Index
Quantities of natural gas are expressed in this report in terms of thousand cubic feet (Mcf)
and million cubic feet (MMcf). Oil is quantified in terms of barrels (Bbls) and thousands of
barrels (Mbbls). Natural gas is compared to oil in terms of barrels of oil equivalent (BOE),
thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE) or million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE). One barrel
of oil is the energy equivalent of six Mcf of natural gas. With respect to information relating to
our working interest in wells or acreage, net oil and natural gas wells or acreage is determined
by multiplying gross wells or acreage by our working interest therein. References to number of
potential well locations are gross, unless otherwise indicated.
References to GAAP refer to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 General
Endeavour International Corporation (a Nevada corporation) is an independent oil and gas
company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of energy reserves. As used in
these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms Endeavour, we, us,
our and similar terms refer to Endeavour International Corporation and, unless the context
indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our
Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP and have been presented on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. These accounting principles require management to use estimates, judgments and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews
its estimates, including those related to the determination of proved reserves, estimates of future
dismantlement costs, income taxes and litigation. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements. Certain
amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the following material estimates affecting
the financial statements could change in the coming year:
| proved oil and gas reserves, | ||
| expected future cash flow from proved oil and gas properties, | ||
| future dismantlement and restoration costs, | ||
| fair values used in purchase accounting; and | ||
| fair value of derivative instruments. |
New Accounting Developments
On January 1, 2010, we adopted the following new standards without material effects on our
results of operations or financial position:
| Subsequent Events Amended standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued; and |
| Fair Value New, expanded disclosures are required for recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements and the reconciliation of specific fair value measurements. |

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Amounts in tables in thousands, except per unit data)
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard on
fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure
requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures
about fair value measurements. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this
accounting guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance impacting the presentation of comprehensive income. The
guidance eliminates the current option to report components of other comprehensive income in the
statement of changes in equity or in a footnote to the financial statements. The guidance is
intended to provide a more consistent method of presenting non-owner transactions that affect an
entitys equity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2011. We do not expect adoption of the comprehensive income presentation to have an
impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB amended the previously issued guidance on testing goodwill for
impairment. The revised guidance provides entities with an option of performing a qualitative
assessment prior to calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. The amended guidance is
effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests that will be performed for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this amended guidance for
goodwill impairment testing to have an impact on our financial position or on our consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.

The costs not subject to amortization relate to unproved properties and properties being made
ready to be placed into service, which are excluded from amortizable capital costs until it is
determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. We capitalized $4.0
million and $1.2 million in interest related to exploration activities for the quarters ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,
we capitalized $9.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in interest related to exploration.
For the third quarter of 2011, we recorded an impairment of $28.8 million related to our U.S. oil
and gas properties, including $18 million related to our decision to discontinue activities in
Alabama, through the application of the full cost ceiling test at the end of the quarter. We
completed our analysis of our test wells in the Alabama area and determined that the likely
economic returns in the future would not warrant further investment and therefore reclassified
these amounts as evaluated for full cost accounting purposes. The prices used to determine the
impairment for the U.S. properties were $94.48 per barrel for oil and $4.20 per Mcf for gas. We did
not have an impairment of U.K. oil and gas properties, pre-tax, through the application of the full
cost ceiling test at the end of the third quarter 2011. The prices used for the full cost ceiling
test for the U.K. properties were $105.30 per barrel for oil and $8.79 per Mcf for gas.
Assets Acquisition
On February 23, 2011, we closed our acquisition of an additional 20% working interest in the
Bacchus field for approximately $9.2 million in cash paid at closing and approximately $6.2 million
in cash payable at the earlier of three months after first oil is produced or the end of 2011. In
addition, we paid capital costs incurred by the seller of $9.4 million. Following the acquisition,
we hold an aggregate 30% working interest.

Pending Acquisition
On July 17, 2011, we entered into purchase and sale agreements, subject to the completion of
due diligence and certain closing conditions, with SM Energy Company and certain other minority
owners to acquire the leasehold and producing interests in the Marcellus shale in north central
Pennsylvania, as well as a pipeline and related facilities in McKean and Potter Counties,
Pennsylvania, for aggregate consideration of $110 million, including a $2 million deposit paid upon
executing the agreement. In October 2011, we extended the period for completing our due diligence
process by paying an additional $4 million deposit. We have until December 14, 2011 to close this
acquisition.
Note 3 Debt Obligations
At September 30, 2011, we had $471.7 million in outstanding debt. Our outstanding credit
facilities contain certain financial ratio covenants. We were in compliance with all financial and
restrictive covenants of our debt obligations as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Our
debt consisted of the following at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

