INFINITY ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Effective September 9, 2005, Infinity, Inc. merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the purpose of changing its domicile
from Colorado to Delaware. As a result of the merger, the legal domicile of Infinity, Inc. was
changed to Delaware and its name was changed to Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. At the effective
time of the merger, shares of Infinity, Inc. were converted into an equal number of shares of
common stock of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Infinity or the
Company) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of natural gas
and crude oil in the United States and the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties in
Nicaragua. In addition, the Company provides oilfield services in the Mid-Continent region and in
northeast Wyoming.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Infinity Energy
Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc.
(Consolidated), Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc., Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc.,
Infinity Oil & Gas of Kansas, Inc. and CIS Oklahoma, Inc. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to
the prior period presentation to conform to the classifications used in the current period. These
reclassifications did not have an impact on previously reported results of operations. The
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
Infinitys audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant estimates with regard to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements include the estimated carrying value of unproved properties, the estimate of proved oil
and gas reserve volumes and the related present value of estimated future net cash flows and the
ceiling test applied to capitalized oil and gas properties, the estimated cost and timing related
to asset retirement obligations, the estimated fair value of derivative liabilities and the
realizability of deferred tax assets.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration, and development of
properties (including costs of surrendered and abandoned leaseholds, delay lease rentals and dry
holes) and the fair value of estimated future costs of site restoration, dismantlement, and
abandonment activities are capitalized. Overhead related to exploration and development activities
is also capitalized. The Company capitalized $252,000 and $220,000 of internal costs during
the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Costs associated with production
and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, the Company performs a ceiling test each quarter. The
ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income
taxes may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves using current prices, including the effects of derivative
instruments
7
Table of Contents
designated as cash flow hedges but excluding the future cash outflows associated with
settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, using a discount
factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of
cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, if any; less (4) related income tax effects
related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and gas properties. If capitalized costs
exceed the ceiling, the excess must be charged to expense and may not be reversed in future
periods.
At March 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Companys oil and gas properties exceeded the
full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $9,100,000, based upon a natural gas price of
approximately $6.62 per Mcf and an oil price of approximately $66.11 per barrel in effect at that
date. A decline in prices received for oil and gas sales or an increase in operating costs
subsequent to the measurement date or reductions in estimated economically recoverable quantities
could result in the recognition of an additional ceiling write-down of oil and gas properties in a
future period.
Aggregate capitalized costs relating to the Companys oil and gas producing activities, and
related accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and ceiling write-downs are as follows:
As of | ||||||||
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2006 | 2005 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Proved oil and gas properties |
$ | 86,076 | $ | 75,484 | ||||
Unproved oil and gas properties |

Total |
110,355 | 98,333 | ||||||

amortization and ceiling write-downs |
(42,115 | ) | (31,785 | ) | ||||
Net capitalized costs |
$ | 68,240 | $ | 66,548 | ||||
Depletion of proved oil and gas properties is computed on the units-of-production method,
whereby capitalized costs, as adjusted for future development costs and asset retirement
obligations, are amortized over total estimated proved reserves. The costs of wells in progress
and unevaluated properties, including any related capitalized interest, are not amortized.
Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending determination of the existence of
proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed periodically to determine whether impairment has
occurred. Unproved properties whose costs are individually significant are assessed individually by
considering the primary lease terms of the properties, the holding periods of the properties, and
geographic and geologic data obtained relating to the properties. Where it is not practicable to
assess individually the amount of impairment of properties for which costs are not individually
significant, such properties are grouped for purposes of assessing impairment. The amount of
impairment assessed is added to the costs to be amortized.
Proceeds from the sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to
capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly
alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case
the gain or loss is recognized in income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
production expense in the period incurred.
Derivative Instruments
The Company accounts for derivative instruments or hedging activities under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to record derivative instruments at
their fair value. If the derivative is
designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the
hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is
designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the
derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the statement of
operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair
value of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment are recognized in earnings.
The Company periodically hedges a portion of its oil and gas production through swap and
collar agreements. The purpose of the hedges is to provide a measure of stability to the Companys
cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices and to manage the exposure to commodity
price risk.
