NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ~~— CONTINUED~~

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of Toreador Resources Corporation and subsidiaries (“Toreador,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless noted herein. 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 pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on April 8, 2011. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We are a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 1951. Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “TRGL” and on the Professional Segment of NYSE Euronext Paris under the trading symbol “TOR”.

Our offices in the United States are located at 13760 Noel Road, Suite 1100, Dallas, TX, 75240-1383 (telephone number: (214) 559-3933). Our principal executive offices are located at c/o Toreador Holding SAS, 5 rue Scribe, 75009 Paris, France (telephone number: +33 1 47 03 34 24). Our website address is www.toreador.net.

Unless otherwise noted, amounts reported in tables are in thousands, except per share data.

Certain previously recorded amounts have been reclassified to conform to this period presentation.

Revenue Recognition

Our French crude oil production accounts for substantially all of our oil sales. We sell our French crude oil to Total Raffinage Marketing (“TOTAL”), and recognize the related revenues when the production is delivered to TOTAL’s refinery, typically via truck. At the time of delivery to the plant, title to the crude oil transfers to TOTAL. The terms of the contract with TOTAL state that the price received for oil sold will be the arithmetic mean of all average daily quotations of Dated Brent published in Platt’s Oil Market Wire for the month of production less a specified differential per barrel. The pricing of oil sales is done on the first day of the month following the month of production. In accordance with the terms of the contract, payment is made within six working days of the date of issue of the invoice. The contract with TOTAL is automatically extended for a period of one year unless either party cancels it in writing no later than six months prior to the beginning of the next year.

We recognize revenue for our remaining production when the quantities are delivered to or collected by the respective purchaser. Title to the produced quantities transfers to the purchaser at the time the purchaser collects or receives the quantities. Prices for such production are defined in sales contracts and are readily determinable based on certain publicly available indices. The purchasers of such production have historically made payment for crude oil purchases within thirty and sixty days of the end of each production month, respectively. We periodically review the difference between the dates of production and the dates we collect payment for such production to ensure that receivables from those purchasers are collectible. Taxes associated with production are classified as lease operating expense.

On May 10, 2010, our subsidiary, Toreador Energy France (“TEF”) entered into an investment agreement (the “Hess Investment Agreement”) with Hess Oil France S.A.S. (“Hess”) relating to exploitation of our shale oil acreage in the Paris Basin. This agreement was subsequently amended on May 18^th, 2011 (the “Amendment Agreement”).

TOREADOR RESOURCES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

(UNAUDITED)

Under the Hess Investment Agreement, TEF, is entitled to invoice Hess for all exploration, salary and general and administrative expenses that are associated with its activities as operator under the exploration permits we hold and in which we transferred to Hess 50% of our interest pursuant to the Hess Investment Agreement. We invoice Hess Oil France for such administrative expenses based on time spent by our employees at an agreed hourly rate and we recognize other operating income as the general and administrative expenses are incurred. Please refer to “Note 1517 —– Agreement with Hess” for further detail on the Hess Investment Agreement and Amendment Agreement.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance that clarifies and requires new disclosures about fair value measurements “ASU 2010-06 — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820)”. The clarifications and requirement to disclose the amounts and reasons for significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, as well as significant transfers in and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010. The new guidance also requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements be presented gross in the Level 3 reconciliation and that requirement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the guidance which only amends the disclosures requirements did not have significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 21, 2010 the FASB issued “ASU 2010-20, Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” which amends existing disclosure guidance to require entities to provide extensive new disclosures in their financial statements about their financing receivables, including credit risk exposures and the allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of these changes had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, Toreador adopted changes issued by the FASB to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements “ASU 2009-13 — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (EITF Issue 08-1; ASC 605)”. The adoption of these changes had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, as Toreador does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.

On January 1, 2011, Toreador adopted changes issued by the FASB to the classification of certain employee share-based payment awards “ASU 2010-13 — Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (EITF Issue 09-J; ASC 718)”. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, Toreador adopted changes issued by the FASB to the testing of goodwill for impairment “ASU 2010-28 — When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (EITF Issue 10-A; ASC 350)”. These changes require an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors. This will result in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. As Toreador’s reporting unit carrying value is not zero ornor negative, the adoption of these changes had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, Toreador adopted changes issued by the FASB to the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations (ASU 2010-29 — Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (EITF Issue 10-G; ASC 805). The adoption of these changes had no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued “ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05).” ASU 2011-05 will require companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The standard does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Because this ASU impacts presentation only, itwe ~~will~~do not expect this standard to have noa material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350),” This accounting update allows entities to perform a qualitative assessment on goodwill impairment to determine whether it is more likely than not (defined having a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance is effective for goodwill impairment tests performed in interim and annual periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Toreador is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance in its consolidated financial statements; however, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

NOTE 2 — ~~CONCENTRATION~~PROPOSED OFMERGER ~~CREDIT~~WITH ~~RISK~~ZAZA ~~AND~~ENERGY, ~~ACCOUNTS~~LLC ~~RECEIVABLE~~

On August 9, 2011, Toreador entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Contribution dated August 9^th, 2011, by and among Toreador, ZaZa Energy, LLC (“ZaZa”), ZaZa Energy Corporation (“New ZaZa”) and Thor Merger Sub Corporation (“Thor Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the merger agreement, Thor Merger Sub will merge with and into Toreador, with Toreador as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of New ZaZa. In the merger, each outstanding share of Toreador common stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of New ZaZa common stock.

Simultaneously with the proposed merger, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into concurrently with the merger agreement, each of the three holders of the limited liability company interests of ZaZa will contribute to New ZaZa the one-third of the outstanding limited liability company interests of ZaZa owned directly or indirectly by such holder in exchange for shares of New ZaZa common stock and $45.2 million in cash and/or newly issued subordinated secured promissory notes of New ZaZa. The subordinated secured promissory notes will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, will require New ZaZa to make monthly interest payments on the last day of each calendar month and will mature on the fourth anniversary of the closing, subject to mandatory prepayments in specified circumstances. They will also be secured by the limited liability company interests of ZaZa held by New ZaZa after the transactions and subordinated to up to $150 million of future senior indebtedness of New ZaZa. This $45.2 million in cash and/or subordinated secured promissory note consideration is referred to herein as the “ZaZa non-equity consideration.” The ZaZa non-equity consideration will be paid in the form of subordinated secured promissory notes, rather than in the form of cash, if and to the extent that the payment of the ZaZa non-equity consideration in cash would give rise to a failure of the minimum cash condition, as described below. Also simultaneously with the proposed merger, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into concurrently with the merger agreement, the holders of net profits interests in ZaZa have agreed to exchange all of the outstanding net profits interests in ZaZa in exchange for $4.8 million in cash.

Immediately following the proposed merger and contributions described above, Toreador and ZaZa will be wholly owned subsidiaries of New ZaZa. After completion of the transactions, the former Toreador stockholders and the former holders of limited liability company interests in ZaZa will own 25% and 75%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of New ZaZa common stock.

Toreador’s obligation to consummate the proposed merger and the obligation of the equity holders of ZaZa to consummate the contribution transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are subject to certain customary conditions, including material accuracy of representations and warranties of the other party, performance by the other party of its covenants in all material respects and that no material adverse effect with respect to Toreador or ZaZa has occurred. The consummation of the transactions under the merger agreement also depends on a number of certain additional conditions being satisfied or waived:

•

the approval of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Toreador common stock;

•

the absence of orders or injunctions of U.S. or French courts prohibiting the consummation of the transactions;

•

the declaration of the effectiveness by the SEC of the registration statement of New ZaZa;

•

the listing of New ZaZa common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market; and

•

the obtaining of required clearance from the French Bureau of Exploration and Production of Hydrocarbons, which occurred on October 25, 2011.

(UNAUDITED)

In addition, each of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is subject to the condition that the sum of the following amounts is not less than $10 million:

•

Toreador’s and ZaZa’s cash immediately before closing, plus

•

the amount of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s borrowing capacity immediately before closing that will remain in effect after closing, plus

•

the amount of any cash of New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa reasonably expected to be funded (whether by borrowings, issuance or equity interests or otherwise) prior to or substantially concurrently with closing, plus

•

any borrowing capacity reasonably expected to be available to New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa within five business days of closing, minus

•

any cash amounts payable by New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa in connection with the closing.

This closing condition is referred to as the “minimum cash condition.” Toreador and ZaZa estimate that New ZaZa, Toreador and/or ZaZa may need to raise up to $76 million of financing (less any unrestricted cash on hand at closing) for the minimum cash condition to be satisfied.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, Toreador may be required to pay ZaZa a termination fee of $3,500,000 if:

•

Toreador terminates the merger agreement to enter into a definitive transaction agreement for a superior proposal;

•

ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because, prior to the meeting of Toreador’s stockholders, the board of directors of Toreador withdraws or modifies its recommendation that Toreador’s stockholders approve the merger agreement, approves any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement relating to any acquisition proposal for Toreador; or approves or recommends any acquisition proposal for Toreador;

•

an acquisition proposal for Toreador has been made to Toreador or been publicly disclosed, either Toreador or ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated by June 30, 2012 and as of the date of such termination, the closing conditions relating to the accuracy of representations and warranties or compliance with covenants have been satisfied with respect to ZaZa but not Toreador, and within 12 months after such termination, Toreador enters into, or consummates, a definitive agreement for an acquisition proposal for Toreador (where references in the definition of acquisition proposal to 20% or more are deemed to be references to 50% or more); or

•

an acquisition proposal for Toreador has been made to Toreador or been publicly disclosed, either Toreador or ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because the Toreador stockholders have voted on, but not approved, the merger agreement, and within 12 months after such termination, Toreador enters into, or consummates, a definitive agreement for an acquisition proposal for Toreador (where references in the definition of acquisition proposal to 20% or more are deemed to be references to 50% or more).

Toreador also may be required to reimburse ZaZa’s out of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $750,000 if ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because there has been a breach by Toreador of any of its representations, warranties or covenants in the merger agreement or any of its representations or warranties become untrue such that the relevant closing conditions relating to the accuracy of Toreador’s representations and warranties or its compliance with its covenants cannot be satisfied.

ZaZa will reimburse Toreador’s out of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $750,000 if Toreador terminates the merger agreement because there has been a breach by ZaZa or any of its members of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants in the merger agreement or the contribution agreement or any of their representations or warranties become untrue such that the relevant closing conditions relating to the accuracy of ZaZa’s and its members’ representations and warranties or their compliance with their covenants, as the case may be, cannot be satisfied.

The foregoing description of the merger agreement, contribution agreement and net profits interest contribution agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which have been filed on Toreador’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 10, 2011 and listed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 hereto, respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.

