 2 Inputs— quotes which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Included in this level are our Senior Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and

Level 1 Inputs— unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. We have no Level 1 instruments;

Included in this Level are our Exit Credit Facility and commodity derivatives whose fair values are based on third-party quotes or available interest rate information and commodity pricing data obtained from third party pricing sources and our creditworthiness or that of our counterparties; and future commodity prices. Included in this level would be acquisitions and impairments of oil and natural gas properties, our 2032 Exchange Notes, 8.0% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “8.0% Second Lien Notes”), the embedded derivative associated with the 8.0% Second Lien Notes (see Note 3) and 8.875% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “8.875% Second Lien Notes”).

Level 3 Inputs— unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations, based on our various assumptions and future commodity prices. Included in this Level would be acquisitions and impairments of oil and natural gas properties, if any, and our asset retirement obligations.

As of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables represented fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Depreciation—Depreciation and depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used to compute unit rates for unamortized tangible and intangible development costs, and proved reserves are used for unamortized leasehold costs. Gains and losses on disposals or retirements that are significant or include an entire depreciable or depletable property unit are included in operating income.


Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment, consisting of office furniture, computer hardware and software and leasehold improvements, is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which vary from three to five years.

Transportation Obligation


—We entered into a natural gas gathering agreement with an independent service provider, effective July 27, 2010. The agreement was scheduled to remain in effect for a period of ten years and required the service provider to construct pipelines and facilities to connect our wells to the service provider’s gathering system in our Eagle Ford Shale Trend area of South Texas. In compensation for the services, we agreed to pay the service provider 110% of the total capital cost incurred by the service provider to construct new pipelines and facilities. The service provider billed us for 20% of the accumulated unpaid capital costs annually. This obligation was relieved upon the sale of our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties in September 2015; however we are obligated to pay the 2015 annual billing. As a result of the sale, the transportation obligation liability was reduced to $1.0 million and is included in Liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016.

Asset Retirement Obligations—Asset retirement obligations are related to the abandonment and site restoration requirements that result from the exploration and development of our oil and natural gas properties. We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Accretion expense is included in “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 2.


The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligations at inception is determined by utilizing the income approach by applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which takes into account the Company’s credit risk, the time value of money, and the current economic state, to the undiscounted expected abandonment cash flows. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the measurement of the asset retirement obligations was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.


Revenue Recognition—Oil and natural gas revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Revenues from the production of crude oil and natural gas properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized using the entitlements method. We record a liability or an asset for natural gas balancing when we have sold more or less than our working interest share of natural gas production, respectively. At June 30, 2016 March 31, 2017and December 31, 2015,2016, the net liability for natural gas balancing was immaterial. Differences between actual production and net working interest volumes are routinely adjusted.


Derivative Instruments—We use derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, options, collars and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil and natural gas and to hedge our exposure to changing
GOODRICH PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


interest rates. Accounting standards related to derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments subject to the requirements of those standards be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet. We offset the fair value of our asset and liability positions with the same counterparty for each commodity type. Changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. All of our realized gain or losses on our derivative contracts are the result of cash settlements. We have not designated any of our derivative contracts as hedges; accordingly, changes in fair value are reflected in earnings. See Note 6.

Income Taxes

—We account for income taxes, as required, under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.


We recognize, as required, the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. See Note 5.

Net Income or Net Loss Per Share—Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for each reporting period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for each

See Note 4.


Commitments and Contingencies—Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, when probable of realization, are separately recorded and are not offset against the related environmental liability. See Note 7.


Share-Based Compensation—We account for our share-based transactions using the fair value as of the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of each restricted stock award is measured using the closing price of our common stock on the day of the award.

New Accounting Pronouncements

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016,2016. We adopted this standard in 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any organization in any interim or annual period. However, if early adopted in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Also, if early adopted, all amendments must be adopted in the same period. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and assessing theanticipate no material impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.statements until the fourth quarter of 2017, when the initial vestings of restricted stock issued under our Management Incentive Plan occur.


On February 25, 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The key difference between the existing standards and ASU 2016-02 is the requirement for lessees to recognize on their balance sheet all lease contracts with lease terms greater than 12 months, including operating leases. Specifically, lessees are required to recognize on the balance sheet at lease commencement, both:both (i) a right-of-use asset, representing the lessee’s right to use the leased asset over the term of the lease;lease, and (ii) a lease liability, representing the lessee’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease. For lessees, ASU 2016-02 requires classification of leases as either operating or finance leases, which are similar to the current operating and capital lease classifications. However, the distinction between these two classifications under the ASU does not relate to balance sheet treatment, but relates to treatment and recognition in the statements of income and cash flows. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged from current US GAAP. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities. Early application is permitted. We

are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and assessing the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, that introduces a new five-stepRevenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition modelrequirements in which an entity shouldUS GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers inat an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entityit expects to be entitled in exchange for thosetransferring goods or services. This ASUservices to a customer. The new standard also requires disclosures that are sufficient to enable users to understand thean entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitativecustomers. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This update provides clarifications in the assessment of principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue standard.

The update reduces the potential for diversity in practice at initial application of Topic 606 and changesthe cost and complexity of applying Topic 606.

The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine2017. We are assessing the impact itthat the adoption of these standards will have on itsour consolidated financial statements.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

Senior Credit Facility

Total lender commitments under the Senior Credit Facility were $40.3 million as of June 30, 2016. Total lender commitments under the Senior Credit Facility are also subject to a borrowing base limitation, which as of June 30, 2016 was $20.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, borrowing base redeterminations occur on a semi-annual basis on April 1 and October 1. Our borrowing base was reduced to $20.0 million on April 1, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we had $40.1 million outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and $10.1 million in cash. With the redetermination of the borrowing base on April 1, 2016, the Company has a borrowing base deficiency of $20.1 million. On March 29, 2016, the Company entered into the Sixteenth Amendment to the Senior Credit Facility (the “Sixteenth Amendment”). The Sixteenth Amendment included the following key elements: (i) reduced total lender commitments to $40.3 million on March 29, 2016; (ii) the Company agreed not to request any borrowings, issue any new letters of credit or increase an existing letter of credit under the Senior Credit Facility before April 16, 2016; and (iii) requires that all letters of credit (except the letter of credit for the benefit of one specific vendor) expire at or prior to the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance or (B) five business days prior to February 24, 2017. Interest on revolving borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility, as amended, accrues at a rate calculated, at our option, at the bank base rate plus 1.25% to 2.25% or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 2.25% to 3.25%, depending on borrowing base utilization. Pursuant to the terms of an order entered in the bankruptcy proceeding on April 15, 2016, interest is accruing and paid monthly based on a 2.25% margin which currently calculates to approximately 6.0% per annum. Additionally, a post-default rate of 2% is accreting on the outstanding balance.  Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Senior Credit Facility.

The terms of the Senior Credit Facility require us to maintain certain covenants. Capitalized terms used here, but not defined, have the meanings assigned to them in the Senior Credit Facility. The primary financial covenants under the under the Senior Credit Facility, include:

·

Current Ratio of 1.0/1.0;

·

Interest Coverage Ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of not less than 1.25/1.0 for the trailing four quarters EBITDAX. The interest for such period to apply solely to the cash portion of interest expense; and

·

Maximum First Lien Debt no greater than 1.25 times EBITDAX for the trailing four quarters.

