Note 1 – General
Description of Business
Endeavour International Corporation (“EIC”) 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 EIC 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, 2014.
Bankruptcy Cases
On October 10, 2014, (the “Petition Date”), Endeavour and certain of its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries - Endeavour Operating Corporation (“EOC”), Endeavour Colorado Corporation (“ECC”), Endeavour Energy New Ventures Inc., and END Management Company - and one of its foreign subsidiaries - Endeavour Energy Luxembourg S.à.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”). See Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 for a discussion of the Bankruptcy Cases.
Going Concern
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve month period following the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. However, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our Bankruptcy Cases and other matters described herein, including:
| · | | the termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement (“RSA”) on April 29, 2015 (see Note 3 - Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11); |
| · | | the potential breach of our leverage covenant under our Amended Term Loan Facility applicable to our U.K. subsidiary in or about the fourth quarter of 2015 (see Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 and Note 8 – Debt Obligations); and |

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per share data)
| · | | entry into the APA and Settlement Agreement on August 3, 2015 (see Note 3 - Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11). |
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.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including, among other things: (i) the cost, duration and outcome of the Bankruptcy Cases; (ii) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand and generate cash from operations; (iii) our ability to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements of the Amended Term Loan Facility; and (iv) our ability to achieve profitability following a restructuring. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our actions to address these factors are not successful.
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 (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. 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. See Note 1 – General – Going Concern.
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.
U.S. 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; and |
| · | | estimates of future dismantlement and restoration costs. |
Discontinued Operations
On January 1, 2015, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) updated guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The update amended the requirements for reporting discontinued operations, including the criteria for which discontinued operations are reported and additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2015, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The guidance is effective for interim periods and annual period beginning after December 15, 2015; however early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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. In July 2015, the FASB finalized the delay of the effective date by one year, making the new standard effective for interim periods and annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption; however, entities that are reporting under U.S. GAAP are not permitted to adopt the standard earlier than the original effective date for public entities (that is, no earlier than 2018 for calendar year-end entities). We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11
Background
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”).
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 and its 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes (collectively, “Consenting 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 (see Note 8 – Debt Obligations). The RSA contemplated that the recapitalization of the Company would occur pursuant to a pre-arranged plan of reorganization. On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. 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 and carry on the business in the ordinary course of business 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.
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.
None of the Company’s subsidiaries incorporated in the U.K. has filed under Chapter 11. Such non-filing subsidiaries are referred to herein as “non-Debtors.”
Termination of RSA and Sale of U.S. and U.K. Assets
On April 29, 2015, the Debtors terminated the RSA and filed a notice with the Bankruptcy Court to withdraw its proposed plan of reorganization that had been filed to implement the terms of the RSA (the “Plan”). We determined that as a result of the decline in commodity prices, the Plan was not feasible and, accordingly, did not continue to seek its confirmation. Even if the Plan were to be confirmed, if oil and gas prices remain at their depressed levels, we could breach our

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per share data)
leverage covenant under our Amended Term Loan Facility applicable to our U.K. subsidiary in or about the fourth quarter of 2015, which would result in a default under the terms of the Amended Term Loan Facility.
On April 29, 2015, in light of the foregoing, the Company also filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion to, among other things, approve the sale of substantially all of the Company’s U.S. assets and, in connection with such sale, establish bidding procedures and an auction.
On June 1, 2015, the Company announced the launch of a marketing process in the U.K. for the sale of all or substantially all of our North Sea oil and gas assets.
Claim by Related Party
We maintained an employment agreement with Mr. William Transier that provided for certain severance benefits. Mr. Transier resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and President effective December 1, 2014. Mr. Transier filed a claim with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on December 16, 2014 in the amount of approximately $6.2 million. Ultimate resolution of Mr. Transier’s claims has not been determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
Subsequent Event
On August 3, 2015, EIC and EOC entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with certain of the holders of our First Priority Notes and the collateral agent for the holders of such notes (the “Agent”). Under the APA, EOC will:
| · | | sell all of the stock of EOC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavour International Holding B.V. (“EIHBV”); and |
| · | | sell an intercompany note (issued to EOC by Endeavour Energy U.K Limited (“EEUK”), a subsidiary of EIHBV (the “Intercompany Note”). |
The purchaser will be a newly formed entity (“Newco”) which will be owned by the holders of our First Priority Notes and the lenders under our Amended Term Loan Facility. The purchase price for EIHBV and the Intercompany Note will be a credit bid of $1 and $1 in cash. The Agent holds a perfected first priority lien on the Intercompany Note and 65% of the stock of EIHBV. The closing of the APA is conditioned upon approval of the transactions by the Bankruptcy Court, the occurrence of the closing under the Settlement Agreement (defined below) and other customary conditions to closing.
Under the APA, 53% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of our oil and gas assets owned by EOC, which would otherwise be paid to holders of the First Priority Notes, will be used to fund
Table Of Contents

