Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of Hibernia Energy Ill , LLC

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Hibernia Energy 111, LLC (the Company) , which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor 's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America , and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of .financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company 's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate , they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

Building a better

working world

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly , no such opinion is expressed.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

•

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company 's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

Formation and Operations of the Company

Hibernia Energy III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company or Hibernia) was formed on July 28, 2017 for the purpose of engaging in the acquisition, development, and operation of oil and gas properties in the United States of America. The Company is a consolidated affiliate of Natural Gas Partners (NGP) and was initially capitalized by $250 million of equity commitments from NGP through NGP Natural Resources XII, L.P. In addition to the commitment from NGP, Hibernia management and members (collectively, the Members) made equity commitments in excess of $21 million, to be contributed as needed to fund oil and gas property acquisitions and other working capital needs. As an LLC, the amount of loss at risk for each individual member is limited to the amount of capital contributed to the LLC and, unless otherwise noted, the individual member’s liability for indebtedness of an LLC is limited to the member’s actual capital contribution. The LLC agreement terminates on August 8, 2024 unless the Board agrees to extend operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Polices

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of Hibernia Energy III, LLC and its subsidiaries, Hibernia Resources III, LLC, Hibernia Management III, LLC, Cloverride Royalty, LLC and Celtic Disposal, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures have been consolidated on a proportionate basis.

(b)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases, as a new Topic, ASC Topic 842. The new lease standard requires entities to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This standard offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, allowing the Company to carry forward conclusions related to: (a) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases; (b) lease classification; and (c) initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company has elected not to record operating lease right-of-use assets or lease liabilities associated with leases with durations of 12 months or less. The Company elected the practical expedient allowing aggregation of non-lease components with related lease components when evaluating the accounting treatment for all classes of underlying assets.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach. In transitioning to ASC 842, the Company elected to use the practical expedient package available at the time of implementation and did not elect to use hindsight in determining lease term and assessing impairment of entity’s right-of-use assets. These elections have been applied consistently to all leases existing at, or entered into after, January 1, 2022 (the beginning of the period of adoption). As a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, we recognized on January 1, 2022, a right-of-use asset of $2,247 thousand and a lease liability of $2,246 thousand. Lease disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2021 are made under prior lease guidance in FASB ASC 840.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ("ASU 2016-13") which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. It requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023 and the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas liquid (NGL) and natural gas reserves are the most significant of the Company’s estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process that includes numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of underground proved crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserves estimates may be different from the quantities ultimately recovered.

Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of oil & gas properties subject to the full cost “ceiling test,” and depreciation, depletion, and amortization, future plugging and abandonment costs, mark-to-market valuation of commodity derivatives, and values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions. While the Company believes current estimates are reasonable and appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions in the United States of America, which from time to time, may exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. None of the Company’s cash is restricted.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of accrued revenues for oil and gas sales and joint owner billings. Receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers are $66,568 thousand and $31,843 thousand at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Receivables from joint owner billings are $26,857 thousand and $7,313 thousand at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a review of the Company’s receivables. Receivables are charged off when collection efforts have failed and the account is deemed uncollectible. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company believes all accounts receivable are collectible and no allowance is required.

(f)

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company accounts for its investment in oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting. Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, including costs of undeveloped leaseholds, dry holes and leasehold equipment, are capitalized. Internal costs incurred that are directly identified with acquisition, exploration and development activities undertaken by the Company for its own account, and that are not related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities, are also capitalized. Interest costs incurred and attributable to unproved oil and gas properties under current evaluation are also capitalized. All costs related to production activities are charged to expense as incurred.

The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties plus estimated future development costs (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage values and accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) are amortized on a unit of production method over the estimated productive life of the proved reserves. DD&A expense related to oil and gas properties for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $84,108 thousand and $24,318 thousand, respectively.

Certain oil and gas property costs can represent investments in unproved properties and are excluded from capitalized costs being depleted. These costs can include nonproducing leasehold, geological, and geophysical costs associated with unproved leasehold acreage and exploration drilling costs. These costs are excluded until projects are evaluated and either proved reserves are established or management determines these costs have been impaired. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was $29,951 thousand and $26,070 thousand, respectively classified as unproved in the Company’s portfolio of oil and gas properties, respectively.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes, may not exceed the full cost “ceiling.” The ceiling is based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10% per annum, net of related tax effects. Estimated future net revenue excludes future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations included in the net book value of oil and gas properties. Estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months. Prices are held constant indefinitely and are not changed except where different prices are fixed and determinable from applicable contracts for the remaining term of those contracts. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred taxes, over the ceiling is written off as an impairment. An impairment recorded in one period may not be reversed in a subsequent period even though commodity prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the subsequent period. For the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the full cost ceiling was greater than the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and deferred income taxes. As such, no impairments were recorded.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

Proceeds from the sale of proved oil and gas properties are recognized as a reduction of oil and gas property costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless the sale significantly alters the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas. Proceeds from the sale of unproved oil and gas properties are recognized as a reduction of oil and gas property costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless the consideration received is greater than the unproved oil and gas property balance. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any sales of oil and gas properties that significantly altered such relationship or that were greater than the unproved property balance.

The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, such as producing well sites when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of such assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. When the assumptions used to estimate a recorded asset retirement obligation change, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost.

(g)

Oil and Gas Reserves

The estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are estimated in accordance with the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FASB, which require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions using a 12-month historical average first of month price with no provision for price and cost escalations in future years except by contractual arrangements.

(h)

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses from third parties using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method the fair value of purchase consideration is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. When sufficient market data is not available, the Company determines the fair values of proved and unproved properties acquired by preparing internal estimates of cash flows from the production of crude oil, natural gas and NGL reserves with the assistance of reserve engineers. The Company estimates future prices, operating and development costs to apply to the estimated reserves quantities acquired to arrive at an estimate of future net undiscounted cash flows. Future net undiscounted cash flows are discounted to fair value using a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate determined appropriate at the time of the business combination. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company’s estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that management believes will impact realizable prices. To compensate for the inherent risk of estimating and valuing unproved reserves, discounted future net cash flows of probable and possible reserves are reduced by additional risk-weighting factors. The inputs used by management for the fair value measurements of these acquired oil and gas properties include significant unobservable inputs, and therefore, the fair value measurements employed are classified as Level 3 for these types of assets.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

For acquisitions of assets from third parties, the Company records the purchase price at cost and allocates such amounts to the identifiable assets and liabilities on a relative fair value basis. Fair values used in the relative fair value allocation are estimated in a similar manner as used in business combinations noted above. The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses and acquisitions of assets from NGP and affiliates controlled by NGP as transactions between entities under common control, whereby the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at NGP’s carrying value with differences between the fair value paid and the net assets acquired to be reflected in Members’ Equity. Historical financial results are recast for all periods presented in common control transactions involving the acquisition (or disposal) of a business. Common control transactions not involving the acquisition (or disposal) of a business do not require recasting of historical financial results. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no such common control transactions.

(i)

Other Property and Equipment

Other property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range between 3 to 30 years as shown in the table below. Expenditures for the maintenance and repair of these assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that significantly improve or extend the useful life of these assets are capitalized and depreciated. DD&A expense related to other property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1,911 thousand and $2,122 thousand, respectively.

Asset Category		Useful Life
Office Furniture & Fixtures		7
Computer Software		5
Computer Hardware		5
Office Equipment		5
Vehicles		5
Leasehold Improvements		6
Field Equipment		3
Building		30
Facility Costs		20
Salt Water Disposal Facilities		20

The carrying value of the other property and equipment is periodically evaluated under the provisions of GAAP. GAAP requires long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When it is determined that the estimated future net cash flows of an asset will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment loss must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. No impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Revenue Recognition

Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues are recognized upon the transfer of control of the products to a purchaser. Transfer of control typically occurs when the products are delivered to the purchaser, title or risk of loss has transferred and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized net of royalties due to third parties in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. The Company’s oil production is primarily sold under market-sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to a market index price or at purchaser posted prices for the producing area. For oil contracts, the Company generally records sales based on the net amount received. The Company’s natural gas production is primarily sold under market- sensitive contracts that are typically priced at a differential to the published natural gas index price for the producing area due to the natural gas quality and the proximity to major consuming markets. For natural gas contracts, the Company generally records wet gas sales at the wellhead or inlet of the gas processing plant as revenues net of transportation, gathering and processing expenses if the processor is the customer and there is no redelivery of commodities to the Company at the tailgate of the plant. Conversely, the Company generally records residual natural gas and NGL sales at the tailgate of the plant on a gross basis along with the associated transportation, gathering and processing expenses if the processor is a service provider and there is redelivery of commodities to the Company at the tailgate of the plant. The Company recognizes salt water disposal revenue when control transfers from the producer at the facility and is recorded based on the agreed upon contract price. All facts and circumstances of an arrangement are considered and judgment is often required in making this determination.

Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers includes the sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production and gathering and transportation revenues recorded in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the consolidated statements of operations.

Oil, gas, and NGL sales and salt water disposal revenue totaled $509,874 thousand, $58,746 thousand, $79,363 thousand, and $0 respectively, representing total revenue from contracts with customers presented on the consolidated statement of operations of $647,983 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. Oil, gas, and NGL sales and salt water disposal revenue totaled $122,669 thousand, $14,409 thousand, $26,211 thousand, and $674 thousand respectively, representing total revenue from contracts with customers presented on the consolidated statement of operations of $163,963 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Performance obligations and contract balances

Customers are invoiced once the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. There are no significant judgments that significantly affect the amount or timing of revenue from contracts with customers. Accordingly, the Company’s product sales contracts do not give rise to material contract assets or contract liabilities. Accounts receivable from the sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids are primarily from exploration and production companies that own interests in properties operated by the Company. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and bad debts are recorded based on an account by account review specifically identifying receivables that the Company believes may be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted, and the potential recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any reserves for doubtful accounts.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Company applies the optional exemptions in Topic 606 and does not disclose consideration for remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less or for variable consideration related to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.

(k)

Income Taxes

The Company is a pass-through entity for U.S. tax purposes. Under the existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, a pass-through entity is exempt from U.S. federal income tax. The income or loss of a pass-through entity is passed through to the owners who include their share of the Company’s separately stated items of income, deduction, loss, and credit and their share of non-separately stated income or loss. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income tax has been provided for the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the owners report their share of the Company’s taxable income or loss in their income tax return. Provisions for state taxes are based on the gross profit margin of the Company.

Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more likely than not threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of expense to record in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of expense that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. The Company classifies any potential accrued interest recognized on an underpayment of income taxes as interest expense and classifies any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position taken as operating expense. Management of the Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would be expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2022.

