HARKEN ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2005 and 2006
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. In our opinion, these financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006 and the results of our operations and changes in its cash flows for all periods presented as of September 30, 2005 and 2006. The December 31, 2005 consolidated condensed balance sheet information is derived from audited financial statements. All adjustments represent normal recurring items. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2006 presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Due to the cessation of the operations of International Business Associates, Ltd. (“IBA”), we have reclassified certain amounts to discontinued operations. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations for further discussion.
Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of all companies that we, through our direct or indirect ownership or shareholding, were provided the ability to control the operating policies and procedures at September 30, 2006. As previously reported, during the second quarter of 2006, we deconsolidated Global Energy Development Plc (“Global”) from our consolidated condensed financial statements. Under U.S. GAAP we reflected the deconsolidation prospectively and, accordingly, we did not restate prior period amounts. We have provided unaudited pro-forma condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations giving effect to the deconsolidation of Global’s operations as if it had been effective for all periods presented. See Note 2 – Investment in Global for further discussion.
8
Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes changes in stockholders’ equity during the periods that do not result from transactions with stockholders. Our total comprehensive income is as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2006 | |
| | (in thousands) | | (in thousands) | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) | | $ | 32,810 | | $ | 1,393 | | $ | 42,282 | | $ | (923 | ) |
Foreign currency translation adjustment on investment | | — | | 520 | | — | | 4,363 | |
Unrealized gain (loss) on investments | | — | | (11,970 | ) | — | | 16,427 | |
Total comprehensive income (loss) | | $ | 32,810 | | $ | (10,057 | ) | $ | 42,282 | | $ | 19,867 | |
Financial Instruments - We carry our financial instruments including cash, auction rate bonds, equity securities and derivatives at their estimated fair values. The fair values of our auction rate bonds, securities and exchange-traded derivatives are based on prices quoted in active markets; the fair values of our commodity derivatives are based on pricing provided by our counterparties.
Our investments in auction rate bonds have been designated trading securities, and their associated gains are recognized in earnings. All of our investments in equity securities have been designated as available for sale. With the exception of our investment in Global, these securities have been classified as current assets in our accompanying balance sheets due to our ability to readily convert these investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. Our investment in Global is classified as a non-current asset in our accompanying balance sheets. The associated unrealized gains and losses on our available for sale investments are recorded to other comprehensive income until realized.
We have not designated any of our derivative instruments as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” All gains and losses related to these positions are recognized in earnings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.” This Statement provides new accounting guidance for embedded derivatives and other issues. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” FSP FIN 46(R)-6 provides further accounting guidance in assessing whether an entity is subject to the accounting requirements of FIN 46(R). FSP FIN 46(R)-6 is effective for all entities with which an enterprise becomes involved and all existing entities when a reconsideration event has occurred, in each case, at the beginning of the first reporting period that starts after June 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 46(R)-6 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2006, the Governor of Texas signed into law a Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3) which restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the current franchise tax with a new “taxable margin” component. Specifically, we will be subject to a new entity level tax beginning in 2008 on the portion of our total revenue (as that term is defined in the legislation) that is generated in Texas beginning in our tax year ending December 31, 2007. Specifically, the Texas margin tax will be imposed at a maximum effective rate of 0.7% of our total revenue that is apportioned to Texas. We are currently evaluating what impact (if any) this new tax law will have on our income tax expense and deferred tax assets (which are currently fully reserved).
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is g reater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, is recorded. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt SFAS No. 157 as of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as permitted, and we are currently evaluating the impact adoption may have on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement amends Statement 87, FASB Statement No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, Statement 106, and FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, and other related accounting literature. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. Employers with publicly traded equity securities are required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. We have no defined benefit or other post retirement plans subject to this standard.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. If the prior period effect is material to the current
10
period, then the prior period is required to be corrected. Correcting prior year financial statements would not require an amendment of prior year financial statements, but such corrections would be made the next time the company files the prior year financial statements. Upon adoption, SAB 108 allows a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for corrections of prior period misstatements required under this statement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
(2) INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL
At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 34% of Global’s ordinary shares. During the first quarter of 2006, Lyford Investments Enterprises Ltd. (“Lyford”) owned 17.01% of the ordinary shares of Global and also beneficially owned approximately 30% of the combined voting power of our common stock. Lyford’s representative, Alan Quasha, is the Chairman of our Board of Directors. During the first quarter of 2006, our direct equity interest of 33.67% combined with Lyford’s 17.01% equity interest in Global and the previous sharing of certain management and administrative functions between Global and us, were deemed to provide us with the legal power to control the operating policies and procedures of Global as of March 31, 2006, which required us to consolidate the operations of Global as of such date.
In April 2006, Global advised us that Lyford had sold a portion of its equity interest in Global, reducing Lyford ownership to 15.89% of the ordinary shares of Global such that our direct equity interest in Global combined with Lyford’s direct equity interest in Global was reduced to less than 50% of Global’s outstanding voting securities. Based upon this reduction in ownership and the elimination of shared management and administrative functions between us and Global, we determined that we no longer had the legal power to control the operating policies and procedures of Global and that we were required to deconsolidate Global from our consolidated financial statements beginning effectively during the second quarter of 2006. Under US GAAP, we are required to reflect this deconsolidation prospectively, and, accordingly, we have not restated prior year amounts. As a result of this treatment, Global’s operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 are still included in our consolidated condensed financial statements at September 30, 2006.
Based upon our ownership percentage at September 30, 2006 of approximately 34% of Global’s outstanding common shares, we would normally treat our ownership of Global as an equity method investment if we had the ability to exercise significant influence over Global. However, there are certain information requirements needed from Global to permit us to comply with the requirements of the equity method. Global’s common shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, and under AIM guidelines, Global publicly reports its financial results on a semi-annual basis (June 30 and December 31) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (“UK GAAP”). To comply with the requirements of the equity method we require adequate financial information from Global in order to conform Global’s UK GAAP financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a quarterly basis. We have made formal written requests to Global to provide us the needed financial information to apply the equity method, but Global has refused to provide to us this information, citing foreign securities exchange restrictions against providing more financial information to us than is available to their other shareholders.
As reflected in Global’s public announcements and filings, Global’s board of directors was expanded to six members. One of the new directors, a member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, now heads Global’s audit committee and has taken an active role in the oversight of the committee’s functions and
11
obligations with respect to restrictions imposed on Global regarding the disclosure of nonpublic information. As a result, and due to Global’s continued refusal to provide the financial information required for us to treat Global as an equity method investment, we concluded that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Global and cannot comply with the requirements of the equity method. Therefore beginning April 1, 2006, we are accounting for our Global shares as an available-for-sale cost method investment. We will recognize only dividend income beginning April 1, 2006, and our investment in Global will be adjusted to fair value every quarterly period with an offset to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
The deconsolidation of Global from our financial statements as of April 1, 2006 resulted in an adjusted carrying value of our investment in Global of $9.8 million which was then adjusted to market value on that same date. At April 1, 2006, our investment in Global of $58.5 million was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Global’s common stock based on Global’s closing share price of £2.83 (U.K. pounds sterling). The unrealized gain on investment of $48.8 million was recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity at April 1, 2006.
At September 30, 2006, our investment in Global of $30.5 million was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Global’s common stock based on Global’s closing share price of £1.37. The foreign currency exchange rate changed from 1.74 U.S. dollars per U.K. pounds sterling at April 1, 2006 to 1.87 U.S. dollars per U.K. pounds sterling at September 30, 2006. The foreign currency translation adjustment of $4.2 million and the unrealized loss on investment of $32.3 million for these subsequent changes in market value are recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, our total unrealized gain on Global shares recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders equity was $20.7 million.
Pro Forma Information – The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2005 along with the pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Global’s operations as if it had been effective for all periods presented. The combined condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2006 and the combined condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are presented as reported. The unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2005, we removed Global’s historical balance sheet at its previously-reported values and made an adjustment to the Investment in Global and Stockholders’ Equity to reflect our investment in Global at its fair market value based on its December 31, 2005 stock price and the foreign currency conversion factor as of December 31, 2005.
To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for each period presented, we removed Global’s historical results of operations at their previously-reported values and adjusted the Gain on Sale of Global shares and Gain on exercise of Global Warrants to the gains which would have been reported if Global was a cost-method investment at the time.