The Companys senior secured notes (see Note 4) include certain terms, conditions and features
that are separately accounted for as embedded derivatives at estimated fair value. In addition,
the related warrants issued with the senior secured notes and non-employee options and warrants are
also separately accounted for as freestanding derivatives at estimated fair value. The
determination
8
Table of Contents
of fair
value includes significant estimates by management including the
remaining contractual term of the
instruments, volatility of the price of the Companys common stock, interest rates and the
probability of conversion, redemption or exercise, among other items. The fluctuations in
estimated fair value may be significant from period to period, which, in turn, may have a
significant impact on the Companys reported financial condition and results of operations. See
Note 5.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method
requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and tax bases of assets
and liabilities. The tax benefits of tax loss carryforwards and other deferred taxes are recorded
as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such assets to be more likely
than not. When the future utilization of some portion of the deferred tax asset is determined not
to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded deferred tax
asset. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had recorded a full valuation
allowance for its net deferred tax asset.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss) and all changes to stockholders
equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in additional paid-in capital and
distributions to stockholders. There were no components of comprehensive income (loss) during the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
Note 3 Stock Options
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which
requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based
payments based on the estimated fair
value of the awards. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of
increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements
that are not included in costs applicable to sales (excess tax benefits) to be presented as
financing cash inflows in the Statement of Cash Flows. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company
accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In accordance with APB No. 25, no compensation
cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an
exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under
this method, compensation cost recognized subsequent to December 31, 2005 will be based on the
grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005,
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). All share-based awards outstanding
as of the January 1, 2006 adoption date were fully vested. There were no stock-based awards granted
during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The results for prior periods have not been restated.
Options
Under Equity Incentive Plans
In 2005, the Companys stockholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 Plan),
under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers,
non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Companys common
stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan allow for
the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the
date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Companys Board of Directors
and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive
plans with terms similar to the 2005 Plan. As of March 31, 2006, 140,881 shares were available for
future grants under the plans, including 140,000 available under the 2005 Plan.
The value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective
assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, and stock price volatility. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management
judgment.
The following table summarizes stock option activity as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 2006:

There were no stock-based awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006. The
weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31,
2005 was $6.64 per share. Because all options granted under the Companys stock option plans have
been equal to or greater than the market value on the date of grant, no compensation cost was
recognized in the statements of operations in any period. The total intrinsic value of options
exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $16,000 and
$222,000, respectively. All options outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005 were fully vested and exercisable.

Senior Secured Notes Facility
The Company has a senior secured notes facility (the Senior Secured Notes Facility) with a
group of lenders led by Promethean Asset Management, LLC (collectively, the Buyers). Pursuant to
the terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, on January 13, 2005, September 7, 2005 and December
9, 2005, the Company sold, and the Buyers purchased, $30.0 million, $9.5 million and $5.5 million,
respectively, principal amount of senior secured notes (the Series A Notes, Series B Notes and
Series C Notes, respectively), and five-year warrants to purchase 924,194 shares, 732,046 shares,
283,051 shares, 224,202 shares, 191,882 shares and 151,988 shares of the Companys common stock at
exercise prices of $9.09 per share, $11.06 per share, $9.40 per share, $11.44 per share, $8.03 per
share and $9.77 per share, respectively (the Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants and Series C
Warrants, respectively). The Series A Notes have an initial maturity of 48 months subject to
extension for an additional twelve months upon the mutual agreement of Infinity and the Buyers. The
Series B and Series C Notes have initial maturities of 42 months (54 months if the maturity of the
Series A Notes is extended).
Pursuant to a waiver of certain terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, on March 17, 2006,
the Company sold, and the Buyers purchased, $8.0 million of additional principal amount of senior
secured notes (the Series D Notes and collectively with the Series A, Series B and Series C
Notes, the Notes), and five-year warrants to purchase 258,960 shares of the Companys common
stock at an exercise price of $8.65 per share and 205,128 shares of the Companys common stock at
an exercise price of $10.53 per share (collectively, the Series D Warrants and together with the
Series A, Series B and Series C Warrants, the Warrants). The Series D Notes have an initial
maturity of 18 months, which will be extended to 42 months (54 months if the maturity of the Series
A Notes is extended) if the principal amount of any series of Notes is, in one or a series of
transactions, reduced (either through repayment or conversion) by at least $5 million during the
period beginning on March 18, 2006 and ending on September 17, 2006.
The Notes bear interest at the 3-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) plus 675 basis
points, adjusted the first business day of each calendar quarter (11.36% at March 31, 2006). The
Notes are secured by essentially all of the assets of Infinity and its subsidiaries and are
guaranteed by each of Infinitys active subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances at quarterly
intervals and over a three year period, Infinity has the option to sell additional Notes, along
with additional Warrants, in amounts up to $15 million in any rolling twelve-month period, up to an
additional $25 million. Any additional Notes would have an initial maturity of 42 months (54 months
if the maturity of the Series A Notes is extended). The issuance of additional Notes is subject to
Infinitys satisfaction of various closing conditions. The ability to issue additional Notes or the
requirement to prepay Notes prior to maturity will depend upon a maximum Notes balance calculated
quarterly based generally upon a combination of financial performance of Consolidated and the SEC
after-tax PV-10% value of the Companys proved reserves. The maximum Notes balance at March 31,
2006 exceeded the Notes outstanding on that date. The Notes include terms and covenants that place
limitations on certain types of activities, including restrictions or requirements with respect to
additional debt, liens, asset sales, hedging activities, investments, dividends, mergers, and
acquisitions.
