PetroShare Corp.

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

June 30, 2017

 

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

PetroShare Corp. (“PetroShare” or the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 4, 2012 to investigate, acquire and develop crude oil and natural gas properties in the Rocky Mountain or mid-continent portion of the United States. Since inception, the Company has focused on financing activities and the acquisition, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas prospects in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, or DJ Basin, in northeast Colorado and other parts of the State. The Company’s current operating focus is within the Wattenberg Field of the DJ Basin, which is located primarily in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado.

 

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

In management’s opinion, the Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2017 (unaudited) and December 31, 2016 (see Note 3), the unaudited Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the unaudited Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited financial statements. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Except as noted below, there have been no changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company excluded potentially dilutive securities, as shown below, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Potentially dilutive securities at June 30, 2017 are as follows:

Capitalized Interest Costs

 

The Company has capitalized certain interest costs related to unproved properties that are currently undergoing activities necessary to prepare them for their intended use. These costs have been capitalized to oil and gas properties.

 

Deferred Equity Issuance Costs

 

The Company defers as other current assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital through equity offerings until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of an offering, the costs are offset against the proceeds received. Should an offering be terminated, deferred equity issuance costs are charged to operations during the period in which an offering is terminated. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s deferred equity issuance costs totaled  $186,312  ( Note 10) .

 

Debt Discount Costs

 

On January 30, 2017, the Company completed the third and final closing of a private placement of units consisting of common stock purchase warrants and convertible promissory notes with a total aggregate face value of $10,000,000 (Note 7). The convertible promissory notes contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature.   The proceeds from the sale of the securities were allocated between the convertible notes and the warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature, limited to the gross proceeds, has been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The fair value of warrants issued has been recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes, limited to the gross proceeds, and is being amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method.  Origination fees paid in cash have been recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the convertible notes and are being amortized over the term of the notes using the effective interest method. The fair value of warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with the offering have been recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which establishes a comprehensive new lease standard designed to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public businesses for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which intends to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions. ASU 2016-09 changes several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (1) Accounting and Cash Flow Classification for Excess Tax Benefits and Deficiencies, (2) Forfeitures, and (3) Tax Withholding Requirements and Cash Flow Classification. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public businesses for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2017. Upon adoption of this standard, we no longer estimate the total number of awards for which the requisite service period will not be rendered, and effective January 1, 2017, we will began accounting for forfeitures when they occur.  The adoption of these provisions did not materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies may need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current revenue recognition guidance. In March 2016, the FASB released certain implementation guidance through ASU 2016‑08 (collectively with ASU 2014-09, the "Revenue ASUs") to clarify principal versus agent considerations. The Revenue ASUs allow for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method, and the standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within that period, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Currently, the Company has not identified any contracts that would require a change from the entitlements method, historically used for certain domestic crude oil and natural gas sales, to the sales method of accounting. The Company is continuing to evaluate the provisions of these ASUs as pertinent to certain sales contracts and in particular as they relates to disclosure requirements.

 

There were various updates recently issued by the FASB, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 3—REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In connection with the preparation of its condensed financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company identified an error related to the manner in which it accounted for the fair value of convertible promissory notes and warrants issued in the Company’s private placement during December 2016 (Note 7). Specifically, the Company was required to apply the guidance of FASB ASC 470, and more specifically, ASC 470-20-25-2 and ASC 470-20-25-3. On the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, the Company recorded the face value of convertible notes payable issued in connection with the private placement under liabilities, discounted by (i) the value of the original issue discount and (ii) the value of the warrants issued to the placement agent. The Company did not, however, discount the value of the convertible notes payable by the fair value of the warrants issued to individual investors.

 

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position for any prior annual or interim period. Accordingly, the Company has corrected these errors as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 by revising the condensed financial statements. Periods not presented herein will be revised, as applicable, in future filings.

 

The following tables present the revisions to the balance sheet as of, and the statement of operations for the year ended, December 31, 2016:

NOTE 4—GOING CONCERN

 

Pursuant to the FASB ASU 2014-15, the Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017, and as of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $14.3 million.

 

At June 30, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $4.7 million and other current assets of approximately $5.8 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company’s cash balance has decreased as it has paid  development costs, including costs previously accrued, and general and administrative expenses. 

