of approximately $7.75 million. The effective date of the acquisition was April 1, 2010. The total purchase price for the acquired assets, as adjusted at closing on June 15, 2010, was $7.7 million, which was recorded as oil and natural gas
properties on the accompanying June 30, 2010 consolidated balance sheet. This amount includes an adjustment for the results of operations of the assets between the April 1, 2010 effective date and the June 15, 2010 closing date. The
Company may adjust the purchase price for any post closing adjustments, scheduled 120 days from the original closing date of June 15, 2010. The results of operations from these properties were included in the June 30, 2010 consolidated
statement of operations only for the period subsequent to the closing date, in this case, for the period of June 16, 2010 through June 30, 2010.

During May 2010, Gulfport entered into an agreement to acquire a 50% interest in 4,979 gross (2,489 net) undeveloped acres in the Permian
Basin for approximately $7.6 million. Gulfport funded these transactions predominately through a 1.7 million common share offering completed in May of 2010. The Company received net proceeds (before offering expenses) of approximately $21.6
million from the equity offering, as discussed below in Note 7.

At June 30, 2010, approximately $2,434,000 of oil and natural gas properties related to the Companys Belize properties is
excluded from amortization as they relate to non-producing properties. In addition, approximately $22,838,000 of non-producing leasehold costs resulting from the Companys acquisition of West Texas Permian properties, $300,000 of non-producing
leasehold costs related to the Companys Bakken properties and $1,383,000 of non-producing leasehold costs related to the Companys Colorado properties are excluded from amortization at June 30, 2010. Approximately $989,000 of
non-producing leasehold costs related to the Companys Southern Louisiana assets is also excluded from amortization at June 30, 2010.

The Company evaluates the costs excluded from its amortization calculation at least annually. Subject to industry conditions and the

January 1, 2008, under which Grizzly may borrow funds from the Company. Borrowed funds initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 400 basis points and had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2012. Effective April 1, 2010, the loan
agreement was amended to modify the interest rate to 0.69% and change the maturity date to December 31, 2011. Interest is paid on a paid-in-kind basis by increasing the outstanding balance of the loan. The Company loaned Grizzly approximately
$1,169,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company recognized interest income of approximately $29,000 and $201,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $130,000 and $228,000 for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, which is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The note balance was decreased by approximately $737,000 and $241,000 as a result of a currency
translation loss for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The total $17,049,000 due from Grizzly at June 30, 2010 is included in note receivable  related party on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.

|(1) | On March 11, 2005, Gulfport entered into a three-year secured reducing credit agreement, as amended, with Bank of America, N.A. providing for a revolving credit
facility. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base limitation, which was initially set at $18.0 million, subject to adjustment. On November 1, 2005, the amount available under the borrowing base limitation
was increased to $23.0 million and was redetermined without change on May 30, 2006. On December 19, 2006, the amount available under the borrowing base limitation was increased to $30.0 million. Effective July 19, 2007, the credit
facility was increased to $150.0 million and the amount available under the borrowing base limitation was increased to $60.0 million.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In connection with the Companys acquisition of strategic assets in West Texas in the Permian Basin, the borrowing
base under the revolving credit facility was increased from $60.0 million to $90.0 million, effective as of December 20, 2007. In addition, the maturity date was extended from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. On August 31, 2009,
the lender completed its periodic redetermination of the Companys borrowing base giving consideration to year-end 2008 and mid-year 2009 reserve information and then current bank pricing decks, among other factors. As a result of this
redetermination, the Companys available borrowing base was reset at $45.0 million, primarily in response to significant declines in commodity prices. The Companys outstanding principal balance at the effective time of this
redetermination was approximately $59.0 million. The approximately $14.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility in excess of the new borrowing base was converted into a term loan as of August 31, 2009. An initial $2.0
million payment was made on the term loan at that time and the Company agreed to make additional monthly payments of $1.0 million commencing on September 30, 2009, with all unpaid amounts due on March 31, 2010. The Company paid the
outstanding balance of the term loan in full in February 2010.

Outstanding borrowings under the term loan
accrued interest at the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 4.0% or, at the option of the Company, at the base rate (which was the highest of the lenders prime rate, the Federal funds rate plus half of 1%, and the
one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1%) plus 3%. Effective August 31, 2009, the Company also agreed to an adjustment in the commitment fees, interest rates for revolving loans and fees for letters of credit under the credit facility. Specifically,
the Company agreed to pay (a) commitment fees ranging from 0.5% to 0.625% (an increase from 0.15% to 0.25%), (b) margin interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 3.50% for Eurodollar loans (an increase from 1.25% to 2.0%), (c) margin
interest rates ranging from 1.75% to 2.5% for base rate loans (an increase from 1.25% to 2.0%), and (d) letter of credit fees at the margin interest rates for Eurodollar loans, in each case based on the Companys utilization percentage. In
addition, the Company agreed to limitations on certain dispositions and investments and to mandatory prepayments of the loans from the net cash proceeds of specified asset sales and other events.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company entered into the amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America,
N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The restated credit agreement amended and restated the Companys original 2005 credit agreement primarily to reflect the subsequent amendments thereto and to
extend the maturity date of the revolving loan under the original 2005 credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. from March 31, 2010 to April 1, 2011. The restated credit agreement did not alter the March 31, 2010 maturity date of
the term loan outstanding under the original 2005 credit agreement. The obligations under the restated credit agreement are guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries.

The Companys obligations under the credit facility are collateralized by a lien on substantially all of the
Companys Louisiana and West Texas assets. The restated credit agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to the following financial covenants: (a) the ratio of funded debt to EBITDAX (net
income before deductions for taxes, excluding unrealized gains and losses related to trading securities and commodity hedges, plus depreciation, depletion, amortization and interest expense, plus exploration costs deducted in determining net income
under full cost accounting) for a twelve-month period may not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00; and (b) the ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense for a twelve-month period may not be less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants at June 30, 2010. The Company has also agreed with the lenders that it will maintain liquidity in an amount of $1.0 million beginning May 31, 2010 and

increasing by $1.0 million per month to $5.0 million by September 30, 2010 in the form of cash and/or available borrowings under the credit agreement. The Company made payments on the
revolving credit facility totaling $2.0 million during the second quarter 2010. As it has historically, the Company continues to make all interest payments on time.

As of June 30, 2010, approximately $43.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which is
included in current maturities of long-term debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 3.50% (3.85% at June 30, 2010).

As noted above, the Companys revolving credit facility currently matures in April 2011. As the Company has
historically, it continues to make all interest payments on time and since December 2008, has made principal payments of approximately $47.5 million on its revolving credit facility with no additional borrowings thereunder. Although Gulfport has had
preliminary discussions with various lenders regarding a new revolving credit facility and has received proposed term sheets from such lenders, no definitive agreement has been reached at this time regarding the refinancing of its revolving credit
facility. The Company intends to proceed with the loan documentation process with the selected lenders in the near future.