The Notes are redeemable by Infinity for cash at any time during the first year at 105% of par
value, declining by 1% per year thereafter (101% during any extended maturity period), together
with any accrued and unpaid interest. Under certain circumstances, Infinity has the option to repay
the Notes with direct issuances of shares of registered common stock in lieu of cash at a
conversion rate equal to 95% of the weighted average trading price of shares of the Companys
common stock on the trading day preceding the conversion (the Conversion Option). In addition,
the Company may elect to settle accrued interest due under the Notes with direct issuances of
shares of registered common stock in lieu of cash at a conversion rate equal to 95% of the weighted
average trading price of shares of the Companys common stock on the trading day preceding the
conversion. In accordance with terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, in January 2006, the
Company elected to settle approximately $861,000 of interest accrued at December 31, 2005 (due
January 3, 2006) through the issuance of 126,083 shares of common stock (see Note 8). In addition,
also in accordance with terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, in the first quarter of 2006,
the Company converted $3 million principal amount of Series B Notes, along with accrued interest of
$37,000, into 382,062 shares of common stock. In connection with the conversion, the Company
reclassified unamortized discount (see discussion below under Debt Discount) of $549,000 related to
the converted Notes to additional paid-in-capital, reclassified Conversion Option derivative
liability of $80,000 (see Note 5) to additional paid-in-capital and wrote off deferred financing
costs of $122,000.
Debt Discount
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock, the Conversion Option
and the Warrants issued in connection with the Notes qualify as derivatives. As a result, upon the
issuance of each series of Notes, the Company bifurcated the Conversion Option from the Notes and
accounted for it and the related Warrants as derivatives (see Note 5). The initial fair values of
the Conversion Option and Warrants, which aggregated $461,000 and $10,108,000, respectively, for
all four series of Notes issued to date, were recorded as debt discount. The debt discount is being
amortized over the initial maturities of the Notes utilizing the effective interest method.
11
Table of Contents
The Company capitalizes amortization of debt discount to oil and gas properties on
expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to
current depletion. Amortization of debt discount is capitalized only for the period that
activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. Total debt discount
amortized during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $588,000 and $273,000,
respectively, of which $255,000 and $175,000, respectively, was capitalized to oil and gas
properties.
Capitalized Interest
The Company capitalizes interest costs to oil and gas properties on expenditures made in
connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current depletion.
Interest is capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring these projects
to their intended use. Interest costs (including amortization of deferred financing costs)
capitalized in the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $552,000 and $380,000,
respectively.
Promissory Note to Seller
In connection with the 2003 acquisition of a 50% interest in an aircraft, the Company entered
into a promissory note in favor of the seller. The note and accrued interest were settled in full
in February 2006 in connection with the sale of the aircraft.
Note 5 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for derivative instruments or hedging activities under the provisions of
SFAS No. 133, which requires the Company to record derivative instruments at their fair value. If
the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative
and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the
derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value
of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the
statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in
the fair value of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in
earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not
qualify for hedge treatment are recognized in earnings.
Commodity Derivatives
The Company periodically hedges a portion of its oil and gas production through fixed-price
physical contracts and commodity derivative contracts. The purpose of the hedges is to provide a
measure of stability to the Companys cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices
and to manage the exposure to commodity price risk. As of March 31, 2006 the Company had the
following oil collar derivative arrangements outstanding:
Term of Arrangements | Bbls per Day | Floor Price | Ceiling Price | |||||||||
January 1, 2006 June 30, 2006
|
50 | $ | 50.00 | $ | 64.40 | |||||||

January 1, 2007 June 30, 2007
|
50 | $ | 57.50 | $ | 77.50 |
All of the collar arrangements above have been designated as cash flow hedges. As of March
31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had derivative liabilities of approximately $85,000 and
$28,000, respectively, which are included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized
ineffectiveness of approximately $57,000 under its collar arrangements, which is reflected in Other
expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company had no collars in place during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The Company
paid approximately $1,800 under its collar arrangements during the three months ended March 31,
2006.
Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company entered into the following natural gas collar:
Term of Arrangement | MMBtu per Day | Floor Price | Ceiling Price | |||||||||
May 1, 2006 July 31, 2006
|
1,000 | $ | 4.50 | $ | 8.00 |
Other Derivatives
As more fully discussed in Note 4 above, in January 2005, the Company issued Notes and
Warrants. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 133 and EITF 00-19 the Company bifurcated the
Conversion Option associated with the Notes and accounted for it and the Warrants as derivatives.
The initial fair values of the Conversion Option and the Warrants, which totaled $461,000 and
$10,108,000, respectively, were recorded as debt discount. Subsequent changes in the fair value of
those derivatives have been recorded as Change in derivative fair value in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2006
12
Table of Contents
and 2005, the
Company recognized charges of $2,414,000 and $3,921,000, respectively, related to the change in
fair value of the Conversion Option and Warrants. The charge recognized in the three months ended
March 31, 2006, includes $56,500 related to the Conversion Option on the Notes converted during the
period.
