Note 1 – General
Description of Business
Endeavour International Corporation is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development, production and acquisition of energy reserves in the U.S. and U.K. Endeavour was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on January 13, 2000. As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “Endeavour,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms refer to Endeavour International Corporation and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11
On September 2, 2014, the Company announced that it had decided not to pay approximately $33.5 million in interest due on September 2, 2014 on its 12% First Priority Notes due March 2018 (“First Priority Notes”), 12% Second Priority Notes due June 2018 (“Second Priority Notes”) and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes due November 2017 (“6.5% Convertible Senior Notes”). Under the term of the indentures for the First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes, there was a 30-day grace period during which the Company could elect to make the interest payment and cure any potential event of default for non-payment.
On September 30, 2014, the Company entered into forbearance agreements (the “Forbearance Agreements”) with holders of a majority of its debt as to which the interest payment was not made. Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreements, the holders agreed to forbear from exercising remedies against the Company arising from the failure by the Company to pay (following the passing of the 30-day grace period that ended on October 1, 2014) the September 2, 2014 interest payments due. The forbearance period, initially scheduled to expire on October 7, 2014, was subsequently extended to October 10, 2014.
Subsequent to the close of the third quarter of 2014, on October 10, 2014, the Company announced that it reached agreements with holders of more than two-thirds of its First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes and 7.5% Convertible Bonds (see Note 6) and its 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes (see Note 6 and collectively, “Significant Debt Holders”), in the form of a consensual Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) that, if implemented as proposed, would significantly reduce the Company’s outstanding debt. The RSA contemplated that the recapitalization of the Company would occur pursuant to a pre-

arranged plan of reorganization. On the same day (the “Petition Date”), Endeavour and certain of its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries - Endeavour Operating Corporation, Endeavour Colorado Corporation, Endeavour Energy New Ventures Inc., and END Management Company - and one of its foreign subsidiaries - Endeavour Energy Luxembourg S.a.r.l. (collectively, the “Debtors”) - filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court as Case No. 14-12308 (the “Bankruptcy Cases”).
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have operated their business as “debtors-in-possession" pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, which will allow the Company to continue operations during the reorganization proceedings. Each Debtor will remain in possession of its assets and properties, and its business and affairs will continue to be managed by its directors and officers, subject in each case to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.
None of the Company’s direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates incorporated in the U.K. has filed under Chapter 11 and none is expected to file for reorganization or protection from creditors under any insolvency or similar law in the U.S. or elsewhere. Such non-filing subsidiaries and affiliates are called “non-Debtors.”
The RSA provides for several milestones for consummation and implementation of the consensual restructuring:
| · | | approval of the RSA no later than 35 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | filing of the plan and disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court no later than 45 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | approval of the disclosure statement by the Bankruptcy Court no later than 90 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | approval of the restructuring plan no later than 170 days after the Petition Date; and |
| · | | effectuation of the confirmed plan no later than 200 days after the Petition Date. |
Pursuant to the agreed upon term sheet of the RSA, the Company’s existing debt and accrued interest will be reduced by approximately $568 million, including the cancellation of all of the Company’s First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds, 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes. As consideration for such cancellation, the reorganized Company would issue:
| (a) | | $262.5 million of new notes to the holders of its First Priority Notes; |
| (b) | | an aggregate of approximately $237.5 million of new convertible preferred shares to holders of its First Priority Notes and Second Priority Notes; and |
| (c) | | new common shares to holders of its Second Priority Notes, 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. |

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
All of the Company’s existing equity securities, including its shares of common stock and preferred stock and warrants, will be cancelled without receiving any distribution.
On the Petition Date, the Company sought, and thereafter obtained, authority to take a broad range of actions, including, among others, authority to pay royalty interests and joint interest billings, certain employee obligations and pre-Petition contractor claims and taxes. Additionally, other orders were obtained, including adequate assurance of payment to utility companies as well as continued use of cash management systems.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). On October 10, 2014, the Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the amounts of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
US GAAP requires management to use estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported herein. While management regularly reviews its estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could change in the current year:
| · | | estimates of proved oil and gas reserves; |
| · | | estimates as to the expected future cash flow from proved oil and gas properties; |
| · | | estimates of future dismantlement and restoration costs; |
| · | | estimates of fair values used in purchase accounting; and |
| · | | estimates of the fair value of derivative instruments. |

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an updated standard on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard on revenue recognition. The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2016 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period or retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table Of Contents

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
The costs not subject to amortization include:
| · | | values assigned to unproved reserves acquired; |
| · | | exploration costs such as drilling costs for projects awaiting approved development plans or the determination of whether or not proved reserves can be assigned; and |
| · | | other seismic and geological and geophysical costs. |
These costs are transferred to the amortization base when it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. This analysis is dependent upon well performance, results of infill drilling, approval of development plans, drilling results and development of identified projects and periodic assessment of reserves. We expect acquisition costs and exploration costs excluded from amortization to be transferred to the amortization base over the next three years due to a combination of well performance and results of infill drilling relating to currently producing assets and the drilling and development of identified projects. Because of the nature of offshore oil and gas activities, development activities, including sanctioning and regulatory approvals, may take a significant amount of time to implement. Even though our expectation is that most costs not subject to amortization are to be transferred to the amortization base over the next three years, it is not uncommon for the cycle times to be longer, particularly in the North Sea. We have one U.K. field, Columbus, where costs have been excluded from amortization for greater than five years; however, we continue to work on the development planning for the field.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized $2.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, in interest related to exploration and development, primarily related to our U.K. activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized $7.4 million and $21.2 million, respectively, in interest related to exploration and development, primarily related to our U.K. activities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized $2.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in certain directly related employee costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, we capitalized $8.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively, in certain directly related employee costs.
We did not have an impairment of oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a pre-tax impairment of $6.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, related to our U.S. oil and gas properties.
For the third quarter of 2014, the prices used for our U.S. impairment analysis were $99.08 per barrel for oil and $4.24 per mcf for gas and our U.K. impairment analysis utilized prices of $107.42 per barrel for oil and $8.90 per mcf for gas. For the third quarter of 2013, the prices used for our U.S. impairment analysis were $95.06 per barrel for oil and $3.61 per mcf for gas

and our U.K. impairment analysis utilized prices of $108.67 per barrel for oil and $10.51 per mcf for gas.
Note 4 – Goodwill
All of our goodwill is attributable to a single reporting unit. Although the carrying amount of goodwill is tested annually for impairment, as a result of a number of factors which occurred during and subsequent to the third quarter of 2013, including our filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, we performed a preliminary goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2014.
As a result of the preliminary goodwill impairment test, the entire amount of our goodwill, or $259.2 million, was charged to “Goodwill impairment loss” in cost of operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014.
Fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a combination of gross asset value, present value of future cash flows and comparison with comparable trading companies. The impairment loss is an estimate that is not yet finalized.
Note 5 – Deferred Revenue
For certain of our U.K. fields, we sell production on a monthly basis; however, the production remains in the field’s storage tanks. The inventory associated with these sales remains on our balance sheet and the revenue is deferred until the production is shipped out of our storage tanks.
In 2013 and 2014, we entered into three separate forward sale agreements with one of our established purchasers for payments of approximately $22.5 million each. This effectively hedged a portion of production from our U.K. North Sea assets by locking in pricing for in excess of 200,000 barrels of oil, over a six month delivery period for each forward sale transaction. Payment for two of these agreements was received in the first and third quarters of 2013. Payment for the 2014 transaction was received in the second quarter of this year.
The 2013 forward sale commitments were fulfilled in June 2013 and March 2014. The 2014 forward sale commitment is expected to be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of the current year. The forward sale liabilities are included in deferred revenue until the purchaser takes possession of the product.

Senior Notes
In February 2012, we closed the private placement of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 12% First Priority Notes due 2018 and $150 million aggregate principal amount of 12% Second Priority Notes due 2018. In October 2012, we completed a private placement of an additional $54 million aggregate principal amount of 12% First Priority Notes due 2018 (collectively, the “2018 Notes”).