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, Current Ratio is consolidated current assets (including current availability under the Senior Credit Facility, but excluding non-cash assets related to our derivatives) to consolidated current liabilities (excluding non-cash liabilities related to our derivatives, accrued capital expenditures and current maturities under the Senior Credit Facility).

As used in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, EBITDAX is earnings before interest expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion and amortization, exploration expense, stock based compensation and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. In calculating EBITDAX for this purpose, gains/losses on derivatives not designated as hedges, less net cash received (paid) in settlement of commodity derivatives are excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on April 15, 2016 constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, other events of default existed as of June 30, 2016 which included, but were not limited to, the presence of an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.  We were also not in compliance with the Current Ratio covenant under the Senior Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

8.0% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018

On March 12, 2015, we sold 100,000 units (the “Units”), each consisting of a $1,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of our 8.0% Second Lien Notes and one warrant to purchase 48.84 shares of our $0.20 par value common stock. The 8.0% Second Lien Notes are guaranteed by our subsidiary that also guarantees our Senior Credit Facility. The 8.0% Second Lien Notes are secured on a senior second-priority basis by liens on certain assets of the Company and its subsidiary that secures our Senior Credit Facility, which liens are subject to an inter-creditor agreement in favor of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility. The 8.0% Second Lien Notes were to mature on March 15, 2018 or on September 1, 2017, if certain conditions were not met. Interest on the 8.0% Second Lien Notes was payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2015.

The 8.0% Second Lien Notes indenture provides for certain restrictions including: (i) incurring additional debt; (ii) making certain dividends or paying dividends or distributions on our capital stock or purchasing, redeeming or retiring such capital stock or our unsecured debt; (iii) selling assets, including the capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries; (iv) paying dividends or other payments of our restricted subsidiaries; (v) creating liens that secure debt; (vi) entering into transactions with affiliates and (vii) merging or consolidating with another company. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. At any time when the 8.0% Second Lien Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the indenture governing the Second Lien Notes) has occurred and is continuing, many of these covenants will terminate.

The 8.0% Second Lien Notes and the warrants became separately transferable on June 4, 2015 when a registration statement related to the resale of the warrants was declared effective by the SEC. The warrants were exercisable upon payment of the exercise price of $4.664 or convertible on a cashless basis as set forth in the agreement governing the warrants.

We separately accounted for the liability and equity components of our 8.0% Second Lien Notes in a manner that reflected our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest is recognized in subsequent periods. We measured the debt component of the 8.0% Second Lien Notes using a discount rate of 32% on the date of issuance. We attributed $78.7 million of the 8.0% Second Lien Notes relative fair value to the debt component, which compared to the face value results in a debt discount of $21.3 million. Additionally, we recorded $15.8 million within additional paid-in capital representing the equity component of the 8.0% Second Lien Notes. The debt discount has beenis being amortized using the effective interest rate method.method based upon a maturity date of August 30, 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We accounted for this transaction as a troubled debt transaction pursuant to guidance provided by FASB ASC section 470-60 “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors”. We have determined that the prospective undiscounted cash flows from the 8.875% Second Lien Notes through their maturity did not exceed the adjusted carrying amount of the retired 2019 Notes, consequently a gain of $62.6 million was recognized for this exchange in 2015. Accordingly, on the date of the exchange, a carrying amount of $91.4 million was recorded as a liability and we recorded $2.5 million in additional paid in capital representing the fair value of the warrants issued. On a basic and diluted loss per share basis the $62.6 million gain was $1.11 per share for the year ended December 31, 2015. The carrying amount of the 8.875% Second Lien Notes was adjusted downward from $91.4 million to the $75.0 million principal amount when the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016, with the $16.4 million gain recognized in Reorganization items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

The 2019 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The 2019 Notes accrued interest at a rate of 8.875% annually, and interest was paid semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15. The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by our subsidiary that also guarantees our Senior Credit Facility.

As described above, on October 1, 2015, we closed a privately-negotiated exchange under which we retired, in two tranches, $158.2 million in aggregate original principal amount of our outstanding 2019 Notes in exchange for the issuance of $75.0 million in aggregate original principal amount of our 8.875% Second Lien Notes and 38,250 warrants.

In September 2009, we sold $218.5 million of our 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes were to mature on October 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. We exchanged $166.7 million of the 2029 Notes for the 2032 Notes in 2013.  On October 1, 2014, we repurchased $45.1 million of the 2029 Notes using restricted cash held in escrow for that purpose.  

The 2029 Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our other existing and future unsecured indebtedness. The 2029 Notes accrued interest at a rate of 5.0% annually, and interest was paid semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

The Convertible Second Lien Notes will mature on August 30, 2019, or such later date as set forth in the Convertible Second Lien Notes, but in no event later than March 30, 2020. The Convertible Second Lien Notes bear interest at the rate of approximately $27.5 million. On13.50% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 14, 2015, we closed an additional privately-negotiated exchange under which we retired approximately $17.1 million in aggregate original principal amount15 of oureach year. The Company may elect to pay all or any portion of interest in-kind on the then outstanding 2032 Notes in exchange for our issuance of additional 2032 Exchange Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $8.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, $94.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2032Convertible Second Lien Notes remained outstanding.

Unlike the 2029 Notes,by increasing the principal amount of the 2032outstanding Convertible Second Lien Notes accreted ator by issuing additional Second Lien Notes (“PIK Interest Notes”). The PIK Interest Notes are not convertible. During such time as the Exit Credit Agreement (but not any refinancing or replacement thereof) is in effect, interest on the Convertible Second Lien Notes must be paid in-kind.

The Indenture governing the Convertible Second Lien Notes contains certain covenants pertaining to us and our subsidiary, including delivery of financial reports; environmental matters; conduct of business; use of proceeds; operation and maintenance of properties; collateral and guarantee requirements; indebtedness; liens; dividends and distributions; limits on sale of assets and stock; business activities; transactions with affiliates; and changes of control.

The Indenture also contains certain financial covenants, including the maintenance of (i) a rateTotal Proved Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Exit Credit Agreement) not to be less than 1.10 to 1.00 on or before March 31, 2017 initially and increasing to 1.35 to 1.00 after March 31, 2017 but on or before September 30, 2017 and 1.50 to 1.00 after September 30, 2017, to be determined as of 2% per year compounded semi-annually which commencedJanuary 1 and July 1 of each year; (ii) limitations on August 26, 2013.

Upon issuance of the principal was payableConvertible Second Lien Notes in October 2016, in accordance with accounting standards related to convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon maturity but does not bear cash interest and was not convertible into our common stock. Holders had the option to require us to purchase any outstanding 2032 Notes on each of October 1, 2017, 2022 and 2027, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus the accretion thereon. No accretion expense has been recognizedconversion as well as warrants on the 2032 Notes subsequent to the Bankruptcy Petitions being filed on April 15, 2016.  We recorded $0.1 million and $0.6 million of accretion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, whiledebt instrument, we recorded $0.9 million and $1.7 million of accretion in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

We separately accounted for the liability and equity components of our 2032 Notes in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest is recognized in subsequent periods. We measured the debt component of the 2032 Notes using an effective interest rate of 8%. We attributed $158.8 million of the fair value to the 2032 Note debt component which compared to the face results in a debt discount of $7.5$11.0 million, which was being amortized throughthereby reducing the first put date of October 1, 2017. Additionally, we$40.0 million carrying value upon issuance to $29.0 million and recorded $24.4 million within additional paid-in capital representing thean equity component of the 2032 Notes.

