To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Company listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 29, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation
We have audited Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Williston Hunter Canada, Inc., Williston Hunter, Inc., and Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, because they were acquired by the Company in a purchase business combinations during 2011. We have also excluded Williston Hunter Canada, Inc., Williston Hunter Inc., and Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Williston Hunter Canada, Inc., Williston Hunter Inc., and Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. are wholly owned subsidiaries whose total assets and net income represent approximately 34% and 35%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and our report dated February 29, 2012, except for Note 16 as to which the date is January 11, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these Statements.
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and subsidiaries (“Magnum Hunter”) (a Delaware Corporation) is a Houston, Texas based independent exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition and development of producing properties, secondary enhanced oil recovery projects, and production of oil and natural gas in the United States.
On July 14, 2009, the Company formed a new subsidiary to purchase Magnum Hunter Resources, LP and the new subsidiary was merged into Petro Resources Corporation in order to effect a name change from “Petro Resources Corporation” to “Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation”.
NOTE 2—LIQUIDITY
At December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14.9 million, of which $1.7 million of the cash was held by Eureka Hunter and was only available for use by Eureka Hunter and not the Company as a whole, and working capital deficit of $90.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had net loss attributable to common shareholders of $90.7 million and a operating loss from continued operations of $76.7 million, including a $22.9 million impairment of long-lived assets (see Note 3).
We depend on our credit agreements, as described in Note 9, to fund a portion of our operating and capital needs. Under our senior revolving credit agreement, our borrowing base at December 31, 2011, based upon our proved reserves, was $200.0 million. At December 31, 2011, our remaining available borrowing capacity under the senior credit agreement was $58.0 million. On February 14, 2012, our borrowing base under our senior revolving credit agreement was increased from $200 million to $235 million. See Note 17—Subsequent Events for additional information. Pursuant to the terms of our senior revolving credit agreement, our borrowing base is to be redetermined based upon our June 30, 2012 reserve report.
At December 31, 2011, we were not in compliance with the covenant contained in our senior revolving and term loan credit agreements that requires we maintain certain ratios of current assets to current liabilities as described in Note 9. We have received a waiver of the covenant but must be in compliance with the covenant for each quarterly measurement date in 2012, which we believe is probable.
We believe the combination of (i) cash on hand, (ii) cash flow generated from the expected success of prior capital development projects, (iii) debt available under our credit agreements and (iv) our ability to access the equity markets, provide sufficient means to conduct our operations, meet our contractual obligations, including our debt covenant requirements and undertake our capital expenditure program for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012.
NOTE 3—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magnum Hunter and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Eagle Ford Hunter, Inc. (f/k/a Sharon Hunter Resources, Inc.), referred to as Sharon, Triad Hunter, LLC, Alpha Hunter Drilling, LLC, Hunter Disposal, LLC, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC, Eureka Hunter Pipeline Partners, LLC, Hunter Real Estate, LLC, NGAS Hunter, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition Company I, LLC), Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. (f/k/a NGAS Production, Inc.), Magnum Hunter Resources GP, LLC, Magnum Hunter Resources LP, MHR Callco Corporation, MHR Exchangeco Corporation, Williston Hunter Canada, Inc., Williston Hunter, Inc., Williston Hunter ND, LLC (f/k/a MHR Acquisition II, LLC), NGAS Gathering, LLC, Sentra Corporation, Energy Hunter Securities, Inc (f/k/a NGAS Securities, Inc) and MHR Acquisition Company III, LLC. We also have consolidated our 87.5% controlling interest in PRC Williston, LLC, or PRC, with noncontrolling interests recorded for the outside interest in PRC. The consolidated financial statements also reflect the interest of Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. in various managed drilling partnerships. We account for the interests in these partnerships using the proportionate consolidation method. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates are required for proved oil and gas reserves which, as described in Note 3—Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves, may have a material impact on the carrying value of oil and gas property.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those significant accounting policies that are most critical to an understanding of a company’s financial condition and results of operation. We consider an accounting estimate or judgment to be critical if (i) it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Reclassification of Prior-Year Balances
Certain prior-year balances in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to correspond with current-year classifications.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid debt securities that have original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2011, the Company had cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits at various financial institutions.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt approximate fair value, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. See Note 4 for commodity derivative fair value disclosures.
Oil and Gas Properties
Capitalized Costs
Our oil and gas properties were comprised of the following:
| | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | 2010 | |
| | (in thousands) | |
Mineral interests in properties: | | | | | |
Unproved properties | | $ | 424,610 | | $ | 57,428 | |
Proved properties | | 221,115 | | 84,968 | |
Wells and related equipment and facilities | | 349,533 | | 55,938 | |
Uncompleted wells, equipment and facilities | | 27,741 | | 13,580 | |
Advances | | 4,437 | | 6 | |
Total costs | | 1,027,436 | | 211,920 | |
Less accumulated depreciation and depletion | | (64,471 | ) | (22,008 | ) |
Net capitalized costs | | $ | 962,965 | | $ | 189,912 | |
We follow the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties and to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether the wells have proved reserves. If we determine that the wells do not have proved reserves, the costs are charged to expense. Geological and geophysical costs, including seismic studies and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are charged to expense as incurred. We capitalize interest on expenditures for significant exploration and development projects that last more than six months while activities are in progress to bring the assets to their intended use. No interest was capitalized during the periods presented.
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. A sale of a significant property is treated as discontinued operations. In 2010 we sold our interest in our Cinco Terry property and reflected the gain on sale and current and prior operating results as discontinued operations.