(3) INVESTMENTS
Our short-term investments at December 31, 2005 consisted of $15 million in auction bonds. At September 30, 2006, short-term investments consisted of approximately $18 million in auction bonds. These investments are classified as trading securities and recorded at their fair value in both periods. There was no significant unrealized gain or loss on these investments for any period covered by this report. Any unrealized gain or loss on these in the future will be recorded to earnings.
Our available-for-sale investments include our investment in common shares of Global as well as our investments in common shares of other publicly traded entities. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 we recorded the following unrealized holding gains and losses (in thousands):
| | Three months ending September 30, 2006 | | Nine months ending September 30, 2006 | |

(A) Please note that during the second quarter of 2006, we removed Global’s operations from our consolidated condensed financial statements and began to account for our ownership of Global common shares as an available-for-sale investment. At December 31, 2005, Global’s operations were consolidated in our financial statements. Please see Note 2 – Investment in Global for further discussion.
(4) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In February 2006, IBA redeemed 7,500 shares of its Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, along with 24 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, held by us in exchange for cash consideration of $7.5 million.
In accordance with FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003) – an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” we had designated IBA as a VIE and had previously consolidated the assets, liabilities and the results of operations of IBA.
During the second quarter of 2006, our Chief Executive Officer resigned from the board of directors of IBA. During this same time, it also became evident that IBA would be unable to raise additional capital to continue their operations, and we have resolved not to provide any additional form of support. During the third quarter of 2006, IBA ceased operations.
15
We determined that these events required us to treat our investment in IBA as a disposal of a subsidiary by means of abandonment. Therefore we have accounted for IBA as a discontinued operation in our statement of operations as of September 30, 2006. During June 2006, we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $190 thousand on IBA’s assets which is included in our loss from discontinued operations in our statement of operations. As discontinued operations, the operations for IBA for all periods presented have been combined into a single line item, net of taxes.
The following tables provide summarized income statement information related to IBA’s discontinued operations:

Sales of Certain Non-Operated Producing Interests — In September 2006, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Harken sold interests in certain non-operated oil and gas producing properties located in Texas and Louisiana at auction for approximately $2.9 million. The effective date of the sale of these properties is October 1, 2006. These proceeds have been allocated to the domestic full cost pool.
(6) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
Our oil and gas operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf Energy Management Company (“GEM”). GEM recognizes the present value of asset retirement obligations beginning in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of a fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.
A summary of GEM’s assets with required asset retirement obligations as of September 30, 2006 is as follows: (in thousands)

At September 30, 2006, we had no debt outstanding. At December 31, 2005, Global’s Senior Convertible Notes Payable due 2012 with a $12.5 million principal amount were included in our consolidated financial statements. We have deconsolidated Global’s operations. Please see Note 2 – Investment in Global for further discussion.
17
(8) REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
Series M Cumulative Convertible Preferred
In January 2006, we entered into an agreement with the holders of our Series M Cumulative Convertible Preferred (“Series M Preferred”), to do the following:
· Extend the expiration of the term required to occur before we may redeem the Series M Preferred for cash, at our sole option, by one year
· Modify the escalating dividend rates for the Series M Preferred to reflect a lower rate of 6% from 8%, for October 8, 2007 through October 7, 2008 and 8% from 9%, for October 8, 2008 to October 7, 2009
We accounted for the modification of the dividend rate in accordance with EITF Topic D-42, “The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock (“EITF D-42”),” and EITF Topic D-53, “Computation of Earnings per Share for a Period That Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock (“EITF D-53”),” We recognized approximately $123 thousand in Modification of preferred stock and common stock warrants as a decrease to Net loss attributed to common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This amount was equal to the fair value of the dividends given up by the holder for the modification of the Series M Preferred dividend rate.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, holders of 6,000 shares of the Series M Preferred voluntarily elected to exercise their conversion option, and such holders were issued 1,028,780 shares of our common stock.
Series L and M Common Stock Warrants
During January 2006, we also entered into an agreement with the holders of our Series L common stock warrants and Series M common stock warrants to extend the expiration term of the Series L warrants from August 12, 2006 to September 2, 2008 and to extend the expiration term of the Series M warrants from February 2, 2008 to September 2, 2008. We accounted for these extensions in accordance with EITF Topic D-42 and EITF Topic D-53 and recognized a charge to Modification of preferred stock and common stock warrants as an increase to Net loss attributed to common stock of approximately $1.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This amount was equal to the incremental increase in the fair value of the warrants as a result of extending the expiration term.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, holders of 130,000 Series M common stock warrants voluntarily elected to exercise their warrants, and 130,000 shares of our common stock were issued for proceeds of $74 thousand.
18
(9) STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Treasury Stock – At December 31, 2005, we had no treasury stock outstanding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we repurchased 2,234,400 shares of our common stock in the open market at a cost of approximately $1.4 million pursuant to our repurchase program. In August 2006, our Board of Directors approved the cancellation of 1,357,315 shares of treasury stock previously outstanding. Such treasury shares were cancelled in August 2006. At September 30, 2006, we held 877,100 shares of treasury stock, and approximately 5.4 million shares remain available for repurchase under our repurchase program.
The number of common and preferred shares and shares held in treasury at December 31, 2005 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:
| | Number of Shares | |
| | Preferred | | Preferred | | | | | | | |