with a portion of the proceeds from our common stock offering completed in March 2011. The
redemption was made at a price of 100% of the Senior Notes principal amount, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Senior Term Loan
On February 6, 2011, we amended our Senior Term Loan due 2013 to increase the security
reserved for potential letters of credit from $25 million to $35 million. In July 2011, we secured
new letters of credit that allowed us to release the $33 million of restricted cash that served as
collateral for previous letters of credit.
The Amendment of our 11.5% Convertible Bonds and the redemption of all $81.25 million of our
outstanding 6% Senior Notes satisfied the two conditions precedent to extend the maturity date of
the Senior Term Loan to August 16, 2013
On July 15, 2011, we amended our Senior Term Loan to provide for an increase of $75 million in the
borrowings available under the Senior Term Loan. In connection with the increase, we drew down the
full additional amounts available and our quarterly scheduled amortization payments on the Senior
Term Loan increased from $400,000 to $587,500. The other primary provisions of the amendment
include:
| consent and approval by the lenders of the issuance of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and certain conforming amendments with respect to the issuance of those notes, including an increase in the basket available for the issuance of junior debt from $100 million to $135 million; | ||
| an amendment to the negative pledge provision to allow us to provide up to $10 million of cash margin to secure hedging obligations and; | ||
| an extension by one additional quarter to the scheduled step up in the minimum secured debt coverage ratio. |
11.5% Convertible Bonds
On March 11, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the Trust Deed with Smedvig QIF PLC related
to our 11.5% Convertible Bonds due 2014. The amendment provides for:
| the amendment of the maturity date of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds from January 24, 2014 to January 24, 2016; | ||
| the amendment of the date upon which the holders of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds may first exercise a put right, and the occurrence of the conversion price reset if such put right is not exercised, from January 24, 2012 to January 24, 2016; and | ||
| a reduction in the interest rate payable from 11.5% to 7.5% on and after March 31, 2014. |
We recorded a loss of $0.8 million in other expenses related to this amendment, representing the
difference between the fair value of the debt and the book value of the debt at March 11, 2011.

5.5% Convertible Senior Notes
On July 18, 2011, we issued $135 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2016. Interest on these notes will be payable semiannually at a rate of 5.5% per
annum. The 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an
initial conversion rate of 54.019 shares (equivalent to $18.51 per share) of common stock per
$1,000 principal amount of the notes. We issued the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, expecting to
utilize the majority of the net proceeds of this offering to fund our pending acquisition of
acreage and related midstream assets in the Marcellus shale play. If we are unable to complete the
Marcellus acquisition, these proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.
Letter of Credit Agreement
On July 25, 2011, we entered into a letter of credit facility agreement (the LC Agreement)
with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), pursuant to which CBA issued letters of credit to us
in the amount of £20.6 million (approximately $35 million as of July 25, 2011). Concurrent with
the issuance of the letters of credit, the restrictions on £20.6 million of our restricted cash
were removed and the cash returned for general corporate purposes. The letters of credit secure
decommissioning obligations in connection with certain of our United Kingdom Continental Shelf
Petroleum Production Licences. The LC Agreement provides that we pay a quarterly fee computed at a
rate of 4.5% per year on the outstanding amount of each letter of credit issued under the LC
Agreement. The LC Agreement contains similar financial covenants and other covenants as the credit
agreement governing our Senior Term Loan. The CBA letters of credit are renewable at our option on
October 31, 2012 and through the expiration of the LC Agreement
on October 31, 2013.
Fair Value
The fair value of our outstanding debt obligations was $424 million and $361 million at
September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fair values of long-term debt were
determined based upon external market quotes for our Senior Notes and discounted cash flows for
other debt.
Note 4 Asset Retirement Obligations
Our asset retirement obligations relate to obligations for the future plugging and abandonment
of oil and gas properties. The following table provides a rollforward of our asset retirement
obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Note 7 Loss Per Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share
includes the effect of our outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable pursuant to
convertible debt, convertible preferred stock and certain stock incentive plans under the treasury
stock method, if including such instruments would be dilutive.
For each of the periods presented, shares associated with stock options, warrants, convertible
debt, convertible preferred stock and certain stock incentive plans were not included because their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The common shares potentially issuable arising from these instruments, which were outstanding
during the periods presented in the financial statements consisted of:

Note 8 Fair Value Measurements
We apply fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities including derivative
instruments, marketable securities and embedded derivatives relating to conversion and change in
control features in certain of our debt instruments. We seek to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value
measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: | Fair value is based on actively-quoted market prices, if available. | |
Level 2: | In the absence of actively-quoted market prices, we seek price information from external sources, including broker quotes and industry publications. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace during the entire term of the instrument, derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. | |
Level 3: | If valuations require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources, we must estimate prices based on available historical and near-term future price information and certain statistical methods that reflect our market assumptions. |
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 valuation of our
investments and financial instruments by pricing levels as of September 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010:

Our commodity derivative contracts have been derived using models that consider various inputs
including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward
prices for natural gas and crude oil, volatility factors and interest rates, such as a LIBOR curve
for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term. The inputs for the fair value models
for our swaps are all observable market data, and as a result these instruments have been
classified as Level 2.

Note 9 Derivative Instruments
From time to time, we may utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows from
operations or to hedge the fair value of financial instruments. We may use derivative financial
instruments with respect to a portion of our oil and gas production or a portion of our variable
rate debt to achieve a more predictable cash flow by reducing our
exposure to price fluctuations.

These transactions are likely to be swaps, collars or options and to be entered into with
major financial institutions or commodities trading institutions. Derivative financial instruments
are intended to reduce our exposure to declines in the market prices of crude oil and natural gas
that we produce and sell, or to increases in interest rates and to manage cash flows in support of
our annual capital expenditure budget. We also have embedded derivatives related to our debt
instruments and convertible preferred stock.

