KODIAK OIL & GAS CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization
Description of Operations
Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. and its subsidiary (“Kodiak” or the “Company”) is a public company listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) whose corporate headquarters are located in Denver, Colorado, USA. The Company is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition and production of natural gas and crude oil entirely in the western United States.
The Company was incorporated (continued) in the Yukon Territory on September 28, 2001.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kodiak Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Substantially all of the Corporation’s business is transacted in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, the financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Certain amounts in the 2006 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 unaudited consolidated financial statement presentation; such reclassifications had no effect on the 2006 net loss.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of oil and gas reserves, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable.
7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less when purchased. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Restricted Investment
The restricted investment balance as of June 30, 2007 is comprised of: (a) $183,542 certificate of deposit to collateralize a surety bond to provide for state bonding requirements for plugging and abandonment liabilities; (b) $42,400 certificate of deposit to collateralize the costs of previous office improvements that will be released upon completion of new leasehold space; and (c) a $69,797 certificate of deposit to collateralize the costs of the new office floor improvements that will be released over four years at $17,449 per year. The restricted investment balance as of December 31, 2006 is comprised of: (a) $182,052 certificate of deposit to collateralize a surety bond to provide for state bonding requirements for plugging and abandonment liabilities; and (b) $42,400 certificate of deposit to collateralize the costs of office improvements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. The Company manages and controls this risk by investing these funds with major financial institutions.
The Company’s receivables are comprised of oil and gas revenue receivables and joint interest billings receivable. The amounts are due from a limited number of entities. Therefore, the collectability is dependent upon the general economic conditions of the few purchasers and joint interest owners. To date the Company has had minimal bad debts. The receivables are not collateralized.
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs related to the exploration and development of oil and gas properties are initially capitalized into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling directly related to acquisition and exploration activities. Proceeds from property sales are generally credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs. A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool.
Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on estimated gross proved reserves. Gross proved reserves are estimated annually by independent petroleum engineers and updated throughout the year by management as new wells are drilled and as more current information is obtained. The costs of unproved properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are either developed or abandoned. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.
8
For depletion and depreciation purposes, relative volumes of oil and gas production and reserves are converted at the energy equivalent rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil.
Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and gas property costs less accumulated depletion and net of deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair value, if lower of unproved properties. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment is recognized. The present value of estimated future net revenues is computed by applying current prices of oil and gas to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of period-end, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions.
As of December 31, 2006, based on oil and gas prices of $50.37 per barrel and $4.53 per Mcf, the full cost pool exceeded the above described ceiling by approximately $5.2 million. However, subsequent to year end, oil and gas prices increased and the Company completed a well with additional reserves. Using these prices, the Company’s full cost pool did not exceed the ceiling limitation and therefore, the Company did not record an impairment of its oil and gas properties at December 31, 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the Company’s full cost pool exceeded the ceiling limitation based on oil and gas prices at March 31, 2007 of $55.12 per barrel and $4.47 per Mcf and an impairment expense of $14.0 million was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company’s full cost pool did not exceed the ceiling limitation and no impairment was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Estimated reserve quantities and future net cash flows have the most significant impact on the Company because these reserve estimates are used in providing a measure of the Company’s overall value. These estimates are also used in the quarterly calculations of depletion, depreciation and impairment of the Company’s proved properties.
Estimating accumulations of gas and oil is complex and is not exact because of the numerous uncertainties inherent in the process. The process relies on interpretations of available geological, geophysical, engineering and production data. The extent, quality and reliability of this technical data can vary. The process also requires certain economic assumptions, some of which are mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), such as gas and oil prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of the quality and quantity of available data; the interpretation of that data; the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate.
The most accurate method of determining proved reserve estimates is based upon a decline analysis method, which consists of extrapolating future reservoir pressure and production from historical pressure decline and production data. The accuracy of the decline analysis method generally increases with the length of the production history. Since most of the Company’s wells have been producing less than six years, their production history is relatively short, so other (generally less accurate) methods such as volumetric analysis and analogy to the production history of wells of other operators in the same reservoir were used in conjunction with the decline analysis method to determine the Company’s estimates of proved reserves including developed producing, developed non-producing and undeveloped. As the Company’s wells are produced over time and more data is available, the estimated proved reserves will be re-determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted based on that data.