(10) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We have removed Global’s operations from our consolidated condensed financial statements. See Note 2 – Investment in Global for further discussion. Global’s operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 prior to this deconsolidation remain included in our consolidated condensed financial statements. At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, we had no outstanding stock options. The following stock option information relates solely to Global’s stock option plan at March 31, 2006.
Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (As Amended)
Effective January 1, 2006, we and our consolidated companies adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) using the modified prospective transition method. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”) in March 2005, which provides supplemental SFAS 123(R) application guidance based on the views of the SEC. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost recognized in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted beginning January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, results for prior periods have not been restated.
19
The adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on the consolidated condensed statement of operations ended March 31, 2006 for the amount of $868 thousand. This adjustment was recorded as an increase to Net loss. We did not recognize a tax benefit from the cumulative effect adjustment because Global, the only entity impacted by SFAS 123 (R), had net operating losses which will prevent any tax benefit from being received from any exercised options. In accordance with SFAS 123(R) tax benefits and/or credits to additional paid-in capital for any additional deduction would not be recognized until the deduction actually reduces the taxes payable.
Global Stock Options
At March 31, 2006, Global’s 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is authorized to grant shares for up to and/or equal to 15% of Global’s common stock outstanding on grant date, to its qualified and non-qualified employees and directors. Under the Plan, all options granted expire in ten years, and vest and become fully exercisable at the end of three years of continued employment. The Plan allows options to be exercised with written notification submitted to the secretary of Global. Within thirty days of receipt of notification Global, upon board approval, shall issue new shares to participant. The Plan has had four different grant dates: January 31, 2002; August 30, 2002; December 3, 2004; and December 3, 2005.
In June 2005, four of our employees resigned their respective office positions of Global and were replaced with Global employees. Global’s Board of Directors, acting under the discretionary provisions of the Plan, approved a resolution which resulted in the Global options granted to those four individuals to become fully vested. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, as amended, the options granted to the four individuals expire on June 16, 2007.
In 2004 the Board of Directors of Global modified the Plan to include a cashless exercise feature, which changed the Plan from a fixed option plan to a variable option plan. The cashless feature of the Plan classified the options as a liability award. The liability award method required Global to account for the share-based payment arrangements as a liability on the consolidated condensed balance sheet according to SFAS 123(R). Global was required to value each issuance of options at fair value on a quarterly basis and reflect any change in fair value as compensation expense on the consolidated condensed statement of operations.
Global opted to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its options on a quarterly basis and on the grant date of any options granted here within. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model uses several criteria, some of which are known at time of valuation (strike price, market price, and risk-free rate) and some which require the use of assumptions such as the expected stock price volatility, the expected dividend rate, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term. Global used an adjusted historical volatility based on the most recent years’ traded stock activity. Global also used historical data to compute the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate and the expected option term. The historical data was separated into groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior, to estimate the options expected term until exercised and/or forfeited.
20
For the quarters ending March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, the fair value assumptions used were estimated at the quarter-end dates using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method described above with the following criteria:
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2005 | | 2006 | |
Date of grant (A) | | Historical volatility | | Expected option term | | Risk-free interest rate | | Fair value | | Historical volatility | | Expected option term | | Risk-free interest rate | | Fair value | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Jan. 31, 2002 | | 131.73 | % | 4.44 | | 4.33 | | £ | 1.69 | | 50.22 | % | 3.44 | | 4.83 | | £ | 2.41 | |

Dec. 3, 2004 | | 131.73 | % | 3.68 | | 4.50 | | £ | 1.50 | | 50.22 | % | 2.86 | | 4.86 | | £ | 1.67 | |
Dec. 3, 2005 | | — | | — | | — | | £ | — | | 50.22 | % | 3.01 | | 4.86 | | £ | 1.15 | |
(A) The expected dividend rate for all grants in both periods presented is 0%.
Pro-Forma Stock Compensation Expense for the prior year period ended March 31, 2005
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), Global applied the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 25. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005 Global recorded share-based compensation expense under the intrinsic value method of approximately $2.0 million in the consolidated condensed statement of operations which was attributable to Global options that vested during the period and to the increase in the Global share price during the period from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005. The following table represents the pro forma effect on net loss and net loss per share as if Global had applied the fair value-based method and recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except for per share amounts):
| | Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 | |
| | | |
Net loss attributed to common stock, as reported | | $ | (6,610 | ) |
Add: | Total share-based employee compensation recognized under intrinsic value-based method for all amounts | | 2,020 | |
Deduct: | Total share-based employee compensation determined under fair value-based method for all amounts | | (99 | ) |
Deduct: Related minority interest and foreign currency gain | | (424 | ) |
Pro-forma net loss attributed to common stock | | $ | (5,113 | ) |
Basic net loss per share, as reported | | $ | (0.03 | ) |
Pro-forma basic net loss per share | | $ | (0.02 | ) |
Diluted net loss per share, as reported | | $ | (0.03 | ) |
Pro-forma diluted net loss per share | | $ | (0.02 | ) |
21
Pro-forma compensation expense under the previously issued SFAS 123, among other computational differences, does not consider potential pre-vesting forfeitures. Because of these differences, the pro-forma stock compensation expense presented above for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 under SFAS 123 and the stock compensation expense recognized during the current quarter ended March 31, 2006 for approximately $2.2 million under SFAS 123(R) are not directly comparable. In accordance with the modified prospective transition method of SFAS 123(R), the prior comparative quarterly results were not restated.
Stock options as of the quarter ended March 31, 2006
A summary of Global’s stock option activity, and related information for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 follows (in UK pounds sterling):
| | For the quarter ended March 31, 2006 | |
| | Number of Options | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |
| | | | | | (in years) | | (£000) | |
Outstanding-January 1, 2006 | | 4,047,636 | | £ | 0.84 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Granted | | — | | £ | — | | | | | |
Exercised | | (147,440 | ) | £ | 1.17 | | | | | |
Forfeited | | — | | £ | — | | | | | |
Expired | | — | | £ | — | | | | | |

Outstanding-March 31, 2006 | | 3,900,196 | | £ | 0.83 | | 6.6 | | £ | 7,814 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Exercisable-March 31, 2006 | | 3,309,990 | | £ | 0.53 | | 5.2 | | £ | 7,309 | |
For the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, Global did not grant any options under the Plan. The total intrinsic value, or the difference between the exercise price and the market price on the date of exercise, of all options exercised during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, was approximately $174 thousand and $460 thousand, respectively. Global did not receive or pay cash related to the exercise of options in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, because the options are issued with a cashless exercisable feature. However, Global did relieve the share-based liability recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 for $207 thousand and $466 thousand, respectively. Total estimated unrecognized compensation cost from unvested stock options as of March 31, 2006 was approximately $1.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.18 years. The aggregate fair value of the options that vested during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $544 thousand as compared to the aggregate fair value of the options vested during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 of $194 thousand.
22
Stock options outstanding and currently exercisable at March 31, 2006 are as follows:
| | Outstanding Options | | Exercisable Options | |
| | Number of Options Outstanding | | Exercise Price | | Number of Options Exercisable | | Fair Value | |
| | | | | | | | | |