(Debtor-in-Possession)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per share data)
the administrative costs and expenses of the Bankruptcy Cases and any expenses incurred in connection with the subsequent dissolution of the Debtors. To the extent such asset sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy these expenses and the closing occurs under the APA, EEUK will fund the expenses up to an agreed-upon maximum amount.
On August 3, 2015, EIC, EOC and ECC also entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with holders of our First Priority Notes who are parties to the APA and certain lenders under the Amended Term Loan Facility, relating, among other things, to:
| · | | the allocation of proceeds from the sale of EOC’s and ECC’s U.S. oil and gas assets; |
| · | | voting rights and shareholder arrangements concerning Newco; and |
| · | | certain amendments to the Amended Term Loan Facility, including changes to certain covenant ratios and maturity date (the “EEUK Amendment Documents”). |
Additionally, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, EIC, EOC and ECC have agreed to restrictions on certain intercompany cash transfers. The closing of the Settlement Agreement is conditioned upon:
| · | | the execution of definitive documents regarding the governance of Newco and the EEUK Amendment Documents; |
| · | | the occurrence of the closing under the APA; and |
| · | | approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. |
There can be no assurance that transactions contemplated by the APA and Settlement Agreement will be consummated. If we are unable to consummate the APA and Settlement Agreement, we may be compelled into liquidation of our U.K. operations through an administration proceeding in the U.K. In addition, we are continuing our efforts to sell the assets of the Debtors to be followed by the dismissal of their Chapter 11 cases and their dissolution.
On August 3, 2015, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion to, among other things, request entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving:
| · | | the APA and the transactions contemplated thereby; |
| · | | the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; |
| · | | dismissal of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases following the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, the dissolution of the Debtors and, in the case of EIC, its dissolution without the need to obtain stockholder approval. |

In connection with such events, it is expected that all common stock of the Debtors and all obligations related to the First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds, 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes would be cancelled.
Note 4 – Debtors Condensed Combined Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2014, our properties not subject to amortization balance of $10.8 million related to unevaluated well costs in the Marcellus. These costs were transferred to the amortization base during the second quarter of 2015 when a determination of proved reserves could be assigned to such properties. As of December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015 we had no unevaluated costs in the U.K.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we capitalized none and $2.4 million, respectively, in interest related to exploration and development, primarily related to our U.K. activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we capitalized none and $5.0 million, respectively, in interest.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we capitalized $1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in certain directly related employee costs.

Oil and Gas Impairments
During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded $42.9 million in impairment of oil and gas properties, pre-tax, through the application of the full cost ceiling test. The primary reason for the impairment was the precipitous fall in oil and gas prices which began during the fourth quarter of 2014 and have yet to recover. The pricing used for the U.K. for the second quarter of 2015 was $75.98 per barrel for oil and $7.44 per mcf for gas. The pricing used for the U.S. for the second quarter of 2015 was $71.68 per barrel for oil and $3.39 per mcf for gas. Should oil and gas prices remain depressed for the remainder of 2015, further impairments of our oil and gas properties are likely to be recorded throughout 2015.
We did not have an impairment of U.S. oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test for the second quarter of 2014, which utilized prices of $100.27 per barrel for oil and $4.09 per mcf for gas. Additionally, we did not have an impairment of U.K. oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test for the second quarter of 2014, which utilized prices of $108.64 per barrel for oil and $9.65 per mcf for gas.
Insurance Settlements
During the second quarter of 2015, we settled our insurance claim to recover certain loss of production income and property settlement claims related to the Alba water injection pipeline for a total of $29.2 million, including $13.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2015. Insurance proceeds have been recorded as a reduction in capital expenditures or an offsetting amount to operating expenses, depending on the nature of the cost recovery.
Note 7 – 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.
At June 30, 2015, our deferred revenue was entirely attributable to our Alba field. Delivery of the production is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Amended Term Loan Facility
On September 30, 2014, two wholly-owned subsidiaries, EIHBV and End Finco LLC (“Finco” and collectively, “Borrowers”) entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) replacing our previous $125 million senior secured first lien term loan facility originally entered into on January 24, 2014 (the “Term Loan Facility”). EIHBV and