NOTE 3 — CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and our hedging and derivative financial instruments. We place our cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. We currently sell oil to one customer, TOTAL. Substantially all of our accounts receivable are due from TOTAL, as purchaser of our oil production, and from our partner Hess in connection with all exploration, salary and general and administrative expenses that are associated with, and invoiced to Hess pursuant to the Hess Investment Agreement. We place our hedging and derivative financial instruments with financial institutions and other firms that we believe have high credit-ratings.

We periodically review the collectability of accounts receivable and record an allowance for doubtful accounts on those amounts which are, in our judgment, unlikely to be collected. We have not had any significant credit losses in the past and we believe our accounts receivable are fully collectable with the exception of the current allowance.

8.00%/7.00% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES DUE OCTOBER 1, 2025

On February 1, 2010, Toreador consummated an exchange transaction (the “Convertible Notes Exchange”). In the Convertible Notes Exchange, in exchange for (i) $22,231,000 principal amount of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Old Notes”) and (ii) $9.4 million cash, we issued $31,631,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.00%/7.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “New Convertible Senior Notes”) and paid accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes.

We incurred approximately $1.9 million of costs associated with the issuance of the New Convertible Senior Notes; these costs have been recorded in other assets on the balance sheets and are being amortized using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method to interest expense over the term of the New Convertible Senior Notes (i.e from issuance to the earliest date on which holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their New Convertible Senior Notes, in this case October 1, 2013).

The New Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment with future unsubordinated indebtedness. The New Convertible Senior Notes mature on October 1, 2025 and paid annual cash interest at 8.00% from February 1, 2010 until January 31, 2011 and at 7.00% per annum thereafter. Interest on the New Convertible Senior Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2010.

The New Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time on or after February 1, 2011 and before the close of business on October 1, 2025.

11The New Convertible Senior Notes were convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 72.9927 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Senior Notes (which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $13.70 per share), subject to adjustment upon certain events. Under the terms of the indenture governing the New Convertible Senior Notes, if on or before October 1, 2010, we sold shares of our common stock in an equity offering or an equity-linked offering (other than for compensation), for cash consideration per share such that 120% of the issuance price was less than the conversion price of the New Convertible Senior Notes then in effect, the conversion price was to be reduced to an amount equal to 120% of such offering price. As a result of our February 2010 public offering, the conversion rate of the New Convertible Senior Notes adjusted to 98.0392 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Senior Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $10.20 per share). Pursuant to the indenture, the conversion price of the New Convertible Senior Notes will not be further adjusted under such provision because the proceeds from the public offering were in excess of $20 million.

NOTE 810 — ~~INCOME~~CURRENT ~~TAXES~~ AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and France. The current provision for taxes on income consists primarily of income taxes based on the tax laws and rates of the countries in which operations were conducted during the periods presented. All interest and penalties related to income tax is charged to general and administrative expense. We compute our provision for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws. The measurement of deferred tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce the future tax benefits to the amount, based on available evidence it is more likely than not deferred tax assets will be realized.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2011, tax payable was $0.68 million related to French taxable income. For the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, we paid income taxes of approximately $8.28 million and $711,000 respectively, $6.8 million out of the $8.28 million related to the $15 million upfront payment received by TEF from Hess under the Investment Agreement (see “Note 1517 —– Agreement with Hess”).

For the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011, we recorded a consolidated tax provision of $~~716~~711,000 related to our French operations. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, our French operations recorded a $12.52 million tax provision and the U.S operations ~~recorded~~did not record a tax provision ~~of $7,000~~ which resulted in a consolidated tax ~~provision~~charge of $12.52 million. The tax provision at ~~June~~September 30, 2010 was $65.27 million and primarily related to the $15 million upfront payment from Hess as discussed above.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our balance sheet reflected a deferred tax liability of $1514.20 million and $14.6 million respectively, related to temporary differences in oil property capitalization and depletion methods.

We file both a U.S. federal tax return and a French tax return. We have filed several state and foreign tax returns in prior years, many of which remain open for examination for five years.

NOTE 911 — CAPITAL

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, the Company issued 196,939 shares of restricted stock to employees and directors, of which 113,569 shares (including 71,884 shares for directors) were immediately vested in accordance with the terms of the grants and zero stock options were exercised under the terms of the option agreements. There were no forfeitures of restricted stock and stock options for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011. For the same comparable period in 2010, the Company issued ~~199~~266,~~563~~750 shares (including 93,392 shares for directors) of stock to employees and directors, of which 132,733 shares were immediately vested in accordance with the terms of the grants and 5,000 stock options were exercised under the terms of the option agreements. There were no forfeitures for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010 of restricted stock and stock options.

On February 12, 2010, we completed a registered underwritten public offering of 3,450,000 shares of common stock, including 450,000 shares of common stock acquired by the underwriters from us to cover over-allotment options. The net proceeds to Toreador from the offering were approximately $26.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

NOTE 1012 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Fallen Structures

In 2005, two separate incidents occurred offshore Turkey in the Black Sea, which resulted in the sinking of two caissons (the “Fallen Structures”) and the loss of three natural gas wells. The Company has not been requested to or ordered by any governmental or regulatory body to remove the caissons. Therefore, the Company believes that the likelihood of receiving such a request or order is remote and no liability has been recorded. In connection with the Company’s sale of its 26.75% interest in the South Akcakoca Sub-Basin (“SASB”) to Petrol Ofisi in March 2009 and its sale of Toreador Turkey Ltd. (“Toreador Turkey”) to Tiway Oil BV (“Tiway”) in October 2009, the Company agreed to indemnify Petrol Ofisi and Tiway, respectively, against and in respect of any claims, liabilities and losses arising from the Fallen Structures. The Company has also agreed to indemnify a third-party vendor for any claims made related to these incidents. The Company has not been requested to or ordered by any governmental or regulatory body to remove the caissons. Therefore, the Company believes that the likelihood of receiving such a request or order is remote and no liability has been recorded.

Netherby

On October 16, 2003, we entered into an agreement (the “Netherby Agreement”) with Phillip Hunnisett and Roy Barker (“Hunnisett and Barker”), pursuant to which Hunnisett and Barker agreed to post the collateral required by the Turkish government for Madison Oil Turkey Inc. (a Liberian company later reincorporated in the Cayman Islands as Toreador Turkey) (“Madison Oil”) to retain its interest in relation to eight offshore exploration SASB licenses in exchange for a 1.5% gross overriding royalty interest (the “Overriding Royalty”) on the net value to Madison Oil of all future production, if any, deriving from Madison Oil’s interest in such SASB licenses.

On September 30, 2009, we completed the sale of Toreador Turkey, including with it Toreador Turkey’s remaining 10% interest in the SASB license, to Tiway Oil AS. In connection with this sale, we agreed to indemnify Tiway Oil AS against and in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, and losses arising from the Overriding Royalty. We are treating the indemnity as extending to Tiway Turkey Ltd (previously Toreador Turkey).

On September 6, 2010, English High Court proceedings were commenced by Hunnisett and Barker, as well as by their company, Netherby Investments Limited, against Tiway Turkey Limited (previously Toreador Turkey) and us regarding a dispute over the amount of the compensation payable to Hunnisett and Barker under the Netherby Agreement as a result of Toreador Turkey’s sale of a 26.75% interest in the SASB licenses to Petrol Ofisi in March 2009 (the “Netherby Payment Amount”).

On June 22, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement, the “Settlement Agreement”, in which Hunnisett and Barker agreed to release both Toreador and Tiway Turkey Limited from all current and future claims related to the Overriding Royalty, including the Netherby Payment Amount, in exchange for $3.8 million and the assignment of a certain overriding royalty interest in the SASB licenses to Hunnisett and Barker directly. As required by the Settlement Agreement, we have paid the settlement amount on June 24, 2011 and transferred the royalty interest, mentioned above, to Hunnisett and Barker. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $2.9 million has been expensed in discontinued operations consequently, consisting of settlement amount less prior period accruals.

Petrol Ofisi

On January 25, 2010, we received a claim notice from Tiway under the SPA in respect of a third-party claim asserted by Petrol Ofisi against Tiway Turkey Ltd. (formerly Toreador Turkey) in the amount of TRY 7.6 million ($5.1 million), for which Tiway alleges we are liable for an estimated TRY 2.1 million ($1.4 million). The Court has appointed three experts to evaluate the case. A hearing was held on April 5, 2011 and the Court received the experts’ report which was generally favorable to Tiway Turkey Ltd. against Petrol Ofisi. Upon the objections of Petrol Ofisi regarding the report, the Court adjourned pending a review of the report by the experts’ in light of the objections. The next hearing is due to take place on ~~October~~December 2527, 2011. The Company believes that the risk associated with this matter is remote and no liability has been recorded.

15TPAO

On October 6, 2010, we received a claim notice from Tiway under the SPA in respect of an arbitration initiated by TPAO against Tiway relating to alleged damages and losses suffered in connection with the Akçakoca-Çayağzi Pipeline Construction Project in 2005. Tiway asserts in the letter that the total relief sought is approximately $3.0 million. On May 13, 2011, TPAO served additional claims on TTL within the same arbitration seeking a further $1.5 million. We do not believe the arbitration initiated by TPAO is justified.

Tiway has assumed the defense of this matter and its legal representatives in Turkey have drafted a detailed defense in which Tiway rejects each of the damages and losses alleged by the TPAO. We do not accept liability for the arbitration under the indemnity provided to Tiway in the SPA. We have been informed the arbitration is estimated to take place in mid-November 2011, in Ankara. We believe that the risk associated with this matter is remote and no liability has been recorded.

Lundin Indemnification

TEF executed on August 6, 2010, an indemnification and guarantee agreement for a maximum aggregate amount of €50 million first demand guarantee to cover Lundin International (“Lundin”) against any claim by a third party arising from drilling works executed by TEF as operator on the Mairy permit. The title to the Mairy permit was awarded to Lundin, TEF and EnCore (E&P) Ltd jointly in August 2007. In early 2010, Lundin communicated its desire to withdraw from the permit on which no drilling works had been performed and consequently assigned its working interest of 40% in equal parts to TEF and EnCore (E&P) Ltd (now renamed to Egdon (E&P) Ltd). TEF subsequently assigned half of its now 50% working interest to Hess by virtue of the Hess Investment Agreement. Under French mining law, all titleholders are held jointly and severally responsible for all damages and claims relating to works on a permit. Therefore, under the indemnification and guarantee agreement, TEF agreed to indemnify Lundin upon notice of any liability or claim for damages by a third party against Lundin in connection with works performed by TEF on the Mairy permit from February 15, 2010 until the transfer of title of such permit is formally accepted by the French government. The removal of Lundin from the title did not take place before the regulatory 15-month deadline of September 29, 2011, and Lundin, TEF and Egdon have jointly requested a grace period from the French authorities. Furthermore, in addition to the permit renewal request made on February 14, 2011, TEF, Egdon and Hess have, on June 15, 2011, requested from the French authorities an exceptional 2-year extension of the permit to allow for the minimum financial obligation to be fulfilled. In part owing to this administrative backlog, no works are expected to begin on the permit, if at all, until the second quarter of 2012, and therefore no claims have been made or are currently anticipated under this agreement.