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
5.5% Convertible Senior Notes
In July 2011, we issued $135 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes due July 15, 2016. Interest on these notes is payable semi-annually at a rate of 5.5% per annum. The 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 54.019 shares (equivalent to $18.51 per share) of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
7.5% Convertible Bonds
Our 7.5% Convertible Bonds bore interest at a rate of 11.5% per annum until March 31, 2014, and at a rate of 7.5% thereafter. Interest is compounded quarterly and added to the outstanding principal balance each quarter. The bonds are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $16.52 per $1,000 of principal, which represents a conversion rate of approximately 61 shares of our common stock per $1,000 of principal.
Term Loan Facility
On January 24, 2014, we entered into a $255 million agreement consisting of a $125 million senior secured first lien term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”) and a $130 million Combined Procurement Agreement (see Note 16). The Term Loan Facility bore quarterly interest of LIBOR plus 7.00% annually (provided LIBOR equals at least 1.25% annually).
The Term Loan Facility matured the earlier of:
| (ii) | | 92 days prior to the maturity date of our outstanding 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes or our 7.5% Convertible Bonds, if still outstanding on that date. |
The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to repay the outstanding amounts under our Revolving Credit Facility. The repayment included a prepayment fee and accrued interest of approximately $2.0 million. Subsequent to the repayment, the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated, all of the associated liens on our collateral obligations were released, and we recorded a loss of $3.5 million on the early extinguishment of financing agreements.
On September 30, 2014, we repaid the balance outstanding under the Term Loan Facility with proceeds from the Amended Term Loan Facility. See below.
Amended Term Loan Facility
On September 30, 2014, two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Endeavour International Holding B.V. (“EIH”) and End Finco LLC (“Finco” and collectively, “Borrowers”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) in respect of our Term Loan
Table Of Contents

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
Facility. EIH and Finco are non-Debtors, and as such, the Amended Credit Agreement is not subject to the RSA and related Bankruptcy Cases.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the lenders advanced approximately $440 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans to the Borrowers (“Amended Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds were used to:
| · | | repay in full the balance outstanding under the existing Term Loan Facility; |
| · | | repay in full the Monetary Production Payments (See Note 8); |
| · | | repay in full all reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Combined Procurement Agreement (See Note 16); |
| · | | provide cash collateral for the LC Issuance Agreement (See Note 16) and pay related expenses; and |
| · | | provide additional liquidity to the Company. |
We deferred financing costs of $10.3 million related to the Amended Term Loan Facility. The repayments of the Term Loan Facility, Monetary Production Payments and Combined Procurement Agreement included prepayment fees of approximately $3.3 million, $7.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and accrued interest of $2.6 million, $3.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Subsequent to the repayment, the Term Loan Facility, Monetary Production Payments and Combined Procurement Agreement were terminated, and all of the associated liens on our collateral obligations were released. As a result, we wrote off deferred financing costs of $7.6 million and $6.7 million related to the Term Loan Facility and Monetary Production Payments, respectively. Additionally, we wrote off a debt discount of $1.5 million related to the Term Loan Facility and charged $1.9 million to loss on foreign currency exchange related to the Combined Procurement Agreement. All charges related to prepayment fees and write off of deferred financing costs, debt discount and loss on foreign currency exchange are included in other income as “Loss on early extinguishment of financing agreements” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Amended Term Loan Facility bears interest quarterly at a rate of LIBOR plus 10.00% per year (with a LIBOR floor of 1% per year) and matures on January 2, 2017. The loans under the Amended Term Loan Facility were issued with original issue discount of 2.0%. Borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its current and future subsidiaries, including Endeavour Operating Corporation and Endeavour UK, subject to certain exceptions. The Amended Term Loan Facility is secured by the same assets securing the Company’s Term Loan Facility other than cash and cash equivalents in the United States.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants and provisions with respect to events of default that are substantially similar to the covenants in the Company’s Term Loan Facility
Table Of Contents

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ abilities to: (i) pay distributions or repurchase or redeem the Company’s capital stock or subordinated debt; (ii) make certain investments; (iii) incur additional indebtedness; (iv) create or incur certain liens; (v) sell assets; (vi) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) enter into agreements that restrict distributions from the Company’s subsidiaries to the Company; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) allow EIH or any of its subsidiaries to make dividends, payments or other distributions of any kind to the Debtors, other than pursuant to specific limited amounts and for specified purposes.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, subject to certain exceptions. In particular, the following events do not constitute events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement: (a) payment defaults or other defaults to the Company’s existing notes or to certain intercompany indebtedness or (b) a bankruptcy filing by the Company or its domestic subsidiaries and one foreign subsidiary.
In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants as defined in the agreement, including:
| · | | a maximum leverage ratio of 2.75:1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014 and |
| · | | a minimum asset coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 as of June 30 and December 31 of each year. |
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 12, 2012, we entered into a Revolving Credit Facility, with Cyan Partners, LP, as administrative agent, under which we ultimately borrowed $115 million.
On January 24, 2014, we repaid the balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with proceeds from the Term Loan Facility. Following the repayment, the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated and all of the associated liens on the collateral securing our obligations were released.
6.5% Convertible Senior Notes
On February 28, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) relating to the issuance of up to $55 million in common stock, warrants and convertible notes. We closed on an initial $30 million in late February and early March 2014, comprised of:
| · | | 2.9 million shares of our common stock; |
| · | | warrants to purchase 0.7 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.292 per share, expiring on February 28, 2019; and |
| · | | $17.5 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes. |
Table Of Contents
Endeavour International Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
The 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes have a maturity date the same as the Term Loan Facility. Interest is payable on the 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes quarterly.
The 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes are:
| · | | convertible at any time; |
| · | | convertible initially at a rate 214.5002 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 6.5% Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $4.662 per share of our common stock); |
| · | | subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments; |
| · | | subject to customary events of default; |
| · | | general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations; and |
| · | | equally ranked in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the 6.5% Convertible Notes. |
Fair Value
The fair value of our outstanding debt obligations was $791.6 million and $868.4 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair values of our 2018 Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes were determined based upon external market quotes and the 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 7.5% Convertible Bonds were determined based upon implied valuations in the RSA. The fair value of our Amended Term Loan Facility was determined based upon a discounted cash flow model. As a result, all fair value measures related to our debt are considered Level 3.
Note 7 – Income Taxes
Our U.S. operations are taxed at a statutory rate of 35%. However, we currently do not record tax benefits due to losses in the U.S. as there is no assurance that we will generate any U.S. taxable earnings, resulting in a full valuation allowance of all deferred tax assets generated.
Our income tax expense relates primarily to our operations in the U.K. which are taxed at a statutory rate of 62% plus an additional Petroleum Revenue Tax on our Alba field. With the utilization of our tax attributes in the U.K., we have not paid any corporate taxes in the U.K. Because of our accumulated tax attributes, we do not expect to pay U.K. corporate taxes until after 2016. The current tax expense is related to Petroleum Revenue Tax (“PRT”) on our Alba field. We have no other producing fields subject to PRT.

During 2013, we entered into various monetary production payment arrangements (collectively, the “Monetary Production Payments”) covering the proceeds of sale from a portion of EEUK’s entitlement to production from its interests in the certain fields located in the U.K. sector of the North Sea. We issued the Monetary Production Payments in the following manner:
| · | | In March through May 2013, a total of $125 million, with an effective interest rate of 10.0%, associated with production from our interests in the Alba and Bacchus fields; |
| · | | In August 2013, $25 million, with an effective interest rate of 8.75%, associated with production from our interests in the Alba and Bacchus fields; and |
| · | | In December 2013, $25 million, with an effective interest rate of 9.75%, associated with production from our interests in the Rochelle field. |
We made principal payments of $5.0 million in January 2014 and $5.8 million each in April 2014 and July 2014.
On September 30, 2014, we repaid the balance of the Monetary Production Payments outstanding with proceeds from the Amended Term Loan Facility. Following the repayment, the Monetary Production Payments were terminated and all of the associated liens on the collateral securing our obligations were released (see Note 6).

Asset Retirement Obligations
Our asset retirement obligations relate to our obligation for the plugging and abandonment of oil and gas properties. The asset retirement obligations are recorded at fair value and accretion expense, recognized over the life of the property, increases the liability to its expected settlement value. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded for both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The following table provides a rollforward of our asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Note 10 – Equity Transactions
In February 2014, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement whereby we issued 2.9 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 0.7 million shares of our common stock for a total of $12.5 million in cash. The warrants have an exercise price of $5.292 per share and expire on February 28, 2019 and are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions.