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company has insufficient working capital and revenues from operations to meet its debt obligations and other liabilities incurred in connection with the Company’s development activities. The Company will need to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and sell equity or debt to fund further drilling activities and acquisition activity. If sufficient cash flow and additional financing is not available, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its business activities and/or sell a portion of the Company’s interests in its oil and gas properties. This, in turn, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the value of its assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining equity and/or debt financing which will enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 5—ACQUISITIONS

 

On April 3, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of oil and gas leases covering approximately 5,874 gross (1,462 net) acres in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado. The seller reserved to itself all rights in the leases that exist below 50 feet above the top of the uppermost J Sand formation for those lands located in Township 7 North, Range 63 West in Weld County, Colorado. The acquisition was effective January 1, 2017. The net purchase price to the Company’s retained interest in the assets following the Company’s working interest partner’s 50% participation in the transaction and a reduction in purchase price due to title defects was $1,284,589. The Company paid a deposit of $258,250 at the time it entered into the purchase agreement, which was credited against the net purchase price at closing. The Company paid the remainder of the net purchase price using cash in the amount of $216,339 and the issuance to the seller of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $1.80 per share.

On April 21, 2017, the Company acquired a 9.37% royalty interest covering approximately 145 net acres located in Adams County, Colorado for a net purchase price of $569,400 following the Company’s working interest partner’s 50% participation in the transaction. The acquisition was effective April 1, 2017. In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid a finders’ fee of 20,555 shares of common stock valued at $1.80 per share to a lease broker.

 

On May 9, 2017, the Company acquired 200 gross (70 net) acres in Adams County, Colorado for a net purchase price of $350,000 following the Company’s working interest partner’s 50% participation in the transaction. The transaction was effective April 1, 2017.

NOTE 7—DEBT

 

Line of credit

 

On May 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Facility Agreement (“initial line of credit”) with Providence Energy Operators, LLC (“PEO”), which provides to the Company a revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000 at 8% per annum, maturing June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the initial line of credit was $5,000,000 plus accrued interest of $500,833 and $302,477,

respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded interest expense of $89,285 and $187,915, respectively, which excluded $10,441 of interest that was capitalized to wells in progress during the quarter.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded interest expense of $34,950 and $56,896, respectively, related to the initial line of credit. 

 

Supplemental line of credit

 

On October 13, 2016, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit facility agreement (the “supplemental line of credit”) with Providence Energy Partners III, LP (“PEP III”). PEP III is an affiliate of PEO by virtue of having some common management personnel. The supplemental line of credit permitted the Company to borrow up to $10.0 million to pay costs associated with its acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Wattenberg Field. Interest on the supplemental line initially accrued at the rate of 8% per year.  

 

The supplemental line of credit was amended on March 30, 2017, pursuant to which the Company agreed not to borrow additional amounts against the supplemental line of credit and to repay $3,552,500 in outstanding principal not later than April 13, 2017, in exchange for PEP III extending the maturity date of the supplemental line of credit until June 13, 2017. On April 12, 2017, the Company paid $3,552,500 in accordance with the amendment.

 

On June 8, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement (“PEP III Agreement”) with PEP III and PEO, pursuant to which PEP III agreed to modify the Company’s supplemental line of credit. The PEP III Agreement extended the maturity date of the supplemental line of credit, including approximately $3.8 million in outstanding principal and accrued interest, from June 13, 2017 until December 27, 2017, and increased the interest rate on the supplemental line from 8% to 10%, effective June 8, 2017.The Company and PEO also agreed to amend the participation agreement between the Company and PEO, dated May 13, 2015 (“Participation Agreement”), in order to expand the area of mutual interest (“AMI”) established and to grant PEP III an option to participate under the Participation Agreement.  As amended, the Participation Agreement grants PEO the option to acquire up to a 45%, and, so long as the supplemental line of credit remains outstanding, PEP III the option to acquire up to a 10% interest in and participate in any oil and gas development on acreage acquired by the Company within the expanded AMI. The expanded AMI covers a total of four and one-half townships in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance on the supplemental line of credit was $3,552,500 and $7,088,698, plus accrued interest of $275,057 and $50,422, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded interest expense of $84,481 and $224,635, respectively, related to the supplemental line of credit. No interest expense was recorded in the corresponding prior year periods.