As of March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants within the Indenture that existed whengoverns the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016 was written off to Reorganization items, net during the second quarter of 2016. The $99.2 million face value of the 2032 Notes inclusive of the accumulated accretion was reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016.

5.0% Convertible Senior Exchange Notes due 2032

On September 8, 2015, we closed a privately-negotiated exchange under which we retired $55.0 million in principal amount of outstanding 2032 Notes in exchange for our issuance of approximately $27.5 million in aggregate original principal amount of 2032 Exchange Notes. On October 14, 2015, we closed an additional privately-negotiated exchange under which we retired approximately $17.1 million in aggregate original principal amount of our outstanding 2032 Notes in exchange for our issuance of additional 2032 Exchange Notes in an aggregate original principal amount of approximately $8.5 million. Many terms of the 2032 Exchange Notes remain the same as the 2032 Notes they replaced, including the 5.0% annual cash interest rate and the final maturity date of October 1, 2032.

Like the 2032 Notes, the principal amount of the 2032 Exchange Notes accreted at a rate of 2% per year from August 26, 2013, compounding on a semi-annual basis. The accreted portion of the principal was payable in cash upon maturity but did not bear cash interest and was not convertible into our common stock.

We accounted for these exchange transactions as troubled debt restructuring transactions pursuant to guidance provided by FASB ASC section 470-60 “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors”.  We have determined that the prospective undiscounted cash flows from the 2032 Exchange Notes through their maturity exceed the adjusted carrying amount of the retired 2032 Notes, consequently a gain on extinguishment of debt was not recognized for these exchanges. Accordingly, on the date of the September 8, 2015 exchange, a carrying amount of $45.2 million remained as a liability and we recorded $10.1 million to additional paid in capital representing the net fair value of the convert feature. On the date of the October 14, 2015 exchange, a carrying amount of $14.8 million remained as a liability and we recorded $2.5 million to additional paid in capital representing the net fair value of the convert feature. An annual discount rate of 1.3% and 1.4%, respectively, was being used to amortize the liability until maturity on October 1, 2032. During 2016, holders converted an aggregate amount of $32.4 million of 2032 Exchange Notes into our common stock. The carrying amount of the 2032 Exchange Notes was adjusted downward from $10.2 million to the $6.3 million principal amount when the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016, with the $3.9 million gain recognized in Reorganization items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The $6.4 million face value of the 2032 Exchange Notes inclusive of the accumulated accretion was reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016.

3.25% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2026

NOTE 4—Net Loss Per Common Share


Upon our emergence from bankruptcy on October 12, 2016, as discussed in Note 1, the Predecessor Company's outstanding common stock and preferred stock were canceled, and new common stock and warrants were then issued.

Net loss applicable to common stock was used as the numerator in computing basic and diluted loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015. Included in Net loss applicable to common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 is $5.1 million and $10.2 million, respectively, of preferred stock dividends in arrears as a result of all cash dividends being suspended since the third quarter of 2015 to conserve capital.

NOTE 5—Income Taxes

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. We increased ourrecorded a valuation allowance and reduced ourat December 31, 2016 which resulted in no net deferred tax assets to zero during 2009asset or liability appearing on our statement of financial position. We recorded this valuation allowance after consideringan evaluation of all available positiveevidence (including our recent history of net operating losses in 2016 and negative evidence relatedprior years) that led to a conclusion that based upon the realizationmore-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature, our deferred tax assets. Ourassets were unrecoverable. Considering the Company’s taxable income forecasts, our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and as a result we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2016. We elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” in 2016 on a retrospective basis. The amendments in this update seek to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The implementation did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows. As the noncurrent deferred tax amounts net to zero, they are no longer presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commodity Derivative Activity

We enter into swap contracts, costless collars or other derivative agreements from time to time to manage commodity price risk for a portion of our production. Our policy is that all hedgesderivatives are approved by the Hedging Committee of ourthe Board, of Directors, and reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any outstanding derivatives contracts.

Board.

Despite the measures taken by us to attempt to control price risk, we remain subject to price fluctuations for natural gas and crude oil sold in the spot market. Prices received for natural gas sold on the spot market are volatile due primarily to seasonality of demand and other factors beyond our control. Decreases in domestic crude oil and natural gas spot prices will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis. We routinely exercise our contractual right to net realized gains against realized losses when settling with our financial counterparties. Neither our counterparties nor we require any collateral upon entering derivative contracts. We wouldwere not have been at risk of losing any fair value amounts had our counterparties as a group been unable to fulfill their obligations as of June 30, 2016 or March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015 since2016 because we did not have a net derivative asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at those periods.

As of March 31, 2017, the open positions on our outstanding commodity derivative contracts, all of which were natural gas contracts with BP, were as follows:

2016.

Overview


We are an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties primarily in (i) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend (ii) Southwest Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana, which includes the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale Trend (“TMS”), (ii) Northwest Louisiana and East Texas, which includes the Haynesville Shale Trend, and (iii) South Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford Shale Trend.

Trend.


We seek to increase shareholder value by growing our oil and natural gas reserves, production, revenues and cash flow from operating activities (“operating cash flow.flow”). In our opinion, on a long term basis, growth in oil and natural gas reserves, cash flow and production on a cost-effective basis are the most important indicators of performance success for an independent oil and natural gas company.

We strive to increase our oil and natural gas reserves, production and cash flow through exploration and development activities. We develop an annual capital expenditure budget which is reviewed and approved by our boardBoard of directorsDirectors (the “Board”) on a quarterly basis and revised throughout the year as circumstances warrant. We take into consideration our projected operating cash flow, commodity prices for oil and natural gas and externally available sources of financing, such as bank debt, asset divestitures, issuance of debt and equity securities, and strategic joint ventures, when establishing our capital expenditure budget.

We place primary emphasis on our operating cash flow in managing our business. Management considers operating cash flow a more important indicator of our financial success than other traditional performance measures such as net income because operating cash flow considers only the cash expenses incurred during the period and excludes the non-cash impact of unrealized hedging gains (losses), non-cash general and administrative expenses and impairments.

Our revenues and operating cash flow depend on the successful development of our inventory of capital projects with available capital, the volume and timing of our production, as well as commodity prices for oil and natural gas. Such pricing factors are largely beyond our control; however, we have historically employed commodity hedging techniques in an attempt to minimize the volatility of short term commodity price fluctuations on our earnings and operating cash flow.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

Key Developments

The following general economic developments and corporate actions in 2015 and 2016 had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations:

The Current, Sustained Low Commodity Price Environment

Beginning in the second half of 2014, commodity prices, particularly crude oil, began to decline sharply. The decline became precipitous late in the fourth quarter of 2014 and into 2015.  Crude oil prices declined from a high of over $105 per barrel in June 2014 to less than $27 per barrel in February 2016. Natural gas prices faced similar downward pressure during the same time frame with prices declining from $4.71 per MMBtu in June 2014 to $1.49 per MMBtu in March 2016. As an exploration and production company with interests in unconventional oil and natural gas shale properties that require large investments of capital to develop, the significant magnitude of this price decline has had a particularly material and adverse impact on our results of operations and led to substantial changes in our operating and drilling programs.

