GENERAL	'
	NOTE 1 - GENERAL
	Organization and Nature of Operations
	Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, operating directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Magnum Hunter”), is a Houston, Texas based independent exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition and development of producing properties and undeveloped acreage and the production of oil and natural gas, in the United States and Canada, along with certain midstream and oil field services activities.
	Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements
	The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Magnum Hunter are presented in U.S. Dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
	Certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended.
	Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiaries
	The Company has consolidated Eureka Hunter Holdings, LLC (“Eureka Hunter Holdings”) in which it owned 55.79% as of March 31, 2014 and 56.4% as of December 31, 2013. Eureka Hunter Holdings owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests of Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC ("Eureka Hunter Pipeline"), TransTex Hunter, LLC ("TransTex Hunter"), and Eureka Hunter Land, LLC. On December 30, 2013, the Company's subsidiary, PRC Williston, LLC ("PRC Williston"), in which the Company owns 87.5%, sold substantially all of its assets. The consolidated financial statements also reflect the interests of Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. ("MHP") in various managed drilling partnerships. The Company accounts for the interests in these partnerships using the proportionate consolidation method.
	Reclassification of Prior-Year Balances
	Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to correspond with current-year presentation.  As a result of the Company's adoption of a plan in September 2013 to dispose of certain of its U.S. and Canadian properties, operating income and expenses related to these operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See "Note 2 - Divestitures and Discontinued Operations".
	Regulated Activities
	Energy Hunter Securities, Inc. is a 100%-owned subsidiary and 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. 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Energy Hunter Securities, Inc. had net capital of $90,610 and $77,953, respectively, and aggregate indebtedness of $4,000 and $16,657, respectively.
	Sentra Corporation, a 100%-owned subsidiary, owns and operates distribution systems for retail sales of natural gas in south central Kentucky. Sentra Corporation's gas distribution billing rates are regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission based on recovery of purchased gas costs. The Company accounts 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had gas transmission, compression and processing revenue, reported in income from discontinued operations, which included gas utility sales from Sentra Corporation's regulated operations aggregating to $171,072. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company had no revenues related to Sentra Corporation's regulated operations.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules.  The Company regularly reviews all new pronouncements to determine their impact, if any, on its financial statements.
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes ("FASB ASC Topic 740"). This update clarified that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or its financial statement disclosures.
	In March, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, to provide guidance on whether to release cumulative translation adjustments (“CTA”) upon certain derecognition events. ASU 2013-05 requires a parent company to apply the guidance in ASC Subtopic 830-30 when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business within a foreign entity. Consequently, the CTA related to a foreign entity is released into net income only if the transaction results in complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resided; otherwise, no portion of the CTA is released.  The Company adopted this pronouncement prospectively on January 1, 2014. The adoption of this updated standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 , Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 updates the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in ASC Subtopic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, by requiring classification as discontinued operations of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when either 1) the component or group of components of an entity meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, 2) are disposed of by sale, or 3) are disposed of other than by sale (e.g. abandonment or a distribution to owners in a spinoff). The amendments in this update expand the disclosure requirements related to discontinued operations and disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements.
	This ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals (or classification as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

	Discontinued Operations
	Planned Divestitures of Magnum Hunter Production and Williston Hunter Canada
	In September 2013, the Company adopted a plan to divest all of its interests in (i) Magnum Hunter Production, Inc. (“MHP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company whose oil and natural gas operations are located primarily in the Southern Appalachian Basin in Kentucky and Tennessee, and (ii) the Canadian operations of Williston Hunter Canada, Inc. ("WHI Canada"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
	On April 10, 2014, the Company, through WHI Canada, closed on the sale of a portion of its interests in oil and natural gas properties and related assets in Alberta, Canada which were classified as held for sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. On April 22, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell 100% of its ownership interest in WHI Canada. See "Note 20 - Subsequent Events". The Company is actively marketing its interests in MHP and anticipates entering into a purchase and sale agreement for MHP by the end of the second quarter of 2014. The Company has classified the associated assets and liabilities of MHP and WHI Canada to assets and liabilities held for sale and the operations are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $92.4 million to record MHP and WHI Canada at their estimated selling price less costs to sell. Based upon additional information on estimated selling prices obtained through active marketing of the assets, the Company has recorded an additional impairment expense of $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to reflect the net assets at their estimated selling prices, less costs to sell, which is recorded in loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	The following shows the Company's assets and liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	Sale of Eagle Ford Hunter
	On April 24, 2013, the Company closed on the sale of all of its ownership interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle Ford Hunter, Inc. ("Eagle Ford Hunter") to an affiliate of Penn Virginia for a total purchase price of approximately $422.1 million paid to the Company in the form of $379.8 million in cash (after estimated customary initial purchase price adjustments) and 10.0 million shares of common stock of Penn Virginia valued at approximately $42.3 million (based on the closing market price of the stock of $4.23 as of April 24, 2013). The effective date of the sale was January 1, 2013. The Company has recognized a preliminary gain on the sale of $172.5 million, net of tax, pending final working capital adjustments. The Company and Penn Virginia have been unable to agree upon the final settlement of the working capital adjustments and the disagreement has been submitted to arbitration. The Company is currently awaiting the ruling of the arbitrator.