No works are expected to begin on the permit, if at all, until the fourth quarter of 2011, therefore no claims have been made or are currently anticipated under this agreement.

Other

From time to time, we are named as a defendant in other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In our opinion, the final judgment or settlement, if any, which may be awarded with any suit or claim would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Shale Hydrocarbons and French Government

By way of an accelerated legislative procedure, the French General Assembly passed a bill on May 11, 2011 to ban hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells in France. The French Senate passed an amended bill on June 9, 2011 that allowed hydraulic fracturing under a regulated framework of scientific experimentation. A committee of representatives from both the Senate and General Assembly recommended text for the bill on June 17, 2011 that excluded the ability to undertake hydraulic fracturing in the context of scientific experimentation. A special purpose scientific commission will present an annual report to the French legislature on whether experimental hydraulic fracturing should be allowed. This bill was passed by the Senate on June 30, 2011 and became law on July 14th, 2011.

16On October 13, 2011, the French authorities published a list of cancelled exploration licenses, which did not contain any of the exploration licenses in which Toreador has a working interest.

We now intend to commence our proof of concept drilling program as soon as possible. This proof of concept phase, for which the drilling has been delegated to Hess Oil France, does not require hydraulic fracturing. Please refer to the executive overview section of “Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”, for further detail on the French legislation.

Letters of Credit

Under the terms of our derivative agreement, on any day when the current market value of the underlying contract as determined by Vitol is greater than $103.00 per barrel, upon Vitol’s first demand the Company shall provide to Vitol margin in the form of cash and/or a standby letter of credit issued by a bank.

On March 28, 2011, Bred, the Company’s bank, issued a Standby Letter of Credit (“SBLC”) for an amount of $1.6 million in favor of Vitol SA in order to secure margin calls under the collar contract. The Company has pledged the same amount of financial instruments in favor of Bred as counter guarantee for the commitments of the bank under the SBLC. The amount of the SBLC has been amended to $750,000 on September 27, 2011. The full amount of the SBLC has been classified as restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet for the period ended September 30, 2011.

NOTE 14 — DERIVATIVES

~~NOTE~~We 12periodically —utilize ~~DERIVATIVES~~derivative instruments such as futures and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the sale price of crude oil. In November 2010, we entered into futures and swap contracts for approximately 15,208 bbls per month for the months of January 2011 through December 2011. The change in fair value during three months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in a net unrealized derivative gain of $1,548,000. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a loss of $1,654,000 for the margin calls related to this derivative contract. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a net unrealized derivative gain of $812,000 compared to a gain of $709,000 for the same comparable period in 2010. Presented in the table below is a summary of the contracts entered into for 2011:

18NOTE 15 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.

The fair value of the long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same maturities.

On September 30, 2011, the New Convertible Senior Notes, which had a book value of $34.2 million, were trading at $99.00 which would equal a fair market value of approximately $31.3 million.

“ASC 820 — Fair value measurements and disclosures”, establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the authoritative guidance that applies to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis. Beginning January 1, 2009, we also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The guidance requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value expands disclosure about fair value measurements and requires that fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We consider active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2:

Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that we value using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the derivative instrument, can be derived from observable data or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the market place. Instruments in this category include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swaps, certain investments and interest rate swaps.

Level 3:

Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Our valuation models for derivative contracts are primarily industry-standard models (i.e., Black-Scholes) that consider various inputs including: (a) quoted forward prices for commodities, (b) time value, (c) volatility factors, (d) counterparty credit risk and (e) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 3 instruments primarily include derivative instruments, such as basis swaps, commodity price collars and floors and accrued liabilities. Although we utilize third -party broker quotes to assess the reasonableness of our prices and valuation techniques, we do not have sufficient corroborating market evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

19Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in our consolidated balance sheets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

Asset Impairments — The Company reviews a proved oil property for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such property. We estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected in connection with the property and compare such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the property to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount of the property exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and include estimates of future oil production, commodity prices based on commodity futures price strips as of the date of the estimate, operating and development costs, and a credit risk-adjusted discount rate.

Goodwill fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow method. We perform our annual impairment test during the month of December. No impairment indicators were noted during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Asset Retirement Obligations — The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using cash flows techniques and based on internal estimates of future retirement costs associated with oil properties. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of asset retirement obligations include plugging costs and reserve lives. A reconciliation of the Company’s asset retirement obligation is presented in “Note 6 — Asset Retirement Obligations”.

NOTE 15 — AGREEMENT WITH HESS

On May 10, 2010, TEF, a company organized under the laws of France and an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Hess Investment Agreement with Hess, a company organized under the laws of France and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hess Corporation, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which (x) Hess becomes a 50% holder of TEF’s working interests in its awarded and pending exploration permits in the Paris Basin, France (the “Permits”) subject to fulfillment of Work Program (as described in (y) (2) hereafter) and (y) (1) Hess must make a $15 million upfront payment to TEF, (2) Hess will have the right to invest up to $120 million in fulfillment of a two-phase work program (the “Work Program”) and (3) TEF would be entitled to receive up to a maximum of $130 million of success fees based on reserves and upon the achievement of an oil production threshold, each as described more fully below.

The Ministère de l’Ecologie, de l’Energie, du Développement Durable et de la Mer (Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development and the Sea) in France granted first-stage approval on June 25, 2010. An application for the grant to Hess of title (together with TEF) on each of the pending exploration permits in the Paris Basin has also been filed with the French Government.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, TEF has transferred 50% of its working interest in each Permit to Hess (collectively, the “Transfer Working Interests”) and, on June 10, 2010, Hess paid TEF $15 million plus VAT, i.e., an aggregate amount of $17.9 million. This revenue is not subject to any further obligation or performance by the Company nor is it depending on any approval.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, Phase 1 of the Work Program is expected to consist of an evaluation of the acreage underlying the Permits and the drilling of six wells (“Phase 1”). If Hess does not spend $50 million in fulfillment of the Work Program within 30 months of receipt of government approval, Hess must promptly transfer back to TEF the Transfer Working Interests. In light of the political situation in France and our voluntary agreement with the French government to delay drilling in our permits, TEF entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Investment Agreement that extended the deadline to complete Phase 1 by 18 months for a total of 48 months after receipt of government approval.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, if Hess spends $50 million in Phase 1, Hess will have the option to proceed to Phase 2 of the Work Program. If Hess elects not to proceed to Phase 2 of the Work Program, Hess must promptly transfer back to TEF a percentage of the Transfer Working Interests determined with reference to the amount of money spent by Hess in fulfillment of the Work Program during Phase 1.

21Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, if Hess elects to proceed, Phase 2 of the Work Program is expected to consist of appraisal and development activities, depending on the results of the work in Phase 1. If Hess does not spend $70 million (less money spent by Hess in fulfillment of the Work Program in excess of $50 million in Phase 1) in fulfillment of the Work Program within 36 months (“Phase 2”), Hess must promptly transfer back to TEF a percentage of the Transfer Working Interests determined with reference to the amount of money spent by Hess in fulfillment of the Work Program during Phase 1. Following Phase 2, TEF and Hess will bear the costs of subsequent exploration, appraisal and development activities in accordance with individual participation agreements governing the joint operations on each Permit.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, if Hess elects to proceed, Phase 2 of the Work Program is expected to consist of appraisal and development activities, depending on the results of the work in Phase 1. If Hess does not spend $70 million (less money spent by Hess in fulfillment of the Work Program in excess of $50 million in Phase 1) in fulfillment of the Work Program within 36 months (“Phase 2”), Hess must promptly transfer back to TEF a percentage of the Transfer Working Interests determined with reference to the amount of money spent by Hess in fulfillment of the Work Program during Phase 1. Following Phase 2, TEF and Hess will bear the costs of subsequent exploration, appraisal and development activities in accordance with individual participation agreements governing the joint operations on each Permit.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, Hess agrees to pay TEF: (x) a success fee based on proved developed oil reserves (as defined by Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X), up to a maximum of $80 million and (y) a success fee if oil production exceeds an agreed threshold, up to a maximum of $50 million, each of which is subject to reduction under certain circumstances.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, TEF and Hess have designated an area of mutual interest within the Paris Basin (the “AMI”). If either party acquires or applies for a working interest in an exploration permit or exploitation concession within the AMI, such party would be required to offer to the other party 50% of such interest on the same terms and conditions.

Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, TEF is entitled to invoice Hess for all exploration, salary and general and administrative expenses that are associated with its activities as operator of the Permits. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ~~ended June~~September 30, 2011, $~~1.520~~60,000 ~~million~~ and $2.~~859~~919 million was invoiced to Hess and recorded as “Other income”.

NOTE 16 18 — PENSION, POST-RETIREMENT, AND POST-EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATIONS

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and ~~June~~September 30, 2010, the employee retirement obligations amounted to $~~108~~204,000 and $~~245~~273,000 respectively. Pension benefits, which only consist in retirement indemnities, have been defined only for the Company’s French subsidiaries.

NOTE 17 19 — STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

We have granted stock options to key employees and outside directors of Toreador as described below.

In May 1990, we adopted the 1990 Stock Option Plan (“1990 Plan”). The 1990 Plan, as amended and restated, provides for grants of up to 1,000,000 stock options to employees and directors at exercise prices greater than or equal to market on the date of the grant.

In September 1994, we adopted the 1994 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan (“1994 Plan”). The 1994 Plan, as amended and restated, provides for grants of up to 500,000 stock options to non-employee directors of Toreador at exercise prices greater than or equal to market on the date of the grant.

In December 2001, we adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (“2002 Plan”). The 2002 Plan provides for grants of up to 500,000 stock options to employees and outside directors at exercise prices greater than or equal to market on the date of the grant.

The Board of Directors grants options under our plans periodically. Generally, option grants are exercisable in equal increments over a three-year period, and have a maximum term of 10 years.

In May 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the Toreador Resources Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). At the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Plan which increased the authorized number of shares of Company common stock available under the Plan from 1,750,000 shares to 3,250,000 shares. Thus, the Plan, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,500,000 new shares of the Company’s common stock to key employees, key consultants and outside directors of the Company.