(11) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
GEM holds certain commodity derivative instruments which are effective in mitigating commodity price risk associated with a portion of its future monthly natural gas and crude oil production and related cash flows. GEM’s oil and gas operating revenues and cash flows are impacted by changes in commodity product prices, which are volatile and cannot be accurately predicted. GEM’s objective for holding these commodity derivatives is to protect the operating revenues and cash flows related to a portion of its future natural gas sales and crude oil from the risk of significant declines in commodity prices.
We have not designated any of our commodity derivatives as hedges under SFAS 133. The following table reflects the derivative contracts that GEM had open during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and their associated gains and losses. These gains and losses are reflected in Interest Income and Other in our Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.

GEM’s derivatives are included at their fair values within Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2006. Fair values of our open commodity derivatives as of September 30, 2006 were as follows (in thousands):
Commodity | | Type | | Volume/Day | | Duration | | Strike Price | | Fair Value | |
Natural Gas | | Floor | | 70,000 mmbtu | | Jul 06 - Dec 06 | | $ | 6.00 | | $ | 88 | |

Crude Oil | | Floor | | 6,000 bbls | | Jan 07 - Jun 07 | | $ | 50.00 | | 10 | |
| | | | | | | | | | $ | 98 | |
Neither we nor any of our consolidated companies holds any derivative instruments which are designated as either fair value hedges or foreign currency hedges. Settlements of GEM’s oil and gas commodity derivatives are based on the difference between fixed option prices and the New York Mercantile Exchange closing prices for each month during the life of the contracts. GEM monitors its crude oil and natural gas production prices compared to New York Mercantile Exchange prices to assure its commodity derivatives are effective hedges in mitigating its commodity price risk.
During August 2006, we started a new operating segment through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Harken Energy Market Investments, Inc. (“HEMI”), which engages in the active management of investment and derivative instruments in energy industry securities traded on domestic securities exchanges. HEMI uses these derivatives as a tool to enhance investment return or to minimize the risk on our energy industry portfolio. HEMI’s derivatives are presented at fair value as derivative liabilities on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2006. These derivatives are not designated as hedges, and we recognize gains and losses related to these positions in current earnings. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 we have included unrealized losses related to these derivatives of $40 thousand within Interest income and other.
(12) SEGMENT INFORMATION
At September 30, 2006, we divided our operations into three operating segments which are managed and evaluated as separate operations. GEM, our wholly-owned subsidiary, manages its domestic operations held through its other domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. GEM’s operating segment currently relates to exploration, development, production and acquisition efforts in the United States. GEM operates primarily through traditional ownership of mineral interests in the various states in which it operates. GEM’s oil and gas production is sold to established purchasers and generally transported through existing and well-developed pipeline infrastructure.
Our second operating segment, (“HEC Corporate”), operates and manages our investments in GEM, HEMI and Global. HEC Corporate also manages public company compliance and may seek to raise financing through the issuance of debt, equity and convertible debt instruments, if needed, for the utilization of acquisition and development opportunities as they arise.
Our third operating segment, HEMI, began operations during August 2006. HEMI actively manages investments in energy industry securities traded on domestic and international security exchanges. HEMI
24
strives to obtain favorable investment returns by diversifying investment holdings within the energy sector and balancing risk exposures.
For periods prior to April 1, 2006, we had another operating segment that consisted of our investment in Global. At April 1, 2006, Global was removed from our consolidated financial statements (please see Note 2 – Investment in Global for further discussion.)
Our accounting policies for each of our operating segments are the same as those for our consolidated financial statements. There were no intersegment sales or transfers for the periods presented. Revenues and expenses not directly identifiable with any segment, such as certain general and administrative expenses, are allocated by us based on various internal and external criteria including an assessment of the relative benefit to each segment.
Our financial information, expressed in thousands, for each of our operating segments for the periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 is as follows:

(13) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income or loss attributed to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if security interests were exercised or converted into common stock.
26
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 (in thousands, except per share data):

(A) Represents the dividend liability accrued on our Preferred Stock during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005. The dividend liability has been treated as an increase to income attributed to common stock as such dividends would not have been incurred had these securities been converted by the holder. Not included in the calculation for diluted earnings per share for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were our Series G1, G2 and M Preferred Stock as well as our Series L and M Warrants as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
At September 30, 2006, if our remaining convertible preferred stock and common stock purchase warrants were exercised and/or converted, we would be required to issue the following amounts of our common stock:
Instrument | | Conversion / Exercise Price (a) | | Shares of Common Stock Issuable at September 30, 2006 | |
Series M Preferred | | $ | 0.59 | | 7,457,627 | |
Series G1 Preferred | | $ | 12.50 | | 12,800 | |

(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases — We lease our corporate and certain other office space. Future minimum rental payments required under all leases that have initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2006, are as follows (in thousands):
Year | | Amount | |
Remainder of 2006 | | $ | 87 | |
2007 | | 346 | |
2008 | | 275 | |
2009 | | 240 | |
2010 | | 242 | |
Thereafter | | 262 | |
Total minimum payments required | | $ | 1,452 | |
Operational Contingencies — The exploration, development and production of oil and gas are subject to various, federal and state laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. Compliance with these regulations is part of our day-to-day operating procedures. Infrequently, accidental discharge of such materials as oil, natural gas or drilling fluids can occur and such accidents can require material expenditures to correct. We maintain levels of insurance we believe to be customary in the industry to limit our financial exposure. Management is unaware of any material capital expenditures required for environmental control during the next fiscal year.
From time to time, we provide for reserves related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our business and the results of our operations. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain statements made in our discussion may be forward-looking. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other risks described in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “we,” “us” and “our,” we are describing Harken Energy Corporation and its consolidated companies on a consolidated basis.
OVERVIEW
We are an independent oil and gas exploration, exploitation, development and production company who seeks to invest in energy-based growth opportunities. Our oil and gas operations are conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf Energy Management Company (“GEM”). GEM’s operations consist of exploration, exploitation, development, production and acquisition efforts in the United States, principally in the onshore and offshore Gulf Coast regions of South Texas and Louisiana, as well as coal bed methane exploration and development activities in Indiana and Ohio. We have an investment in Global Energy Development PLC (“Global”) through our ownership of approximately 34% of Global’s ordinary shares which we account for as a cost method investment. Global has exploration, development and production activities in Colombia and exploration activities in Panama and Peru.
Our revenues are primarily derived from production from GEM’s oil and gas properties. Approximately 39% of GEM’s natural gas and crude oil production comes from GEM operated properties all located in the United States. Our revenues are a function of the oil and gas volumes produced and the prevailing commodity price at the time of production, and certain quality and transportation discounts. The commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas as well as the timing of production volumes have a significant impact on our operating income. From time-to-time, GEM enters into hedging contracts to achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce exposure to declines in market prices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, GEM’s oil and gas revenues were comprised of approximately 45% oil sales and 55% natural gas sales. Substantially all of GEM’s production is concentrated in five oil and gas fields along the onshore and offshore Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast.
During August 2006, we started a new operating segment through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Harken Energy Market Investments, Inc. (HEMI), which engages in the active management of investments in energy industry securities traded on domestic securities exchanges. HEMI strives to obtain favorable investment returns by diversifying investment holdings within the energy sector and balancing risk exposures.