In April 2014, we issued the warrants to purchase 2,130,680 shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $5.29 per share, in connection with our litigation settlement. The Warrants expire on April 16, 2019 and are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions. See Note 16 for additional information.
For discussion of the potential impact of our filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on our equity, see “Note 1 – General.”
Note 11 – Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements
We grant restricted stock and stock options to employees and directors as incentive compensation. The restricted stock and options generally vest over three years. Non-cash stock-based compensation is recorded in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses or capitalized G&A as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | |
Total non-cash stock-based compensation | $ | 1,088 | | $ | 1,464 | | $ | 3,833 | | $ | 4,672 |
At September 30, 2014, total compensation cost related to awards not yet recognized was approximately $7.7 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than three years.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We did not grant any stock options during 2013 or 2014.

Performance-Based Share Awards
Certain of our executive officers were granted a target number of performance shares under individual Performance Unit Award Agreements. The performance shares will be earned as the relative total shareholder return ranking is measured among a designated peer group at the end of a three-year performance period. Payouts will be based on a predetermined schedule at the end of the performance period. The shares issued may range from 0% to 200% of the number of Performance Units specified in the agreements. The fair value of each performance-based award is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Note 12 – Loss per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of our outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable pursuant to convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and certain stock incentive plans under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments would be dilutive.
For each of the periods presented, shares associated with stock options, warrants, convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and certain stock incentive plans were not included because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The common shares potentially issuable arising from these instruments, which were outstanding during the periods presented in the financial statements consisted of:

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements
We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, defining fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value is based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. This includes not only the credit standing of counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements but also the impact of our own nonperformance risk on our liabilities. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1:Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available.
Level 2:In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, we seek price information from external sources, including broker quotes and industry publications. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace during the entire term of the instrument, derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3:If valuations require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources, we must estimate prices based on available historical and near-term future price information and certain statistical methods that reflect our market assumptions.
We apply fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including embedded derivatives relating to conversion and change in control features in certain of our debt instruments and three-way collars related to our U.K. gas production. We seek to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For the Company’s three-way collars, which are classified as Level 2, we used a closed option model to derive the value of our derivatives. The key inputs into this valuation model are quoted forward prices for natural gas, volatility factors and interest rates for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable.
For the Company’s embedded derivatives, the key inputs into this valuation model are our current stock price, risk-free interest rates, the stock volatility and our implied credit spread. The first two aforementioned inputs are based on observable market data and are considered Level 2 inputs while the last two aforementioned inputs are unobservable and thus require management’s judgment and are considered Level 3 inputs. The following is a reconciliation of changes in fair value of derivative liabilities classified as Level 3:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we also had recognized embedded derivative liabilities related to debt and equity instruments. Based on our filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code as discussed in “Note 1 – General” and the related probable cancellation of the underlying debt and equity instruments, we wrote off the entire amount of the embedded derivatives and recorded a gain of $6.2 million during the third quarter of 2014. None of the Company’s derivatives are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments Related to Asset Retirement Obligations
We have entered into decommissioning security agreements related to abandonment liabilities for certain of our U.K. oil and gas properties. Under these agreements, we are required to post security from time to time in the form of letters of credit, cash or other agreed-upon consideration. Prior to entry into the LC Issuance Agreement on September 30, 2014 (see below), the commitments under these agreements were not recorded as liabilities, and fees and expenses related to these agreements were included in “Letter of credit fees” in other expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Decommissioning Security Agreements
LC Issuance Agreement
On September 30, 2014, in conjunction with the Amended Term Loan Facility, the Company entered into an LC Issuance Agreement (the “LC Issuance Agreement”), pursuant to which Credit Suisse agreed to issue letters of credit for Endeavour UK’s account in the amount of approximately $89.5 million as of September 30, 2014.
The letters of credit secure decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of Endeavour’s U.K. Continental Shelf petroleum production. The Company has collateralized its obligations under the LC Issuance Agreement and all letters of credit issued thereunder by posting cash collateral, which has been funded with the proceeds from the Amended Term Loan Facility.
The posted cash collateral balance of $89.5 million related to the LC Issuance Agreement as of September 30, 2014 is reflected as “Restricted cash, long-term portion” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability related to the posted cash collateral is included as part

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
of the $440 million Amended Term Loan Facility long-term debt obligation. The LC Issuance Agreement was entered into to replace the Combined Procurement Agreement.
As of September 30, 2014, we do not expect to begin decommissioning activities for the Alba field for many years. The timing of decommissioning activities will be determined by the ultimate performance and life of the reservoir, which is not expected to occur until 2029 or later.
Combined Procurement Agreement
On January 24, 2014, we entered into a letter of credit procurement agreement (the “Combined Procurement Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party (“Payee”), where we agreed to reimburse the Payee for any expense incurred by it in connection with the posting of cash collateral to secure letters of credit issued for our account in the amount of approximately £78 million (approximately $130 million as of January 24, 2014, subsequently reduced as discussed below). The letters of credit secured decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of our U.K. licenses. The Combined Procurement Agreement was entered into to replace the LOC Procurement Agreement (see below) and a previous agreement related to the Alba field.
Due to a change in the U.K. tax treatment for decommissioning, we amended our Decommissioning Securities Agreement for the Alba field. The new tax law, which allows companies to treat decommissioning on an after-tax basis (including PRT), enabled us to reduce our current letter of credit amount. Prior to entry into the LC Issuance Agreement, we had approximately $90 million in outstanding letters of credit securing decommissioning obligations under the Combined Procurement Agreement.
Under the Combined Procurement Agreement, we paid a quarterly fee computed at a rate of LIBOR plus 7.00% per year (provided that LIBOR shall equal at least 1.25% per year) on the aggregate balance of posted cash collateral.
Concurrent with our entry into the LC Issuance Agreement on September 30, 2014, the Combined Procurement Agreement was terminated, and we paid all outstanding interest and fees of $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
LOC Procurement Agreement
On January 9, 2013, we entered into an LOC Procurement agreement (the “LOC Procurement Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party entity, which matured on July 9, 2014. The LOC Procurement Agreement was entered into in connection with the unaffiliated third party’s entry into a credit support arrangement with a providing bank. Pursuant to this credit support arrangement, the third party pledged cash, contributed by one of our shareholders, to secure letters of credit in the amount of $33.0 million for the support of decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of our U.K. license agreements.

Concurrent with our entry into the Combined Procurement Agreement on January 24, 2014, the LOC Procurement Agreement was terminated, and we paid all outstanding and accrued fees totaling approximately $0.2 million.
Terminated Acquisition of Marcellus Assets
On July 17, 2011, we entered into agreements with SM Energy Company and certain other sellers named therein (“SM Energy”) for the purchase of oil and gas leases, producing properties, geophysical data, a pipeline and related assets in the Marcellus shale play in Pennsylvania for aggregate consideration of approximately $110 million (the “SM Purchase Agreements”). We terminated the agreements on December 14, 2011, based on our conclusion that (i) the title defects we identified, after analyzing SM Energy’s responses to the notice of defects and valuation of the defects; and (ii) the condition of the pipeline was not in compliance with applicable regulatory standards.
SM Energy filed a lawsuit against us in Texas state court on December 20, 2011 alleging that we breached the SM Purchase Agreements by terminating them and refusing to close on the transactions.
On April 16, 2014, we reached an agreement with SM Energy to settle and dismiss the litigation. In accordance with the settlement agreement, we:
| · | | forfeited our $6 million deposit; |
| · | | paid SM Energy $5 million; |
| · | | will pay an additional $4.5 million in three graduated payments, beginning in April 2015; and |
| · | | issued warrants to purchase 2.1 million shares of our common stock with exercise price of $5.29 per share. |
As a result of this settlement, we recorded $19 million in total settlement expense during the first quarter of 2014.