On July 10, 2006, Gulfport entered into a $5 million term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. related to the
purchase of new gas compressor units. The loan began amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2007 on a straight-line basis over seven years based on the outstanding principal balance at December 31, 2006. The Company makes quarterly principal
payments of approximately $176,000. Amounts borrowed bear interest at Bank of America Prime (3.25% at June 30, 2010). The Company makes quarterly interest payments on amounts borrowed under the agreement. The Companys obligations under
the agreement are collateralized by a lien on the compressor units. As of June 30, 2010, approximately $2.5 million was outstanding under this agreement, of which $714,000 and $1.8 million are included in current maturities of long-term debt
and long-term debt, net of current maturities, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.



|(2) | In June 2004, the Company purchased the office building it occupies in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for $3.7 million. One loan associated with this building matured in
March 2006 and bore interest at the rate of 6% per annum, while the other loan matures in June 2011 and bears interest at the rate of 6.5% per annum. In addition, the building loans included a loan related to a building in Lafayette,
Louisiana, purchased in 1996 to be used as the Companys Louisiana headquarters. This loan bore interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum. The Company paid this loan in full during the third quarter of 2007, in advance of its February 2008
maturity date. The remaining building loan requires monthly interest and principal payments of approximately $23,000 and is collateralized by the Oklahoma City office building and associated land.

|7. | COMMON STOCK OPTIONS, RESTRICTED STOCK, WARRANTS AND CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restricted Stock

On
March 8, 2010, the Company granted 66,667 shares of restricted common stock of the Company to employees of the Company at a fair value of approximately $662,000. The shares vest over twelve substantially equal quarterly installments beginning
on March 18, 2010. All shares of restricted common stock of the Company were granted under the Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Incentive Plan.

Sale of Common Stock

On
May 19, 2010, the Company sold 1,481,481 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering at a public offering price of $13.50 per share less the underwriting discount. On May 25, 2010, the Company sold an additional 187,022
shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount in connection with the underwriters partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to them by the Company. The Company received the aggregate net
proceeds of approximately $21.6 million from the sale of these shares after deducting the underwriting discount and before offering expenses. A portion of the net proceeds from the offering was used to fund the Companys Niobrara Shale and
Permian Basin acquisitions as discussed in Note 1. The remaining net proceeds from this offering were used for general corporate purposes, including expenditures associated with the Companys 2010 drilling programs.



|8. | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|-- | ------------------------

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Companys stock-based compensation expense was $108,000 and
$233,000, respectively, of which the Company capitalized $43,000 and $93,000, respectively, relating to its exploration and development efforts. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Companys stock based
compensation expense was $155,000 and $330,000, respectively, of which the Company capitalized $62,000 and $132,000, respectively, relating to its exploration and development efforts. Stock based compensation included in general and administrative
expense reduced basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.00 and $0.00 each for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and by $0.00 and $0.00 each for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively. Options and restricted common stock are reported as share based payments and their fair value is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period. The shares of stock issued once the options are exercised
will be from authorized but unissued common stock.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses certain assumptions. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the market price of Gulfports common stock over a

##### Table of Contents

period of time ending on the grant date. Based upon historical experience of the Company, the expected term of options granted is equal to the vesting period plus one year. The risk-free rate for
periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan provides that all options must have an exercise price not less than the fair value of the
Companys common stock on the date of the grant.

No stock options were issued during the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009.

The Company has not declared dividends and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future, and thus did
not use a dividend yield. In each case, the actual value that will be realized, if any, depends on the future performance of the common stock and overall stock market conditions. There is no assurance that the value an optionee actually realizes
will be at or near the value estimated using the Black-Scholes model.

A summary of the status of stock options and related
activity for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is presented below:

|11. | NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
|--- | ------------------------

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements, which provides amendments to FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (FASB ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 requires additional disclosures about (a) the different classes of
assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (b) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (c) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (d) significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. The updated guidance is
effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 effective January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.



|12. | OPERATING LEASES
|--- | ----------------

In
October 2006, the Company began leasing the Louisiana building that it owns to an unrelated party. The cost of the building totaled approximately $217,000 and accumulated depreciation amounted to approximately $93,000 as of June 30, 2010. The
lease commenced on October 15, 2006 and was extended to expire on October 14, 2010, with equal monthly installments of $10,500. The future lease payments due during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 are approximately $37,000.



|13. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|--- | -----------------------------

Plugging and Abandonment Funds

In connection with the acquisition in 1997 of the remaining 50% interest in the WCBB properties, the Company assumed the sellers
(Chevron) obligation to contribute approximately $18,000 per month through March 2004, to a plugging and abandonment trust and the obligation to plug a minimum of 20 wells per year for 20 years commencing March 11, 1997. Chevron retained a
security interest in production from these properties until abandonment obligations to Chevron have been fulfilled. Beginning in 2009, the Company can access the trust for use in plugging and abandonment charges associated with the property. As of
June 30, 2010, the plugging and abandonment trust totaled approximately $3,128,000. At June 30, 2010, the Company has plugged 293 wells at WCBB since it began its plugging program in 1997, which management believes fulfills its current
minimum plugging obligation.

Litigation

The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) is disputing Gulfports severance tax payments to the State
of Louisiana from the sale of oil under fixed price contracts during the years 2005 to 2007. The LDR maintains that Gulfport paid approximately $1,800,000 less in severance taxes under fixed price terms than the severance taxes Gulfport would have
had to pay had it paid severance taxes on the oil at the contracted market rates only. Gulfport has denied any liability to the LDR for underpayment of severance taxes and has maintained that it was entitled to enter into the fixed price contracts
with unrelated third parties and pay severance taxes based upon the proceeds received under those contracts. Gulfport has maintained its right to contest any final assessment or suit for collection if brought by the State. On April 20, 2009,
the LDR filed a lawsuit in the 15thJudicial District
Court, Lafayette Parish, in Louisiana against Gulfport seeking $2,275,729 in severance taxes, plus interest and court costs. Gulfport filed a response denying any liability to the LDR for underpayment of severance taxes and is defending itself in
the lawsuit. The case is in the early stages of discovery.

In November 2006, Cudd Pressure Control, Inc. (Cudd)
filed a lawsuit against Gulfport, Great White Pressure Control LLC (Great White) and six former Cudd employees in the 129th Judicial District Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division). The lawsuit alleged RICO violations and several other causes of action relating to Great Whites employment of the former Cudd employees and sought unspecified monetary damages and
injunctive relief. On stipulation by the parties, the plaintiffs RICO claim was dismissed without

prejudice by order of the court on February 14, 2007. Gulfport filed a motion for summary judgment on October 5, 2007. The court entered a final interlocutory judgment in favor of all
defendants, including Gulfport, on April 8, 2008. On November 3, 2008, Cudd filed its appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit vacated the district court decision finding, among other things, that the
district court should not have entered summary judgment without first allowing more discovery. The case was remanded to the district court, and Cudd filed a motion to remand the case to the original state court, which motion was granted. On
February 3, 2010, Cudd filed its second amended petition with the state court (a) alleging that Gulfport conspired with the other defendants to misappropriate, and misappropriated, Cudds trade secrets and caused its employees to
breach their fiduciary duties, and (b) seeking unspecified monetary damages. On April 13, 2010, Gulfports motion to be dismissed from the proceeding for lack of personal jurisdiction was denied. This state court proceeding is in its
initial stages.