DECONSOLIDATION OF GLOBAL
At December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 34% of Global’s ordinary shares. During the first quarter of 2006, Lyford Investments Enterprises Ltd. (“Lyford”) owned 17.01% of the ordinary shares of Global and also beneficially owned approximately 30% of the combined voting power of our common stock. Lyford’s representative, Alan Quasha, is the Chairman of our Board of Directors. During the first quarter of 2006, our direct equity interest of 33.67% combined with Lyford’s 17.01% equity interest in Global and the previous sharing of certain management and administrative functions between Global and us, were deemed to provide us with the legal power to control the operating policies and procedures of Global as of March 31, 2006, which required us to consolidate the operations of Global as of such date.
In April 2006, Global advised us that Lyford had sold a portion of its equity interest in Global, reducing Lyford ownership to 15.89% of the ordinary shares of Global such that our direct equity interest in Global combined with Lyford’s direct equity interest in Global was reduced to less than 50% of Global’s outstanding voting securities. Based upon this reduction in ownership and the elimination of shared management and administrative functions between us and Global, we determined that we no longer have the legal power to control the operating policies and procedures of Global and that we were required to deconsolidate Global from our consolidated financial statements during the second quarter of 2006. Under US GAAP, we reflected this deconsolidation prospectively, and, accordingly, we have not restated prior year amounts. As a result of this treatment, Global’s operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 are still included in our consolidated condensed financial statements at September 30, 2006.
Based upon our ownership percentage at September 30, 2006 of approximately 34% of Global’s outstanding common shares, we normally would treat our ownership of Global as an equity method investment if we had the ability to exercise significant influence over Global. However, there are certain information requirements needed from Global to permit us to comply with the requirements of the equity method. Global’s common shares are listed on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange, and under AIM guidelines, Global publicly reports its financial results on a semi-annual basis (June 30 and December 31) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Kingdom (“UK GAAP”). To comply with the requirements of the equity method, we require adequate financial information from Global in order to conform Global’s UK GAAP financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a quarterly basis. We have made formal written requests to Global to provide us the needed financial information to apply the equity method, but Global has refused to provide to us this information, citing foreign exchange restrictions against providing more financial information than is available to their other shareholders.
As reflected in Global’s public announcements and filings, Global’s board of directors was expanded to six members. One of the new directors, a member of the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, now heads Global’s audit committee and has taken an active role in the oversight of the committee’s functions and obligations with respect to restrictions imposed on Global regarding the disclosure of nonpublic information. As a result, and due to Global’s continued refusal to provide the financial information required for us to treat Global as an equity method investment, we concluded that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Global and cannot comply with the requirements of the equity method. Therefore beginning April 1, 2006, we are accounting for our Global shares as an available-for-sale cost method investment. We will recognize only dividend income beginning April 1, 2006, and our investment in Global will be adjusted to fair value every quarterly period with an offset to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
30
The deconsolidation of Global from our financial statements as of April 1, 2006 resulted in an adjusted carrying value of our investment in Global of $9.8 million which was then adjusted to market value on that same date. At April 1, 2006, our investment in Global of $58.5 million was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Global’s common stock based on Global’s closing share price of £2.83 (U.K. pounds sterling). The unrealized gain on investment of $48.8 million was recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity at April 1, 2006.
At September 30, 2006, our investment in Global of $30.5 million was equal to the market value of our 11.9 million shares of Global’s common stock based on Global’s closing share price of £1.37. The foreign currency exchange rate changed from 1.74 U.S. dollars per U.K. pounds sterling at April 1, 2006 to 1.87 U.S. dollars per U.K. pounds sterling at September 30, 2006. The foreign currency translation adjustment of $4.2 million and the unrealized loss on investment of $32.3 million for these subsequent changes in market value are recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, our total unrealized gain on Global shares recorded to other comprehensive income in stockholders equity was $20.7 million.
Pro Forma Information – The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2005 along with the pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 gives effect to the deconsolidation of Global’s operations as if it had been effective for all periods presented. The combined condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2006 and the combined condensed statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are presented as reported. The unaudited pro forma data is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2005, we removed Global’s historical balance sheet at its previously-reported values and made an adjustment to the Investment in Global and Stockholders’ Equity to reflect our investment in Global at its fair market value based on its December 31, 2005 stock price and the foreign currency conversion factor as of December 31, 2005.
To arrive at our pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for each period presented, we removed Global’s historical results of operations at their previously-reported values and adjusted the Gain on Sale of Global shares and the Gain on Exercise of Global Warrants to the gains which would have been reported if Global was a cost-method investment at the time.