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 the Board of Directors authorized a total of 196,939 shares of ~~restricted~~ restricted stock, which were granted to employees and non-employee directors. The compensation cost is measured by the difference between the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant and the price, if any, to be paid by an employee or director and is recognized as an expense over the period the recipient performs related services. The restricted stock grants vest immediately or over up to a three-year period (depending on the grant), and the weighted average fair value of the stock on the date of the vesting was $10.4010 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, respectively. Stock compensation expense of $0.6 million and $2.39 million is included in the Statement of Operations for the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, the total compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock grants not yet recognized is approximately $32.04 million. This amount will be recognized as compensation expense over the next 36 months.

On27 ~~June 30, 2011, there were 1,121,482 remaining shares available for grant under the Plan.~~

The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding restricted stock grants along with their related grant-date fair values for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are an independent energy company engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil with interests in developed and undeveloped oil properties in the Paris Basin, France. We are currently focused on the development of our conventional fields and the exploration of the ~~prospective~~numerous ~~shale~~ oil ~~play~~plays within our Paris Basin acreage position.

We currently operate solely in the Paris Basin, which covers approximately 170,000 km2 of northeastern France, centered 50 to 100 km east and south of Paris. At ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we held interests in approximately 997,000 gross exploration acres (awarded and pending publication). According to Gaffney, Cline & Associates Ltd, an independent petroleum and geological engineering firm, or Gaffney Cline, as of December 31, 2010, our proved reserves were 5.5 Mbbls, our proved plus probable reserves were 9.1 MBbls and our proved plus probable plus possible reserves were 13.9 Mbbls. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, production from our two conventional oilfield areas in the Paris Basin — the Neocomian Complex and Charmottes oil fields represented a majority of our total revenue and substantially all of our sales and other operating revenue. We intend to maintain production from these mature assets using suitable enhanced oil recovery techniques. In addition to this production base, we have identified several additional conventional targets on all exploration permits, including the La Garenne field, which is the first of these targets, and for which we intend to formulate a development plan.

We are also focused on executing with our strategic partner, Hess, a proof of concept program by drilling, completing and testing pilot wells to evaluate the geological and economic potential of the reservoirs associated with the source rocks in the Paris basin. We will not conduct hydraulic fracturing operations within any of our permit areas.

Simultaneously with the proposed merger, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into concurrently with the merger agreement, each of the three holders of the limited liability company interests of ZaZa will contribute to New ZaZa the one-third of the outstanding limited liability company interests of ZaZa owned directly or indirectly by such holder in exchange for shares of New ZaZa common stock and $45.2 million in cash and/or newly issued subordinated secured promissory notes of New ZaZa. The subordinated secured promissory notes will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, will require New ZaZa to make monthly interest payments on the last day of each calendar month and will mature on the fourth anniversary of the closing, subject to mandatory prepayments in specified circumstances. The notes will also be secured by the limited liability company interests of ZaZa held by New ZaZa after the transactions and subordinated to up to $150 million of future senior indebtedness of New ZaZa. This $45.2 million in cash and/or subordinated secured promissory note consideration is referred to herein as the “ZaZa non-equity consideration.” The ZaZa non-equity consideration will be paid in the form of subordinated secured promissory notes, rather than in the form of cash, if and to the extent that the payment of the ZaZa non-equity consideration in cash would give rise to a failure of the minimum cash condition, as described below. Also simultaneously with the proposed merger, pursuant to a contribution agreement entered into concurrently with the merger agreement, the holders of net profits interests in ZaZa have agreed to exchange all of the outstanding net profits interests in ZaZa in exchange for $4.8 million in cash.

Immediately following the proposed merger and contributions described above, Toreador and ZaZa will be wholly owned subsidiaries of New ZaZa. After completion of the transactions, our former stockholders and the former holders of limited liability company interests in ZaZa will own 25% and 75%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of New ZaZa common stock.

Our obligation to consummate the proposed merger and the obligation of the equity holders of ZaZa to consummate the contribution transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are subject to certain customary conditions, including material accuracy of representations and warranties of the other party, performance by the other party of its covenants in all material respects and that no material adverse effect with respect to Toreador or ZaZa has occurred. The consummation of the transactions under the merger agreement also depends on a number of certain additional conditions being satisfied or waived:

•

the approval of the merger agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Toreador common stock;

•

the absence of orders or injunctions of U.S. or French courts prohibiting the consummation of the transactions;

•

the declaration of the effectiveness by the SEC of the registration statement of New ZaZa;

•

the listing of New ZaZa common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market; and

•

the obtaining of required clearance from the French Bureau of Exploration and Production of Hydrocarbons, which occurred on October 25, 2011.

•

Toreador’s and ZaZa’s cash immediately before closing, plus

•

the amount of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s borrowing capacity immediately before closing that will remain in effect after closing, plus

•

any borrowing capacity reasonably expected to be available to New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa within five business days of closing, minus

•

any cash amounts payable by New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa in connection with the closing.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, we may be required to pay ZaZa a termination fee of $3,500,000 if:

•

We terminate the merger agreement to enter into a definitive transaction agreement for a superior proposal;

•

ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because, prior to the meeting of our stockholders, our board of directors withdraws or modifies its recommendation that our stockholders approve the merger agreement, approves any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement relating to any acquisition proposal for Toreador; or approves or recommends any acquisition proposal for Toreador;

•

The foregoing description of the merger agreement, contribution agreement and net profits interest contribution agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which have been filed on our Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 10, 2011 and listed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 hereto, respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.

Concessions Renewal

The decrees relating to the renewal of the Châteaurenard concession and of the Saint-Firmin-des-Bois concession, which together account for 93% of our existing reserves, received final French government approvals on February 1, 2011, and were published in the Official Journal (Journal Officiel) of the French Republic on February 3, 2011. The renewals extend the expiry date of both concessions to January 1, 2036.

The concession that covers our Charmottes field expires in 2013. Under French law, exploitation concessions can generally be renewed for periods of up to 25 years. Although the French government has no obligation to renew the exploitation concessions, renewals have been generally granted as long as the operator demonstrates continued financial and technical capabilities to operate under such concessions. Renewal of the concessions covering the Neocomian Complex was granted on February 1, 2011, and effective as of January 1, 2011. The renewal decrees extended the validity period of the concessions covering the Neocomian Complex to January 1, 2036. Toreador applied for a renewal of the concession covering the Charmottes field in February 2011, but the renewal has not yet been approved by the French authorities. Gaffney Cline, our reserve engineer, has assumed for purposes of its report that the renewal of Charmottes concession (which represents 7% of the Company’s oil reserves) will be granted and that the economic terms of the Charmottes ~~concessions~~concession will not be altered on renewal.

~~Strategy~~32

Strategy

The primary components of our strategy are:

Capture, develop and accelerate conventional prospects. We have identified a number of conventional exploration targets, including the La Garenne field, which is the first of these targets, and for which we intend to formulate a development plan.

Target the prospective ~~source~~reservoirs ~~rock~~associated with the oil resource play. We intend to work with Hess on our proof of concept program and potential development of our Paris Basin ~~shale oil~~ acreage position.

Seize opportunities for external growth. We continue to evaluate and, where appropriate, intend to pursue acquisition and other strategic opportunities on terms we consider favorable. In particular, we consider businesses or interests that will complement and allow us to expand our activities.

Maintain optimal capital structure. We intend to maintain a conservative capital structure over time.

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company announced on June 20, 2011 that its Board of Directors has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) that expires by its terms on December 31, 2011.

The Rights Plan is intended to ensure that all of the Company’s shareholders are treated fairly at a time when the Company’s shares are trading at a 52-week low and to protect against any person or group seeking to gain control of the Company by open market accumulation or other opportunistic tactics without paying full and fair value to all shareholders. The Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any current hostile takeover attempt.

The Rights Plan will be implemented by the Company by means of a distribution on June 30, 2011 of one right for each share of the Company’s common stock then outstanding. The Rights are attached to the common stock of the Company and will not be evidenced by separate certificates, unless they become exercisable upon a triggering event. Under the terms of the Rights Plan, a right will become exercisable upon a person, including any party related to it, acquiring beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock. If the rights become exercisable, all rights holders (other than the person or group triggering the rights) will be entitled to purchase Company’s common stock at a discount. Rights held by the person or group triggering the rights will become void and will not be exercisable. Certain synthetic interests in the Company’s common stock created by derivative positions — whether or not such interests are considered to be beneficial ownership of shares of common stock or are reportable for purposes of Regulation 13D of the Securities Exchange Act — are treated as beneficial ownership of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent to the economic exposure created by the derivative position.

Before the closing of the contemplated transactions with ZaZa described above, our board of directors intends to amend the Rights Plan or otherwise ensure that the Rights will not be triggered by the consummation of the transactions.

Additional details about the rights plan are contained in a Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

This section should be read in conjunction with “Note 57 —– Long Term Debt” in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing.

Liquidity

The Company’s liquidity depends on cash flow from operations and existing cash resources. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $67.6 million, a current ratio of approximately 1.5134 to 1 and a debt to equity ratio of 3 4.0701 to 1. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we had an operating loss of $13.2 million. We had sales and other income of $1928.50 million. We had capital expenditures of $~~131~~185,000 for technical studies of La Garenne. The Company does not currently have a credit facility and intends to rely on its cash balance to meet its immediate cash requirements.

Our cash flow from operations is highly dependent upon the prices received from our oil production, which are dependent on numerous factors beyond our control. Accordingly, significant changes to oil prices are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation, cash flows and revenue. ~~Oil prices have been very volatile over the first six months of 2011, and we expect, will continue to be, volatile for the remainder of the fiscal year 2011.~~ In order to reduce our exposure to crude oil price fluctuations, we have entered into a collar contract for approximately 15,208 Bbls per month for the months of January 2011 through December 2011 for which the floor price is $78.00 per bbl, and the ceiling price is $91.00 per bbl.

We currently have no mandatory capital expenditures in 2011; however, we are currently evaluating a development plan for the La Garenne field. In addition, under French law, each of our exploration permits and exploitation concessions require that we commit to expenditures of a certain amount over the period of the applicable permit or concession. Though we consider these amounts discretionary, such expenditures would be required to renew such permits.

We believe we will have sufficient cash flow from operations and cash on hand to meet all of our 2011 obligations.

As described in our “Operations Update” above, each of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is subject to the minimum cash condition that requires the sum of the following amounts to be not less than $10 million:

•

Toreador’s and ZaZa’s cash immediately before closing, plus

•

the amount of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s borrowing capacity immediately before closing that will remain in effect after closing, plus

•

any borrowing capacity reasonably expected to be available to New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa within five business days of closing, minus

•

any cash amounts payable by New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa in connection with the closing.