 

Convertible notes

 

On December 30, 2016, January 20, 2017 and January 30, 2017, the Company completed the private placement of units consisting of convertible promissory notes with an aggregate face value of $10.0 million and common stock purchase warrants. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million from the private placement, after placement agent fees and other associated expenses.

 

Debt issuance costs related to origination fees paid in cash have been recorded as a discount to the convertible notes and are being amortized to interest expense utilizing the effective interest method over the term of the notes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unamortized portion of debt issuance costs amounted to $793,644 and $204,703, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $116,822 and $233,101 related to the accretion of the discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

In accordance with ASC 470, the proceeds from the sale of the convertible notes was allocated between the conversion feature and the warrants based on the fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature of $5,306,456, has been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The fair value of the warrants of $3,682,544, has been recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the convertible promissory notes and is being amortized to interest

10


 

expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with the offering of $1,001,471 has been recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

 

As of June 30, 2017, the Company recorded accrued interest of $nil and recognized interest expense of $nil and $191,669 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to the convertible notes. Interest on the convertible notes during the second quarter 2017 of $249,315 was capitalized to oil and gas properties.

The fair value of each share-based award was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model that incorporates key assumptions including volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. As the Company’s common stock has limited historical trading data, the expected stock price volatility is based primarily on the historical volatility of a group of publicly-traded companies that share similar operating metrics and histories.  The expected term of the awards represents the period of time that management anticipates awards will be outstanding. As there was insufficient historical data available to ascertain a forfeiture rate, the plain vanilla method was applied in calculating the expected term of the options. The risk-free rates for the periods within the contractual life of the options are based on the US Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of the grant for bonds with maturity dates at the expected term of the options. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and currently does not intend to do so, and as such, the expected dividend yield is zero. Compensation expense related to stock options was recorded net of estimated forfeitures, which for options remaining at June 30, 2017, was $nil.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

In the following discussion, “PetroShare Corp.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to PetroShare Corp.

The following discussion analyzes (i) our financial condition at June 30, 2017 and compares it to December 31, 2016, and (ii) our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this report and our audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Further, we encourage you to review the Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Overview

We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas properties and have assembled approximately 9,900 net acres, including mineral rights only acreage, most of which is located in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, or the DJ Basin, in northeast Colorado. Our current operating focus is within the Wattenberg Field of the DJ Basin, which is located primarily in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado. We have concentrated our efforts in areas where we believe the geo-mechanical characteristics of the underlying formations offer the potential for greater returns on capital. Our evaluation metrics include reservoir thickness, reservoir quality and resistivity of each formation, each of which affect the number of wells we plan to drill per drilling spacing unit.

As an oil and natural gas exploration and production company, our revenue, results of operation, cash flow from operations, reserve values, access to capital and future rate of growth are influenced by the prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in prices can affect, both positively and negatively, our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing, operating results, and the amount of oil and natural gas that we choose to produce. Prevailing prices for such commodities fluctuate in response to changes in supply and demand and a variety of additional factors beyond our control, such as global, political and economic conditions. Inherently, the price received for oil and natural gas production is unpredictable, and such volatility is expected. All of our production is sold at market prices and, therefore, the amount of revenue that we realize, as well as our estimates of future revenues, is to a large extent determined by factors beyond our control. To date we have not entered into hedging arrangements with respect to any of our future production, but we may choose to do so in the future.

Recent Developments

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we benefitted from our participation in the 14-well Jacobucci pad located on our Todd Creek Farms prospect. As of the date of this report, all 14 wells are on-line. During the second quarter of 2017, the Jacobucci pad wells collectively produced an average of approximately 1,100 BOE/D, net to our interest. We also benefitted from our participation in three additional lateral wells on our Todd Creek Farms prospect, which wells collectively produced an average of approximately 185 BOE/D during the second quarter, net to our interest. We are the operator of approximately 53 vertical wells which collectively produced an average of approximately 20 BOE/D during the second quarter.