GEM’S OPERATIONS:
As of November 7, 2006, GEM’s net domestic production rate was at approximately 9.0 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, GEM has been actively participating in the development of its oil and gas assets increasing its net domestic production rate from approximately 5.7 million cubic feet equivalent at December 31, 2005 to its current levels. The following field data updates the status of GEM’s operation:
Lake Raccourci Field, Lafourche Parish – Louisiana
GEM holds an average 40% operated working interest in each of its Lake Raccourci wells. Gross production for this field is approximately 7.4 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. Production following a workover to repair the State Lease 14589 #2 well has exceeded our expectations, and the well is flowing at a gross production rate of about 4.9 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. In addition we have installed gas lift capacity to the State Lease 1480 #2 well, which is now producing at a gross rate of about .6 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. GEM is presently seeking industry partners to drill a field extension well.
Point-au-Fer Field, Terrebonne Parish – Louisiana
GEM owns a 12.5% non-operated working interest in this approximate 56 square mile area. Gross production for this field is approximately 1.4 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. GEM participated in the drilling of one well during the third quarter of 2006 for a total of three wells in this field during 2006. The first two wells are now flowing to sales and are included in the field total. The third well has been logged and cased. A completion rig is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Several prospects have been identified in the area, and GEM expects to have additional drilling and workover activity in this area during the remainder of 2006.
Allen Ranch Field, Colorado County – Texas
GEM owns an 11.25% non-operated working interest in this area. Gross production for this field is approximately 7.4 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. Stimulation and testing is now complete in the initial well, the Hancock Gas Unit # 1, and all bridge plugs have been removed from the wellbore. Current gross production for this well is approximately 5.4 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. Testing continues for the second well, the Hancock Gas Unit #2, with the most recently tested zone producing on a gross basis approximately 2.0 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. Once testing is competed, all temporary bridge plugs will be removed and the various horizons commingled for long-term production. Stabilized production rates should be established during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Point-a-la-Hache Field, Plaquemines Parish – Louisiana
During the second quarter of 2006, repairs to the production barge at this field were completed, however the current producing zone subsequently watered out. Currently, gross production for this single well field is approximately 1.0 million cubic feet equivalent of natural gas per day. GEM plans on adding gas lift capacity on this well to enhance production rates and ultimate recovery. GEM estimates this work to be completed by the end of November 2006. GEM maintains a 25% operated working interest in the area.
34
Coalbed Methane Prospects – Indiana and Ohio
Indiana Prospect – Non-Operated
In 2005, after the submission of a Phase I core evaluation report by the technical consultant, GEM elected to proceed and fund pilot well drilling under Phase II of the agreement. GEM is experiencing limited availability of needed equipment in order to move forward with the pilot program. However, GEM still expects the drilling of the pilot wells to occur during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Ohio Cumberland Prospect - Non-Operated
Core samples from the Ohio CBM prospect are being analyzed for gas content, gas composition and characteristics of the coal. Depending on final results and availability of equipment, GEM may elect to schedule drilling of pilot wells on its Ohio CBM prospect area during the fourth quarter of 2006.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Our consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) which requires us to use estimates and make assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, industry conditions and various other factors which we believe are appropriate. Actual results could vary significantly from our estimates and assumptions as additional information becomes known. The more significant critical accounting estimates and assumptions are described below.
Consolidation of variable interest entities - In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), which requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) activities to consolidate the VIE. FIN 46 defines a VIE as an entity in which the equity investors do not have substantive voting rights and there is not sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The primary beneficiary is the party that absorbs a majority of the expected losses and/or receives a majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE’s activities. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46(R), which supercedes and amends certain provisions of FIN 46. While FIN 46(R) retained many of the concepts and provisions of FIN 46, it also provides additional guidance related to the application of FIN 46, provides for certain additional scope exceptions, and incorporates several FASB Staff Positions issued related to the application of FIN 46.
As of September 30, 2006, Harken owned less than a majority of the common shares of Global and did not possess the legal power to direct the operating policies and procedures of Global through our direct ownership, combined with the 15.46% ownership by Lyford in Global shares. In addition, Harken has concluded that Global was not a VIE at September 30, 2006 as contemplated by FIN 46(R). During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we had an investment in a VIE named IBA, which we consolidated in accordance with FIN 46(R). During the second quarter of 2006, we determined to account for IBA as a discontinued operation. See Note 4 – “Discontinued Operations” in the notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information regarding IBA.
35
Financial Instruments - We carry our financial instruments including cash, auction rate bonds, equity securities and derivatives at their estimated fair values. The fair values of our auction rate bonds, securities and exchange-traded derivatives are based on prices quoted in active markets; the fair values of our commodity derivatives are based on pricing provided by our counterparties.
Our investments in auction rate bonds have been designated trading securities, and their associated gains are recognized in earnings. All of our investments in equity securities have been designated as available for sale. With the exception of our investment in Global, these securities have been classified as current assets in our accompanying balance sheets due to our ability to readily convert these investments into cash to fund current operations or satisfy other cash requirements as needed. Our investment in Global is classified as a non-current asset in our accompanying balance sheets. The associated unrealized gains and losses on our available for sale investments are recorded to other comprehensive income until realized.
We have not designated any of our derivative instruments as hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” All gains and losses related to these positions are recognized in earnings.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and 140.” This Statement provides new accounting guidance for embedded derivatives and other issues. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, “Determining the Variability to be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).” FSP FIN 46(R)-6 provides further accounting guidance in assessing whether an entity is subject to the accounting requirements of FIN 46(R). FSP FIN 46(R)-6 is effective for all entities with which an enterprise becomes involved and all existing entities when a reconsideration event has occurred, in each case, at the beginning of the first reporting period that starts after June 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 46(R)-6 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2006, the Governor of Texas signed into law a Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3) which restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the current franchise tax with a new “taxable margin” component. Specifically, we will be subject to a new entity level tax beginning in 2008 on the portion of our total revenue (as that term is defined in the legislation) that is generated in Texas beginning in our tax year ending December 31, 2007. Specifically, the Texas margin tax will be imposed at a maximum effective rate of 0.7% of our total revenue that is apportioned to Texas. We are currently evaluating what impact (if any) this new tax law will have on our income tax expense and deferred tax assets (which are currently fully reserved).
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained if the
36
position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority, is recorded. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt SFAS No. 157 as of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as permitted, and we are currently evaluating the impact adoption may have on our financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement amends Statement 87, FASB Statement No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, Statement 106, and FASB Statement No. 132 (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, and other related accounting literature. SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This Statement also requires employers to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. Employers with publicly traded equity securities are required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. We have no defined benefit or other post retirement plans subject to this standard.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. If the prior period effect is material to the current period, then the prior period is required to be corrected. Correcting prior year financial statements would not require an amendment of prior year financial statements, but such corrections would be made the next time the company files the prior year financial statements. Upon adoption, SAB 108 allows a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for corrections of prior period misstatements required under this statement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the purposes of discussion and analysis, we are presenting a summary of our pro forma consolidated condensed results of operations followed by more detailed discussion and analysis of our operating results. The pro forma results are representative of what our earnings would have been if Global were deconsolidated from our condensed results of operations for all periods presented.