In response to the decline in commodity prices, we have focused on managing our balance sheet to reduce leverage and preserve liquidity during this extended low commodity price environment. Specifically, we took the following steps in 2015 to mitigate the effects of lower crude oil prices on our operations and conserve capital:

·

Generated savings by negotiating cost reductions from service providers.

·

Froze salaries at 2014 levels initially and subsequently materially reduced the salaries of our management team.

·

Reduced our staff headcount over 50% from year-end 2014 levels.

·

Reduced discretionary expenditures.

As a result of the continued low commodity price environment, our cash flow from operations has substantially declined and the stock price of our common stock has declined significantly. On January 13, 2016, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) formally commenced delisting procedures for our common stock due to our abnormally low trading price. On January 21, 2016, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC, notifying us of the removal of our common stock from listing.

The extended low commodity price environment has likewise significantly impacted our liquidity as operating cash flow has declined and our lenders have reduced the borrowing capacity under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all amendments, the “Senior Credit Facility”). Given the downturn in oil and natural gas prices, we have faced and expect to continue to face liquidity constraints.  Our cash flows are negatively impacted by lower realized oil and natural gas sales prices. As of December 31, 2015, we no longer have any oil derivative contracts in place. Given the current oil futures pricing, we currently have limited hedging opportunities; as a result, we do not anticipate having in place any derivative positions with respect to our 2016 anticipated oil and condensate sales volumes and thus expect further deteriorating realized sale prices if oil prices do not improve.

The significant decline in oil and natural gas prices also increases the uncertainty of the impact of commodity prices on our estimated proved reserves. We are unable to predict future commodity prices with any greater precision than the futures market.  The prolonged period of depressed commodity prices has significantly impacted our estimated proved reserves, which led to a substantial impairment of our oil and natural gas properties as of December 31, 2015.  If downward revisions of proved reserves occur in the future, we could have further increases in our depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) rates and additional oil and natural gas property impairment charges. We are unable to predict the timing and amount of future reserve revisions, nor the impact such revisions may have on our future DD&A rates or oil and natural gas property impairments. Future declines in commodity prices and estimated proved reserves could lead to further reductions of our borrowing base under the Senior Credit Facility. Such reductions could prevent us from borrowing additional amounts under the Senior Credit Facility or, if the borrowing base were to be reduced below the then-outstanding borrowings, could require us to repay the shortfall and could otherwise limit our ability to obtain alternative financing.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code

On April 15, 2016, (the “Petition Date”), Goodrich Petroleum Corporationwe and itsour subsidiary Goodrich Petroleum Company, L.L.C. (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary Bankruptcy petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions” and, the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the


Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to pursue a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. The CompanyWe filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the caption In re Goodrich Petroleum Corporation, et al. (Case No. 16-31975). The Company will continue to operate as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable


provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and an order of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is accounting for the bankruptcy in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)852, “Reorganizations.” The Company filed a series of first day motions with the Bankruptcy Court that allowed it to continue to conduct business without interruption. These motions are designed primarily to minimize the impact on the Company’s operations, customers and employees.

Prior to filing the Chapter 11 Cases, on March 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with certain holders of the Company’s 8.0% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 and 8.875% Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Second Lien Notes”). The Restructuring Support Agreement sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitment to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Debtors, and on the other hand, the certain holders, in connection with a restructuring of the Company’s Second Lien Notes, 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), 5.0% Convertible Exchange Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Exchange Notes”), 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019, 5.375% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), 10% Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), 9.75% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”), 10% Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) and the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share, pursuant to the Company’s Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization filed under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on the Petition Date. On May 21, 2016, the Restructuring Support Agreement was terminated automatically pursuant to its terms as an Assumption Order approving the Restructuring Support Agreement was not entered by the Bankruptcy Court within thirty-five days of the Petition Date. See discussion on theOur joint plan of reorganization below.

The Chapter 11 Cases described above constituted an event(the “Plan of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under all of its outstanding debt instruments. The agreements governing the Company’s debt instruments provide that as a result of the Bankruptcy Petitions, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. However, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Company’s debt instruments have been automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the debt instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Reorganization Process

On April 18, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued certain additional interim and final orders with respect to the Debtors’ first-day motions and other operating motions that allow the Debtors to operate their businesses in the ordinary course. Subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions. Thus, for example, most creditor actions to obtain possession of property from the Debtors, or to create, perfect or enforce any lien against the Debtors’ property, or to collect on monies owed or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to a pre-petition claim are enjoined unless and until the Bankruptcy Court lifts the automatic stay.

Under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, assume and assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, including leases of real property and equipment, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. The Debtors may not assume such contracts or leases unless, at the time of assumption, the Debtors: (1) cure any default or provides adequate assurance that the default will be promptly cured; (2) compensate or provide adequate assurance that the Debtors will promptly compensate the other party for any pecuniary loss resulting from defaults; and (3) provide adequate assurance of future performance under the contract.

A Chapter 11 plan determines the rights and satisfaction of claims and interests of various creditors and security holders and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations and the Bankruptcy Court’s decisions through the date on which a Chapter 11 plan is confirmed. The Debtors currently expect that any proposed Chapter 11 plan, among other things, would provide mechanisms for settlement of the Debtors’ pre-petition obligations, changes to certain operational cost drivers, treatment of the Company’s existing equity holders, potential income tax liabilities and certain corporate governance and administrative matters pertaining to the reorganized new entity. Any proposed Chapter 11 plan will be subject to revision prior to submission to the Bankruptcy Court based upon discussions with the Debtors’ creditors, including the lenders under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including all amendments, the “Senior Credit Facility”Reorganization”) and holders of the Company’s unsecured notes and preferred stock, and other interested parties, and thereafter in response to creditor claims and objections and the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Debtors will be able to secure approval for any Chapter 11 plan from the Bankruptcy Court or that any Chapter 11 plan will be accepted by the Debtors’ creditors.


Under the priority rankings established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless creditors agree otherwise, pre-petition liabilities and post-petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before both preferred and common stockholders are entitled to receive any distribution or retain any property under a Chapter 11 plan. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or stockholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed to each of these constituencies or what types or amounts of distributions, if any, they would receive. A Chapter 11 plan could result in holders of certain liabilities and/or securities, including common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests. Because of such possibilities, there is significant uncertainty regarding the value of our liabilities and securities, including our common stock. At this time, there is no assurance we will be able to restructure as a going concern or successfully propose or implement a Chapter 11 plan.

For the duration of the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 process as described in Part II Item 1A, “Risk Factors”. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the number of the Company’s outstanding shares and shareholders, assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties and capital plans included in this quarterly report may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and capital plans following the Chapter 11 process. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has conducted normal business activities and was authorized to continue to pay and has paid (subject to limitations applicable to payments of certain pre-petition obligations) pre-petition employee wages and benefits, pre-petition amounts owed to certain lienholders, critical vendors and other third parties, such as royalty holders and partners.