In addition, as a result of the issuance of the Notes in January 2005, under the provisions of
EITF 00-19, the Company was no longer able to conclude that it has sufficient authorized and
unissued shares available to settle its previously issued non-employee options and warrants (the
Non-employee Options and Warrants) after considering the commitment to potentially issue common
stock under terms of the Notes if ever there is an event of default. As such, effective with the
issuance of the Notes on January 13, 2005, the Company reclassified the fair value of the
Non-employee Options and Warrants out of stockholders equity on the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet and recognized them as a derivative liability of $6,090,000. Changes in the fair
value of the Non-employee Options and Warrants are recorded as Change in derivative fair value in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations so long as they continue to not qualify for
equity classification. Non-employee Options and Warrants that are ultimately settled in common
stock will be remeasured prior to settlement and then reclassified back to stockholders equity;
however, any gains or losses previously recognized on those instruments will remain in earnings.
During February and March 2005, in connection with the exercise of 538,850 Non-employee Options and
Warrants, the Company reclassified $2,174,000 back to stockholders equity. During the three
months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recognized charges of $1,046,000 and $3,992,000,
respectively, related to the change in the fair value of Non-employee Options and Warrants
outstanding during those periods.
Note 6 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Companys cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities represents the fair value of the accounts. Long-term debt at March 31, 2006, with a
carrying value of approximately $42.2 million is estimated to have a fair value between $44 million
and $45 million. See Note 4 for the terms of the long-term debt obligations.
The fair value of the Companys non-current derivative liabilities, all of which relate to the
Conversion Option, Warrants and Non-employee Options and Warrants, is estimated using various
models and assumptions related to the estimated term of the instruments, volatility of the price of
the Companys common stock, interest rates and the probability of conversion, redemption or
exercise, among other items.
Note 7 Earnings Per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common
share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares and
potential common shares, using the treasury stock method, outstanding during the period.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Companys common stock equivalents are
anti-dilutive; therefore the impact of 5,960,747 and 5,256,000, respectively, of common stock
equivalents were not included because their effect was anti-dilutive. The number of common stock
equivalents excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation does not include any shares that
may be issued in the future should the Company elect to repay Notes outstanding under the Senior
Secured Notes Facility with direct issuances of shares of registered common stock in lieu of cash
at a conversion rate equal to 95% of the weighted average trading price of shares of the Companys
common stock on the trading day preceding conversion.
Note 8 Subsequent Event
In accordance with terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, in April 2006, the Company
elected to settle approximately $1,170,000 of interest accrued at March 31, 2006 (due April 3,
2006) through the issuance of 177,212 shares of common stock. Since the interest was settled with
other than current assets, the accrued interest at March 31, 2006 has been classified as long-term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Effective September 9, 2005, Infinity, Inc. merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary
Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the purpose of changing its domicile
from Colorado to Delaware. As a result of the merger, the legal domicile of Infinity, Inc. was
changed to Delaware and its name was changed to Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. At the effective
time of the merger, shares of Infinity, Inc. were converted into an equal number of shares of
common stock of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. The reincorporation did not result in any change in
headquarters, business, jobs, location of any facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities,
or net worth. Management, including all directors and officers, remain the same as prior to the
reincorporation.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Infinity
follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. See Nature of Operations
and Basis of Presentation, included in Note 1 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Infinity and its operating subsidiaries (Infinity Oil and Gas of
Texas, Inc. (Infinity-Texas), Infinity Oil & Gas of
Wyoming, Inc. (Infinity-Wyoming), and Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. (Consolidated)) are engaged in
identifying and acquiring oil and gas acreage, exploring and developing acquired acreage, oil and
gas production, and providing oilfield services. Infinitys primary focuses are on: (i) the
acquisition, exploration and development of and production from its properties in the Fort Worth
Basin of north central Texas and the Greater Green River, Sand Wash and Piceance Basins of
southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado; and (ii) providing oilfield services in the Mid-Continent
region and the Powder River Basin of northeast Wyoming. Infinity has also been awarded a 1.4
million acre concession offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea which it intends to explore over
the next few years subject to the long-term development and production contract
governing such activity.