Finco are non-Debtors, and as such, the Amended Credit Agreement is not subject to the 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 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 Energy UK Limited (“Endeavour UK”), subject to certain exceptions. The Amended Term Loan Facility is secured by the same assets that previously secured 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, including 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 EIHBV 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. |
If oil and gas prices remain at their depressed levels, we could breach our leverage covenant under our Amended Term Loan Facility in or about the fourth quarter of 2015, which would result in a default under the terms of the Amended Term Loan Facility. Based on this

determination, we have classified the outstanding balance of the Amended Term Loan Facility as a current liability in the line item “Current maturities of debt” and the related remaining deferred financing costs as a current asset in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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 (collectively, the “2018 Notes”). In October 2012, we completed a private placement of an additional $54 million aggregate principal amount of 12% First Priority Notes due 2018.
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
In July 2008, we issued 7.5% Convertible Bonds which 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.
6.5% Convertible Senior Notes
On February 28, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). We issued $30 million of securities during the first quarter of 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.
Interest on the 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes is payable quarterly and matures the earlier of (i) December 1, 2017 or (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 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time at an initial rate of 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).
Fair Value
The fair value of our outstanding debt obligations was $447.4 million and $446.1 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. 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 9 – 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.
For years prior to January 1, 2015, our U.K. operations were taxed at a statutory rate of 62% (composed of a Ring Fence Corporation Tax rate of 30% and Supplementary Charge rate of 32%). In March 2015, the Supplementary Charge rate decreased to 20%, which was retroactive to January 1, 2015, so that for 2015 the statutory rate is 50%. However, we currently do not record tax benefits due to losses in the U.K. relating to Ring Fence Corporation Tax and Supplemental Charge as there is no assurance that we will generate any U.K. taxable earnings. As a result, we have a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets generated relating to these taxes.
In addition, certain of our U.K. fields are subject to a Petroleum Revenue Tax (“PRT”) rate of 50%. Our current tax expense is related to PRT on the Alba field, our only producing field subject to PRT. In March 2015, tax legislation was enacted that will decrease the PRT rate from 50% to 35% for years beginning on January 1, 2016.

UK Finance Act 2015
On March 26, 2015, the Finance Act 2015 received Royal Assent and was enacted by the U.K. government. The Finance Act 2015 implemented several changes affecting our U.K. activities, including:
| · | | a decrease in the Supplementary Charge rate from 32% to 20%, which is retroactive to January 1, 2015; |
| · | | a decrease in the PRT rate from 50% to 35%, beginning on January 1, 2016; and |
| · | | introduction of an Investment Allowance which is generated by qualifying expenditures incurred from the commencement date of April 1, 2015. Such expenditures are translated into the investment allowance by applying 62.5% to the expenditures and deducting from adjusted ring fence profits which are subject to the Supplementary Charge. The Investment Allowance replaced all existing field allowances. |
As a result of this enacted legislation, the Company recorded an $11.4 million deferred tax expense related to the decrease in the Supplementary Charge rate change during the first quarter of 2015, offset by an equal reduction in the U.K. valuation allowance which resulted in a zero net charge to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The Company recorded a deferred PRT tax benefit of $7.9 million during the first quarter of 2015 related to the enacted decrease in the PRT rate for the deferred tax liabilities that will reverse subsequent to the January 1, 2016 effective date.
Furthermore, the Company recorded deferred tax expenses of $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2015 related to the enactment of the Investment Allowance and recognition of the remaining field allowances. These charges were offset by an equal reduction in the U.K. valuation allowance which resulted in a zero net charge to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Note 10 – Other Long-Term Liabilities
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our other liabilities included the following:
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | December 31, |

Other | | 132 | | | 142 |
Total Other Liabilities | $ | 41,531 | | $ | 66,077 |
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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
| | | |

Less: Current portion of asset retirement obligations | | (18,338) | (49,823) |
Long-term asset retirement obligations | $ | 41,399 | 121,541 |
| (1) | | The revision of prior estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to lower rig costs, improved efficiencies for the abandonment work to be performed and exchange rate fluctuations. |

Note 11 – 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.
For discussion of the potential impact of our filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on our equity, see Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11.
Note 12 – 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. We have not granted any restricted stock or stock options during 2015.

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. We have not granted any performance-based share awards during 2015

For discussion of the expected impact of our filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on our equity, see Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11.
Note 13 – 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.

Note 15 – 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.

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 £63.1 million as of June 30, 2015, of which £42.5 million, £11.9 million and £8.7 million and relate to decommissioning obligations at Alba, IVRRH and Renee and Rubie, respectively.
The letters of credit secure decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of Endeavour’s U.K. Continental Shelf petroleum production. The Company 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 $101.1 million related to the LC Issuance Agreement as of June 30, 2015 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 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.
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. 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 previous procurement agreements.
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.

Terminated Acquisition of Marcellus Assets
SM Energy Company “SM Energy” filed a lawsuit against us in Texas state court on December 20, 2011 alleging that we breached an agreement for the purchase of oil and gas leases, producing properties, geophysical data, a pipeline and related assets in the Marcellus shale play in Pennsylvania by terminating it 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 $19.0 million in total settlement expense during the first quarter of 2014.

Note 16 – Guarantor Subsidiaries
Certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 2018 Notes. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations, we have presented in columnar format the condensed consolidating financial information for EIC, 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

Note 17 – Subsequent Events
Refer to Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 for further information.
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.