On July 25, 2016 the Company entered into and filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to approve a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with a group of investors for the new issuance of 13.5% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien Notes in the initial aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Convertible Second Lien Notes”).  The Bankruptcy Court approved the motion on August 4, 2016, which will allow the Company to submit a revised plan of organization to the Bankruptcy Court. The approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Commitment Letter terminates the bid procedures that were previously approvedconfirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on July 1,September 28, 2016 and we emerged from bankruptcy on October 12, 2016 (the “Effective Date”).


Upon our emergence from bankruptcy, we adopted Fresh Start Accounting in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 852, "Reorganizations". This resulted in our becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. At that time, our assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the Effective Date. The effects of the Plan of Reorganization and our application of fresh start accounting are reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016.

Results of Operations

For

In addition to adopting Fresh Start Accounting, the three months ended June 30,Successor also adopted the Full Cost Method of Accounting as of October 12, 2016. Prior to October 12, 2016, we reported net loss applicablethe Predecessor used the Successful Efforts Method of Accounting. The results of operations of the Successor and the Predecessor are not generally comparable nor are they individually comparable with prior periods. We believe however, that production volumes, oil and natural gas revenues, lease operating expenses and production and other taxes are generally comparable and consequently, unless otherwise indicated, the tables and discussions below include such comparisons between the Predecessor and the Successor for these operational items. We believe this presentation gives the reader a better understanding of our operational results in 2017.
The Predecessor 2016 Period results of operations reflects the period from January 1, 2016 to common stock of $10.3 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $6.3 million as compared to a net loss applicable to common stock of $39.0 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we reported net loss applicable to common stock of $30.1 million, or $0.39 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $12.6 million as compared to net loss applicable to common stock of $67.6 million, or $1.27 per basic and diluted share, on total revenue of $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

March 31, 2016. The items that had the most material financial effect on us in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 were revenues, depreciation, depletion and amortization and interest expense.  Revenues were down due to significantly lower realized oil and natural gas sales prices as well as lower oil, condensate and natural gas production volumes. The decreases reflected in depreciation, depletion and amortization were driven by lower rates resulting from substantial impairment charges recognized in the fourth quarterNet Loss of 2015, the sale of our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties in September 2015 and lower oil and natural gas production volumes. We recognized substantially lower interest expense during$18.7 million for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 as a direct result


were the cost of our Bankruptcy Petitions filedfailed restructuring effort prior to filing for bankruptcy, interest expense and depletion, depreciation and amortization expense.
The Successor 2017 Period results of operations reflects the period from January 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017. The item that had the most material financial effect on April 15, 2016.

the Net Loss of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was lease operating expense. Lease operating expense in the period included $2.1 million in workover expenses incurred in our effort to increase production volumes after having curtailed such expenditures while in bankruptcy.

The following table reflects our summary operating information for the periods presented (inin thousands, except for price and volume data).data.

Revenues from Operations

Revenues from operations decreased


Natural gas, oil and condensate revenues increased by $19.8$2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2015, reflecting lower average realized2016, primarily driven by higher natural gas oilproduction and condensate sales prices, which decreased revenues by $7.0 million, while


the decline inhigher realized oil and natural gas prices. The increase in natural gas production volumes decreased revenues by $12.8 million.is attributed to two Haynesville Shale Trend wells drilled in late 2016. Beginning in August 2016, we elected to take our production in-kind and market the majority of our non-operated Haynesville Shale Trend natural gas volumes resulting in an improvement in the prices we received on such natural gas volumes. Natural gas realized prices for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included the netting of transportation and processing costs on such volumes which was discontinued upon taking our production in-kind. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, 79%March 31, 2017, 56% of our oil and natural gas revenue was attributable to oilnatural gas sales compared to 84%24% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Approximately 54% ofMarch 31, 2016. We are concentrating on increasing our natural gas production volumes through increased drilling in the production volume decreaseHaynesville Shale Trend.


Operating Expenses
As described below, operating expenses increased $2.4 million to $6.1 million in 2016 resulted from the sale of our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties in September 2015.

Revenues from operations decreased by $37.5 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2015, reflecting lower average realized natural gas, oil2016. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of $2.1 million of lease operating expense workover costs and condensate sales prices, which decreased revenuesrecognition of additional transportation expense in the first quarter of 2017 by $15.6 million, while the decline in oilvirtue of taking our production in-kind and selling our non-operated natural gas production volumes decreased revenues by $21.9 million. Forin the six months ended June 30, 2016, 77% of our oil and natural gas revenue was attributable to oil sales compared to 83% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Approximately 58% of the production volume decrease in 2016 resulted from the sale of our Eagle FordHaynesville Shale Trend properties in September 2015.

Lease Operating Expense

Lease operating expense (“LOE”) during the three month period ended June 30, 2016 decreasedMarch 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of a $1.9 million decrease from our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties that were soldincrease is substantially attributed to an increase in September 2015 and lower operating costs for our TMS properties. Workover expense in the second quarter of 2016 totaled $0.4 million which added $1.02 per Boe to unit expense compared to workover expense of $0.6expense. We incurred $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 which added $0.75 per Boe to unit expense.

LOE during the six month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased compared toworkover cost in the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was the resultMarch 31, 2017 and $0.2 million of a $3.7 million decrease from our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties that were soldworkover cost in September 2015 and lower operating costs for our TMS properties. Workover expense for 2016 totaled $0.5 million which added $0.69 per Boe to unit expense compared to workover expense of $0.8 million for the same period in 2015 which added $0.53 per Boe to unit expense.

Production and Other Taxes

Production and other taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 included production tax of $0.2$0.3 million and ad valorem tax of $0.5$0.3 million. During the comparable period in 2015,2016, production and other taxes included production tax of $0.8$0.3 million and ad valorem tax of $0.6$0.4 million.


Production and other taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 includedremained flat reflecting decreased oil production volumes directly offset by tax of $0.5 million and ad valorem tax of $0.9 million. During the comparable period in 2015, production and other taxes included production tax of $1.4 million and ad valorem tax of $1.4 million.

Production and other taxes decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2016increases due to lower crude oil pricesthe expiration of the exemption on certain wells in Mississippi and a decrease from our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties that were sold in September 2015.Louisiana. The State of Mississippi has enacted an exemption from the existing 6%6.0% severance tax for horizontal wells drilled after July 1, 2013 with production commencing before July 1, 2018, which will beis partially offset by a 1.3% local severance tax on such wells. The exemption is applicable until the earlier of (i) 30


months from the date of first sale of production or (ii) until payout of the well cost is achieved.well. The State of Louisiana has also enacted an exemption from the existing 12.5% severance tax for horizontal wells with production commencing after July 31, 1994. The exemption is applicable until the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of first sale of production or (ii) until payout of the well cost is achieved.well. The net revenues from our wells drilled in our TMS acreage in Southwestern Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana have been favorably impacted by these exemptions.


The slight decrease in ad valorem tax between periods reflects the reduction in the assessed values of our properties.

Transportation and Processing Expense


Transportation and processing expense decreased infor the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 comparedMarch 31, 2017 includes $1.0 million of transportation fees incurred on natural gas volumes that we take in-kind and pay directly to the same periods in 2015. The decrease is due to lower operatedtransporter on non-operated Haynesville Shale Trend natural gas production, as our natural gas production incurs substantially all of ourvolumes, effective with August 2016 production. The transportation and processing cost. The lower natural gas production is directly associated with the sale of our Eagle Ford Shale Trend properties in September 2015.