The Company is subject to Texas Franchise Tax. A provision for Texas Franchise Tax is recognized as income taxes in the consolidated financial statements based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year. Deferred income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion or all deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the benefit or future deductibility is not probable.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, total income tax expense was $3,012 thousand and ($35) thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s deferred tax liabilities of $3,448 thousand and $445 thousand, respectively, consisted of differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of oil and gas properties that will be taxable in the future.

Tax returns related to the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. The Company did not incur any penalties or interest related to tax returns during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(l)

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s oil and gas operations have a concentration of purchasers in the energy industry. This customer concentration may impact the Company’s overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the purchasers may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company does not require collateral from its purchasers against their receivables and did not experience any material credit losses or write offs of receivables and an allowance for doubtful accounts was not deemed necessary.

During 2022, the Company had four customers that accounted for 84.0% of revenue. Accounts receivable from these customers, totaled approximately $48,531 thousand at December 31, 2022. During 2021, the Company had three customers that accounted for 91.9% of revenue. Accounts receivable from these customers, totaled approximately $29,251 thousand at December 31, 2021.

(m)

Fair value of Financial instruments

In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

	●	Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

	●	Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are based upon quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, based upon quoted prices within inactive markets, or inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable through market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

	●	Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. The Company develops unobservable inputs using the best information available in the circumstance, which might include the Company’s own data.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is considered to approximate carrying value due to its variable interest rates. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative contracts in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Currently, the Company has elected not to designate any derivative contracts as accounting hedges under the provisions of ASC Topic 815. As such, all derivative contracts are carried at their fair value on the balance sheet and are marked to market at the end of each period with a related adjustment to earnings.

The Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows includes the unrealized gain and loss on commodity derivative instruments, which represented the difference between the total gain and loss on commodity derivative instruments and the cash received or paid on settlements of commodity derivative instruments during the reporting period.

Fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are based on third-party pricing models which utilize inputs that are either readily available in the public market, such as forward curves, or can be corroborated from active markets of broker quotes. Future prices generally have observable inputs and are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy defined in ASC Topic 820. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company believes that substantially all the inputs required to calculate the fair value of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids futures prices are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of these derivative instruments or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace, and are, therefore, classified as Level 2. Significant changes in the quoted forward prices for commodities and changes in market volatility generally lead to corresponding changes in the fair value measurement of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the right of offset exists and certain other criteria are met, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted on the balance sheet against derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively.

As part of a divestiture during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to contingent consideration arrangements, where they will receive certain amounts if commodity prices are greater than specified thresholds. The fair values of the contingent consideration arrangements were determined by a third-party valuation specialist including significant inputs such as forward oil prices curves and volatility factors. These inputs are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the contingent consideration arrangements or can be derived from observable data and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. In 2021, the contingent considerations arrangements were realized in the amount of $400 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The value of asset retirement obligations is measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, which converts future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant assumptions to the valuation include: (i) estimated plugging and abandonment cost per well based on Company experience; (ii) estimated remaining life per well based on the reserve life per well; (iii) future inflation factors; (iv) the Company’s average credit adjusted risk free rate; and (v) applicable regulatory requirements.

Inherent in the value calculation of asset retirement obligations are numerous assumptions and judgments including, in addition to those noted above, the ultimate settlement of these amounts, the ultimate timing of such settlement, and changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing asset retirement obligation liability, a corresponding adjustment will be made to the asset balance.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

(a)

Acquisition of Certain Oil & Gas Properties from Arroyo Energy Fund – 2022

Credit Facility

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent and issuing bank to other prospective lenders (the Credit Agreement) with an initial borrowing base of $28 million. The Company entered into the fifth amendment to the Credit Agreement on May 24, 2021 and subsequently entered into the sixth amendment on November 24, 2021. These amendments included several commercial changes, extending the maturity to November 24, 2025, added four additional lenders, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), Comerica Bank, Amegy Bank and Citibank, NA, and transitioned the benchmark rate from LIBOR to an Adjusted SOFR rate, secured overnight financing rate.

The borrowing base under the Credit Agreement is subject to review every six-months on April 1 and October 1 of each year where it can be increased or decreased based on the projected present value (as determined by petroleum engineers incorporating certain assumptions provided by the lenders) of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves of the oil and gas properties pledged as collateral. Pursuant with these reviews, the borrowing base was $600 million and $250 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Amounts drawn under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates, at the Company’s option, based either on either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin (Term Benchmark) or (ii) the base rate, with the base rate, equal to the highest of (a) JPMorgan Change Bank prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or (c) LIBOR plus 1%, plus an applicable margin (ABR loans).

As amended, fees on letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement are at a rate equal to the applicable margin plus issuance fees of 0.125%. The Company must also pay a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the borrowing base of 0.5%. The applicable margin is based on the ratio of outstanding cash borrowing plus issued letters of credit divided by the borrowing base (the Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage) as follows:

*Borrowing Base* *Utilization Grid*
Borrowing Base Utilization Percentage	< 25%	> 25% but < 50%	> 50% but < 75%	> 75% but < 90%	> 90%
Term Benchmark Loans and RFR Loans	2.750%	3.000%	3.250%	3.500%	3.750%
ABR Loans	1.750%	2.000%	2.250%	2.500%	2.750%

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

As amended, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, which include the requirement to maintain certain financial covenants consisting of a maximum permitted debt to net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, exploration, and debt issuance costs ratio of 3.25:1 and a consolidated current assets plus unused capacity under the Credit Agreement to consolidated current liabilities ratio not to exceed 1:1. At December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $299 million and $62.5 million of borrowings, respectively, and no letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement and, as a result, $301 million and $187.5 million, respectively, was available for use under the credit facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was 7.7% and 3.2%, respectively.

Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”)

On October 26, 2021, the Company executed a definitive agreement with Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Partner”) to jointly develop up to 16 Hibernia operated wells in Upton and Reagan Counties, Texas. The development program targets the Wolfcamp and Spraberry formations and Hibernia serves as operator of all the wells. Under the agreement, the Partner will carry Hibernia for a portion of the capital costs to drill, complete and equip the program wells. The agreement covers well bore interest only and as such the Partner will not have the right to participate in future development on the assets as the program is completed.

(8)

Farmout and Development Agreement (“FDA”)

On May 20, 2019, the Company executed a definitive agreement with DCR III, L.P. (the “Investor”) to jointly develop up to 30 Hibernia operated wells in Upton and Reagan Counties, Texas (the “Development Agreement”) for up to $150 million, whereby $89.7 million in development capital was utilized through December 31, 2020. At the time of the executed agreement, one well was already in progress of being drilled. The Company contributed the well to the agreement at cost in the amount of $12.54 million. The Investor made a cash payment related to their working interest portion of the contributed well. On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the farmout and development agreement. Under this amendment, the total capital commitment was increased to $200 million. The amount advanced by the investor for drilling activities was $23.9 million, which was recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment as a result of the commodity market volatility that occurred at the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. This amendment addressed the suspension and drilling and completion operations until market conditions recovered and also set the gross well count of the development program at 25. The drilling program (the “Drilling Program”) targets the Wolfcamp and Spraberry formations and Hibernia serves as operator of all Drilling Program wells.

Under the Development Agreement, the Investor funded 85% of our working interest portion of drilling and completion costs to initially earn 85% of our working interest in each new well (in each case, proportionately reduced by other participating working interests in the well). As a result, we paid 15% of our working interest portion of such costs for 15% of our original working interest in the well. Our consolidated financial statements reflect only our working interest share in the productive wells.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

The FDA covers well bore only costs and as such the Investor does not participate in capital expenditures related to the production facilities used in the operation of the jointly drilled wells. As a result, the Investor is charged $1.50 per barrel for their proportionate share of production running through the facilities. The Company billed $599 thousand and $1,799 thousand in facility usage recovery for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. The recovery is shown in lease operating expense on the consolidate statements of operations.

On June 27, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the FDA. The key adjustments included in this amendment related to resumption of completion operations and how the capital for these operations would be funded. This amendment set forth that the Company will fund 100% of completion capital expenditures for the 10 uncompleted wells and the ownership in these wells were amended based on expected total drilling and completion capital expenditures.

By December 31, 2020, Hibernia had drilled and completed all 25 gross wells under the Development Agreement.

On August 31, 2022, the Investor achieved the target internal rate of return and multiple of invested capital in excess of hurdle rates for its investment for all wells, therefore the Investor’s working interest reverted from Initial Working interest to 0% working interest and the Company’s working interest increased by the amount of the Investors decrease. There are no further obligations related to this FDA.

Commodity Risk Management

The Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to risks associated with the volatility of oil and gas prices. The Company, with the approval of the board of directors, has established a hedging program to hedge its expected oil and gas revenue against price volatility.

Hedging transactions may take the form of collars, swaps, options or other derivatives indexed to NYMEX or other commodity price indexes. At December 31, 2022, the Company had contracts consisting of swaps and options. Such derivative contracts do not exceed anticipated production volumes, are expected to have a reasonable correlation between price movements in the futures market and the spot markets where the Company’s production is marketed. Derivatives are expected to be closed as related production occurs but may be closed earlier if anticipated downward price movement occurs or if the Company believes the potential for such movement has abated. 

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of commodity derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet totaled $29,499 thousand as a net liability, of which $10,098 thousand was classified as current assets, $253 thousand was classified as noncurrent assets, $26,558 thousand was classified as current liabilities and $13,292 thousand was classified as noncurrent liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of commodity derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet totaled $58,588 thousand as a net liability, of which none was classified as current or noncurrent assets and $37,544 thousand was classified as current liabilities and $21,044 thousand was classified as noncurrent liabilities.

Members’ Equity

The Company’s operations are governed by the provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (LLC Agreement). Pursuant with the terms of the LLC Agreement there are two classes of membership interests, Class A Units and Class B Units. Distributions are first made to the holders of Class A Units pro rata in accordance with their membership interests. Once the holders of Class A Units receive a specified level of cumulative cash distributions, the holders of Class B Units receive a percentage of distributions allocable to the vested amount of Class B Units held. For the year ended December 31, 2022, total cash distributions were paid in the amount of $238,515 thousand.

Class A Units – Contributed Capital

Class A units represent interests held by investors who have contributed cash to the Company. Pursuant with the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Company is authorized to issue as many Class A Units as needed up to the committed amounts, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

The holders of Class A Units will (i) share in each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, (ii) are entitled to participate in distributions, and (iii) are entitled to other voting and participating rights. For the year ended December 31, 2022 and the year-ended December 31, 2021, holders of Class A Units had reached the full commitment amount.