Due to the current stages of the above litigation, the outcomes are uncertain and management cannot determine
the amount of loss, if any, that may result. Litigation is inherently uncertain. Adverse decisions in one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to the above, the Company has been named as a defendant in various other litigation matters. The ultimate
resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.



|14. | INSURANCE PROCEEDS
|--- | ------------------

In
March 2009, the Company received insurance proceeds of approximately $1,050,000 related to damages incurred in its WCBB field as a result of Hurricane Ike in 2008. The costs associated with repairing the field were expensed to lease operating
expenses as incurred in 2008 and 2009. The Company recognized the insurance proceeds in other (income) expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.



|15. | HEDGING ACTIVITIES
|--- | ------------------

The
Company seeks to reduce its exposure to unfavorable changes in oil prices, which are subject to significant and often volatile fluctuation, by entering into forward sales contracts. These contracts allow the Company to predict with greater certainty
the effective oil prices to be received for hedged production and benefit operating cash flows and earnings when market prices are less than the fixed prices provided in the contracts. However, the Company will not benefit from market prices that
are higher than the fixed prices in the contracts for hedged production.

The Company accounts for its oil derivative
instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes under FASB ASC 815 and related pronouncements. All derivative contracts are marked to market each quarter end and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as derivative
assets and liabilities.

At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities
related to the forward sales contracts is as follows:



|                                              |  |               |           |                   |   |           
|--------------------------------------------- |  | ------------- | --------- | ----------------- | - | ----------
|                                              |  | June 30, 2010 |           | December 31, 2009
|Short-term derivative instruments  liability |  | $             | 6,397,000 |                   | $ | 18,735,000

All forward
sales contracts have been executed in connection with the Companys oil price hedging program. For forward sales contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges pursuant to FASB ASC 815, the realized contract price is included in oil sales in the
period for which the underlying production was hedged.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and meeting the
effectiveness guidelines of FASB ASC 815, changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative
changes in fair value between the derivative contract and the hedged item over time. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in earnings. The Company did not recognize into earnings any amount related to
hedge ineffectiveness for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 as the hedges were deemed to be perfectly effective.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into forward sales contracts with the
purchaser of the Companys WCBB oil. The Company receives the fixed price amount stated in the contract. At June 30, 2010, the Company had the following forward sales contracts in place:



|                     |  |                        |  |                       |

|16. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|--- | -----------------------

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820 for all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adopted
FASB ASC 820 effective January 1, 2009 for all non-financial assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The statement establishes market or observable inputs as the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The statement
requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1  Quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2  Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and
liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3  Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table summarizes the Companys financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities by FASB ASC 820 valuation
level as of June 30, 2010:



|                        |  |         |   |         |   |           |  |   |  
|----------------------- |  | ------- | - | ------- | - | --------- |  | - | -
|                        |  | Level 1 |   | Level 2 |   | Level 3  
|Assets:                 |  |         |   |         |   |           |  |   |  
|Forward sales contracts |  | $       |  |         | $ |          |  | $ | 
|Liabilities:            |  |         |   |         |   |           |  |   |  
|Forward sales contracts |  | $       |  |         | $ | 6,397,000 |  | $ | 

The
estimated fair value of the Companys forward sales contracts was based upon forward commodity prices based on quoted market prices, adjusted for differentials.

The Company estimates asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirement and
Environmental Obligations (FASB ASC 410). The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs
associated with oil and gas properties. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, including plugging costs and reserve lives, the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation liability is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. See Note 3 for
further discussion of the Companys asset retirement obligations. Asset retirement obligations incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $765,000.

The carrying amounts on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, and current and long-term debt are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Overview

We are an
independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with our principal producing properties located along the Louisiana Gulf Coast in the West Cote Blanche Bay, or WCBB, and Hackberry fields, and in West Texas in the Permian Basin. We
recently acquired an acreage position in Western Colorado in the Niobrara Shale. We also hold a significant acreage position in the Alberta oil sands in Canada through our interest in Grizzly Oil Sands ULC, and have interests in entities that
operate in Southeast Asia, including the Phu Horm gas field in Thailand. We seek to achieve reserve growth and increase our cash flow through our annual drilling programs.

2010 Production and Drilling Activity

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, our total net production was 402,000 barrels of oil, 297,000 thousand cubic feet of
gas, or Mcf, and 677,000 gallons of liquids, for a total 468,000 BOE as compared to 354,000 barrels of oil, 81,000 Mcf of gas, and 700,000 gallons of liquids, or 384,000 BOE, for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our total net production
averaged approximately 5,139 BOE per day during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 4,223 BOE per day during the same period in 2009. The 22% increase in production is primarily related to the 2010 drilling and recompletion
activities in our fields partially reduced by the sale of a majority of our production in the Bakken in the second and third quarters of 2009.

WCBB. From January 1, 2010 through July 31, 2010, we recompleted 40 existing wells and drilled 15 wells, of which 13
were completed as producers, one is waiting on completion and one is currently being drilled. We currently intend to recomplete a total of approximately 50 existing wells and drill a total of 19 to 21 new wells during 2010.

Aggregate net production from the WCBB field during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was 323,309 BOE, or 3,553 BOE per day, 90%
of which was from oil. During July 2010, our average daily net production at WCBB was approximately 3,490 BOE, 97% of which was from oil and 3% of which was from natural gas. The decrease in July 2010 production was the result of downtime related to
the installation of some new equipment.

East Hackberry Field. From January 1, 2010 through July 31, 2010, we
recompleted six existing wells and drilled four wells, of which three were completed as producers and one is currently being drilled. During, 2009, we entered into a two year exploration agreement with an active gulf coast operator covering
approximately 2,868 net acres adjacent to our field. We are the designated operator under the agreement and will participate in proposed wells with at least a 70% working interest. We have licensed approximately 54 square miles of 3-D seismic data
covering a portion of the area and are reprocessing the data.

Aggregate net production from the East Hackberry field during
the three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately 76,117 BOE, or 836 BOE per day, 94% of which was from oil and 6% of which was from natural gas. During July 2010, our average daily net production at East Hackberry was approximately 1,134
BOE, 95% of which was from oil and 5% of which was from natural gas. The increase in July 2010 production was the result of our 2010 drilling activities.

West Hackberry Field.Aggregate net production from the West Hackberry field during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
approximately 2,967 BOE, or 33 BOE per day. During July 2010, our average daily net production at West Hackberry was approximately 39 BOE, 100% of which was from oil.

Permian Basin. On December 20, 2007, we completed the acquisition of approximately 4,100 net acres and 32 producing
wells in West Texas in the Permian Basin for approximately $83.8 million, with an effective date of November 1, 2007. Subsequently, we have acquired approximately 9,800 additional net acres, bringing our total acreage position to 13,900 net
acres.

Ten gross (five net) wells have been drilled on this acreage in 2010, with seven completed as producers, two waiting
on completion and one well currently drilling. We currently anticipate that 14 to 16 additional gross (7 to 8 net) wells will be drilled on this acreage during 2010. In addition, we expect that ten gross (five net) wells will be recompleted on this
acreage during 2010.

Aggregate net production from the Permian field during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was
approximately 56,073 BOE, or 616 BOE per day. During July 2010, average daily net production at Permian was approximately 718 BOE, of which approximately 56% was oil, 27% was natural gas liquids and 17% was natural gas. The increase in July 2010
production was due to the completion of three wells and one recompletion during July 2010.

Niobrara Shale.We
completed the acquisition of 24,468 net acres in the Niobrara Shale in Western Colorado on June 15, 2010. We are currently in the process of planning a 60 square mile 3-D seismic survey which we expect to begin permitting in the fall of 2010 and
shooting in the spring of 2011. During the remainder of 2010, we currently anticipate drilling at least two vertical wells in the Niobrara Shale and performing hydraulic fracturing on a non-producing well already drilled on our Niobrara acreage.