Exploration

The decrease in exploration expense for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2016 compareddid not include these take in-kind transportation fees as gathering fees for that period were netted against the Company's realized natural gas price.


Exploration
The Successor Company adopted the Full Cost Method of accounting as of October 12, 2016, resulting in Exploration Cost being capitalized to the same periods in 2015 is attributable to a decrease in leasehold amortization costs related to non-cash lease expirations in our TMS, Haynesville Shale Trend and Eagle Ford Shale Trend acreage.

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expense


The Successor Company recorded $4.5 million in G&A expense decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. The decrease stems from lower compensation expense, professional fees and corporate governance costs. We have reduced our staff headcount by more than 50% from January 2015 levels.  The higher rate per Boe for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, reflects a 51% decline in oil and natural gas production during 2016, compared to 2015. Share-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash item, totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a $0.8 million decrease over the same period in 2015.  Share-based compensation expense, totaled $2.2March 31, 2017, which includes non-cash expenses of (i) $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a $1.6share based compensation, (ii) $0.7 million decrease over the same period in 2015.

Gain (loss) on Commodity Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

Gain


Loss on commodity derivatives not designated as hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 is comprised of an unrealized gainloss of $0.1$0.4 million, representing the change of the fair value of our natural gas derivative contracts. There were no oil or natural gas derivative contract settlements during the periods presented. The natural gas derivative contracts that were outstanding as of December 31, 2015 were terminated in April 2016 prior to their contractual expiration date of December 31, 2016, because the Bankruptcy Petitions filedoff set by the Company on April 15, 2016 represented an event of default under the derivative agreements. All of our oil derivative contracts expired in December 2015.

Loss on derivatives not designated as hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2015 includes an unrealized loss of $17.1 million for the change of the fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts and net cash receipts of $11.1 million on the settlement of our oil derivatives. There were no natural gas derivative contract settlements during the period. The unrealized loss consisted of a $17.1 million loss on our oil derivatives. The decrease in fair value of our oil derivative contracts reflects the realization of settled contracts.

Loss on derivatives not designated as hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2015 includes an unrealized loss of $25.8 million for the change of the fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts and net cash receipts of $24.3 million on the settlement of our oil derivatives. There were no natural gas derivative contract settlements during the period. The unrealized loss consisted of a $0.2$0.1 million gain on our natural gas derivatives and a $26.0 million loss on our oil derivatives. The unrealized loss on oil derivatives and the decrease in fair value of our oil derivative contracts reflects the roll off of settled oil derivative contracts during 2015.

Restructuring

As a result of the our efforts to restructure the Company outside of bankruptcy and the preliminary preparation involved in filing the Chapter 11 Cases during the first quarter of 2016, and the subsequent preparation involved in filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we incurred significant professional fees and other costs. Restructuring costs during the first and second quarter of 2016 totaled $4.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

million. No restructuring costs were incurred during the first quarter of 2017.


Reorganization items, net

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we have incurred and continue to incur significant professional fees and other costs in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases. Reorganization costs incurred for professional fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $2.1 million. The costs of professional fees were offset by various non-cash adjustments to the carrying amounts of our Second Lien Notes and senior notes.

 We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and costs until obtaining a final decree from the bankruptcy court. We believe that the estimated liability we have established for the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

these costs is sufficient to cover such cost.


Income Tax Benefit

We recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. We increased ourrecorded a valuation allowance and reduced ourat December 31, 2016 which resulted in no net deferred tax assets to zero during 2009asset or liability appearing on our statement of financial position. We recorded this valuation allowance after consideringan evaluation of all available positiveevidence (including our recent history of net operating losses in 2016 and negative evidence relatedprior years) that led to a conclusion that based upon the realizationmore-likely-than-not standard of the accounting literature, our deferred tax assets. Ourassets were unrecoverable. Considering the Company’s taxable income forecasts, our assessment of the realization of our deferred tax assets has not changed, and as a result, we continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for our net deferred assettax assets as of June 30, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX


Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX is a supplemental non-US GAAPnon-United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“US GAAP”) financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as earnings before interest expense, income tax, DD&A, exploration expense, stockshare based compensation expense and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same way, but EBITDA reflects the absence of exploration expense in the Full Cost Method of Accounting. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX, gains/losses on commodity derivatives lessnot designated as hedges and net cash received or paid in settlement of commodity derivativesderivative instruments are excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX.also excluded. Other excluded items include Interestinterest income, and other, Gain/lossgain on

Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), as defined by US GAAP.

Management believes that this non-US GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors because it is monitored and used by our management and widely used by professional research analysts in the valuation and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA/EBITDAX may not be comparable to other similarly totaled measures of other companies.




Liquidity and Capital Resources


Overview

Our primary sources of cash during the secondfirst quarter of 20162017 were cash on hand and cash from operating activities. We used cash primarily to fund capital expenditures, pay restructuring and reorganization professional fees and pay interest due on the Senior Credit Facility.expenditures. We do notcurrently plan to have any materialfund our operations and capital expenditures for the remainder of 2016 and will fund our operations2017 through a combination of cash on hand and cash from operating activities.

activities, although we may from time to time consider the funding alternatives described below.


We have in place a Seniorexited the first quarter of 2017 with cash on hand of $37.9 million. As of March 31, 2017, we had outstanding debt under the Exit Credit Facility of $16.7 million which matures at the earliest in September 2018 and $42.6 million Convertible Second Lien Notes outstanding, which matures at the earliest in August, 2019.

Our total capital expenditure budget for 2017 is expected to range between $40 million to $50 million. We plan to focus all our 2017 drilling efforts in the Haynesville Shale Trend.
We continuously monitor our leverage position and coordinate our capital program with a syndicateour expected cash flows and repayment of U.S. and international lenders. As of June 30, 2016, we had a $20.0 million borrowing base with $40.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $10.1 million of cash. Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, borrowing base redeterminations occur on a semi-annual basis on April 1 and October 1. The borrowing base was reduced to $20.0 million on April 1, 2016. As a result of such borrowing base reduction, the Company has a borrowing base deficiency of $20.0 million. Furthermore, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on April 15, 2016 constituted an event of default under the Senior Credit Facility.

Since filing the Bankruptcy Petitions, our principal sources of liquidity have been limited to cash flow from operations and cash on hand. In addition to the cash requirements necessary to fund ongoing operations, we have incurred and continue to incur significant professional fees and other costs in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases.projected debt. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant professional feesevaluate funding alternatives as needed.

Alternatives available to us include:
sale of non-core assets;
joint venture partnerships in our TMS, Eagle Ford Shale Trend, and/or core Haynesville Shale Trend acreage;
entering into a replacement bank credit facility; and costs
issuance of debt or equity securities.

We have supported our cash flows with derivative contracts which covered approximately 38% of our natural gas sales volumes for the pendencyfirst quarter of 2017. We had no oil derivative contracts for the Chapter 11 Cases.