Item 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The
following discussion also includes non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, we strongly encourage
investors to review our financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial
measure.
Overview
We are an independent oil and gas company engaged in the production, exploration, development
and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas in the U.S. and the North Sea. Our strategy is to
expand and exploit our balanced portfolio of exploration and development assets using conventional
and unconventional technologies in basins that have historically generated and produced substantial
quantities of oil and gas and that we believe will yield commercial quantities of reserves through
improved drilling and completion technologies. Finding, developing and producing oil and gas
reserves in the North Sea require both significant capital and time. Recognizing this, we have
sought to balance our North Sea assets, which have large potential reserves but long
production-cycles, with a portfolio of assets in the U.S. that have lower costs and shorter
production-cycles. We also seek to achieve a balance of oil and gas reserves in our portfolio of
assets, believing that both commodities present attractive opportunities for capital returns in the
future.
Our North Sea activities and assets remain a key source of value that we are actively developing to
increase our overall reserves and production. Our major development projects in the U.K. sector of
the North Sea Bacchus and Greater Rochelle have the potential to significantly expand our
total proved reserves and production levels. These projects are in various stages of development,
with Bacchus currently expected to commence oil production during early 2012. Additionally, we
expect that production from our development of the Greater Rochelle area will commence during the
fourth quarter of 2012.
Through the first nine months of 2011, our primary focus in the U.S. has been unconventional gas
developments targeting reserve and production growth in the Haynesville area, including the
Louisiana Haynesville Shale and East Texas Cotton Valley Sands, and the Marcellus Shale play in
Pennsylvania. In the Haynesville area, we have approximately 7,200 net acres with acreage located
in Red River, DeSoto, Bienville and Caddo Parishes in Louisiana and in Harrison and Gregg Counties
in Texas. Our Marcellus acreage is comprised of approximately 18,400 net acres in Pennsylvania
located between two of the most active parts of the Marcellus play. We also initiated exploratory
plans in emerging gas and oil plays in Alabama and Montana. In
Montana, we recently drilled four vertical pilot tests and evaluation of those results will
determine the pace and scope of our subsequent exploration and development initiatives. In
Alabama, we have decided to discontinue further efforts there due to economic considerations.

Endeavour International Corporation
We are expanding upon our foundation of producing assets and undeveloped acreage in both
established and emerging U.S. onshore resource plays, including the development of our leasehold
positions in the Haynesville and Marcellus areas, while continuing to develop our existing assets
in the North Sea. Specifically, we have continued to focus on achieving initial production from
the Bacchus oil field in the North Sea. We believe that the following will support us in executing
our core business strategies.
| In July 2011, we secured new letters of credit that allowed us to release the $33 million of restricted cash into operations that served as collateral for previous letters of credit. |
| In July 2011, we entered into purchase and sale agreements, subject to the completion of due diligence and certain closing conditions, with SM Energy Company and certain other minority owners to acquire the leasehold and producing interests held by SM Energy and its partners in the Marcellus shale in north central Pennsylvania, as well as a pipeline and related facilities, for aggregate consideration of $110 million. |
| In July 2011, we issued $135 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes. We issued the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes, expecting to utilize the majority of the net proceeds of this offering to fund our pending acquisition of acreage and related midstream assets in the Marcellus shale play. If we are unable to complete the Marcellus acquisition, these proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes. |
| In July 2011, we entered into an amendment to our Senior Term Loan providing for an increase of $75 million in the amounts available under the Senior Term Loan. The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. |
| In April 2011, we redeemed all $81.25 million of our outstanding 6% Senior Notes with a portion of the proceeds from our common stock offering completed in March 2011. |
| In March 2011, we closed a public offering of 11.5 million shares of our common stock offering for net proceeds of $118.4 million. |
| In March 2011, we completed the transfer of the primary listing for our common stock from the NYSE Amex to the New York Stock Exchange. |
| In March 2011, we entered into an Amendment to the Trust Deed dated as of January 24, 2008 with Smedvig QIF PLC and the other parties thereto related to our 11.5% Convertible Bonds. The amendment provides for an extension of the maturity date of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds; extends the date on which holders may exercise a put right, and the occurrence of price reset if not exercised; and a reduction in the interest rate payable after March 31, 2014 to 7.5%. |
| In February 2011, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (the DECC) approved the Rochelle FDP for Block 15/27 in East Rochelle. In April 2011, we announced the agreement of the commercial terms for the processing and transportation of East Rochelle production on the Scott Platform in the Central North Sea. As the operator, we plan to award contracts and commence immediate construction of the production facilities. First production from East Rochelle is planned for the second half of 2012. |
| In February 2011, we finalized our acquisition of an additional 20% working interest in the Bacchus development for approximately $9.2 million in cash paid at closing and approximately $6.2 million in cash payable at the earlier of three months after first oil is produced or the end of 2011. In addition, we paid capital costs previously incurred by the |