Bakken. During May 2009, we sold approximately 12,270 net acres and approximately 190 net BOEPD of production for
approximately $13.0 million, with an effective date of April 1, 2009. During September 2009, we sold approximately 5,721 net acres for $5.8 million with an effective date of July 1, 2009. As of July 31, 2010, we held
approximately 900 net acres, interests in four wells and an overriding royalty interest in certain wells that might be drilled in the future.

Aggregate net production from the Bakken play during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately 8,371 BOE, or 92 BOE per
day. During July 2010, average daily net production in Bakken was approximately 63 BOE. This decrease in production was primarily the result of normal production declines.

Grizzly. During the third quarter of 2006, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Grizzly Holdings Inc., purchased a 24.9999%
interest in Grizzly Oil Sands ULC, or Grizzly. The remaining interests in Grizzly are owned by entities controlled by Wexford Capital LP, or Wexford. During 2006 and 2007, Grizzly acquired leases in the Athabasca region located in the Alberta
Province near Fort McMurray near other oil sands development projects. Grizzly has approximately 527,000 acres under lease and our net investment in Grizzly was $24.6 million at June 30, 2010. In addition, we had loaned Grizzly $17,049,000
including interest and net of foreign currency adjustments, as of June 30, 2010. During the 2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 winter

delineation drilling seasons, Grizzly drilled an aggregate of 131 core holes and three water supply test wells, tested five separate lease blocks and conducted a seismic program. In March 2010,
Grizzly filed an application for the development of an 11,300 barrel per day oil sand project at Algar Lake. Grizzly expects regulatory approval within 12 to 18 months of application submission, followed by an anticipated construction period of 18
months leading to first production. Grizzly is currently integrating recently released core data from offset operators into its geological models, analyzing the results and finalizing its 2010/2011 winter drilling program.

Thailand. During 2005, we purchased a 23.5% ownership interest in Tatex Thailand II, LLC, or Tatex, at a cost of $2.4 million. The
remaining interests in Tatex are owned by entities controlled by Wexford. Tatex, a privately held entity, holds 85,122 of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of APICO, LLC, or APICO, an international oil and gas exploration company. APICO has a reserve
base located in Southeast Asia through its ownership of concessions covering three million acres which includes the Phu Horm Field. As of June 30, 2010, our net investment in Tatex was $2.3 million. Our investment is accounted for on the equity
method. Tatex accounts for its investment in APICO using the cost method. In December 2006, first gas sales were achieved at the Phu Horm field located in northeast Thailand. Phu Horms initial gross production was approximately 60 million
cubic feet, or MMcf, per day. Gross production during the second quarter of 2010 was approximately 89 MMcf and 439 Bbls of oil per day. Hess Corporation operates the field with a 35% interest. Other interest owners include APICO (35% interest),
PTTEP (20% interest) and ExxonMobil (10% interest). Our gross working interest (through Tatex as a member of APICO) in the Phu Horm field is 0.7%. Estimated proved reserves from the Phu Horm field as of December 31, 2008, net to our interest,
are 2.739 BCF of gas. Since our ownership in the Phu Horm field is indirect and Tatexs investment in APICO is accounted for by the cost method, these reserves are not included in our year-end reserve information.

During the first quarter of 2008, we purchased a 5% ownership interest in Tatex Thailand III, LLC, or Tatex III, at a cost of $850,000.
In December 2009, we purchased an additional approximately 12.9% ownership interest at a cost of approximately $3.4 million bringing our total ownership interest to approximately 17.9%. Approximately 68.7% of the remaining interests in Tatex III are
owned by entities controlled by Wexford. Affiliates of Wexford own approximately 34% of our outstanding common stock. Tatex III owns a concession covering one million acres. Tatex III recently completed a 3-D seismic survey on this concession.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we paid $180,000 in cash calls bringing our total investment in Tatex III to $4.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have identified certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of
significant judgment by our management. We analyze our estimates including those related to oil and natural gas properties, revenue recognition, income taxes and commitments and contingencies, and base our estimates on historical experience and
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Oil and Natural Gas
Properties. We use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Accordingly, all costs, including non-productive costs and certain general and administrative costs directly associated with acquisition, exploration and
development of oil and natural gas properties, are capitalized. Net capitalized costs are limited to the estimated future net revenues, after income taxes, discounted at 10% per year, from proven oil and natural gas reserves and the cost of the
properties not subject to amortization. Such capitalized costs, including the estimated future development costs and site remediation costs, if any, are depleted by an equivalent units-of-production method, converting gas to barrels at the ratio of
six Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil. No gain or loss is recognized upon the disposal of oil and natural gas properties, unless such dispositions significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proven oil and natural gas reserves.
Oil and natural gas properties not subject to amortization consist of the cost of undeveloped leaseholds and totaled $27.9 million at June 30, 2010 and $17.5 million at December 31, 2009. These costs are reviewed periodically by management
for impairment, with the impairment provision included in the cost of oil and natural gas properties subject to amortization. Factors considered by management in its impairment assessment include our drilling results and those of other operators,
the terms of oil and natural gas leases not held by production and available funds for exploration and development.

Ceiling Test. Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties are required to perform a ceiling
test each quarter. The test determines a limit, or ceiling, on the book value of the oil and gas properties. Net capitalized costs are limited to the lower of unamortized cost net of deferred income taxes or the cost center ceiling. The cost center
ceiling is defined as the sum of (a) estimated future net revenues, discounted at 10% per annum, from proved reserves, based on unescalated year-end prices and costs, adjusted for any contract provisions or financial derivatives, if any,
that hedge our oil and natural gas revenue, and excluding the estimated abandonment costs for properties with asset retirement obligations recorded on the balance sheet, (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any, and (c) the
lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the cost being amortized, less income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the oil and natural gas properties. If the net



18



---

##### Table of Contents

book value reduced by the related net deferred income tax liability exceeds the ceiling, an impairment or noncash write-down is required. Ceiling test impairment can give us a significant loss
for a particular period; however, future depletion expense would be reduced. A decline in oil and gas prices may result in an impairment of oil and gas properties. For instance, as a result of the drop in commodity prices on December 31, 2008
and subsequent reduction in our proved reserves, we recognized a ceiling test impairment of $272.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. If prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids continue to decrease, we may be required to
further write down the value of our oil and gas properties, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

Asset
Retirement Obligations. We have obligations to remove equipment and restore land at the end of oil and gas production operations. Our removal and restoration obligations are primarily associated with plugging and abandoning wells and associated
production facilities.

We account for abandonment and restoration liabilities under FASB ASC 410 which requires us to record
a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The asset retirement liability is recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed into
service. When the liability is initially recorded, we increase the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the original liability. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related long-lived asset. Upon settlement of the liability or the sale of the well, the liability is reversed. These liability amounts may change because of changes in asset lives, estimated costs of
abandonment or legal or statutory remediation requirements.

The fair value of the liability associated with these retirement
obligations is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of the plugging and abandonment or retirement, annual inflations of these costs, the productive life of the asset and our risk adjusted cost to settle such
obligations discounted using our credit adjustment risk free interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligation. Revisions to the asset retirement obligation are
recorded with an offsetting change to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset, resulting in prospective changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and accretion of discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and
the relatively long life of most of our oil and natural gas assets, the costs to ultimately retire these assets may vary significantly from previous estimates.

Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities. Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and natural gas that engineering
and geological analysis demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating and economic parameters. Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., Pinnacle Energy Services,
LLC and to a lesser extent our personnel have prepared reserve reports of our reserve estimates at December 31, 2009 on a well-by-well basis for our properties.

Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact our depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments
to depletion and impairment are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. Our reserve estimates and the projected cash flows derived from these reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with SEC guidelines. The accuracy of our
reserve estimates is a function of many factors including the following:



| |  |  | the quality and quantity of available data;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the interpretation of that data;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the judgments of the individuals preparing the estimates.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

Our proved reserve estimates are a function of many assumptions, all of which could deviate significantly from actual results. As such,
reserve estimates may materially vary from the ultimate quantities of oil and natural gas eventually recovered.

Income
Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (a) temporary differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and (b) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on enacted tax rates applicable to the future period when those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income during the period the rate change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the
year in which realization becomes determinable. Periodically, management performs a forecast of its taxable income to determine whether it is more likely than not that a valuation allowance is needed, looking at both positive and negative factors. A
valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets is established, if in managements opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion will not be realized. At June 30, 2010, a valuation allowance of $73.2 million had been provided for
deferred tax assets based on the uncertainty of future taxable income.

Revenue Recognition. We derive almost all of
our revenue from the sale of crude oil and natural gas produced from our oil and gas properties. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. We receive payment on substantially all of these sales from one to three
months after delivery. At the end of each month, we estimate the amount of production delivered to



19



---

##### Table of Contents

purchasers that month and the price we will receive. Variances between our estimated revenue and actual payment received for all prior months are recorded at the end of the quarter after payment
is received. Historically, our actual payments have not significantly deviated from our accruals.

Commitments and
Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We are involved in
certain litigation for which the outcome is uncertain. Changes in the certainty and the ability to reasonably estimate a loss amount, if any, may result in the recognition and subsequent payment of legal liabilities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. We seek to reduce our exposure to unfavorable changes in oil prices by utilizing
energy swaps and collars, or fixed-price contracts. We follow the provisions of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. It requires that all derivative instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet,
measured at fair value. We estimate the fair value of all derivative instruments using established index prices and other sources. These values are based upon, among other things, futures prices, correlation between index prices and our realized
prices, time to maturity and credit risk. The values reported in the financial statements change as these estimates are revised to reflect actual results, changes in market conditions or other factors.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
Designation is established at the inception of a derivative, but re-designation is permitted. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and meeting the effectiveness guidelines of FASB ASC 815, changes in fair value are recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative changes in fair value between the derivative contract and the hedged item over time. We
recognize any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness immediately in earnings. We currently have forward sales contracts in place for the remainder of 2009 and 2010 that are accounted for as cash flow hedges and recorded at fair value
pursuant to FASB ASC 815 and related pronouncements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

We reported net income of $10,389,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $5,078,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. This 105% increase in period-to-period net income was due primarily to a 22% increase in net production to 468,000 BOE and a 16% increase in realized BOE prices to $62.10 from $53.76 and a 3% decrease in lease operating expenses,
partially offset by a 33% increase in general and administrative expenses and a 48% increase in production taxes.

Oil and
Gas Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we reported oil and natural gas revenues of $29,042,000 as compared to oil and natural gas revenues of $20,659,000 during the same period in 2009. This $8,383,000, or 41%, increase in
revenues is primarily attributable to a 22% increase in net production to 468,000 BOE from 384,000 BOE and a 16% increase in realized BOE prices to $62.10 from $53.76 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended
June 30, 2009.

The following table summarizes our oil and natural gas production and related pricing for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to such data for the three months ended June 30, 2009:

Lease Operating
Expenses. Lease operating expenses, or LOE, not including production taxes decreased to $3,973,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $4,082,000 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is mainly the result of a decrease in
expenses related to contract labor, equipment repairs and the rental of crew boats. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2009 included $89,000 related to hurricane repairs compared to $2,000 related to hurricane repairs in the three
months ended June 30, 2010.

Production Taxes. Production taxes increased to $3,541,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 from $2,385,000 for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily related to a 41% increase in oil and gas revenues and a 16% increase in the average realized BOE price received.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization,
or DD&A, expense increased to $8,688,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and consisted of $8,612,000 in depletion on oil and natural gas properties and $76,000 in depreciation of other property and equipment. This compares to
total depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $7,350,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due to an increase in our full cost pool as a result of our capital activities and an increase in our production
used to calculate our total DD&A expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. Net general and administrative
expenses increased to $1,518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $1,143,000 for the same period in 2009. This $375,000 increase was due to an increase in salaries, legal expenses and a decrease in administrative service
reimbursements, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative overhead related to exploration and development activity capitalized to the full cost pool.

Accretion Expense. Accretion expense increased slightly to $151,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $144,000
for the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $613,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 from $439,000 for the same period in 2009 due to an increase in the interest rate paid as well as amortization of loan fees associated with our amended and restated credit facility with Bank of America, partially offset by a
decrease in average debt outstanding. Total debt outstanding under our facilities with Bank of America was $45.5 million as of June 30, 2010 and $62.3 million as of the same date in 2009. Total weighted debt outstanding under our
facilities with Bank of America was $47.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $62.4 million for the same period in 2009. As of June 30, 2010, amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility and our term loan with Bank
of America bore interest of 3.85% and 3.25%, respectively.

Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2010, we had a net
operating loss carry forward of approximately $55.7 million, in addition to numerous temporary differences, which gave rise to a deferred tax asset. Periodically, management performs a forecast of our taxable income to determine whether it is more
likely than not that a valuation allowance is needed, looking at both positive and negative factors. A valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets is established if, in managements opinion, it is more likely than not that some portion will
not be realized. At June 30, 2010, a valuation allowance of $73.2 million had been provided for deferred tax assets, with the exception of $533,000 related to alternative minimum taxes. We had $40,000 of state income tax for the three months
ended June 30, 2010.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

We reported net income of $20,370,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $7,811,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009. This 161% increase in period-to-period net income was due primarily to a 31% increase in realized BOE prices to $61.84 from $47.27, a 12% increase in net production to 912,000 BOE and a 10% decrease in lease operating expenses,
partially offset by a 27% increase in general and administrative expenses and a 58% increase in production taxes.

Oil and
Gas Revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we reported oil and natural gas revenues of $56,388,000 as compared to oil and natural gas revenues of $38,519,000 during the same period in 2009. This $17,869,000, or 46%, increase in
revenues is primarily attributable to a 31% increase in realized BOE prices to $61.84 from $47.27 and a 12% increase in net production to 912,000 BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from 815,000 BOE for the six months ended June 30,
2009.