Capitalized amounts attributable to proved oil and gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method over proved reserves using the unit conversion ratio of six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of oil and the ratio of forty-two Gal of natural gas liquids to one Bbl of oil. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas producing property and related equipment was $42.5 million, $8.9 million, and $3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. We recorded $1.1 million in unproved property impairment during the year ended December 31, 2011, comprising $306,000 and $802,000 in our Eagle Ford and Appalachian regions, respectively, due to expiring acreage that we chose not to develop. We recorded none for the year ended December 31, 2010, and $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The 2009 impairment resulted from a write-off of $0.4 million in acreage costs in the Boomerang Prospect in Kentucky as well as a $0.2 million write-off on the LeBlanc Prospect in Louisiana and the West Greene Field in North Dakota.
Capitalized costs related to proved oil and gas properties, including wells and related equipment and facilities, are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the net capitalized costs related to proved properties, then we recognize an impairment charge in income from operations equal to the difference between the net capitalized costs related to proved properties and their estimated fair values based on the present value of the related future net cash flows. Impairment of proved oil and gas properties was calculated on a field by field basis under the successful efforts accounting method. An impairment was recorded when the estimated fair value of a field was less than the net capitalized cost of the field at December 31, 2011. Fair value was determined by calculating the present value of future net cash flows using NYMEX prices in effect during February 2012. We recorded $21.8 million in impairment charges to our proved properties held by Magnum Hunter Production, our wholly-owned subsidiary, for the year ended December 31, 2011, a charge of $0.3 million on our Giddings Field proved properties based on our analysis for the year ended December 31, 2010, and none for the year ended December 31, 2009.
It is common for operators of oil and gas properties to request that joint interest owners pay for large expenditures, typically for drilling new wells, in advance of the work commencing. This right to call for cash advances is typically found in the operating agreement that joint interest owners in a property adopt. We record these advance payments in Advances in our property account and release this account when the actual expenditure is later billed to us by the operator.
On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.
Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Estimates of our proved reserves included in this report are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and SEC guidelines. 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.
Our proved reserve information included in this report was predominately based on evaluations prepared by independent petroleum engineers. Estimates prepared by other third parties may be higher or lower than those included herein. Because these estimates depend on many assumptions, all of which may substantially differ from future actual results, reserve estimates will be different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production after the date of an estimate may justify material revisions to the estimate.
In accordance with SEC requirements, beginning December 31, 2009, we based the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves on the unweighted arithmetic average of the prior 12-month commodity prices as of the first day of each of the months constituting the period and costs on the date of the estimate. In prior years, such estimates had been based on year end prices and costs. Future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than these prices and costs which would impact the estimated value of our reserves.
The estimates of proved reserves materially impact DD&A expense. If the estimates of proved reserves decline, the rate at which we record depreciation and depletion expense will increase, reducing future net income. Such a decline may result from lower market prices, which may make it uneconomic to drill for and produce higher cost fields.
Oil and Gas Operations
Revenue Recognition
Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and petroleum products, and other items are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when the risk of ownership passes to the purchaser and physical delivery of goods occurs, either immediately or within a fixed delivery schedule that is reasonable and customary in the industry.
Revenues from the production of natural gas and crude oil properties in which we have an interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes we sold during the period. Any differences between volumes sold and entitlement volumes, based on our net working interest, which are deemed to be non-recoverable through remaining production, are recognized as accounts receivable or accounts payable, as appropriate. Cumulative differences between volumes sold and entitlement volumes are generally not significant.
Revenues from field servicing activities are recognized at the time the services are provided and earned as provided in the various contract agreements. Gas gathering revenues are recognized at the time the natural gas is delivered at the destination point.
Accounts Receivable
We recognize revenue for our production when the quantities are delivered to or collected by the respective purchaser. Prices for such production are defined in sales contracts and are readily determinable based on certain publicly available indices. All transportation costs are included in marketing expense.
Accounts receivable from joint interest owners consist of uncollateralized joint interest owner obligations due within 30 days of the invoice date. Accounts receivable, oil and gas sales, consist of uncollateralized accrued revenues due under normal trade terms, generally requiring payment within 30 to 60 days of production. No interest is charged on past-due balances. Payments made on all accounts receivable are applied to the earliest unpaid items. We review accounts receivable periodically and reduce the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects our best estimate of the amount that may not be collectible. We had an allowance of $317,000 and $213,000 at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Revenue Payable
Revenue payable represents amounts collected from purchasers for oil and gas sales which are either revenues due to other revenue interest owners or severance taxes due to the respective state or local tax authorities. Generally, we are required to remit amounts due under these liabilities within 30 days of the end of the month in which the related production occurred.
Advances from Non-Operators
Advances from non-operators represent amounts collected in advance for joint operating activities. Such amounts are applied to joint interest accounts receivable as related costs are incurred.
Production Costs
Production costs, including compressor rental and repair, pumpers’ salaries, saltwater disposal, ad valorem taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, expensed workovers and other operating expenses are expensed as incurred and included in lease operating expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
Exploration expenses include dry hole costs, delay rentals, and geological and geophysical costs.
Dependence on Major Customers
For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, we sold substantially all of our oil and gas produced to seven purchasers. Additionally, substantially all of our accounts receivable related to oil and gas sales were due from those seven purchasers at December 31, 2011 and 2010. We believe that there are potential alternative purchasers and that it may be necessary to establish relationships with new purchasers as our production grows. However, there can be no assurance that we can establish such relationships and that those relationships will result in increased purchasers. Although we are exposed to a concentration of credit risk, we believe that all of our purchasers are credit worthy.