seller of $9.4 million. Following the acquisition, we now hold an aggregate working interest of 30%. |
| In February 2011, we amended our Senior Term Loan to increase the security reserved for potential letters of credit from $25 million to $35 million. In July 2011, we secured new letters of credit that allowed us to release the $33 million of restricted cash that served as collateral for previous letters of credit. · |
Results of Operations
Revenue, net income and cash flows from operating activities are very sensitive to changes in
prices received for our products. With our business policy to utilize various oil and gas
derivative instruments to achieve more predictable cash flows by reducing our exposure to price
fluctuations, our realized commodity prices including the effect of derivatives, particularly for
oil, were less volatile than commodity prices before the effect of derivatives.
Net loss to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $87.9 million, or
$2.52 per share, compared to $28.0 million, or $1.22 per share, for the same period in 2010. The
change in the net loss to common shareholders for these periods is primarily due to an impairment
of oil and gas properties, increased deferred tax expense related to an increase in the tax rate in
the U.K., decreased revenue and increased operating and interest expenses.
Net loss to common shareholders for the third quarter September 30, 2011 increased to $63.8 million
compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2010 primarily due to an impairment of oil and gas
properties, increased deferred tax expense related to an increase in the tax rate in the U.K.,
decreased revenue and increased interest expenses.
In addition to our operations, our net income can be significantly affected by various non-cash
items, such as unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives, impairment of oil and gas
properties, and currency impact of long-term liabilities. Excluding these non-cash items, net loss
as adjusted for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $44.4 million as compared to net loss
as adjusted of $23.7 million for the same period in 2010. Net loss as adjusted for the third
quarter September 30, 2011 was $22.1 million s as compared to net loss as adjusted of $14.0 million
for the same period in 2010. The increases in net loss as adjusted are primarily due to decreased
revenue and increased operating and interest expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $31.0
million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to decreased revenue related to the loss of
production after the shut-in of our Goldeneye field and increased operating and other expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2.4 million for the third quarter September 30, 2011 compared to $8.2 million
for the same period in 2010 due to decreased revenue related to the loss of production after the
shut-in of our Goldeneye field. For definitions of Net Income (Loss) as
Adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation of each to the nearest comparable GAAP measure,
please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.
Our cash flows used by operating activities decreased to $(28.6) million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $31.3
20
Table of Contents
Endeavour International Corporation
million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to a loss of revenue from decreased
production, increased interest expense related to debt incurred in the third quarters of 2010 and
2011 and increased operating expenses.
Revenue and Sales Volume
Our revenues decreased from $55.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $43.5
million in the same period of 2011 primarily as a result of the shutdown of our U.K. Goldeneye
field and lower averaged realized natural gas prices, partially offset by increased U.S. gas sales
volumes and higher oil prices. The change in our average realized natural gas prices is the result
of a combination of factors. Our expanded operations in the U.S. along with the shutdown of
Goldeneye have led to U.S. sales becoming the majority of our total gas sales. The significant
increase of supply of natural gas from shale drilling has heavily impacted the U.S. gas markets and
prices, and combined with the significant shift in our gas sales from the U.K. to the U.S.,
resulted in the decrease in our average realized gas prices.
For the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, we had sales volume of 2,972 BOE per day and 4,755 BOE per
day, respectively. Our physical daily production was approximately 3,274 BOE and 4,988 BOE for the
third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in sales volume is primarily
attributable to the shutdown of our Goldeneye field and production interruptions at our producing
Bittern field in the U.K. that prevented oil liftings, partially offset by an increase in sales
volumes from our U.S. assets. Sales from our U.S. assets have increased as we have continued our
drilling program since our initial acquisitions of these assets in late 2009.
The following table shows our average sales volumes and realized sales prices for our operations
for the periods presented.

(1) | We record oil revenues using the sales method, i.e. when delivery has occurred. Actual production may differ based on the timing of tanker liftings. We use the entitlements method to account for sales of gas production. | |
(2) | The average sales prices include gains and losses for derivative contracts we utilize to manage price risk related to our future cash flows. |
We have taken important steps to balance our asset portfolio in several dimensions: U.S. versus
U.K. properties; oil versus natural gas; and short-term versus long-term realizations. We have
constructed our asset portfolio in this manner in an attempt to mitigate the risks of
over-emphasizing any one of these variables. Specifically, we believe that the resource-rich plays
in the U.S., with less capital-intensive and shorter production-cycles relative to our North Sea
development projects, will provide a stable platform for the successful execution of our strategy
by helping to provide cash flows from operations as we develop our longer-term, more
capital-intensive North Sea development projects.
Our revenues and cash flows from operating activities are very sensitive to changes in the prices
we receive for the oil and natural gas we produce. Our production is sold at prevailing market
prices which may be volatile and subject to numerous factors which are outside of our control.
Further, the current tightly-balanced supply and demand market allows a small variation in supply
or demand to significantly impact the market prices for these commodities.
The markets in which we sell our oil and natural gas also materially impact our revenues and cash
flows. Oil trades on a worldwide market and consequently, price movements for all types and grades
of crude oil generally trend in the same direction and within a relatively narrow price range.
However, natural gas prices vary among geographic areas as the prices received are largely impacted
by local supply and demand conditions as the global transportation infrastructure for natural gas
is still developing. As such, the oil we produce and sell is typically sold at prices in line with
global prices, whereas our natural gas is to a large extent impacted by regional supply and demand
issues and to a lesser extent by global fuel prices, including oil and coal. With the recent
increase in our U.S. operations and the shut-in of the Goldeneye field, the majority of our gas
sales are in the U.S. The U.S. gas market is heavily impacted by the increased supply from shale
drilling, which has served to depress natural gas prices relative to the U.K. market.
Expenses
For the third quarter of 2011, operating expenses decreased to $3.5 million as compared to $4.6
million for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, operating
expenses increased to $14.9 million as compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2010. The
increase in operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 2011 is primarily
related to increased U.S. workover expense and increases in transportation expense and
production taxes as a result of increased U.S. sales volumes. Operating costs per BOE increased
from $10.50 per BOE for the third quarter of 2010 to $12.79 per BOE for the same period in 2011.
Operating costs per BOE increased from $9.44 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2010,
to $17.65 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The
23
Table of Contents
Endeavour International Corporation
significant increases in operating costs per BOE are due to the impact of both the increases
in the dollar levels of operating expenses and the decreased volumes discussed above.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) expense decreased to $5.4 million from $7.7
million for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result of the decreased sales
volumes. DD&A also decreased to $18.7 million from $21.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, also as a result of the decreased sales volumes.
For the third quarter of 2011, the prices used in the full cost ceiling test for our U.S.
properties were $94.48 per barrel for oil and $4.20 per Mcf for gas. We have completed our
analysis of our test wells in the Alabama area and determined that the likely economic returns in
the future would not warrant further investment and therefore reclassified these amounts as
evaluated for full cost accounting purposes. We recorded an impairment of $28.8 during the third
quarter of 2011 for our U.S. properties, including $18 million related to our decision to
discontinue activities in Alabama. For the third quarter of 2011, the prices used in the full cost
ceiling test for our U.K. properties were $105.30 per barrel for oil and $8.79 per Mcf for gas.
The risk that we will be required to record additional impairments of our oil and gas properties,
through the application of the full cost ceiling test in subsequent periods, increases when oil and
gas prices are low or volatile.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased to $4.9 million during the third quarter of
2011 as compared to $4.2 million for the corresponding period in 2010. G&A expenses increased to
$14.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $12.9 million for the
corresponding period in 2010. These increases primarily resulted from higher compensation expense
due to expanding U.S. operations and increased legal, accounting, and consulting fees that pertain
to our expanding U.S. operations. Components of G&A expenses for these periods are as follows:

increased interest costs related to the Senior Term Loan and the 5.5% Convertible Senior
Notes, partially offset by the absence of interest in 2011 from our previously existing senior and
junior debt which were repaid concurrently with the issuance of the Senior Term Loan. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had non-cash interest expense, including amortization
of loan costs and discount, of $18.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

The change in income tax expense (benefit) from $7.9 million to $31.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, is primarily the result of the increase in
the U.K. supplementary charge from 20% to 32%. The current tax expense in both 2011 and 2010 is
related to Petroleum Revenue Tax on our Alba field in the U.K.
In July 2011, a tax increase was enacted by the U.K. government that raised the existing
supplementary charge on profits from North Sea oil and gas production from 20% to 32%, effective
March 24, 2011. This supplementary charge is in addition to the existing corporation tax rate of
30%. As we do not currently anticipate paying corporate or supplementary tax in the U.K. for the
next several years, we expect the tax increase to have little effect on our cash flow from
operations during that time period. During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded a one time
increase in deferred tax liabilities of $25.4 million, with a corresponding increase in deferred
tax expense as a result of the recent U.K. legislation.
In 2011 and 2010, we did not record any income tax benefits in the U.S. as there was no assurance
that we could generate any U.S. taxable earnings, resulting in a full valuation allowance of
deferred tax assets generated.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Net income can be significantly affected by various non-cash items, such as unrealized gains and
losses on our commodity derivatives, currency impact of long-term liabilities and deferred taxes.
Given the significant impact that non-cash items may have on our net income, we use various
measures in addition to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, including
non-financial performance indicators and non-GAAP measures as key metrics to manage our business
and measure our results of operations. These metrics demonstrate our ability to maintain or grow
production levels and reserves, internally fund capital expenditures and service debt as well as
provide comparisons to other oil and gas exploration and production companies. Net Income (Loss)
as Adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA are internal, supplemental measures of our performance that are not
required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We view these non-GAAP measures, and we
believe that others in the oil and gas industry, securities analysts, investors, and other
interested parties view these, or similar, non-GAAP measures, as commonly used analytic indicators
to compare performance among companies in our industry and in the evaluation of issuers.
Because Net Income (Loss) as Adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements determined in
accordance with GAAP and thus are susceptible to varying calculations, our non-GAAP measures as
presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Net Income (Loss)
as Adjusted and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider
these measures in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our financial statement data
presented in the consolidated financial statements as reported under GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing
activities for the periods indicated. For additional details regarding the components of our
primary cash flow amounts, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows under Item 1 of
this report.

the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $31.3 million provided by operating

activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to increased interest
expense related to our 2010 debt issuances, increased operating expenses, increased current tax
expense and decreased revenue from lower sales volumes and average released prices.
The cash provided by or used in investing activities represents expenditures for capital projects,
including our acquisition of an additional 20% working interest in the Bacchus field in the North
Sea. Our entry into a new letter of credit facility agreement allowed us to release $33 million of
restricted cash into general operations (see additional discussion, below). For the nine months
ended September 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities was $104.3 million as opposed to $144.6
million in the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the release of restricted
cash associated with lines of credit.
At the end of 2010, we expected to spend approximately $150 million on our 2011 oil and gas capital
program and that our available cash at that time and our cash flow from operations would be
sufficient to fund our capital expenditure program for the upcoming year. Those expectations
included cash flow assumptions based on an expected mid-year production start for our Bacchus
development, additional production from our U.S. drilling operations and some continued level of
production at our Goldeneye field. We anticipated that our production would increase in the latter
half of the year as Bacchus and U.S. production ramped up.
The delay in production increases during 2011 is due to the three items that we expected to have
the most impact on our 2011 production: Bacchus timing, U.S. drilling program results and the
status of the Goldeneye field. We expect our production to remain consistent with our current
levels until we achieve first production at Bacchus. Due to the following factors, we will not
experience production increases at the levels we originally anticipated.
| The operator at Bacchus experienced delays in moving the drilling rig to the location and drilling began in August 2011. Due to additional equipment difficulties on the rig, the operator has experienced further delays. Production is now anticipated early next year. | ||
| In the U.S., we have had drilling success and continue to tie in new wells, but due to infrastructure issues in Marcellus, we have not increased production at the rate that we had originally expected. We are working with the operators to increase access to major pipelines, expand pipeline infrastructure or other alternatives to market production. In addition, U.S. gas prices have declined and have impacted our decisions on the timing of drilling. | ||
| As discussed earlier, the Goldeneye field ceased production during the first quarter of 2011. |
The cash provided by financing activities includes repayments and borrowings of debt, payments of
preferred dividends, payment of financing costs, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
In March 2011, we closed a public offering of 11.5 million shares of our common stock for net
proceeds of $118.4 million. In April 2011, we used a portion of the net proceeds from this
offering to redeem all $81.25 million of our 6% Senior Notes.