Table of Contents
Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to the following (and the risks
described under Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K):
| fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and production; | ||
| availability of drilling rigs, completion services and other support equipment; | ||
| incorrect estimations of required capital expenditures; | ||
| uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil and gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing thereof; | ||
| delays or difficulties in exploration, exploitation and development activities; | ||
| increases in the cost of oil and gas drilling, completion and production and in materials, fuel and labor costs; | ||
| the availability, conditions and timing of required government approvals and third party financing, including failure to satisfy the maximum notes balance requirements under the senior secured notes facility; | ||
| a decline in demand for Infinitys oil and gas production or oilfield services; | ||
| delays in environmental and permitting factors; and | ||
| changes in general economic conditions. |
Overview of Exploration and Production Activity
Infinity, through Infinity-Texas, continued to expand its exploration and production
operations in the Fort Worth Basin of Texas. During the three months ended March 31, 2006,
Infinity-Texas:
| Drilled five horizontal wells and one vertical well targeting the Barnett Shale formation; | ||
| Increased production from the Fort Worth Basin in north central Texas by approximately 80% as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005; | ||
| Made capital additions of approximately $11 million, including costs for leasehold additions, seismic acquisition and interpretation, and the drilling, completing and equipping of wells; |
Infinity plans to continue to explore, exploit and develop its Fort Worth Basin acreage and
its Rocky Mountain projects and prospects. Infinity expects its Rocky Mountain projects to proceed
more slowly, due in part to governmental and environmental restrictions and regulations. Infinity
raised incremental debt and equity capital to fund its exploration and production operations from
the net proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes Facility and from the proceeds of option and warrant
exercises during the first three months of 2006. In addition to expected increases in cash flows
from operating activities, Infinity will require external financing during 2006 and beyond to fund
its exploration and production operations, although the type, timing, cost and amounts of such
financing, if any, will depend upon general energy and capital markets conditions and the success
of Infinitys operations.
The following table provides statistical information for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005:

Under full cost accounting rules, Infinity reviews, on a quarterly basis, the carrying value
of its oil and gas properties. Under these rules, capitalized costs of proved oil and gas
properties may not exceed the present value of estimated future revenue at the prices in effect as
of the end of each fiscal quarter, and a write-down for accounting purposes is required if the
ceiling is exceeded. At March 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Companys oil and gas properties
exceeded the full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $9,100,000 based upon a natural gas
price of approximately $6.62 per Mcf and an oil price of approximately $66.11 per barrel in effect
at that date. Had subsequent commodity prices, which peaked on April 21, 2006, been utilized in
the Companys ceiling test, no write down would have been
required. A decline in prices received
for oil and gas sales or an increase in operating costs subsequent to the measurement date or
reductions in estimated economically recoverable quantities could result in the recognition of an
additional ceiling write-down of oil and gas properties in a future period.
Overview of Oilfield Service Operations
Consolidated continued to develop its business as the largest oilfield service provider in
eastern Kansas and northeast Oklahoma. The continued strong price of natural gas and crude oil and
the focus on development of the coal bed methane potential of the
Cherokee basin in eastern Kansas
and northeast Oklahoma and the Powder River Basin in northeastern Wyoming contributed to an overall
increase in activity for Consolidated. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Consolidated
achieved several operational milestones:
| record quarterly revenue of $8.5 million; | ||
| subsidiary level gross profit of approximately $4.6 million; | ||
| provided services to more than 270 customers; and | ||
| subsidiary level income before taxes of approximately $3.4 million. |
Consolidated has expanded its pressure pumping fleet through the fabrication and construction
of additional equipment. Consolidated is also seeking opportunities, through acquisitions or
mergers, to expand its service area or enhance the services it provides to its customers.

2006 Operational and Financial Objectives
Exploration and Production
Infinity-Texas plans to focus on increasing its production and acreage position in the Fort
Worth Basin of northcentral Texas. Infinity-Texas anticipates its remaining 2006 capital expenditures
will be approximately $29 million to drill between 16 and 18 wells, complete one well in progress
at March 31, 2006, conduct additional geological and geophysical analysis on its acreage and
acquire additional acreage. Since March 31, 2006 and through May 8, 2006, Infinity-Texas has
vertically drilled three wells in Comanche County, and horizontally drilled two wells in Erath
County. Through such date two horizontal wells have been completed as producers and one horizontal
well and the three vertical wells are waiting completion operations. Infinity-Texas may increase
its capital expenditures and drilling activity through the contracting of an additional drilling
rig.
The Companys ability to complete these activities is dependent on a number of factors
including, but not limited to:
| The availability of the capital resources required to fund the activity; | ||
| The availability of third party contractors for drilling rigs and completion services (although the Company has one rig under contract and operating in Erath County, Texas); and | ||
| The approval by regulatory agencies of applications for permits to drill in a timely manner. |
Infinity-Wyoming plans to focus on increasing production through development of acreage.
Infinity-Wyoming anticipates remaining 2006 capital expenditures will be less than $1 million to
complete one well in progress at December 31, 2005, conduct additional geological and geophysical
analysis, and increase its acreage position in the Sand Wash Basin of northwestern Colorado.
Oilfield Services
Consolidated plans to increase its oilfield service revenue during 2006 as a result of the
expansion of its fleet during 2005 and 2006 and due to the expected increase in the number of wells
to be drilled and completed by property owners in its service areas. Strategic acquisitions, if
any, made in the future would be made in order to:
| expand the services that are provided; | ||
| expand the area that is serviced; and | ||
| gain market share by providing complementary services to Consolidateds existing services. |
Management believes that if it is able to identify strategic acquisitions during 2006, it
would expect to fund any such acquisitions, which could individually cost up to $20 million,
through external financings, which may include the issuance of subordinated debt or equity
securities. Excluding acquisitions and related capital expenditures, Consolidated expects capital
expenditures to approximate $3 million for the remainder of 2006 related to equipment and
facilities. Management expects these capital expenditures to be financed through Consolidateds
cash flow from operations and cash on hand.