In April 2017, we commenced drilling operations on our planned 14-well Shook pad. The Shook pad is divided into an east and west half, with each half having seven planned wells. As of the date of this report, 13 wells have been drilled, cased and cemented. We expect to complete drilling operations in August 2017. Following drilling, and subject to pipeline facilities installation and capital availability, we plan to commence completion activities on the Shook pad wells, and we expect to bring the first series of wells on-line in the late fourth quarter of 2017. The Shook pad is permitted for 6 Codell, 2 Niobrara A, 4 Niobrara B, and 2 Niobrara C wells.

Future development of our properties, our participation as a non-operator in drilling projects on our properties, and our acquisition of additional acreage is subject to our receipt of additional capital, of which there is no assurance. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information.

Going Concern

As described in the notes to our financial statements, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This qualification is based on our substantial near‑term liabilities, accumulated losses and negative working capital, among other things. We are dependent on obtaining cash flow from operations and funding from the sale of debt or equity to continue as a going concern.

At June 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of approximately $4.7 million and other current assets of approximately $5.8 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, our cash balance has decreased as we have paid certain acquisition and development costs, including costs previously accrued, and general and administrative expenses. In December 2017, we are obligated to repay approximately $3.6 million in principal and approximately $450,000 in accrued interest to satisfy the terms of our supplemental line of credit, as amended on June 8, 2017. Also, in December 2017, we are obligated to make an approximate  $700,000 accrued interest payment on our initial line of credit and an approximate $500,000 accrued interest payment on our outstanding convertible promissory notes. We also have incurred additional expenses related to our operated drilling program on our Shook pad during the second quarter and expect to incur additional expenses in the third quarter of this year. We had net losses of approximately $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the success of our fundraising, current drilling efforts, future exploration and development efforts, and our ability to generate revenue sufficient to cover our costs and expenses. In the event we are unable to obtain adequate funding from the sale of debt or equity securities or our ongoing drilling efforts, both operated and non‑operated, we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate certain of our planned operations, reduce overall overhead expense, or divest assets. This, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our ability to realize the value of our assets.

Averages calculated based upon non‑rounded figures.

Overview:  For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we realized a net loss of $733,469, or $0.03 per share, compared to a net loss of $918,201 or $0.04 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2016. In the second quarter of 2017, we reported the first meaningful production in our history, as the majority of wells in which we are participating were put on-line. Our production averaged 1,302 BOE/D during the quarter, compared to 440 BOE/D in the first quarter of 2017 and nil in the second quarter of 2016. Our net loss for the quarter ended was reduced to $733,469 from $2,139,139 in the first quarter of 2017. We expect to continue operating at a loss until such time as the anticipated cash flow from the wells in which we have an interest is sufficient to cover operating, general and administrative and other expenses; however, we believe that our cash flow from our currently producing operated and non-operated properties is currently sufficient to cover all of our recurring general and administrative expenses.

Revenues:  Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue was $4,457,502 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as described in “Volumes and Prices” below. The revenue that we reported in the second quarter of 2017 primarily came from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs from horizontal wells in which we participated as a non-operator and which were placed in service during the first quarter of 2017, and to a much lesser extent, the vertical wells that we acquired during 2016.

19


 

Volumes and Prices:  Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales volumes were 126,726.4 BOE for the three months ended June 30, 2017, up from 39,928.4 BOE for the first quarter of 2017. We did not sell any crude oil, natural gas or NGLs during the same period in 2016. The crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were the result of production from 14 non-operated horizontal wells which were put on production late in the first quarter of 2017, three non-operated horizontal wells completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, and vertical wells acquired during 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our average crude oil sales price was $46.18 per Bbl; our average natural gas sales price was $2.44 per Mcf; and our average NGLs sales price was $14.57 per Bbl. Our overall average price for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $35.17 per BOE.

Total operating expense increased $485,739 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a lack of production in the second quarter of 2016 and wells added during the second half of the year 2016 through June 30, 2017.

Lease operating costs per BOE were $1.55 and $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As a percent of crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue, routine LOE was 4.4% and nil% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Overall operating costs (crude oil and natural gas operating costs, including production taxes) per BOE was $3.88 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense:  Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased $1,551,362 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in expense was the result of increased production volumes related to wells acquired in 2016 and non‑operated wells coming on‑line during the 2017 period, partially offset by an increase in our reserves.