Lease Operating
Expenses. Lease operating expenses, or LOE, not including production taxes decreased to $8,149,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $9,069,000 for the same period in 2009. This decrease is mainly a result of a decrease in
expenses related to contract labor, equipment repairs, gas purchased, well workover and the rental of crew boats. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $439,000 related to hurricane repairs compared to $3,000 related to
hurricane repairs in the six months ended June 30, 2010

##### Table of Contents

Production Taxes. Production taxes increased to $6,733,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 from $4,270,000 for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily related to a 46% increase in oil and gas revenues and a 31% increase in the average realized BOE price received.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization, or DD&A, expense increased to $16,613,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and consisted of $16,463,000 in depletion on oil and natural gas properties and $150,000 in depreciation of other property and equipment. This compares to total depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense of $14,770,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due to an increase in our full cost pool as a result of our capital activities and an increase in our production used to calculate our total DD&A expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. Net general and administrative expenses increased to $2,900,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 from $2,279,000 for the same period in 2009. This $621,000 increase was primarily due to an increase in franchise taxes as well as an increase in expenses related to salaries and other compensation, legal and a
decrease in administrative service reimbursements, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative overhead related to exploration and development activity capitalized to the full cost pool.

Accretion Expense. Accretion expense increased slightly to $305,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $286,000 for
the same period in 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $1,331,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2010 from $1,072,000 for the same period in 2009 due to an increase in the interest rate and the amortization of loan fees associated with our amended and restated credit facility with Bank of America, partially offset by a decrease in
average debt outstanding under our facilities with Bank of America. Total debt outstanding under our facilities with Bank of America was $45.5 million as of June 30, 2010 and $62.3 million as of the same date in 2009. Total weighted debt
outstanding under our facilities with Bank of America was $48.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and $63.2 million for the same period in 2009. As of June 30, 2010, amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility and our
term loan with Bank of America bore interest of 3.85% and 3.25%, respectively.

Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2010,
we had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $55.7 million, in addition to numerous temporary differences, which gave rise to a deferred tax asset. Periodically, management performs a forecast of our taxable income to determine whether
it is more likely than not that a valuation allowance is needed, looking at both positive and negative factors. A valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets is established if, in managements opinion, it is more likely than not that some
portion will not be realized. At June 30, 2010, a valuation allowance of $73.2 million had been provided for deferred tax assets, with the exception of $533,000 related to alternative minimum taxes. We had $40,000 of state income tax for the
six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Historically, our primary sources of funds have been cash flow from our producing oil and natural gas properties, the
issuance of equity securities and borrowings under our bank and other credit facilities. In addition, during 2009, we also received proceeds from the sale of Bakken assets, and in 2010 we received net proceeds (before offering expenses) of
approximately $21.6 million from the sale of our common stock. Our ability to access any of these sources of funds can be significantly impacted by decreases in oil and natural gas prices or oil and natural gas production.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $34,635,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to net cash flow
provided by operating activities of $22,871,000 for the same period in 2009. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in cash receipts from our oil and natural gas purchasers due to a 31% increase in net realized prices and a 12%
increase in our net BOE production.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was
$51,243,000 as compared to $16,005,000 for the same period in 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we spent $49,828,000 in additions to oil and natural gas properties, of which $10,134,000 was spent on our 2010 drilling and
recompletion programs, $15,393,000 was spent on acquisitions in our Niobrara and Permian fields, $11,328,000 was spent on expenses attributable to the wells drilled during 2009, $2,984,000 was spent on our 2009 recompletions, $4,315,000 was spent on
compressors and other facility enhancements, $912,000 was spent on plugging costs, $595,000 was spent on lease related costs and $1,872,000 was spent on tubulars, with the remainder attributable mainly to capitalized general and administrative
expenses. In addition, $1,169,000 was loaned to Grizzly during the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used cash from operations and proceeds from our equity offering to fund our investing
activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $17,188,000 as compared
to net cash used by financing activities of $5,894,000 for the same period in 2009. The 2010 amount provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to the net proceeds of $21,401,000 from our equity offering, partially offset by principal
payments of $4,021,000 on

borrowings under our credit agreement with Bank of America. The 2009 amount used by financing activities is primarily attributable to principal payments on borrowings of $5,500,000 under our
credit facility with Bank of America, partially offset by $10,000 received from the exercise of stock options.

Credit
Facility. In March 2005, we entered into a three year secured revolving credit agreement, as amended, with Bank of America, N.A. providing for a revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to a borrowing base
limitation, which was initially set at $18.0 million subject to adjustment. On November 1, 2005, the amount available under the borrowing base limitation was increased to $23.0 million and was redetermined without change on May 30, 2006.
On December 19, 2006, the amount available under the borrowing base limitation was increased to $30.0 million. Effective July 19, 2007, the credit facility increased to $150.0 million and the amount available under the borrowing base
limitation was increased to $60.0 million. In connection with our acquisition of strategic assets in West Texas in the Permian Basin, effective as of December 20, 2007, our borrowing base under the revolving credit facility increased from $60.0
million to $90.0. In addition, the maturity date was extended from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010. On August 31, 2009, the lender completed its periodic redetermination of our borrowing base giving consideration to our year-end 2008
and mid-year 2009 reserve information and then current bank pricing decks, among other factors. As a result of this redetermination, our available borrowing base was reset at $45.0 million, primarily in response to significant declines in commodity
prices. Our outstanding principal balance at the effective time of this redetermination was approximately $59.0 million. The approximately $14.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facility in excess of the new borrowing base was
converted into a term loan as of August 31, 2009. An initial $2.0 million payment was made on the term loan at that time and we agreed to make additional monthly payments of $1.0 million commencing on September 30, 2009, with all unpaid
amounts due on March 31, 2010. We repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan in full in February 2010.

Outstanding
borrowings under the term loan accrued interest at the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 4% or, at our option, at the base rate (which was the highest of the lenders prime rate, the Federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%,
and the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1%) plus 3%. Effective August 31, 2009, we also agreed to adjustments in the commitment fees, interest rates for revolving loans and fees for letters of credit under our credit facility. Specifically, we
agreed to pay (a) commitment fees ranging from 0.5% to 0.625% (an increase from 0.15% to 0.25%), (b) margin interest rates ranging from 2.75% to 3.50% for Eurodollar loans (an increase from 1.25% to 2.0%), (c) margin interest rates
ranging from 1.75% to 2.5% for base rate loans (an increase from 1.25% to 2.0%), and (d) letter of credit fees at the margin interest rates for Eurodollar loans, in each case based on our utilization percentage. In addition, we agreed to
limitations on certain dispositions and investments by us, and to mandatory prepayments of the loans from the net cash proceeds of specified asset sales and other events.

Effective December 31, 2009, we entered into the amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative
agent, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto. The restated credit agreement amended and restated our original 2005 credit agreement primarily to reflect the subsequent amendments thereto and to extend the maturity date of the
revolving loan under our original 2005 credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. from March 31, 2010 to April 1, 2011. The restated credit agreement did not alter the March 31, 2010 maturity date of the term loan outstanding under
the original 2005 credit agreement. Our obligations under the restated credit agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiaries.

The restated credit agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to the following financial
covenants: (a) the ratio of funded debt to EBITDAX (net income before deductions for taxes, excluding unrealized gains and losses related to trading securities and commodity hedges, plus depreciation, depletion, amortization and interest
expense, plus exploration costs deducted in determining net income under full cost accounting) for a twelve-month period may not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00; and (b) the ratio of EBITDAX to interest expense for a twelve-month period may not be
less than 3.00 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2010. We have also agreed with the lenders that we will maintain liquidity in an amount of $1.0 million as of May 31, 2010 and increasing by $1.0 million per
month to $5.0 million by September 30, 2010 in the form of cash and/or available borrowings under our credit agreement. As we have historically, we continue to make all interest payments on time.