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 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 and its 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes (collectively, “Consenting 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 (see Note 8 – Debt Obligations). The RSA contemplated that the recapitalization of the Company would occur pursuant to a pre-arranged plan of reorganization. On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. 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 and carry on the business in the ordinary course of business 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.
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.
None of our subsidiaries incorporated in the U.K. has filed under Chapter 11. Such non-filing subsidiaries are referred to herein as “non-Debtors.”
Termination of RSA and Sale of U.S. and U.K. Assets
On April 29, 2015, the Debtors terminated the RSA and filed a notice with the Bankruptcy Court to withdraw its proposed plan of reorganization that had been filed to implement the terms of the RSA (the “Plan”). We determined that as a result of the decline in commodity prices, the Plan was not feasible and, accordingly, did not continue to seek its confirmation. Even if the Plan were to be confirmed, if oil and gas prices remain at their depressed levels, we could breach our leverage covenant under our Amended Term Loan Facility applicable to our U.K. subsidiary in or about the fourth quarter of 2015, which would result in a default under the terms of the Amended Term Loan Facility.
On April 29, 2015, in light of the foregoing, the Company also filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion to, among other things, approve the sale of substantially all of the Company’s U.S assets and, in connection with such sale, establish bidding procedures and an auction.
On June 1, 2015, we announced the launch of a marketing process in the U.K. for the sale of all or substantially all of our North Sea oil and gas assets.
EIHBV Asset Purchase Agreement
On August 3, 2015, EIC and EOC entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) with certain of the holders of our First Priority Notes and the collateral agent for the holders of such notes (the “Agent”). Under the APA, EOC will:
| · | | sell all of the stock of EOC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Endeavour International Holding B.V. (“EIHBV”); and |
| · | | sell an intercompany note (issued to EOC by Endeavour Energy U.K Limited (“EEUK”), a subsidiary of EIHBV (the “Intercompany Note”)). |
The purchaser will be a newly formed entity (“Newco”) which will be owned by the holders of our First Priority Notes and the lenders under our Amended Term Loan Facility. The purchase price for EIHBV and the Intercompany Note will be a credit bid of $1 and $1 in cash. The Agent holds a perfected first priority lien on the Intercompany Note and 65% of the stock of EIHBV. The closing of the APA is conditioned upon approval of the transactions by the Bankruptcy Court, the occurrence of the closing under the Settlement Agreement (defined below) and other customary conditions to closing.
Under the APA, 53% of the net cash proceeds from the sale of our oil and gas assets owned by EOC, which would otherwise be paid to holders of the First Priority Notes, will be used to fund the administrative costs and expenses of the Bankruptcy Cases and any expenses incurred in connection with the subsequent dissolution of the Debtors. To the extent such asset sale proceeds are insufficient to satisfy these expenses and the closing occurs under the APA, EEUK will fund the expenses up to an agreed-upon maximum amount.
On August 3, 2015, EIC, EOC and ECC also entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with holders of our First Priority Notes who are parties to the APA and certain lenders under the Amended Term Loan Facility, relating, among other things, to:
| · | | the allocation of proceeds from the sale of EOC’s and ECC’s U.S. oil and gas assets; |
| · | | voting rights and shareholder arrangements concerning Newco; and |
| · | | certain amendments to the Amended Term Loan Facility, including changes to certain covenant ratios and maturity date (the “EEUK Amendment Documents”). |
Additionally, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, EIC, EOC and ECC have agreed to restrictions on certain intercompany cash transfers. The closing of the Settlement Agreement is conditioned upon:
| · | | the execution of definitive documents regarding the governance of Newco and the EEUK Amendment Documents; |
| · | | the occurrence of the closing under the APA; and |
| · | | approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. |
There can be no assurance that transactions contemplated by the APA and Settlement Agreement will be consummated. If we are unable to consummate the APA and Settlement Agreement, we may be compelled into liquidation of our U.K. operations through an administration proceeding in the U.K. In addition, we are continuing our efforts to sell the assets of the Debtors to be followed by the dismissal of their Chapter 11 cases and their dissolution.
On August 3, 2015, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion to, among other things, request entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court approving:
| · | | the APA and the transactions contemplated thereby; |
| · | | the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; |
| · | | dismissal of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases following the sale of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, the dissolution of the Debtors and, in the case of EIC, its dissolution without the need to obtain stockholder approval. |
In connection with such events, it is expected that all common stock of the Debtors and all obligations related to the First Priority Notes, Second Priority Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds, 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes and 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes would be cancelled.
Results of Operations
Physical Production, Revenue and Sales Volume
Our physical daily production was 14,836 boed and 12,879 boed for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Increases to physical production occurred primarily at Rochelle, which increased physical production by 2,575 boed from the second quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2015. During the second quarter of 2014, both the E2 and W1 development wells produced in May and June. During the second quarter of 2015, however, both development wells produced for approximately the entire quarter. Offsetting this increase was a decrease at Bacchus, which experienced decreased physical production of 882 boed for the same period, which is reflective of the natural decline of the field.
Our physical daily production was 12,636 boed and 11,169 boed for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Increases to physical production occurred primarily at Rochelle, which increased physical production by 2,487 boed from the six months ended June 30, 2015 to the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the E2 development well at Rochelle produced in March and both the E2 and W1 development wells produced in May and June. During six months ended June 30, 2015, both development wells produced for approximately four and a half months, with six weeks of downtime due to existing compressor and mechanical issues at the Scott platform. Offsetting this increase was a decrease at Bacchus, which experienced decreased physical production of 997 boed for the same period, which is reflective of the natural decline of the field and reduced production for approximately four weeks during the installation of gas lift facilities.
Physical production can vary significantly from sales volumes and related revenues. We record sales volumes and related 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.
For the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, we had sales volumes of 15,483 boed and 7,424 boed, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had sales volumes of 14,624 boed and 9,269 boed, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase in sales volumes are the timing of tanker liftings at the Alba field, which increases sales volumes, and increased sales volumes at the Rochelle field offset with lower sales volumes at Bacchus. For the six months
ended June 30, 2015, the Alba field had two tanker liftings compared to one for the corresponding period in 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, the Alba field did not have a tanker lifting, and as a result, there are no sales volumes attributable to the Alba field during the second quarter of 2014.
Our revenues increased from $44.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $71.8 million during the same period in 2015. The increase in second quarter revenue is primarily the result of the timing of tanker liftings at the Alba field and increased sales volumes at the Rochelle field as explained above offset by lower commodity pricing and lower Bacchus sales volumes. Our revenues decreased from $139.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $136.1 million during the same period in 2015.
Average realized pricing per boe was $50.97 and $66.40 for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $51.43 and $82.87 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which reflects the precipitous decline in oil and gas commodity prices which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 and has yet to recover.
Rochelle was shut-in on January 31, 2015 for a planned seven day shutdown to tie-in an additional compressor on the Scott Platform to increase reliability. Issues with the existing compressor and mechanical issues at the platform delayed the restart. As a result, Rochelle had approximately six weeks of downtime during the first quarter of 2015. Although Rochelle had significantly higher sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, unanticipated downtime negatively affected our production rates, revenue and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as well as our liquidity.
The Rochelle field produces natural gas and liquids 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.
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. However, at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, we had no such instruments in place.
The following table shows our average sales volumes and realized sales prices for our operations for the periods presented.