(1) GEM’s operating profit is calculated as oil and gas revenues less oil and gas operating expenses
The following is our discussion and analysis of significant components of our continuing operations which have affected our pro forma earnings and balance sheet during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared with the corresponding prior year period.
GEM Operating Results:
GEM’s oil and gas revenues are generated from the operations in the onshore and offshore areas of the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. During the third quarter of 2006, GEM’s oil and gas revenues increased 68% to approximately $6.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the prior year period primarily due to an increase in oil and gas sales volumes as well as an increase in average oil prices received as compared to the prior year period.
GEM’s natural gas revenue increased 73% to approximately $3.7 million during the third quarter 2006 as compared to $2.2 million during the third quarter 2005. Although natural gas volumes increased 100% from 255,000 mcf for the third quarter 2005 to 511,000 mcf for the third quarter 2006, the prices realized for natural
38
gas sales fell from $8.50 to $7.31 during the 2006 period. The volume increase was attributed to new or improved production at Allen Ranch, Lapeyrouse, Raymondville and Lake Raccourci fields following the hurricanes from the prior year period.
GEM’s oil revenues increased 62% to approximately $3.2 million during the third quarter 2006 from approximately $2.0 million during the third quarter 2005. After fully recovering to pre-storm levels following the hurricanes of 2005, GEM experienced a 39% increase in oil production during the third quarter 2006 compared to the prior year period. GEM also realized an increase in oil prices received of 16% which averaged $69.57 per barrel compared to $59.80 per barrel in the prior year period.
GEM’s oil and gas operating expense increased 39% to approximately $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2006 compared to approximately $1.5 million during the third quarter 2005 primarily due to increases in the cost of insurance, continuing repair costs related to storms of 2005, demand-driven price increases for oilfield services and equipment associated with increased oilfield activity (particularly in offshore Louisiana due to ongoing hurricane repairs), as well as remedial workovers performed in the normal course of business.
Interest and Other Income, net
Interest and other income increased from $208 thousand during the 2005 period up to $500 thousand during the 2006 period, primarily due to higher cash and marketable securities balances maintained during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the third quarter of 2005. Also, contributing to the increase were approximately $115 thousand of net gains associated with our natural gas and crude oil option for contracts during the 2006 period.
Other Costs and Expenses
General and administrative expenses remained steady at $1.3 million during third quarter 2006 as well as third quarter 2005.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased significantly during third quarter 2006 when compared to third quarter 2005 due to increased depletion rates for GEM due to higher anticipated future development costs and the decrease in their oil and gas reserve volumes. Depletion on oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit of production basis in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Interest and other expenses decreased during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the prior year period due primarily to interest expense incurred during the prior year period on our outstanding notes which were paid in full during 2005. We had no debt outstanding during 2006.
Global Warrant Liability
During the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a loss of $5.1 million due to the increase in the fair value of the Global Warrants we issued to Lyford. All Global Warrants held by Lyford were exercised during 2005; as a result we had no similar adjustments during 2006.
39
Gain on Sale of Global Shares
During the third quarter of 2005, we sold certain of our common shares of Global, at market price on the date of sale, in exchange for cash consideration, net of fees, of approximately $13.9 million. As a result of the sale of these shares, we recognized a gain of approximately $10.8 million equal to the amount by which the total sale proceeds exceeded our proportionate carrying value of Global. We had no sales of our common shares of Global during the third quarter of 2006; as a result we had no similar gains during the 2006 period.
Gain on Exercise of Global Warrants
In September 2005, Lyford exercised all of its Global Warrants in exchange for cash proceeds of $6.4 million. In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a gain on the exercise of these warrants of approximately $26 million. All Global Warrants held by Lyford were exercised during 2005; as a result we had no similar gains during 2006.
Accrual of Dividends related to Preferred Stock
All of our preferred stock issuances require us to accrue dividends. Dividends related to all of our preferred stock issuances are cumulative and may be paid in cash or common stock, at our option. We accrue the dividends at their cash liquidation value and reflect the accrual of dividends as a reduction in earnings to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. Accruals of dividends related to preferred stock for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 are as follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2005 | | 2006 | |
Series G1 | | $ | 6,000 | | $ | 3,000 | |
Series G2 | | 3,000 | | 1,000 | |

Series M | | 50,000 | | 43,000 | |
Total | | $ | 255,000 | | $ | 47,000 | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the corresponding prior year period.
GEM Operating Results:
During the first nine months of 2006, GEM’s oil and gas revenues increased 30% to approximately $18 million compared to $13.8 million for the prior year period due to both increased oil and gas sales volumes as well as an increase in average oil and gas commodity prices received as compared to the prior year period.
GEM’s natural gas revenue increased 31% to approximately $9.9 million during the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $7.5 million during the comparable period of 2005. Natural gas volumes increased 31% from 1,015,000 mcf for the first nine months of 2005 to 1,329,000 mcf for the same period during 2006. This volume increase was attributed to new or improved production at Allen Ranch, Lapeyrouse and Lake Raccourci fields.
40
GEM’s oil revenues increased 28% to approximately $8.1 million during the 2006 period from approximately $6.3 million during the 2005 period primarily due to an increase in oil prices received of 27% which averaged $66.33 per barrel compared to $52.05 per barrel in the prior year period.
GEM’s oil and gas operating expense increased 42% to approximately $5.9 million during the 2006 period compared to approximately $4.2 million during the 2005 period primarily due to the cost of insurance, continuing repair costs related to storms of 2005, remedial workovers performed in several fields and demand-driven price increases for oilfield services and equipment associated with increased oilfield activity (particularly in offshore Louisiana due to ongoing hurricane repairs.)
Interest and Other Income, net
Interest income increased from $342 thousand to $1.1 million primarily due to higher cash and marketable securities balances maintained during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the 2005 period. The higher cash and marketable securities balances were due to $40 million in prior year sales of Global shares during mid-2005.
Other Costs and Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased slightly to $4.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $4.2 million for the 2005 period due primarily to higher franchise taxes mostly offset by decreases in professional fees as well as lower public company regulatory costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the 2005 period due to increased depletion rates for GEM due to higher anticipated future development costs and the decrease in their oil and gas reserve volumes. Depletion on oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit of production basis in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Interest and other expense decreased 99% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the prior year period due primarily to interest expense incurred during the prior year on our outstanding notes which were paid in full during 2005. We had no outstanding debt during 2006.
Global Warrant Liability
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized a loss of $12.9 million for the increase in the fair value of the Global Warrants held by Lyford. All Global Warrants held by Lyford were exercised during 2005; as a result we had no similar adjustments during the 2006 period.
Gain on Sale of Global Shares
During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we sold certain of our common shares of Global, at market price on the date of sale, in exchange for cash consideration, net of fees, of approximately $40 million. As a result of the sale of these shares, we recognized a gain of approximately $27.7 million equal to the amount by which the total sale proceeds exceeded our proportionate carrying value of Global. We had no sales of our common shares of Global during the third quarter of 2006; as a result we had no similar gains during the 2006 period.
41
Gain on Exercise of Global Warrants
In September 2005, Lyford exercised all of its warrants in exchange for cash proceeds of $6.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized a gain on the exercise of these warrants of approximately $26 million. All Global Warrants held by Lyford were exercised during 2005; as a result we had no similar gains during 2006.
Accrual of Dividends related to Preferred Stock
All of our preferred stock issuances require us to accrue dividends. Dividends related to all of our preferred stock issuances are cumulative and may be paid in cash or common stock, at our option. We accrue the dividends at their cash liquidation value and reflect the accrual of dividends as a reduction in earnings to arrive at net loss attributable to common shareholders. Accruals of dividends related to preferred stock for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 are as follows:

Modification of Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants
During the first quarter 2006, as a result of renegotiated terms of the Series M Preferred and common stock warrants held by holders of our Series M Preferred and Series L Preferred, we recorded a charge totaling $1.1 million as a Modification of preferred stock and common stock warrants as an increase to Net loss to arrive at Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations for the period ended September 30, 2006. We also recorded $18 thousand during the 2006 period as a reduction in earnings related to the June 2006 dividend payments on our G1, G2 and M series of Preferred Stock. See Note 8 - “Redeemable Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 for further discussion.