financial information for Endeavour International Corporation, the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, and all non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis.
The subsidiary guarantees are unsecured obligations of each subsidiary guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor and senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor. The subsidiary guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantor with respect to the assets securing the indebtedness. In addition, the subsidiary guarantees may be released in certain customary circumstances, including (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the properties or assets or a guarantor, (ii) the sale of the capital stock of a guarantor, (iii) the designation of a guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” (iv) upon legal defeasance of the 2018 Notes or satisfaction and discharge of the indentures governing the 2018 Notes, (v) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the guarantor or (vi) if the guarantor ceases to guarantee other of our indebtedness and ceases to be a material subsidiary, each of which is subject to important limitations in the indentures governing the 2018 Notes.
During 2014, we executed an intercompany loan agreement, effective May 2012, between Endeavour International Corporation and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the 2018 Notes. As the intercompany loan is effective for prior periods, the revisions for this loan and related interest to the applicable prior periods are reflected in the financial information herein. The intercompany loan has no effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations or financial statement positions.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion also includes non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, we strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Overview
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the production, exploration, development and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas in the U.K. North Sea and U.S. onshore. Our U.K. operations have been focused on development projects and acquisition, while capital spending by our U.S. operations is primarily related to strategic positioning and proof-of-concept in the Marcellus and Niobrara play areas as we monitor U.S. gas prices.
In the last two years, we have incurred substantial capital expenditures and acquisition costs as we advanced development projects at Bacchus and Rochelle and completed acquisitions. We also experienced delays in the timing of first production from our Bacchus and Rochelle developments, a slowing of production from our U.S. drilling operations as we curtailed the U.S. drilling program in response to declining U.S. gas prices, increased capital costs due to market conditions and increased debt service costs required to finance our drilling and acquisition program. The production delays and increased capital costs and debt service costs placed a strain on our cash flow from operations and our ability to reduce our debt leverage.
Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11
As a result of the aforementioned events and circumstances, the Company initiated discussions with representatives of our various debt holders. On September 2, 2014, although the Company had sufficient cash, we decided that it was in the best interest of all stakeholders, debt and equity, to expeditiously address the Company's capital structure with the goal of reducing debt and the cost of capital to position the Company for the future and announced that we had decided not to pay approximately $33.5 million in interest due on September 2, 2014 on our First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes. The Company used a 30-day grace period to continue discussions with our debt providers.
Ultimately, consensus was obtained on a long-term future plan for the Company from a significant majority of our debt holders. Subsequent to the close of the third quarter of 2014, on October 10, 2014, the Company announced that it reached agreements with its Significant Debt Holders, in the form of a consensual RSA that, if implemented as proposed, would significantly reduce the Company’s outstanding debt. The RSA contemplated that the recapitalization of the Company would occur pursuant to a pre-arranged plan of reorganization. On the Petition Date, Endeavour and the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in
the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court as Case No. 14-12308.
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have operated their business as “debtors-in-possession” pursuant to Sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code, which will allow us to continue operations during the reorganization proceedings. Each Debtor will remain in possession of its assets and properties, and its business and affairs will continue to be managed by its directors and officers, subject in each case to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.
None of the non-Debtors, direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates incorporated in the U.K. has filed Chapter 11 and none is expected to file for reorganization or protection from creditors under any insolvency or similar law in the U.S. or elsewhere.
The RSA provides for several milestones for consummation and implementation of the consensual restructuring:
| · | | Approval of the RSA no later than 35 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | Filing of the plan and disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court no later than 45 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | Approval of the disclosure statement by the Bankruptcy Court no later than 90 days after the Petition Date; |
| · | | Approval of the restructuring plan no later than 170 days after the Petition Date; and |
| · | | Effectuation of the confirmed plan no later than 200 days after the Petition Date. |
Pursuant to the agreed upon term sheet of the RSA, the Company’s existing debt and accrued interest will be reduced by approximately $568 million, including the cancellation of all of the Company’s First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds, 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes. As consideration for such cancellation, the reorganized Company would issue:
| (a) | | $262.5 million of new notes to the holders of its First Priority Notes; |
| (b) | | an aggregate of approximately $237.5 million of new convertible preferred shares to holders of its First Priority Notes and Second Priority Notes; and |
| (c) | | new common shares to holders of its Second Priority Notes, 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. |
All of the Company’s existing equity securities, including its shares of common stock and preferred stock and warrants, will be cancelled without receiving any distribution.
On the Petition Date, the Company sought, and thereafter obtained, authority to take a broad range of actions, including, among others, authority to pay royalty interests and joint interest billings, certain employee obligations and pre-Petition contractor claims and taxes. Additionally, other orders were obtained, including adequate assurance of payment to utility companies as well as continued use of cash management systems.
Results of Operations
Our revenues, net loss and cash flows from operating activities are sensitive to changes in the prices we receive for the oil and natural gas produced. Our production is sold at prevailing market prices, which may be volatile and subject to numerous factors which are outside of our control. Further, the current tightly balanced supply and demand market means a small variation in supply or demand can significantly impact the market prices for these commodities.
Our revenues increased from $36.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to $86.4 million for 2014, primarily as a result of the timing of liftings at our Alba field and production at our Rochelle field. Sales volumes, revenues and net loss were significantly affected by the lifting schedule at the Alba field, which did not have a lifting in the third quarter of 2013 and had one in the third quarter of 2014. Physical production for the quarter produced, but not lifted, is classified as deferred revenues. Alba’s most recent lifting occurred on July 4, 2014, and given the level of production at Alba and the size of its tanker liftings, we estimate one additional lifting during the fourth quarter of 2014, bringing the total liftings for 2014 to three. Additionally, the Rochelle field had no production during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Our revenues increased from $220.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $225.5 million for the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased sales volume from initial production at Rochelle offset by lower sales prices.
Net loss to common stockholders for the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2014 was $377.1 million, or $7.37 per share, compared to $69.2 million, or $1.47 per share, for the same period in 2013. The increase in net loss to common stockholders for these periods was primarily due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) related to the increased U.K. accretion expense, increased interest expense from our debt agreements and Monetary Production Payments, loss on early extinguishment of financing agreements, goodwill impairment loss, litigation settlement expense during the first quarter of 2014 and higher gains on unrealized foreign currency exchange in 2013. These increases in net loss were partially offset by initial production from Rochelle, lower impairments of oil and gas properties and decreased expenses related to reimbursement agreements covering certain of our abandonment liabilities.
Net loss to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased to $294.7 million, or $5.64 per share, compared to $40.3 million or $0.86 per share for the same period in 2013 primarily due to increased DD&A related to the increased U.K. accretion expense, increased interest expense related to the Monetary Production Payments, loss on early extinguishment of financing arrangements, goodwill impairment loss and higher gains on unrealized foreign currency exchange in 2013. These increases in net loss were partially offset by timing of liftings at the Alba field, lower impairments of oil and gas properties and unrealized gains on foreign currency exchange.
In addition to our operations, our net income can be affected by various non-cash items, such as impairments, derivative transactions, goodwill impairment and loss on extinguishment of debt. Net loss, as adjusted, which excludes these non-cash items, for the quarter September 30, 2014
was $24.1 million as compared to net loss, as adjusted of $34.7 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net loss, as adjusted, primarily resulted from the same drivers described above related to the increase in net loss to common shareholders from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014 and was offset by the loss on early extinguishment of financing agreements.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $57.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was due to increased revenues related to the Alba field’s lifting schedule. This increase was partially offset by higher gains on unrealized foreign currency exchange in 2013.
Our cash flows provided by operating activities was $56.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $54.8 million for the same period in 2013. The slight increase was primarily due to a comparable increase in revenues.
For definitions of net loss, as adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of each to the nearest comparable GAAP measure, please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.”
Revenue and Sales Volume
Our physical daily production was 9,705 boed and 7,980 boed for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 10,672 boed and 8,940 boed for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Physical production for the quarter was in line with the revised guidance range of 9,000 – 10,000 boed we had previously announced on September 15, 2014.
For the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, we had sales volume of 11,032 boed and 4,725 boed, respectively, and 9,863 boed and 8,794 boed for the nine months ended ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our revenues increased from $36.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $86.4 million in the same period in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our revenues increased to $225.5 million, compared to $220.7 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in sales volumes and revenue is primarily a result of the timing of 2014 liftings at the Alba field discussed previously and initial production at the Rochelle field.
The Rochelle field produces natural gas and liquids (including standardized crude oil) through the Scott platform, in which we have no ownership interest. Since initial production from Rochelle in October 2013, we have experienced intermittent production from the field due to unplanned shut-ins resulting primarily from mechanical issues at the Scott platform, all of which were beyond our control. These unanticipated down times negatively affect our production rates, revenues and results of operations.
Following a planned Scott Platform shutdown which commenced on July 27, 2014, production resumed on August 26, 2014. On September 9, 2014, Rochelle was shut-in due to mechanical problems on the Scott Platform related to the export gas compressor. Production from Rochelle recommenced on October 11, 2014. Unanticipated downtime negatively affected our production
rates, revenue and results of operations for the third quarter of 2014, as well as our near-term liquidity. As a result, the field has subsequently produced at rates of greater than a 5,000 boe for 12 days during the third quarter of 2014.
We record oil revenues when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the oil transfers to the customer. While certain of our U.K. oil fields produce into pipelines and thereby allow us to record revenue each month, the remaining fields, including the Alba field, are dependent upon tanker liftings to deliver oil production to the buyers. For certain of our U.K. fields, including the Alba field and liquids at the Rochelle field, we sell production on a monthly basis, although the production remains in the field’s storage tanks until the tanker lifting. The inventory associated with these sales remains on our balance sheet and the revenue is deferred until the production is delivered out of our storage tanks. While the timing of tanker liftings affect when we record revenue, physical production and cash receipts are unaffected.
We may utilize financial commodity derivatives, negotiated pricing in our marketing contracts and forward sales to achieve a more predictable cash flow by reducing our exposure to price fluctuations. At September 30, 2014, we had the following floors and ceilings embedded within our marketing contracts and forward sales:

Our revenues, profitability and cash flow depend upon production efficiencies of facilities we do not control and the prices and demand for oil and gas and are subject to numerous operational and financial risks, some of which are beyond our control. The markets for these commodities are volatile, and even relatively modest drops in prices can significantly affect our financial results and impede our growth.
The markets in which we sell our oil and natural gas also materially impact our revenues and cash flows. Oil trades on a worldwide market, and, consequently, price movements for all types and grades of crude oil generally trend in the same direction and within a relatively narrow price range. However, natural gas prices vary among geographic areas as the prices received are largely impacted by local supply and demand conditions as the global transportation infrastructure for natural gas is still developing. As such, the oil we produce and sell is typically sold at prices in line with global prices, whereas our natural gas is to a large extent impacted by regional supply and demand issues and to a lesser extent by global fuel prices, including oil and coal. The U.S. gas market is heavily impacted by the increased supply from shale drilling, which has served to depress natural gas prices relative to the U.K. market.
Expenses
For the third quarter of 2014, operating expenses increased to $28.9 million as compared to $16.4 million for the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily the result of additional operating expenses associated with the Alba lifting during the third quarter of 2014 and operating expenses associated with initial production at Rochelle.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, operating expenses were $62.9 million and $72.0 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily the result of reduced operating expenses associated with Alba offset with operating expenses in 2014 related to initial production from Rochelle. Due to the decrease in operating expenses and increase in sales volumes, operating costs per boe decreased from $37.63 per boe for the third quarter of 2013 to $28.45 per boe for the same period in 2014.
DD&A expense increased to $46.2 million from $18.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. This increase was primarily due to the DD&A calculated on the volumes from Alba lifting during the third quarter of 2014 for which there was no corresponding lifting during the third quarter of 2013 and higher DD&A rates related to our U.K. properties. DD&A expense increased to $123.5 million from $93.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which was primarily the result of higher DD&A rates related to our U.K. properties and higher production.
Accretion expense on our asset retirement obligations increased to $6.7 million from $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $19.3 million from $17.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily due to the increased accretion related to our IVRRH, Renee, Rubie and Goldeneye fields, which have ceased production. As these fields nearing abandonment completion, the related asset retirement obligations are increasing at incrementally greater rates.
We did not record an impairment related to our U.S. properties for the third quarter of 2014. For the third quarter of 2014, the prices used in the full cost ceiling test for our U.S. properties were $99.08 per barrel for oil and $4.24 per mcf for gas. Prices used for the same period in 2013 were $95.06 per barrel for oil and $3.61 per mcf for gas. During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded a pre-tax impairment of $6.0 million related to our U.S. oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test.
For the third quarter of 2014, the prices used in the full cost ceiling test for our U.K. properties were $107.42 per barrel for oil and $8.90 per mcf for gas. We have not recorded any impairment related to our U.K. properties. Prices used in 2013 for the same period were $108.67 per barrel for oil and $10.51 per mcf for gas.
The risk that we will be required to record additional impairments of our oil and gas properties, through the application of the full cost ceiling test in subsequent periods, increases when oil and gas prices are low or volatile. If U.S. or U.K oil or gas prices continue to face the adverse effects of high supply or other factors, we may experience further U.S. or U.K. ceiling test write-downs or other impairments in the future.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2013 as a result of lower amounts recovered from our joint interest partners, partially offset by a decrease in employee compensation expense resulting from the organizational changes and closure of our London offices that occurred in late 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 G&A expenses were $14.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively.
Components of G&A expenses for these periods were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Net G&A expenses | $ | 4,152 | | $ | 3,913 | | $ | 14,240 | | $ | 14,276 |
Unrealized gains on embedded derivatives increased from $1.2 million to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $0.9 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Based on our filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code as discussed in “Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11” and the related probable cancellation of the underlying debt and equity instruments, we wrote off the entire amount of the embedded derivative liability and recorded a gain of $6.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
As discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we completed several financing transactions during the first and third quarter of 2014 that have had a significant impact on our interest expense. Interest expense increased to $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $26.5 million for the corresponding period in 2013, primarily due to additional interest resulting from the issuance of the Monetary Production Payments in mid-2013 and lower capitalized interest in 2014 as our significant development projects have been completed, partially offset by the lower interest rate from the Term Loan Facility versus the Revolving Credit Facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense increased to $94.1 million as compared to $72.3 million for the corresponding period in 2013. This increase was primarily due to the additional interest expense discussed above. We capitalize a portion of interest as a result of our drilling activity. As the development work at Bacchus and Rochelle has been completed, the amount of interest we capitalize related to these projects has decreased.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had non-cash interest expense, including amortization of loan costs and discount, of $25.6 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
Letter of credit fees were $2.2 million and $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 and 2013, $8.3 million and $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The letter of credit fees are expenses related to our reimbursement agreements covering certain of our abandonment liabilities. The decrease in the letter of credit fees was primarily due to the lower rates and financing costs of our Combined Procurement Agreement versus the previous agreements. On September 30, 2014, the Combined Procurement Agreement was replaced with the Amended Term Loan Facility. As such, letter of credit fees will be no longer be recognized through a procurement agreement arrangement, and the letter of credit fees will be replaced with interest expense attributable to the Amended Term Loan Facility.
During the third quarter of 2014, we incurred $5.0 million in financing and transaction charges in connection with the Company’s voluntary filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
As part of the repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2014, we paid an early termination fee of approximately $2.5 million and wrote off the remaining deferred financing costs of $2.1 million. On September 30, 2014, as part of the refinancing of the Term Loan Facility, Combined Procurement Agreement and Monetary Production Payments, we paid early termination fees totaling approximately $13.5 million and wrote off the remaining deferred financing costs of $14.0 million.
Goodwill impairment loss was $259.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. We recognized no goodwill impairment loss during 2013. Although the carrying amount of goodwill is tested annually for impairment, as a result of a number of factors which occurred during and subsequent to the third quarter of 2013, including our filing under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, we performed a preliminary goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2014. As a result of the preliminary goodwill impairment test, the entire
amount of our goodwill, or $259.2 million, was charged to “Goodwill impairment loss” in cost of operations on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014. Fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on a combination of gross asset value, present value of future cash flows and comparison with comparable trading companies. The impairment loss is an estimate that is not yet finalized.
The unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency exchange are primarily attributable to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations on our abandonment liabilities which are predominantly denominated in pounds sterling.