Class B Units – Incentive Units

Cash B Units represent incentive units issued to certain employees. Forty percent of Class B Units vest ratably over five years or earlier upon a monetization event (change in ownership, liquidation or dissolution). The remaining sixty percent of Class B Units vest upon specified levels of cumulative cash distributions to the holders of Class A Units and vested holders of Class B Units being met. All vested and unvested Class B Units will be forfeited if a unit holder’s employment is terminated for cause or the unit holder resigns prior to completion of their service arrangement. If the unit holder’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or the unit holder resigns upon completion of the service requirement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase all of the vested Class B Units.

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2022 and 2021

The Class B Units award the member a right to receive profits interest while employed and the right to receive residual equity interest upon a monetization event. The right to receive profits interests while employed is accounted for under ASC Topic 710, Compensation – general, whereas the right to receive residual equity upon a monetization event is accounted for as a liability award under ASC Topic 718, Compensation – stock compensation. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no payments were made in respect of the Class B Units and no incentive compensation was recognized because the payment conditions leading to expected future benefits, which relate to a monetization event, as well as distributions, are not probable of occurring. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 940 and 940 Class B Units granted and outstanding, respectively.

Advances on Units

On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into Promissory Notes with several members of the organization for purposes of accelerating the noteholders expected future receipt of funds distributed by the Company. The Notes will advance funds to the Noteholders during the first $400 million dollars of distribution by the Company in a principal amount equal to 5% of the first one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) of gross distributions and 3.33% of the next three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) of gross distributions. The Notes shall become due and payable at the earliest of the maturity date of September 23, 2029, the sale/merger/IPO of the Company, or the day a Noteholder is no longer employed by the Company. The Notes shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the annual long-term Applicable Federal Rate.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had issued $9,995 thousand in promissory notes to members of the organization, through distributions in September and December 2022. Based on the valuation of the underlying equity that secured these notes at the time of issuance, the Company recorded $9,883 thousand related to these notes to equity, with the remaining $112 thousand being recorded as compensation costs.

Leases

A lease provides the lessee the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets and finance lease right-of-use assets (collectively “ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities (collectively, “lease liabilities”) represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company excludes short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months or less from ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The Company has leases for its office spaces and certain equipment. Most operating leases contain renewal options that provide for rent increases based on prevailing market conditions. The Company has lease extension terms for our office spaces that have either been extended or are likely to be extended. The terms used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities for these properties include the renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

The discount rate used to determine the commencement date present value of lease payments is the risk- free rate. ROU assets include any lease payments required to be made prior to commencement and exclude lease incentives. Both ROU assets and lease liabilities exclude variable payments not based on an index or rate, which are treated as period costs. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain significant residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.

Total operating lease costs were approximately $2,848 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. Short-term lease costs, for leases with terms of less than 12 months, during 2022 were approximately $10 thousand. Maturities of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

(13) Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)

Net Proved Oil, NGL and Natural Gas Reserves

The reserve estimates presented below were made in accordance with GAAP requirements for disclosures about oil and gas producing activities and SEC rules for oil and gas reporting of reserve estimation and disclosure.

Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil, gas, and NGLs which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, 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, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined, and the price to be used is the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of- the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. All of the Company estimated proved reserves are located in the United States.

The tables below present a summary of changes in the Company’s estimated proved reserves for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The Company computes a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Future cash inflows and production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated future reserve quantities. Each property the Company operates is also charged with field-level overhead in the estimated reserve calculation. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a 10 percent annual discount factor.

Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the estimated proved reserves in place at the end of the period using year end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, plus Company overhead incurred by the central administrative office attributable to operating activities and estimated abandonment costs.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value amount. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. The following prices as adjusted for transportation, quality, and basis differentials were used in the calculation of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows:

	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
Oil (per Bbl)	$	94.49	$	64.50
Gas (per Mcf)	$	4.98	$	3.04
NGLs (per Bbl)	$	48.67	$	24.14

Formation and Operations of the Company

Effective May 31st, the Members, Hibernia Energy III, LLC (“HE3”) and Hibernia Energy III Holdings (“HE3 Holdings”), LLC entered into a Board-approved Contribution Agreement that stated all Members shall irrevocably contribute all HE3 interests to HE3 Holdings, and cease to own any limited liability company interests in HE3. As a result, HE3 Holdings will be the sole member of HE3.

Basis of Presentation

(a)

Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include all adjustments and accruals, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(b)

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ("ASU 2016-13") which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. It requires a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ("ASC 326") using the prospective transition approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair value of Financial Instruments

•

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

•

Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than Level 1 that are based upon quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, based upon quoted prices within inactive markets, or inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable through market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. The Company develops unobservable inputs using the best information available in the circumstance, which might include the Company’s own data.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as December 31, 2022:

Commodity Derivative Instruments

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

Fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are based on third-party pricing models which utilize inputs that are either readily available in the public market, such as forward curves, or can be corroborated from active markets of broker quotes. Future prices generally have observable inputs and are classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy defined in ASC Topic 820. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company believes that substantially all the inputs required to calculate the fair value of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids futures prices are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of these derivative instruments or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace, and are, therefore, classified as Level 2. Significant changes in the quoted forward prices for commodities and changes in market volatility generally lead to corresponding changes in the fair value measurement of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments.

Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the right of offset exists and certain other criteria are met, derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty are netted on the balance sheet against derivative assets and derivative liabilities, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any commodity derivative instruments.

Acquisitions

The Company regularly seeks to acquire or trade for acreage that complements its operations, provides exploration and development opportunities, increases the lateral length of future horizontal wells and provides superior returns on investments.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company closed on acquisitions and trades of proved and unproved leasehold located in Reagan County in Texas from various parties in exchange for cash consideration of $7.98 million. The acquisitions were funded through a combination of draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility and cashflow from operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company closed on the acquisition of certain proved leasehold located in Reagan County in Texas from Arroyo Energy Fund, LP and Arroyo Energy Fund II, LP, Fox Management LLC, Charles R Qualia and parties related to the McAlpine/Sharp et al working interests in exchange for cash consideration of $15.57 million. The acquisitions were funded through a combination of draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility and cashflow from operations.

The Company accounted for these transactions as acquisitions of assets, with total aggregate consideration paid plus transaction costs paid being allocated to each of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis.

(6)

Credit Facility

The Company maintains a revolving corporate credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions and has aggregate loan commitments of $600 million. The credit facility has a maturity date of November 24, 2025. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $310 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at June 30, 2023 was 8.47%. At June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants.

Commodity Risk Management

HIBERNIA ENERGY III, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

Hedging transactions may take the form of collars, swaps, options or other derivatives indexed to NYMEX or other commodity price indexes. At June 30, 2023 the Company did not hold any open contracts. At December 31, 2022, the Company had contracts consisting of swaps and options. Such derivative contracts did not exceed anticipated production volumes, and had a reasonable correlation between price movements in the futures market and the spot markets where the Company’s production was marketed. Derivatives are expected to be closed as related production occurs but may be closed earlier if anticipated downward price movement occurs or if the Company believes the potential for such movement has abated.

The effect of derivatives on the consolidated statement of operations was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
		(In thousands)
Cash received (paid) in settlement of commodity derivatives	$	22,910	$	(69,552	)

	$	52,410	$	(150,277	)

Members’ Equity

The Company’s operations are governed by the provisions of the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (LLC Agreement). Pursuant with the terms of the LLC Agreement there are two classes of membership interests, Class A Units and Class B Units. Distributions are first made to the holders of Class A Units pro rata in accordance with their membership interests. Once the holders of Class A Units receive a specified level of cumulative cash distributions, the holders of Class B Units receive a percentage of distributions allocable to the vested amount of Class B Units held. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, total cash distributions were paid in the amount of $59,296 thousand and $0 thousand, respectively.

Class A Units – Contributed Capital

The holders of Class A Units will (i) share in each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, (ii) are entitled to participate in distributions, and (iii) are entitled to other voting and participating rights. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, holders of Class A Units had reached the full commitment amount.

Class B Units – Incentive Units

The Class B Units award the member a right to receive profits interest while employed and the right to receive residual equity interest upon a monetization event. The right to receive profits interests while employed is accounted for under ASC Topic 710, Compensation – general, whereas the right to receive residual equity upon a monetization event is accounted for as a liability award under ASC Topic 718, Compensation – stock compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no payments were made in respect of the Class B Units and no incentive compensation was recognized because the payment conditions leading to expected future benefits, which relate to a monetization event, as well as distributions, are not probable of occurring. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were 940 Class B Units granted and outstanding.

Advances on Units

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued an additional $1,166 thousand and $0 thousand, respectively in promissory notes to members of the organization through distributions. The value related to these notes are recorded to equity.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Managers

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC, (the Company) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

On June 20, 2023, Civitas Resources, Inc. (“Civitas”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“MIPA”) with Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC (“the Company”). The MIPA closed on August 2, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023. Tap Rock Resources, LLC created the Company for purposes of the sale. The purpose of the creation of the Company was to carve-out the oil and gas properties and related net assets being purchased by Civitas into the Company. Civitas agreed to purchase the Company for a cash consideration of $753.1 million and 6,796,866 shares of common equity, before purchase price adjustments. Civitas also agreed to purchase Tap Rock NM10 Legacy Holdings, LLC for $88.8 million in cash consideration and 801,256 shares of common equity, before purchase price adjustments.

Tap Rock Resources, LLC (“Tap Rock Resources” or “Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tap Rock Holdings, LLC, Tap Rock Operating, LLC, Tap Rock Midstream, LLC, and Tap Rock Minerals, LP are Delaware Limited Liability Companies and a Delaware Limited Partnership, respectively. In addition, the Company has a consolidated subsidiary, Tap Rock NM10 Minerals, LLC (“NM10”), which is a Delaware Limited Liability Company. Tap Rock Resources was founded in September of 2016 with an equity contribution from Natural Gas Partners XI, L.P and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico and Pecos and Reeves Counties in Texas.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) were prepared for the purpose of reflecting historical net assets along with operations that were transferred into the Company that Civitas is purchasing through the MIPA. The Company consolidates NM10 due to its status as a variable interest entity. See Note 12 – Variable Interest Entities for more information. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and cash flows of the sold assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years then ended are representative of the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s net assets have historically operated as part of Tap Rock Resources and not as a standalone entity. The accompanying financial statements represent the historical operations of certain acquired oil and gas properties and related net assets of Tap Rock Resources and have been derived from Tap Rock Resource’s historical accounting records. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1-B. These rules require allocation of certain general costs for salaries and benefits, depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”), rent, accounting, legal services, and other expenses.

