Going Concern
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve month period following the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and their carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The level of our indebtedness of $1,428 million as of June 30, 2016 and the current commodity price environment have presented challenges as they relate to our ability to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness, particularly the maximum Consolidated Funded Debt to consolidated EBITDA (“Consolidated Funded Leverage”) financial covenant set forth in our bank credit agreement. If we exceed the maximum Consolidated Funded Leverage financial covenant, we would be required to seek a waiver or amendment from our bank lenders. If we are unable to reach an agreement with our banks or find acceptable alternative financing, it may lead to an event of default under our bank credit facility. If following an event of default, the banks were to accelerate repayment under the bank credit facility, it would result in an event of default and may result in the acceleration of our other debt instruments.

On June 14, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the bank credit facility (see Note 5 – Debt) which, among other things, requires that we maintain minimum liquidity of $125.0 million through January 15, 2017 and revised the maximum Consolidated Funded Leverage financial covenant from 3.75 to 1 to 5.25 to 1 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, 6.50 to 1 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2016, 9.50 to 1 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2016 and 3.75 to 1 thereafter. We were in compliance with all covenants under the bank credit facility as of June 30, 2016, however, the minimum liquidity requirement and other restrictions under the credit facility may prevent us from being able to meet our interest payment obligation on the 7½% Senior Notes due in 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) in the fourth quarter of 2016 as well as the subsequent maturity of our 1¾% Senior Convertible Notes due in March 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Notes”). Additionally, we anticipate that we could exceed the Consolidated Funded Leverage financial covenant of 3.75 to 1 at the end of the first quarter of 2017 unless a material portion of our debt is repaid, reduced or exchanged into equity. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 

We are in the process of analyzing various strategic alternatives to address our liquidity and capital structure, including strategic and refinancing alternatives through a private restructuring, asset sales and a prepackaged or prearranged bankruptcy filing. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to complete a private restructuring or asset sales on satisfactory terms to provide the liquidity to restructure or pay down our senior indebtedness.