Dependence on Suppliers
Our industry is cyclical, and from time to time there is a shortage of drilling rigs, fracture stimulation services, equipment, supplies and qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater. If the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel were particularly severe in the areas where we operate, we could be materially and adversely affected. We believe that there are potential alternative providers of drilling services and that it may be necessary to establish relationships with new contractors as our activity level and capital program grows. However, there can be no assurance that we can establish such relationships or that those relationships will result in increased availability of drilling rigs.
Other Property
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from five to fifteen years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition.
Our gas gathering system assets and field servicing assets are carried at cost. Depreciation of gas gathering system assets is provided using the straight line method over an estimated useful life of fifteen years. Depreciation of field servicing assets is provided using the straight line method over various useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition.
Depreciation expense for other property and equipment was $6.6 million, $86,931, and $41,000, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs
In connection with debt financings we paid $11.6 million and $2.9 million in fees in the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively. These fees were recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the life of the loans using the straight line method for debt is the form of a line of credit and effective interest method for term loans. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $3.6 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We use commodity derivative financial instruments, typically options and swaps, to manage the risk associated with fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Derivative instruments (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) are recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair market value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. Our oil and gas price derivative contracts are not designated as hedges. These instruments have been marked-to-market through earnings.
Asset Retirement Obligation
Our asset retirement obligation primarily represents the estimated present value of the amount we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws. We determine our asset retirement obligation by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to proved properties. Periodic accretion of discount of the estimated liability is recorded as accretion expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Our liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells and our risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. Our liability for asset retirement obligations was approximately $20.6 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See Note 8—“Asset Retirement Obligations” to our consolidated financial statements for more information.
Share Based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases related to employee stock purchase plans, on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense ratably over the requisite service periods. Awards that vest only upon achievement of performance criteria are recorded only
when achievement of the performance criteria is considered probable. We estimate the fair value of each share-based award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or a lattice model. These models are highly complex and dependent on key estimates by management. The estimates with the greatest degree of subjective judgment are the estimated lives of the stock-based awards, the estimated volatility of our stock price, and the assessment of whether the achievement of performance criteria is probable.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
We recognize liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires us to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as we must determine the probability of various possible outcomes. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis or when new information becomes available to management. These reevaluations are based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, successfully settled issues under audit, expirations due to statutes, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an increase to the tax accrual. We had no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2011 or 2010.
We classify interest related to income tax liabilities as income tax expense, and if applicable, penalties are recognized as a component of income tax expense. The income tax liabilities and accrued interest and penalties that are anticipated to be due within one year of the balance sheet date are presented as current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Loss per Common Share
Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact to net income and common shares for the potential dilution from stock options, stock warrants and any other outstanding convertible securities.
We have issued potentially dilutive instruments in the form of our restricted common stock granted and not yet issued, common stock warrants and common stock options granted to our employees. There were 26,129,637 and 13,862,360 dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We did not include any of these instruments in our calculation of diluted loss per share during the period because to include them would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss during the periods.
The following table summarizes the types of potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):
| | December 31, | |
| | 2011 | | 2010 | |
Warrants | | 13,526 | | 963 | |
Restricted Shares granted, not yet issued | | 38 | | 118 | |
Common Stock Options | | 12,566 | | 12,781 | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, further clarifying how to measure and disclose fair value. This guidance amends the application of the “highest and best use” concept to be used only in the measurement of fair value of nonfinancial assets, clarifies that the measurement of the fair value of equity-classified financial instruments should be performed from the perspective of a market participant who holds the instrument as an asset, clarifies that an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net risk exposure can measure those financial instruments on the basis of its net exposure to those risks, and clarifies when premiums and discounts should be taken into account when measuring fair value. The fair value disclosure requirements also were amended. The amendment is effective for the Company at the beginning of January 2012, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income which amended requirements for the presentation of other comprehensive income (OCI), requiring presentation of comprehensive income in either a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or on separate but consecutive statements, the statement of operations and the statement of OCI. The amendment is effective for the Company at the beginning of fiscal year 2013 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected early adoption of the guidance, which only impacted the presentation of OCI on the financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820-10). These new disclosures require entities to separately disclose amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements for Level 3, entities should present separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of the disclosures did not have a material impact on our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information.
Regulated Activities
Energy Hunter Securities, Inc. is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Among other regulatory requirements, it is subject to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Because it does not hold customer funds or securities or owe money or securities to customers, Energy Hunter Securities, Inc. is required to maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $5,000 or 6.67% of its aggregate indebtedness. At December 31, 2011, Energy Hunter Securities, Inc. had net capital of $49,000 and aggregate indebtedness of $132,000.
Sentra Corporation’s gas distribution billing rates are regulated by Kentucky’s Public Service Commission based on recovery of purchased gas costs. We account for its operations based on the provisions of ASC 980-605, Regulated Operations—Revenue Recognition, which requires covered entities to record regulatory assets and liabilities resulting from actions of regulators. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our gross revenue from Sentra Corporation’s regulated operations aggregating $61,000 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards also establish a framework for measuring fair value and a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability. Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels:
· Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets
· Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable
· Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable
We used the following fair value measurements for certain of our assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:
Level 1 Classification:
Available for Sale Securities
At December 31, 2011, the Company held common stock of a company publicly traded on the TSX Venture Exchange with quoted prices in active markets. Accordingly, the fair market value measurements of these securities have been classified as Level 1.
