Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation | ' |
NOTE 1—ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
Dune Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dune” or the “Company”), is an independent energy company that was formed in 1998. Since May 2004, we have been engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas. Dune sells its oil and gas production primarily to domestic pipelines and refineries. Its operations are presently focused in the states of Texas and Louisiana. | |
Dune prepared these financial statements according to the instructions for Form 10-Q. Therefore, the financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. However, Dune has recorded all transactions and adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The adjustments made are normal and recurring. The following notes describe only the material changes in accounting policies, account details or financial statement notes during the first nine months of 2013. Therefore, please read these financial statements and notes to the financial statements together with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 cannot necessarily be used to project results for the full year. | |
Reclassifications | |
Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. | |
Revenue recognition | |
Dune records oil and gas revenues following the entitlement method of accounting for production in which any excess amount received above Dune’s share is treated as a liability. If less than Dune’s share is received, the underproduction is recorded as an asset. Dune did not have an imbalance position in terms of volumes or values at September 30, 2013. Additionally, Dune records the sale of emission credits as other revenue in the period they are sold. | |
Impairment of oil and gas properties | |
Impairment analysis is performed on an ongoing basis. In addition to using estimates of oil and gas reserve volumes in conducting impairment analysis, it is also necessary to estimate future oil and gas prices and costs, considering all available evidence at the date of review. The impairment evaluation triggers include a significant long-term decrease in current and projected prices or reserve volumes, an accumulation of project costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected and historical and current negative operating losses. Although we evaluate future oil and gas prices as part of the impairment analysis, we do not view short-term decreases in prices, even if significant, as impairment triggering events. | |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company impaired its oil and gas properties by $22,250,000, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This impairment primarily resulted from the impact of lower expected future oil prices on the economic life of the Garden Island Bay field proved reserves. The application of this non-cash accounting assessment was triggered by the publication of the mid-year, D&M Reserve Report and the backwardation of the published strip price of WTI oil on the effective date of the report. | |
Asset retirement obligation | |
The Company follows FASB ASC 410—Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement obligations of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. This standard requires the Company to record a liability for the fair value of the dismantlement and plugging and abandonment costs excluding salvage values. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized each period and the capitalized cost is amortized over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. | |
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company increased the asset retirement obligation associated with the Garden Island Bay field by $4,820,851. This change resulted from the acceleration of plugging and abandonment costs in that field and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013. | |
Loss per share | |
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods, including dilutive effects of stock options and warrants granted. Dilutive options and warrants that are issued during a period or that expire or are canceled during a period are reflected in the computations for the time they were outstanding during the periods being reported. Since Dune has incurred losses for all periods, the impact of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive and therefore are not included in the calculation. |

