These financial statements 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).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
Note A.Organization and nature of operations
Concho Resources Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation formed on February 22, 2006. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition, development and exploration of oil and natural gas properties primarily located in the Permian Basin region of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas.
Note B.Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation.The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. A third-party formed an entity to effectuate a tax-free exchange of assets for the Company. The Company has 100 percent control over the decisions of the entity, but has no current direct ownership. The third-party will convey ownership to the Company upon completion of the tax-free exchange process. As a result of the Company’s control over the entity it has been consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Discontinued operations.In December 2010 and March 2011, the Company sold its interests in certain non-core Permian Basin and Bakken assets, respectively. As a result, the Company has reflected the results of operations of these divested assets as discontinued operations, rather than as a component of continuing operations. See Note O for additional information regarding this divestiture and its discontinued operations.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements.Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties are determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves and commodity price outlooks. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the asset retirement obligations, fair value of derivative financial instruments, purchase price allocations for business and oil and natural gas property acquisitions and fair value of stock-based compensation.
Cash equivalents.The Company considers all cash on hand, depository accounts held by banks, money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in a few financial institutions in amounts that exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. However, management believes that the Company’s counterparty risks are minimal based on the reputation and history of the institutions selected.
Accounts receivable.The Company sells oil and natural gas to various customers and participates with other parties in the drilling, completion and operation of oil and natural gas wells. Joint interest and oil and natural gas sales receivables related to these operations are generally unsecured. The Company determines joint interest operations accounts receivable allowances based on management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the joint interest owners and the Company’s ability to realize the receivables through netting of anticipated future production revenues. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The Company had an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.3 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company wrote off $2.0 million in receivables against the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowed for additional bed debt of approximately $0.9 million during 2010.
Inventory.Inventory consists primarily of tubular goods and other oilfield goods that the Company plans to utilize in its ongoing exploration and development activities and is carried at the lower of cost or market value, on a weighted average cost basis.
Deferred loan costs.Deferred loan costs are stated at cost, net of amortization, which is computed using the effective interest and straight-line methods. The Company had deferred loan costs of $52.8 million and $20.7 million, net of accumulated amortization of $15.2 million and $8.6 million, at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Oil and natural gas properties.The Company utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Under this method all costs associated with productive wells and nonproductive development wells are capitalized, while nonproductive exploration costs are expensed. Capitalized acquisition costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. The depletion of capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs is based on the unit-of-production method using proved developed reserves on a field basis.
The Company generally does not carry the costs of drilling an exploratory well as an asset in its consolidated balance sheets for more than one year following the completion of drilling unless the exploratory well finds oil and natural gas reserves in an area requiring a major capital expenditure and both of the following conditions are met:
(i) | the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well; and | ||
(ii) | the Company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. |
Due to the capital intensive nature and the geographical location of certain projects, it may take the Company longer than one year to evaluate the future potential of the exploration well and economics associated with making a determination on its commercial viability. In these instances, the project’s feasibility is not contingent upon price improvements or advances in technology, but rather the Company’s ongoing efforts and expenditures related to accurately predicting the hydrocarbon recoverability based on well information, gaining access to other companies’ production, transportation or processing facilities and/or getting partner approval to drill additional appraisal wells. These activities are ongoing and being pursued constantly. Consequently, the Company’s assessment of suspended exploratory well costs is continuous until a decision can be made that the well has found proved reserves or is noncommercial and is charged to exploration and abandonments expense. See Note C for additional information regarding the Company’s suspended exploratory well costs.
Proceeds from the sales of individual properties and the capitalized costs of individual properties sold or abandoned are credited and charged, respectively, to accumulated depletion. Generally, no gain or loss is recognized until the entire amortization base is sold. However, gain or loss is recognized from the sale of less than an entire amortization base if the disposition is significant enough to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the amortization base. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Costs of significant nonproducing properties, wells in the process of being drilled and completed and development projects are excluded from depletion until such time as the related project is developed and proved reserves are established or impairment is determined. The Company capitalizes interest, if debt is outstanding, on expenditures for significant development projects until such projects are ready for their intended use. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had excluded $80.6 million and $30.9 million, respectively, of capitalized costs from depletion and had capitalized interest of $0.2 million, $0.07 million and $1.2 million, during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties by amortization base or by individual well for those wells not constituting part of an amortization base. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair value (discounted future cash flows) of the properties would be recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs. The Company recognized impairment expense from continuing and discontinued operations of $15.2 million, $12.2 million and $18.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily related to its proved oil and natural gas properties.
Unproved oil and natural gas properties are each periodically assessed for impairment by considering future drilling plans, the results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales or expiration of all or a portion of such projects. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized expense from continuing and discontinued operations of $7.6 million, $5.1 million and $31.6 million, respectively, related to abandoned prospects, which is included in exploration and abandonments expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Other property and equipment.Other capital assets include buildings, vehicles, computer equipment and software, telecommunications equipment, leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures. These items are recorded at cost, or fair value if acquired, and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on expected lives of the individual assets or group of assets ranging from two to 31 years.
Intangible assets.The Company has capitalized certain operating rights acquired in an acquisition. The gross operating rights of approximately $38.7 million and related accumulated amortization of $3.7 million at December 31, 2010, which have no residual value, are amortized over the estimated economic life of approximately 25 years. Impairment will be assessed if indicators of potential impairment exist or when there is a material change in the remaining useful economic life. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The following table reflects the estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the periods presented below:

Environmental.The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are often changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments is fixed and readily determinable. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has accrued approximately $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to environmental liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recognized environmental charges of $3.0 million, $2.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Oil and natural gas sales and imbalances.Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded at the time of delivery of such products to pipelines for the account of the purchaser or at the time of physical transfer of such products to the purchaser. The Company follows

the sales method of accounting for oil and natural gas sales, recognizing revenues based on the Company’s share of actual proceeds from the oil and natural gas sold to purchasers. Oil and natural gas imbalances are generated on properties for which two or more owners have the right to take production “in-kind” and, in doing so, take more or less than their respective entitled percentage. Imbalances are tracked by well, but the Company does not record any receivable from or payable to the other owners unless the imbalance has reached a level at which it exceeds the remaining reserves in the respective well. If reserves are insufficient to offset the imbalance and the Company is in an overtake position, a liability is recorded for the amount of shortfall in reserves valued at a contract price or the market price in effect at the time the imbalance is generated. If the Company is in an undertake position, a receivable is recorded for an amount that is reasonably expected to be received, not to exceed the current market value of such imbalance.
The following table reflects the Company’s natural gas imbalance positions at December 31, 2010 and 2009 as well as amounts reflected in oil and natural gas production expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Derivative instruments and hedging.The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company netted the fair value of derivative instruments by counterparty in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets where the right of offset exists.
The Company may designate a derivative instrument as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk (a “fair value hedge”) or as hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk (a “cash flow hedge”). Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows the effective portion of a derivative instrument’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the statement of operations and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a hedge must be expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the underlying risk being hedged. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective as a hedge, it discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in current earnings. The amount already reflected in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) remains there until the hedged item affects earnings or it is probable that the hedged item will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period or within two months thereafter. The Company assesses and measures hedge effectiveness at the end of each quarter.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are fair value hedges are offset against changes in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments, through earnings. Effective changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges are recognized in AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings.

December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008
Ineffective portions of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value are immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative instruments that do not qualify, or cease to qualify, as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the adjustments are recorded through earnings. The Company did not have any derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.
Asset retirement obligations.The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequently, the asset retirement cost included in the carrying amount of the related asset is allocated to expense through depreciation of the asset. Changes in the liability due to passage of time are generally recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as corresponding accretion expense.
Treasury stock.Treasury stock purchases are recorded at cost. Upon reissuance, the cost of treasury shares held is reduced by the average purchase price per share of the aggregate treasury shares held.
General and administrative expense. The Company receives fees for the operation of jointly owned oil and natural gas properties and records such reimbursements as reductions of general and administrative expense. Such fees from continuing and discontinued operations totaled approximately $14.4 million, $11.4 million and $4.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Stock-based compensation.From time to time, the Company exchanges its equity instruments for services provided by employees and directors that are based on the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments in exchange for the services. The cost of the services received in exchange for equity instruments, including stock options, is measured based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments. That cost is recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). Generally, no compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments that do not vest.
Income taxes.The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized.
The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions for recognition and measurement in the consolidated financial statements. To recognize a tax position, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of tax benefit recognized with respect to any tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Any interest or penalties would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
Business combinations.In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an update in order to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations.
The update requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.