9
Actual future production, gas and oil prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable gas and oil reserves most likely will vary from the Company’s estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the quantities and present value of the Company’s reserves. For example, a decrease in price of $0.10 per Mcf for natural gas and $1.00 per barrel of oil would result in a decrease in the Company’s December 31, 2006 present value of future net cash flows of approximately $763,000. In addition, the Company may adjust estimates of proved reserves to reflect production history, acquisitions, divestitures, ownership interest revisions, results of exploration and development and prevailing gas and oil prices. The Company’s reserves may also be susceptible to drainage by operators on adjacent properties.
Other Property and Equipment
Other property and equipment such as office furniture and equipment, vehicles, and computer hardware and software are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three years for computer equipment, and five years for office equipment and vehicles. When other property and equipment is sold or retired, the capitalized costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has historically accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This statement requires us to record an expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation. We currently use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate stock-based compensation at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after December 31, 2005, as well as to the unvested portion of awards outstanding as of January 1, 2006. In accordance with the modified prospective method, we have not adjusted the financial statements for periods ended prior to January 1, 2006. We did not recognize any one-time effects of the adoption and continued to use similar option valuation models and assumptions as were used prior to January 1, 2006. There is no fair-value-based compensation expense associated with prior awards that were not vested on the date of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period
10
in which it was incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company depletes the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs. The future cash outflows associated with settling the asset retirement obligations that have been accrued in the accompanying balance sheets are excluded from the ceiling test calculations. The Company also depletes the estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, associated with future development activities that have not yet been capitalized as asset retirement obligations. These costs are also included in the ceiling test calculation. The asset retirement liability will be allocated to operating expense by using a systematic and rational method. The Company has recorded a net liability of $337,480 as of June 30, 2007 compared to $137,760 as of June 30, 2006. The information below reconciles the value of the asset retirement obligation for the periods presented.

FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and did not result in unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits being recorded. Accordingly, no corresponding interest and penalties have been accrued. The Company files returns in Canada, in which the Company has net operating loss positions. The Company also files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions. Furthermore, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue service for tax years before 2003 and for state and local tax authorities for years before 2002. The Company does, however, have prior year net operating losses which remain open for examination.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 might have on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 – Compensation Plan
Stock-based Compensation Plan
Under the Company’s newly adopted 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), which replaced the Company’s Incentive Share Option Plan (the “Pre-existing Plan”), stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance awards, stock or property, stock awards and other stock-based awards may be granted to any employee, consultant, independent contractor, director or officer of the Company. A total of 8,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued under the 2007 Plan, which includes shares issuable under the Pre-existing Plan pursuant to options outstanding as of the effective date of the 2007 Plan. No more than 8,000,000 shares may be used for stock issued pursuant to incentive stock options and the number of shares available for granting restricted stock and restricted stock units shall not exceed 1,000,000, subject to adjustment as defined in the 2007 Plan. The Company granted 1,720,000 stock options and 60,000 shares of restricted stock in the second quarter of 2007.
Compensation expense charged against income for all stock-based awards during the first half of 2007 and 2006 was $702,000 and $1.1 million, pre-tax, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Restricted stock awards granted in the first half of 2007 vest on a graded-vesting basis of one-third immediately and one-third at each anniversary date over a two year service period. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for the entire award with one-third of the expense recognized immediately. The fair value of restricted stock grants is based on the stock price on the grant date and the Company assumed no annual forfeiture rate.
Note 4 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases office facilities under an operating lease agreement that expires on June 30, 2012. Rent expense was $50,579 and $48,200 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

| | | |
The Company has no other capital leases and no other operating lease commitments.
As is customary in the oil and gas industry, the Company may at times have commitments in place to reserve or earn certain acreage positions or wells. If the Company does not pay such commitments, the acreage positions or wells may be lost.
Note 5 - Differences between Canadian and United States Accounting Principles
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which differ in certain respects with those principles and practices that the Company would have followed had its financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Canada.
