PENN VIRGINIA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – unaudited
September 30, 2009
1. Organization
Penn Virginia Corporation (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an independent oil and gas company primarily engaged in the development, exploration and production of natural gas and oil in various domestic onshore regions including East Texas, the Mid-Continent, Appalachia, Mississippi and the Gulf Coast. We also indirectly own partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P. (“PVR”), a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2001. Our ownership interests in PVR are held principally through our general partner interest and 51.4% limited partner interest in Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P. (“PVG”), a publicly traded limited partnership formed by us in 2006. As of September 30, 2009, PVG owned an approximately 37% limited partner interest in PVR and 100% of the general partner of PVR, which holds a 2% general partner interest in PVR and all of the incentive distribution rights.
We are engaged in three primary business segments: (i) oil and gas, (ii) coal and natural resource management and (iii) natural gas midstream. We directly operate our oil and gas segment and PVR operates our coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream segments.
2. Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penn Virginia and all of its subsidiaries, including PVG and PVR. Investments in non-controlled entities over which we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements involve the use of estimates and judgments where appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements have been included. Our consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current period’s presentation. In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events through November 5, 2009.
3. Noncontrolling Interests
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the new accounting standard on noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This standard requires that the noncontrolling interests in PVG and PVR be reported on our consolidated balance sheets as a separate item within shareholders’ equity. Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PVG and PVR is separately presented on the face of our consolidated statements of income. Our consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the adoption of this standard. Comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PVG and PVR is separately presented in our schedule of comprehensive income. The standard also requires that gains from the sales of subsidiary units be recorded directly to shareholders’ equity. If we sell sufficient controlling interests in our subsidiaries to require deconsolidation of those subsidiaries, then we expect to record a gain or loss on our consolidated statements of income.
The following is a reconciliation of the carrying amount of shareholders’ equity attributable to us, shareholders’ equity attributable to the noncontrolling interests in PVG and PVR and total shareholders’ equity:

In September 2009, we sold 10,000,000 common units of PVG owned by us for $118.1 million, which increased noncontrolling interests by $67.7 million and additional paid-in capital by $50.4 million less $17.7 million in taxes. Prior to the sale, we owned 30,077,429 PVG common units, representing a 77.0% limited partner interest in PVG. After the sale, we owned 20,077,429 PVG common units, representing a 51.4% limited partner interest in PVG.

4. Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the new accounting standard on fair value measurements and disclosures applicable to both our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. Our financial instruments that are subject to fair value disclosures consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, assets held for sale, accounts payable, derivative instruments and long-term debt. We have followed consistent methods and assumptions to estimate the fair values as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition to those methods, the fair value of assets held for sale was derived using a market approach based on indications of interest from potential third-party purchasers of the assets. At September 30, 2009, the carrying values of all of these financial instruments, except the portion of long-term debt attributable to our 4.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Convertible Notes”), approximated fair value. The fair value of the portion of our long-term debt attributable to the Convertible Notes at September 30, 2009 was $206.9 million, which was derived from quoted market prices.

Commodity Derivatives
Oil and Gas Segment
We determine the fair values of our oil and gas derivative agreements using third-party quoted forward prices for NYMEX Henry Hub gas and West Texas Intermediate crude oil as of the end of the reporting period and discount rates adjusted for the credit risk of our counterparties if the derivative in an asset position and our own credit risk if the derivative is in a liability position. ��The following table sets forth our oil and gas commodity derivative positions as of September 30, 2009:

See the “Financial Statement Impact of Derivatives” section below for the impact of PVR’s natural gas midstream commodity derivatives on our consolidated financial statements.
Interest Rate Swaps
In 2006, we entered into interest rate swaps (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with notional amounts of $50.0 million to establish fixed interest rates on a portion of the then outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) through December 2010. During the first quarter of 2009, we discontinued hedge accounting for all of the Interest Rate Swaps. Accordingly, subsequent fair value gains and losses for the Interest Rate Swaps were recognized in the derivative line item on our consolidated statements of income.
We reported a net derivative liability of $2.9 million at September 30, 2009 related to the Interest Rate Swaps. In September 2009, we paid off all amounts outstanding under the Revolver and, as a result, we reclassified the net hedging losses remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) related to the Interest Rate Swaps from AOCI to interest expense. In connection with periodic settlements and the pay down of the Revolver, we reclassified a total of $3.4 million of net hedging losses on the Interest Rate Swaps from AOCI to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. See the “Financial Statement Impact of Derivatives” section below for the impact of the Interest Rate Swaps on our consolidated financial statements.

PVR Interest Rate Swaps
PVR has entered into interest rate swaps (the “PVR Interest Rate Swaps”) to establish fixed interest rates on a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility (the “PVR Revolver”). The following table sets forth the PVR Interest Rate Swap positions at September 30, 2009:
Dates | Notional Amounts | Weighted-Average Fixed Rate | ||||||
(in millions) | ||||||||
Until March 2010 | $ | 310.0 | 3.54 | % | ||||

December 2011 - December 2012 | $ | 100.0 | 2.09 | % |
During the first quarter of 2009, PVR discontinued hedge accounting for all of the PVR Interest Rate Swaps. Accordingly, subsequent fair value gains and losses for the PVR Interest Rate Swaps are recognized in the derivatives line item on our consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2009, a $2.2 million loss remained in AOCI related to the PVR Interest Rate Swaps. The $2.2 million loss will be recognized in interest expense as the PVR Interest Rate Swaps settle.
PVR reported a (i) net derivative liability of $11.2 million at September 30, 2009 and (ii) loss in AOCI of $2.2 million at September 30, 2009 related to the PVR Interest Rate Swaps. In connection with periodic settlements, PVR reclassified a total of $2.6 million of net hedging losses on the PVR Interest Rate Swaps from AOCI to interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. See the “Financial Statement Impact of Derivatives” section below for the impact of the PVR Interest Rate Swaps on our consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2009, we reported a commodity derivative asset related to our oil and gas segment of $13.4 million. At September 30, 2009, we reported a commodity derivative asset related to the PVR natural gas midstream segment of $4.8 million. The contracts underlying such commodity derivative asset are with four counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and such commodity derivative asset is substantially concentrated with one of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Neither we nor PVR paid or received collateral with respect to our or PVR’s derivative positions. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk if counterparties to our or PVR’s derivative asset positions fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts would be equal to the fair value of the contracts as of September 30, 2009. No significant uncertainties related to the collectability of amounts owed to us or PVR exist with regard to these counterparties.
The above-described hedging activity represents cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2009, neither we nor PVR owned any derivative instruments that were classified as fair value hedges or trading securities or that contained credit risk contingencies.
6. Common Stock Offering
On May 22, 2009, we completed the sale of 3.5 million shares of our common stock in a registered public offering. The net sales proceeds of $64.8 million were used to repay borrowings under the Revolver.
7. Long-Term Debt
The long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 consisted of our 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Senior Notes”), the Convertible Notes and PVR’s outstanding debt under the PVR Revolver. There was no debt outstanding under the Revolver as of September 30, 2009.
10
In June 2009, we issued and sold $300.0 million of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2016 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375%. The Senior Notes were sold at 97% of par, equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes of $281.6 million were used to repay borrowings under the Revolver. The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our oil and gas subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Revolver. See Note 8, “Guarantor Subsidiaries.”
In December 2007, we issued and sold $230.0 million of Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2012 and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50%. See Note 9, “Convertible Notes.”
In June 2009, the borrowing base under the Revolver was revised from $450.0 million to $367.0 million due to the issuance of the Senior Notes. The Revolver, which matures in December 2010, is secured by a portion of our proved reserves. As of December 31, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolver was approximately 2.6%. As of September 30, 2009, we had no debt outstanding under the Revolver. Interest is payable at a base rate plus an applicable margin of ranging from 1.125% to 2.125% if we select the base rate borrowing option under the Revolver, or at a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% if we select the LIBOR-based borrowing option.
In March 2009, PVR increased the size of the PVR Revolver from $700.0 million to $800.0 million, which resulted in $9.3 million of debt issuance costs that will be amortized over the remaining life of the PVR Revolver. The PVR Revolver is secured with substantially all of PVR’s assets. The December 2011 maturity date for the PVR Revolver did not change. As of September 30, 2009, all of PVR’s long-term debt was indebtedness outstanding under the PVR Revolver. PVR’s debt is non-recourse to us and PVG. Interest is payable at a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.25% if PVR selects the base rate borrowing option under the PVR Revolver, or at a rate derived from the LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% if PVR selects the LIBOR-based borrowing option. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the PVR Revolver was approximately 2.5% and 3.2%.