| (1) | | We record oil revenues when production is transported by pipeline or production is shipped out of our storage tanks and legal ownership has passed to the purchaser. We use the entitlements method to account for sales of gas production. Physical production may differ from sales volumes based on the timing of tanker liftings for our international 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.
Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income, as Adjusted
In addition to our operations, our net income can be affected by various non-cash items, such as oil and gas impairments, derivative transactions, goodwill impairment and loss on extinguishment of debt.
Net Loss, as Adjusted, which excludes these non-cash items, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $44.7 million as compared to Net Loss, as Adjusted of $38.7 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in Net Loss, as Adjusted was primarily attributable to impairment of oil and gas properties of $42.9 million which did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2014 offset by an increase in net loss of $50.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015.
Net Loss, as Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $65.3 million compared to Net Loss, as Adjusted of $66.0 for the same period in 2014. The decrease in Net Loss, as Adjusted, was primarily attributable to impairment of oil and gas properties of $133.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 which did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2014 offset by litigation settlement expense of $19.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 which did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2015an increase in net loss of $116.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $29.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $26.9 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to increased sales volumes offset, in part, by lower commodity pricing. Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $85.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $74.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Expenses
Operating Expenses - For the second quarter of 2015, operating expenses increased to $37.1 million as compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily the result of reduced operating expenses associated with the lack of a second quarter 2014 lifting at the Alba field and increased operating expenses at Rochelle. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating expenses increased to $61.3 million as compared to $34.0 million for the same period in 2014.
DD&A Expense - DD&A expense increased to $54.6 million for the second quarter of 2015 from $32.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to increased sales volumes and a decrease in our proved reserves base resulting from the transfer of substantially all of our proved undeveloped reserves to probable reserves on January 1, 2015, thus increasing our DD&A rate per boe.
Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties - During the second quarter of 2015 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded $42.9 million and $133.0 million, respectively, in impairment of oil and gas properties, pre-tax, through the application of the full cost ceiling test at the end of each quarter. The primary reasons for the 2015 impairment was the precipitous fall in oil and gas prices which began during the fourth quarter of 2014 and has yet to recover. The pricing used for the U.K. for the second quarter of 2015 was $75.98 per barrel for oil and $7.44 per mcf for gas. The pricing used for the U.S. for the second quarter of 2015 was $71.68 per barrel for oil and $3.39 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 decline or are volatile. If U.S. or U.K oil or gas prices continue to remain depressed for the remainder of 2015, further impairments of our oil and gas properties are likely to be recorded throughout 2015.
We did not have an impairment of U.S. oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test for the second quarter of 2014, which utilized prices of $100.27 per barrel for oil and $4.09 per mcf for gas. Additionally, we did not have an impairment of U.K. oil and gas properties through the application of the full cost ceiling test for the second quarter of 2014, which utilized prices of $108.64 per barrel for oil and $9.65 per mcf for gas.
Insurance Proceeds – During the second quarter of 2015, we settled our insurance claim to recover certain loss of production income and property settlement claims related to the Alba water injection pipeline for a total of $29.2 million, including $13.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2015 Insurance proceeds have been recorded as a reduction in capital expenditures or an offsetting amount to operating expenses, depending on the nature of the cost recovery.
G&A Expenses - Net general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased to $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2014 and decreased to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $10.1 million for the same period in 2014. The primary reasons for the decreases were decreased compensation, consulting, legal and accounting fees and other expenses between the periods offset by higher insurance expense.
Components of G&A expenses for these periods were as follows:

Unrealized Gains on Derivatives - Unrealized gains on embedded derivatives decreased from $2.0 million to none for the three months ended 2014 and 2015, respectively and decreased from $4.7 million to none for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, 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 our embedded derivative liabilities during 2014.
Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to $31.4 million for the corresponding period in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, interest expense decreased to $28.7 million from $62.9 million for the corresponding period in 2014. The decreases are primarily due to ceasing the recording of interest expense and amortization of debt issue costs subsequent to the Petition Date related to all liabilities classified as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contractual interest not accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $42.6 million.
The components of interest expense are as follows:

| (3) | | Interest expense related to the Term Loan Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and Monetary Production Payments. The Revolving Credit Facility was replaced by the Term Loan Facility in January 2014. The Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility were replaced by the Amended Term Loan Facility in September 2014. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had non-cash interest expense, including amortization of loan costs and discount, of $4.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively.
Letter of Credit Fees - Letter of credit fees were $0.1 million and $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The letter of credit fees are expenses related to reimbursement agreements which covered certain of our abandonment liabilities. On September 30, 2014, the Combined Procurement Agreement was replaced with the Amended Term Loan Facility. From that date forward, letter of credit fees were replaced with interest expense attributable to the Amended Term Loan Facility.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Financing Agreements - As part of the repayment of the Revolving Credit Facility and Alba Reimbursement Agreement during the first quarter of 2014, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of financing agreements, which includes an early termination fee of $4.7 million, write-off the remaining deferred financing costs of $6.9 million and foreign exchange gain of $8.0 million.
Litigation Settlement Expense – On April 16, 2014, we reached an agreement with SM Energy Company to settle and dismiss the litigation associated with agreements to purchase certain assets in the Marcellus shale play in Pennsylvania.
In accordance with the settlement agreement, we:
| · | | forfeited our $6 million deposit; |
| · | | paid SM Energy $5 million; |
| · | | were scheduled to 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 $19.0 million in total settlement expense during the first quarter of 2014.
Reorganization Items - Reorganization items were $6.5 million during the second quarter of 2015 and $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These costs reflect the post-petition costs associated with the Company’s voluntary filing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and consisted entirely of professional fees.
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Exchange - 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.
Income Taxes - The following summarizes the components of tax expense (benefit):