The Company’s accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America differ from accounting principles generally accepted in Canada as follows:
U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of comprehensive loss which for the Company is net loss under U.S. GAAP plus the change in cumulative translation adjustment under U.S. GAAP.
Comprehensive loss came into effect with fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, not yet effective, Canadian accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements included in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical facts, address matters that the Company reasonably expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things:
| • | | the Company’s future financial position, including working capital and anticipated cash flow; |
14
| • | | the risks of the oil and gas industry, such as operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; |
| • | | risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits; |

| • | | uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing; and |
| • | | the possibility that government policies or laws may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld. |
Other sections of the Quarterly Report may include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Our forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are made as of the respective dates set forth in this Quarterly Report. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management as of the date the statements are made. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Overall Performance
Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp. is a public company listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), trading symbol “KOG”, and is engaged in the business of exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The Company’s principal focus is on the exploration and development of oil and gas properties within two producing basins in the Rocky Mountain Region. The Company is exploring for and developing natural gas in the Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming and oil in the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota.
Kodiak’s results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by the success of its exploration activity, the resulting production, oil and natural gas commodity prices, and the costs related to operating its properties.
15
Exploratory Activity
Williston Basin
Mission Canyon/Red River—Sheridan County, Montana and Divide County, North Dakota
The primary producing objectives in this prospect area are the Mission Canyon and the Red River Formations at approximate depths of 8,000 feet and 11,000 feet, respectively. Kodiak has participated in the drilling of four geologic prospects during the first six months of 2007 that were defined by 3-D seismic. The Company completed the Larsh #2-13 well in the Red River Formation and during June 2007, the well averaged production of 165 barrels of oil per day. Currently, two additional wells are being completed and one well was plugged and abandoned. Completion results are expected to be announced during the third quarter.
The Company has released the drilling rig and will evaluate the results of the four wells before proceeding with additional drilling activity. Kodiak has identified several additional prospects within the Company’s acreage that may be drilled subject to the results of our evaluation.
Bakken—McKenzie and Dunn Counties, North Dakota
The Company fracture stimulated its second of three Bakken Formation producers in McKenzie County, North Dakota during the second quarter of 2007. The well was placed back on production and averaged 185 barrels of oil per day over the last 17 days of July.
The Company has continued to acquire acreage in Dunn County, North Dakota where the primary objective is the Bakken shale. Currently, Kodiak has acquired approximately 17,500 gross and 15,000 net acres in a trend bordered by producing wells drilled by EOG Resources, Inc. and Whiting Petroleum Corp. to the north and Marathon Oil Corp. and ConocoPhillips to the west and south. Kodiak’s acreage acquisition efforts are ongoing in this area. The first well on the acreage has been surveyed and permitting procedures are underway. Drilling activity will commence when the permits are approved, which the Company expects to occur in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Green River Basin - Vermillion Basin, Sweetwater County, Wyoming
Vermillion Basin Deep – Baxter Shale and Frontier and Dakota Sandstone
The primary over-pressured deeper natural gas targets of the Vermillion Basin area are the Baxter Shale and Frontier sands at depths to approximately 15,000 feet. In the first half of 2007, the Company drilled and reached total depth on its North Trail Federal #4-35 well (100% WI, 82.5% NRI, Kodiak operated). The well encountered gas shows in several fractures that were intercepted by the 1,655 feet of horizontal lateral in one of the main targets within the Baxter shale. We believe that there is one other primary interval to test in the Baxter Shale. This interval has been drilled and is being evaluated by another operator in the area. The Company intends to re-enter the NT Federal #4-35 well bore during the third quarter and vertically drill the Baxter Formation. Additional procedures will be completed to obtain technical information on the reservoir.
Kodiak has completed drilling operations on its Horseshoe Basin #5-3 well (80% WI, 68% NRI, Kodiak operated) located on the western edge of the prospective producing area. The well was drilled vertically to a depth of 13,534 feet to evaluate the potential of the Mesaverde formations, the Baxter shale and the Frontier sandstone. Logging procedures have been completed and production casing has been run to total depth which will be followed by well completion procedures. Gas pipelines will be constructed into the drillsite once completion work has been evaluated.