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company estimated that the final working capital adjustment is a reduction to the preliminary gain recognized in 2013 ranging from $22 million to $33 million, net of tax.  The Company has recorded a liability for its revised estimate of the final adjustment, and has recorded the impact to earnings as a reduction to the gain on disposal of discontinued operations.
	The Company included the results of operations of MHP and WHI Canada for all periods presented, and Eagle Ford Hunter through March 31, 2013, in discontinued operations as follows:

	Sale of Certain other Eagle Ford Shale Assets
	On January 28, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Shale Hunter LLC (“Shale Hunter”) and certain other affiliates, closed on the sale of certain of its oil and natural gas properties and related assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas to New Standard Energy Texas LLC (“NSE Texas”), a subsidiary of New Standard Energy Limited (“NSE”), an Australian Securities Exchange-listed Australian company.
	The assets sold consisted primarily of interests in leasehold acreage located in Atascosa County, Texas and working interests in five horizontal wells, four of which wells were operated by the Company. The effective date of the sale was December 1, 2013. As consideration for the assets sold, the Company received aggregate purchase price consideration of $15.5 million in cash, after customary purchase price adjustments, and 65,650,000 ordinary shares of NSE with a fair value of approximately $9.4 million at January 28, 2014 (based on the closing market price of $0.14 per share on January 28, 2014). These investment holdings represent approximately 17% of the total shares outstanding of NSE at January 28, 2014, and have been designated as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at fair value (See "Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments"). The Company recognized a loss on the sale of these assets of $4.5 million.
	In connection with the closing of the sale, Shale Hunter and NSE Texas entered into a transition services agreement which provides that, during a specified transition period, Shale Hunter will provide NSE Texas with certain transitional services relating to the assets sold for which it will receive a monthly fee.
	Upon, and as a result of, the closing of the sale on January 28, 2014, the borrowing base under the Company’s asset-based, senior secured revolving credit facility was automatically reduced by $10.0 million to $232.5 million as of the closing date.

FAIR_VALUE_OF_FINANCIAL_INSTRU

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	'
	NOTE 8 - 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
	Transfers between Levels 1 and 2 occur at the end of the reporting period in which it is determined that the observability of significant inputs has increased or decreased. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during 2014 and 2013. In January 2014, the Company acquired common shares of NSE in partial consideration of an asset sale (See "Note 2 - Divestitures and Discontinued Operations"). The significant inputs used in valuing the NSE common shares, which have a quoted market price in an active market, were designated as Level 1 as of March 31, 2014.
	The Company used the following fair value measurements for certain of the Company's assets and liabilities at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
	Level 1 Classification:
	Available for Sale Securities
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held common and preferred stock of publicly traded companies with quoted prices in an active market.  Accordingly, the fair market value measurements of these securities have been classified as Level 1.
	Level 2 Classification:
	Commodity Derivative Instruments
	The Company does not designate its derivative instruments as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.  The estimated fair value amounts of the Company’s commodity 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 commodity derivative instruments are valued using public indices, the instruments themselves are traded with unrelated counterparties and are not openly traded on an exchange. Although the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to these derivative contracts, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance and monitors the credit worthiness of its counterparties on an ongoing basis. See "Note 9 - Financial Instruments and Derivatives".
	Level 3 Classification:
	Preferred Stock Embedded Derivative
	At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had preferred stock embedded derivative liabilities resulting from certain conversion features, redemption options, and other features of its Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units. See "Note 13 - Redeemable Preferred Stock".