Income tax benefit increased to $13.6 million from a tax expense of $3.2 million for the six months June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily the result of the increase in net loss before taxes related to our U.K. Petroleum Revenue Tax (“PRT”) field.
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.
For years prior to January 1, 2015, our U.K. operations were taxed at a statutory rate of 62% (composed of a Ring Fence Corporation Tax rate of 30% and Supplementary Charge rate of 32%). In March 2015, the Supplementary Charge rate decreased to 20%, which was retroactive to January 1, 2015, so that for 2015 the statutory rate is 50%. However, we currently do not record tax benefits due to losses in the U.K. relating to Ring Fence Corporation Tax and Supplemental Charge as there is no assurance that we will generate any U.K. taxable earnings. As a result, we have a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets generated relating to these taxes.
In addition, certain of our U.K. fields are subject to a PRT rate of 50%. Our current tax expense is related to PRT on the Alba field, our only producing field subject to PRT. In March 2015, tax
legislation was enacted that will decrease the PRT rate from 50% to 35% for years beginning on January 1, 2016.
Finance Act 2015 - On March 26, 2015, the Finance Act 2015 received Royal Assent and was enacted by the U.K. government. The Finance Act 2015 implemented several changes affecting our U.K. activities, including:
| · | | a decrease in the Supplementary Charge rate from 32% to 20%, which is retroactive to January 1, 2015; |
| · | | a decrease in the PRT rate from 50% to 35%, beginning on January 1, 2016; and |
| · | | introduction of an Investment Allowance which is generated by qualifying expenditures incurred from the commencement date of April 1, 2015. Such expenditures are translated into the investment allowance by applying 62.5% to the expenditures and deducting from adjusted ring fence profits which are subject to the Supplementary Charge. The Investment Allowance replaced all existing field allowances. |
As a result of this enacted legislation, the Company recorded an $11.4 million deferred tax expense related to the decrease in the Supplementary Charge rate change during the first quarter of 2015, offset by an equal reduction in the U.K. valuation allowance which resulted in a zero net charge to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
The Company recorded a deferred PRT tax benefit of $7.9 million during the first quarter of 2015 related to the enacted decrease in the PRT rate for the deferred tax liabilities that will reverse subsequent to the January 1, 2016 effective date.
Furthermore, the Company recorded deferred tax expenses of $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2015 related to the enactment of the Investment Allowance and recognition of the remaining field allowances. These charges were offset by an equal reduction in the U.K. valuation allowance which resulted in a zero net charge to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an update to the accounting standards to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The guidance is effective for interim periods and annual period beginning after December 15, 2015; however early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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. In July 2015, the FASB finalized the delay of the effective date by one year, making the new standard effective for interim periods and annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption; however, entities that are reporting under U.S. GAAP are not permitted to adopt the standard earlier than the original effective date for public entities (that is, no earlier than 2018 for calendar year-end entities). We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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, goodwill impairment loss, litigation settlement expense and reorganization items. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, impairments, derivative transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, goodwill impairment loss, litigation settlement expense and reorganization items. 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 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.

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.
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | (12,138) | | $ | 59,930 |
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (21,198) | | $ | (27,865) |
Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | - | | $ | 16,402 |
Operating Activities
The net cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily impacted by the earnings from our business activities. The net cash flows used in operating activities were $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $59.9 million for the six months ended months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased commodity pricing and reorganization items incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2015 offset by insurance proceeds received in the same period.
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 previous compressor and mechanical issues experienced 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. Cash paid for reorganization items during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $12.8 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and costs during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases.
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. 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 a 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 on many factors, including, among other things: (i) the cost, duration and outcome of the Bankruptcy Cases; (ii) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand and generate cash from operations; (iii) our ability to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements of the Amended Term Loan Facility; and (iv) our ability to achieve profitability following a restructuring.
Investing Activities
The net cash flows used in investing activities was $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $27.9 million used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily the result of significant decreases in our capital activities between the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015, partially offset by facilities and pipeline tie-in work on the Wiley well and replacement of the water injection pipeline at Alba during the six months ended June 30, 2015 (see “Drilling Program” below).
Financing Activities
Notwithstanding the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, 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. As of June 30, 2015, we had $1,230.2 million in outstanding indebtedness. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on many factors, including, among other things: (i) the cost, duration and outcome of the Bankruptcy Cases; (ii) our ability to maintain adequate cash on hand and generate cash from operations; (iii) our ability to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements of the Amended Term Loan Facility; and (iv) our ability to achieve profitability following a restructuring. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our actions to address these factors are not successful.
As discussed in “Disclosures About Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments” above, we did not make our September 2, 2014, December 1, 2014, January 15, 2015, March 1, 2015 and June 1, 2015 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. As agreed with the Consenting 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. As the RSA
was terminated on April 29, 2015, the Consenting Debt Holders fully reserve any and all of their rights.
Our financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:
| · | | 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. |
| · | | Combined Procurement Agreement: Also 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 replaces previous reimbursement agreements. |
| · | | Securities Purchase Agreement: In February 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement. We issued 2.9 million shares of our common stock and 0.7 million warrants (total fair value of $12.5 million) and $17.5 million in convertible notes under the Securities Purchase Agreement during the first quarter of 2014. |
| · | | Monetary Production Payments: During 2013, we entered into various monetary production payment arrangements (collectively, the “Monetary Production Payments”) covering the proceeds of sale from a portion of Endeavour Energy UK Limited’s entitlement to production from its interests in the certain fields located in the U.K. sector of the North Sea. During the first quarter of 2014, we repaid approximately $5.0 million. |
We had no financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Refer to Note 3 – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 – Subsequent Event for the expected impact of the consummation of the APA and Settlement Agreement on our financing activities.