Table of Contents
Endeavour International Corporation
In March 2011, we entered into an Amendment to the Trust Deed with Smedvig QIF PLC related to
our 11.5% Convertible Bonds. The Amendment provided for:
| the amendment of the maturity date of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds from January 24, 2014 to January 24, 2016; | ||
| the amendment of the date upon which the holders of the 11.5% Convertible Bonds may first exercise a put right, and the occurrence of the conversion price reset if such put right is not exercised, from January 24, 2012 to January 24, 2016; and | ||
| a reduction in the interest rate payable from 11.5% to 7.5% on and after March 31, 2014. |
The Amendment of our 11.5% Convertible Bonds and the redemption of all $81.25 million of our
outstanding 6% Senior Notes satisfied the two conditions precedent to extend the maturity date of
the Senior Term Loan to be August 16, 2013.
In February 2011, we amended our Senior Term Loan to increase the security reserved for potential
letters of credit from $25 million to $35 million. In July 2011, we amended our Senior Term Loan
to provide for an increase of $75 million in the borrowings available under the Senior Term Loan.
In connection with the increase, we drew down the full additional amounts available and our
quarterly scheduled amortization payments on the Senior Term Loan increased from $400,000 to
$587,500. The other primary provisions of the amendment include:
| consent and approval by the lenders of the issuance of the 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes and certain conforming amendments with respect to the issuance of those notes, including an increase in the basket available for the issuance of junior debt from $100 million to $135 million; | ||
| an amendment to the negative pledge provision to allow us to provide up to $10 million of cash margin to secure hedging obligations and; | ||
| an extension by one additional quarter to the scheduled step up in the minimum secured debt coverage ratio. |
At January 1, 2011, restricted cash represented amounts held in escrow as collateral for lines of
credit associated with abandonment liabilities related to our U.K. properties. In July 2011, we
entered into a new letter of credit facility agreement (the LC Agreement) pursuant to which we
secured new letters of credit. Our entry into the LC Agreement allowed us to release the $33
million of restricted cash that served as collateral for previous letters of credit into
operations. The new letters of credit secure obligations in connection with our U.K. production
licenses. The LC Agreement provides that we must pay a quarterly fee computed at a rate of 4.5%
per year on the outstanding amount of each letter of credit issued under the LC Agreement. The LC
Agreement contains similar financial covenants and other covenants as the credit agreement
governing our Senior Term Loan. The CBA letters of credit are renewable at our option on October
31, 2012 and through the expiration of the LC Agreement on October 31, 2013.
In July 2011, we issued $135 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Convertible Senior
Notes due 2016. Interest on these notes will be payable semiannually at a rate of 5.5% per annum.
The 5.5% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a price
equivalent to $18.51 per share.

Capital Program
We anticipate spending approximately $155 $165 million during 2011 to fund our oil and gas
activities in the U.S. and U.K., with approximately 60% of those expenditures anticipated to be
focused on our U.K. assets. These capital budget numbers do not include $14 million of costs
incurred in the settlement of the rig contract dispute in June 2011, which is included in U.K.
capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2011, we had spent $113.1 million in capital
expenditures. We also spent an additional $22.9 million on acquisitions, primarily related to our
purchase of an additional 20% working interest in the Bacchus field.
In the U.K., our activity during 2011 is primarily concentrated on the Bacchus and Greater Rochelle
development projects. At the Bacchus project, we are drilling three production wells and
installing the infrastructure to allow first production to begin early next year. At the Greater
Rochelle project, our focus will be completing engineering and procuring long lead-time equipment
to prepare Greater Rochelle for a 2012 first production date. We also intend to begin actual
construction of the subsea infrastructure and the required modifications to the Scott platform have
been commenced to prepare it for production from the Greater Rochelle area in 2012.
Our primary focus during 2011 in the U.S. has been in the Haynesville, and Marcellus play areas.
The ongoing U.S. program and expenditures will be tailored based on drilling results and U.S. gas
prices.
We intend to fund our capital expenditures through cash on hand and cash flow generated from
operations and borrowings under our Senior Term Loan, which was recently amended to increase the
borrowing under the facility by $75 million. The majority of our cash on hand has been generated
through our debt and equity offerings and results of operations. The timing, completion and
progress of our 2011 capital program is subject to a number of factors, including availability of
capital, drilling results, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and
equipment, partner approvals and technical work. Based on these and other factors, we may increase
or decrease our planned capital program or prioritize certain projects over others.
United Kingdom Activity
Activity in the U.K. during 2011 continues to focus on our primary development projects Bacchus
and Greater Rochelle. In October 2010, we completed the sale of our Cygnus asset for cash
consideration of $110 million and utilized the proceeds to accelerate our development projects.
On February 23, 2011, we closed our acquisition of an additional 20% working interest in the
Bacchus development for approximately $9.2 million in cash payable at closing and approximately
$6.2 million in cash payable at the earlier of three months after first oil is
produced or the end of 2011. In addition, we paid capital costs incurred by the seller of $9.4
million. Following the acquisition, we hold an aggregate 30% working interest. The field