As of June 30, 2010, approximately $43.0 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which is included in long-term
debt, net of current maturities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 3.50% (3.85% at June 30, 2010). We have used the proceeds of our borrowings
under the credit facility for the development of our oil and natural gas properties and other capital expenditures, acquisition opportunities and for other general corporate purposes.

As noted above, our revolving credit facility currently matures in April 2011. As we have historically, we continue to make all interest
payments on time and since December 2008, have made principal payments of approximately $47.5 million on our revolving credit facility with no additional borrowings thereunder. Although we have had preliminary discussions with various lenders
regarding a new revolving credit facility and have received proposed term sheets from such lenders, no definitive agreement has been reached at this time regarding the refinancing of our revolving credit facility. We intend to proceed with the loan
documentation process with the selected lenders in the near future.

##### Table of Contents

On July 10, 2006, we entered into a $5.0 million term loan agreement with Bank of
America, N.A. related to the purchase of new gas compressor units. The loan began amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2007 on a straight-line basis over seven years based on the outstanding principal balance at December 31, 2006. Amounts
borrowed bear interest at Bank of America prime (3.25% at June 30, 2010). We make quarterly interest payments on amounts borrowed under the agreement. Our obligations under the agreement are collateralized by a lien on the compressor units. As
of June 30, 2010, approximately $2.5 million was outstanding under this agreement, of which $714,000 and $1.8 million are included in current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities, respectively, on our
accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Building Loans. In June 2004, we purchased the office building we occupy in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for $3.7 million. One of the two loans associated with this building, with an original principal amount of $389,000, matured in March 2006 and bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The other loan associated with this
building, with an original principal amount of $3.0 million, matures in June 2011 and bears interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum. As of June 30, 2010, approximately $2.5 million was outstanding on this loan. The loan requires monthly
interest and principal payments and is collateralized by the related land and building.

Capital Expenditures. Our
recent capital commitments have been primarily for the development of our proved reserves, to increase our net acreage position in Grizzly and fund Grizzlys delineation drilling program and for acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin. Our
strategy is to continue to (1) increase cash flow generated from our operations by undertaking new drilling, workover, sidetrack and recompletion projects to exploit our existing properties, subject to economic and industry conditions, and
(2) explore acquisition and disposition opportunities. We have upgraded our infrastructure and our existing facilities in Southern Louisiana with the goal of increasing operating efficiencies and volume capacities and lowering lease operating
expenses. These upgrades were also intended to better enable our facilities to withstand future hurricanes with less damage. Additionally, we completed the reprocessing of 3-D seismic data in one of our principal properties, WCBB. The reprocessed
data enables our geophysicists to continue to generate new prospects and enhance existing prospects in the intermediate zones in the field, thus creating a portfolio of new drilling opportunities. In addition, with our acquisition of strategic
assets in the Permian Basin in West Texas, we are required to pay 50% of all drilling costs for drilling activity on such properties. To combat significant declines in the commodity prices during the second half of 2008, management undertook a
series of actions aimed at reducing capital spending and operating costs. As a result, we reduced our drilling and other capital activities to a minimum in the fourth quarter of 2008, releasing all rigs in Southern Louisiana and the Permian and only
selectively participating in wells in the Bakken. During 2009, we were not bound by lease obligations and long term capital commitments relating to the exploration or development of our oil and gas properties. As a result of the then current
economic conditions, we initially reduced our estimated capital activities and aggressively sought price concessions from our service providers until such time costs were reduced to more appropriate levels. In June 2009, we restarted our drilling
programs. We commenced our 2010 drilling programs during March 2010. Currently, our AFE costs have been reduced by 35% to 40% since 2008.

Of our net reserves at December 31, 2009, 65.4% were categorized as proved undeveloped. Our proved reserves will generally decline
as reserves are depleted, except to the extent that we conduct successful exploration or development activities or acquire properties containing proved developed reserves, or both. To realize reserves and increase production, we must continue our
exploratory drilling, undertake other replacement activities or use third parties to accomplish those activities.

Our
inventory of prospects includes approximately 21 drilling locations at WCBB. The drilling schedule used in our December 31, 2009 reserve report anticipates that all of those wells will be drilled by 2012. From January 1, 2010 through
July 31, 2010, we recompleted 40 wells and drilled 15 wells, with 13 completed as producers, one waiting on completion and one currently drilling. We currently intend to recomplete an additional 10 wells and drill an additional five new wells
during 2010. Our aggregate drilling and recompletion expenditures are currently estimated to be approximately $31.0 million to $33.0 million to drill 19 to 21 new wells and recomplete approximately 50 existing wells in our WCBB field during 2010.

In our East Hackberry field, from January 1, 2010 through July 31, 2010, we recompleted six existing wells and
drilled four wells, of which three were completed as producers and one well is currently drilling. We currently intend to drill another two new wells during 2010. Total capital expenditures for our East Hackberry field during 2010 are estimated at
$12.0 to $13.0 million.

In the Permian Basin, we have identified 183 gross (89 net) future development drilling locations.
Ten gross (five net) wells have been drilled on this acreage in 2010, of which seven were completed as producers, two are waiting on completion and one well is currently drilling. We currently anticipate drilling 14 to 16 additional gross (7 to 8
net) wells during 2010. In addition, we expect that ten gross (five net) wells will be recompleted on this acreage during 2010. We currently anticipate that our capital requirements to drill a total of 24 to 26 gross (12 to 13 net) wells and
recomplete ten gross (five net) wells in the Permian Basin in West Texas will be approximately $16.0 to $18.0 million during 2010.

In the Niobrara Shale in Western Colorado, we are currently in the process of planning a 60 square mile 3-D seismic survey which we
expect to begin permitting in the fall of 2010 and shooting in the spring of 2011. During the remainder of 2010, we currently expect drilling at least two vertical wells in the Niobrara Shale and perform hydraulic fracturing on a non-producing well
already drilled on our Niobrara acreage. We currently anticipate that our total capital expenditures in the Niobrara Shale will be approximately $1.0 to $2.0 million in 2010.

During the third quarter of 2006, we purchased a 24.9999% interest in Grizzly. As of June 30, 2010, our net investment in Grizzly
was approximately $24.6 million. In addition, we have loaned Grizzly $17,049,000 including interest and net of foreign currency adjustments as of June 30, 2010. Our capital requirements in 2010 for this project are estimated to be approximately
$5.0 million, primarily for the expenses associated with the initial preparations of the Algar Lake facility and planned drilling activity during the 2010-2011 winter drilling season.

Capital expenditures in 2010 relating to our interest in Thailand are expected to be
approximately $0.8 million, which we believe will be mostly funded from our share of production from the Phu Horm field.

Our
total capital expenditures for 2010 are currently estimated to be in the range of $65.0 to $70.0 million. This is up significantly from the $45.0 million spent in 2009 due to improved commodity pricing and cost environment. In response to the
challenging economic conditions existing at the time, we reduced our 2009 drilling and other capital activities. In addition, through our cost reduction initiatives, AFE costs have been reduced by 35% to 40% from costs quoted in 2008. We intend to
continue to monitor pricing and cost developments and make adjustments to our capital expenditure program as warranted.

We
believe that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our normal recurring operating needs and our WCBB, Hackberry, Permian Basin and Grizzly capital requirements for the next twelve months. In the event we elect to
further expand or accelerate our drilling programs, pursue acquisitions or accelerate our Canadian oil sands project, we would be required to obtain additional funds which we would seek to do through traditional borrowings, offerings of debt or
equity securities or other means, including the sale of assets. In addition, the revolving credit facility under our credit agreement matures in April 2011. Needed capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to
obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay or curtail implementation of our business plan or not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us.