16
The Company has commenced shooting an approximate 43-square-mile 3-D seismic program on the northern block of its acreage which includes portions of its Chicken Springs and Chicken Ranch Federal Units, as well as land currently not included in federal units. Data acquisition, processing and interpretation should be completed in early fourth quarter of 2007
Product Prices and Production
Our results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by oil and natural gas commodity prices, which can fluctuate dramatically. The commodity prices are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Market prices reflect worldwide concerns about producer ability to ensure sufficient supply to meet increasing demand amid a host of uncertainties caused by political instability, a weaker U.S. dollar and crude oil refining constraint. We receive lower prices for our oil and gas than what is posted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The price differentials received for our products vary from month to month and the Company does not currently have hedges of its commodity sales in place.
The Company’s production volumes are a direct result of the success of its exploratory and acquisition activities. Production volumes may vary monthly as various wells are completed or maintained to provide optimal flows.
Oil and gas volume and price realization comparisons for the indicated periods are set forth below:

The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of $449,246 compared with a net loss of $1,008,110 for the same period in 2006. The Company reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $14,904,079 compared with a net loss of $1,013,624 for the same period in 2006. $14,000,000 of the 2007 loss is attributable to the full cost pool write-down during the first quarter of 2007, as described below.
The Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, gain on foreign currency and stock-based compensation, (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased to $228,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $132,738 for the same period in 2006. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1,266,275 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $618,516 for the same period in 2006. Adjusted EBITDA is not a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“GAAP”) measure of performance. The Company uses this non-GAAP performance measure primarily to compare its performance with other companies in the industry that make a similar disclosure. The Company believes that this performance measure may also be useful to investors for the same purpose. Investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA is not a GAAP measure, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Reconciliation between June 30, 2007 EBITDA and net income is provided in the table below:

Gas production volumes were 52,457 and 31,891 Mcf for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Oil production volumes were 26,869 and 10,914 barrels for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total gas price realizations decreased 22.4% to $4.29 per Mcf for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Oil price realizations were $61.21 per barrel for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $62.72 for the same period in 2006. The net effect of the pricing and volume changes resulted in an increase of oil and gas revenues of $1,007,503 to $1,869,602 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Gas production volumes were 98,496 and 63,938 Mcf for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Oil production volumes were 52,135 and 23,912 barrels for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total gas price realizations decreased 18.03% to $5.32 per Mcf for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Oil price realizations were $56.04 per barrel for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $56.97 for the same period in 2006. The net effect of the pricing and volume changes resulted in an increase of oil and gas revenues of $1,675,741 to $3,446,419 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
The Company recorded lease operating and production tax expense of $345,998 during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $236,746 during the same period in 2006. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and abandonment liability accretion was $986,767 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $491,674 for the same period in 2006. The Company recorded lease operating and production tax expense of $736,773 during the six month period ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $349,660 during the same period in 2006. Depreciation, depletion, amortization and abandonment liability accretion was $2,026,013 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $879,190 for the same period in 2006. The changes in these expenses for both comparable periods reflect the Company’s growing production base, number of producing wells and, because of revenue-based production taxes, the increase in sales revenues.
The Company’s general and administrative costs of $2,026,443 during the three months ended June 30, 2007 compares to $1,825,632 for the same period in 2006. Included in the general and administrative expense is a stock-based compensation charge of $552,214 and $1,069,850 for the three month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for options and restricted stock issued to officers, directors and employees.
19
The Company’s general and administrative costs of $3,289,403 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compares to $2,290,435 for the same period in 2006. Included in the general and administrative expense is a stock-based compensation charge of $827,794 and $1,121,093 for the six month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for options and restricted stock issued to officers, directors and employees. The overall increase in general and administrative expenses is a result of the Company’s increased staffing requirements and level of activity. The Company currently has fifteen full time employees, an increase of six from the same period in 2006.
As of March 31, 2007, based on current oil and gas prices of $55.12 per barrel and $4.47 per Mcf, the Company’s full cost pool exceeded the present value of the Company’s estimated future net revenue discounted at 10%. Therefore, impairment expense of $14,000,000 was recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, based on current oil and gas prices of $59.90 per barrel and $4.39 per Mcf, the present value of the Company’s estimated future net revenue discounted at 10% exceeded the Company’s full cost pool and no additional impairment was recorded.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had working capital of $28.5 million and no long term debt. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s share of exploration and development costs was $28.4 million and $18.0 million respectively.