| (1) | | The current tax expense (benefit) in both 2014 and 2013 is related to Petroleum Revenue Tax on our Alba field in the U.K. |
Income tax benefit increased to $8.8 million from $2.1 million for the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily the result of the increase in net loss before taxes related to the U.K.
In the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, we did not record any income tax benefits in the U.S., as there was no assurance that we could generate any U.S. taxable earnings, resulting in a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets generated.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Net income can be significantly affected by various non-cash items, such as unrealized gains and losses on our commodity derivatives, currency impact of long-term liabilities and deferred taxes. Given the significant impact that non-cash items may have on our net income, we use various measures in addition to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, including non-financial performance indicators and non-GAAP measures, such as net loss, as adjusted and adjusted EBITDA, as key metrics to manage our business. These metrics demonstrate our ability to maintain or grow production levels and reserves, internally fund capital expenditures and service debt as well as provide comparisons to other oil and gas exploration and production companies.
We define “net loss, as adjusted” as net loss, without the effect of impairments, derivative transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt and litigation settlement expense. We define “adjusted EBITDA” as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairment, derivatives transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt and litigation settlement expense. These measures are internal, supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of these non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation of net loss to these non-GAAP measures are provided below.
We view these non-GAAP measures, and we believe that others in the oil and gas industry, securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties view these, or similar, non-GAAP measures, as commonly used analytic indicators to compare performance among companies in our industry and in the evaluation of issuers.
Because net loss, as adjusted and adjusted EBITDA are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and thus are susceptible to varying calculations, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Net income (loss), as adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our financial statement data presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements as reported under GAAP.
Provided below are reconciliations of net loss to net loss, as adjusted and adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated. For additional details regarding the components of our primary cash flow amounts, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under Item 1 of this report.
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
(amounts in thousands) | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 |
| | | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 56,169 | | $ | 54,787 |
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (149,567) | | $ | (178,773) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | 156,401 | | $ | 125,158 |
Operating Activities
The net cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily impacted by the earnings from our business activities. The net cash flows provided by operating activities were $56.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $54.8 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily the result of an increase in net loss of $48.7 million net of goodwill impairment loss, $9.6 million in oil and gas impairments during 2013 and $9.5 million increase in unrealized gains on derivatives. Offsetting this change was a $30.0 million increase in DD&A related to increased DD&A rates for our U.K. properties, $22.7 million in noncash losses on early extinguishment of debt related to the restructuring of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facility, Combined Procurement Agreement and Monetary Production Payments and $14.0 million in noncash litigation settlement expense related to the SM Litigation.
We are primarily dependent upon our three fields in the U.K. – Alba, Bacchus and Rochelle – for our cash flows from operations. If we incur delays in production, such as those resulting from the mechanical issues experienced at the Rochelle field during the third quarter of 2014 and the subsequent unplanned shutdown at the Scott platform discussed in “Drilling Program,” it will negatively impact our operating cash flows.
During the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases, we expect that our primary sources of liquidity will continue to be cash on hand and cash flows from operations. In addition, the negative covenants under the Amended Term Loan Facility restrict us from obtaining additional capital, including limits on intercompany transfers.
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 preparation and handling of the Bankruptcy Cases. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and costs for the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases. Pursuant to the terms of the RSA, we are obligated to pay the fees and costs of specified legal and financial advisors to each of the Significant Debt Holders.
Although we believe our cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities will be adequate to meet the short-term liquidity requirements of our existing business, we cannot assure that the amounts of cash available from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations, including operations during the period until such time, if any, and to make the required payments associated with the Bankruptcy Cases, until our proposed plan as outlined in the RSA receives the requisite acceptance is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Our long-term liquidity requirements and the adequacy of our capital resources are difficult to predict at this time and ultimately cannot be determined until after our proposed plan as outlined in the RSA or another plan of reorganization has been confirmed, if at all, by the Bankruptcy Court. If our future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient, we could face substantial liquidity problems and will likely be required to significantly reduce or delay capital expenditures, curtail, eliminate or dispose of substantial assets or operations, or undertake other significant restructuring measures; which could include reducing the size of our workforce or pursuing other alternatives to restructure or refinance our indebtedness, all of which could substantially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For further discussion of liquidity risks and risks associated with the Bankruptcy Cases, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, (i) our ability to obtain timely confirmation of our proposed plan as outlined in the RSA under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) the cost, duration and outcome of the reorganization process; (iii) our ability to achieve profitability as a Company; (iv) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand; and (v) our ability to generate cash from operations.
Investing Activities
The net cash flows used in investing activities was $149.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $178.8 million used in investing activities for the nine months ended months ended September 30, 2013, primarily the result of decreased development drilling related to our Rochelle and Bacchus. During 2013, our U.K. capital program was focused on two large projects in the North Sea, the Bacchus and Rochelle fields, as well as infill drilling at Alba. With the completion of the development projects, our 2014 U.K. capital expenditures have shifted to maintenance and infill drilling. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2014, we settled an insurance claim for the Rochelle E1Y well, which resulted in proceeds of $12.6 million paid to us from the insurance carrier.
Financing Activities
As of September 30, 2014, we had $1,230.2 million in outstanding indebtedness. We believe our cash on hand and cash flow from operating activities will be adequate to meet the short-term liquidity requirements of our existing business, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Notwithstanding the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and RSA, servicing our existing debt and other long-term obligations would require a significant portion of our cash flow from operations and
available cash on hand. During 2014 and 2013, we completed a number of transactions to improve our liquidity position, extend the maturities of some of our debt and other obligations and effectively hedge a portion of production from our U.K. North Sea assets by locking in pricing. These transactions included:
| · | | Procurement Agreement: In January 2013, we entered into a Procurement Agreement with an unaffiliated third party, under which cash was pledged to secure letters of credit in the amount of $33.0 million related to decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of our U.K. license agreements. Third parties have cash collateral associated with the commitments under the Procurement Agreement and we have not recorded the Procurement Agreement as a liability. The Procurement Agreement was terminated and replaced by the Combined Procurement Agreement in January 2014. |
| · | | Forward Sale Agreements: In February and September 2013, and May 2014, we entered into forward sale agreements with one of our established purchasers of approximately $22.5 million each in return for a specified volume of crude oil in excess of 200,000 barrels from our U.K. North Sea production. The first forward sale commitment was fulfilled in June 2013; the second forward sale commitment was fulfilled in March 2014; and the third forward sale commitment will be fulfilled during the fourth quarter of 2014. |
| · | | Monetary Production Payments: In March 2013, we entered into a Production Payment Agreement for $125 million, which was subsequently increased to $175 million. The Production Payment Agreement was terminated and replaced by the Amended Term Loan Facility in September 2014. |
| · | | Term Loan Facility: In January 2014, we entered into a $125 million Term Loan Facility and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. Subsequent to the repayment, the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated and all the associated liens on our collateral obligations were released. The Term Loan Facility was subsequently terminated and replaced by the Amended Term Loan Facility in September 2014. |
| · | | Combined Procurement Agreement: In January 2014, we entered into a letter of credit procurement agreement with an unaffiliated third party whereby we secured letters of credit for our account of approximately $130 million and agreed to reimburse the third party any expense incurred with posted cash collateral. The letters of credit secure decommissioning obligations in connection with our U.K. licenses. The Combined Procurement Agreement replaced Procurement Agreement and was subsequently terminated and replaced by the Amended Term Loan Facility in September 2014. |
| · | | Securities Purchase Agreement: In February 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement which is related to the issuance of up to $55 million in common stock, warrants and convertible notes. We issued $12.5 million in common stock and warrants and $17.5 million in convertible notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement during the first quarter of 2014. |
| · | | Amended Term Loan Facility: In September 2014, we entered into a $440 million Amended Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding amounts under the Term Loan Facility, Combined Production Agreement and Monetary Production Payments. |
Our equity issuances during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows:
| · | | February 2014: an issuance of 2.9 million shares of our common stock and 0.7 million of warrants, as related to the Securities Purchase Agreement; and |
| · | | April 2014: an issuance of 2.1 million of warrants, as related to our litigation settlement. |
As discussed above, we did not make our September 2, 2014, interest payment on the First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes. In addition, the Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default for all of our debt with the exception of the Amended Term Loan Facility. However, as agreed with the Significant Debt Holders in the RSA, each Significant Debt Holder agreed to forebear from the exercise of any rights or remedies afforded it by the respective indenture. Should the proposed plan as outline in the RSA not be completed or if the RSA is terminated for any reason, the Significant Debt Holders fully reserve any and all of their rights.