	The fair value of the bifurcated conversion feature was valued using the “with and without” analysis in a simulation model. The key assumptions used in the model to determine fair value at March 31, 2014 were a volatility of 25%, credit spread of 12.9%, and a total enterprise value of Eureka Hunter Holdings of $578.0 million.
	The fair value calculation is sensitive to movements in volatility and the total enterprise value of Eureka Hunter Holdings. As the implied volatility of the instruments increases so too does the fair value of the derivative liability arising from the conversion and redemption features. Similarly, as the total enterprise value of Eureka Hunter Holdings increases, the fair value of the derivative liability increases. Decreases in volatility and total enterprise value would result in a reduction to the fair value of the derivative liability associated with these instruments.
	Convertible Security Embedded Derivative
	The Company recognized an embedded derivative asset resulting from the fair value of the bifurcated conversion feature associated with the convertible note it received in February 2012 as partial consideration upon the sale of Hunter Disposal, LLC (“Hunter Disposal”) to GreenHunter Resources, Inc. ("GreenHunter"), a related party. The embedded derivative was valued using a Black-Scholes model valuation of the conversion option.
	The key inputs used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows:
		31-Mar-14
	Life	2.9 years
	Risk-free interest rate	0.96		%
	Estimated volatility	40		%
	Dividend	—
	GreenHunter stock price at end of period	$	0.96
	The sensitivity of the estimate of volatility used in determining the fair value of the convertible security embedded derivative would not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements based on the value of the assets as compared to the financial statements as a whole.
	The following tables present the fair value hierarchy levels of the Company's financial assets and liabilities which are measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis:

Equipment notes payable		Level 3		$	25,609			$	25,659		$	18,615	$	17,676
The fair value of the Company's Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices available for Magnum Hunter's Senior Notes.  The fair value hierarchy for the Company's Senior Notes is Level 2 (quoted prices for similar assets in active markets).
The carrying value of the Company's senior revolving credit facility (the “MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility") approximates fair value as it is subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to the Company for those periods.  The fair value hierarchy for the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility is Level 3.
The fair value of the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement outstanding as of March 31, 2014 approximates the carrying value as the agreement was entered into on March 28, 2014. The fair value of Eureka Hunter Pipeline's second lien term loan as of December 31, 2013 is the estimated cost to acquire the debt, including a credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate.  The credit spread is the Company’s default or repayment risk.  The credit spread (premium or discount) is determined by comparing the Company’s fixed-rate notes and credit facility to new issuances (secured and unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt.
The fair value of all fixed-rate notes and the credit facility is based on interest rates currently available to the Company.
Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As it relates to the Company, ASC Topic 820 applies to certain non-financial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a business combination and thereby measured at fair value; measurements of impairments, and the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations, for which fair value is used. These ARO estimates are derived from historical costs as well as management's expectation of future cost environments. As there is no corroborating market activity to support the assumptions used, the Company has designated these measurements as Level 3.

	Total Securities available for sale		$	2,628			$	—			$	(809	)		$	1,819
	The methods of determining the fair values of Magnum Hunter's investments in equity securities are described in "Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments".
	The Company's investment holdings are concentrated in three issuers whose business activities are related to the oil and natural gas industry. These investments are ancillary to the Company's overall operating strategy and such concentrations of risk related to investment holdings do not pose a substantial risk to the Company's operational performance. The Company evaluates factors that it believes could influence the fair value of the issuers' securities such as management, assets, earnings, cash generation, and capital needs.
	The fair values of equity securities fluctuate based upon changes in market prices. Gross unrealized losses on investments are considered for other-than-temporary impairment when such losses have persisted for more than a 12-month period. However, security specific circumstances may arise where an investment is considered impaired when gross unrealized losses have been observed for less than twelve months. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not hold any equity securities which were in a gross unrealized loss position for greater than a year, and no impairments were recognized for the periods then ended.
	Commodity and Financial Derivative Instruments
	The Company periodically enters into certain commodity derivative instruments such as futures contracts, swaps, collars, and basis swap contracts, to mitigate commodity price risk associated with a portion of the Company's future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. The Company has not designated any commodity derivative instruments as hedges.
	In a commodities swap agreement, the Company trades the fluctuating market prices of oil or natural gas at specific delivery points over a specified period, for fixed prices. As a producer of oil and natural gas, the Company holds these commodity derivatives to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of its future natural gas and crude oil sales from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices, which is intended to help reduce exposure to price risk and improve the likelihood of funding its capital budget.  If the price of a commodity rises above what the Company has agreed to receive in the swap agreement, the amount that it agrees to pay the counterparty would theoretically be offset by the increased amount it received for its production.