We may continue to seek to raise financing through the issuance of debt, equity and convertible debt instruments, and/or the sale of shares in Global, if needed, for utilization for acquisition, development or investment opportunities as they arise. We may reduce our ownership interest in Global’s common shares through strategic sales under certain conditions.
Cash Flows
Net cash flow provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $6.7 million, as compared to $13.5 million in 2005 period. Although cash flow from operations decreased during the nine months of 2006 when compared with the same period of the prior year, the 2006 operating cash flows contained a $4.3 million reclass out of cash into short-term investments and margin deposits, while the prior year had no similar transactions. Our cash and short-term investments on hand at September 30, 2006 totaled approximately $34 million.
Net cash used in financing activities during first nine months of 2006 totaled approximately $1.4 million due primarily to the purchase of approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock. Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2006 totaled approximately $11.6 million and was primarily comprised of approximately $14.0 million in capital expenditures, $4.3 million in cash balances removed due to the deconsolidation of Global partially offset by approximately $7.5 million received from the redemption of our IBA preferred stock in January 2006.
Obligations and Commitments
GEM Capital Commitments – GEM’s 2006 capital expenditure budget includes efforts to increase its oil and gas reserves and coalbed methane prospects through acquisition, exploitation and development drilling activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, GEM has expended approximately $7.1 million of capital expenditures and workovers. The majority of these capital expenditures were associated with development drilling and completion at Point-au-Fer field, Lapeyrouse field, Allen Ranch field, workovers at Main Pass, Lake Raccourci and Lapeyrouse fields, as well as continuing additions associated with our coalbed methane projects. GEM’s remaining budgeted capital expenditures for 2006 are focused primarily on GEM’s holdings in the onshore and offshore Gulf Coast regions of Texas and Louisiana as well as the phased delineation, pilot and development program for its coalbed methane prospects. GEM expects to fund the budgeted 2006 capital expenditures with
43
available cash on hand and through projected cash flow from operations in 2006. Possible weakening commodity prices, a decline in drilling success or substantial delays in bringing on production from wells drilled could cause reduced projected 2006 expenditures. However, GEM’s planned capital expenditures for 2006 are discretionary and, as a result, will be curtailed if sufficient funds are not available. Such expenditure curtailments, however, could result in GEM losing certain prospect acreage or reducing its interest in future development projects
During August 2006, we started a new operating segment which engages in the active management of investments in energy industry securities traded on domestic securities exchanges.
Operational Contingencies — Our operations are subject to stringent and complex environmental laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations are subject to changes that may result in more restrictive or costly operations. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties or injunctive relief.
We recognize the full amount of asset retirement obligations beginning in the period in which they are incurred if a reasonable estimate of a fair value can be made. At September 30, 2006, GEM’s asset retirement obligation liability totaled approximately $7.3 million.
From time to time, we provide for reserves related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable.
In addition to the above commitments, during 2006 and afterward, government authorities under GEM’s Louisiana state leases and other North American operators may also request GEM to participate in the cost of drilling additional exploratory and development wells. GEM may fund these future expenditures at their discretion. Further, the cost of drilling or participating in the drilling of any such exploratory and development wells cannot be quantified at this time since the cost will depend on factors out of our control, such as the timing of the request, the depth of the wells and the location of the property. Our discretionary capital expenditures for 2006 will be curtailed if we do not have sufficient funds available. If we do not have sufficient funds or otherwise choose not to participate, we may experience a delay of future cash flows from proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves. Such expenditure curtailments could also result in us losing certain prospect acreage or reducing our interest in future development projects. As of September 30, 2006, we had no material purchase obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of September 30, 2006, we were not involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Treasury Stock — Our Board has authorized the repurchase of 10 million shares of common stock. To date, we have purchased approximately 4.6 million shares under this repurchase program, and approximately 5.4 million shares remain available for repurchase.
44
Adequacy of Capital Sources and Liquidity
We believe that we have the ability to provide for our 2006 operational needs and the 2006 capital program through projected operating cash flow, cash on hand, and our ability to raise capital. Our operating cash flow would be adversely affected by declines in oil and natural gas prices, which can be volatile. Should projected operating cash flow decline, we may reduce our capital expenditures program and/or consider the issuance of debt, equity and convertible debt instruments, if needed, for utilization for the capital expenditure program.
If we seek to raise equity or debt financing to fund capital expenditures or other acquisition and development opportunities, those transactions may be affected by the market value of our common stock. If the price of our common stock declines, our ability to utilize our stock either directly or indirectly through convertible instruments for raising capital could be negatively affected. Further, raising additional funds by issuing common stock or other types of equity securities could dilute our existing stockholders, which dilution could be substantial if the price of our common stock decreases. Any securities we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to our existing equity securities. Borrowing money may also involve pledging some or all of our assets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in commodity prices. Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our Investment Committee (IC). The IC is composed of our chief executive officer, the chairman of our board of directors, and one third-party consultant. Our risk management policies limit the exposure for investments made through HEMI to $20 million.
Commodity derivatives are used to mitigate the price risk inherent in our oil and gas operations. We have entered into these contracts to protect against significant decreases in commodity prices and will continue to consider various arrangements to realize commodity prices that we consider favorable.
Other derivatives are used by our trading segment to capitalize on volatility and to increase the return or minimize the risk of our overall portfolio. These financial instruments are entered into through a registered broker and are traded on domestic exchanges.
The following table summarizes our total potential obligations under our written derivative contracts as of September 30, 2006 (in thousands):
| | Contractual Expiration | | Total Notional/Maximum | | | |
| | 2007 | | 2008 | | Amount | | Fair Value | |
Written put options | | $ | 3,773 | | $ | 2,747 | | $ | 6,520 | | $ | 491 | |
Written call options | | — | | 831 | | 831 | | 126 | |
| | $ | 3,773 | | $ | 3,578 | | $ | 7,351 | | $ | 617 | |
45
We believe that the fair value of these contracts is a more relevant measure of the obligations because we believe the notional amount overstates the expected payout. With regard to the written call options, our exposure is limited to our basis in the underlying shares which we have purchased. We have no written call options for which we do not own the underlying shares.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation discussed above that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