In practice, some preparers have presented the pro forma information in their comparative financial statements as if the business combination that occurred in the current reporting period had occurred as of the beginning of each of the current and prior annual reporting periods. Other preparers have disclosed the pro forma information as if the business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual reporting period only, and carried forward the related adjustments, if applicable, through the current reporting period. The Company early adopted the update effective January 1, 2010, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Various topics.In February 2010, the FASB issued an update to various topics, which eliminated outdated provisions and inconsistencies in the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”), and clarified certain guidance to reflect the FASB’s original intent. The update is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance of the update, except for the amendments affecting embedded derivatives and reorganizations. In addition to amending the Codification, the FASB made corresponding changes to the legacy accounting literature to facilitate historical research. These changes are included in an appendix to the update. The Company adopted the update effective January 1, 2010, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for extractive activities.In April 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to a paragraph in the accounting standard for oil and natural gas extractive activities accounting. The standard adds to the Codification the SEC’sModernization of Oil and Gas Reportingrelease. The Company adopted the update effective April 20, 2010, and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Note C.Exploratory well costs
The Company capitalizes exploratory well costs until a determination is made that the well has either found proved reserves or that it is impaired. The capitalized exploratory well costs are presented in unproved properties in the consolidated balance sheets. If the exploratory well is determined to be impaired, the well costs are charged to expense.

Note D.Acquisitions and business combinations
Marbob and Settlement Acquisitions.In July 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain of the oil and natural gas leases, interests, properties and related assets owned by Marbob Energy Corporation and its affiliates (collectively, “Marbob”) for aggregate consideration of (i) cash in the amount of $1.45 billion, (ii) the issuance to Marbob of $150 million 8.0% unsecured senior note due 2018 and (iii) the issuance to Marbob of approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to purchase price adjustments, which included downward purchase price adjustments based on the exercise of third parties of contractual preferential purchase rights in properties to be acquired from Marbob (“Marbob Acquisition”).
On October 7, 2010, the Company closed the Marbob Acquisition. At closing, the Company paid approximately $1.1 billion in cash plus the unsecured senior note and common stock described above for a total purchase price of approximately $1.4 billion. The total purchase price as originally announced was reduced due to third party contractual preferential purchase rights in the Marbob properties. Certain of the third parties contractual preferential purchase rights became subject to litigation, as discussed below.
The Company funded the cash consideration in the Marbob Acquisition with (a) borrowings under its credit facility and (b) net proceeds of $292.7 million from a private placement of approximately 6.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $45.30 per share that closed on October 7, 2010.
Certain of the Marbob interests in properties contained contractual preferential purchase rights by third parties if Marbob were to sell them. Marbob informed the Company of its receipt of a notice from BP America Production Company (“BP”) electing to exercise its contractual preferential purchase rights in certain of Marbob’s properties as a result of the Marbob Acquisition.
On July 20, 2010, BP announced it was selling all its assets in the Permian Basin to a subsidiary of Apache Corporation (“Apache”). Marbob and BP owned common interests in certain properties subject to contractual preferential purchase rights. BP and Apache contested Marbob’s ability to exercise its contractual preferential purchase rights in this situation. As a result, Marbob and the Company filed suit against BP and Apache seeking declaratory judgment and injunctive relief to protect Marbob’s contractual right to have the option to purchase these interests in these common properties.
On October 15, 2010, the Company and Marbob resolved the litigation with BP and Apache related to the disputed contractual preferential purchase rights. As a result of the settlement, the Company acquired a non-operated interest in substantially all of the oil and natural gas assets subject to the litigation for approximately $286 million in cash (the “Settlement Acquisition”). The Company funded the Settlement Acquisition with borrowings under our credit facility.
The results of operations of the Marbob and Settlement Acquisitions are included in the Company’s results of operations since their respective closing dates in October 2010.