Table of Contents
Corporate Activities
Infinity has completed negotiations of the final development and production agreement with the
Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia for the Perlas and Tyra blocks
offshore Nicaragua and will be required to
post a performance bond of less than $1 million for the initial work on the leases which will
include an environmental study and the development of geological information from reprocessing and
additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data to be acquired.
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2005
Net Loss
Infinity reported net loss after taxes of $11.3 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in the
three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to net loss after taxes of $9.5 million, or $0.81 per
diluted share, in the prior year period. The change between periods was the result of the items
discussed below.
Revenue
Infinity achieved total revenue of $10.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006
compared to $5.5 million in the prior year period. The $5.3 million, or 96%, increase in revenue
consisted of a $4.4 million increase in oilfield service revenue and a $0.9 million increase in oil
and gas revenue. The increase in oilfield service revenue was attributable to a 59% increase in the
number of jobs completed in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period and a 31% increase in the
average revenue per job in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. The increase in oil and gas
revenue was the result of improved price realizations for both oil and gas combined with higher oil
sales volumes, partially offset by lower gas sales volumes. The increase in oil sales volumes was
due primarily to successful developmental drilling in the Sand Wash
Basin in northwest Colorado.
Declines in gas sales volumes from the Companys Pipeline field were partially offset by new
production from exploratory drilling results in the Fort Worth Basin. The 60% decline in gas
production from the Companys Pipeline field in southern Wyoming was largely attributable to
production shut-ins that resulted from third-party gathering and compression equipment freeze-ups
during January 2006 compounded by the lack of availability of third-party workover rigs and pulling
units needed to fully restore production.
Cost of Revenue
Infinitys cost of revenue increased to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2006, from $2.6 million in the prior year period. Oilfield service costs increased to $3.9 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $2.0 million in the prior year period. The
increase was principally attributable to increased materials, maintenance, fuel and labor costs
resulting largely from the increase in the number of jobs performed in the 2006 period compared to
the 2005 period. Oil and gas production expenses increased to $1.1 million, or $3.58 per Mcfe,
during the three months ended March 31, 2006, from $0.4 million, or $1.65 per Mcfe, in the prior
year period. The increase in production expenses was attributable to costs incurred at the
Companys Sand Wash Basin property, which began producing in March 2005, and Fort Worth Basin
properties, which began producing in the second quarter of 2005, as well as higher workover costs
at the Companys Pipeline field resulting from the extended production shut-in which occurred
during the quarter. Oil and gas production taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005
remained relatively constant at $0.2 million.
Gross Profit
Infinity earned a gross profit of $5.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006, a
$2.7 million or 93% increase from $2.9 million gross profit in the prior year period. Gross profit
from oilfield services was $4.6 million, or 54% of revenue, during the three months ended March 31,
2006, compared to $2.1 million, or 51% of revenue, in the prior year period. The increase in gross
profit as a percentage of oilfield service revenue was due principally to an increase in higher
margin frac jobs and lower than average down days as a result of better than average weather during
the 2006 quarter. Gross profit from oil and gas operations for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005 increased to $1.0 million from $0.8 million primarily as a result of increased
revenue as discussed above.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended March
31, 2006, from $1.3 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely due to an increase
in personnel and personnel related costs, costs associated with the Companys Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance efforts, and increased cost of being incorporated in Delaware.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (DD&A) expense recognized during the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, was $1.6 million. Increased DD&A in the 2006 period
resulting from an increase in Consolidateds fleet and an increase in the Companys oil and gas
properties subject to depletion as of March 31, 2006 was offset by decreased depletion
resulting from an increase in proved oil and gas reserve volumes associated with the Companys exploration and
development program.