Toreador and ZaZa estimate that New ZaZa, Toreador and/or ZaZa may need to raise significant financing for the minimum cash condition to be satisfied.

We also may be required to pay ZaZa a termination fee of $3,500,000 under certain conditions of the merger agreement, including, but not limited to, termination to accept a superior proposal, our board of directors withdraws its recommendation to approve the merger agreement, our board recommends an alternative acquisition proposal of Toreador, or the merger agreement is terminated because our stockholders do not approve the merger agreement and Toreador enters into an agreement for an acquisition proposal within 12 months of such termination. We also may be required to reimburse ZaZa’s out of pocket expenses up to a maximum of $750,000 if ZaZa terminates the merger agreement because we breach any of our representations, warranties or covenants in the merger agreement or any of our representations or warranties become untrue such that the relevant closing conditions relating to the accuracy of our representations and warranties or our compliance with our covenants cannot be satisfied. If we fail to consummate the merger, we may need to raise additional capital to ensure we are able to meet our ongoing capital obligations and to pay these fees and other legacy costs associated with the proposed merger.

8.00%/7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due October 1, 2025

On February 1, 2010, Toreador consummated an exchange transaction (the “Convertible Notes Exchange”). In the Convertible Notes Exchange, in exchange for (a) $22,231,000 principal amount of our outstanding 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Old Notes”) and (b) $9.4 million cash, we issued $31,631,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.00%/7.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “New Convertible Senior Notes”) and paid accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes.

The New Convertible Senior Notes are convertible at any time on or after February 1, 2011 and before the close of business on October 1, 2025.

The New Convertible Senior Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 72.9927 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Senior Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $13.70 per share), subject to adjustment upon certain events. Under the terms of the indenture governing the New Convertible Senior Notes, if on or before October 1, 2010, we sold shares of our common stock in an equity offering or an equity-linked offering (other than for compensation), for cash consideration per share such that 120% of the issuance price was less than the conversion price of the New Convertible Senior Notes then in effect, the conversion price was to be reduced to an amount equal to 120% of such offering price. As a result of our February 2010 public offering, the conversion rate of the New Convertible Senior Notes adjusted to 98.0392 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Senior Notes (which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $10.20 per share). Pursuant to the indenture, the conversion price of the New Convertible Senior Notes will not be further adjusted under such provision because the proceeds from the public offering were in excess of $20 million.

~~The~~35 New Convertible Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option prior to October 1, 2013, in cash at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the New Convertible Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date plus a make-whole payment, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock has exceeded 200% of the conversion price then in effect for at least twenty (20) trading days in any consecutive thirty (30)-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption (a “Provisional Redemption”). The New Convertible Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company’s option on or after October 1, 2013 for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Senior Notes redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes, or on each of October 1, 2013, October 1, 2015 and October 1, 2020, a holder may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the New Convertible Senior Notes in cash for 100% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Senior Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the purchase date.

Dividends

Dividends on our common stock may be declared and paid out of funds legally available when and as determined by our Board of Directors. Our policy is to hold and invest corporate funds on a conservative basis, and, thus, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have identified below policies that are of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates on a periodic basis and base our estimates on experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates using different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Successful Efforts Method of Accounting

We account for our oil exploration and development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but such costs are charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. In most cases, a gain or loss is recognized for sales of producing properties.

The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires management’s judgment to determine the proper designation of wells as either developmental or exploratory, which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to analyze, and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and application of industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. On occasion, wells are drilled which have targeted geologic structures that are both developmental and exploratory in nature, and in such instances an allocation of costs is required to properly account for the results. Delineation seismic costs incurred to select development locations within a productive oil field are typically treated as development costs and capitalized, but often these seismic programs extend beyond the proved reserve areas and therefore management must estimate the portion of seismic costs to expense as exploratory. The evaluation of oil leasehold acquisition costs requires management’s judgment to estimate the fair value of exploratory costs related to drilling activity in a given area. Drilling activities in an area by other companies may also effectively condemn leasehold positions.

The successful efforts method of accounting can have a significant impact on the operational results reported when we enter a new exploratory area in hopes of finding oil reserves. The initial exploratory wells may be unsuccessful and the associated costs will be expensed as dry hole costs. Seismic costs can be substantial which will result in additional exploration expenses when incurred.

Reserves Estimate

Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward recoverable in future years from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain. Proved developed reserves are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well and through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. Proved undeveloped reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Proved undeveloped reserves on undrilled acreage are limited (i) to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances and (ii) to other undrilled locations if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time.

~~Probable~~37 reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir. Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir. Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves. When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates. Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain. Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project. Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

We emphasize that the volume of reserves are estimates that, by their nature are subject to revision. The estimates are made using geological and reservoir data, as well as production performance data. These estimates are reviewed annually and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional performance data. These reserve revisions result primarily from improved or a decline in performance from a variety of sources such as an addition to or a reduction in recoveries below or above previously established lowest known hydrocarbon levels, improved or a decline in drainage from natural drive mechanisms, and the realization of improved or declined drainage areas. If the estimates of proved reserves were to decline, the rate at which we record depletion expense would increase.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, our proved reserves were 5.5 Mbbls. All of our proved reserves are located in the Paris Basin, France. The Neocomian Complex, one of our two producing assets, accounted for 93.32% of our proved reserves. The decrease of our proved reserves from 5.8 Mbbls in 2009 to 5.5 Mbbls in 2010 can be explained primarily as a result of the production from these assets during 2010 (approximately 323 Mbbl) and was partially offset by an increase in oil prices used to calculate the reserves in 2009 and 2010 ($56.99 and $79.35, respectively).

Impairment of Oil Properties

We review our proved oil properties for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events and circumstances indicate a potential decline in the recoverability of their carrying value. We estimate the expected future cash flows from our proved oil properties and compare these future cash flows to the carrying value of the oil properties to determine if the carrying value is recoverable. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the carrying value of the oil properties to its fair value in the current period. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of reserves, future commodity prices, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with realizing the expected cash flows projected. Unproved properties are reviewed quarterly to determine if there has been impairment of the carrying value, with any such impairment charged to expense in the period. Given the complexities associated with oil reserves estimate and the history of price volatility in the oil markets, events may arise that will require us to record an impairment of our oil properties and there can be no assurance that such impairments will not be required in the future nor that they will not be material.

We38 ~~recorded no impairment in the six months ended June 30, 2011.~~

We recorded no impairment in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Future Development and Abandonment Costs

Future development costs include costs to be incurred to obtain access to proved reserves, including drilling costs and the installation of production equipment. Future abandonment costs include costs to dismantle and relocate or dispose of our production equipment, gathering systems, wells and related structures and restoration costs of land. We develop estimates of these costs for each of our properties based upon the type of production structure, depth of water, reservoir characteristics, depth of the reservoir, market demand for equipment, currently available procedures and consultations with construction and engineering consultants. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs is difficult and requires management to make estimates and judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including changing technology, the ultimate settlement amount, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the political, legal, environmental and regulatory environment. We review our assumptions and estimates of future abandonment costs on an annual basis. The accounting for future abandonment costs changed on January 1, 2003, with the adoption of FASB ASC 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”. ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the corresponding cost be capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

Holding all other factors constant, if our estimate of future abandonment costs is revised upward, earnings would decrease due to higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Likewise, if these estimates were revised downward, earnings would increase due to lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.

Income Taxes

For financial reporting purposes, we generally provide taxes at the rate applicable for the appropriate tax jurisdiction. Because our present intention is to reinvest the unremitted earnings in our foreign operations, we do not provide U.S. income taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Management periodically assesses the need to utilize these unremitted earnings to finance our foreign operations. This assessment is based on cash flow projections that are the result of estimates of future production, commodity prices and expenditures by tax jurisdiction for our operations. Such estimates are inherently imprecise since many assumptions utilized in the cash flow projections are subject to revision in the future.

Management also periodically assesses, by tax jurisdiction, the probability of recovery of recorded deferred tax assets based on its assessment of future earnings estimates. Such estimates are inherently imprecise since many assumptions utilized in the assessments are subject to revision in the future.

Derivatives

We periodically utilize derivatives instruments such as futures and swaps for purposes of hedging our exposure to fluctuations in the price of crude oil sales. In accordance with “ASC 815 — Derivatives and Hedging,” we have elected not to designate the derivative financial instruments to which we are a party as hedges, and accordingly, we record such contracts at fair value as an asset or a liability and recognize changes in such fair value in current earnings as they occur. We determine the fair value of futures and swap contracts based on the difference between their fixed contract price and the underlying market price at the determination date. The realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are recorded as a derivative fair value gain or loss in the income statement.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for France is the euro. Gains and losses resulting from translations from the functional currency of euros into our reporting currency of U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income for the current period. We periodically review the operations of our entities to ensure the functional currency of each entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which we operate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED ~~JUNE~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

The discussion below, with the exception of the discussion under the heading “Discontinued Operations,” relates to our corporate activities in the United States and France and oil exploration and production operations in France.

Certain previously recorded amounts have been reclassified to conform to this period presentation.

Revenue and other income

Sales and other operating revenue

Sales and other operating revenue for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was $8.84 million, as compared to sales and other operating revenue of $56.90 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to the increase in global oil prices over the period, which led to an increase in the prices at which we sell our oil from an average of $7477.2467 per barrel in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 to an average of $~~116~~107.6911 per barrel in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011. This increase was offset by a slightly lower production, decreasing from 8281 MBbls in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 to 78 MBbls in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011.

The above table compares both volumes and prices received for oil for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010. Oil prices ~~have~~ have been ~~very~~relatively ~~volatile~~stable over the ~~first~~third quarter of 2011~~, and we expect, will continue to be extremely volatile for the remainder of the fiscal year 2011~~. The results of our operations are highly dependent upon the prices received from our oil production, which are dependent on numerous factors beyond our control. Accordingly, significant changes to oil prices are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation, cash flows and revenue.

Other income

Other income includes all exploration, salary and general and administrative costs associated with TEF’s activities as operator of the exploration permits in the Paris Basin, which TEF is entitled to invoice to Hess under the Investment Agreement. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, $10.~~520~~ 1 million was invoiced to Hess and recorded as “Other income” compared to $150.6 million in the same period last year, ~~consisting~~this ofdecrease ~~the~~being ~~upfront~~due ~~payment~~primarily ofto ~~$15~~reduced ~~million~~activity ~~received~~of ~~from~~the ~~Hess following~~Company ~~the~~as ~~execution~~operator of the ~~Investment~~exploration ~~Agreement~~permits.