Commodity Price Risk

In
2009, we entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $55.17 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials, for the period April 2009 to August 2009.
We also entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $54.81 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials, for the period September 2009 to December
2009. In 2009, we terminated forward sales contracts for the months of March and May 2009 for an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million. For the period January 2010 through February 2010, we entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of
3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $54.81 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials. For the period March 2010 through December 2010, we have entered into forward sales contracts for the
sale of 2,300 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $58.24 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials. Under these contracts, we have committed to deliver approximately 45% of our estimated 2010
production. Such arrangements may expose us to risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances where production is less than expected or oil prices increase. These forward sales contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges
and recorded at fair value pursuant to FASB ASC 815 and related pronouncements.

Commitments

In connection with the acquisition in 1997 of the remaining 50% interest in the WCBB properties, we assumed the sellers (Chevron)
obligation to contribute approximately $18,000 per month through March 2004, to a plugging and abandonment trust and the obligation to plug a minimum of 20 wells per year for 20 years commencing March 11, 1997. Chevron retained a security
interest in production from these properties until abandonment obligations to Chevron have been fulfilled. Beginning in 2009, we could access the trust for use in plugging and abandonment charges associated with the property. As of June 30,
2010, the plugging and abandonment trust totaled approximately $3,128,000. At June 30, 2010, we had plugged 293 wells at WCBB since we began our plugging program in 1997, which management believes fulfills our current minimum plugging
obligation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements, which provides amendments to FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, (FASB ASC 820). FASB ASC 820 requires additional disclosures about (a) the different classes of assets and
liabilities measured at fair value, (b) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (c) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and (d) significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. The updated guidance is effective for
annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We adopted FASB ASC 820 effective January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.



|ITEM 3. | QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------

Our revenues, operating results, profitability, future rate of growth and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties depend
primarily upon the prevailing prices for oil and natural gas. Historically, oil and natural gas prices have been volatile and are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional
factors, including: worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and natural gas; the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas; the
expected rates of declining current production; weather conditions, including hurricanes, that can affect oil and natural gas operations over a wide area; the level of consumer demand; the price and availability of alternative fuels; technical
advances affecting energy consumption; risks associated with

##### Table of Contents

operating drilling rigs; the availability of pipeline capacity; the price and level of foreign imports; domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes; the ability of the members of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls; political instability or armed conflict in oil and natural gas producing regions; and the overall economic environment. These factors and the
volatility of the energy markets make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. For example, the West Texas Intermediate posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $30.28 per barrel, or
bbl, in December 2008 to a high of $145.31 per bbl in July 2008. The Henry Hub spot market price of natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.83 per million British thermal units, or MMBtu, in September 2009 to a high of $15.52 per MMBtu in January
2006. On June 30, 2010, the West Texas Intermediate posted price for crude oil was $75.59 per bbl and the Henry Hub spot market price of natural gas was $4.62 per MMBtu. Any substantial decline in the price of oil and natural gas will likely
have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition and level of expenditures for the development of our oil and natural gas reserves, and may result in write downs of oil and natural gas properties due to ceiling test limitations.

In 2009, we entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted
average daily price of $55.17 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials, for the period April 2009 to August 2009. We also entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted
average daily price of $54.81 per barrel, before transportation costs and differentials, for the period September 2009 to December 2009. In 2009, we terminated forward sales contracts for the months of March and May 2009 for an aggregate of
approximately $2.0 million. For the period January 2010 through February 2010, we entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 3,000 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $54.81 per barrel, before
transportation costs and differentials. For the period March 2010 through December 2010, we have entered into forward sales contracts for the sale of 2,300 barrels of WCBB production per day at a weighted average daily price of $58.24 per barrel,
before transportation costs and differentials. Under these contracts, we have committed to deliver approximately 45% of our estimated 2010 production. Such arrangements may expose us to risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including
instances where production is less than expected or oil prices increase. These forward sales contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges and recorded at fair value pursuant to FASB ASC 815 and related pronouncements.

Our revolving credit facility and term loans with Bank of America are structured under floating rate terms and, as such, our interest
expense is sensitive to fluctuations in the prime rates in the U.S. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility with Bank of America bear interest at the Eurodollar rate plus 3.50% (3.85% at June 30, 2010). Borrowings under our compressor
term loan with Bank of America bear interest at Bank of America prime (3.25% at June 30, 2010). Based on the current debt structure, a 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $455,000 per year, based on an
aggregate of $45.5 million outstanding under our credit facilities as of June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we did not have any interest rate swaps to hedge our interest risks.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, we have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are also intended to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As of June 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon our
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



|ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

The
Louisiana Department of Revenue, or LDR, is disputing our severance tax payments to the State of Louisiana from the sale of oil under fixed price contracts during the years 2005 through 2007. The LDR maintains that we paid approximately $1.8 million
less in severance taxes under fixed price terms than the severance taxes we would have had to pay had we paid severance taxes on the oil at the contracted market rates only. We have denied any liability to the LDR for underpayment of severance taxes
and have maintained that we were entitled to enter into the fixed price contracts with unrelated third parties and pay severance taxes based upon the proceeds received under those contracts. We have maintained our right to contest any final
assessment or suit for collection if

brought by the State. On April 20, 2009, the LDR filed a lawsuit in the
15thJudicial District Court, Lafayette Parish, in
Louisiana against our company seeking $2,275,729 in severance taxes, plus interest and court costs. We filed a response denying any liability to the LDR for underpayment of severance taxes and are defending our Company in the lawsuit. The case is in
the early stages of discovery.

In November 2006, Cudd Pressure Control, Inc., or Cudd, filed a lawsuit against us, Great
White Pressure Control LLC, or Great White, and six former Cudd employees in the 129th Judicial District Harris County, Texas. The lawsuit was subsequently removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston
Division). The lawsuit alleged RICO violations and several other causes of action relating to Great Whites employment of the former Cudd employees and sought unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. On stipulation by the parties,
the plaintiffs RICO claim was dismissed without prejudice by order of the court on February 14, 2007. We filed a motion for summary judgment on October 5, 2007. The Court entered a final interlocutory judgment in favor of all
defendants, including us, on April 8, 2008. On November 3, 2008, Cudd filed its appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit vacated the district court decision finding, among other things, that the
district court should not have entered summary judgment without first allowing more discovery. The case was remanded to the district court, and Cudd filed a motion to remand the case to the original state court, which motion was granted. On
February 3, 2010, Cudd filed its second amended petition with the state court (a) alleging that we conspired with the other defendants to misappropriate, and misappropriated, Cudds trade secrets and caused its employees to breach
their fiduciary duties, and (b) seeking unspecified monetary damages. On April 13, 2010, our motion to be dismissed from the proceeding for lack of personal jurisdiction was denied. This state court proceeding is in its initial stages.

Due to the current stages of the above litigation, the outcomes are uncertain and management cannot determine the amount of
loss, if any, that may result. Litigation is inherently uncertain. Adverse decisions in one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to the above, we have been named as a defendant in various other lawsuits related to our business. The ultimate resolution of
such other matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