8. Guarantors Subsidiaries
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally and joint and severally guaranteed by our oil and gas subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The primary non-guarantor subsidiaries are PVG and PVR (collectively, the “Non-guarantor Subsidiaries”). As such, the Company is subject to the requirements Rule 3-10(f) of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding financial statements of guarantors and issuers of registered guaranteed securities.

9. Convertible Notes
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted the new accounting standard regarding convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, and accounted for the adoption of this standard as a change in accounting principle. This standard therefore been applied retroactively to all periods presented.
Because the Convertible Notes can be settled wholly or partly in cash upon conversion into our common stock, this standard requires us to account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when measuring interest cost of the Convertible Notes. The value assigned to the liability component was the estimated value of a similar debt issuance without the conversion feature as of the issuance date in December 2007. Transaction costs associated with issuing the instrument were allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the original proceeds and were accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs. In addition, recognizing the Convertible Notes as two separate components resulted in a tax basis difference associated with the liability component that represents a temporary difference. Because the liability component was valued exclusive of the conversion feature, the Convertible Notes were recorded at a discount reflecting the below-market coupon interest rate. This discount is accreted through additional interest expense to par value over the remaining expected life of the debt of approximately four years.
The following tables reflect the effects of adopting the standard on our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008:

(1) | Represents additional interest expense that would have been recorded related to the debt discount had the standard been in place when the Convertible Notes were issued. This increase is partially offset by variances in capitalized interest and the amortization of debt issuance costs, which resulted from the separation of the debt and equity components of the Convertible Notes. |

The net carrying amount of the liability component is reported as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of the equity component is reported in paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheets. The discount amortization is recorded in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income. The following table reflects the carrying amounts of the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes:

The unamortized discount will be amortized through the end of 2012. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 8.5%. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized $2.6 million and $7.8 million of interest expense related to the contractual coupon rate on the Convertible Notes and $1.7 million and $5.0 million of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount.
The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash up to the principal amount thereof and shares of our common stock, if any, in respect of the excess conversion value, based on an initial conversion rate of 17.316 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.75 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment, and, if not converted or repurchased earlier, will mature on November 15, 2012.
10. Impairments
Other Impairments
We review long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted estimated future cash flows related to that asset.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded impairment charges related to our oil and gas segment properties and tubular inventories of $4.5 million. Of this amount, $3.7 million resulted from market declines in the spot and future oil and gas prices and $0.8 million related to our tubular inventory valuation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded impairment charges related to our oil and gas segment properties and tubular inventories of $8.9 million. Of this amount, $4.1 million related to our tubular inventory valuation and $4.8 million resulted from market declines in the spot and future oil and gas prices.
Impairments on Assets Held for Sale
As of September 30, 2009, certain oil and gas properties located in Texas, Louisiana and North Dakota were classified as current assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We completed the sale of the North Dakota properties in October 2009 and expect to complete the sale of the Louisiana and Texas properties in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of classifying these assets as held for sale, we incurred an impairment charge of $87.9 million to record the assets at fair value less costs to sell. Anticipated sales prices are difficult to predict and subject to revision in future periods. Due to the uncertainty of the sale process, we cannot predict when or if future impairment charges or gains or losses on the sales of these assets will be recorded. These anticipated asset dispositions did not qualify for accounting as discontinued operations because we expect to redeploy the proceeds of the sale in the same geographic area.
19
11. Earnings per Share
On January 1, 2009, we adopted the new accounting standard which determines whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. Under this standard, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings per share are determined for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. We have determined that our unvested phantom stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are participating securities for purposes of this standard.
We also adopted the new accounting standard applicable to the Convertible Notes. See Note 9, “Convertible Notes.” This standard also had an effect on our earnings per share. We applied both new standards retroactively to all periods presented as required.
The following tables set forth the effect of the retroactive application of the new standards as of January 1, 2009 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

12. Share-Based Compensation
On a consolidated basis, we recognized a total of $3.7 million and $2.5 million of compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $11.6 million and $7.0 million of compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 related to our, PVG’s and PVR’s equity-based compensation plans. We record compensation expense in the general and administrative expenses line item on our consolidated statements of income.
Stock Compensation Plans
Our stock compensation plans permit the grant of common stock, deferred common stock units, restricted stock and phantom stock to our employees and directors. We recognized compensation expense of $2.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $7.4 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 related to the granting of common stock and deferred common stock units under our stock compensation plans and the vesting of restricted stock and phantom stock granted under our stock compensation plans. Common stock and deferred common stock units granted under our stock compensation plans are immediately vested, and we recognize compensation expense related to those grants on the grant date. Restricted stock and phantom stock granted under our stock compensation plans vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year, and we recognize compensation expense related to those grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
PVR Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Penn Virginia Resource GP, LLC Fifth Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PVR LTIP”) permits the grant of common units, deferred common units, restricted units and phantom units to employees and directors of its general partner and its affiliates. PVR recognized compensation expense of $1.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $3.9 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 related to the granting of common and deferred common units under the PVR LTIP and the vesting of restricted units and phantom units granted under the PVR LTIP. Common units and deferred common units granted under the LTIP are immediately vested, and PVR recognizes compensation expense related to those grants on the grant date. Restricted units and phantom units granted under the PVR LTIP vest over a three-year period, with one-third vesting in each year, and PVR recognizes compensation expense related to those grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
PVG Long-Term Incentive Plan
The PVG GP, LLC Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “PVG LTIP”) likewise permits the grant of common units, deferred common units, restricted units and phantom units to its employees and directors of its general partner and affiliates. PVG recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $0.3 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 related to the granting of deferred common units under the PVG LTIP.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Drilling Rig Commitments and Standby Charges
In the first quarter of 2009, our oil and gas segment reduced its drilling program due to unfavorable economic conditions. In conjunction with the drilling program reduction, we amended certain drilling rig contracts to delay commencement of drilling until January 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized charges of $20.3 million for cancellation fees, minimum daily standby fees and demobilization fees. These fees and costs were recorded as exploration expense on our consolidated statements of income. We will continue to evaluate economic conditions through the remainder of 2009 to determine whether or not to commence drilling prior to January 2010, which could result in a refund of some expense. We will also evaluate economic conditions through the remainder of 2009 to determine whether or not to defer additional drilling. Deferring drilling until January 2010 could result in additional exploration expenses of up to $1.7 million for the remainder of 2009.
Legal
We and PVR are involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that these claims will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Environmental Compliance
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PVR’s environmental liabilities were $1.1 million and $1.2 million, which represents PVR’s best estimate of the liabilities as of those dates related to its coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream businesses. PVR has reclamation bonding requirements with respect to certain unleased and inactive properties. Given the uncertainty of when a reclamation area will meet regulatory standards, a change in this estimate could occur in the future.
Mine Health and Safety Laws
There are numerous mine health and safety laws and regulations applicable to the coal mining industry. However, since PVR does not operate any mines and does not employ any coal miners, PVR is not subject to such laws and regulations. Accordingly, we have not accrued any related liabilities.
Significant Customer
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, one PVR natural gas midstream segment customer accounted for $83.0 million, or 14%, of our total consolidated revenues. At September 30, 2009, 8% of our consolidated accounts receivable related to this customer.
14. Segment Information
Our reportable segments are as follows:
• | Oil and Gas—crude oil and natural gas exploration, development and production. |
• | PVR Coal and Natural Resource Management—leasing of coal properties in exchange for royalty payments and other land management activities. |
• | PVR Natural Gas Midstream—natural gas processing, gathering and other related services. |
The other line item primarily represents corporate functions and the elimination of intercompany sales.