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company had the following commodity derivative instruments:
					Weighted Average
	Natural Gas	Period	MMBtu/day		Price per MMBtu
	Collars (1)	April 2014- Dec 2014	5,000		$4.00 - $5.25

	On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto and the agents party thereto. The Credit Agreement amended and restated that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 13, 2011, by and among such parties, as amended (the "Prior Credit Agreement"). The terms of the Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the Prior Credit Agreement.
	As of March 31, 2014, the borrowing base under this facility was $232.5 million, and $226.0 million of borrowings were outstanding ($218.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2013). On May 6, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement and the borrowing base was increased to $325.0 million. See "Note 20 - Subsequent Events". The borrowing base is subject to certain automatic reductions upon the issuance of additional Senior Notes and in certain other circumstances.
	At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants, as amended, contained in the MHR Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
	Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement
	On March 28, 2014, Eureka Hunter Pipeline entered into a credit agreement (the “Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement”), by and among Eureka Hunter Pipeline, as borrower, ABN AMRO Capital USA, LLC, as a lender and as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
	The credit agreement, which has a maturity date of March 28, 2018, provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $117.0 million (with the potential to increase the aggregate commitment under the credit agreement to an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, subject to the consent of the lender parties and the satisfaction of certain conditions), secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of Eureka Hunter Pipeline and its subsidiaries, which include TransTex Hunter, LLC, as well as by Eureka Hunter Pipeline’s pledge of the equity in its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries of Eureka Hunter Pipeline also guarantee Eureka Hunter Pipeline’s obligations under the credit agreement. The credit agreement is non-recourse to Magnum Hunter. The Company incurred deferred financing costs directly associated with entering into the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement in the amount of $1.2 million which will be amortized straight-line over the term of the revolving credit facility. The straight-line method of amortization results in substantially the same periodic amortization as the effective interest method.
	The terms of the credit agreement provide that the borrowings thereunder may be used, among other specified purposes, (1) to refinance existing indebtedness of Eureka Hunter Pipeline outstanding on the credit agreement closing date, including the term loan of $50.0 million in principal amount owed under the Second Lien Term Loan Agreement, dated August 16, 2011, by and among Eureka Hunter Pipeline and Pennant Park Investment Corporation, as a lender, the other lenders party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent, (2) to finance future expansion activities related to Eureka Hunter Pipeline’s gathering system in West Virginia and Ohio, (3) to finance acquisitions by Eureka Hunter Pipeline and its subsidiaries permitted under the terms of the credit agreement, (4) to refinance from time to time certain letters of credit of Eureka Hunter Pipeline and its subsidiaries, (5) to provide working capital for their operations, and (6) for their other general business purposes.
	The Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement provides for a commitment fee based on the unused portion of the commitment under the credit agreement of 0.50% per annum when the consolidated leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and a commitment fee of 0.375% when the consolidated leverage ratio is less than 3.0 to 1.0.
	In general terms, borrowings under the credit agreement will, at Eureka Hunter Pipeline’s election, bear interest:
	•	on base rate loans, at the per annum rate equal to the sum of (A) the base rate (defined as the highest of (i) the per annum rate of interest established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate for U.S. dollar loans, (ii) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for an interest period of one-month, plus 1.0%, or (iii) the federal funds rate, plus 0.50% per annum), and (B) a margin of 1.0% to 2.50% per annum; or
	•	on Eurodollar Loans, at the per annum rate equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) adjusted for certain statutory reserve requirements for Eurocurrency liabilities, and (B) a margin of 2.0% to 3.50% per annum.
	If an event of default occurs under the credit agreement, generally, 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.
	The credit agreement contains customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of each of Eureka Hunter Pipeline and its subsidiaries to, with certain exceptions: (1) incur indebtedness; (2) grant liens; (3) enter into hedging transactions; (4) enter into a merger or consolidation or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or the stock of any of its subsidiaries; (5) issue equity; (6) dispose of any material assets or properties; (7) pay or declare dividends or make certain distributions; (8) invest in, extend credit to or make advances or loans to any person or entity; (9) engage in material transactions with any affiliate; (10) enter into any agreement that restricts or imposes any condition upon the ability of (a) any of Eureka Hunter Pipeline or its subsidiaries to create, incur or permit any lien upon any of its assets or properties, or (b) any such subsidiary to pay dividends or other distributions, to make or repay loans or advances, to guarantee indebtedness or to transfer any of its property or assets to Eureka Hunter Pipeline or its subsidiaries; (11) change the nature of its business; (12) amend its organizational documents or material agreements; (13) change its fiscal year; (14) enter into sale and leaseback transactions; (15) make acquisitions; (16) make certain capital expenditures; or (17) take any action that could result in regulation as a utility.