Outlook and Capital Resources

Although we believe our cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be adequatefirst quarter of 2017. See Note 6-“Commodity Derivative Activities” in the Notes to meet the operating costsConsolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of our existing business, there are no assurances that our cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations or to allow us to continue as a going concern until a Chapter 11 plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court or other alternative restructuring transaction is approved by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated. Our long-term liquidity requirements, the adequacy of our capital resources and our ability to continue as a going concern are difficult to predict at this time and ultimately cannot be determined until a Chapter 11 plan has been confirmed, if at all, by the Bankruptcy Court. If our future sources of liquidity are insufficient, we could face substantial liquidity constraints and be unable to continue as a going concern and will likely be required to continue to delay or even eliminate capital expenditures, implement further cost reductions, seek other financing alternatives or seek to sell some or all of our assets. If we are unsuccessful in developing reserves and adding production through our capital spending

The carrying amount for the Senior Credit Facility represents fair value as it is fully secured. The fair values of the notes were obtained by direct market quotes within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our Second Lien Notes and 2032 Exchange Notes was obtained using a discounted cash flow model within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are defined in “Item 1—Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.(1) The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon a maturity date of August 30, 2019. The principal includes $2.6 million and $1.2 million of paid in-kind interest at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The carrying value includes $10.1 million and $10.6 million of unamortized debt discount at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

(2)

The debt discount was being amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon a two and a half year term through September 1, 2017, the first repurchase date applicable to the 8.0% Second Lien Notes. The $13.1 million debt discount that existed when the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016 was written off to Reorganization items, net during the second quarter of 2016. The debt discount was $17.0 million on December 31, 2015.  

(3)

The debt discount was being amortized using the effective interest rate method based upon a four year term through October 1, 2017, the first repurchase date applicable to the 2032 Notes. The $1.7 million debt discount that existed when the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016 was written off to Reorganization items, net during the second quarter of 2016. The debt discount was $2.0 million on December 31, 2015.

The carrying amount of debt is net of deferred loan costs of $1.0 million and $5.1 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Deferred financing costs are and were amortized using the straight-line method through the contractual maturity dates for the Senior Credit Facility and 2019 Notes, through the first put date of September 1, 2017 for the 8.0% Second Lien Notes and through the first put date of October 1, 2017 for the 2032 Notes. The $3.0 million of deferred loan costs for the 2019 Notes, 8.0% Second Lien Notes and 2032 Notes that existed when the Bankruptcy Petitions were filed on April 15, 2016 was written off to Reorganization items, net during the second quarter of 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements which were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe that certain accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, includes a discussion of our critical accounting policies and there have been no material changes to such policies during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016.

Item 3—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These fluctuations can affect revenues and cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Our risk-management policies provide for the use of derivative instruments to manage these risks. The types of derivative instruments we utilize include futures, swaps, options and fixed-price physical-delivery contracts. The volume of commodity derivative instruments we utilize may vary from year to year and is governed by risk-management policies with levels of authority delegated by our Board of Directors.Board. Both exchange and over-the-counter traded commodity derivative instruments may be subject to margin deposit requirements, and we may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or its counterparties in order to satisfy these margin requirements.

For information regarding our accounting policies and additional information related to our derivative and financial instruments, see Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies”, Note 3—“Debt”and Note 6—“Commodity Derivative Activities” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Commodity Price Risk


Our most significant market risk relates to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. Management expects the prices of these commodities to remain volatile and unpredictable. As these prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flow will also decline or rise significantly. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and natural gas properties may be required if future


commodity prices experience a sustained and significant decline. As of December 31, 2015, we no longer had any oil derivative contracts in place. TheWe entered into natural gas derivative contracts that were outstandinginstruments during the three months ended March 31, 2017 in order to reduce the price risk associated with production in the first quarter of 2017 of approximately 12,000 MMBtu per day. We did not enter into derivatives instruments for trading purposes. Utilizing actual derivative contractual volumes, a hypothetical 10% increase in underlying commodity prices would have increased the derivative liability position, while a hypothetical 10% decrease in underlying commodity prices would have decreased the derivative liability. The aforementioned decrease and increase in the net derivative liability position would have been de minimis to our consolidated financial statements as of DecemberMarch 31, 2015 were terminated2017. Furthermore, a gain or loss would have been


substantially offset by an increase or decrease, respectively, in April 2016 prior to their contractual expiration datethe actual sales value of December 31, 2016, because the Bankruptcy Petitions filedproduction covered by the Company on April 15, 2016 represented an event of default under the derivative agreements. Given the current oil futures pricing, we currently have limited hedging opportunities; as a result, we do not anticipate having in place any derivative positions with respect to our 2016 anticipated oil and condensate sales volumes and thus expect further deteriorating realized sale prices if oil prices do not improve.

instruments.


Adoption of Comprehensive Financial Reform


The adoption of comprehensive financial reform legislation by the United States Congress could have an adverse effect on our ability to use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of commodity price, interest rate and other risks associated with our business. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4—Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that any material information relating to us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(c)13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, based upon their evaluation as of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the end of the period covered in this report, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1—Legal Proceedings

A discussion of our current bankruptcy and legal proceedings is set forth in Part I, Item 1 under Note 1—“Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 87—“Commitments and Contingencies” to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item II under “—Emergence from Bankruptcy” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we did not have any material outstanding and pending litigation.

Item 1A—Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors below and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases.

For the duration of our Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to develop and execute our business plan, and our continuation as a going concern, are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include the following:



Item 6—Exhibits

·

our ability to develop, confirm and consummate the Plan or another plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases;

·

the high costs of bankruptcy Cases and related fees;

·

our ability to obtain sufficient financing to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy and execute our business plan post-emergence;

·

our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees, and other third parties;

·

our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations;

·

our ability to execute our business plan in the current depressed commodity price environment;

·

our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees;

·

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;

·

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 proceeding; and

·

the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.

Delays in our Chapter 11 Cases increase the risks of our being unable to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy and increase our costs associated with the bankruptcy process.

These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events associated with our Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees, and other third parties, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Also, we need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.


We may not be able to obtain confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

In order to emerge successfully from Bankruptcy Court protection as a viable entity, we must meet certain statutory disclosure requirements with respect to adequacy of disclosure with respect to a Plan, solicit and obtain the requisite acceptances of such a Plan and fulfill other statutory conditions for confirmation of such a Plan, which have not occurred to date. The confirmation process is subject to numerous potential delays, including a delay in the Bankruptcy Court’s commencement of the confirmation hearing regarding our Plan.

We may not receive the requisite acceptances of constituencies in the proceedings related to the Chapter 11 Cases to confirm our Plan.  Even if the requisite acceptances of our Plan are received, the Bankruptcy Court may not confirm such a plan.  The precise requirements and evidentiary showing for confirming a plan, notwithstanding its rejection by one or more impaired classes of claims or equity interests, depends upon a number of factors including, without limitation, the status and seniority of the claims or equity interests in the rejecting class (i.e., secured claims or unsecured claims, subordinated or senior claims, preferred or common stock).

If a Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether we would be able to reorganize our business and what, if anything, holders of claims against us would ultimately receive with respect to their claims.

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and continue as a going concern.

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, we will continue to face a number of risks, such as further deterioration in commodity prices or other changes in economic conditions, changes in our industry, changes in demand for our oil and gas and increasing expenses. Some of these risks become more acute when a case under the Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period without indication of how or when the case may be completed. As a result of these risks and others, we cannot guarantee that our Plan or any other Chapter 11 plan of reorganization will achieve our stated goals.