15. New Accounting Standards
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on how to measure the fair value of a liability when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. It also includes other clarifications and examples of how to measure the fair value of certain liabilities, including those that have limited or no observable data. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and we will adopt it effective fourth quarter 2009.
16. Suspended Well Costs
An exploratory well that was pending determination of proved reserves as of December 31, 2008 was subsequently determined to be successful during the third quarter 2009. Accordingly, we reclassified $2.5 million of suspended exploratory drilling costs related to this well to proved property and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Penn Virginia Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Penn Virginia,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in Item 1, “Financial Statements.”
Overview of Business
We are an independent oil and gas company primarily engaged in the development, exploration and production of natural gas and oil in various domestic onshore regions including East Texas, the Mid-Continent, Appalachia, Mississippi and the Gulf Coast. We also indirectly own partner interests in Penn Virginia Resource Partners, L.P., or PVR, which is engaged in the coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream businesses. Our ownership interests in PVR are held principally through our general partner interest and our 51.4% limited partner interest in Penn Virginia GP Holdings, L.P., or PVG. As of September 30, 2009, PVG owned an approximately 37% limited partner interest in PVR and 100% of the general partner of PVR, which holds a 2% general partner interest in PVR and all of the incentive distribution rights.
Although results are consolidated for financial reporting, Penn Virginia, PVG and PVR operate with independent capital structures. As such, cash flow available to us from PVG and PVR is only in the form of cash distributions declared and paid to us on account of our partner interests in those entities. We received cash distributions from PVG and PVR of $34.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $21.5 million for same period of 2008. These distributions were primarily used for oil and gas segment capital expenditures.
The following diagram depicts our ownership of PVG and PVR as of September 30, 2009:

Results of Operations
Oil and Gas Segment
We have a geographically diverse asset base with core regions of operation in the East Texas, Mid-Continent, Appalachian and Mississippi regions of the United States. The growth profile of our oil and gas segment was accomplished primarily by drilling oil and natural gas wells in our operating regions and, to a lesser extent, by making acquisitions of both producing properties and undeveloped leases. In response to significantly lower internal cash flows due to reduced energy commodity prices and the continued weakness in global financial markets, which have adversely impacted our ability to fund a growth oriented capital spending program, we have limited our capital spending in 2009 to more closely mirror internally generated cash flow.

Total | 12,410 | 11,690 | 39,672 | 33,655 |
Total production increased by 0.7 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe), or 6%, from 11.7 Bcfe in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 12.4 Bcfe in the same period of 2009 primarily due to continued development of the Granite Wash play in the Mid-Continent region, partially offset by production declines in the East Texas and Gulf Coast regions. We had an active drilling program in the East Texas region in the last half of 2008 through the first quarter of 2009, then we deferred drilling in this area until early 2010.
Total production increased by 6.0 Bcfe, or 18%, from 33.7 Bcfe in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 39.7 Bcfe in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher production in the Mid-Continent, East Texas and Mississippi regions. The increase in production was due to continued development of the Granite Wash play in the Mid-Continent region, the horizontal Lower Bossier (Haynesville) Shale play in the East Texas region and the horizontal Selma Chalk play in Mississippi.
Revenues. Our revenues, consisting of natural gas, crude oil, natural gas liquid, or NGL, and other income, decreased by $100.9 million, or 64%, from $156.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $55.8 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to decreases in commodity prices and other income. Our revenues decreased by $207.3 million, or 54%, from $383.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $176.1 million in the same period of 2009 due largely to lower commodity prices, offset by an increase in production. Realized prices are before the impacts of our commodity derivatives, which are further discussed under “Effects of Derivatives” below.
Natural Gas. Natural gas revenues decreased by $65.2 million, or 64%, from $101.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $36.7 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $65.2 million decrease, $71.2 million was the result of lower realized prices for natural gas, partially offset by $6.0 million resulting from higher natural gas production from development drilling. Our average realized price received for natural gas decreased by $6.69 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf), or 66%, from $10.14 per Mcf in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.45 per Mcf in the same period of 2009.
Natural gas revenues decreased by $166.3 million, or 56%, from $295.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $129.3 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $166.3 million decrease, $205.8 million was the result of lower realized prices for natural gas, partially offset by $39.5 million resulting from higher natural gas production from development drilling. Our average realized price received for natural gas decreased by $6.08 per Mcf, or 61%, from $9.90 per Mcf in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.82 per Mcf in the same period of 2009.
Crude Oil. Crude oil revenues decreased by $0.5 million, or 4%, from $13.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $13.3 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $0.5 million decrease, $10.0 million was the result of lower realized prices for crude oil, partially offset by an increase of $10.0 million resulting from higher crude oil production related to development drilling. Our average realized price received for crude oil decreased by $52.00 per barrel (Bbl), or 44%, from $117.64 per Bbl in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $65.64 per Bbl in the same period of 2009.
Crude oil revenues decreased by $6.0 million, or 16%, from $37.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $31.4 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $6.0 million decrease, $35.1 million was the result of lower realized prices for crude oil, partially offset by an increase of $29.1 million resulting from higher crude oil production related to developmental drilling. Our average realized price received for crude oil decreased by $59.70 per Bbl, or 53%, from $113.12 per Bbl in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $53.42 per Bbl in the same period of 2009.
28
NGL. NGL revenues decreased by $7.7 million, or 73%, from $10.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.8 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $7.7 million decrease, $4.2 million was due to a decline in volume and $3.4 million was the result of lower realized prices for NGLs. Our average realized price received for NGLs decreased by $36.47 per Bbl, or 55%, from $66.76 per Bbl in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $30.29 per Bbl in the same period of 2009.
NGL revenues decreased by $8.3 million, or 44%, from $18.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $10.6 million in the same period of 2009. Of the $8.3 million decrease, $13.4 million was due to lower realized prices for NGLs, partially offset by an increase of $5.1 million resulting from additional volume, which was attributable to a new processing plant in the East Texas region. Our average realized price received for NGLs decreased by $35.26 per Bbl, or 56%, from $62.96 per Bbl in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $27.70 per Bbl in the same period of 2009.
Effects of Derivatives. Our revenues may vary significantly from period to period as a result of variances in commodity prices or production volumes. As part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative financial instruments to hedge natural gas and oil prices. Our commodity derivative contracts do not follow hedge accounting and are not reported as revenues in our consolidated statements of income. For derivatives related to our oil and gas segment, we received $16.4 million and $48.9 million in cash settlements in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, and we paid $5.7 million and $13.5 million in cash settlements in the same periods of 2008.