Private placement of common stock.In October 2010, the Company closed the private placement of its common stock, simultaneously with the closing of the Marbob Acquisition, on 6.6 million shares of our common stock at a price of $45.30 per share for net proceeds of approximately $292.7 million.
In July 2008, we closed the private placement of our common stock, simultaneously with the closing of the Henry Entities acquisition, on 8.3 million shares of our common stock at a price of $30.11 per share for net proceeds of approximately $242.4 million.
Treasury stock.The restrictions on certain restricted stock awards issued to certain of the Company’s officers lapsed during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. Immediately upon the lapse of restrictions, these officers and key employees became liable for income taxes on the value of such shares. In accordance with the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and the applicable restricted stock award agreements, some of such officers and key employees elected to deliver shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company in exchange for cash used to satisfy such tax liability. In total, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had acquired 31,963 and 12,380 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, that are held as treasury stock in the approximate amount of $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Note G.Incentive plans
Defined contribution plan.The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for the benefit of substantially all employees. The Company matches 100 percent of employee contributions, not to exceed 6 percent of the employee’s annual salary. The Company contributions to the plans for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $0.7 million, $1.0 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

(a) | The year ended December 31, 2009 includes effects of modifications to certain stock-based awards, see further discussion below. |
In calculating the compensation expense for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company estimated the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Assumptions utilized in the model are shown below.
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.47 | % | 3.18 | % | ||||
Expected term (years) | 6.25 | 6.21 | ||||||
Expected volatility | 63.19 | % | 38.88 | % | ||||
Expected dividend yield | - | - | ||||||
The Company used the simplified method that is accepted by the SEC staff to calculate the expected term for stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, since it did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its shares of common stock have been publicly traded. Expected volatilities are based on a combination of historical and implied volatilities of comparable companies.
Modification of stock-based awards.David W. Copeland, the Company’s former Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, retired December 31, 2010. Mr. Copeland stepped down from such positions on November 5, 2009, but remained with the Company as Senior Counsel until his retirement. As part of Mr. Copeland’s retirement agreement, all of Mr. Copeland’s stock-based awards were modified to permit full vesting on his retirement date. As a result of this modification, the Company (i) recognized approximately $0.5 million of stock-based compensation and a reduction of approximately $5,000 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and (ii) will recognize a reduction in stock-based compensation of approximately $0.1 million in future periods.

Steven L. Beal, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer, retired from such positions on June 30, 2009. Mr. Beal began serving as a consultant on July 1, 2009; see Note N. As part of the consulting agreement, certain of Mr. Beal’s stock-based awards were modified to permit vesting and exercise under the original terms of the stock-based awards as if Mr. Beal was still an employee of the Company while he is performing consulting services for the Company. As a result of this modification, the Company (i) recognized approximately $0.7 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and (ii) will recognize additional stock-based compensation of approximately $0.2 million in future periods.
On November 8, 2007, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved amendments to certain outstanding agreements related to options to purchase the Company’s common stock that were previously awarded to certain of the Company’s executive officers and employees in order to amend such award agreements so that the subject stock option award would constitute deferred compensation that is compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or exempt from the application of Section 409A. As the offer to amend outstanding stock option agreements previously issued to certain of the Company’s employees may constitute a tender offer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, on November 8, 2007, the board of directors of the Company authorized commencement of a tender offer to amend the applicable outstanding stock option award agreements in the form approved by the compensation committee.
Generally, the amendments provide that the employee stock options, which had previously vested in connection with a past business combination, will become exercisable in 25 percent increments over a four year period beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2011 or upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Employees who decided to amend their stock option award agreement received a cash payment equal to $0.50 for each share of common stock subject to the amendment on January 2, 2008. The Company made aggregate cash payments of approximately $192,000 to such employees. The Company’s affected executive officers received and accepted a similar offer to amend their stock option awards issued prior to a past business combination on substantially the same terms, except such officers were not offered the $0.50 per share payment.
In addition, the Company’s executive officers received stock option awards in June 2006 to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, at a purchase price of $12.00 per share. The Company subsequently determined that the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of the award was $15.40. As a result, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors authorized and approved an amendment to these stock option award agreements pursuant to which the exercise price of such stock options would be increased from $12.00 per share to $15.40 per share. The Company agreed to issue to the executive officer an award of the number of shares of restricted stock equal to (i) the product of $3.40 and the number of shares of common stock subject to the stock option award, divided by (ii) the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of the award of restricted stock.
The Company has determined that its aggregate compensation expense resulting from these modifications of approximately $0.8 million would be recorded during the period from November 8, 2007 to December 31, 2007 and during the years ending December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Note H.Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
The Company uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following fair value input hierarchy:
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets to be those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | ||
Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Level 2 instruments primarily include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swaps, basis swaps, investments and interest rate swaps. The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) time value and (iii) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. The Company utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its prices and valuation techniques. | ||
Level 3: | Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments primarily include derivative instruments, such as commodity price collars and floors, as well as investments. The Company’s valuation models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various inputs including: (i) quoted forward prices for commodities, (ii) time value, (iii) volatility factors and (iv) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Although the Company utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of our prices and valuation techniques, the Company does not have sufficient corroborating market evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2. |