Interest income (expense):  During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized interest income of $144 compared to $138 in the three months ended June 30, 2016. During the same period, we recognized interest expense of $1,442,475 compared to $34,950 in the three months ended June 30, 2016. The interest expense recognized in the current period primarily relates to advances on our two lines of credit and amortization of debt discounts recorded in connection with our convertible promissory notes.

General and administrative expenses:  We incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,676,587 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $875,344 in the three months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $801,243, or 91.5%. This increase is attributable to increases in salary and wage expenses to $352,108 from $157,583, which was related to the addition of new employees, as well as increases in share-based compensation, employee benefits, board of director fees, filing fees and investor relations expenses associated with being a public company required to file reports with the SEC.

Averages calculated based upon non‑rounded figures.

Overview:  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we realized a net loss of $2,872,608, or $0.13 per share, compared to a net loss of $1,641,007, or $0.08 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Our loss for the first six months of 2017 increased $1,231,601, primarily as a result of an increase in our general and administrative expenses, including a substantial increase in share‑based compensation, an increase in operating expenses, and an increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expenses due to our participation in a drilling program that commenced in mid‑2016, offset by an increase in revenue primarily in the second quarter.  

Revenues:  Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue was $5,918,887 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as described in “Volumes and Prices” below.  The revenue that we reported in the six months ended June 30, 2017 came primarily from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs from horizontal wells in which we participated as a non-operator and which were placed in service during the first quarter of 2017, and to a much lesser extent, the vertical wells that we acquired during 2016. We expect revenue to increase in the second half of the year if we are able to complete some or all of the 14 wells on the Shook pad.

Volumes and Prices:  Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales volumes were 166,655.1 BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We did not sell any crude oil, natural gas or NGLs during the same period in 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our average crude oil sales price was $45.02 per Bbl; our average natural gas sales price was $2.79 per Mcf; and our average NGLs sales price was $15.20 per Bbl. Our overall average price for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $35.52 per BOE.

Total operating expense increased $907,727 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a lack of production in the first half of 2016 and wells added from our non operated drilling programs that commenced during the second half of the year 2016, with wells coming online primarily during the first quarter 2017.

Lease operating costs per BOE were $2.57 and $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As a percent of crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue, routine LOE was 7.2% and nil% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Overall operating costs (crude oil and natural gas operating costs, including production taxes) per BOE was $5.48 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense:  Depletion, depreciation and amortization increased $1,998,409 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in expense was the result of increased sales volumes related to wells acquired in 2016 and non‑operated wells coming on‑line during the 2017 period, coupled with decline curves in wells, partially offset by an increase in our reserves.

Interest income (expense):  During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized interest income of $246 compared to $501 in the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized interest expense of $2,872,275 compared to $56,896 in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The interest expense recognized in the current period primarily relates to advances on our two lines of credit and amortization of debt discounts on our convertible promissory notes.

General and administrative expenses:  We incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,866,669 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1,554,920 in the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $1,311,749, or 84.4%. This increase is attributable to increases in salary and wage expenses to $553,858 from $291,833, which was related to the payment of bonuses in the first quarter of 2017 and the addition of new employees, as well as increases in share-based compensation, employee benefits, board of director fees, filing fees and investor relations expense associated with being a public company required to file reports with the SEC.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Our liquidity and access to capital continued to suffer in the second quarter of 2017. As noted above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to continuing losses from operations, need for capital, and substantial near-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2017, we had negative working capital of $14,268,269, comprised of current assets of $10,487,674 and current liabilities of $24,755,943.  Working capital decreased by

22


 

$8,152,768 from December 31, 2016, primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to accrued capital costs for the development of our oil and gas properties, as well as our initial line of credit becoming short term during the second quarter of 2017.  At June 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $4,659,276, most of which was received from our working interest partner and allocated for drilling and completion costs on our Shook pad. Subsequent to quarter end, our cash balance has decreased as we have paid development costs, including costs previously accrued, and general and administrative expenses. Our continued decline in short term liquidity compels us to seek additional outside financing on an expedited basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received net proceeds of $7,251,662,  after offering costs of $805,739, from the sale of units consisting of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants in a private placement. Substantially all of the proceeds from that offering have been expended in conjunction with our operating activities during the first six months of the year.