In addition, at the outset of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Code gives the Debtor the exclusive right to propose the plan of reorganization and prohibits creditors, equity security holders and others from proposing a plan. We have currently retained the exclusive right to propose the Plan. If the Bankruptcy Court terminates that right, however, or the exclusivity period expires, there could be a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve confirmation of the Plan in order to achieve our stated goals.

Furthermore, even if our debts are reduced or discharged through the Plan, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing or other various means to fund our business after the completion of the Chapter 11 Cases. Our access to additional financing is, and for the foreseeable future will likely continue to be, extremely limited, if it is available at all. Therefore, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms, if they are available at all.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital. As a result, we cannot give any assurance of our ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Plan is confirmed.

Any plan of reorganization that we may implement will be based in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions and analyses prove to be incorrect, our plan may be unsuccessful in its execution.

Any plan of reorganization that we may implement could affect both our capital structure and the ownership, structure and operation of our businesses and will reflect assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we consider appropriate under the circumstances. Whether actual future results and developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) our ability to change substantially our capital structure; (ii) our ability to obtain adequate liquidity and financing sources; (iii) our ability to maintain customers' confidence in our viability as a continuing entity and to attract and retain sufficient business from them; (iv) our ability to retain key employees, and (v) the overall strength and stability of general economic conditions of the financial and oil and gas industries, both in the U.S. and in global markets. The failure of any of these factors could materially adversely affect the successful reorganization of our businesses.


In addition, any plan of reorganization will rely upon financial projections, including with respect to revenues, EBITDAX, capital expenditures, debt service and cash flow. Financial forecasts are necessarily speculative, and it is likely that one or more of the assumptions and estimates that are the basis of these financial forecasts will not be accurate. In our case, the forecasts will be even more speculative than normal, because they may involve fundamental changes in the nature of our capital structure. Accordingly, we expect that our actual financial condition and results of operations will differ, perhaps materially, from what we have anticipated. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results or developments contemplated by any plan of reorganization we may implement will occur or, even if they do occur, that they will have the anticipated effects on us and our subsidiaries or our businesses or operations. The failure of any such results or developments to materialize as anticipated could materially adversely affect the successful execution of any plan of reorganization.

We have substantial liquidity needs and may be required to seek additional financing. If we are unable to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or maintain adequate liquidity, our ability to replace our proved reserves or to maintain current production levels and generate revenue will be limited.

Our principal sources of liquidity historically have been cash flow from operations, sales of oil and natural gas properties, borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility, and issuances of debt securities. Our capital program will require additional financing above the level of cash generated by our operations to fund growth. If our cash flow from operations remains depressed or decreases as a result of lower commodity prices or otherwise, our ability to expend the capital necessary to replace our proved reserves, maintain our leasehold acreage or maintain current production may be limited, resulting in decreased production and proved reserves over time. In addition, drilling activity may be directed by our partners in certain areas and we may have to forfeit acreage if we do not have sufficient capital resources to fund our portion of expenses.

We face uncertainty regarding the adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources and have extremely limited, if any, access to additional financing. In addition to the cash necessary to fund our ongoing operations, we have incurred significant professional fees and other costs in connection with preparation for our Chapter 11 Cases and expect that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and costs throughout our Chapter 11 Cases. We cannot assure you that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our operations and allow us to satisfy our obligations related to our Chapter 11 cases until we are able to emerge from our Chapter 11 Cases.

Our liquidity, including our ability to meet our ongoing operational obligations, is dependent upon, among other things; (i) our ability to comply with the terms and condition of any cash collateral order entered by the Bankruptcy Court in connection with our Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand; (iii) our ability to generate cash flow from operations, (iv) our ability to develop, confirm and consummate a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or other alternative restructuring transaction; and (v) the cost, duration and outcome of our Chapter 11 Cases. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity depends in part upon industry conditions and general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. In the event that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations is not sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, we may be required to seek additional financing. We can provide no assurance that additional financing would be available or, if available, offered to us on acceptable terms. Our access to additional financing is, and for the foreseeable future will likely continue to be, extremely limited if it is available at all. Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict at this time.

In certain instances, a Chapter 11 case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may convert our Chapter 11 case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. We believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our creditors than those provided for in our Plan because of (i) the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than a controlled manner and as a going concern, (ii) additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee, and (iii) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

We believe it is highly likely that the shares of our existing common stock will be cancelled in our Chapter 11 Cases.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness that is senior to our existing common stock in our capital structure. As a result, we believe that it is highly likely that the shares of our existing common stock will be cancelled in our Chapter 11 Cases and our common stockholders will be entitled to a limited recovery, if any. Accordingly, any trading in shares of our common stock during the pendency of our Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of shares of our common stock.


We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in our Chapter 11 Cases, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation. With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to confirmation of the plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization and (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the plan of reorganization. Any claims not ultimately discharged through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization could be asserted against the reorganized entities and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.

Our financial results may be volatile and may not reflect historical trends.

During our Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as asset impairments, asset dispositions, restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments may significantly impact our consolidated financial statements. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the date of our Chapter 11 filing.

In addition, if we emerge from Chapter 11, the amounts reported in subsequent consolidated financial statements may materially change relative to historical consolidated financial statements, including as a result of revisions to our operating plans pursuant to a plan of reorganization. We also may be required to adopt fresh start accounting, in which case our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our financial results after the application of fresh start accounting also may be different from historical trends.

Transfers of our equity, or issuances of equity before or in connection with our Chapter 11 Cases, may impair our ability to utilize our federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards in future years.

Under federal income tax law, a corporation is generally permitted to deduct from taxable income net operating losses carried forward from prior years. We have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $824.6 million as of December 31, 2015. Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income and to reduce federal income tax liability is subject to certain requirements and restrictions. If we experience an “ownership change”, as defined in section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, then our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited, which could have a negative impact on our financial position and results of operations. Generally, there is an “ownership change” if one or more stockholders owning 5% or more of a corporation’s common stock have aggregate increases in their ownership of such stock of more than 50 percentage points over the prior three-year period. Under section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, absent an applicable exception, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change”, the amount of its net operating losses that may be utilized to offset future table income generally is subject to an annual limitation. Even if the net operating loss carryforwards is subject to limitation under Section 382, the net operating losses can be reduced from the amount of discharge of indebtedness arising in a Chapter 11 case under Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code.

We have requested that the Bankruptcy Court approve restrictions on certain transfers of our stock to limit the risk of an “ownership change” prior to our restructuring in our Chapter 11 Cases.  Following the implementation of a plan of reorganization, it is likely that an “ownership change” will be deemed to occur and our net operating losses will nonetheless be subject to annual limitation.  However, if an “ownership change” has not occurred prior to our reorganization, a provision in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code related to Chapter 11 Cases may increase the amount of net operating losses available to utilize annually under the limitation.

The pursuit of the Chapter 11 Cases has consumed and will continue to consume a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management and will impact how our business is conducted, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

A long period of operating under Chapter 11 could adversely affect our business and results of operations. While the Chapter 11 Cases continue, our senior management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the Cases. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Chapter 11 Cases are protracted.