Derivative instruments.The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are estimated by management considering various factors, including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations and the time value of the underlying commitments. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table (i) summarizes the valuation of each of the Company’s financial instruments by required pricing levels and (ii) summarizes the gross fair value by the appropriate balance sheet classification, even when the derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Impairments of long-lived assets –The Company reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved oil and natural gas properties, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties by amortization base or by individual well for those wells not constituting part of an amortization base. For each property determined to be impaired, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying value of the properties and the estimated fair value (discounted future cash flows) of the properties would be recognized at that time. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of judgments, including estimation of the proved and unproved oil and natural gas reserve quantities, timing of development and production, expected future commodity prices, capital expenditures and production costs.
The Company periodically reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties that are sensitive to oil and natural gas prices for impairment. Impairment expense is caused primarily due to declines in commodity prices and well performance. The following table reports the carrying amounts, estimated fair values and impairment expense of long-lived assets for continuing and discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

Asset retirement obligations –The Company estimates the fair value of Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate to be used; and inflation rates. See Note E for a summary of changes in AROs.

Note I.Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial contracts to manage exposures to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations. Commodity hedges are used to (i) reduce the effect of the volatility of price changes on the oil and natural gas the Company produces and sells, (ii) support the Company’s capital budget and expenditure plans and (iii) support the economics associated with acquisitions. Interest rate hedges are used to mitigate the cash flow risk associated with rising interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company also may enter into physical delivery contracts to effectively provide commodity price hedges. Because these contracts are not expected to be net cash settled, they are considered to be normal sales contracts and not derivatives. Therefore, these contracts are not recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Currently, the Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company reflects changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments in its statements of operations as they occur. All of the Company’s remaining hedges that historically qualified for hedge accounting or were dedesignated from hedge accounting were settled in 2008.
During 2007, the Company determined that all of its natural gas commodity contracts no longer qualified as hedges (referred to as “dedesignated cash flow hedges”). The Company discontinued hedge accounting from then forward for all derivative contracts.

Interest rate derivative contracts.During 2008, the Company entered into interest rate derivative contracts to hedge a portion of its future interest rate exposure. The Company hedged its LIBOR interest rate on the Company’s bank debt by fixing the rate at 1.90 percent for three years beginning in May of 2009 on $300 million of the Company’s bank debt. The interest rate derivative contracts were not designated as cash flow hedges.
The Company’s reported oil and natural gas revenue includes the effects of oil quality and Btu content, gathering and transportation costs, natural gas processing and shrinkage, and the net effect of the commodity hedges that qualified for cash flow hedge accounting. The following table summarizes the gains and losses reported in earnings related to the commodity and interest rate derivative instruments and the net change in AOCI for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

Credit facility.The Company’s credit facility, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), has a maturity date of July 31, 2013. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company’s borrowing base is $2.0 billion until the next scheduled borrowing base redetermination in April 2011. Between scheduled borrowing base redeterminations, the Company and, if requested by 66 2/3 percent of the lenders, the lenders, may each request one special redetermination.
Advances on the Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, based on (i) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPM Prime Rate”) (3.25 percent at December 31, 2010) or (ii) a Eurodollar rate (substantially equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate). At December 31, 2010, the interest rates of Eurodollar rate advances and JPM Prime Rate advances varied, with interest margins ranging from 200 to 300 basis points and 112.5 to 212.5 basis points, respectively, per annum depending on the debt balance outstanding. At December 31, 2010, the Company paid commitment fees on the unused portion of the available borrowing base of 50 basis points per annum.