Other Income. Other income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased from the comparative periods of 2008 due to a $30.5 million gain on the sale of oil and gas properties in the third quarter of 2008.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses decreased by $1.8 million, or 12%, from $15.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $13.3 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower repair and maintenance costs and lower water disposal fees, which decreased primarily because of the addition of water disposal facilities. On a per thousand cubic feet equivalent (Mcfe) basis, operating expenses decreased from $1.29 per Mcfe for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.07 per Mcfe in the same period of 2009 due lower costs and higher production.
29
Operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 1%, from $43.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $42.8 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher gathering and processing fees resulting from higher production in several regions, partially offset by lower repair and maintenance costs and lower water disposal fees. On a per Mcfe basis, operating expenses decreased from $1.29 per Mcfe for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.08 per Mcfe in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher production.
Taxes Other Than Income. Taxes other than income decreased by $2.3 million, or 35%, from $6.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $4.2 million in the same period of 2009. Taxes other than income decreased by $6.7 million, or 34%, from $19.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $12.8 million in the same period of 2009. The decreases for both periods were primarily due to timing of refunds and lower severance taxes resulting from lower commodity prices, partially offset by higher production.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses remained constant at $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 7%, from $14.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $16.0 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher payroll and employee benefit costs.
Exploration Expenses. Exploration expenses increased by $7.8 million, or 94%, from $8.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $16.1 million in the same period in 2009 and increased by $35.1 million, or 177%, from $19.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $54.9 million in the same period in 2009. The following table summarizes the components of exploration expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

Unproved leasehold expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 124%, from $4.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $10.3 million in the same period of 2009 and increased by $17.6 million, or 157%, from $11.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $28.8 million in the same period of 2009. These increases were primarily due to a change we made to our accounting process effective January 1, 2009 to amortize additional insignificant unproved properties over the average estimated life of the leases rather than amortizing some leases and assessing other leases on an occurrence basis.
Standby rig charges totaled $3.7 million and $20.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to zero in the comparative 2008 periods. In the first quarter of 2009, we reduced our drilling program in our oil and gas segment due to unfavorable economic conditions. In conjunction with the drilling program reduction, we amended certain drilling rig contracts to delay commencement of drilling until January 2010. As a result, we recognized standby rig charges for cancellation fees, minimum daily standby fees and demobilization fees as exploration expense in our consolidated statements of income. Based on the timing of remobilizing the drilling rigs, we could incur additional exploration expenses of up to $0.6 million for the remainder of 2009.
Impairment on Assets Held for Sale. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $87.9 million of impairments. As of September 30, 2009, certain oil and gas properties located in Texas, Louisiana and North Dakota were classified as current assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet. We completed the sale of the North Dakota properties in October 2009 and expect to complete the sale of the Louisiana and Texas properties in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of classifying these assets as held for sale, we incurred an impairment charge of $87.9 million to record the assets at fair value less costs to sell.
Other Impairments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded $4.5 million and $8.9 million of impairments. The impairment charge of $4.5 million included $0.8 million of inventory re-evaluation and $3.7 million of other impairments. The impairment charges of $8.9 million included $4.1 million of re-evaluation related to our tubular inventory due to decline in market value and $4.8 million of other impairments.
30
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 20%, from $32.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $39.3 million in the same period of 2009. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased by $28.4 million, or 31%, from $90.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $119.2 million in the same period of 2009. The increases for both periods were due to an increase in equivalent production and higher depletion rates, which were caused by higher cost wells being drilled.
PVR Coal and Natural Resource Management Segment
As of December 31, 2008, PVR owned or controlled approximately 827 million tons of proven and probable coal reserves in Central and Northern Appalachia, the San Juan Basin and the Illinois Basin. PVR enters into long-term leases with experienced, third-party mine operators, providing them the right to mine PVR’s coal reserves in exchange for royalty payments. PVR actively works with its lessees to develop efficient methods to exploit its reserves and to maximize production from its properties. PVR does not operate any mines. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, PVR’s lessees produced 25.9 million tons of coal from PVR’s properties and paid to PVR coal royalties revenues of $90.4 million, for an average royalty per ton of $3.50 ($3.33 per ton net of coal royalties expenses). Approximately 82% of PVR’s coal royalties revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was derived from coal mined on PVR’s properties under leases containing royalty rates based on the higher of a fixed base price or a percentage of the gross sales price. The balance of PVR’s coal royalties revenues for the respective periods was derived from coal mined on PVR’s properties under leases containing fixed royalty rates that escalate annually.
PVR also earns revenues from other land management activities, such as selling standing timber, leasing fee-based coal-related infrastructure facilities to certain lessees and end-user industrial plants, collecting oil and gas royalties and from coal transportation, or wheelage, fees.
The deterioration of the global economy, including financial and credit markets, has reduced worldwide demand for coal with resultant price declines. Depending on the longevity and ultimate severity of the deterioration, demand for coal may continue to decline, which could adversely affect production and pricing for coal mined by PVR’s lessees, and, consequently, adversely affect the royalty income received by PVR and PVR’s ability to make cash distributions to its partners. The deterioration of the global economy has also adversely affected credit availability and PVR’s access to new capital. This limited access to capital and credit availability has and could continue to hamper PVR’s ability to fund acquisitions, potentially restricting future growth potential.