Ceiling Write-Down
At March 31, 2006, the carrying value of the Companys oil and gas properties exceeded the
full cost ceiling limitation by approximately $9,100,000, based upon a natural gas price of
approximately $6.62 per Mcf and an oil price of approximately $66.11 per barrel in effect at that
date. A decline in prices received for oil and gas sales or an increase in operating costs
subsequent to the measurement date or reductions in estimated economically recoverable quantities
could result in the recognition of an additional ceiling write-down of oil and gas properties in a
future period.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income and expense was a net expense of $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31,
2006 compared to a net expense of $9.5 million in the prior year period. The change of $5.0 million
was principally due to (i) a $4.5 million decrease in the charge recognized in the 2006 period
compared to the 2005 period for the change in derivative fair value, (ii) an $0.8 million decrease
in early extinguishment of debt expense, and (iii) a $0.3 million gain on the sale of an aircraft
in February 2006, offset partially by a $0.3 million increase in interest expense due to an
increase in average debt outstanding and higher average interest rates during the 2006 period and a
$0.2 million increase in amortization costs resulting from increased loan costs incurred in
connection with the Companys senior secured notes facility.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Infinitys primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and debt and equity
financing. Infinitys primary needs for cash are for the operation, development, production,
exploration and acquisition of oil and gas properties, for fulfillment of working capital
obligations, and for the operation and development of the oilfield service business. As of March
31, 2006, the Company had working capital of $0.1 million, compared to working capital of $1.6
million at December 31, 2005.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided by operating activities was $3.6
million, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by
operating activities of $1.7 million was primarily due to improved gross profit, partially offset
by increased interest expense and general and administrative expenses.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Infinity used $13.0 million in investing
activities, compared to $15.0 million used in the prior year period. The decrease in cash used in
investing activities of $2.0 million was primarily attributable to a $2.9 million decrease in
exploration and production capital expenditures partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in
oilfield services capital expenditures.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash provided by financing activities was $7.5
million, compared to $22.5 million provided by financing activities during the prior year period.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $15.0 million was principally due to a
$20.2 million decrease in net cash proceeds provided by the sale of Senior Secured Notes and a $4.0
million decrease in net proceeds from issuance of common stock, partially offset by a $9.2 million
decrease in repayment of long-term debt.
Senior Secured Notes Facility
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had issued an aggregate of $50.0 million principal amount of
senior secured notes (the Notes) under its senior secured notes facility (the Senior Secured
Notes Facility). The Notes were issued in four separate transactions in January, September and
December 2005 and March 2006. The Notes bear interest at 3-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offered
Rate) plus 675 basis points, adjusted the first business day of each calendar quarter (11.36% at
March 31, 2006), and are secured by essentially all of the assets of Infinity and its subsidiaries
and are guaranteed by each of Infinitys active subsidiaries.
The Notes issued in January 2005 have an
initial maturity of 48 months subject to extension for an additional twelve months upon the mutual
agreement of the Company and holders of the Notes. The Notes issued in September and December 2005 have initial maturities of 42 months (54
months if the maturity of the January 2005 Notes is extended). The Notes issued in March 2006 have an initial
maturity of 18 months, which will be extended to 42 months (54 months if the maturity of the
January 2005 Notes is extended) if the principal amount of any series of Notes is, in one or a
series of transactions, reduced (either through repayment or conversion) by at least $5 million
during the period beginning on March 18, 2006 and ending on September 17, 2006.
The Notes are redeemable by Infinity for cash at any time during the first year at 105% of par
value, declining by 1% per year thereafter (101% during any extended maturity period), together
with any accrued and unpaid interest. Under certain circumstances, Infinity has the option to repay
the Notes with direct issuances of shares of registered common stock in lieu of cash at a
conversion rate equal to 95% of the weighted average trading price of shares of the Companys
common stock on the trading day preceding the conversion (the Conversion Option). In addition,
the Company may elect to settle accrued interest due under the Notes with direct issuances of
shares of registered common stock in lieu of cash at a conversion rate equal to 95% of the weighted
average trading price of shares of the Companys common stock on the trading day preceding the
conversion. In accordance with terms of the Senior Secured Notes Facility, in January and April
2006, the Company elected to settle approximately $861,000 and $1,170,000, respectively, of
interest accrued at December 31, 2005 (due January 3, 2006) and March 31, 2006 (due April 3, 2006),
respectively,
19
Table of Contents
through the issuance of 126,083 shares and 177,212 shares of common stock,
respectively. In addition, in the first quarter of 2006, the Company converted $3 million
principal amount of Notes, along with accrued interest of $37,000, into 382,062 shares of common
stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2006 and through May 8, 2006, the Company had converted an
additional $765,000 principal amount of Notes along with accrued interest of $7,400, into 110,908
shares of common stock.
Under certain circumstances at quarterly intervals and over a three year period, Infinity has
the option to sell additional Notes, along with additional Warrants, in amounts up to $15 million
in any rolling twelve-month period, up to an additional $25 million. Any additional Notes would
have an initial maturity of 42 months (54 months if the maturity of the January 2005 Notes is
extended). The issuance of additional Notes is subject to Infinitys satisfaction of various
closing conditions. The ability to issue additional Notes or the requirement to prepay Notes prior
to maturity will depend upon a maximum Notes balance calculated quarterly based generally upon a
combination of financial performance of Consolidated and the SEC after-tax PV-10% value of the
Companys proved reserves. The maximum Notes balance at March 31, 2006 exceeded the Notes
outstanding on that date.
Outlook for 2006
Depending on the availability of capital resources, the availability of third party
contractors for drilling and completion services, and satisfaction of regulatory activities,
Infinity could incur capital expenditures of $34 million during the remainder of 2006. Approximate
capital expenditures by operating entity would be $29 million by Infinity-Texas; $1 million by
Infinity-Wyoming; $3 million by Consolidated and $1 million by Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. The
Company could also make capital expenditures for acquisitions in excess of these amounts should
appropriate opportunities arise.