The Company is currently operating one rig in its deep Vermillion Basin prospect area in Wyoming. The Company has budgeted capital expenditures in the Vermillion Basin of approximately $8.5 million through the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company has temporarily released its drilling rig in the Williston Basin until further evaluation can be completed on the Company’s Red River and Mission Canyon prospects. The Company has allocated $6 million to additional completion, drilling and acreage work in the Williston Basin through the year end. Subject to obtaining timely drilling permits, the Company could commence drilling of a Bakken test in Dunn County for which the net costs to Kodiak are expected to be $3.5 million. Existing working capital, anticipated cash flow from operations and drilling joint ventures are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and its existing capital commitments. The actual amount, timing and allocation of the Company’s capital expenditures is dependant on the results of the Company’s ongoing exploration and drilling programs, the Company’s evaluation of the technical and geological data obtained in the course of its operations and certain other factors, such as the market price for oil and gas and the availability and cost of oil field services.
The Company has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. The Company has no defined benefit plan and no obligation for post retirement employee benefits.
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
As of June 30, 2007 the Company had cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities which are carried at approximate fair value because of the short maturity date of those instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Specifically, the pronouncement prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition of uncertain tax positions. The interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and did not result in unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits being recorded. Accordingly, no corresponding interest and penalties have been accrued. The Company files returns in Canada, in which the Company has net operating loss positions. The Company also files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions. Furthermore, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue service for tax years before 2003 and for state and local tax authorities for years before 2002. The Company does, however, have prior year net operating losses that remain open for examination.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued in 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 might have on its financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Kodiak does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements at June 30, 2007.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Oil and Gas Price Fluctuations
The Company’s primary market risk is market changes in oil and natural gas prices. Prospective revenues from the sale of products or properties will be impacted by oil and natural gas prices. A $1.00 per Mcf change in the market price of natural gas will result in approximately $86,200 change in the gross gas production revenue. A $1.00 per barrel change in the market price of oil will result in approximately $51,800 change in our gross oil production revenue. The impact on any potential sale of property cannot be readily determined.
21
Interest Rate Fluctuations
Kodiak currently maintains some of its available cash in redeemable short-term investments, classified as cash equivalents, and the reported interest income from these short-term investments could be adversely affected by any material changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. A 1% change in the interest rate would have approximately $309,500 annual impact if all of the Company’s cash was invested in interest-bearing notes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation required by the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than the following update, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2007.
Risks Relating to the Company
Pipeline Capacity in the Rocky Mountain region may be inadequate, and consequently, a price decrease may more adversely affect the price received for our Rocky Mountain production than production in other U.S. regions.
Natural gas prices are critical to our business, and the marketability of our production will depend on the capacity of oil and natural gas gathering systems and pipelines. Oftentimes, the market price for natural gas in the Rocky Mountain region differs from the market indices for natural gas in other regions of the United States. Management believes the current differential is due, in large part, to insufficient pipeline capacity in the Rocky Mountain region. Therefore, a price decrease may more adversely affect the price received for our Rocky Mountain production than production in the other U.S. regions. From time to time, new pipeline projects have been announced, including the Rockies Express Pipeline, to transport natural gas production from the Rocky Mountain region to markets. However, there can be no assurance that such infrastructures will be built, or that if built, they would prevent large basis differentials from occurring in the future. The unavailability or insufficient capacity of pipeline facilities could force us to shut-in producing wells, delay the commencement of production, or discontinue development plans for some of our properties, which would adversely affect our financial condition and performance.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In December 2006, we raised net proceeds of $46,672,213 in a public offering of 12,075,000 shares of common stock, all of which shares were sold. The registration statements to register the shares became effective on December 15, 2006 (commission file number 333-138932) and December 18, 2006 (commission file number 333-139441). We have used approximately $28,400,000 of the net proceeds from the offering for exploration and drilling activities. We expect to use the remainder of our net proceeds to fund a portion of our 2007 exploration and drilling programs and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