(1) | PVR’s coal royalties expenses are incurred primarily in the Central Appalachian region. |
Production. Coal production decreased by 0.1 million tons, or 1%, from 8.5 million tons in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 8.4 million tons in the same period of 2009. This decrease was primarily driven by decreased longwall production in the Northern Appalachian region resulting from adverse geological conditions hampering production and recovery. Additionally, there were decreases in the Central Appalachia region primarily attributable to production cutbacks due to a depressed coal market. 2009 production in the Central Appalachian region also decreased due to cutbacks in longwall mining operations that were prevalent during 2008. Production from one of PVR’s lessees ceased in the third quarter of 2008 as its operations moved onto adjacent reserves. These production decreases were partially offset by production increases in both the Illinois and San Juan Basins. The Illinois Basin production increased primarily due to the recognition of royalties and tonnages for previously mined reserves held in escrow pending property ownership research. The San Juan Basin benefited from the start up of a second mine and improved mining conditions in the region.
Coal production increased by 0.9 million tons, or 4%, from 25.0 million tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 25.9 million tons in the same period of 2009. The year to date increase in production primarily resulted from the start up of a second mine and improved mining conditions in the San Juan Basin, as well as the third quarter 2009 royalty and tonnage adjustment in the Illinois Basin for previously mined reserves temporarily held in escrow as ownership research was conducted. Partially offsetting these increases was the decline of 2009 production in the Central Appalachian region primarily in response to a depressed coal market, most notably in the metallurgical market where coal demand has fallen drastically since the third quarter of 2008. Also contributing to the production decrease in the Central Appalachia region was the reduction in longwall mining activity compared to the same period in 2008.
Revenues. Net coal royalties revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 10%, from $31.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $28.2 million in the same period of 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower coal sales prices in Central Appalachia which in turn resulted in lower royalty revenues, and, to a lesser extent, to lower coal volumes sold from PVR’s properties. The average net coal royalty per ton, which represents the average coal royalties revenues per ton net of coal royalties expenses per ton, decreased by $0.30 per ton, or 8%, from $3.67 per ton in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.37 per ton in the same period of 2009. This decrease was attributable to a $0.36 per ton decrease in average coal royalties revenues per ton, partially offset by a $0.06 per ton decrease in coal royalties expenses. Average coal royalties revenues per ton decreased the most in the Central Appalachian region primarily due to significantly reduced demand for metallurgical coal in the international coal markets.
33
Coal services revenues remained relatively constant from the three months ended September 30, 2008 to the same period of 2009. Timber revenues decreased by $0.3 million, or 16%, from $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.6 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower sales prices resulting from weakened market conditions for furniture-grade wood products. Oil and gas royalties revenues decreased by $1.4 million, or 74%, from $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.5 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower natural gas prices. Other revenues, which consisted primarily of wheelage fees, forfeiture income and management fees, decreased by $1.3 million, or 48%, from $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower wheelage income.
Net coal royalties revenues increased by $5.2 million, or 6%, from $80.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $86.1 million in the same period of 2009. This increase was attributable to increases in both production and average net coal sales prices received by PVR’s lessees. The average net coal royalty per ton increased by $0.09 per ton, or 3%, from $3.24 per ton in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $3.33 per ton in the same period of 2009. This increase was attributable to both an increase in the average coal royalties revenues per ton for most regions, especially in the Illinois Basin, where new contract pricing has generated higher gross sales prices for tonnages in that region, and lower coal royalties expenses caused by lower production from certain subleased properties.
Coal services revenues remained relatively constant from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the same period of 2009. Timber revenues decreased by $0.9 million, or 17%, from $5.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $4.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower sales prices resulting from weakened market conditions for furniture-grade wood products. Oil and gas royalties revenues decreased by $2.9 million, or 62%, from $4.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.8 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower natural gas prices. Other revenues remained relatively constant from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the same period of 2009.
Expenses. Other operating expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 25%, from $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.6 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower expenses related to core drilling and mine maintenance costs for which PVR is contractually obligated. Taxes other than income and general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant from the three months ended September 30, 2008 to the same period of 2009. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 9%, from $8.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $8.0 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to lower depletion expenses for PVR’s mining and timber operations.
Other operating expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 47%, from $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $2.2 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher expenses related to PVR’s timber operations and costs incurred under PVR’s contractual obligations for mine maintenance. Taxes other than income remained relatively constant from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to the same period of 2009. General and administrative costs increased by $1.0 million, or 10%, from $9.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $10.8 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher staffing and related employee benefit costs. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 4%, from $22.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $23.6 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher depletion expenses for PVR’s mining and timber operations.
PVR Natural Gas Midstream Segment
The PVR natural gas midstream segment provides natural gas processing, gathering and other related services. As of September 30, 2009, PVR owned and operated natural gas midstream assets located in Oklahoma and Texas, including six natural gas processing facilities having 400 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd) of total capacity and approximately 4,069 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines. The PVR natural gas midstream business earns revenues primarily from gas processing contracts with natural gas producers and from fees charged for gathering natural gas volumes and providing other related services. In addition, PVR owns a 25% member interest in Thunder Creek Gas Services, LLC, or Thunder Creek, a joint venture that gathers and transports coalbed methane in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. PVR also owns a natural gas marketing business, which aggregates third-party volumes and sells those volumes into intrastate pipeline systems and at market hubs accessed by various interstate pipelines.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, PVR completed a 40 MMcfd plant expansion in its Beaver/Spearman complex, or the Panhandle System, in Texas and Oklahoma in July and acquired an additional 60 MMcfd plant in Oklahoma that began accepting gas on September 1, 2009. This additional processing capacity allows PVR to process all of its Panhandle natural gas through PVR’s own facilities and eliminate fees paid to third parties for processing services. PVR also acquired a 50% member interest in a residue pipeline connected to its east Texas processing plant.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, system throughput volumes at PVR’s gas processing plants and gathering systems, including gathering-only volumes, were 93.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or approximately 342 MMcfd. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, 23% of the PVR natural gas midstream segment’s revenues and 14% of our total consolidated revenues were derived from one of the PVR natural gas midstream segment’s customers, Conoco, Inc.
34
PVR continually seeks new supplies of natural gas to offset the natural declines in production from the wells currently connected to its systems and to increase system throughput volumes. New natural gas supplies are obtained for all of PVR’s systems by contracting for production from new wells, connecting new wells drilled on dedicated acreage and contracting for natural gas that has been released from competitors’ systems. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the PVR natural gas midstream segment made aggregate capital expenditures of $72.0 million, primarily related to PVR’s Panhandle System in Texas and Oklahoma.
Revenues, profitability and the future rate of growth of the PVR natural gas midstream segment are highly dependent on market demand and prevailing natural gas liquid, or NGL, and natural gas prices. NGL and natural gas prices have been subject to significant volatility in recent years in response to changes in the supply and demand for NGL products and natural gas market demand. The deterioration of the global economy has resulted in a decrease in demand for natural gas and NGLs. Depending on the longevity and ultimate severity of the deterioration, NGL production from its processing plants could decrease and adversely affect PVR’s natural gas midstream processing income and PVR’s ability to make cash distributions. The deterioration of the global economy has also adversely affected credit availability and PVR’s access to new capital. This limited access to capital and credit availability has and could continue to hamper PVR’s ability to fund acquisitions, potentially restricting future growth potential.