Level 2 Classification:
Derivative Instruments
At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had commodity derivative financial instruments in place. The Company does not apply hedge accounting; therefore, the changes in fair value subsequent to the initial measurement are recorded as income or expense. The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information which resulted in the Company classifying such derivatives as Level 2. Although the Company’s derivative instruments are valued using public indexes, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange. See Note 4—Financial Instruments and Derivatives, for additional information.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s derivative contracts were with Bank of Montreal, Keybank National Association, Credit Suisse Energy, LLC, UBS AG London Branch, and Deutsche Bank AG London Branch, which are participants in our revolving credit facility, and have investment grade credit ratings which are believed to have a minimal credit risk. As such, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties in the derivative contracts discussed above; however, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance.

NOTE 5—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND DERIVATIVES
We enter into certain commodity derivative instruments which are effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of our future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. Our oil and gas operating revenues and cash flows are impacted by changes in commodity product prices, which are volatile and cannot be accurately predicted. Our objective for holding these commodity derivatives is to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of our future crude oil and natural gas sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices. We have not designated any of our commodity derivatives as hedges under ASC 815.
As of December 31, 2011, the terms of our commodity derivatives were:

NOTE 6—ACQUISITIONS
Triad Hunter
On February 12, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of privately-held Triad Energy Corporation and certain of its affiliated entities, collectively referred to as Triad Hunter, an Appalachian Basin focused energy company, through a bankruptcy proceeding (the “Triad Acquisition”). The Triad Acquisition was completed to expand the assets and operations of Magnum Hunter in the Appalachia region. We acquired substantially all of the assets of Triad Hunter, which primarily consisted of oil and gas property interests in approximately 2,000 operated wells and included over 87,000 net mineral acres located in the states of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia, a natural gas pipeline (Eureka Hunter Pipeline), two commercial salt water disposal facilities, three drilling rigs, workover rigs, and other oilfield equipment. These assets are now held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triad Hunter, LLC, Alpha Hunter Drilling, LLC, Hunter Disposal, LLC, Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC, and Hunter Real Estate, LLC.
The acquisition of Triad Hunter was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the net assets acquired to be recorded at their fair values. The following table summarizes the purchase price and the fair values of the net assets acquired as of December 31, 2010 (in thousands, except share information):
Fair value of total purchase price: | | | |

Because Triad Hunter and certain of its affiliated entities had been operating under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code since December 2008, the acquisition agreement did not include customary indemnification provisions, but did contain closing conditions and representations and warranties that are typical for a transaction of this nature.
In connection with the Triad Acquisition and pursuant to the Bankruptcy Order on February 12, 2010, we issued, in the aggregate, 4,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock with a stated value of $15,000,000. In June 2010, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were either converted into shares of common stock of the Company or redeemed by the Company for cash. See Note 11 — Shareholders’ Equity for additional information.
PostRock
On December 24, 2010, Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation and Triad Hunter, LLC entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which Triad Hunter agreed to purchase certain oil and gas properties and leasehold mineral interests and related assets located in Wetzel and Lewis Counties, West Virginia and certain additional assets. The Purchase Agreement provided for the acquisition to be completed in two phases. Both phases are effective as of November 1, 2010.
The first phase of the acquisition closed on December 30, 2010. Total consideration paid in the first closing was approximately $31.0 million which consisted of 2,255,046 shares of common stock valued at approximately $17.1 million on December 30, 2010 and a cash payment of approximately $13.9 million. See Note 10 —Shareholders’ Equity for additional information.
On January 14, 2011, we closed the second phase of the PostRock acquisition, which consisted of the Lewis County assets, for total consideration of approximately $13.3 million which consisted of 946,314 shares of our restricted common stock valued at approximately $7.5 million and a cash payment of approximately $5.8 million.
On June 16, 2011, we closed a third phase of the PostRock acquisition comprising of assets located in Wetzel and Lewis Counties for a total purchase price of $4.9 million in cash before considering applicable adjustments.
The acquisition of the PostRock assets is accounted for using the acquisition method as set out in ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires the net assets acquired to be recorded at their fair values. The fair value of the net assets acquired approximated the $49.3 million in consideration paid.
Wetzel County, West Virginia Asset Acquisition
On April 7, 2011, the Company purchased oil and gas properties and related assets located in Wetzel County, West Virginia. The assets purchased included approximately 4,451 gross acres (2,225 net acres) of oil and gas leases and mineral interests and existing wells with proven reserves.
We acquired the assets for a total purchase price of $20.0 million, payable in cash and subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Subject to the indemnification obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we assumed certain customary liabilities in connection with the acquisition.
NGAS
On April 13, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of NGAS Resources, Inc, referred to as NGAS, for total consideration of approximately $124.5 million consisting of $15.3 million in cash, $53.1 million in debt assumed, 6,986,104 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $55.8 million based on the closing stock price of $7.99 on April 13, 2011, and $1.2 million in warrant liability, of which $1.0 million was paid out in cash upon exercise of the cash option (included in $53.1 million in cash above) and 138,388 warrants are outstanding that are exercisable for common stock of the Company. The Company has liquidated NGAS into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, NGAS Hunter, LLC, and changed the name of its subsidiary NGAS Production Co. to Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. and the name of another subsidiary, NGAS Securities, Inc. to Energy Hunter Securities, Inc.
The fair value of the net assets acquired, approximated the $124.5 million in consideration paid or assumed.

NOTE 7—DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On October 29, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with a subsidiary of Approach Resources, Inc., referred to as Approach, for the sale to Approach of Magnum Hunter’s 10.0% non-operated working interest in the Cinco Terry property located in Crockett County, Texas, which closed on October 29, 2010. Total cash consideration of the sale to Approach was $21.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. We recorded a gain of approximately $6.7 million on the disposal. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay down our revolving credit loan and to fund expenditures under our capital budget. Our borrowing base under the revolving credit agreement was reduced to $65 million from $75 million, at that time, as a result of the sale.

