We
conveyed to Vinland 60% of our predecessor’s working interest in the known
producing horizons in approximately 95,000 gross undeveloped acres
in the
AMI, 100% of our predecessor’s interest in an additional 125,000
undeveloped acres and certain coalbed methane rights located in the
Appalachian Basin, the rights to any natural gas and oil located
on our
acreage at depths above and 100 feet below our known producing horizons
and all of our gathering and compression assets. In addition, all
of the
employees except our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive
Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer were transferred to
Vinland.
|
· |
We
entered into a management services agreement and a gathering and
compression agreement with Vinland which will fix a portion of our
production costs for wells owned in the
AMI.
|
· |
Our
predecessor did not account for its derivative instruments as cash
flow
hedges under SFAS No. 133 until the first quarter of 2007.
Accordingly, the changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments
were reflected in earnings for all periods prior to 2007 and in Other
Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended September 30,
2007.
|
· |
We
will incur additional selling, general and administrative expense
estimated to be $1.9 million per year for costs associated with being
a
public company. Also, we will incur non-cash compensation charges
for the
420,000 Class B units granted to management prior to the completion
of the offering, the 40,000 common units to be issued to future employees
and/or directors following the completion of this offering, 175,000
options granted to management under our Long-Term Incentive Plan
and
phantom units to be granted to management commencing in
2008.

in
natural gas prices. They were not specifically designated as hedges
under

in the
fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts are marked to
market
in our earnings each period. Further, these amounts represent non-cash
charges.