(1) | In the three months ended September 30, 2009, PVR recorded $15.1 million of natural gas midstream revenues and $15.1 million for the cost of midstream gas purchased related to the purchase of natural gas from Penn Virginia Oil & Gas, L.P., or PVOG LP, and the subsequent sale of that gas to third parties. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, PVR recorded $56.4 million of natural gas midstream revenues and $56.4 million for the cost of midstream gas purchased related to the purchase of natural gas from PVOG LP and the subsequent sale of that gas to third parties. PVR takes title to the gas prior to transporting it to third parties. |
35
Gross Margin. PVR’s gross margin is the difference between PVR’s natural gas midstream revenues and PVR’s cost of midstream gas purchased. Natural gas midstream revenues include residue gas sold from processing plants after NGLs are removed, NGLs sold after being removed from system throughput volumes received, condensate collected and sold and gathering and other fees primarily from natural gas volumes connected to PVR’s gas processing plants. Cost of midstream gas purchased consists of amounts payable to third-party producers for natural gas purchased under percentage-of-proceeds and gas purchase/keep-whole contracts.
The 13% gross margin decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008 was primarily due to lower commodity pricing and frac spreads. Frac spreads are the difference between the price of NGLs sold and the cost of natural gas purchased on a per million British thermal unit (MMBtu) basis. The gross margin decrease was partially offset by margins earned from higher system throughput volumes.
System throughput volumes increased by 22 MMcfd, or 7%, from 302 MMcfd in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 324 MMcfd in the same period of 2009 primarily due to the continued successful development by producers operating in the vicinity of the Panhandle System, as well as PVR’s success in contracting and connecting new supply.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, PVR generated a majority of its gross margin from contractual arrangements under which the gross margin is exposed to increases and decreases in the price of natural gas and NGLs. As part of its risk management strategy, PVR uses derivative financial instruments to economically hedge NGLs sold and natural gas purchased. See Note 5, “Derivative Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for a description of PVR’s derivatives program. Adjusted for the cash impact of PVR’s commodity derivative instruments, PVR’s gross margin increased by $10.6 million, or 61%, from $17.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $28.1 million in the same period of 2009. On a per Mcf basis, adjusted for the cash impact of PVR’s commodity derivatives, PVR’s gross margin increased by $0.31 per Mcf, or 49%, from $0.63 per Mcf in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.94 per Mcf in the same period of 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to changes in commodity prices and the mix of PVR’s commodity derivatives.
The 27% gross margin decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008 was a result of lower commodity pricing and frac spreads, partially offset by margins earned from higher system throughput volumes.
System throughput volumes increased by 90 MMcfd, or 36%, from 252 MMcfd in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 342 MMcfd in the same period of 2009 primarily due to the continued successful development by producers operating in the vicinity of the Panhandle System, as well as PVR’s success in contracting and connecting new supply. The Crossroads plant in East Texas, which became fully operational in April 2008, and the acquisition of PVR’s North Texas gathering system, which was consummated in the third quarter of 2008, also contributed to the volume increase.
Adjusted for the cash impact of PVR’s commodity derivative instruments, PVR’s gross margin increased by $14.7 million, or 25%, from $58.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $72.9 million in the same period of 2009. On a per Mcf basis, adjusted for the cash impact of PVR’s commodity derivatives, PVR’s gross margin decreased by $0.07 per Mcf, or 8%, from $0.85 per Mcf in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.78 per Mcf in the same period of 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to the addition of lower margin fixed fee volumes at the Crossroads plant and from PVR’s recently acquired North Texas gathering system.
Equity Earnings in Equity Investment. PVR’s equity earnings increased in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods of 2008 primarily as a result of revenues generated from PVR’s 25% member interest in the Thunder Creek joint venture that gathers and transports coalbed methane in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin. In 2009, revenues from this joint venture have grown primarily due to mainline volume increases despite the reduction in drilling in the Powder River Basin.
Producer Services Revenues. Producer services revenues decreased by $1.0 million, or 71%, from $1.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $0.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to a negative relative change in the natural gas indices on which PVR’s purchases and sales of natural gas are based and a decrease in marketing fees resulting from lower commodity prices.
Producer services revenues decreased by $3.9 million, or 80%, from $4.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $1.0 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to a negative relative change in the natural gas indices on which PVR’s purchases and sales of natural gas are based and a decrease in marketing fees resulting from lower commodity prices.
36
Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 11%, from $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $6.9 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher costs for compressor rentals related to PVR’s expanding footprint in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 11%, from $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $4.2 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher staffing and related employee benefit costs. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 22%, from $8.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $9.9 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to capital spending on expansion projects, such as the Spearman and Crossroads plants, and PVR’s recent acquisitions.
Operating expenses increased by $5.4 million, or 36%, from $15.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $20.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher costs for compressor rentals, employee costs and general supplies needed to operate assets in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 20%, from $10.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $12.7 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to higher staffing and related employee benefit costs. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $9.8 million, or 53%, from $18.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $28.4 million in the same period of 2009 primarily due to capital spending on expansion projects, such as the Spearman and Crossroads plants, and PVR’s recent acquisitions.

Our interest expense for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased from the comparative periods in 2008 due to increased borrowings as a result of our oil and gas capital expenditures program and the issuance of our 10.375% Senior Notes due 2016, or the Senior Notes, in June 2009.
PVR’s interest expense for three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased by 8% from the comparative period of 2008 primarily due to lower interest rates. PVR’s interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 6% from the comparative period in 2008 due to an increase in PVR’s weighted average debt balance. This increase was due to PVR’s past capital spending program, including acquisitions, and an increase in non-cash interest expense related to debt issuance costs, partially offset by lower interest rates.
Derivatives. Consolidated derivative losses were $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to consolidated derivative gains of $125.1 million in the same period of 2008. Consolidated derivative gains were $8.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to consolidated derivative losses of $4.4 million in the same period of 2008. These gains and losses were due primarily to volatility in natural gas, NGL and crude oil prices. We determine the fair values of our commodity derivative agreements using quoted forward prices for these commodities. Cash received for settlements in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $16.4 million and cash paid for settlements was $5.7 million in the same period of 2008. Cash received for settlements in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $48.9 million and cash paid for settlements was $13.5 million in the same period of 2008.

Other. Other income primarily consists of interest income and gains on sales of securities.
Income Tax Benefit. We recognized an income tax benefit of $50.4 million and $69.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to an income tax expense of $78.9 million and $74.4 million for the same periods in 2008. The 2009 income tax benefit is a result of a net loss before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. We expect to realize any income tax benefits created in 2009 by amending prior year tax returns and carrying forward any excess income tax benefits.
Noncontrolling Interests. Noncontrolling interests represent net income allocated to the limited partner units of PVG owned by the public. See Note 3, “Noncontrolling Interests,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for a description of the noncontrolling interests in PVG. In the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the noncontrolling interests in PVG increased our consolidated net loss by $10.5 million and $28.3 million. The decrease in the noncontrolling interests in PVG was primarily due to the decrease in PVG’s net income, from $44.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $18.0 million in the same period of 2009. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the noncontrolling interests in PVG increased our consolidated net loss by $20.5 million and $52.3 million. The decrease in the noncontrolling interests in PVG was primarily due to the decrease in PVG’s net income, from $87.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to $39.7 million in the same period of 2009. In September 2009, we sold 10.0 million of our PVG common units, which decreased our ownership in PVG from 77.0% to 51.4%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Although results are consolidated for financial reporting, Penn Virginia, PVG and PVR operate with independent capital structures. As such, cash flow available to Penn Virginia from PVG and PVR is only in the form of cash distributions declared and paid to us on account of our partner interests in those entities, which totaled $34.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The cash needs of each entity continue to be met independently with a combination of operating cash flows, credit facility borrowings and equity proceeds.
We generally satisfy our working capital requirements, debt service obligations and dividend payments and fund our capital expenditures using cash flow generated from our operations, cash distributions received from PVG and PVR, borrowings of long-term debt and sales of non-core assets. As noted above, we have $47.1 million of assets held for sale which we expect to sell in the fourth quarter of 2009. As discussed in more detail in “Long-Term Debt” below, as of September 30, 2009, we had availability of $366.3 million on our $367.0 million revolving credit facility, or the Revolver. We continually review drilling and other capital expenditure plans and may change the amount we spend in any region. We believe our cash flow from operating activities, distributions received from PVG and PVR and availability under our Revolver are sufficient to fund our remaining 2009 planned oil and gas capital expenditure program.
On an ongoing basis, PVR generally satisfies its working capital requirements and funds its capital expenditures using cash generated from its operations, borrowings under its $800.0 million revolving credit facility, or the PVR Revolver, and proceeds from PVR equity offerings. As discussed in more detail in “—Long-Term Debt” below, as of September 30, 2009, PVR had availability of $170.3 million on the PVR Revolver. PVR funds its debt service obligations and distributions to unitholders solely using cash generated from its operations. PVR believes that the cash generated from its operations and its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures (other than major capital improvements or acquisitions), interest payments on amounts outstanding under the PVR Revolver and its distribution payments for the remainder of 2009. However, PVR’s ability to meet these requirements in the future will depend upon PVR’s future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the coal industry and natural gas midstream market, some of which are beyond PVR’s control.

On a consolidated basis, we had $105.0 million and $18.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $222.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $276.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to our net loss of $88.8 million in the nine months ending September 30, 2009.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $248.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $636.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was due to the lower oil and gas segment capital expenditures as a result of weakened economic conditions and lower commodity prices and reduced acquisition activity by PVR. For the remainder of 2009, we anticipate making oil and gas segment capital expenditures of $64.8 million to $78.5 million and PVR anticipates making coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream segment capital expenditures of $2.5 million to $11.0 million.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $112.8 million and $344.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were $281.6 million; net proceeds from the issuance of 3.5 million shares of our common stock were $64.8 million and net proceeds from the sale of PVG units that we owned were $118.1 million. The majority of the proceeds from these issuances were used to repay our borrowings under the Revolver and other liabilities. See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for an additional discussion of these issuances. We received cash distributions from PVG and PVR of $34.4 million and $32.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, PVR’s net debt borrowings were $60.0 million, offset by $93.0 million of distributions paid.