	The credit agreement requires Eureka Hunter Pipeline to satisfy certain financial covenants, including maintaining:
	•	a maximum leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (i) consolidated funded debt to (ii) annualized consolidated EBITDA), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, not greater than (A) 4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014 through September 30, 2014, and (B) 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter; and
	•	a minimum interest coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of (i) annualized consolidated EBITDA to (ii) annualized consolidated interest charges for such period), as of the end of each fiscal quarter, not less than (A) 2.75to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2014 through September 30, 2014, and (B) 2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
	The obligations of Eureka Hunter Pipeline under the credit agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. Events of default include customary events for these types of financings, including, among other things, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants, the inaccuracy of representations or warranties, material defaults under or termination of certain material contracts, defaults relating to judgments, certain bankruptcy proceedings, a change in control and any material adverse change.
	As of March 31, 2014 the maximum amount available under the credit agreement was $58.7 million, and the Company had $55.0 million in borrowings outstanding. The borrowing capacity is subject to certain upward or downward reductions during the term of the credit agreement.
	As of March 31, 2014 the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants contained in the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement.
	Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Facilities
	Upon executing the new Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement on March 28, 2014, Eureka Hunter Pipeline terminated its revolving credit agreement with SunTrust Bank and the term loan agreement with Pennant Park (the "Original Eureka Hunter Credit Facilities"). Eureka Hunter Pipeline used proceeds from the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement to pay in full all outstanding obligations related to the termination of those agreements, which included the principal outstanding amount of $50.0 million, a prepayment penalty of $2.2 million, and accrued, unpaid interest of $1.5 million.
	Equipment Note Payable
	On January 21, 2014, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Alpha Hunter Drilling, LLC entered into a master loan and security agreement with CIT Finance LLC to borrow $5.6 million at an interest rate of 7.94% over a term of forty-eight months. The note is collateralized by field equipment, and the Company is a guarantor on the note.

	Basic income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income or loss per common share considers the impact to net income and common shares for the potential dilution from stock options, common stock purchase warrants and any outstanding convertible securities.
	The Company has issued potentially dilutive instruments in the form of restricted common stock of Magnum Hunter granted and not yet issued, common stock warrants, common stock options granted to the Company's employees and directors, and the Company's Series E Preferred Stock. The Company did not include any of these instruments in its calculation of diluted loss per share during the periods presented, because to include them would be anti-dilutive due to the Company's loss from continuing operations during those periods.

	NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Agreement to Purchase Utica Shale Acreage
	On August 12, 2013, Triad Hunter entered into an asset purchase agreement, with MNW Energy, LLC ("MNW"). MNW is an Ohio limited liability company that represents an informal association of various land owners, lessees and sub-lessees of mineral acreage who own or have rights in mineral acreage located in Monroe, Noble and/or Washington Counties, Ohio. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Triad Hunter has agreed to acquire from MNW up to 32,000 net mineral acres, including currently leased and subleased acreage, located in such counties, over a period of time, in staggered closings, subject to certain conditions. On December 30, 2013, a lawsuit was filed against the Company, Triad Hunter, MNW and others asserting certain claims relating to the acreage covered by the asset purchase agreement with MNW. As a result of the litigation, no purchases were made during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Settlement Agreement with Seminole Energy Services
	On January 10, 2014, the company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Omnibus Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") dated January 9, 2014 with Seminole Energy Services, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Seminole"). In connection with and pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company and Seminole have agreed to release and discharge each other from all claims and causes of action alleged in, arising from or related to certain legal proceedings and to terminate, amend and enter into certain new, related agreements effective immediately prior to year-end on December 31, 2013 (the "New Agreements").