The Company has allocated certain of Tap Rock Resources’ general and administrative and depletion expenses within the financial statements as they are a function of overall operations. These expenses have been allocated using a ratio of oil and gas volumes produced by the Company to the total oil and gas volumes produced by all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In March 2022, incentive units previously granted to Tap Rock Resources employees were modified to allow employees to retain incentive units upon voluntary resignation under a 10-year, quarterly vesting period. This modification, in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, caused Tap Rock to begin recognizing stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards determined at the time of modification quarterly, ratably over the 10-year vesting period. As the services rendered by employees, for which the units were granted, relate to both assets carved-out to the Company and retained by Tap Rock Resources, noncash stock compensation expense has been allocated using a ratio of oil and gas volumes produced by the Company to the total oil and gas volumes produced by all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Tap Rock Resources uses over-the-counter swaps and collar agreements to manage the commodity price risk associated with forecasted sale of its crude, natural gas, and NGL production, including production on the properties within the Company. Because the operations and properties of the Company benefited from the hedging protection provided by these derivatives, Management determined that both unrealized and realized gains and losses should be allocated to the Company by utilizing production volumes for each respective commodity (i.e., oil, gas, NGLs) in the Company to the total production volumes for each commodity of all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources.

Tap Rock Resources is the legal obligor of a Credit Facility and Bonds Payable that are used to help finance capital spend and acquisitions, including for properties within the Company. Due to the Company benefitting from the financing that these debt instruments provided for capital additions and acquisitions, and because borrowings and/or repayments from debt are primarily driven by capital spend rather than production, interest expense and loan cost amortization related to these debt instruments have been allocated to the Company using a ratio of capital additions and acquisitions of the Company to the total capital additions and acquisitions of all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources.

The Parent’s net investment in the consolidated balance sheets represents Tap Rock Resources’ historical net investment in the Company resulting from various transactions with and allocations from the Parent. Balances due to and due from the Parent and accumulated earnings attributable to the Company’s operations have been presented as components of Parent investment. Tap Rock Resources uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions related to the Company are accounted for through the parent investment account. Accordingly, cash, cash equivalents and debt at Tap Rock Resources have not been included within these financial statements. The cash generated by the Company’s operations and expenses paid by the Parent on its behalf are reflected as a net change in Parent investment in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Management believes the allocation methodologies used are reasonable and result in an allocation of the cost of doing business borne by Tap Rock Resources on behalf of the Company. However, amounts recognized by the Company are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company operated independently of Tap Rock Resources. These allocations may not be indicative of the cost of future operations or the amount of future allocations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) and include the assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIE) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include (1) cash flow estimates used in the ceiling test for oil and natural gas properties; (2) volumes of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid (NGL) reserves used in calculating DD&A expense; (3) asset retirement obligations; (4) accrued oil, natural gas, and NGL sales and other receivables; and (5) fair values of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less. The cash presented on the consolidated balance sheets is attributable to NM10. Tap Rock Resources uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. These arrangements are not reflective of the manner in which the business would have financed its operations had it been a standalone entity separate from Tap Rock Resources during the periods presented. Cash pooling, related interest, and intercompany arrangements are excluded from the asset and liability balances in the consolidated balance sheets. These amounts have instead been reported as Net parent investment as a component of Equity.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records estimated oil, natural gas, and NGL revenue receivable from third parties at its net revenue interest. For receivables due from working interest owners, the Company generally has the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover non-payment of working interest billings. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable amounts for collectability. At both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable was $0.1 million. Generally, the Company’s oil, natural gas, and NGL receivables are collected within 30 to 90 days. The Company monitors the credit quality of its counterparties through review of collections, credit ratings, and other analyses. The Company develops its estimated allowance for expected credit losses primarily using an aging method and analyses of historical loss rates as well as consideration of current and future conditions that could impact its counterparties’ credit quality and liquidity. The Company did not record credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Although diversified among many purchasers, collectability is dependent upon the financial wherewithal of each individual company and is influenced by the general economic conditions of the industry. Receivables are not collateralized.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the accounts receivable balance includes (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2022		2021
Trade Accounts Receivable
Oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues	$	83,658	$	114,419
Amounts due from working interest owners		32,462		14,707
Trade Accounts Receivable, net	$	116,120	$	129,126

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Accounts receivable, affiliate, relates to reimbursements from Tap Rock Resources II, LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The reimbursements relate primarily to billable costs paid by the Company on behalf of Tap Rock Resources II.

Proved Oil and Natural Gas Properties, including Ceiling Test

The Company’s oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are accounted for using the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the SEC Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas. Under this method, all property acquisition, direct geophysical and geological costs, and costs of drilling exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred as oil and natural gas properties.

The carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties also includes estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation when incurred. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil, natural gas, and NGLs attributable to a country.

Producing properties, including associated infrastructure and capitalized asset retirement costs for Tap Rock Resources, are depleted on a country basis using the units-of-production method based on estimated total proved reserves. Depletion was allocated to the Company using a ratio of oil and gas volumes produced by the Company to the total oil and gas volumes produced by all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources.

The Company reviews its oil and natural gas properties for impairment via a ceiling test annually. Impairment is deemed to have occurred when the carrying value of the properties exceeds the full cost ceiling, which is estimated at the present value of future cash flows from proved reserves, discounted at 10 percent, using a 12-month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month, adjusted for realized hedge proceeds plus costs excluded from amortization. In such circumstances the cost of the property (full cost pool) is written down to the ceiling.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized no write-down of oil and natural gas properties as a result of the full cost ceiling test.

Unevaluated Properties

The costs of unevaluated properties are withheld from the depletion base until such time as the properties are either developed or impaired. Unevaluated properties are carried at cost and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely loss of the right of use of those assets or at least annually. In determining whether a significant unevaluated property is impaired, the Company considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, current exploration plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on adjacent leaseholds, in-house geologists’ evaluations of the lease, and the remaining lease term. If an unevaluated property is impaired, the Company will add the costs to the asset pool and depletion will begin. Capitalized costs of unevaluated properties are reclassified as developed properties when the associated acreage is developed through the drilling and completion of wells or added to the full cost pool when impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company impaired, and therefore added to the depletable base, $0.6 million related to the expirations of leases. There were no impairments for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Other Property

Other property consists of land and surface rights and yard inventory. The Company evaluates its other property for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. Useful lives are determined based on the shorter of the life of the asset or the reserves serviced by the equipment.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs include origination, legal, engineering, and other fees incurred to issue the debt in connection with NM10’s term loan. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the debt. See Note 9 – Long-Term Debt for information regarding the term loan. Loan cost amortization related to Tap Rock Resources’ credit facility and bonds payable are allocated to the Company using a ratio of capital additions and acquisitions of the Company to the total capital additions and acquisitions of all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources.

Acquisitions of Proved and Unevaluated Properties

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed under transactions that do not meet the criteria of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition and are recorded based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred on the acquisition date using the lowest observable inputs available. Acquisitions that qualify as business combinations are recorded based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which is considered the date on which the Company obtains control of the properties. The 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. Fair value measurements utilize assumptions of market participants and the Company’s valuations are made using a discounted cash flow model based on an income approach and market assumptions such as: (1) future commodity prices, (2) projections of estimated quantities of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves, (3) expectations for timing and amount of future development and operating costs, (4) projections of future rates of production, (5) expected recovery rates, (6) estimated costs for undeveloped acreage and (7) market participant discount rates.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning oil and natural gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning such land to its original condition. The initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is recognized as a liability with an associated increase in oil and natural gas properties for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from changes of estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs, and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As a full cost company, settlements for asset retirement obligations for abandonment are adjusted to the full cost pool. See Note 6 – Asset Retirement Obligations for a summary of the Company’s ARO balance.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

NM10 uses commodity derivative instruments to reduce the effect of price changes on a portion of NM10’s future oil and natural gas sales. The derivative instruments include commodity price swaps and basis differential swaps. NM10’s commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as commodity derivative assets and commodity derivative liabilities and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of expected future cash flows of settlement of individual trades. NM10 has not designated any of the derivative contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges. Net gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments are recorded based on the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments. NM10’s net gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments are recorded in the commodity derivative loss, net line on the consolidated statements of operations and included in cash flows from operating activities. Both unrealized and realized gains and losses related to derivative instruments owned by Tap Rock Resources are allocated by utilizing production volumes for each respective commodity (i.e., oil, gas, NGLs) of the Company to the total production volumes for each commodity of all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests in the accompanying financial statements represent minority interest ownership in NM10 and are presented as a component of equity. NM10 was created by NGP to acquire mineral interests. The Company identified NM10 as a Variable Interest Entity, with the Company as the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Tap Rock Resources held a 60% interest in NM10. The Company, post divisive merger, acts as the manager of NM10 and is responsible for managing, directing, and controlling the overall operations.

Oil, Natural Gas, and NGL Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of produced oil, natural gas, and NGLs. Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligations under the sales contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs at the point in time at which control of the oil, natural gas, or NGLs transfers to the customer, which differs depending on the contractual terms of each of the Company’s arrangements. Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue accruals are recorded monthly and are based on estimated production delivered to a purchaser and the expected price to be received. Variances between estimates and the actual amounts received are recorded in the month payment is received.

Deferred Revenue

Tap Rock Resources received a one-time payment of $60 million and a subsequent payment of $3.1 million in cash from Salt Creek Midstream (“SCM”) in September of 2018 and November of 2018 respectively. The cash was related to the dedication of acreage to SCM’s gas gathering system. The acreage dedicated to SCM, and assets associated with the acreage, are a part of the Company and therefore are included in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, in 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company received $1.0 million and $2.5 million in cash for completing wells under the agreement with SCM that were ready to be connected to SCM’s pipeline. The Company is recognizing the revenue ratably over the 15-year contract.

Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes by the Internal Revenue Service. A partnership is not a tax-paying entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Income, losses, deductions and credits pass through proportionately to the Company’s members and are taxed at each members’ income tax rate. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the Company’s financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements and additional practical expedient options (collectively “ASU 2016-02”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. The Company elected as part of its adoption to also use the optional transition methodology whereby lease accounting for previously reported periods continues to be reported in accordance with historical accounting guidance for leases in effect for those prior periods. Policy elections and practical expedients the Company implemented in connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 include (a) excluding from the balance sheet leases with terms that are less than one year, (b) the package of practical expedients, which among other requirements, allows the Company to avoid reassessing contracts that commenced prior to adoption that were properly evaluated under legacy GAAP, and (c) excluding land easements that existed or expired before adoption of ASU 2016-02. The scope of ASU 2016-02 does not apply to leases used in the exploration or use of minerals, oil, natural gas, or other similar non-regenerative resources.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Upon adoption on January 1, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $2.1 million in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related lease liabilities for its operating leases with terms greater than 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any agreements in place that were classified as finance leases. Arrangements classified as operating leases are included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within the other long-term assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities line items. Aside from the recognition of ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets, the adoption of ASC 842 does not have a material impact on the timing or classification of costs incurred for those agreements considered to be leases in comparison to guidance under previous ASC 840.