Credit Agreement | |||||||||
On December 22, 2011, concurrent with our Restructuring, Wayzata assigned to Bank of Montreal its rights and obligations under our existing Credit Agreement pursuant to an agreement, by and among the Company and Dune Properties, Inc., as borrowers, Dune Operating Company, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo and Wayzata, as agents and lenders. In connection with such assignment, on December 22, 2011, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2011 (the “New Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, CIT Capital Securities LLC, as syndication agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”). | |||||||||
The New Credit Agreement will mature on December 22, 2015. The Lenders have committed to provide up to $200 million of loans and up to $10 million of letters of credit, provided that the sum of the outstanding loans and the face amount of the outstanding letters of credit cannot exceed $200 million at any time and further provided that the availability of loans under the New Credit Agreement will be limited by a borrowing base (initially set at $63 million and reduced to $50 million as of May 1, 2012) as in effect from time to time, which is determined by the Lenders at their discretion based upon their evaluation of the Company’s oil and gas properties. The principal balance of the loans may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except for losses incurred by the Lenders as a consequence of such prepayment. Amounts repaid under the New Credit Agreement may be reborrowed. | |||||||||
The New Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants as well as other customary representations and warranties and events of default. | |||||||||
On September 25, 2012, the parties entered into an Amendment to the New Credit Agreement. Prior to the amendment, the New Credit Agreement provided that the Company would not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0. The Amendment to the New Credit Agreement provided that the Company will not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2012, permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 5.0 to 1.0. On March 31, 2013, and thereafter, the Company would not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0. An amendment fee of $100,000 was paid for this change. | |||||||||
On May 3, 2013, the parties entered into the Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment to the New Credit Agreement provided that the Company will not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2013 permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 5.0 to 1.0. It further provides that the Company will not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013 permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 4.5 to 1.0. On September 30, 2013, and thereafter, the Company will not, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, permit its ratio of Total Debt as of such day to EBITDAX for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters ending on such day to be greater than 4.0 to 1.0. An amendment fee of $100,000 was paid for this change. | |||||||||
Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement equaled $9.0 million and $2 million of letters of credit as of September 30, 2013. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $13,000,000. | |||||||||
Restructuring of Senior Secured Notes | |||||||||
On December 22, 2011, the Company completed its restructuring, which included the consummation of the exchange of $297,012,000 aggregate principal amount, or approximately 99%, of the Senior Secured Notes for 2,485,616 shares of the Company’s newly issued common stock, 247,506 shares of a new series of preferred stock that mandatorily converted into 35,021,098 shares of the Company’s newly issued common stock and approximately $49.5 million aggregate principal amount of newly issued Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “New Notes”). In addition to completing the exchange offer for the Senior Secured Notes, the Company completed a consent solicitation of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes, in which it procured the requisite consent of the holders of approximately 99% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes to eliminate all the restrictive covenants and certain events of default in the Indenture. | |||||||||
The New Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated December 22, 2011 (the “New Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The New Notes will mature on December 15, 2016. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes. | |||||||||
Interest on the New Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2012. Subject to applicable law, interest accrues on the New Notes at a variable rate per annum equal to 13% plus the greater of 1.5% and Three-Month LIBOR, determined as of two London banking days prior to the original issue date and reset quarterly on each interest payment date. Such interest consists of (a) a mandatory cash interest component (that shall accrue at a fixed rate of 3% per annum and be payable solely in cash) and (b) a component that shall accrue at a variable rate and be payable in either cash or by accretion of principal. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has elected to increase the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes by a cumulative amount of $10,920,443 in lieu of making cash quarterly interest payments, including $4,994,572 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This results in an outstanding balance of $60,424,434. |

NOTE 3—COMMON STOCK SALE | |
On December 21, 2012, the Company issued 18,749,997 shares of its common stock to the Company’s major stockholders (the “Investors”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Stock Purchase Agreements” and such transaction the “Financing”) between the Company and each such stockholder, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $30,000,000. Upon our election, and subject to our meeting certain performance objectives, we could conduct two additional closings with the Investors prior to December 31, 2013 (each a “Subsequent Closing”). In each Subsequent Closing, we would issue up to 6,250,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per share or a total purchase price of up to $10,000,000. The Investors could also elect to require us to conduct a closing in which we will issue the remaining shares to be issued in the Financing, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the Stock Purchase Agreements. In the Financing, each of the Investors received a “Preemptive Right” to purchase such investor’s pro rata percentage of new stock or new debt financings (excluding certain reserve based revolver financings) undertaken by Dune, on substantially the same terms as offered to any outside investor. | |
On May 8, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Company conducted a Subsequent Closing with the Investors in which the Company issued 6,249,996 shares of its common stock, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. | |
On June 28, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreements, the Company conducted the final Subsequent Closing with the Investors in which the Company issued 6,249,996 shares of its common stock, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $10,000,000. |

