INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT


To the Board of Directors
The Triad Companies
Marietta, Ohio

I have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The Combined Triad Companies (two S corporations) as described in Note A, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related combined statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies’ management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
 
I conducted my audits in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
 
In my opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Combined Triad Companies as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

THE COMBINED TRIAD COMPANIES
DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2009 and 2008

  
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Triad Energy Corporation (Energy) (an S Corporation) started operations in 1987.  Energy is engaged in the exploration, development, and production of natural gas and crude oil, as well as, transporting, gathering and purchasing gas for resale.  Energy operates within the states of Ohio and West Virginia, and Energy owns ninety-eight (98) percent of the member units of Triad Oil and Gas, Co., Ltd. (TOG) (a limited liability company) and seventy-eight (78) percent of the member units of TriTex Energy, LLC. and TriTex Resources, LLC. (limited liability companies).  These investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting by Energy.  TOG owns interests in oil wells in the state of Kentucky and TriTex Energy, LLC. owns interests in oil and gas wells in the state of Texas, which are operated by TriTex Resources, LLC.

Triad Resources, Inc. (Resources) (an S corporation) started operations in 1992.  Resources operates oil and gas wells in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky for Energy, TOG and other unrelated well owners.

The administrative offices for the companies are located in Marietta, Ohio.  The primary service yards are located in Marietta, Ohio, Granny’s Creek, West Virginia and Primrose, Kentucky.

On December 10, 2008 the majority owner passed away and on November 22, 2009 the remaining shareholder passed away.  Their ownership shares have been transferred to their respective estates.

Petition for Relief under Chapter 11
On December 31, 2008 Triad Companies (the Debtor) filed petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the     federal bankruptcy laws of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio.  Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while the Debtor continues business operations as Debtor-in-possession. These claims are reflected in the December 31, 2008 Balance Sheet as “liabilities subject to compromise.” Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. Claims secured against the Debtor’s assets (secured claims) also are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay.  Secured claims are secured primarily by liens on the Debtor’s property, plant, and equipment.  The Debtor received approval from the Bankruptcy court to pay or otherwise honor certain of its prepetition obligations, including employee wages and debt.  The Debtor has determined that there is sufficient collateral to cover the interest portion of scheduled payments on its prepetition debt obligations.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  

  
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Plan of Reorganization
The US Bankruptcy Court entered an order on January 28, 2010 confirming Triad Energy Corp’s. plan of reorganization.  The Confirmation Order ratifies and approves Magnum Hunter Resources Corp’s. (NYSE Amex:MHR) Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Triad and certain affiliated entities.  The company anticipates the financial closing of the Triad acquisition will be prior to February 15, 2010.

Principles of Combination
The combined financial statements of The Triad Companies include the accounts of Energy and Resources (the “Combined Companies”), which are related through common ownership and management.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the companies included their pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the limited liability companies.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the production of natural gas and oil properties in which the Combined Companies have an interest are based on the respective Company’s net working and override interests.  These revenues are recorded when title passes to the purchasers.

Field operations revenue is primarily derived from services provided to the wells the Combined Companies operate under contract.  These charges include pumping, repairs, maintenance, salt water disposal, an allocation of general and administrative and general supervision.  Revenues are recorded as the services are provided.  The Combined Companies recognize gathering revenues at the time the natural gas is delivered.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Combined Companies define cash equivalents as all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 at December 31, 2009 and $100,000 at December 31, 2008.  At times during the year, Energy and Resources had cash in excess of these Federally insured limits.  The Combined Companies have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  

    
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Combined Companies maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts when deemed appropriate to reflect losses that could result from failures by customers or other parties to make payments on trade receivables. The estimates of this allowance, when maintained, are based on a number of factors, including historical experience, aging of the trade accounts receivable, specific information obtained on the financial condition of customers and specific agreements or negotiated amounts with customers.  As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Combined Companies receivables were from entities and individuals in the oil and gas industry in Southeastern Ohio, Northwestern and Central West Virginia, Central Kentucky, New Mexico and Texas.

Notes Receivable
The notes receivable is from completed wells, and is anticipated to be collected out of well production.