development plan (FDP) to drill for the Bacchus field calls for a subsea development
with three wells to be drilled and linked to production facilities at the nearby Forties field. We
are currently drilling our production wells and expect to commence production early next year.
The Greater Rochelle area is comprised of three blocks in the North Sea. In July 2011, the
unitization of the Greater Rochelle area, including our interests in blocks 15/27 and 15/26c, was
completed resulting in a single set of interest across the field for the interest owners. After
the unitization, our working interest in the Greater Rochelle area is now 44%, as compared to a
55.6% working interest in East Rochelle, a 50% working interest in West Rochelle and no working
interest in the third block of the Greater Rochelle area. In addition, we retain operatorship of
the field. In February 2011, the DECC approved the Rochelle FDP for Block 15/27 in East Rochelle.
In April 2011, we announced agreement of the commercial terms for the processing and transportation
of East Rochelle production on the Scott Platform in the Central North Sea. We have awarded
contracts and commenced construction of the production facilities. We have contracted for a
drilling rig which is expected to arrive in the spring of 2012 to commence drilling of the two
planned production wells. First production from Greater Rochelle is planned for the second
half of 2012.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, we also expect to drill an appraisal well in the Tudor Rose
prospect, Block 14/30a, to evaluate an oil discovery that was drilled in 1983. We have a 20%
working interest in the prospect.
United States Drilling
We believe that our U.S. acreage provides us with development projects with shorter timeframes to
first production at lower costs than our North Sea assets. In addition, our U.S. acreage covers a
broad spectrum of established resource plays including the Haynesville, Cotton Valley and
Marcellus, to emerging plays in Montana. Our drilling efforts in Alabama did not produce gas at
commercial levels and we have decided to discontinue further efforts there.
Our strategy for our U.S. operations has been to employ a measured approach that seeks to balance
U.S. natural gas prices with drilling costs. We believe this approach in the U.S. should provide
flexibility to adjust our drilling activity in accordance with current and future commodity prices
and our operating results, while still allowing our U.S. production to grow and provide near-term
return on capital to balance our longer production-cycle U.K. projects.
We currently have positions in three U.S. shale resource plays. In the Haynesville area, we have
had drilling activity in the Woodardville, Jamestown, Bull Bayou, Metcalf and Grand Cane fields in
Louisiana, and the Willow Springs field in East Texas. During 2010, 12 Haynesville area wells were
drilled on our acreage, all of which were successful. We currently have a one rig program
operating in the Haynesville area, and during the third quarter of 2011 we brought six new wells on
production. We are targeting drilling a total of 15 Haynesville area
wells in 2011.
In the Marcellus area, we successfully drilled and cased two horizontal wells in the Daniel Field
in Cameron County during 2011. One of these wells is expected to be completed later this year. In
parallel, we are working on expanding the Daniel Field gathering pipeline infrastructure,
31