As outlined in ASC 842, a ROU asset represents a lessee’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while the associated lease liability represents the lessee’s obligations to make lease payments. At the commencement date, which is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee, a lease ROU asset and corresponding lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments.

The Company evaluates a contractual arrangement at its inception to determine if it is a lease or contains an identifiable lease component. When evaluating a contract to determine appropriate classification and recognition, significant judgment may be necessary to determine, among other criteria, if an embedded leasing arrangement exists, the length of the term, classification as either an operating or financing lease, which options are reasonably likely to be exercised, fair value of the underlying ROU asset or assets, upfront costs, and future lease payments that are included or excluded in the initial measurement of the ROU asset. Certain assumptions and judgments made by the Company when evaluating a contract that meets the definition of a lease include:

Discount Rate - Unless implicitly defined, the Company determines the present value of future lease payments using an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on average borrowing rates of the Company.

Lease Term - The Company evaluates each contract containing a lease arrangement at inception to determine the length of the lease term when recognizing a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. When determining the lease term, options available to extend or early terminate the arrangement are evaluated and included when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. Because of the Company’s intent to maintain financial and operational flexibility, there are no available options to extend that the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise. Additionally, based on expectations for those agreements with early termination options, there are no leases in which early termination options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Subsequent to initial measurement, costs associated with the Company’s operating leases are either expensed or capitalized depending on how the underlying ROU asset is utilized and in accordance with GAAP requirements. When calculating the Company’s ROU asset and liability for a contractual arrangement that qualifies as an operating lease, the Company considers all of the necessary payments made or that are expected to be made upon commencement of the lease. Excluded from the initial measurement are certain variable lease payments, which for the Company’s drilling rigs and equipment rental agreements, may be a significant component of the total lease costs.

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had operating leases for drilling rigs and equipment rentals used in field operations. For those operating leases included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, which only includes leases with terms greater than 12 months at commencement, remaining lease terms range from less than two years to less than three years. The weighted-average lease term remaining for these leases is 2.1 years. An early termination option also exists for certain leases, some of which allow for the Company to terminate a lease within one year. Exercising an early termination option may also result in an early termination penalty depending on the terms of the underlying agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, payments made for leases with initial lease terms greater than 12 months and short-term leases, were $19.5 million. This total does not reflect amounts that may be reimbursed by other third-parties in the normal course of business, such as non-operating working interest owners. Operating lease costs were $0.9 million and short-term lease costs were $18.6 million. Operating cash flows from operating leases included in the measurement of lease liabilities were $0.7 million.

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2022, were as follows (in thousands):

	As of December 31, 2022
2023		1,185
2024		816
2025		250
Total lease payments	$	2,251
Less: Imputed Interest ⁽¹⁾		(115	)

Contracts with Customers

Oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues

The Company recognizes its share of revenue from the sale of produced oil, natural gas, and NGLs from its assets in Eddy and Lea Counties in New Mexico and Pecos and Reeves Counties in Texas. Oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is reflective of the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The table below presents the oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue by product type for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
Oil Production Revenue	$	851,929	$	599,935
Gas Production Revenue		100,251		34,078
NGL Production Revenue		112,627		66,264
Deferred Revenue Recognition (SCM)		4,501		4,501
Total	$	1,069,308	$	704,778

Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligations under the sales contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs at the point in time at which control of the oil, natural gas, or NGLs transfers to the customer, which differs depending on the contractual terms of each of the Company’s arrangements. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation, processing, and gathering expenses (“fees and other deductions”) within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Fees and other deductions incurred by the Company prior to control transfer are recorded within the transportation, processing, and gathering expenses line item on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. When control is transferred at or near the wellhead, sales are based on a wellhead market price that is impacted by fees and other deductions incurred by the purchaser subsequent to the transfer of control.

The Company’s performance obligations arise upon the production of hydrocarbons from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied upon control transferring to a purchaser at the wellhead or inlet of the midstream processor’s processing facility, or other contractually specified delivery point. The time period between production and satisfaction of performance obligations is generally less than one day; thus, there are no material unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period.

Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $83.7 million and $114.4 million, respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties and historical performance factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser.

Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and commodity derivative instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had two and three customers, respectively, each exceeding 10% of total oil, natural gas, and NGL sales. The Company does not believe the loss of any single customer would materially impact its operating results because oil, natural gas, and NGLs are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers. The Company continually monitors the receipt of funds and the general business activities of current customers and other purchasers in the areas of its operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022, NM10 had commodity derivative contracts with one counterparty. By using derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange, NM10 is exposed to the credit risk from counterparties. Credit risk is the risk of loss from counterparties not performing under the terms of the derivative instrument. NM10 does not require collateral or other security from counterparties to support derivative instruments; however it is NM10’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent. NM10’s counterparties all have investment grade senior unsecured debt ratings. Additionally, NM10 uses master netting agreements to minimize credit risk exposure. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, NM10 did not incur any credit losses.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between independent and knowledgeable parties who are willing and able to transact for an asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value and then ranks the estimated values based on the reliability of the inputs used following the fair value hierarchy.

The three input levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurements are as follows:

Input Level		Description of Input
Level 1		Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions of the Company with regard to what assumptions a market participant would use to price an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. The guidance requires the evaluator to maximize the use of observable inputs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s recurring fair value instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued oil, natural gas, and NGL receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, debt, and commodity derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s carrying value of the term loan balance approximates fair value (Level 2 measurement).

Commodity derivative contracts are marked-to-market each quarter and are thus stated at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and in Note 8 – Commodity Derivative Instruments. The fair values of NM10’s commodity derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements as they are calculated using industry standard models using assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include market price curves, quoted market prices in active markets, credit risk adjustments, implied market volatility, and discount factors.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value to its nonrecurring, nonfinancial measurements including business combinations and asset retirement obligations. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value only in certain circumstances and are not subject to recurring valuations. Given the unobservable nature of these inputs, they are deemed to be Level 3. Refer to the fair value measurements for asset retirement obligations in Note 6 – Asset Retirement Obligations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed under transactions that do not meet the criteria of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition and are recorded based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred on the acquisition date using the lowest observable inputs available.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company estimates the fair value of asset retirement obligations at the point they are incurred by calculating the present value of estimated future plugging and abandonment costs. Such present value calculations use cash flow models and include various assumptions (Level 3 inputs) such as estimated amounts and timing of abandonment cash flows, the credit-adjusted risk-free rates and future inflation rates. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs or well economic lives, or if regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells.

Acquisitions

November 2022 Delaware Barley, LLC Acquisition

In November 2022, Tap Rock Resources entered into an agreement with Delaware Barley, LLC for certain working interests in producing properties in Eddy and Lea County, New Mexico (the “Delaware Barley Properties,” and the acquisition thereof, the “Delaware Barley Acquisition”), which included assets that were transferred and were allocated a purchase price of $16.9 million. The sale closed on November 23, 2022, with an effective date of October 1, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805, Business Combinations, which required the acquired assets to be allocated on a relative fair value basis to proved oil, natural gas, and NGL working interests as of the date of acquisition.

November 2022 Delaware Hops, LLC Acquisition

In November 2022, Tap Rock Resources entered into an agreement with Delaware Hops, LLC for certain working interests in producing properties in Eddy and Lea County, New Mexico (the “Delaware Hops Properties,” and the acquisition thereof, the “Delaware Hops Acquisition”) which included assets that were transferred and were allocated a purchase price of $30.5 million. The sale closed on November 23, 2022, with an effective date of October 1, 2022. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805.

There were no individually material acquisitions or divestitures during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Commodity Derivatives Instruments

NM10 uses over-the-counter swaps to manage the commodity price risk associated with forecasted sale of its crude and natural gas production.

Fixed swaps are settled monthly based on differences between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price. When the referenced settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, NM10 receives an amount from the counterparty based on the price difference multiplied by the volume. Similarly, when the referenced settlement price exceeds the price specified in the contract, NM10 pays the counterparty an amount based on the price difference multiplied by the volume.

Fixed price oil basis swaps are entered into in order to mitigate exposure to adverse pricing differentials between certain industry benchmark prices and the actual physical pricing points where NM10’s production volumes are sold. The weighted-average fixed price differential represents the amount of net addition (reduction) to delivery month prices for the notional volumes covered by the swap contracts.

Long-Term Debt

Term Loan

In January 2020, NM10 entered into a loan agreement for a 5-year, $35 million term loan (“Term Loan”). The loan agreement was subsequently amended most recently on April 30, 2021 and is referred to as the Amended Agreement.

The Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to $1.75 million per quarter for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 through January 27, 2025. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by the maturity dates. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total balance outstanding under the Term Loan was $15.8 million and $22.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, $7.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of the Term Loan was classified as a current liability, as these amounts were due within one year from the respective balance sheet dates.

NM10's aggregate scheduled maturities of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2022, are as follows (in thousands):

	Payments Due
2023		7,000
2024		7,000
2025		1,750
Total	$	15,750

Guarantees and Collateral. The indebtedness and other obligations under the Amended Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by NM10 and are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of NM10’s tangible and intangible assets. The creditors have no recourse to the Company’s general credit and the Company does not guarantee NM10’s term loan.

Voluntary Prepayments. NM10 may voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to the payment of customary breakage costs under certain conditions. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan will be applied to the remaining installments thereof as directed by NM10.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Covenants. The Amended Agreement contains customary covenants, including covenants that, under certain circumstances and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions: limit or restrict NM10’s ability to incur additional indebtedness; merge, dissolve, liquidate, or consolidate; make acquisitions, investments, advances or loans; dispose of or transfer assets; pay dividends; redeem or repurchase certain debt; and enter into certain restrictive agreements.

In addition, NM10 is required to maintain (a) a Current Ratio greater than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0. “Current Ratio” is defined as the ratio of Borrower’s (i) current assets, divided by (ii) current liabilities (excluding current maturities of long-term debt); provided, however, that the mark-to-market values for hedging positions shall be excluded from this calculation until such time as the gains or losses from the hedge transactions are actually realized or the hedge transactions expire, and (b) a Leverage Ratio, wherein the total principal amount outstanding divided by EBITAX of less than or equal to 3.5 to 1.0. NM10 was in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Agreement as of December 31, 2022.

Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement accrue interest, at NM10’s option, at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus the LIBOR spread, which ranges from 2.75% to 3.5% depending on the leverage ratio, or (ii) a prime rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0% to 0.75% depending on the leverage ratio. The interest rate floor under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2022 was 4.25%. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, NM10 incurred $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in interest expense.

Carrying Value and Fair Value. The fair value of the Term Loan approximates the carrying value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest, based on prevailing market rates (Level 2 measurement). The fair value is based on observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to NM10 for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt.

10.

Equity

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company distributed $18.8 million and $16.4 million, respectively, back to non-controlling interests. Additionally, there were no contributions received from non-controlling interests during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received less than $0.1 million in contributions from non-controlling interests.

Net Parent Investment

All significant intercompany transactions between the Company and Tap Rock Resources have been included in the financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the consolidated balance sheets as component of Net parent investment.

11.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may at times be subject to possible loss contingencies arising from federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations and third-party litigation. There are no matters pending that in the opinion of the Company will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company as of December 31, 2022.

Variable Interest Entities

In January 2020, Tap Rock Resources obtained a 60% membership interest in NM10 in order for NM10 to purchase certain mineral interests and surface acreage in Lea County, New Mexico. The remaining 40% of NM10 is owned by Tap Rock NM10 Holdings, LLC (“NM10 Holdings”), which is owned 97% by NGP XI Minerals Holdings, LLC and 3% by Tap Rock Resources management and other investors. In the LLC agreement for NM10, Tap Rock Resources was appointed as Managing Member. As Managing Member, Tap Rock Resources has full and complete authority, power, and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs, and properties of NM10, to make all determinations regarding those matters, and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of NM10’s business. NM10’s creditors have no recourse to Tap Rock Resources’ general credit and Tap Rock Resources does not guarantee NM10’s term loan. Through the divisive merger, the 60% membership interest in NM10 transferred to the Company.

The Company has determined that NM10 is a VIE as they are the primary beneficiary. The Company retains 100% of the voting rights given its Managing Member status, which causes a disproportion between voting rights and economics in NM10. Further, all investors involved (the Company and NM10 Holdings) are related parties. As such, substantially all of NM10’s activities are conducted on behalf of the Company and its related party NM10 Holdings. Due to this, NM10 is structured with non-substantive voting rights, one of the criteria that, if met, indicates that an entity is a VIE. As the Company has both the power and the benefits, it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As the Company is the primary beneficiary, NM10 is consolidated in the financial statements presented herein. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and NM10 are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

13.

Subsequent Events

In February and March 2023, the Company distributed a total of $3.1 million back to non-controlling interests.

On June 20, 2023, Civitas entered into a purchase agreement to purchase the Company and all of their interests in certain oil and gas properties and related net assets for cash consideration of $841.8 million and 7,598,122 shares of common equity, before purchase price adjustments. The closing with the Company occurred on August 2, 2023 with the effective date of July 1, 2023 and included $57.8 million in upward purchase price adjustments. Final post-close adjustments will be settled in December 2023.

Cash from the closing on August 2, 2023, was used to pay off the remainder of NM10’s Term Loan and the outstanding interest in the amount of $12.3 million.

NM10 closed out all their open commodity derivatives as of July 31, 2023. The resulting impact was a loss of $3.4 million.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company, management has evaluated all subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through August 31, 2023, the date the consolidated financial statements of the Company were available for issuance and concluded there were no other material subsequent events other than as described above.

Net Proved Oil, NGL and Natural Gas Reserves

Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil, gas, and NGLs which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, 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, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined, and the price to be used is the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. All of the Company’s estimated proved reserves are located in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) were prepared for the purpose of reflecting historical net assets along with operations that were transferred into the Company that Civitas is purchasing through the MIPA. The Company consolidates NM10 due to its status as a variable interest entity. See Note 9 – Variable Interest Entities for more information. The assets and liabilities of the sold assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the revenues and expenses and cash flows of the sold assets for the years ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 are representative of the Company.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2022 consolidated financial statements and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report. These unaudited consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) should be read in conjunction with the 2022 consolidated financial statements.

3.	Contracts with Customers

Oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues

The Company recognizes its share of revenue from the sale of produced oil, natural gas, and NGLs from its assets in Eddy and Lea Counties in New Mexico and Pecos and Reeves Counties in Texas. Oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is reflective of the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The table below presents the oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue by product type for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Oil Production Revenue	$	282,349	$	460,783
Gas Production Revenue		3,042		45,188
NGL Production Revenue		45,353		61,479
Deferred Revenue Recognition (SCM)		2,251		2,251
Total	$	332,995	$	569,701

Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $57.3 million and $83.7 million, respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties and historical performance factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser.

4.	Fair Value Measurements

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The three input levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurements are as follows:

Input Level	Description of Input
Level 1	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3	Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Commodity derivative contracts are marked-to-market each quarter and are thus stated at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and in Note 5 – Commodity Derivative Instruments. The fair values of NM10’s commodity derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements as they are calculated using industry standard models using assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include market price curves, quoted market prices in active markets, credit risk adjustments, implied market volatility, and discount factors.

The following table presents NM10’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets:
Commodity derivative assets	$	-	$	354	$	-	$	354
Financial liabilities:
Commodity derivative liabilities	$	-	$	3,803	$	-	$	3,803

Commodity derivative assets	$	-	$	551	$	-	$	551
Financial liabilities:
Commodity derivative liabilities	$	-	$	10,796	$	-	$	10,796

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value to its nonrecurring, nonfinancial measurements including business combinations and asset retirement obligations. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value only in certain circumstances and are not subject to recurring valuations. Given the unobservable nature of these inputs, they are deemed to be Level 3. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed under transactions that do not meet the criteria of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition and are recorded based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred on the acquisition date using the lowest observable inputs available.

5.	Commodity Derivatives Instruments

NM10 uses over-the-counter swaps to manage the commodity price risk associated with forecasted sale of its crude and natural gas production.

Below is a summary of NM10’s open fixed swap positions as of June 30, 2023:

	2023

The following table summarizes the Company’s net loss on commodity derivative instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands), which was allocated unrealized and realized gains (losses) by utilizing production volumes for each respective commodity (i.e., oil, gas, NGLs) in the Company to the total production volumes for each commodity of all properties owned by Tap Rock Resources. NM10’s unrealized and realized gains and (losses) are also included below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Unrealized derivative gain (loss)	$	36,990		$	(58,391	)
Realized derivative loss		(1,698	)		(211,324	)
Commodity derivative loss, net	$	35,292		$	(269,715	)

6.	Long-Term Debt

Term Loan

The Term Loan amortizes in an amount equal to $1.75 million per quarter for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2021 through January 27, 2025. Any unpaid amounts must be repaid by the maturity dates. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total balance outstanding under the Term Loan was $12.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $7.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of the Term Loan was classified as a current liability, as these amounts were due within one year from the respective balance sheet dates.

NM10's aggregate scheduled maturities of the Term Loan as of December 31, 2022, are as follows (in thousands):

	Payments Due
2023		3,500
2024		7,000
2025		1,750
Total	$	12,250

Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Interest Rates and Fees. Outstanding borrowings under the Amended Agreement accrue interest, at NM10’s option, at a per annum rate of (i) LIBOR plus the LIBOR spread, which ranges from 2.75% to 3.5% depending on the leverage ratio, or (ii) a prime rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0% to 0.75% depending on the leverage ratio. The interest rate floor under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2022 was 4.25%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, NM10 incurred $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in interest expense.

Carrying Value and Fair Value. The fair value of the Term Loan approximates the carrying value as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 because the debt bears interest at a floating rate of interest, based on prevailing market rates (Level 2 measurement). The fair value is based on observable inputs of interest rates that are currently available to NM10 for debt with similar terms and maturities for non-public debt.

7.	Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company distributed $3.1 million and $11.1 million, respectively, back to non-controlling interests. There were no contributions received from non-controlling interests during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Subsequent Events

On June 20, 2023, Civitas entered into a purchase agreement with the Company to purchase all of their interest in certain oil and gas properties and related net assets for cash consideration of $841.8 million and 7,598,122 shares of common equity, before purchase price adjustments. The closing with the Company occurred on August 2, 2023 with the effective date of July 1, 2023 and included $57.8 million in upward purchase price adjustments. Final post-close adjustments will be settled in December 2023.

Cash from the closing on August 2, 2023 was used to pay off the remainder of NM10’s Term Loan and the outstanding interest in the amount of $12.3 million.

NM10 closed out all their open commodity derivatives as of July 31, 2023. The resulting impact was a loss of $3.4 million.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Managers

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Tap Rock Resources II, LLC, (the Company) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

Organization and Nature of Business

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tap Rock Holdings II, LLC, and Tap Rock Minerals II, LLC are Delaware Limited Liability Companies. The Company was founded in December of 2019 with an equity contribution in 2020 from Natural Gas Partners XII, L.P. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico and in Loving county in Texas.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP” or “GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the accompanying financial statements and disclosures. Items subject to such estimates and assumptions include (1) cash flow estimates used in Ceiling test for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid (NGL) properties; (2) volumes of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves used in calculating depletion; (3) evaluation of asset retirement obligations; (4) accrued oil, natural gas, and NGL sales and other receivables; and (5) fair values of derivative instruments. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments, which are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records estimated oil, natural gas, and NGL revenue receivable from third parties at its net revenue interest. The Company’s accounts receivable consists mainly of receivables from oil, natural gas, and NGL purchasers and from working interest partners on properties the Company operates. For receivables due from working interest owners, the Company generally has the ability to withhold future revenue disbursements to recover non-payment of working interest billings. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable amounts for collectability. Generally, the Company’s oil, natural gas, and NGL receivables are collected within 30 to 90 days and the Company has had no bad debts for periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Although diversified among several purchasers, collectability is dependent upon the financial wherewithal of each individual company and is influenced by the general economic conditions of the industry. Receivables are not collateralized.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the accounts receivable balance includes (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
Trade accounts receivable
Oil, natural gas, and NGL revenues	$	33,854	$	10,493

Trade accounts receivable	$	39,643	$	16,791

Inventories

Inventories are primarily comprised of crude oil held in tanks. The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs are determined using the weighted-average cost method. Inventory is included in the Other current assets line item on the consolidated balance sheets.

Proved Oil and Natural Gas Properties, including Ceiling Test

The Company’s oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are accounted for using the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas. Under this method, all property acquisition, direct geophysical and geological costs, and costs of drilling exploratory and development wells are capitalized when incurred as oil and natural gas properties.

The carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties also includes estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation when incurred. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties is not recognized unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil, natural gas and NGLs attributable to a country.

Producing properties, including associated infrastructure and capitalized asset retirement costs, are depleted on a country basis using the units-of-production method based on estimated total proved reserves.

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recognized no write-down of oil and natural gas properties as a result of the full cost ceiling test.

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

Unevaluated Properties

The costs of unevaluated properties are withheld from the full cost pool until such time as the properties are either developed or impaired. Unevaluated properties are carried at cost and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely loss of the right of use of those assets or at least annually. In determining whether a significant unevaluated property is impaired, the Company considers numerous factors including, but not limited to, current exploration plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on adjacent leaseholds, in-house geologists’ evaluations of the lease, and the remaining lease term. If an unevaluated property is impaired, the Company will add the costs to the full cost pool and depletion will begin. Capitalized costs of unevaluated properties are reclassified as developed properties when the associated acreage is developed through the drilling and completion of wells or added to the full cost pool when impaired. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company impaired, and therefore added to the full cost pool, $2.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, related to the expirations of leases.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs include origination, legal, and other fees incurred to issue the debt in connection with the Company’s credit facility. Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the debt. See Note 9 – Long-Term Debt for information regarding the credit facility.

Acquisitions of Proved and Unevaluated Properties

Acquisitions that qualify as business combinations are recorded based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which is considered the date on which the Company obtains control of the properties. The 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. Fair value measurements utilize assumptions of market participants and the Company’s valuations are made using a discounted cash flow model based on an income approach and market assumptions such as: (1) future commodity prices, (2) projections of estimated quantities of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves, (3) expectations for timing and amount of future development and operating costs, (4) projections of future rates of production, (5) expected recovery rates, (6) estimated costs for undeveloped acreage and (7) market participant discount rates.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning oil and natural gas wells, removal of equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning such land to its original condition. The initial estimated retirement obligation of properties is recognized as a liability with an associated increase in oil and natural gas properties for the asset retirement cost. Accretion expense is recognized over the estimated productive life of the related assets. If the fair value of the estimated asset retirement obligation changes, an adjustment is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. Revisions in estimated liabilities can result from revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in service and equipment costs, and changes in the estimated timing of settling asset retirement obligations. As a full cost company, settlements for asset retirement obligations for abandonment are adjusted to the full cost pool. See Note 6 – Asset Retirement Obligations for a summary of the Company’s ARO balance.

Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Company uses commodity derivative instruments to reduce the effect of price changes on a portion of the Company’s future oil and natural gas sales. The derivative instruments include commodity price swaps, basis differential swaps, and price collars. The commodity derivative instruments are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as commodity derivative assets and commodity derivative liabilities and are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of expected future cash flows of settlement of individual trades. The Company has not designated any of the derivative contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges. Net gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments are recorded based on the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments. Net gains and losses on commodity derivative instruments are recorded in the commodity derivative loss, net line on the consolidated statements of operations and included in cash flows from operating activities.

Oil, Natural Gas, and NGL Revenue Recognition

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2022, the Company had incentive units for employees in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered for the Company. The Company records expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, which is based on the estimated fair value of these awards determined at the time of grant and is included within the general and administrative expense line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for forfeitures of incentive units as they occur. Please refer to Note 11 – Employee Share Based Compensation for additional discussion.

Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes by the Internal Revenue Service. A partnership is not a tax-paying entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Income, losses, deductions, and credits pass through proportionately to the Company’s members and are taxed at each members’ income tax rate. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior year have been reclassified to 2022 presentation. The reclassified amounts were not material to the financials.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides temporary optional guidance to companies impacted by the transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The amendment provides certain expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP in order to lessen the potential accounting burden when contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR as a benchmark rate are modified. Furthermore, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. These amendments are effective upon issuance and expire on December 31, 2022. The transition from LIBOR did not have a material impact on interest expense or borrowing activities under the Credit Agreement, or to otherwise have a material adverse impact on the business.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

There are no other ASUs that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures that have been issued but not yet adopted by the Company as of December 31, 2022, or through the issuance of this report.

Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes its share of revenue from the sale of produced oil, natural gas, and NGLs from its assets in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico and Loving county in Texas. Oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is reflective of the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The table below presents the oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue by product type for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2022		2021
Oil Production Revenue	$	285,053	$	58,680
Gas Production Revenue		12,986		1,655
NGL Production Revenue		24,663		4,228
Total	$	322,702	$	64,563

Revenue is recognized when the Company’s performance obligations under the sales contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs at the point in time at which control of the oil, natural gas, or NGLs transfers to the customer, which differs depending on the contractual terms of each of the Company’s arrangements. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation, processing, and gathering expenses (“fees and other deductions”) within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Fees and other deductions incurred by the Company prior to control transfer are recorded within the transportation, processing, and gathering expenses line item on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. When control is transferred at or near the wellhead, sales are based on a wellhead market price that is reduced by fees and other deductions incurred by the purchaser subsequent to the transfer of control.

Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying balance sheets until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers within the accompanying balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, were $33.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties and historical performance factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser.

Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable and commodity derivative instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, although substantially all revenue is attributable to two customers, respectively, the Company does not believe the loss of any single purchaser would materially impact its operating results because oil, natural gas, and NGLs are fungible products with well-established markets and numerous purchasers. Further, the risk related to accounts receivable is mitigated as the short-term nature of the receivables which are paid within 30 to 90 days of the sales month. The Company continually monitors the receipt of funds and the general business activities of current purchasers and other purchasers in the areas of its operations.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had commodity derivative contracts with three counterparties. By using derivative instruments that are not traded on an exchange, the Company is exposed to the credit risk from counterparties. Credit risk is the risk of loss from counterparties not performing under the terms of the derivative instrument. The Company does not require collateral or other security from counterparties to support derivative instruments; however, all derivative counterparties are lenders under the Company’s credit facility. The Company’s counterparties have investment grade senior unsecured debt ratings. Additionally, the Company uses master netting agreements to minimize credit risk exposure. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not record any credit losses.

Fair Value Measurements

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

The three input levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurements are as follows:

Input Level		Description of Input
Level 1		Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3		Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s recurring fair value instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued oil, natural gas, and NGL receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, debt, and commodity derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s carrying value of the credit facility balance approximates fair value (Level 2 measurement).

Commodity derivative contracts are marked-to-market each quarter and are thus stated at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and in Note 8 – Commodity Derivative Instruments. The fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements as they are calculated using industry standard models using assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include market price curves, quoted market prices in active markets, credit risk adjustments, implied market volatility, and discount factors.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets:
Commodity derivative assets	$	-	$	18,250	$	-	$	18,250
Financial liabilities:
Commodity derivative liabilities	$	-	$	16,232	$	-	$	16,232

Financial Assets:
Commodity derivative assets	$	-	$	539	$	-	$	539
Financial liabilities:
Commodity derivative liabilities	$	-	$	7,644	$	-	$	7,644

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies fair value to its nonrecurring, nonfinancial measurements including business combinations. These assets and liabilities are subject to fair value only in certain circumstances and are not subject to recurring valuations. Given the unobservable nature of these inputs, they are deemed to be Level 3. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed under transactions that do not meet the criteria of a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition and are recorded based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred on the acquisition date using the lowest observable inputs available.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company estimates the fair value of asset retirement obligations at the point they are incurred by calculating the present value of estimated future plugging and abandonment costs. The calculation includes estimated amounts and timing of abandonment cash flows, the credit-adjusted risk-free rate, and future inflation rates. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs, well economic lives, or regulation requirements regarding the abandonment of wells.

The following table summarizes the activities of the Company’s asset retirement obligations for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,

Commodity Derivatives Instruments

The Company uses over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps to manage the commodity price risk associated with forecasted sale of its crude and natural gas production. The Company has entered into fixed swap and basis swap contracts for both oil and gas production, as well as oil and gas collar contracts.

Fixed swaps are settled monthly based on differences between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price. When the referenced settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, the Company receives an amount from the counterparty based on the price difference multiplied by the volume. Similarly, when the referenced settlement price exceeds the price specified in the contract, the Company pays the counterparty an amount based on the price difference multiplied by the volume.

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021

For collar arrangements, the Company receives the difference between an agreed upon index price and the floor price if the index price is below the floor price. The Company pays the difference between the agreed upon ceiling price and the index price if the index price is above the ceiling price. No amounts are paid or received if the index price is between the floor and ceiling prices.

Long-Term Debt

The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum loan of $500.0 million and matures on September 23, 2025. As of December 31, 2022, the borrowing base and the elected commitment under the Credit Agreement was $210.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $108.0 million in outstanding borrowings. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings.

The credit facility has semi-annual borrowing base redeterminations by November 1 and May 1 based upon quantification of the Company’s reserves at June 30 and December 31 and is also subject to a redetermination upon the occurrence of certain events. The credit facility is secured by mortgages of certain producing crude oil and natural gas properties and substantially all of assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Interest on the credit facility is either (i) Secured Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin between 2.75% and 3.75% or (ii) the American Banking Prime Rate plus a margin between 1.75% and 2.75%. The use of LIBOR as a global reference rate was discontinued with the March 2022 amendment. The transition from LIBOR did not have a material impact on interest expense or borrowing activities under the Credit Agreement, or to otherwise have a material adverse impact on the business.

The credit facility provides for an annual commitment fee of 0.50% depending on the unused borrowing base amount. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 5.64% and 3.18%, respectively. The credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and defaults customary for transactions of this type, including but not limited to: (i) limitations on liens and incurrence of debt covenants; (ii) limitations on the sale of property, mergers, consolidations, and other similar transactions covenants; (iii) limitations on investments, loans, and advances covenants; and (iv) limitations on dividends, distributions, redemptions, and restricted payments covenants.

Members’ Equity

During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received $18.6 million and $105.7 million, respectively, in Members’ contributions from all partners to fund its asset acquisitions and drilling activities. Note, member liability is limited to ownership in the LLC.

11.

Share Based Compensation

The Company has created and granted incentive units for employees in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered for the Company. The incentive units are broken into four tiers: Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV. All incentive units are non-voting and subject to vesting. The vesting schedule is 1/5th per year on the anniversary of the grant date for Tiers I and II with Tier III and Tier IV vesting upon payout of Tier III and Tier IV respectively. As of December 31, 2022, 1.0 million shares of each tier are outstanding.