	By entering into the New Agreements, the Company and Seminole have restructured their existing agreements. The Company obtained a reduction in gas gathering rates it pays for natural gas owned or controlled by the Company that is gathered on the Stone Mountain Gathering System. The Company and Seminole collectively agreed to construct an enhancement of the Rogersville Plant designed to recover less ethane and more propane from the natural gas processed at the Rogersville Plant and reduce and extend the Company's contractual horizontal well drilling obligations owed to Seminole. The Company and Seminole have also agreed to modify the natural gas processing rates the Company will pay for processing at the Rogersville Plant, the Company's allocation of natural gas liquids ("NGL") recovered from gas processed and the costs of blend stock necessary to blend with the NGL produced from the Rogersville Plant, and certain deductions to the NGL purchase price the Company will pay Seminole for the Company's NGL produced from the Rogersville Plant. Seminole sold to the Company Seminole's 50% interest in a natural gas gathering trunk line and treatment facility located in southwestern Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, which had previously been owned equally by Seminole and the Company.
	As a result of the restructuring effected by the Settlement Agreement, the Company expects to realize operational savings, certain components of which savings would occur over time, depending on the implementation timing or completion of certain of the benefits provided to the Company.
	Legal Proceedings
	Securities Cases
	On April 23, 2013, Anthony Rosian, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, against the Company and certain of its officers, two of whom, at that time, also served as directors, and one of whom continues to serve as a director. On April 24, 2013, Horace Carvalho, individually and on behalf of all other persons similarly situated, filed a similar class action complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, against the Company and certain of its officers. Several substantially similar putative class actions have been filed in the Southern District of New York and in the Southern District of Texas. All such cases are collectively referred to as the Securities Cases. The cases filed in the Southern District of Texas have since been dismissed, but the cases in the Southern District of New York have been consolidated and remain ongoing. The plaintiffs in the Securities Cases have filed a consolidated amended complaint alleging that the Company made certain false or misleading statements in its filings with the SEC, including statements related to the Company's internal and financial controls, the calculation of non-cash share-based compensation expense, the late filing of the Company's 2012 Form 10-K, the dismissal of Magnum Hunter's previous independent registered accounting firm, the Company’s characterization of the auditors’ position with respect to the dismissal, and other matters identified in the Company's April 16, 2013 Form 8-K, as amended. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act based on alleged false statements made regarding these issues throughout the alleged class period, as well as claims under Sections 11, 12, and 15 of the Securities Act based on alleged false statements and omissions regarding the Company’s internal controls made in connection with a public offering that Magnum Hunter completed on May 14, 2012. The consolidated amended complaint demands that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the class action plaintiffs, including damages allegedly caused by the decline in the Company's stock price between February 22, 2013 and April 22, 2013. In January 2014, the Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Securities Cases, which is pending for decision. The Company and the individual defendants intend to vigorously defend the Securities Cases. It is possible that additional investor lawsuits could be filed over these events.
	On May 10, 2013, Steven Handshu filed a stockholder derivative suit in the 151st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas on behalf of the Company against the Company's directors and senior officers. On June 6, 2013, Zachariah Hanft filed another stockholder derivative suit in the Southern District of New York on behalf of the Company against the Company's directors and senior officers. On June 18, 2013, Mark Respler filed another stockholder derivative suit in the District of Delaware on behalf of the Company against the Company's directors and senior officers. On June 27, 2013, Timothy Bassett filed another stockholder derivative suit in the Southern District of Texas on behalf of the Company against the Company's directors and senior officers. On September 16, 2013, the Southern District of Texas allowed Joseph Vitellone to substitute for Mr. Bassett as plaintiff in that action. On March 19, 2014 Richard Harveth filed another stockholder derivative suit in the 125th District Court of Harris County, Texas.  These suits are collectively referred to as the Derivative Cases. The Derivative Cases assert that the individual defendants unjustly enriched themselves and breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by publishing allegedly false and misleading statements to the Company's investors regarding the Company's business and financial position and results, and allegedly failing to maintain adequate internal controls. The complaints demand that the defendants pay unspecified damages to the Company, including damages allegedly sustained by the Company as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the defendants, as well as disgorgement of profits and benefits obtained by the defendants, and reasonable attorneys', accountants' and experts' fees and costs to the plaintiff. On December 20, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the stockholder derivative case maintained by Joseph Vitellone and entered a final judgment of dismissal. The court held that Mr. Vitellone failed to plead particularized facts demonstrating that pre-suit demand on the Company’s board was excused. In addition, on December 13, 2013, the 151st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas dismissed the lawsuit filed by Steven Handshu for want of prosecution after the plaintiff failed to serve any defendant in that matter. On January 21, 2014, the Hanft complaint was dismissed with prejudice after the plaintiff in that action filed a voluntary motion for dismissal. On February 18, 2014, the United States District Judge for the District of Delaware granted the Company’s supplemental motion to dismiss the Derivative Case filed by Mark Respler. All of the Derivative Cases have now been dismissed except the Derivative Case filed by Richard Harveth, although it is possible that additional stockholder derivative suits could be filed over these events.