Operating costs and expenses

Lease operating expense

Lease operating expense was $32.54 million, or $4530.1997 per BOE produced, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, as compared to $3.1 0 million, or $3836.2176 per BOE produced, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This ~~increase~~decrease is due to ana ~~increase~~reduction inof certain production costs ~~and land fees~~ associated with our conventional production ~~including~~compared ~~expenses~~to ~~related~~the tosame ~~an environmental~~period ~~audit~~last onyear, ~~our~~in ~~production~~particular ~~sites~~Paris ~~amounting~~headquarter tocost ~~$144,000~~as well as higher repair and maintenance costs incurred last year. Lease operating expense for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 also includes inventory turnover variation ~~for~~in an amount of $9627,000.

Exploration expense

Exploration expense for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was $~~142~~96,000, as compared to $1201,~~055,~~000 for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010. This decrease is due primarily to the higher expenses the Company incurred in the same period last year associated with geological and technical studies ~~the Company conducted and commissioned~~ in connection with our proof of concept project ~~which at the time were not invoiced to Hess under the Investment Agreement~~.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was $1.76 million or $2120.8652 per BOE produced, as compared to $01.71 million or $814.1900 per BOE produced for the ~~three~~ three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to the reduction at the end of 2010 of the estimated life of wells used for the depreciation, depletion and amortization to comply with the legal maturity of our production concessions.

Accretion on discounted assets and liabilities

The accretion expense is composed of our asset retirement obligation expense. Accretion expense was $~~148~~139,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 as compared to $31246,000 (positive impact) for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010. This ~~increase~~reduction in expense is due ~~inter~~primarily ~~alia~~ to an update of our asset retirement obligations at the end of 2010 ~~based~~and onhigher retirement cost estimates as well as a change of presentation of the accretion ~~last~~on ~~reserve~~our ~~life~~convertible ~~estimates~~notes ~~available~~which towas included in this account during the ~~Company~~same period last year and onhas ~~higher~~now ~~retirement~~been ~~cost~~reclassified ~~estimates~~to Interest Expense.

General and administrative before stock compensation expense

General and administrative expense, excluding stock compensation expense, for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 totaled $35.04 million, as compared to $1.83 million for the comparable period in 2010. This increase is due mostly to ~~(i) higher~~fees ~~professional~~to advisors and counsels ~~legal~~incurred ~~fees~~ in ~~relation~~connection towith the ~~safeguarding~~contemplated ofmerger ~~our~~with ~~exploration~~Zaza ~~permits~~Energy ~~during~~LLC., ~~the~~including ~~public~~$380,000 ~~debate~~for incommunication ~~France~~advisors, ~~regarding~~$2.2 ~~the~~million ~~ban~~for onlawyers, ~~hydraulic~~$240,000 ~~fracking~~for ~~amounting~~auditors toand $~~0.7~~850,000 ~~million~~for ~~and (ii) generation~~financial ofadvisor, ~~external~~or ~~growth for~~ an aggregate amount of $03.4 7 million.

Stock compensation expense

Stock compensation expense was $10.16 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared with $10.14 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, weno ~~issued~~shares ~~88,939~~were ~~shares~~issued compared to 9367,~~392~~187 shares in the comparable period last year. ~~Stock compensation expense includes directors annual stock grant of immediately vested shares in the amount of $450,000.~~

Impairment of oil properties

There were no impairment charges for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

Loss/Gain on oil derivative contracts

We recorded a gain on oil derivative contracts for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 of $~~313~~515,000 as compared to a ~~gain~~loss of $~~783~~105,000 in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This amount consists of an unrealized gain on the commodity derivative contracts with Vitol S.A as well as the margin calls related to this contract ~~with Vitol trading~~ due to the Dated Brent price being higher than the selling price of $91.00 per barrel under the derivative contract. The unrealized gain on the oil derivative contract for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30,2011 ~~and 2010~~ amounted to a gain of $1.5 million ~~and~~ compared to a loss of $~~783~~105,000 ~~respectively~~for the same period last year. The margin calls for the three months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 amounted to an expense of $1.2 million ~~compared to zero for the same period last year~~.

Presented in the table below is a summary of the contract entered into:

Foreign currency exchange gain (loss)

We recorded a loss on foreign currency exchange of $0.32 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared with a loss of $0.1.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. ~~This~~ ~~increase~~The isreduction of the foreign exchange loss mainly ~~due~~is toa result of Toreador Energy France booking a loss on foreign currency exchange in its statutory accounts in Euro at the ~~weakening~~end of the ~~U.S.~~second ~~dollar~~quarter ~~compared~~2010 due to the ~~euro~~receipt ~~over~~of the ~~same~~upfront ~~period~~payment from inHess ~~2011~~under the Hess Investment Agreement. (see “Note 17 – Agreement with Hess”).

Interest expense

Interest expense, was $0.34 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 as compared to $12.07 million for the three ~~months~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

The interest expense relates to interest payments relating to the New Convertible Senior ~~Notes~~ Notes issued in February 2010. Interest expense ~~for the New Convertible Senior Notes~~ was $~~585~~554,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and related to the New Convertible Senior Notes as compared to $~~633,000~~1.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 related to both the New Convertible Senior Notes and the 5% Convertible Senior Notes. Also included in interest expense are expenses related to the amortization of issue premium and debt issuance costs associated to the New Convertible Senior Notes of $~~137~~139,000 recorded for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared to $~~50,000~~1.3 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This was offset by a positive accretion impact of $~~253~~255,000 related to the fair value of the New Convertible Senior Notes.

The decrease in interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 is explained by the recording for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of (i) amortization expense of $1.3 million due to the change in estimate of the lives of the issue premium and debt issuance costs associated to 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes and to the New Convertible Senior Notes and (ii) $404,000 interest expense relating to 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes. (see “Note 7 – Long Term Debt”).

Income tax (benefit) provision

An income tax provision of $ ~~716~~711,000 was recorded in the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, compared to a tax ~~provision~~benefit of $ 6 (666,~~351,~~000 ) recognized for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010., ~~This~~this ~~decrease~~increase isbeing due to the fact that inan ~~the~~excess ~~same~~of ~~period~~provision ~~last~~for ~~year,~~income atax ~~higher~~payable ~~provision~~in ~~for income~~France ~~taxes~~ was recorded ~~due~~in to the ~~$15~~second ~~million~~quarter ~~upfront~~of ~~payment received by TEF from Hess under the Investment Agreement (see “Note 15 — Agreement with Hess”)~~2010.

Discontinued operations

In 2009, the Company completed its exit of Romania, Hungary and Turkey. We have several claims outstanding relating to these transactions. See “Note 1012 —– Commitments and Contingencies”. Currently there are no contingent liabilities recorded in Discontinued Operations relating to any of these claims.

Discontinued Operations were as follows for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010.

This increase is mainly due to the settlement payment for an amount of $3.8 million on June 22, 2011, related to a settlement agreement with Mr. Hunnisett and Mr. Barker in which they agreed to release both Toreador and Tiway Turkey Limited from all current and future claims related to the Overriding Royalty, including the Netherby Payment Amount, as discussed above and in “Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies”. The 3.8 million settlement amount was partially offset by a provision release booked in prior periods for this matter in an amount of $900,000.

Other comprehensive income

The ~~most~~only ~~significant~~ element of comprehensive income, other than net income, is foreign currency translation. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, the currency translation adjustment was ana ~~income~~loss of $~~535,000~~3.7 million as compared to a ~~loss~~gain of $17.83 million for the comparable period in 2010. This ~~increase~~decrease is mainly due to the ~~weakening~~strengthening of the U.S. dollar ~~compared to the euro over the same period in 2011~~.

The functional currency of our operations in France is the euro. The exchange rates at ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and ~~June~~September 30, 2010 were:

Revenue

Sales and other operating revenue

Sales and other operating revenue for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 were $1625.71 million, as compared to $1117.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to the global increase in oil prices, which led to an increase in the prices at which we sell our oil from an average of $7374.3881 per barrel in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 to an average of $~~110~~106.2686 per barrel in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011.

The above table compares both volumes and prices received for oil for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010. ~~Oil prices have been very volatile over the six months ended June 30, 2011, and we expect, will continue to be, extremely volatile for the remainder of the fiscal year 2011.~~ The results of our operations are highly dependent upon the prices received from our oil production, which are dependent on numerous factors beyond our control. Accordingly, significant changes to oil prices are likely to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operation, cash flows and revenue.

Other income

Other income includes all exploration, salary and general and administrative costs associated with TEF’s activities as operator of the exploration permits in the Paris Basin, which TEF is entitled to invoice to Hess under the Investment Agreement. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, $2.~~859~~919 million was invoiced to Hess and recorded as “Other income” ~~compared~~ compared to $1516 million recorded during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010 consisting of the upfront payment of $15 million received from Hess following the execution of the Investment Agreement.

Costs and expenses

Lease operating expense

Lease operating expense was $68.15 million, or $3836.9529 per BOE produced, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, as compared to $47.4 3 million, or $2730.2442 per BOE produced, for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010.

This increase is mainly due to the reclassification (from June 2010 onwards) of certain costs associated with particular properties and mainly incurred in connection with our existing oil production and conventional reservoirs development as lease operating expenses following the strategic partnership with Hess. In addition, lease operating expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 also includes inventory turnover variation for anin amount of $91123,000.

Exploration expense

Exploration expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 was $0.89 million, as compared to $1~~,075,000~~.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This decrease is due primarily to lower expenses associated with geological and technical studies the Company conducted and commissioned in connection with the proof of concept project in the Paris Basin for the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 as compared to same period last year.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was $34.18 million compared to $12.78 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to the reduction at the end of 2010, of the estimated life of wells used for the depreciation, depletion and amortization to comply with the legal maturity of our production concessions.

Accretion expense

Accretion expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was 36175,000 as compared to $87-159,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The accretion expense is related to our as ~~asset~~ asset retirement obligation.

Impairment of oil and gas properties

There were no impairment charges for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010.

General and administrative before stock compensation expense

General and administrative expense, excluding stock compensation expense, was $ 611.59 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared to $ 5.7 .0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. General and administrative expense include (i) professional and legal fees in relation to the safeguarding of our exploration permits during the public debate in France regarding the ban on hydraulic fracking ~~and~~ in the amount of $~~0.7~~562,000 ~~million~~and (ii) ~~generation~~cost ofand ~~external~~fees ~~growth~~associated inwith the contemplated merger with Zaza, for an aggregate amount of an aggregate amount of $03.57 million.