United Kingdom Capital Program
Prior to 2014, 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 2015 and 2014 capital expenditures have shifted to maintenance and infill drilling as discussed below.
Alba
We own a 25.68% working interest in Alba, an oil field. Alba has a one to two well per year drilling program. In 2014 we completed one development well which spud during the second quarter of 2014, with first production beginning in August 2014. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, no wells were drilled, but an additional development well is scheduled to be drilled during the second half of 2015.
In April 2015, work was completed on the repair of the water injection pipeline supplying pressure to the southern area of the field, which positively impacted the production from the affected subsea wells.
During the second quarter of 2015, we settled our insurance claim to recover certain loss of production income and property settlement claims related to the Alba water injection pipeline for a total of $29.2 million, including $13.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2014, $8.4 million during the first quarter of 2015 and $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2015. Insurance proceeds have been recorded as a reduction in capital expenditures or an offsetting amount to operating expenses, depending on the nature of the cost recovery.
Bacchus
We own a 30% working interest in Bacchus, an oil field. Currently there are two gas-lifted wells producing, and the field has experienced a slower decline curve than originally forecasted.
Rochelle
We own a 44% working interest in Rochelle, a gas-condensate field. 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.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Rochelle was shut-in on January 31, 2015 for a planned seven day shutdown to tie-in an additional compressor on the Scott Platform to increase reliability. Issues with the existing compressor and mechanical issues at the platform delayed the restart. As a result, Rochelle had approximately six weeks of downtime during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
If we continue to experience unanticipated downtime, our future daily production rates and associates revenue and liquidity could also be negatively impacted.
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 low-priced commodity environment in U.S. gas prices during the last several years. We have limited capital expenditures to those necessary to fulfill drilling commitments and maintain acreage positions.
Marcellus
On November 8, 2013, we closed on a purchase and sale agreement and formed a joint venture partnership with Samson Exploration LLC (“Samson”), which included a sale of 50% of our upstream and midstream assets in the Pennsylvania Marcellus area to Samson. The agreement provides for the joint development of the Marcellus assets and includes a financing component. This joint venture provides the necessary capital for the next development phase in the core Daniel Field in Cameron County, Pennsylvania. Our working interest in the joint venture is 50%.
At June 30, 2015, we had approximately 26,000 gross acres and 12,800 net acres in the Pennsylvania Marcellus area. In the first quarter of 2015, we drilled two new horizontal wells to maintain our leasehold. One of those wells was successfully cased and the other was plugged and abandoned following mechanical issues. We expect to complete the successfully cased well at a later date. The costs of these wells are carried by Samson and do not require us to contribute capital towards their drilling and completion.

In the Piceance Basin Rim play in Northwest Colorado, Endeavour has leasehold of approximately 32,100 gross and 21,200 net acres as of June 30, 2015. Endeavour is targeting liquids-rich Niobrara and Frontier objectives. The Company has a federal unit and drilled an initial horizontal test in the Niobrara target zone during third quarter of 2014. The Wiley 23-3-97 H1 horizontal well in Rio Blanco County (“Wiley well”) was spud in July 2014, reached total depth in August 2014 and was hydraulically fracture stimulated in October 2014. In November to December 2014, a 23-day average flowback rate of 602 barrels of oil per day gross plus 1.3 to 1.8 mmcfd was achieved, with a peak daily oil rate of 805 barrels of oil per day gross. In December 2014, we shut in the Wiley well to complete the production facilities and gas pipeline tie-in. The facilities and pipeline tie-in were successfully completed in the first quarter of 2015. Oil production resumed in late March 2015 and gas production began on April 1, 2015.
Outlook
2015 Planned Capital Expenditures
We expect that our total capital expenditure budget for 2015 will be approximately $40 million. In the current climate and until prices return to more favorable levels, we are actively managing our budget to reduce our capital expenditures to the minimal level essential to preserving our business. Additionally, our 2015 capital expenditure budget is subject to change depending on a number of factors, including the results of the Bankruptcy Cases, 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.
We intend to fund our 2015 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we spent $26.3 million in decommissioning costs. We expect to incur approximately $32 million in decommissioning charges during 2015. Costs incurred during 2015 will complete the IVRRH abandonment obligations and begin the Renee and Rubie abandonment obligations. In addition, certain decommissioning security agreements require us to put up security, which causes us to incur further costs and dedication of capital.
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:
| · | | risks and uncertainties associated with the Bankruptcy Cases and related liquidity concerns; |
| · | | the significant decline in, and volatility of, oil and gas prices; |
| · | | 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 in the U.K. North Sea that is owned by others; |
| · | | 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; |
| · | | cost and access to natural gas gathering, treatment and pipeline facilities; |
| · | | environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, oil spills and discharges of toxic gases; |
| · | | business strategy and the availability of acquisition opportunities; 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, 2014. 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; however, we had no such instruments in place during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
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 co-principal executive officers (the “PEOs”) 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 PEO 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 PEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and |
| (ii) | | that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015. |
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
Bankruptcy Cases
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.à.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.
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, 2014 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.
Item 3: Defaults upon Senior Securities
The U.S. Debtors’ Chapter 11 filings constituted an event of default under our debt covenants related to the Senior Notes, 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, 7.5% Convertible Bonds and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes.