	In addition, the Company has received several demand letters from stockholders seeking books and records relating to the allegations in the Securities Cases and the Derivative Cases under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On September 17, 2013, Anthony Scavo, who is one of the stockholders that made a demand, filed a books and records action in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Scavo Action”). The Scavo Action seeks various books and records relating to the claims in the Securities Cases and the Derivative Cases, as well as costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company has filed an answer in the Scavo Action. It is possible that additional similar actions may be filed and that similar stockholder demands could be made.
	The Company also received an April 26, 2013 letter from the SEC stating that the SEC's Division of Enforcement was conducting an inquiry regarding the Company's internal controls, change in outside auditors and public statements to investors and asking the Company to preserve documents relating to these matters. The Company is complying with this request. On December 30, 2013, the Company received a document subpoena relating to the issues identified in the April 26, 2013 letter, and the SEC has also issued subpoenas for testimony and has taken testimony from certain individuals. The Company intends to cooperate with the subpoenas.
	Any potential liability from these claims cannot currently be estimated.
	We are also a defendant in several other lawsuits that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any of these to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
	Twin Hickory Matter
	On April 11, 2013, a flash fire occurred at Eureka Hunter Pipeline’s Twin Hickory site located in Tyler County, West Virginia. The incident occurred during a pigging operation at a natural gas receiving station. Two employees of third-party contractors received fatal injuries. Another employee of a third-party contractor was injured.
	In mid-February 2014, the estate of one of the deceased third-party contractor employees sued Eureka Hunter Pipeline and certain other parties in Karen S. Phipps v. Eureka Hunter Pipeline, LLC et al., Civil Action No. 14-C-41, in the Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia. In April 2014, the estate of the other descendant third-party contractor employee sued the Company, Eureka Hunter Pipeline and certain other parties in Antoinette M. Miller v. Magnum Hunter Resources Corporation et al, Civil Action No. 14-C-111, in the Circuit Court of Ohio County, West Virginia. The plaintiffs allege that Eureka Hunter Pipeline and the other defendants engaged in certain negligent and reckless conduct which resulted in the wrongful death of the third-party contractor employees. The plaintiffs have demanded judgment for an unspecified amount of compensatory, general and punitive damages. Various cross-claims have been asserted. A pre-suit settlement demand has also been received from the injured individual. Investigation regarding the incident is ongoing. It is not possible to predict at this juncture the extent to which, if at all, Eureka Hunter Pipeline or any related entities will incur liability or damages because of this incident. However, the Company believes that its insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover any losses or liabilities it may incur as a result of this incident.
	PRC Williston Matter
	On December 16, 2013, Drawbridge Special Opportunities Fund LP and Fortress Value Recovery Fund I LLC f/k/a D.B. Zwirn Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. (together, the “Plaintiffs”) filed suit against PRC Williston in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. PRC Williston and the Plaintiffs entered into Participation Agreements in February 2007 in connection with the Plaintiffs extending credit to PRC Williston pursuant to a credit agreement entitling the Plaintiffs to a 12.5% collective interest in any distributions in respect of the equity interests of the members of PRC Williston. Plaintiffs claim that they are entitled to compensation for 12.5% of alleged past distributions on equity from PRC Williston to Magnum Hunter and 12.5% of any transfers of funds to Magnum Hunter from the proceeds of the December 30, 2013 sale of PRC Williston’s assets. On December 23, 2013, the Chancery Court entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting PRC Williston from transferring, assigning, removing, distributing or otherwise displacing to Magnum Hunter, Magnum Hunter’s creditors, or any other person or entity, $5.0 million of the proceeds received by PRC Williston in connection with the sale of its assets. The Court also granted Plaintiffs’ motion for expedited proceedings, ordering expedited discovery and a hearing within 90 days on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. On March 18, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction, extending the relief granted by the temporary restraining order until after a full trial on the merits. The Court has not set a trial date or any pre-trial deadlines. PRC Williston believes the claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

	On April 10, 2014, WHI Canada closed on the sale of certain oil and natural gas properties and assets located in Alberta, Canada for cash consideration of CAD $9.5 million in cash (approximately U.S. $8.7 million at the exchange rate as of the close of business on April 10, 2014). The effective date of the sale was January 1, 2014.