Stock compensation expense

Stock compensation expense was $2.39 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared to $2.26 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~ September 30, 2010. ~~Stock compensation expense includes directors annual stock grant of immediately vested shares in the amount of $450,000.~~

Loss on oil and gas derivative contracts

~~Loss~~We recorded a loss on oil and gas derivative contracts for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 ~~was~~of $12.90 million as compared to a gain of $~~814~~709,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This amount consists of an unrealized gain on the commodity derivative contracts with Vitol S.A as well as the margin calls related to this contract with Vitol trading due to the Dated Brent price being higher than the selling price of $91.00 per barrel under the derivative contract. The unrealized gain/loss on the oil derivative contract for the ~~six~~ nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to a ~~loss~~gain of $~~736~~812,000 and a gain of $~~814~~709,000 respectively. The margin calls for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 amounted to an expense of $1.2.9 million ~~compared to zero for the same period last year~~.

We had derivative contracts covering only the period from July 1 to December 31 in 2010. Presented in the table below is a summary of the contract entered into:

Type	Period	Barrels		Floor		Ceiling		Unrealized gain forsix months June 30, 2011

Foreign currency exchange gain (loss)

We recorded a loss on foreign currency exchange of $1.01 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared with a loss of $0.1.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. ~~This increase is~~ ~~mainly due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro over the same period in 2011.~~

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest

38Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is mainly due to additional interest payments relating to the New Convertible Senior Notes issued in February 2010. Interest expense for the New Convertible Senior Notes was $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included interest expense for both the New Convertible Senior Notes and the 5% Convertible Senior Notes. Also included in interest expense are expenses related to the amortization of issue premium and debt issuance costs associated to the New Convertible Senior Notes of $410,000 recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These expenses were offset by a $508,000 positive accretion impact related to the fair value of the New Convertible Senior Notes.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is mainly due to additional interest payments relating to the New Convertible Senior Notes issued in February 2010. Interest expense for the New Convertible Senior Notes was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $843,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Also included in interest expense are expenses related to the amortization of issue premium and debt issuance costs associated to the New Convertible Senior Notes of $271,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $98,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. These expenses were offset by a $506,000 positive accretion impact related to the fair value of the New Convertible Senior Notes.

Income tax (benefit) provision

An income tax provision of $12.52 million was recorded in the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, compared to a tax provision of $65.47 million recognized for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. This decrease is due to ~~the~~higher ~~fact~~tax ~~that~~provision in ~~the~~2010 ~~same~~as ~~period last year,~~ a ~~higher~~result ~~provision~~of ~~for income taxes was recorded due to~~ the $15 million upfront payment received by TEF from Hess under the Investment Agreement (see “Note 1517 —– Agreement with Hess”).

Discontinued operations

In 2009, the Company completed its exit of Romania, Hungary and Turkey. We have several claims outstanding relating to these transactions. See “Note 1012 —– Commitments and Contingencies”. Contingent liabilities relating to these claims are recorded in Discontinued Operations.

Discontinued Operations were as follows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010.

We recorded in discontinued operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010 a loss of of $3,~~082~~203,000 and a loss of $~~822~~1,113,000 respectively. This increase is mainly due to the settlement payment for an amount of $3.8 million on June 22, 2011, related to a settlement agreement with Mr. Hunnisett and Mr. Barker in which they agreed to release both Toreador and Tiway Turkey Limited from all current and future claims related to the Overriding Royalty, including the Netherby Payment Amount, as discussed above and in “Note 10 12— Commitments and Contingencies”. The $3.8 million settlement amount was partially offset by a provision release booked in prior periods for this matter in an amount of $900,000. Sales and other operating revenue from discontinued operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 amounted to $38,000.

Other comprehensive income

The most significant element of comprehensive income, other than net income, is foreign currency translation. For the ~~six~~nine months ~~June~~ended September 30, 2011, we had accumulated an unrealized loss of $4.3.7 million as compared to an unrealized ~~loss~~income of $60.57 million for the comparable period in 2010. This change is primarily due to the ~~weakening~~strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro for the ~~six~~nine months ~~June~~ended September 30, 2011 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ~~June~~ September 30, 2010.

The functional currency of our operations in France is the UEuro.S. ~~dollar.~~ The exchange rates at ~~June~~ September 30, 2011 and ~~June~~September 30, 2010 were:

	June 30,
	September 30,
	2011		2010

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011. For additional information, refer to the market risk disclosure in Item 7A as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on April 8, 2011.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2011 to ensure that material information regarding the Company is made known to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and to allow the Company to meet its disclosure obligations.

40Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

~~Table~~We ofcontinuously ~~Contents~~look for ways to further improve our controls and procedures and have implemented the following actions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011:

~~Change~~• inWe ~~Internal~~implemented ~~Control~~a ~~over~~new ~~Financial~~accounting ~~Reporting~~and consolidation software for day-to-day operations and consolidation of financial statements.

We continuously look for ways to further improve our controls and procedures and have implemented the following actions during the six months ended June 30, 2011:

• We are in the process of upgrading our accounting and consolidation software. The new ERP software (SAP Business All in one version ECC6) has gone live during Q2 2011. This new software will enable the Company to record all operations under US GAAP directly on single software capable to produce consolidated worksheets and other necessary data. The software will also provide improved system application controls to further enhance our internal controls over financial reporting.

•

We continually review our internal control processes and documentation in light of the upgrade of our accounting and consolidation software

Collectively, these and other actions are improving the foundation of our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as otherwise indicated above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See “Note 1012 — Commitments and Contingencies”, which is incorporated into this “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

~~There~~For ~~have~~information ~~been~~regarding norisks ~~material~~that ~~changes~~may toaffect our business, see the risk factors previously discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010, which was filed with the SEC on April 8, 2011. The following are additional important factors that could affect our financial performance or cause actual results to differ materially from estimates. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial performance.

~~ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED~~Risks ~~SALES~~Related OFto ~~EQUITY~~the ~~SECURITIES~~Proposed ~~AND~~Merger ~~USE OF PROCEEDS~~

ExhibitNumber	Description	Incorporation by reference
31.1	Certification of Chief Executive Officer pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350, as adopted pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
31.2	Certification of — Chief Financial Officer pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350,

•

Toreador’s and ZaZa’s cash immediately before closing, plus

41• the amount of Toreador’s and ZaZa’s borrowing capacity immediately before closing that will remain in effect after closing, plus

•

any borrowing capacity reasonably expected to be available to New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa within five business days of closing, minus

•

any cash amounts payable by New ZaZa, Toreador and ZaZa in connection with the closing.

We refer to this condition as the “minimum cash condition.” Toreador and ZaZa estimate that New ZaZa, Toreador and/or ZaZa may need to raise up to $76 million of financing for the minimum cash condition to be satisfied (less unrestricted cash available at closing). Cash on hand fluctuates during the course of the year. Moreover, the amount of cash that Toreador and ZaZa will have on hand at closing is subject to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Toreador and ZaZa. Accordingly, the cash on hand at closing may be substantially less than estimated. Toreador’s, ZaZa’s and New ZaZa’s ability to raise the necessary financing may be hindered by the uncertain nature of the credit and capital markets as well as by the fact that, upon consummation of the transaction, New ZaZa may issue an aggregate principal amount of up to $67.1 million of secured subordinated promissory notes to the holders of the limited liability company interests of ZaZa and the managing partners of ZaZa. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in raising the necessary financing. In addition, if we are able to raise the necessary financing, the terms of any such financing may not be favorable to New ZaZa.

If the proposed merger transactions are consummated, New ZaZa will likely have significant leverage at closing.

Toreador and ZaZa estimate that New ZaZa, Toreador and/or ZaZa may need to raise up to $76 million of financing for the minimum cash condition to be satisfied (less unrestricted cash available at closing). Cash on hand fluctuates during the course of the year. Moreover, the amount of cash that Toreador and ZaZa will have on hand at closing is subject to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Toreador and ZaZa. Accordingly, the cash on hand at closing may be substantially less than estimated. Toreador is seeking to raise debt financing, and, after the closing, Toreador and ZaZa may seek to raise additional capital for New ZaZa, if and when necessary. In addition, under the terms of the transactions, New ZaZa may issue to the holders of the limited liability company interests of ZaZa and the managing partners of ZaZa, upon consummation of the transaction, secured subordinated promissory notes with aggregate principal amount of up to $67.1 million. Under the terms of the transactions the aggregate principal amount of the secured subordinated promissory notes would be reduced to the extent that ZaZa or New ZaZa has cash available to pay to the holders of the limited liability company interests of ZaZa and the managing partners of ZaZa without causing the minimum cash condition to fail to be satisfied. However, such cash is likely to be available only to the extent that ZaZa, Toreador and/or New ZaZa are able to secure financing.

New ZaZa is expected to have a high degree of leverage after the proposed transactions that could have important consequences, including:

42• increasing New ZaZa’s vulnerability to adverse economic, industry or competitive developments;

•

requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on the indebtedness (including up to $5 million per year to make interest payments to the secured subordinated promissory notes to the current ZaZa owners), therefore reducing New ZaZa’s ability to use cash flow to fund operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

•

restricting New ZaZa from making strategic acquisitions or causing New ZaZa to make non-strategic divestitures;

•

limiting New ZaZa’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

•

limiting New ZaZa’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business or market conditions and placing New ZaZa at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors who are less highly leveraged and who therefore may be able to take advantage of opportunities that New ZaZa’s leverage prevents it from exploiting.

In addition, the terms of any financing that may be obtained by New ZaZa, ZaZa or Toreador will likely subject them to a number of financial or operational covenants as well as compliance with certain financial ratios. For example, the covenants may impose restrictions on them, including the ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens, make loans and investments, make capital expenditures, sell assets, engage in mergers, acquisitions and consolidations, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and pay dividends on New ZaZa’s common stock. A breach of any of the covenants imposed on New ZaZa, Toreador or ZaZa by the terms of any indebtedness, including any financial or operational covenants, could result in a default under such indebtedness. In the event of a default, the lenders could terminate their commitments to ZaZa, Toreador or New ZaZa, and could accelerate the repayment of all of ZaZa’s, Toreador’s and New ZaZa’s indebtedness. In such case, New ZaZa (and ZaZa and Toreador) may not have sufficient funds to pay the total amount of accelerated obligations, and the lenders could proceed against the collateral securing the facilities, which will likely consist of substantially all of the assets of ZaZa, Toreador and New ZaZa. Any acceleration in the repayment of indebtedness or related foreclosure could have a material adverse effect on New ZaZa’s business.

The consideration payable to Toreador stockholders in the proposed merger is based on a fixed exchange ratio, and so the value of New ZaZa common stock received in the proposed merger may be less than the value of the Toreador common stock as of the date of the merger agreement, the date of this quarterly report or the date of the Special Meeting.