including options to connect with one of three major pipelines in Cameron County. We
have obtained rights-of-way, and are currently in the process of obtaining permits and conducting a
habitat study. Upon completion of these items, we expect to begin construction of a gathering line
to tie our production to an existing pipeline.
In Montana, we have drilled four vertical pilot wells to evaluate the Heath shale potential of our
acreage and are currently evaluating the results to define possible horizontal re-entry
target zones for next year.
Pending Acquisition
In July 2011, we entered into purchase and sale agreements, subject to due diligence and other
closing conditions, with SM Energy Company and certain other minority owners to acquire the
leasehold and producing interests held by SM Energy and its partners in the Marcellus shale in
north-central Pennsylvania, as well as a pipeline and related facilities in McKean and Potter
Counties, Pennsylvania, for aggregate consideration of $110 million.
The assets include the following:
| Approximately 50,000 net acres of leasehold with 100 percent operated working interests in McKean and Potter counties; | ||
| Current production from three existing wells of approximately three to four million cubic feet of natural gas per day, including the Potato Creek #3H well that initially flowed 11 million cubic feet of gas per day and is expected to recover in excess of 4 billion cubic feet of gas; | ||
| 100 percent ownership of Potato Creek LLC, which owns a midstream gathering system and related facilities in southern McKean County, including a 10-mile 16 trunkline connected and flowing to Tennessee Gas Pipelines 24 mainline; and | ||
| Proprietary and fully processed 3-D seismic survey covering the entire Potato Creek lease block. |
A new 7-year lease will be issued at closing on the key 21,000 net acre Potato Creek block that
requires only five wells to be drilled in the first three years to hold the acreage. Over the next
three years, minimal capital is required to hold all acreage in McKean County, including the key
Potato Creek leasehold.
Outlook
As we near the end of 2011, we expect to conserve capital and focus on two development
projects in the U.K. Bacchus and Rochelle. Capital expenditures for Bacchus currently have our
highest priority as we plan to reach first production early next year. Once Bacchus begins
producing, we expect to earmark a substantial portion of the cash flows from its production to
complete the necessary development program for the Greater Rochelle area to allow East
Rochelle to reach first production in the second half of 2012. Any remaining capital will be
divided among smaller commitments such as our Tudor Rose exploration well in the U.K., evaluation
of our Montana vertical pilot wells and complete drilling in the Marcellus and
32
Table of Contents
Endeavour International Corporation
Haynesville areas. The extent of our U.S. drilling program will be determined by our
anticipated available cash and any changes in the U.S. natural gas markets and prices.
Our primary sources of financial resources and liquidity are cash on hand, internally generated
cash flows from operations and access to the credit and capital markets, to the extent necessary.
Oil prices continue to be impacted by supply and demand on a worldwide basis. Although oil and gas
prices have remained volatile, the full impact on our cash flows will be partially mitigated by our
balance of gas and oil production and our commodity derivative positions.
At September 30, 2011, we had $471.7 million in outstanding debt. Our outstanding debt instruments
contain certain financial ratio covenants.
We were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt
obligations as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. However, the
delay in the start up of production from Bacchus will have
an adverse impact on our ability to maintain compliance with the minimum EBITDA covenant included
in our Senior Term Loan at year end. If we
are unable to maintain compliance, we are confident in our ability to work with
our lenders to provide for an appropriate amendment or waiver.
We also announced a potential high-yield debt offering in June. When global economic worries
created instability in the high-yield debt market we chose to exercise financial discipline and
avoid issuing debt at that time. However, we remain optimistic that the market will regain its
stability and be available to us should we decide to access it at a later date.
As we pushed our U.K. and U.S. capital programs forward, we reviewed opportunities to add resources
that matched our strategic plan at reasonable rates of return for our shareholders. In July 2011,
we finalized an opportunity to add to our position in the Marcellus area by acquiring property that
had undeveloped acreage, the ability to increase our production and reserves over the next several
years and a relatively new gathering pipeline in the area that connected to a major pipeline. We
secured financing for this pending acquisition by issuing $135 million of 5.5% Convertible Senior
Notes, at a time when the market value of our common stock was near its high for the previous 12
months. However, there is no requirement to use these proceeds for the Marcellus or any other
acquisition. The net proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.
While we expect our 2012 production to be greater than our 2011 production, that increase will not
occur evenly throughout the year. Instead, the anticipated production increase is highly sensitive
to the timing of first production from Bacchus and Rochelle. We expect our production will grow
from current 2011 levels as Bacchus and, eventually, Rochelle achieve first production. Each of
these operational activities will have an impact on our production as follows:
| Initial production date of the Bacchus field We are currently drilling the initial production wells and completing infrastructure. Production is expected to commence early next year. The precise initial production date, rate of production and how long it may take for Bacchus to reach full production from all three wells are key variables to our overall production levels. |
33

Endeavour International Corporation
| Initial production date of the Greater Rochelle field We are working to complete engineering and procure long-lead time equipment. We have contracted for a drilling rig which is expected to arrive in the spring of 2012 to commence drilling of the two planned production wells. The operator of the Scott platform, Rochelles off-take solution, has commenced the required modifications to prepare it for production from the Greater Rochelle area in 2012. First production from Greater Rochelle is planned for the fourth quarter of 2012. |

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell crude oil and natural gas. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the
prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and regional gas spot market prices that have been
volatile and unpredictable for several years. As a result, our financial results can be
significantly impacted as these commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market
forces. We may engage in oil and gas hedging activities to realize commodity prices which we
consider favorable. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, see Note 9 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At September 30, 2011, we had the following commodity derivative instruments outstanding:

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have
evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief
executive officer (the CEO) and chief financial officer (the CFO), of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered
by this Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded:
(i) that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we
are required to disclose in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (b) is
36

accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
(ii) that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f), and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange act of 1934, as amended), during the
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1A: Risk Factors
In addition to the factors discussed below and elsewhere in this report, including the
financial statements and related notes, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties
described below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under
Item 1A Risk Factors, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial also could impair our business operations and financial condition. If
any of these risks or uncertainties were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of
operation could be adversely affected.
Recently Proposed Rules Regulating Air Emissions from Oil and Gas Operations Could Cause Us to
Incur Increased Capital Expenditures and Operating Costs
On July 28, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed rules that would establish
new air emission controls for oil and natural gas production and natural gas processing operations.
Specifically, the EPAs proposed rule package includes New Source Performance Standards to address
emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and a separate set of emission
standards to address hazardous air pollutants frequently associated with oil and natural gas
production and processing activities. The EPAs proposal would require the reduction of VOC
emissions from oil and natural gas production facilities by mandating the use of green
completions for hydraulic fracturing, which requires the operator to recover rather than vent the
gas and natural gas liquids that come to the surface during completion of the fracturing process.
The proposed rules also would establish specific requirements regarding emissions from compressors,
dehydrators, storage tanks, and other production equipment. In addition, the rules would establish
new leak detection requirements for natural gas processing plants. The EPA will receive public
comment and hold hearings regarding the proposed rules and must take final action on them by February 28, 2012. If finalized, these rules could require a
number of modifications to our operations, including the installation of new equipment.

Compliance with such rules could result in significant costs, including increased capital expenditures and
operating costs, and could adversely impact our business.