	Issuance of Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units
	On April 14, 2014, Eureka Hunter Holdings issued 410,000 Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units to Ridgeline for proceeds of $8.0 million net of transaction costs. This transaction completed Ridgeline's commitment to purchase up to $200 million of Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units under the Unit Purchase Agreement. As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Eureka Hunter Holdings Series A Preferred Units outstanding represented 42.98% of the ownership of Eureka Hunter Holdings on a basis as converted to Class A Common Units of Eureka Hunter Holdings.
	Additional Borrowing under the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement
	On April 17, 2014, Eureka Hunter Pipeline borrowed an additional $10.0 million under the Eureka Hunter Pipeline Credit Agreement. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the balance outstanding was $65.0 million.
	Sale of WHI Canada
	On April 21, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a Canadian private company to sell 100% of its ownership interest in the Company's Canadian subsidiary, WHI Canada, whose assets consist primarily of oil and natural gas properties located in the Tableland Field in Saskatchewan, Canada, for a purchase price of CAD $75.0 million (approximately U.S. $67.5 million at the exchange rate as of the close of business on April 21, 2014), subject to customary purchase price adjustments with an effective date of March 1, 2014. The transaction is expected to close in May, 2014.
	Amendment to Credit Agreement
	On May 6, 2014 the Company executed an amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2013 (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, the lenders party thereto and the agents party thereto.
	With the execution of the Amendment, the borrowing base was increased from $232.5 million to $325.0 million in connection with the regular semi‑annual redetermination of the Company’s borrowing base derived from the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. The borrowing base may be increased or decreased in connection with such redeterminations up to a maximum commitment level of $750.0 million.
	In connection with the borrowing base increase, the Company and the other parties to the Credit Agreement entered into the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2014 (the "Amendment"). The Amendment increases the borrowing base to $325.0 million and provides that such increased borrowing base shall be reduced (i) by the lesser of $25.0 million or 50% of the net proceeds from issuances by the Company of common equity on or before July 1, 2014 (other than common equity issued pursuant to any stock incentive or stock option plan or any other compensatory arrangements); (ii) by certain specified reductions in connection with certain proposed asset dispositions; (iii) on July 1, 2014 by $25.0 million less any prior adjustment of the borrowing base due to an equity issuance as contemplated by clause (i); and (iv) by $0.25 for each $1.00 of any Senior Notes issued by the Company. The Amendment further provides that from May 6, 2014 through July 1, 2014 the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) component of the interest charged on revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement shall be 2.75% for ABR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 3.75% for Eurodollar Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). From and after July 1, 2014 through the date of the Company’s delivery of a certificate for the quarter ending June 30, 2014, with respect to, among other things, the Company’s compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement (the “Compliance Certificate”), the Applicable Margin component of interest charged on revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement will range from 1.50% to 2.25% for ABR Loans and from 2.50% to 3.25% for Eurodollar Loans. From and after the Company’s delivery of the Compliance Certificate, the Applicable Margin component of interest charged on revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement will range from 1.00% to 1.75% for ABR Loans and from 2.00% to 2.75% for Eurodollar Loans.
	In addition, the Amendment modified certain of the Credit Agreement’s financial covenants, including:
	(i)	permitting the Company to take into account the borrowing base increase as though it occurred on March 31, 2014 for purposes of maintaining a ratio of consolidated current assets to consolidated current liabilities of not less than 1.0 to 1.0;
	(ii)	providing for a ratio of EBITDAX to Interest Expense of not more than (A) 2.00 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, (B) 2.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, and (C) 2.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 and for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter; and
	(iii)	beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2014, providing for a ratio of total Debt to EBITDAX of not more than (A) 4.75 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014, (B) 4.50 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2014, and (C) 4.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2015 and for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
	The Amendment also (i) amends the definition of EBITDAX and provides that certain acquisitions and dispositions be given pro forma effect in the calculation of EBITDAX; (ii) increases the letter of credit commitment from $10.0 million to $50.0 million and provides that outstanding letter of credit exposure not be included in certain determinations of Debt; (iii) requires the total value of the Company’s oil and gas properties included in the reserve reports for the borrowing base determinations in which the lenders under the Credit Agreement have perfected liens be increased from 80% to 90%; and (iv) modifies certain covenants in the Credit Agreement with respect to permitted investments by the Company to increase flexibility.

Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
