NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, derivative instruments and debt. Except for derivative instruments and debt, the carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term, highly liquid nature of these instruments.

The Company has elected not to designate its derivative instruments contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, commodity derivatives are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with settlements of such contracts, and changes in the unrealized fair value, recorded as Derivative loss (gain), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in each period presented.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

​

​

The Company measures the fair value of its derivative instruments by applying the income approach, using models with inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The income approach converts expected future cash flows to a present value amount based on market expectations. The inputs used for the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are the exercise price, the expiration date, the settlement date, notional quantities, the implied volatility, the discount curve with spreads and published commodity future prices.

Although the Company has master netting arrangements with its counterparties, the amounts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are on a gross basis.

The fair value of the 11.75% Notes was measured using quoted prices, although the market is not a highly liquid market. The fair value of debt was classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