United Kingdom Capital Program
During 2013, our capital program was focused on two large projects in the North Sea, the Bacchus and Rochelle fields, as well as infill drilling at Alba. With the completion of these development projects, our 2014 capital expenditures will be shifting to maintenance and infill drilling as discussed below.
Alba
In April 2013, operations commenced on an initial three-well infill drilling program at the Alba field. The first two development wells were completed by August 2013, just prior to the shutdown for the planned maintenance program from mid-August to mid-September 2013. Following the shutdown, the operator identified that the water injection pipeline supplying pressure to the southern area of the field had ruptured, causing a portion of the southern region to be shut-in. The Alba 2013 exit rate was 18,500 barrels per day gross, below the levels expected from the field. Partial subsea water injection was restored in April 2014 allowing one well to be returned to production. The permanent replacement of the pipeline is expected in the first half of 2015. The infill drilling campaign recommenced in November 2013 with the third well that began producing in April 2014.
One additional development well was spud during the second quarter of 2014, and first production began in August 2014.
Bacchus
Drilling of the third well at Bacchus began in April 2013 and was completed in July 2013. The 2013 production exit rate at the field was over 10,000 barrels per day gross. During the third quarter of 2013, a new 3D seismic survey was shot over the Bacchus field to gain additional understanding of field performance and identify additional Bacchus development opportunities. Consistent with the original development plans, the first well was planned to be turned into a water injector during the second quarter of 2014. However, this has been delayed due to technical issues with the well. Currently, we are unsure of the ultimate timing of the water injection phase of the field development plan. Production from the field is expected to continue to decline in line with our estimates until additional development opportunities are undertaken.
Rochelle
Development drilling and subsea tie-ins at the Rochelle field have been underway since 2012. In February, while drilling the first of two development wells and following a severe storm lasting several days, we performed a routine inspection of the conductor, wellhead and blow out preventer systems which revealed that a non-uniform hole had been formed around the conductor. As a result of this finding, the East Rochelle E1 was plugged and abandoned in August 2013. An insurance claim to recover certain abandonment and redrill costs was settled in June 2014 for proceeds of $12.6 million.
Drilling began on the West Rochelle W1 well in the first quarter of 2013 and it was completed and flow tested in June 2013. Following the Scott Platform shutdown from July 11 to September 5, 2013, first production from Rochelle started on October 23, 2013 from the West Rochelle W1 well.
By January 2014, both the E2 and W1 development wells at Rochelle were fully completed and tied-in to the production manifolds. As part of the final installation and start-up of the E2 well, the W1 well was shut-in. During the well start-up procedure, a valve on the outlet side of the
East Rochelle production manifold was stuck in the “shut” position. An attempt to open the valve manually was unsuccessful and the operator secured an intervention vessel to open the valve. The valve was successfully opened in February 2014, and the E2 well commenced production on February 28, 2014.
In late March 2014, Rochelle production was shut-in due to an unplanned shutdown of the Scott platform. The E2 and W1 wells were returned to production during May 2014, and for the first time at Rochelle, both development wells were producing simultaneously.
Following a planned Scott Platform shutdown which commenced on July 27, 2014, production resumed on August 26, 2014. On September 9, 2014, Rochelle was shut-in due to mechanical problems on the Scott Platform related to the export gas compressor. Production from Rochelle recommenced on October 11, 2014.
United States Capital Program
We have both producing and exploration acreage in U.S. onshore unconventional oil and gas shale developments targeting reserve and production growth. Our ongoing U.S. program and expenditures have been tailored based on drilling results and the decline in U.S. gas prices over the last several years. We have limited capital expenditures to those necessary to fulfill drilling commitments and maintain acreage positions.
In the Pennsylvania Marcellus, Endeavour successfully completed hydraulic fracture stimulations of the C-13, C-14 and C-20 horizontal wells. The operations consisted of an average 28-stage frac for each well, or double the number of frac stages on the longest laterals to date, relative to previous wells. The wells will be tied into a new third-party pipeline being commissioned by EQT Corporation that allows firm capacity of up to 10 mmcfd, with potential for future expansion. Construction of the Daniel Field Gathering pipeline commenced in September 2014, and first gas is expected by the end of 2014. Operatorship of our Pennsylvania Marcellus properties was transferred to Samson Exploration, LLC, on July 1, 2014.
In the Piceance Basin Rim play in Northwest Colorado, Endeavour has leasehold and drilling options on 44,300 gross acres and 29,700 net acres. Endeavour has two projects targeting liquids-rich Niobrara and Frontier objectives. The Company has formed two federal units and drilled an initial horizontal test in the Niobrara target zone during third quarter of 2014. The first of those wells is the Wiley 23-3-97 H1 horizontal well in Rio Blanco County (“Wiley”), which spud in July 2014, reached total depth in August 2014 and was hydraulically fracture stimulated in October 2014. Wiley will be tied into local gathering infrastructure and is scheduled for production in early 2015.
Outlook
2014 Planned Capital Expenditures
We expect that our total capital expenditure budget for 2014 will be approximately $70 million, of which we expect to spend approximately $45 million in the U.K., primarily on drilling at
Alba. We expect to spend the remainder of our 2014 capital budget in the U.S. to maintain our acreage positions and to fulfill minor drilling commitments. Our 2014 capital expenditure budget is subject to change depending on a number of factors, including the availability and costs of drilling and completion equipment, crews, economic and industry conditions, prevailing and anticipated prices for oil and gas, the availability of sufficient capital resources, drilling success and other normal factors affecting the oil and gas industry.
| | |
| | |
| | Preliminary Capital Budget |
United Kingdom: | | |
Drilling and completions | | $35 million to $50 million |
Exploration, seismic and other | | $5 million |
Total U.K. | | $40 million to $55 million |
United States: | | $20 million to $25 million |
Total direct oil and gas capital | | $60 million to $80 million |
We intend to fund our 2014 capital expenditures primarily through cash on hand and cash flow generated from operations.
Decommissioning Expenditures
Production from each of our Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Hamish (collectively, “IVRRH”), Renee, Rubie and Goldeneye fields has ceased and we have performed maintenance and decommissioning activities over the last several years. We expect to incur approximately $50 million in decommissioning charges during 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we spent $33.7 million in decommissioning costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Prior to entry into the LC Issuance Agreement, on September 30, 2014, our Combined Procurement Agreement related to abandonment liabilities was an off-balance sheet arrangement which covered $90 million of our abandonment liabilities for certain of our U.K. oil and gas properties. Under the Combined Procurement Agreement, unaffiliated third parties pledged cash to secure letters of credit covering certain of our abandonment liabilities and we agreed to reimburse the pledged cash in the event that the letters of credit are drawn and pledged cash is utilized to satisfy the commitment. We had no cash collateral associated with the Combined Procurement Agreement and the commitments under the reimbursement agreements were not recorded as liabilities. Fees and expenses related to the reimbursement agreements were included in other expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On September 30, 2014, we entered into the Amended Credit Agreement and used the proceeds to repay the outstanding amounts under the Combined Production Agreement and provided cash collateral for the LC Issuance Agreement. The posted cash collateral is reflected as restricted cash, long-term portion, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability established by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements include statements that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. We caution you not to rely on them unduly. In particular, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements pertaining to the following:
| · | | our future financial position; |
| · | | success refinancing our debt; |
| · | | projected costs, savings and plans; |
| · | | objectives of management for future operations; |
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties, which may not be exhaustive, relate to, among other matters, the following:
| · | | discovery, estimation, development and replacement of oil and gas reserves; |
| · | | decreases in proved reserves due to technical or economic factors; |
| · | | drilling of wells and other planned exploitation activities; |
| · | | our high level of indebtedness and debt service costs; |
| · | | adverse weather conditions; |
| · | | uncertainties related to drilling and production operations; |
| · | | timing and amount of future production of oil and gas; |
| · | | ability to flow our production through aging infrastructure that is owned by others; |
| · | | the volatility of oil and gas prices; |
| · | | availability and terms of capital; |
| · | | operating costs such as lease operating expenses, administrative costs and other expenses; |
| · | | our future operating or financial results; |
| · | | amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, including future development costs; |
| · | | cash flow and anticipated liquidity; |
| · | | availability of drilling and production equipment; |
| · | | uncertainties related to drilling and production operations; |
| · | | cost and access to natural gas gathering, treatment and pipeline facilities; |
| · | | outcome of legal disputes; |
| · | | environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, oil spills and discharges of toxic gases; |
| · | | business strategy and the availability of acquisition opportunities; |
| · | | outcome and timing of our voluntary restructuring; and |
| · | | factors not known to us at this time. |
Any of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future financial condition or results of operations and the ultimate accuracy of the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and our actual results and future developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. In addition, any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may turn out to be incorrect. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known risks and uncertainties, as mentioned in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell crude oil and natural gas. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and regional gas spot market prices that have been volatile and unpredictable for several years. As a result, our financial results can be significantly impacted as these commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market forces. We may engage in oil and gas hedging activities to realize commodity prices which we consider favorable.
Derivative Instruments and Risk Management Activities
Periodically, we enter into commodity derivatives, including three-way collar agreements, to protect against exposure to price declines related to our U.K. natural gas production. All of our derivatives are used for risk management purposes and are not held for trading purposes.
As of September 30, 2014, we had the following outstanding commodity derivatives:
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Weighted Average Prices |
Settlement Period: | | Total Notional Amount of Gas | | | Sub-Floor | | Floor | | Ceiling |