NOTE 5—RESTRICTED STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS | |||||||||||||||||
The Company utilizes restricted stock, stock options and warrants to compensate employees, officers, directors and consultants. Total stock-based compensation expense including options, warrants and restricted stock was $474,546 and $1,763,135 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $277,972 and $1,306,197 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
Pursuant to a unanimous written consent dated March 5, 2012, the board of directors of the Company authorized the adoption of the Dune Energy, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), to become effective immediately. The 2012 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of Dune’s board of directors. Under the 2012 Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant any one or a combination of incentive options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and phantom stock awards, as well as purchased stock, bonus stock and other performance awards. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued or transferred to grantees under the Plan could not exceed 3,250,000 shares. On April 25, 2013, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s 2012 Plan. The Plan amendment provided for an increase of 1,750,000 in the number of authorized shares in the Plan from 3,250,000 to 5,000,000. This amendment was subsequently approved by Dune’s shareholders. | |||||||||||||||||
In January 2013, two members of the Company’s board of directors resigned. In connection with an amendment to these two directors’ option agreements that were entered into in connection with their respective resignations, all unvested stock options issued to these individuals, amounting to 133,334 shares of common stock, vested immediately. | |||||||||||||||||
In February 2013, the Company issued 103,978 shares of common stock related to 50% of the 2012 annual bonus for an officer of the Company. The restricted common stock was equal to 125% of the cash bonus to be paid and will vest over three years from the date of grant. The fair value of the restricted stock grant was $227,712. | |||||||||||||||||
On April 25, 2013, the board unanimously approved the grant to each of the six non-employee directors of 57,803 deferred stock units (a total of $100,000 worth of deferred stock units at a price of $1.73 per share per director) as recommended by the Compensation Committee. With respect to each director, subject to each director’s continuous service to the Company, the units vest over a two year period with one-third vesting immediately and the remaining two-thirds vesting ratably on the anniversary date in subsequent years. The Company will issue to each director one share of common stock on the settlement date for each vested unit held by the director. The settlement date will be the first to occur (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) a Change of Control (as defined in the deferred stock unit agreement). | |||||||||||||||||

NOTE 7—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
The Company, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. Dune maintains insurance coverage, which it believes is customary in the industry, although Dune is not fully insured against all environmental risks. |

Remediation Costs | ' |
NOTE 8—REMEDIATION COSTS | |
In connection with the acquisition of Goldking, the Company inherited a remediation contingency, which after conducting its due diligence and subsequent testing, the Company believes is the responsibility of a third party. However, federal and state regulators have determined Dune is the responsible party for cleanup of this area. Dune has maintained a passive maintenance of this site since it was first discovered after Hurricane Katrina. The Company still believes another party has the primary responsibility for this occurrence but is committed to working with the various state and federal authorities on resolution of this issue. Plans for testing and analysis of various containment products and remediation procedures by third party consultants have been approved and in the third quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a liability of $4,586,000. Costs of $728,385 have been incurred in the first nine months of 2013 resulting in a $3,857,615 balance of which $1,078,615 is included in accrued liabilities and $2,779,000 is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013. |

Revenue recognition | ' |
Revenue recognition | |
Dune records oil and gas revenues following the entitlement method of accounting for production in which any excess amount received above Dune’s share is treated as a liability. If less than Dune’s share is received, the underproduction is recorded as an asset. Dune did not have an imbalance position in terms of volumes or values at September 30, 2013. Additionally, Dune records the sale of emission credits as other revenue in the period they are sold. | |
Impairment of oil and gas properties | ' |
Impairment of oil and gas properties | |
Impairment analysis is performed on an ongoing basis. In addition to using estimates of oil and gas reserve volumes in conducting impairment analysis, it is also necessary to estimate future oil and gas prices and costs, considering all available evidence at the date of review. The impairment evaluation triggers include a significant long-term decrease in current and projected prices or reserve volumes, an accumulation of project costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected and historical and current negative operating losses. Although we evaluate future oil and gas prices as part of the impairment analysis, we do not view short-term decreases in prices, even if significant, as impairment triggering events. | |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company impaired its oil and gas properties by $22,250,000, which is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. This impairment primarily resulted from the impact of lower expected future oil prices on the economic life of the Garden Island Bay field proved reserves. The application of this non-cash accounting assessment was triggered by the publication of the mid-year, D&M Reserve Report and the backwardation of the published strip price of WTI oil on the effective date of the report. | |
Asset retirement obligation | ' |
Asset retirement obligation | |
The Company follows FASB ASC 410—Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement obligations of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. This standard requires the Company to record a liability for the fair value of the dismantlement and plugging and abandonment costs excluding salvage values. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized each period and the capitalized cost is amortized over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. | |
During the third quarter of 2013, the Company increased the asset retirement obligation associated with the Garden Island Bay field by $4,820,851. This change resulted from the acceleration of plugging and abandonment costs in that field and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013. | |
Loss per share | ' |
Loss per share | |
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average numbers of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods, including dilutive effects of stock options and warrants granted. Dilutive options and warrants that are issued during a period or that expire or are canceled during a period are reflected in the computations for the time they were outstanding during the periods being reported. Since Dune has incurred losses for all periods, the impact of the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive and therefore are not included in the calculation. |