Inventories
Inventories of material, pipe and supplies are carried at the lower of cost or market using the specific identification method.  Crude oil inventories are stated at the lower of field lifting cost consisting of average direct third party cost per barrel, plus a per barrel depletion rate which was determined at the field level or market price using physical measurements at year-end.  Inventory at December 31, 2009 and 2008 consisted of the following:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Crude oil
  $ 258,688     $ 182,199  
Material, pipe and supplies
    429,824       769,761  
    $ 688,512     $ 951,960  

Oil and Gas Properties
The Combined Companies utilize the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties.  Under this method, property acquisition, development costs, and certain productive exploration costs are capitalized, while non-productive exploration costs, which include geological and geophysical costs, dry holes, expired leases and delay rentals, are expensed as incurred.

Depletion on developed properties is computed using the units-of-production method, using the proved estimated recoverable reserves underlying the proved producing developed oil and gas properties.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  

     
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Oil and Gas Properties(continued)
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance.  Those unproved oil and gas properties which are not individually significant are amortized based on the Combined Companies experience of successful drilling and average lease holding period.  Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.  Support equipment and other property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Significant estimates by the Combined Companies management are involved in determining oil and gas reserve volumes and values.  Such estimates are primary factors in determining the amount of depletion expense, and whether oil and gas properties are impaired.

Gathering Systems
Gathering systems are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty-two years.

Property and Equipment
Field, operating and office equipment, and a disposal well are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from five to twenty-two years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Additions and betterments are capitalized.

Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees are being amortized over the term of the loans using the straight-line method.  Total amortization expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $509,107 and $480,598, respectively.

Contract Drilling Liabilities
Resources enters into well completion contracts on behalf of joint venture investors.

Contract drilling liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2008 represent funds advanced from joint venture investors, net of work-in-process amounts that will be applied toward the payment of future drilling costs required under these contracts.

Distribution Payable
The Combined Companies serve as operator for certain oil and gas wells in which they own a percentage interest.  As the operator, the Combined Companies act as an agent for the other well owners by collecting well income and paying well expenses.  The Combined Companies then distribute the well income net of operating expenses and production related taxes to the non-operating and royalty owners.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  

     
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Derivatives and Hedging
The Combined Companies financial results and cash flows may be significantly impacted as commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market conditions. The Combined Companies have elected to treat their crude oil derivatives as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until such time as the hedged quantities are recognized in current period net income (loss). The relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items must be highly effective in achieving the offset of changes in fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, both at the inception of the contract and on an ongoing basis. Ongoing assessments of hedge effectiveness will include verifying and documenting that the critical terms of the hedge and forecasted transaction do not change. We measure effectiveness at least on a quarterly basis.

Common and Treasury Stock
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 Triad Energy Corporation has 8,250 shares of $1 par value stack.  All such shares have been issued and outstanding; 3,536 shares were acquired by the Company and are held as Treasury stock.  All Treasury stock is stated at the price as which it was acquired by the Company.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 Triad Resources, Inc., has 2,800 shares of $1 par value stack.  All such shares have been issued and outstanding; 1,200 shares were acquired by the Company and are held as Treasury stock.  All Treasury stock is stated at the price as which it was acquired by the Company.

Simplified Employee Pension Plan and 401(k) and Profit-Sharing Plan
Resources maintains a qualified profit sharing retirement plan which includes a cash-or-deferred savings provision under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Employees must be employed on a full-time basis for three consecutive months and be eighteen years of age to participate in the plan.  Participants may contribute up to 25% of their compensation to the plan. Resources contributed a safe harbor amount of 6% of gross wages of eligible employees in 2008 for $576,162. Resources discontinued its employer contribution to the plan as of December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes
Energy and Resources, with consent of their shareholders, have each elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be an S corporation.  In lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the S corporation’s taxable income.  Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

NOTE B – SHORT-TERM DEBT
The Combined Companies have a line of credit at Peoples Banking and Trust Company for overdraft protection on its checking account.  Interest is payable monthly at the rate of 13.25% at December 31, 2008.  The total borrowing capacity was $15,000 at December 31, 2008 and was closed on January 1, 2009.

On August 31, 2008, the combined Triad Companies revolving credit agreement with Keybank National Association was closed.

The loan agreement with Capital One contains restrictions, which among other things required maintenance of certain financial rations and net worth.  The loan agreement also places restriction on the creation of any other debt, creation of liens on assets, the sale of assets and the payment of distributions.  Under the terms of the loan agreement, if such violations exist, the loans could be immediately due and payable.

Note payable to shareholder includes interest at a rate of 10.00%.  The note was unsecured and subordinate to primary lending institution.  The outstanding principal of the note was $20,776 and 46,208 at December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Other notes payable consist mainly of equipment loans with monthly payments and interest.  The interest rates on these notes vary, with none in excess of 9.24% and are secured by equipment.