The Credit Facility also includes a same-day advance facility under which the Company may borrow funds from the administrative agent. Same-day advances cannot exceed $25 million, and the maturity dates cannot exceed fourteen days. The interest rate on this facility is the JPM Prime Rate plus the applicable interest margin.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first lien on substantially all of its oil and natural gas properties. In addition, all of the Company’s subsidiaries are guarantors and have been pledged to secure borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants and compliance requirements which include:
• | maintenance of certain financial ratios, including (i) maintenance of a quarterly ratio of total debt to consolidated earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, and amortization, exploration expense and other noncash income and expenses to be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0, and (ii) maintenance of a ratio of current assets to current liabilities, excluding noncash assets and liabilities related to financial derivatives and asset retirement obligations and including the unfunded amounts under the Credit Facility, to be not less than 1.0 to 1.0; | ||
• | limits on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and certain types of liens; | ||
• | restrictions as to mergers, combinations and dispositions of assets; and | ||
• | restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. |
At December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Facility.

Legal actions.The Company is a party to proceedings and claims incidental to its business.

The Company will continue to evaluate proceedings and claims involving the Company on a quarter-by-quarter basis and will establish and adjust any reserves as appropriate to reflect its assessment of the then current status of the matters.
Daywork commitments.The Company periodically enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company is committed to expend funds to drill wells in the future, including agreements to secure drilling rig services, which require the Company to make future minimum payments to the rig operators.

Note L.Income taxes
The Company uses an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The Company’s objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize (i) the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. The Company and its subsidiaries file a federal corporate income tax return on a consolidated basis. The tax returns and the amount of taxable income or loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.
The Company continually assesses both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Management monitors company-specific, oil and natural gas industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and other deferred tax attributes in the United States, state, and local tax jurisdictions will be utilized prior to their expiration. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no valuation allowances related to its deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements. The tax years 2005 through 2009 remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions.
Income tax provision.The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) and amounts separately allocated were attributable to the following items for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

Note M.Major customers and derivative counterparties
Sales to major customers.The Company’s share of oil and natural gas production is sold to various purchasers. The Company is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to sell its oil and natural gas production.
The following purchasers individually accounted for ten percent or more of the consolidated oil and natural gas revenues, including the revenues from discontinued operations and the results of commodity hedges, during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

At December 31, 2010, the Company had receivables from Navajo Refining Company, L.P., ConocoPhillips Company, DCP Midstream, LP and Plains Marketing and Transportation Inc. of $38.6 million, $25.0 million, $15.7 million and $9.3 million, respectively, which are reflected in Accounts receivable — oil and natural gas in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
Derivative counterparties.The Company uses credit and other financial criteria to evaluate the credit standing of, and to select, counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company’s credit facility agreements require that the senior unsecured debt ratings of the Company’s derivative counterparties be (i) not less than either A- by Standard & Poor’s Rating Group rating system or A3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. rating system or (ii) a lender to the Company’s credit facility. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the counterparties with whom the Company had outstanding derivative contracts met or exceeded the required ratings. Although the Company does not obtain collateral or otherwise secure the fair value of its derivative instruments, management believes the associated credit risk is mitigated by the Company’s credit risk policies and procedures and by the credit rating requirements of the Company’s credit facility agreements.