To date, we have generated the majority of our capital resources through the sale of debt and equity, prospect fees received from working interest partners, drilling advances from working interest partners, and advances under our lines of credit. We began generating cash from operations during the first quarter of 2017; however, that cash has been insufficient to pay our development costs.

We have fully drawn our initial line of credit with PEO, and as of June 30, 2017, we have $5.0 million of principal plus accrued interest of approximately $500,000 outstanding. As required by an amendment to the supplemental line of credit on March 30, 2017, we repaid approximately $3.5 million in outstanding principal on April 12, 2017 and agreed not to borrow additional funds under the supplemental line in exchange for the lender extending the maturity date of the loan. As of August 14, 2017, we had approximately $3.6 million plus accrued interest of approximately $319,000 outstanding against our supplemental line of credit, all of which is due on December 27, 2017.

On May 19, 2017, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC, through which we are seeking to raise up to $50 million through the sale of common stock.  We also are exploring other financing options. Whether or when we are able to raise funds pursuant to the registration statement or through other financing, or whether we can raise such funds on terms acceptable to us, is uncertain.

The amount we invest in development, drilling, and leasing activities depends on, among other factors, our fundraising efforts, opportunities presented to us, and the results of drilling to date. The most significant of our future capital requirements, in addition to repayment of debt and payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, include (i) costs to drill or participate in additional wells; (ii) costs to acquire additional acreage that we may identify in the Southern Core area or other areas; (iii) approximately $313,000 per month for salaries and other corporate overhead; and (iv) legal and accounting fees associated with our status as a public company required to file reports with the SEC. We anticipate funding these projected capital requirements with proceeds from the sale of debt or equity, the success of which cannot be assured, and revenue from operations.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $4,664,698 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $652,699 during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $5,317,397. The increase is attributable to a cash inflow from drilling advances from related parties, a significant increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accretion of convertible notes, and depletion and depreciation, partially offset by an increase in the net loss as discussed in Results of Operations above, and cash outflows for accounts receivable – joint interest billing, accounts receivable – joint interest billings – related party, and accounts receivable due from operations.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $6,153,996 compared to $4,079,165 during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing an increase of $2,074,831 and reflecting a significant increase in our acquisition and development activities. During the 2017 period, we paid $2,695,226 for the acquisition of additional acreage primarily in our Todd Creek Farms prospect. During the 2017 period, we also paid $3,294,424 for our share of the development of our properties, including the drilling of our Shook pad and our participation in the Jacobucci pad. During the 2016 period, we recorded net acquisitions of $3,479,823 related to the acquisition of crude oil and natural gas properties, including a business combination of $2,305,917 in our Todd Creek Farms prospect, additions of $14,158 in furniture, fixtures and equipment and development of crude oil and natural gas properties of $585,184.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received net proceeds of $7,251,662 from a private placement of units consisting of convertible promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants in January 2017. During the same period, we made a $3,552,500 payment of principal on the supplemental line of credit. This compares to net proceeds of $95,000 from the sale of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off‑balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward‑looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations, and business. These statements include, among others:

·

Statements about our anticipated operated and non‑operated drilling programs, the cost and feasibility related to such, receipt of permits or other regulatory approvals, and plans for the development of our properties;

·

Other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.

The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “will,” “would” and similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward‑looking statements, although not all forward‑looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward‑looking statements and information are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, and there can be no assurance that such statements and information will prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and information. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, and may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward‑looking statements.

24


 

The important factors that could affect the accuracy of forward‑looking statements and prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, but are not limited to:

·

Changes in the general economy affecting the disposable income of the public;

·

Changes in environmental law, including federal, state and local legislation;

Capital expenditures.

Those factors discussed above, elsewhere in this report, and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are difficult to predict and expressly qualify all subsequent oral and written forward‑looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward‑looking events discussed may not occur. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward‑looking statements included in this report after the date of this report, except as required by law. The preceding outlines some of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our forward‑looking statements.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the phrase “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

25


 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