Revolver. In June 2009, the borrowing base under the Revolver was revised from $450.0 million to $367.0 million due to the issuance of the Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2009, we had no borrowing outstanding under the Revolver. As of September 30, 2009, we had remaining borrowing capacity of to $366.3 million on the Revolver, net of outstanding letters of credit of $0.7 million. The Revolver, which matures in December 2010, is secured by a portion of our proved oil and gas reserves. The Revolver is available to us for general purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, and includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Interest is payable at a base rate plus an applicable margin of ranging from 1.125% to 2.125% if we select the base rate borrowing option under the Revolver, or at a rate derived from the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% if we select the LIBOR-based borrowing option. As December 31, 2008, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolver was approximately 2.5%. In 2006, we entered into interest rate swaps, or the Interest Rate Swaps, with notional amounts of $50.0 million to establish fixed interest rates on a portion of the then outstanding borrowings under the Revolver through December 2010. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk —Interest Rate Risk,” for a discussion of the Interest Rate Swaps. As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Revolver.
Senior Notes. In June 2009, we issued and sold $300.0 million of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2015 and bear interest at an annual rate of 10.375%. The Senior Notes were sold at 97% of par, equating to an effective yield to maturity of approximately 11%. The net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes of $281.6 million were used to repay borrowings under the Revolver. As of September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the Senior Notes was $291.4 million. The Senior Notes are senior to our existing and future subordinated indebtedness, including the Convertible Notes, and are effectively subordinated to all of our secured indebtedness including the Revolver to the extent of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The obligations under the Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our oil and gas subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under our Revolver.
Convertible Notes. In December 2007, we issued and sold $230.0 million of Convertible Notes. As of September 30, 2009, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $204.9 million. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.50%. The Convertible Notes are convertible into cash up to the principal amount thereof and shares of our common stock, if any, in respect of the excess conversion value, based on an initial conversion rate of 17.316 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $57.75 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment, and, if not converted or repurchased earlier, will mature on November 15, 2012.
PVR Revolver. In March 2009, PVR increased the size of the PVR Revolver from $700.0 million to $800.0 million, which resulted in $9.3 million of debt issuance costs. The PVR Revolver is secured with substantially all of PVR’s assets. As of September 30, 2009, PVR had remaining borrowing capacity of $170.3 million on the PVR Revolver, net of outstanding borrowings of $628.1 million and letters of credit of $1.6 million. The PVR Revolver matures in December 2011 and is available to PVR for general purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, and includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Interest is payable at a base rate plus an applicable margin of up to 1.25% if PVR selects the base rate borrowing option or at a rate derived from LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% if PVR selects the LIBOR-based borrowing option. At September 30, 2009, the base rate applicable margin was 0.75% and the LIBOR-based rate applicable margin was 2.25%. At September 30, 2009, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the PVR Revolver was approximately 2.5%. PVR entered into interest rate swaps, or the PVR Interest Rate Swaps, to establish fixed interest rates on a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the PVR Revolver. See Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk —Interest Rate Risk,” for a discussion of the PVR Interest Rate Swaps. As of September 30, 2009, PVR was in compliance with all of its covenants under the PVR Revolver. Debt outstanding under the PVR Revolver is non-recourse to us and PVG.
41
Future Capital Needs and Commitments
Subject to commodity prices and the availability of capital, we expect to expand our oil and gas operations over the next several years by continuing to execute a program dominated by development drilling and, to a lesser extent, exploration drilling, supplemented periodically with property and reserve acquisitions.
We believe our portfolio of assets provides us with opportunities for organic growth which could require capital in excess of our internal sources. We continue to assess funding needs for our capital program in the context of our presently available debt capacity. To fund our growth, we expect to use a combination of cash flow from operating activities, borrowings under the Revolver, issuances of additional debt and equity securities and sales of non-core assets. We cannot be certain that we will be able to issue our debt or equity securities or sell our non-core assets on terms or in the amounts that we anticipate, and we may be unable to refinance the Revolver when it expires in 2010. In addition, we may be unable to obtain adequate funding under the Revolver because our lending counterparties may be unwilling or unable to meet their funding obligations.
For the remainder of 2009, we anticipate making oil and gas segment capital expenditures of approximately $72.0 to $84.0 million. In addition to these capital expenditures, we could incur up to $1.7 million of additional cost for rig delay and standby charges, which would be recorded as exploration as incurred. These capital and other rig delay-related expenditures are also expected to be funded primarily from internally generated sources of cash, including cash distributions received from PVG and PVR, supplemented by borrowings on the Revolver as needed.
PVR believes that short-term cash requirements for operating expenses and quarterly distributions to its general partner and unitholders will be funded through operating cash flows. PVR believes that its remaining borrowing capacity will be sufficient for its capital needs and commitments for the remainder of 2009. Subject to commodity prices and the availability of capital, PVR is committed to the growth of both of its business segments through a combination of organic projects and acquisitions of new properties and assets. For the remainder of 2009, PVR anticipates making capital expenditures of approximately $11.0 to $19.0 million. The majority of PVR’s 2009 capital expenditures are expected to be incurred in the PVR natural gas midstream segment.
Long-term cash requirements for PVR’s acquisitions and other capital expenditures are expected to be funded by several sources, including cash flows from PVR’s operating activities, borrowings under the PVR Revolver and the issuance of additional PVR debt and equity securities if available on commercially acceptable terms. However, disruptions in the global financial and commodities markets and the general economic climate have made access to equity and debt capital markets very difficult since late in 2008. While signs of improvement in these markets have occurred, if PVR is unable to access the capital markets for an extended period, PVR’s ability to make acquisitions and other capital expenditures, as well as PVR’s ability to increase or sustain cash distributions to its partners will likely become impaired. If additional financing is required, there are no assurances that it will be available or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable to PVR.
The ability of each entity in the long-term to independently satisfy its obligations and planned expenditures will depend on its future operating performance, which will be affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, depending on the longevity and ultimate severity of the deterioration of the global economy, including financial and credit markets, our and PVR’s ability in the future to grow organically or through acquisitions may be adversely affected, as may PVR’s ability to make cash distributions to its limited partners and to PVG, the owner of its general partner.
Environmental Matters
Extensive federal, state and local laws govern oil and natural gas operations, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. Numerous governmental departments issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws that are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and even criminal penalties for failure to comply. Some laws, rules and regulations relating to protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination, rendering a person liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. Other laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise exist or even prohibit exploration or production activities in sensitive areas. In addition, state laws often require some form of remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations, such as closure of inactive pits and plugging of abandoned wells. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. These laws, rules and regulations affect our operations, as well as the oil and gas exploration and production industry in general. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws, rules and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws or the adoption of new environmental laws have the potential to adversely affect our operations.
42
PVR’s operations and those of its coal lessees are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which these operations are conducted. The terms of PVR’s coal property leases impose liability on the relevant lessees for all environmental and reclamation liabilities arising under those laws and regulations. The lessees are bonded and have indemnified PVR against any and all future environmental liabilities. PVR regularly visits its coal properties to monitor lessee compliance with environmental laws and regulations and to review mining activities. PVR’s management believes that its operations and those of its lessees comply with existing laws and regulations and does not expect any environment-related material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PVR’s environmental liabilities were $1.1 million and $1.2 million, which represents PVR’s best estimate of the liabilities as of those dates related to its coal and natural resource management and natural gas midstream businesses. PVR has reclamation bonding requirements with respect to certain unleased and inactive properties. Given the uncertainty of when a reclamation area will meet regulatory standards, a change in this estimate could occur in the future.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. It is possible that materially different amounts could be recorded if these estimates and judgments change or if the actual results differ from these estimates and judgments. Our most critical accounting policies which involve the judgment of our management were fully disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and remained unchanged as of September 30, 2009.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risks to which we and PVR are exposed are as follows:
• | Price Risk |
• | Interest Rate Risk |
As a result of our and PVR’s risk management activities as discussed below, we are also exposed to counterparty risk with financial institutions with whom we and PVR enter into these risk management positions. Sensitivity to these risks has heightened due to the deterioration of the global economy, including financial and credit markets.
Price Risk
Our and PVR’s price risk management programs permit the utilization of derivative financial instruments (such as swaps, costless collars and three-way collars) to seek to mitigate the price risks associated with fluctuations in natural gas, NGL and crude oil prices as they relate to our anticipated production and PVR’s natural gas midstream business. The derivative financial instruments are placed with major financial institutions that we believe are of acceptable credit risk. The fair values of our and PVR’s derivative financial instruments are significantly affected by fluctuations in the prices of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil.
At September 30, 2009, we reported a commodity derivative asset related to our oil and gas segment of $13.4 million. At September 30, 2009, we reported a commodity derivative asset related to the PVR natural gas midstream segment of $4.8 million. The contracts underlying such commodity derivative asset are with four counterparties, all of which are investment grade financial institutions, and such commodity derivative asset is substantially concentrated with one of those counterparties. This concentration may impact our overall credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that these counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Neither we nor PVR paid or received collateral with respect to our or PVR’s derivative positions. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk if counterparties to our or PVR’s derivative asset positions fail to perform according to the terms of the contracts would be equal to the fair value of the contracts as of September 30, 2009. No significant uncertainties related to the collectability of amounts owed to us or PVR exist with regard to these counterparties.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we reported consolidated net derivative gains of $8.5 million. Because we and PVR no longer use hedge accounting for commodity derivatives, we recognize changes in fair value in earnings currently in the derivatives line item on our consolidated statements of income. We have experienced and could continue to experience significant changes in the estimate of derivative gains or losses recognized due to fluctuations in the value of our and PVR’s commodity derivative contracts. Our results of operations are affected by the volatility of unrealized gains and losses and changes in fair value, which fluctuate with changes in natural gas, NGL and crude oil prices. These fluctuations could be significant in a volatile pricing environment. See Note 5, “Derivative Instruments,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for a further description of our and PVR’s derivatives programs.