Note P.Net income (loss) per share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares treated as outstanding for the period.
The computation of diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock that are dilutive to income (loss) were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the Company. These amounts include unexercised capital options, stock options and restricted stock. Potentially dilutive effects are calculated using the treasury stock method.
The following table is a reconciliation of the basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008:
Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
(in thousands) | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | |||||||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding: | ||||||||||||
Basic | 92,542 | 84,912 | 79,206 | |||||||||
Dilutive common stock options | 900 | - | 1,140 | |||||||||
Dilutive restricted stock | 395 | - | 241 | |||||||||
Diluted | 93,837 | 84,912 | 80,587 | |||||||||
Because the exercise prices of certain incentive stock options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and would be anti-dilutive, stock options to purchase 469 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2010, were outstanding but not included in the computations of diluted income per share from continuing operations. Also excluded from the computation of diluted income per share for the year ended December 31, 2010, were 6,659 shares of restricted stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
In 2009, the Company incurred a net loss; accordingly, all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive and not included in determining diluted net loss per share. In 2009, the anti-dilutive securities included (i) common stock options to purchase 2,156,503 shares and (ii) 497,257 shares of restricted stock. In 2008, since the Company had net income applicable to common shareholders, the effects of all potentially dilutive securities including capital options, stock options and unvested restricted stock were considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Because the exercise prices of certain incentive stock options were greater than the average market price of the common shares and would be anti-dilutive, stock options to purchase 313,354 shares of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2008, were outstanding but not included in the computations of diluted income per share from continuing operations. Also excluded from the computation of diluted income per share for the year ended December 31, 2008, were 56,086 shares of restricted stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Reserve Quantity Information
The following information represents estimates of our proved reserves as of December 31, 2010, which have been prepared and presented under SEC rules which became effective for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. These rules required SEC reporting companies to prepare their reserves estimates using revised reserve definitions and revised pricing based on a 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month pricing. The previous rules required that reserve estimates be calculated using last-day-of-the-year pricing. The pricing that was used for estimates of our reserves as of December 31, 2010 was based on an unweighted average twelve month average West Texas Intermediate posted price of $75.96 per Bbl for oil and a Henry Hub spot natural gas price of $4.38 per MMBtu for natural gas, see table below. As a result of this change in pricing methodology in 2009, direct comparisons of reported reserves amounts prior to 2009 may be more difficult.
Another impact of the SEC rules was a general requirement that, subject to limited exceptions, proved undeveloped reserves may only be booked if they relate to wells scheduled to be drilled within five years of the date of booking. This rule limited, and may continue to limit, the Company’s potential to record additional proved undeveloped reserves as it pursues its drilling program, particularly as it develops its significant acreage in the Permian Basin of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Moreover, the Company may be required to write down our proved undeveloped reserves if we do not drill on those reserves with the required five-year timeframe. The Company does not have any proved undeveloped reserves which have remained undeveloped for five years or more.
The Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves are all located in the United States, primarily in the Permian Basin of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. All of the estimates of the proved reserves at December 31, 2010 and 2008 are based on reports prepared by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. (“Cawley”) and Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (“NSAI”), independent petroleum engineers. The estimates of 93 percent of the proved reserves at December 31, 2009 were based on reports prepared by Cawley and NSAI, independent petroleum engineers, with the remaining portion being prepared by the Company’s internal reserve engineering staff. Proved reserves were estimated in accordance with the guidelines established by the SEC and the FASB.
The following table summarizes the prices utilized in the reserve estimates for 2010, 2009 and 2008. Commodity prices utilized for the reserve estimates were adjusted for location, grade and quality are as follows:

Oil and natural gas reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. The accuracy of such estimates is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of subsequent drilling, testing and production may cause either upward or downward revision of previous estimates. Further, the volumes considered to be commercially recoverable fluctuate with changes in prices and operating costs. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of currently producing oil and natural gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as additional information becomes available in the future.
The following table provides a rollforward of the total proved reserves for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, as well as proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves at the beginning and end of each respective year. Oil and condensate volumes are expressed in MBbls and natural gas volumes are expressed in MMcf.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by applying at December 31, 2010 and 2009 the 12-month unweighted average of the first-day-of-the-month pricing for oil and natural gas and at December 31, 2008 year-end prices of oil and natural gas (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future production of proved oil and natural gas reserves less estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows. Future income taxes are calculated by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil and natural gas properties plus available carryforwards and credits and applying the current tax rates to the difference.
Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties. Estimates of fair value would also consider probable and possible reserves, anticipated future oil and natural gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.