| | (MMBtu) | | (£/MMBtu) |
October 2014 | | 465,000 | | £ | 3.90 | £ | 4.80 | £ | 5.25 |
November 2014 | | 450,000 | | £ | 5.10 | £ | 6.30 | £ | 6.90 |
December 2014 | | 465,000 | | £ | 5.10 | £ | 6.30 | £ | 6.90 |
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (the “CEO”) and chief financial officer (the “CFO”), the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded:
| (i) | | that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and |
| (ii) | | that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f), and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
On October 10, 2014, Endeavour and certain of our wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries - Endeavour Operating Corporation, Endeavour Colorado Corporation, Endeavour Energy New Ventures, Inc., and END Management Company - and one of our foreign subsidiaries - Endeavour Energy Luxembourg S.a.r.l. - filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court as Case No. 14-12308. We intend to continue to operate its business as debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. As a result of the filings, attempts to collect, secure, or enforce remedies with respect to pre-petition claims against the Company are subject to the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Cases are discussed in greater detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11” and “Note 1, General” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
Item 1A: Risk Factors
In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including the financial statements and related notes, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 under Item 1A “Risk Factors,” which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also could impair our business operations and financial condition. If any of these risks or uncertainties were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation could be adversely affected.
Risk Factors Related to Our Restructuring
We and certain of our subsidiaries filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on October 10, 2014 and are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the Bankruptcy Cases.
For the duration of the Bankruptcy Cases, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include:
| · | | our ability to continue as a going concern; |
| · | | our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the Bankruptcy Cases from time to time; |
| · | | our ability to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Bankruptcy Cases; |
| · | | the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for us to propose and confirm a plan of reorganization, to appoint a U.S. trustee or to convert the Bankruptcy Cases to Chapter 7 cases; |
| · | | our ability to obtain and maintain normal payment and other terms with customers, vendors and service providers; |
| · | | our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations; |
| · | | our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees; |
| · | | our ability to retain key vendors or secure alternative supply sources; |
| · | | our ability to fund and execute our business plan; and |
| · | | our ability to obtain acceptable and appropriate financing. |
We will also be subject to risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Bankruptcy Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.
These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity associated with the Bankruptcy Cases could adversely affect our relationships with our vendors and employees, as well as with customers, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Also, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we need Bankruptcy Court approval for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond timely to events or take advantage of opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Bankruptcy Cases, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 proceedings will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and there is no certainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As a result of the Bankruptcy Cases, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating under the protection of the Bankruptcy Code, and subject to Bankruptcy Court, approval or otherwise as permitted in the normal course of business, we may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated historical financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a plan of reorganization.
Our businesses could suffer from a long and protracted restructuring.
Our future results are dependent upon the successful confirmation and implementation of a plan of reorganization. Failure to obtain this approval in a timely manner could adversely affect our operating results, as our ability to obtain financing to fund their operations may be harmed by protracted bankruptcy proceedings. If a liquidation or protracted reorganization were to occur, there is a significant risk that the value of our enterprise would be substantially eroded to the detriment of all stakeholders.
Furthermore, we cannot predict the ultimate amount of all settlement terms for the liabilities that will be subject to a plan of reorganization. Even once a plan of reorganization is approved and implemented, our operating results may be adversely affected by the possible reluctance of prospective lenders to do business with a company that recently emerged from bankruptcy proceedings.
We may not be able to obtain confirmation of our proposed plan as outlined in the RSA, and our emergence from the Bankruptcy Cases is not assured.
There can be no assurance that the proposed plan as outlined in the RSA (or any other plan of reorganization) will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, so we urge caution with respect to existing and future investments in our securities.
There can be no assurances that we will receive the requisite votes to confirm the proposed plan. Moreover, we might receive official objections to confirmation of the proposed plan from the various bankruptcy committees and stakeholders in the Bankruptcy Cases. We cannot predict the impact that any objection might have on the Bankruptcy Court’s decision whether to confirm the proposed plan as outlined in the RSA. Any objection may cause us to devote significant resources in response which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the proposed plan as outlined in the RSA is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether we would be able to reorganize our business and what, if any, distributions holders of claims against us, including holders of our secured and unsecured debt and equity, would ultimately receive with respect to their claims. The Debtors would likely incur significant costs in connection with developing and seeking approval of an alternative plan of reorganization, which might not be supported by any of the current debt holders, various bankruptcy committees or other stakeholders. If an alternative reorganization could not be agreed upon, it is possible that we would have to liquidate our assets, in which case it is likely that holders of claims would receive substantially less favorable treatment than they would receive if we were to emerge as a viable, reorganized entity. There can be no assurance as to whether we will successfully reorganize and emerge from the Bankruptcy Cases or, if we do successfully reorganize, as to when we would emerge from the Bankruptcy Cases.
We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain those employees or recruit additional qualified personnel.
We are highly dependent on the continuing efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected if we lose any of these persons during or subsequent to the bankruptcy proceedings and are unable to attract and retain qualified replacements.
Our substantial indebtedness, which will not be fully discharged under our proposed plan as outlined in the RSA, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the terms of our indebtedness.
We have, and we will continue to have, a significant amount of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2014, we had total indebtedness of approximately $1,230.2 million.
Our substantial indebtedness could make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the terms of our indebtedness and has had and could continue to have other material adverse consequences for our business, including:
| · | | requiring us to dedicate a large portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness, which will reduce the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures and other business activities; |
| · | | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
| · | | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; |
| · | | restricting us from making strategic acquisitions, dispositions or exploiting business opportunities; |
| · | | placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and |
| · | | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds (even when necessary to maintain adequate liquidity) or dispose of assets. |
In addition, a portion of our debt bears interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, the interest rate on our variable-rate debt will increase and will create higher debt service requirements, which would adversely affect our cash flow and could adversely impact our results of operations. While we may enter into agreements limiting our exposure to higher debt service requirements, any such agreements may not offer complete protection from this risk.
We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Bankruptcy Cases, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and profitability.
The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation and specified debts arising afterwards. With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to October 10, 2014 and before confirmation of the plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the plan of reorganization. Any claims not ultimately discharged by the Bankruptcy Court could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and profitability.
Our financial results may be volatile and may not reflect historical trends.
While in bankruptcy, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as asset impairments, asset dispositions, restructuring activities, 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 the bankruptcy filing. In addition, if we emerge from bankruptcy, 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. In addition, if we emerge from bankruptcy, we may be required to adopt fresh start accounting. If fresh start accounting is applicable, our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date. The fair value of our assets and liabilities may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. In addition, if fresh start accounting is required, our financial results after the application of fresh start accounting may be different from historical trends.
Our shares are subject to risks associated with trading in an over the counter market.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market generally have significantly less liquidity than securities traded on a national securities exchange, through factors such as a reduction in the number of investors that will consider investing in the securities, the number of market makers in the securities, reduction in securities analyst and news media coverage and lower market prices than might otherwise be obtained. As a result, holders of shares of our common stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all. Furthermore, because of the limited market and generally low volume of trading in our common stock that could occur, the share price of our common stock could be more likely to be affected by broad market fluctuations, general market conditions, fluctuations in our operating results, changes in the markets perception of our business, and announcements made by us, our competitors or parties with whom we have business relationships. With respect to the Company, in some cases, we may be subject to additional compliance requirements under applicable state laws in the issuance of our securities. The lack of liquidity in our common stock may also make it difficult for us to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or to otherwise arrange for any financing we may need in the future. In addition, we may experience other adverse effects, including, without limitation, the loss of confidence in us by current and prospective suppliers, customers, employees and others with whom we have or may seek to initiate business relationships.