Toreador stockholders will receive one share of New ZaZa common stock for each share of Toreador common stock, and this exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any changes in the price of Toreador common stock prior to the proposed merger. The market price of Toreador common stock at the time of consummation of the proposed merger may vary significantly from the price on the date the merger agreement or the date of the special meeting of Toreador stockholders. These variations may be caused by, among other things, changes in the businesses, operations, results or prospects of Toreador or ZaZa, market expectations of the likelihood that the transactions will be completed and the timing of completion, the prospects of post-merger operations, the effect of any conditions or restrictions imposed on or proposed with respect to the combined company by regulatory agencies and authorities, general market and economic conditions and other factors. Because the exchange ratio will not be adjusted in the event of any changes in the market value of Toreador common stock, the market value of New ZaZa common stock issued in the merger may be less than the value of the Toreador common stock at the consummation of the merger or on such earlier dates.

The proposed merger will result in a significant dilution of the interests of the Toreador stockholders.

The consummation of the proposed merger and related transactions will result in a significant dilution of the interests of the holders of the outstanding shares of Toreador common stock. Since Toreador stockholders, in the aggregate, will own 25% of New ZaZa, each such stockholder will have a significantly smaller percentage ownership of New ZaZa than such stockholder owned of Toreador.

The majority of New ZaZa’s common stock will be owned by the current ZaZa owners, whose interests may not be aligned with the interests of Toreador stockholders.

After the consummation of the proposed transactions, the former holders of Toreador common stock will own 25% of the outstanding New ZaZa common stock and the current ZaZa owners will own the remaining 75%. Under the stockholders’ agreement entered into between the current ZaZa owners and New ZaZa, during the three years following the closing, the current ZaZa owners will be entitled to designate a proportional number of directors to the Board of directors of New Zaza (the “Board”) ((but not more than seven) based upon the current ZaZa owners’ (and their permitted transferees’) percentage ownership of New ZaZa. During such period, as long as the current ZaZa owners (and their permitted transferees) own at least 72.2% of the outstanding shares of New ZaZa common stock, they will continue to have the right to designate seven directors. The remaining directors of New ZaZa will be nominated by a nominating committee consisting of two directors selected by the Toreador designees on the Board (and their successors) and one independent director selected by the current ZaZa owners. During the three years after closing, the current ZaZa owners will be required to vote their ZaZa shares in favor of the nominees of the nominating committee. However, after the third anniversary of the closing, there will be no limitation on the number of directors of New ZaZa that the current ZaZa owners may nominate and elect and, as such, they may be able to nominate and elect the entire Board and remove any directors, including directors who were Toreador designees or nominated by the Board’s nominating committee. In addition, as a result of their share ownership in New ZaZa, the current ZaZa owners will be able to control all matters requiring approval by New ZaZa stockholders, including, but not limited to: mergers, consolidations or acquisitions; the sale of all or substantially all of New ZaZa’s assets and other decisions affecting New ZaZa’s capital structure; the amendment of New ZaZa’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and New ZaZa’s liquidation, winding up and dissolution. Finally, under the stockholders’ agreement, the current ZaZa owners are subject to a three-year standstill period starting on the date of the consummation of the proposed transactions. However, once the stand-still period ends, there will be no contractual restriction on the current ZaZa owners’ ability to purchase additional shares of New ZaZa common stock or take New ZaZa private on terms that may not be favorable to the other stockholders of New ZaZa. The interests of the current ZaZa owners may not be aligned with the interests of the former Toreador stockholders. This concentration of share ownership may have a material adverse effect on the trading price of New ZaZa’s common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with significant stockholders.

There is a potential market overhang that could depress the value of New ZaZa’s common stock, and future sales of its common stock could put a downward pressure on, and could have a material adverse effect on, the price of New Zaza common stock.

After the consummation of the proposed transaction, the current ZaZa owners will own 75% of the outstanding New ZaZa common stock and may dispose of a substantial percentage of their stock from time to time after the six month anniversary of closing, including in open-market transactions and underwritten offerings. In that regard, the stockholders’ agreement provides that, after the six-month anniversary of the consummation of the transactions, the holders of at least 25% of New ZaZa common stock will have the right to request, up to ten separate times, that New ZaZa file a registration statement, which may be a shelf registration statement, under the Securities Act of 1933, for New ZaZa common stock representing not less than the lesser of $10 million and 2.5% of the then-outstanding shares of New ZaZa common stock. Once registered, shares of New ZaZa common stock generally can be freely sold in the public market. In addition, the current ZaZa owners will have the right to require that New ZaZa effect for them up to two underwritten offerings per year. The possibility that substantial amounts of our outstanding common stock may be sold by the current ZaZa owners, or the perception that such sales could occur, could materially adversely affect the market price of New ZaZa’s common stock and impair the ability of New ZaZa to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities in the future. In addition, this selling activity could decrease the level of public interest in New ZaZa common stock, inhibit buying activity that might otherwise help support the market price of New ZaZa common stock, and prevent possible upward price movements in New ZaZa common stock.

The integration of Toreador and ZaZa following the proposed transactions may present significant challenges that may reduce the anticipated potential benefits of the transactions.

Toreador and ZaZa likely will face significant challenges in consolidating functions and integrating their organizations, procedures and operations in a timely and efficient manner, as well as retaining key personnel. The integration of Toreador and ZaZa will be complex and time-consuming due to the locations of their corporate headquarters and the size and complexity of each organization. The principal challenges will include the following:

•

integrating accounting systems and internal controls over accounting and financial reporting;

•

integrating Toreador’s and ZaZa’s existing businesses; and

•

preserving customer, supplier and other important business relationships.

The respective managements of Toreador and ZaZa will have to dedicate substantial effort to integrating the businesses. These efforts could divert management’s focus and resources from the company’s business, corporate initiatives or strategic opportunities during the integration process.

Toreador and ZaZa will incur significant transaction and merger-related integration costs in connection with the proposed transactions.

Toreador and ZaZa expect to pay transaction costs of approximately $17.8 million in the aggregate, excluding change of control severance payments to some of their departing employees. These transaction fees include investment banking, legal and accounting fees and expenses, expenses associated with the financing of the transactions, SEC filing fees, printing expenses, mailing expenses and other related charges. These amounts are preliminary estimates that are subject to change. A portion of the transaction costs will be incurred regardless of whether the transactions are consummated. Toreador and ZaZa will each pay its own transaction costs, except that Toreador will pay the costs, expenses and filing fees for its regulatory filings and for printing and distributing the registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus. Toreador and ZaZa also expect to incur costs associated with integrating the operations of the two companies and these costs could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on New ZaZa’s future operating results.

While the transactions are pending, Toreador and ZaZa will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions that could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

Uncertainty about the effect of the transactions on customers and suppliers may have a material adverse effect on Toreador and ZaZa and, consequently, on New ZaZa. These uncertainties could cause customers, suppliers and others who deal with Toreador and ZaZa to seek to change existing business relationships with Toreador and ZaZa. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Toreador and ZaZa, without the other party’s consent and subject to certain exceptions, from making certain acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the transactions occur or the merger agreement terminates. These restrictions may prevent Toreador and ZaZa from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to completion of the transactions or termination of the merger agreement and from making other changes to their businesses. Management’s and our employees’ attention may be diverted from our day-to-day business because matters related to the proposed merger transactions may require substantial commitments of their tile and resources. Toreador’s relationships with customers, partners and vendors may be harmed due to uncertainties with regard to our business and prospects.

Failure to complete the proposed transactions could negatively impact the stock price and the future business and financial results of Toreador.

Our proposed merger is subject to a number of conditions that must be satisfied prior to the closing. For example, the stockholders of Toreador may not approve the transactions, or the parties may not satisfy the other conditions to the completion of the transactions. If the transactions are not completed for any reason, Toreador’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow may be harmed and Toreador could be subject to several risks, including the following:

•

being required to pay ZaZa a termination fee of up to $3.5 million in certain circumstances;

•

having Toreador’s management’s focus directed toward the transactions and integration planning instead of on Toreador’s core business and other opportunities that could have been beneficial to Toreador;

•

incurring substantial transaction costs related to the proposed merge; and requiring us to raise additional capital in 2012 to meet fees and expenses associated with the failed merger.

Further, Toreador would not realize any of the expected benefits of having completed the transactions.

In addition, if the agreement is terminated because Toreador breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants in the merger agreement, and, as a result, the closing conditions relating to the accuracy of its representations and warranties or its compliance with its covenants cannot be satisfied, Toreador will be required to pay ZaZa its out of pocket expenses up to $750,000.

If the transactions are not completed, the price of Toreador common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of that stock reflects a market assumption that the transactions will be completed and that the related benefits will be realized, or a market perception that the transactions were not consummated due to an adverse change in Toreador’s business. In addition, Toreador’s business may be harmed, and the price of its stock may decline as a result, to the extent that customers, suppliers and others believe that Toreador cannot compete in the marketplace as effectively without the transactions or otherwise remain uncertain about Toreador’s future prospects in the absence of the transactions. Similarly, current and prospective employees of Toreador may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the resulting company and choose to pursue other opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on Toreador if the transactions are not completed. The realization of any of these risks may materially adversely affect the business, financial results, financial condition and stock price of Toreador.

Some of the directors and executive officers of Toreador have interests in the transactions that are different from the interests of Toreador’s stockholders.

Some directors and executive officers of Toreador have interests in the transactions that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Toreador stockholders. These interests include (1) their designation as New ZaZa directors or executive officers following the completion of the transactions, (2) the fact that the completion of the transaction will result in the acceleration of vesting of restricted stock awards held by the executive officers of Toreador and (3) the fact that the two executive officers of Toreador have employment agreements with change of control provisions that will entitle them to cash payments and other benefits if the transactions are completed and their employment is terminated or if the executive in question resigns or terminates his employment under certain specified circumstances.

The merger agreement contains provisions that could discourage or make it difficult for a third party to acquire the company prior to the completion of the merger.

The merger agreement contains provisions that make it difficult for us to entertain a third-party proposal for an acquisition. These provisions include the general prohibition on our soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations regarding any alternative acquisition proposal, and the requirement that we pay a termination fee of $3.5million if the merger agreement is terminated in specified circumstances. These provisions might discourage an otherwise-interested third party from considering or proposing an acquisition, even one that may be deemed of greater value than the proposed merger to our stockholders. Furthermore, even if a third party elects to propose an acquisition, the concept of a termination fee may result in that third party’s offering of a lower value to our stockholders than such third party might otherwise have offered.