Credit Facilities
MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility. On April 13, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, referred to as the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility. The MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility amended and restated, in its entirety, that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 12, 2010.
The MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility provides for an asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility maturing April 13, 2016. The initial borrowing base was set at $120 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NGAS. The borrowing base was subsequently increased to $145 million upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of NuLoch, which closed on May 3, 2011. The MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility is governed by a semi-annual borrowing base redetermination derived from the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves, and based on such redeterminations, the borrowing base may be decreased or may be increased up to a maximum commitment level of $250 million. The borrowing base is subject to such periodic redeterminations commencing November 1, 2011. The borrowing base is currently set at $235 million. At December 31, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with the covenant requiring
a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The lenders provided the Company with a waiver of that December 31, 2011 covenant violation but the Company is required to meet the quarterly measurements for the covenant throughout 2012, which management believes is probable.
The facility may be used for loans and, subject to a $10,000,000 sublimit, letters of credit. The facility provides for a commitment fee of 0.5% based on the unused portion of the borrowing base under the facility.
Borrowings under the facility will, at the Company’s election, bear interest at either: (i) an alternate base rate, referred to as ABR, equal to the higher of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum and (C) the LIBO Rate for a one month interest period on such day plus 1.0%; or (ii) the adjusted LIBO Rate, which is the rate stated on Reuters BBA Libor Rates LIBOR01 market for one, two, three, six or twelve months, as adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, plus, in each of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75% for ABR loans and from 2.25% to 3.25% for adjusted LIBO Rate loans.
Upon any payment default, the interest rate then in effect shall be increased on such overdue amount by an additional 2% per annum for the period that the default exists plus the rate applicable to ABR loans.
The MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company to, with certain exceptions: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) grant liens; (3) make certain restricted payments; (4) change the nature of its business; (5) dispose of its assets; (6) enter into mergers, consolidations or similar transactions; (7) make investments, loans or advances; (8) pay cash dividends, unless certain conditions are met, and subject to a “basket” of $20,000,000 per year available for payment of dividends on preferred stock; and (9) enter into transactions with affiliates. The Second Restated Credit Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (1) a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 or of not less than 1.05 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2012 if the amounts owed under the Second Lien Credit Agreement have not been repaid in full as of such date; (2) a ratio of EBITDAX to interest of not less than 2.5 to 1.0; and (3) a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX of not more than (a) 4.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 and (b) 4.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Company is also required to enter into certain commodity hedging agreements pursuant to the terms of the facility. At December 31, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with a covenant under our MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility requiring a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The bank provided the Company with a waiver of that December 31, 2011 covenant violation but the Company is required to meet the quarterly measurements for the covenant throughout 2012, which management believes is probable.
The obligations of the Company under the facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility). Events of default include customary events for a financing agreement of this type, including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy or related defaults, defaults relating to judgments and the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.
Subject to certain permitted liens, the Company’s obligations under the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility have been secured by the grant of a first priority lien on no less than 80% of the value of the proved oil and gas properties of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, which liens include those properties acquired through the acquisition of NGAS, and additional liens were granted on the properties acquired upon the closing of the NuLoch acquisition.
In connection with the facility, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries also entered into certain customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which, among other things, provide that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company arising under or in connection with the facility are unconditionally guaranteed by such subsidiaries.
MHR Term Loan Facility. On September 28, 2011, the Company entered into a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, referred to as the MHR Term Loan Facility by and among the Company, Capital One, N.A., as Administrative Agent, BMO Harris Financing, Inc., as Syndication Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Documentation Agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Capital One, N.A., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, and the lenders party thereto.
The MHR Term Loan Facility provides for a term loan credit facility, referred to as the Term Loan Facility maturing on October 13, 2016, in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which was fully drawn on the closing date. Amounts repaid under the Term Loan Facility may not be redrawn in the future.
Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will, at the Company’s election, bear interest at either: (i) an ABR equal to the higher of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum and (C) the LIBO Rate for a one month interest period in effect on such day plus 1.0%; or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate, which is the rate stated on Reuters
BBA Libor Rates LIBOR01, provided that such amount shall not be less than 1.0% per annum through June 30, 2012 and not less than 2.0% per annum for any period after June 30, 2012; plus in each of the cases described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, an applicable margin of 6.0% for ABR loans and 7.0% for Adjusted LIBO Rate loans for periods through June 30, 2012 and 7.0% for ABR loans and 8.0% for Adjusted LIBO Rate loans for periods after June 30, 2012.
Overdue amounts shall bear interest at a rate equal to 2.0% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR loans.
The Company may elect to prepay amounts due under the Term Loan Facility without penalty during the first 12 months. The Company will be subject to a 2.0% penalty of the principal amount being prepaid during the second year of the Term Loan Facility and a 1.0% penalty of the principal amount being prepaid during the third year of the Term Loan Facility. Any optional prepayments made after the third year of the Term Loan Facility will not be subject to an additional prepayment premium or penalty.
The Company is subject to mandatory prepayments under the Term Loan Facility for certain percentages of the net cash proceeds received as a result of: (i) future issuances of certain debt securities, including those convertible into the Company’s common stock or other equity interests; (ii) sales or other dispositions of the Company’s property and assets subject to customary reinvestment provisions and certain other exceptions; and (iii) future issuances of the Company’s equity interests including its common stock, preferred stock and other convertible securities subject to certain exceptions.