At quarterly intervals and over a three year period, commencing in the third quarter of 2006,
Infinity has the option under the Senior Secured Notes Facility to sell additional notes, along
with warrants, in amounts up to $15 million in any rolling twelve-month period. The ability to
issue additional notes will depend upon a maximum notes balance calculated quarterly based
generally upon a combination of financial performance of Consolidated and the SEC after-tax PV-10%
value of our proved reserves. The maximum Notes balance or Free Cash Flow Amount as of March 31,
2006 was approximately $65 million.
Depending on the market price for crude oil and natural gas during 2006, stabilized production
levels from wells placed on line during 2006, and continued demand for and acceptance of our
oilfield service operations in the geographic areas we serve, Infinity would expect to generate
cash flow of between $12 million and $16.5 million from operating activities during the remainder
of 2006.
During 2005, Infinity received approximately $5 million in proceeds from the exercise of
options and warrants. Management expects to receive proceeds from additional exercises during 2006,
but is unable to predict the amount or timing of such proceeds.
In summary, Infinity believes that it may have approximately $30 million available to it in
the remainder of 2006 from cash at March 31, 2006 (approximately $6 million) external financing,
which may include the sale of additional notes under the Senior Secured Notes Facility, cash from
operating activities and proceeds from the exercise of options and warrants, to fund its planned
capital expenditures of approximately $34 million during the remainder of 2006.
Should Infinity identify acquisition opportunities, or if it wishes to accelerate the
exploration and development of its oil and gas properties beyond that currently anticipated, or if
cash flow from operating activities is not at levels anticipated, or if Infinity is unable to sell
additional notes and warrants under the Senior Secured Notes Facility, Infinity may seek the
forward sale of oil and gas production, partnerships or strategic alliances for the development of
its undeveloped acreage, the public or private offering of common or preferred equity or
subordinated debt, asset sales, or other joint interest or joint venture opportunities to fund any
cash shortfalls, or Infinity would decrease the level of its planned capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Infinitys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, described the
accounting policies that we believe are critical to the reporting of our financial position and
results of operations and that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments. The most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements are:
| Remaining proved oil and gas reserves (reserve estimates), | ||
| Timing of our future drilling activities, | ||
| Accruals of operating costs, capital expenditures in progress, and revenue, | ||
| Estimated useful life of equipment utilized in the oilfield service business, |

| Estimated timing and cost related to asset retirement obligations, | ||
| Estimated realizability of deferred tax assets, | ||
| Estimated fair value of derivative instruments. |
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Risk
Infinitys major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its oil and gas
production. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing price for crude oil and spot
prices applicable to Infinitys United States crude oil and natural gas production. Historically,
prices received for gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is
expected to continue. Excluding sales under a fixed price contract of $4.75 per Mcf, gas price
realizations ranged from a low of $5.69 to a high of $7.48 per Mcf during the three months ended
March 31, 2006. Oil price realizations ranged from a low of $56.44 per barrel to a high of $64.91
per barrel during that period.
Infinity periodically enters into fixed-price physical contracts and commodity derivative
contracts on a portion of its projected natural gas and crude oil production in accordance with its
Energy Risk Management Policy. These activities are intended to support cash flow at certain levels
by reducing the exposure to oil and gas price fluctuations.
Sales under fixed price contracts are accounted for as normal sales agreements under the
exemption in SFAS No. 133. For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, the effect of
Infinity selling a portion of its gas production under a fixed price contract, compared to if it
had sold the gas on the spot market, was a decrease in revenue of approximately $0.3 million and
$0.2 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2006 the Company had the following oil collar derivative arrangements
outstanding:
Term of Arrangements | Bbls per Day | Floor Price | Ceiling Price | |||||||||
January 1, 2006 June 30, 2006 |

Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company entered into the following natural gas collar:

May 1, 2006 July 31, 2006
|
1,000 | $ | 4.50 | $ | 8.00 |
The Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of January 13, 2005 by and among Infinity and the
buyers of the Notes includes a covenant that at each date that is the end of a quarterly or annual
period covered by a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or annual report on Form 10-K (a Determination
Date), at least 20% of the Companys estimate of its oil and gas production for the twelve-month
period commencing immediately after such Determination Date shall be protected from price
fluctuations using derivatives, fixed price agreements and/or volumetric production payments. It is
the opinion of management that the Company was in compliance with this hedging requirement at May
8, 2006.
Interest Rate Risk
Infinitys exposure to changes in interest rates results from our $50 million in floating rate
debt. The result of a 10% fluctuation in the 3 month LIBOR would impact our interest expense,
before capitalization, by approximately $0.1 million per year.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (Exchange Act) are communicated, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. At the end of the Companys first quarter of 2006,
as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, an evaluation was carried out under the
supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
21
Table of Contents
operation of
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that
the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that
date. No changes in internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with its
evaluation (as required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the
first quarter of 2006 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