Oil and gas segment commodity derivatives - net asset | $ | 13,366 |
We estimate that a $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the natural gas purchase price would decrease the fair value of our natural gas derivatives by $25.8 million. We estimate that a $1.00 MMBtu decrease in the natural gas purchase price would increase the fair value of our natural gas derivatives by $24.9 million. In addition, we estimate that a $5.00 per barrel increase in the crude oil price would decrease the fair value of our crude oil derivatives by $1.0 million. We estimate that a $5.00 per barrel decrease in the crude oil price would increase the fair value of our crude oil derivatives by $1.0 million.
We estimate that, excluding the effects of our derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, oil and gas segment operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by $8.8 million. In addition, we estimate that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, oil and gas segment operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by $1.0 million. This assumes that natural gas prices, crude oil prices and production volumes remain constant at anticipated levels. These estimated changes in operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.

Natural gas midstream segment commodity derivatives - net asset | $ | 4,821 |
PVR estimates that a $5.00 per barrel increase in the crude oil price would decrease the fair value of PVR’s crude oil collars by $0.8 million. PVR estimates that a $5.00 per barrel decrease in the crude oil price would increase the fair value of PVR’s crude oil collars by $4.8 million. PVR estimates that a $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the natural gas price would increase the fair value of PVR’s natural gas purchase swap by $2.5 million. PVR estimates that a $1.00 per MMBtu decrease in the natural gas price would decrease the fair value of PVR’s natural gas purchase swap by $1.1 million.
In addition, PVR estimates that a $1.00 per MMBtu increase in the natural gas purchase price and a $4.65 per barrel increase in the natural gasoline (a natural gas liquid) sales price would increase the fair value of PVR’s frac spread collar by $2.0 million. PVR estimates that a $1.00 per MMBtu decrease in the natural gas purchase price and a $4.65 per barrel decrease in the natural gasoline sales price would increase the fair value of PVR’s frac spread collar by $2.1 million. These estimated changes exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling PVR’s derivative positions.
PVR estimates that, excluding the effects of derivative positions described above, for every $1.00 per MMBtu increase or decrease in the natural gas price, PVR’s natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by $1.3 million. In addition, PVR estimates that for every $5.00 per barrel increase or decrease in the crude oil price, PVR’s natural gas midstream gross margin and operating income for the remainder of 2009 would increase or decrease by $1.2 million. This assumes that natural gas prices, crude oil prices and inlet volumes remain constant at anticipated levels. These estimated changes in PVR’s gross margin and operating income exclude potential cash receipts or payments in settling these derivative positions.

Interest Rate Risk
As of September 30, 2009, we had no outstanding indebtedness under the Revolver.
As of September 30, 2009, PVR had $628.1 million of outstanding indebtedness under the PVR Revolver, which carries a variable interest rate throughout its term. PVR entered into the PVR Interest Rate Swaps to establish fixed interest rates on a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the PVR Revolver. Until March 2010, the notional amounts of the Interest Rate Swaps total $310.0 million, or 49.4% of PVR outstanding indebtedness under the PVR Revolver as of September 30, 2009, with PVR paying a weighted average fixed rate of 3.54% on the notional amount, and the counterparties paying a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR. From March 2010 to December 2011, the notional amounts of the PVR Interest Rate Swaps total $250.0 million, or 39.8% of the outstanding indebtedness under the PVR Revolver as of September 30, 2009, with PVR paying a weighted average fixed rate of 3.37% on the notional amount, and the counterparties paying a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR. From December 2011 to December 2012, the notional amounts of the PVR Interest Rate Swaps total $100.0 million, or 15.9% of the outstanding indebtedness under the PVR Revolver as of September 30, 2009,with PVR paying a weighted average fixed rate of 2.09% on the notional amount, and the counterparties paying a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR. The PVR Interest Rate Swaps extend one year past the current maturity of the PVR Revolver. A 1% increase in short-term interest rates on the floating rate debt outstanding under the PVR Revolver (net of amounts fixed through the PVR Interest Rate Swaps) as of September 30, 2009 would cost PVR approximately $3.2 million in additional interest expense per year.
During the first quarter of 2009, both we and PVR discontinued hedge accounting for all of the Interest Rate Swaps and PVR Interest Rate Swaps. Accordingly, subsequent fair value gains and losses for both the Interest Rate Swaps and the PVR Interest Rate Swaps are recognized in earnings currently. Therefore, our results of operations are affected by the volatility of changes in fair value, which fluctuates with changes in interest rates. These fluctuations could be significant. See Note 5, “Derivative Instruments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, “Financial Statements,” for a further description of our and PVR’s derivatives program.