The MHR Term Loan Facility contains negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company to, with certain exceptions: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) grant liens; (3) make certain restricted payments; (4) change the nature of its business; (5) dispose of its assets; (6) enter into mergers, consolidations or similar transactions; (7) make investments, loans or advances; (8) pay cash dividends, unless certain conditions are met, and subject to a “basket” of $20,000,000 per year available for payment of dividends on preferred stock; and (9) enter into transactions with affiliates.
The MHR Term Loan Facility also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining (1) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than (a) 0.85 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on or before March 31, 2012 and (b) 1.0 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter; (2) a ratio of its Total Reserve Value (as such term is defined in the MHR Term Loan Facility) to total indebtedness under the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility and MHR Term Loan Facility of not less than 1.5 to 1.0; (3) a ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense of not less than 2.125 to 1.0 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011; and (4) a ratio of total debt to EBITDAX of not more than (a) 5.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011; (b) 5.00 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2011; and (c) 4.75 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. The Company was out of compliance with the ratio of current assets to current liabilities covenant at December 31, 2011, and the bank group permanently waived this covenant violation as described above.
The obligations of the Company under the facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the MHR Term Loan Facility). Events of default include customary events for a financing agreement of this type, including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, bankruptcy or related defaults, defaults relating to judgments and the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.
The Company’s obligations under the MHR Term Loan Facility have been secured by the grant of a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including the oil and gas properties of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries.
In connection with the MHR Term Loan Facility, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries also entered into certain customary ancillary agreements and arrangements, which, among other things, provide that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company arising under or in connection with the MHR Term Loan Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by such restricted subsidiaries.

The Eureka Hunter Revolver provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (with an initial committed amount of $25 million), secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of Eureka Hunter.
The Eureka Hunter term loan provides for a $50 million term loan, secured by a second lien on substantially all of the assets of Eureka Hunter. The entire $50 million of the term loan must be drawn before any portion of the revolver is drawn. The revolver has a maturity date of August 16, 2016, and the term loan has a maturity date of August 16, 2018. On August 16, 2011, Eureka Hunter drew $31 million under the term loan, $21 million of which was distributed to the Company to repay existing corporate indebtedness. Both the revolver and the term loan are non-recourse to Magnum Hunter.
The terms of the Eureka Hunter Revolver provide that the revolver may be used for (i) revolving loans, (ii) swingline loans in an aggregate amount of up to $5 million at any one time outstanding, or (iii) letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $5 million at any one time outstanding. The revolver provides for a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum based on the unused portion of the commitment under the revolver.
Borrowings under the revolver will, at Eureka Hunter’s election, bear interest at:
· a base rate equal to the highest of (A) the prime lending rate announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent, (B) the then-effective Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, or (C) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Eureka Hunter Revolver) for a one-month interest period on such day plus 1.0% per annum, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%; or

If an event of default occurs under either the revolver or the term loan, the applicable lenders may increase the interest rate then in effect by an additional 2.0% per annum for the period that the default exists under the revolver or term loan, respectively.

Each warrant issued to a purchaser has a term of 3 years and (i) is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock at any time after the shares of common stock underlying the warrant are registered with the SEC for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, which was June 12, 2010, (ii) has a cash exercise price of $2.50 per share of the Company’s common stock, and (iii) upon notice to the holder of the warrant, is redeemable by the Company for $0.01 per share of the Company’s common stock underlying the warrant if (a) the Registration Statement as filed with the SEC is effective and (b) the average trading price of the Company’s common stock as traded and quoted on the NYSE Amex equals or exceeds $3.75 per share for at least 20 days in any period of 30 consecutive days.
On November 16, 2009, the Company issued 1,280,744 common stock warrants. The warrants, which represent the right to acquire an aggregate of up to 1,280,744 common shares, will be exercisable at any time on or after May 17, 2010 and have a term of 3 years, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, which was 145% of the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the NYSE AMEX on November 11, 2009.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, 251,500 of our $3.00 common stock warrants, 1,562,504 of our $2.50 common stock warrants, and 5,722,650 of our $2.00 common stock warrants were exercised for total combined proceeds of approximately $16.1 million and 78,000 of our $2.00 common stock warrants expired.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, 771,812 of our $3.00 common stock warrants and 42,045 of our $2.50 common stock warrants were exercised for total combined proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, and 15,000 of our $3.00 common stock warrants expired.
On April 13, 2011, at the time of the NGAS acquisition, NGAS had 4,609,038 warrants outstanding which were converted, based on the exchange ratio of 0.0846, to 389,924 warrants exercisable for Magnum Hunter common stock. The warrants had a cash out option, which remained available to the holder for 30 days from the date of the acquisition, based on fair market
value of the warrants at April 13, 2011. The Company paid cash of $1.0 million upon exercise of the cash out option on the warrants exercisable for 251,536 shares of the Company’s common stock. At December 31, 2011, common stock warrants exercisable for 138,388 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at approximately $190,000 were outstanding. The warrants consisted of 97,780 warrants with an exercise price of $15.13 and 40,608 warrants with an exercise price of $19.04.
On August 13, 2011, the Company declared a dividend to be paid in the form of one common stock warrant for every ten shares held by holders of record of our common stock and exchangeable shares of MHR Exchangeco Corporation on August 31, 2011. The Company issued 12,875,093 common stock warrants to common stock holders and 378,174 warrants to holders of MHR Exchangeco Corporation exchangeable shares. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for an initial exercise price of $10.50 and expires on October 14, 2013. The fair market value of the warrants was $6.9 million. The warrants were accounted for in additional paid-in capital rather than as a reduction of retained earnings because the Company has an accumulated deficit position.

Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with the Triad Acquisition and pursuant to the related Bankruptcy Order on February 12, 2010, we issued in the aggregate 4,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $15 million to the secured creditors of the Triad entities as partial consideration for the Triad Acquisition. These holders of Series B Preferred were secured creditors of Triad Hunter in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding and the Series B Preferred was issued to them in partial satisfaction of their secured claims against Triad Hunter. The Series B Preferred Stock ranked senior to the Company’s common stock and to the Company’s 10.25% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), the Series B Preferred Stock was entitled to dividends at a rate of 2.75% per annum payable quarterly (i) in shares of Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) subject to the receipt of any required consent under the Company’s senior credit facility, in cash. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) $3.75 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, or (ii) the amount payable per share of common stock which the holder of Series B Preferred Stock would have received if such Series B Preferred Stock had been converted to common shares immediately prior to the liquidation event, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At any time prior to the twentieth anniversary of the original issuance of Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock could convert any or all of their Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion ratio of one share of Series B Preferred Stock to one share of common stock, subject to certain djustments. At any time following the second anniversary of the original issuance of Series B Preferred and prior to the twentieth anniversary of such original issuance, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred stock could tender their shares for redemption to the Company for a redemption price of $3.75 per Series B share, as adjusted. In addition, the Company could redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $3.75 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (a) at any time following February 12, 2012, or (b) if the average trading price of the Common Stock equaled or exceeded $4.74 per common share, as adjusted, for five consecutive trading days.
In June 2010, the Company redeemed 3,000,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock for a cash payment of approximately $11.3 million, and 1,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. In June 2010, the Company retired the Series B Preferred Stock.
Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock
On December 13, 2009, the Company sold 214,950 shares of our 10.25% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference $25.00 per share (the “ Series C Preferred Stock “) for net proceeds of $5.1
million. The Series C Preferred Stock cannot be converted into common stock of the Company, but may be redeemed by the Company, at the Company’s option, on or after December 14, 2011 for par value or $25.00 per share. In the event of a change of control of the Company, the Series C Preferred Stock will be redeemable by the holders at $26.00 per share during the first twelve months after December 14, 2009, $25.50 during the second twelve months after December 14, 2009, and $25.00 thereafter, except in certain circumstances when the acquirer is considered a qualifying public company. The Company will pay cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock at a fixed rate of 10.25% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company sold 2,594,506 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock under our ATM agreement for net proceeds of $63.4 million.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company sold 1,190,544 shares of our 10.25% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, under our ATM sales agreement for net proceeds of $29.1 million. The sales during the year ended December 31, 2011 have fully subscribed the authorized 4,000,000 shares of Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company paid dividends of $10.2 million to holders of our Series C Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock cannot be converted into common stock of the Company but may be redeemed by the Company, at the Company’s option, on or after December 14, 2011. The Series C Preferred Stock is recorded as temporary equity because a forced redemption, upon certain circumstances as a result of a change in control of the Company, is outside the Company’s control.
Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company sold 1,437,558 shares of our 8.0% Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, of which 400,000 were sold in an underwritten offering and 1,037,558 were sold under the ATM sales agreement, for net proceeds of $65.9 million. The Series D Preferred Stock cannot be converted into common stock of the Company but may be redeemed by the Company, at the Company’s option, on or after March 14, 2014 for par value or $50.00 per share or in certain circumstances prior to such date as a result of a change in control of the Company. The Company pays cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum of the $50.00 per share liquidation preference. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company paid dividends of $3.8 million to holders of our Series D Cumulative Preferred Stock.

At December 31, 2011, we had available for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) for regular tax purposes of approximately $142 million which expires in varying amounts during the tax years 2019 through 2031 and foreign NOL of approximately $49 million which expire during the tax years 2015 through 2031. We also have approximately $2.5 million of depletion carryover which has no expiration. Approximately $45 million of our NOL relates to corporate acquisitions and the utilization of that portion of the NOL is limited on an annual basis under Section 382 as discussed below. With the exception of the tax benefits related to the NuLoch acquisition, no provision for federal income tax benefit is reflected on the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, because we are uncertain as to our ability to utilize our NOL in the future. In May of 2011, we recorded a deferred tax liability in connection with the NuLoch acquisition and have recognized a deferred tax benefit due to the reversal of timing differences during the year.
The NOL above includes $9 million of deductions for excess stock-based compensation. Excess stock-based compensation deductions represent stock-based compensation that have generated tax deductions that have not yet resulted in a cash tax benefit because the Company has NOL carryforwards. The Company plans to recognize the federal NOL tax assets associated with excess stock-based compensation tax deductions only when all other components of the federal NOL tax assets have been fully utilized. If and when the excess stock-based compensation related NOL tax assets are realized, the benefit will be credited directly to equity. Internal Revenue Code, or I.R.C., Section 382 imposes additional limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards in the tax years following an “ownership change”. For this purpose, an ownership change results from stock transactions that increase the ownership of certain existing and new stockholders in the corporation by more than 50 percentage points during the previous three year testing period. The minimum annual NOL utilization limitation amount is determined by multiplying Company’s market capitalization value on the ownership change date by the applicable federal interest rate. The amount of the limitation may, under certain circumstances, be increased to reflect both recognized and deemed recognized built-in gains that occur, or are deemed to occur, during the five-year period immediately following the ownership change. An ownership change occurred in 2007 that subjected approximately $13 million of NOL carryforwards to the annual NOL utilization limitations provided for in Section 382 in addition to the limitation on the NOL related to the acquisitions discussed above. However, the annual NOL utilization limitations applicable to these ownership changes are not expected to have a material impact on our ability to utilize the NOL carryforwards generated in those prior years.
The following is a reconciliation of the reported amount of income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 to the amount of income tax expense that would result from applying domestic federal statutory tax rates to pretax income:

The Oilfield Services, Midstream, and Upstream functions best define the operating segments of Company that are reported separately. The factors used to identify these reportable segments are based on the nature of the operations that are undertaken by each segment. The Upstream segment is organized and operates to explore for and produce crude oil and natural gas. The Company has significant operations both in the United States and in Canada in the Upstream segment. The Oilfield Services segment is organized and operates to sell services to third party producers of crude oil and natural gas. The Midstream segment operates a network of pipelines that gathers natural gas. These segments are broadly understood across the petroleum and petrochemical industries.
These functions have been defined as the operating segments of the Company because they are the segments (1) that engage in business activities from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (2) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) for which discrete financial information is available.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information
Proved oil and gas reserve quantities are based on estimates prepared by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. and AJM, Magnum Hunter’s third party reservoir engineering firms. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures. The following reserve data only represent estimates and should not be construed as being exact.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Reserves
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves and the changes in standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves were prepared in accordance with then current provisions of ASC 932 and SFAS 69. Future cash inflows at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were computed by applying the unweighted, arithmetic average on the closing price on the first day of each month for the 12-month period prior to December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 to estimated future production. Future production and development costs are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and natural gas reserves at year-end, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
Future income tax expenses are calculated by applying appropriate year-end tax rates to future pretax net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves, less the tax basis of properties involved.
Future income tax expenses give effect to permanent differences, tax credits and loss carryforwards relating to the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Future net cash flows are discounted at a rate of 10% annually to derive the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This calculation procedure does not necessarily result in an estimate of the fair market value of our oil and natural gas properties.
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and natural gas reserves are as follows:

NOTE 14 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During 2011, 2010, and 2009, we rented an airplane for business use at various times from Pilatus Hunter, LLC, an entity 100% owned by Gary C. Evans, our Chairman and CEO. Airplane rental expenses totaled $463,000, $450,000, and $161,000, for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
During 2011, 2010, and 2009, we obtained accounting services and use of office space from GreenHunter Energy, Inc., an entity for which Mr. Evans is an officer and major shareholder and for which Ronald Ormand, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, is also a director. Professional services expenses totaled $162,000, $212,000, and $30,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. All accounting services are now managed entirely by Magnum Hunter employees.
We entered into a one year lease for a corporate apartment from an executive of the Company who was transferred for monthly rent of $4,500 for use by Company employees. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company paid rent of $36,000 pertaining to the lease.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, Eagle Ford Hunter, Triad Hunter and Hunter Disposal, LLC, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, rented storage tanks for disposal water and equipment from GreenHunter Energy, Inc. Rental costs totaled $1.3 million, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Terms for the storage rental are comparable to those that could be obtained from third parties in the marketplace.
As of December 31, 2011, our net accounts payable to GreenHunter Energy, Inc. was $70,000.
On October 13, 2011, the Company purchased an office building for $1.7 million from GreenHunter Energy, Inc. In conjunction with the purchase, the Company entered into a term note with a financial institution for $1.4 million due on November 30, 2017, a portion of which note is guaranteed by Mr. Evans. The building houses the accounting functions of Magnum Hunter and the building purchase enabled the Company to terminate the previous services arrangement described above.
On February 17, 2012, the Company divested its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hunter Disposal, LLC, to GreenHunter Water, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GreenHunter Energy, Inc. See Note 17 — Subsequent Events, for more information.
NOTE 15 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Payable on Sale of Partnership
On September 26, 2008, the Company sold its 5.33% limited partner interest in Hall-Houston Exploration II, L. P. pursuant to a Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement dated September 26, 2008, as amended on September 29, 2008. The interest was purchased by a non-affiliated partnership for a cash consideration of $8.0 million and the purchaser’s assumption of the first $1,353,000 of capital calls subsequent to September 26, 2008. The Company agreed to reimburse the purchaser for up to $754,255 of capital calls in excess of the first $1,353,000. The Company’s net gain on the sale of the asset is subject to future upward adjustment to the extent that some or all of the $754,255 is not called. The liability as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $640,695.
Operational Contingencies
The exploration, development and production of oil and gas assets are subject to various, federal and state laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. Compliance with these regulations is part of our day-to-day operating procedures. Infrequently, accidental discharge of such materials as oil, natural gas or drilling fluids can occur and such accidents can require material expenditures to correct. We maintain levels of insurance we believe to be customary in the industry to limit its financial exposure. We are unaware of any material capital expenditures required for environmental control during this fiscal year.
Leases
As of December 31, 2011, we rent various office spaces in Houston, Texas, that total approximately 22,966 square feet at a cost of $37,925 per month for the remaining terms ranging from two to fifty-two months. Triad Hunter had various lease commitments for periods ranging from three to seventy-four months at December 31, 2011, and with monthly payments of approximately $29,518 as of that date. Williston Hunter has office spaces in Calgary, Alberta and Denver, Colorado that have a combined monthly payment of $31,517.
Drilling Contract
On June 24, 2011, the Company entered into a forty month drilling contract from July 1, 2011, through October 31, 2014. Our remaining maximum liability under the drilling contract, which would apply if we terminated the contract before the end of its term, was approximately $16.6 million as of December 31, 2011.
Employment Agreements
We have outstanding employment agreements with three of our senior and executive officers for terms ranging from four to nine months. Our maximum commitment under the employment agreements, which would apply if the employees covered by these agreements were all terminated without cause, was approximately $963,000 at December 31, 2011.