On March 30, 2022, the owners modified the LLC agreement to allow all 76 employees to retain incentive units upon voluntary resignation under a 10-year, quarterly vesting period. Fair value of the incentive units was determined on a hypothetical liquidation scenario of the company from a market participant perspective at the modification date. The valuation of the incentive units utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model in a risk-neutral framework. The fair value of the incentive units was based on the conventional method, which considered the reinvestment of any potential dividends in the equity of the Company. Significant assumptions used in this simulation include the Company’s expected volatility (based on guideline public companies), dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with a three-year vesting period, as well as the volatilities and dividend yields for each of the Company’s peers.

Compensation expense will be recognized quarterly, ratably over the 10-year, vesting period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $6.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, which is included within general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. The remaining compensation cost on nonvested awards yet to be recognized as of December 31, 2022 was $80.6 million which will be recognized over the next 9.25 years. The Company will be recognizing forfeitures as they occur. There were 65,000 units granted and 26,250 units forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2022. Cash is only distributed to incentive unit holders upon declaration of a distribution at the discretion of the Board. There have been no distributions to incentive unit holders as of December 31, 2022.

Net Proved Oil, NGL and Natural Gas Reserves

Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil, gas, and NGLs which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, 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, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined, and the price to be used is the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions. All of the Company estimated proved reserves are located in the United States.

Organization and Nature of Business

On June 20, 2023, Civitas Resources, Inc. (“Civitas”) announced its intent to purchase the Company for $658.2 million in cash and 5,940,350 shares of common equity through a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“the MIPA”). On August 2, 2023, the MIPA was executed between the Company and Civitas.

In conjunction with the announcement of the Company’s MIPA with Civitas on June 20, 2023, all members equity contributions and management incentive units were transferred from Tap Rock Resources II, LLC to Tap Rock Resources II Legacy, LLC ("Tap Rock II Legacy”) and Tap Rock Resources II Intermediate, LLC with a 99.9% and 0.1% ownership of the Company, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2022 consolidated financial statements and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2022 consolidated financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented herein.

Contracts with Customers

The Company recognizes its share of revenue from the sale of produced oil, natural gas, and NGLs from its assets in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico and Loving county in Texas. Oil, natural gas, and NGL production revenue presented within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations is reflective of the revenue generated from contracts with customers. The table below presents the oil, natural gas, NGL production and other revenue by product type for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
Oil Production Revenue	$	134,263		$	148,891
Gas Production Revenue		(2,569	)		4,613
NGL Production Revenue		12,327			12,446
Total	$	144,021		$	165,950

Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying balance sheets until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers within the accompanying balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were $31.0 million and $33.9 million, respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties and historical performance factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser.

Fair Value Measurements

The three input levels in the hierarchy of fair value measurements are as follows:

Input Level		Description of Input
Level 1		Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3		Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s recurring fair value instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued oil, natural gas, and NGL receivables and other receivables, accounts payable, debt, and commodity derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s carrying value of the credit facility balance approximates fair value (Level 2 measurement).

Commodity derivative contracts are marked-to-market each quarter and are thus stated at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and in Note 6 – Commodity Derivative Instruments. The fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements as they are calculated using industry standard models using assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include market price curves, quoted market prices in active markets, credit risk adjustments, implied market volatility, and discount factors.

Acquisitions

February 2023 ConocoPhillips Acquisition

In February 2023, the Company acquired approximately 1,100 net leasehold acres in Lea County, New Mexico through consideration of 317 net acres and cash of $23.0 million to COG Operating LLC, ConocoPhillps Company and Concho Oil & Gas LLC (collectively “COG”). The sale closed on February 16, 2023 with an effective date of February 1, 2023. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition under Accounting Standards Codification 805 Business Combinations..

Commodity Derivatives Instruments

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Fixed swaps are settled monthly based on differences between the fixed price specified in the contract and the referenced settlement price. When the referenced settlement price is less than the price specified in the contract, the Company receives an amount from the counterparty based on the price difference multiplied by the volume. Similarly, when the referenced settlement price exceeds the price specified in the contract, the Company pays the counterparty an amount based on the price difference multiplied by the volume.

The Company has entered into fixed price oil basis swaps in order to mitigate exposure to adverse pricing differentials between certain industry benchmark prices and the actual physical pricing points where the Company’s production volumes are sold. Currently, the Company has basis swap contracts with fixed price differentials for oil between Argus WTI Midland and WTI Cushing, and for gas between Argus Henry Hub and Waha, for a portion of its Permian Basin production with contracts that settle at WTI Midland prices. The Company has also entered into oil swap contracts to fix the differential in pricing between the NYMEX WTI calendar month average and the physical oil delivery month (“Roll Differential”) in which the Company pays the periodic variable Roll Differential and receives a weighted-average fixed price differential. As of June 30, 2023, the Company neutralized all swap positions to prepare for the impending sale to Civitas (see FN 1 – Organization and Nature of the Business for more information), meaning the buy side volumes and the sell side volumes of all swap positions net to zero notional volumes. In the tables below, both the buy side volumes and the sell side volumes are represented separately to show such netting. The weighted-average fixed price represents the amount of addition (reduction) to delivery month prices for both buy side and sell side notional volumes covered by the swap contracts. All cash settlements related to the neutralization of the swap positions occurred in July 2023.

Below is a summary of the Company’s open fixed swap positions as of June 30, 2023:

Long-Term Debt

The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with a maximum loan of $500.0 million and matures on September 23, 2025. As of June 30, 2023, the borrowing base and the elected commitment under the Credit Agreement was $250.0 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $215.0 million in outstanding borrowings. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $108.0 million in outstanding borrowings.

The credit facility provides for an annual commitment fee of 0.50% depending on the unused borrowing base amount. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 8.31% and 5.64%, respectively. The credit facility contains representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and defaults customary for transactions of this type, including but not limited to: (i) limitations on liens and incurrence of debt covenants; (ii) limitations on the sale of property, mergers, consolidations, and other similar transactions covenants; (iii) limitations on investments, loans, and advances covenants; and (iv) limitations on dividends, distributions, redemptions, and restricted payments covenants.

Tap Rock Resources II, LLC

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The credit facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to comply with a consolidated leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.0 and a current ratio of over 1 to 1. Additionally, the Company must provide audited financial statements no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year and unaudited financial statements no later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter. In conjunction with the sale to Civitas, the Company paid down all remaining debt as of August 2, 2023. Therefore, compliance requirements with the terms and covenants of the credit facility were eradicated by the time of reporting.

Members’ Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company received $22.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively, in Members’ contributions from all partners to fund its asset acquisitions and drilling activities. Note, member liability is limited to ownership in the LLC.

Share Based Compensation

The Company has created and granted incentive units for employees in consideration of services rendered and to be rendered for the Company. The incentive units are broken into four tiers: Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, and Tier IV. All incentive units are non-voting and subject to vesting. The vesting schedule is 1/5^th per year on the anniversary of the grant date for Tiers I and II with Tier III and Tier IV vesting upon payout of Tier III and Tier IV respectively. As of June 30, 2022, 1.0 million shares of each tier are outstanding.

Compensation expense is recognized quarterly, ratably over the 10-year, vesting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $4.4 million in stock-based compensation expense, which is included within general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. The remaining compensation cost on nonvested awards yet to be recognized as of June 30, 2023 was $76.3 million which will be recognized over the next 8.75 years. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. There were zero units granted and zero units forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cash is only distributed to incentive unit holders upon declaration of a distribution at the discretion of the Board. There have been no distributions to incentive unit holders as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 20, 2023, all management incentive units were moved from the Company to Tap Rock II Legacy, as mentioned in FN 1 – Organization and Nature of the Business. Therefore, no share based compensation expense will exist for the Company going forward.

Exhibit 99.7

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related footnotes (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, which is herein referred to as Article 11. The Pro Forma Financial Statements of Civitas Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Civitas” or the “Company”) present the combination of the financial information and the pro forma effect with respect to the following transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”), further details of which are included within the footnotes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements.

On June 19, 2023, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Hibernia Acquisition Agreement”) with Hibernia Energy III Holdings, LLC and Hibernia Energy III-B Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Hibernia Energy III, LLC (“HE3”) and Hibernia Energy III-B, LLC (“HE3-B” and, together with HE3, “Hibernia”).

On August 2, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Hibernia Acquisition Agreement (the “Hibernia Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of $2.25 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the Hibernia Acquisition Agreement.

On June 19, 2023, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Tap Rock Acquisition Agreement”) with Tap Rock Resources Legacy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tap Rock I Legacy”), Tap Rock Resources Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tap Rock I Intermediate” and, together with Tap Rock I Legacy, the “Tap Rock I Sellers”), Tap Rock Resources II Legacy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tap Rock II Legacy”), Tap Rock Resources II Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tap Rock II Intermediate” and, together with Tap Rock II Legacy, the “Tap Rock II Sellers”), Tap Rock NM10 Legacy Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NM10 Legacy”), and Tap Rock NM10 Holdings Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NM10 Intermediate” and together with NM10 Legacy, the “NM10 Sellers”, and the NM10 Sellers, together with the Tap Rock I Sellers and Tap Rock II Sellers, the “Tap Rock Sellers”), solely in its capacity as “Sellers’ Representative” (as defined therein), Tap Rock I Legacy, and solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Tap Rock Resources, LLC a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Tap Rock AcquisitionCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Tap Rock Resources II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Tap Rock NM10 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, “Tap Rock”), from the Tap Rock I Sellers, the Tap Rock II Sellers and the NM10 Sellers, respectively.

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Tap Rock Acquisition Agreement (the “Tap Rock Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $2.49 billion, which was comprised of (i) $1.50 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments set forth in the Tap Rock Acquisition Agreement and (ii) 13,538,472 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company valued at approximately $990.2 million, subject to certain customary anti-dilution and purchase price adjustments.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements of Civitas present the combination of the financial information and the pro forma effects with respect to the Hibernia Acquisition and the Tap Rock Acquisition (collectively, the “Acquisitions”), further details of which are included within the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Civitas, Hibernia and Tap Rock adjusted to give effect to the Acquisitions and exclude historical financial data from the HE3-B historical financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) combines the historical condensed consolidated balance sheets of Civitas, Hibernia and Tap Rock as of June 30, 2023, giving effect to the Acquisitions as if they had been consummated on June 30, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the “Pro Forma Statements of Operations”) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, have been prepared to give effect to the Acquisitions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2022. The Pro Forma Financial Statements contain certain reclassification adjustments to conform the historical Hibernia and Tap Rock financial statement presentation to Civitas’ financial statement presentation.

The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented to reflect the Acquisitions and do not represent what Civitas’ results of operations would have been had the Acquisitions occurred on the date noted above, nor do they project the results of operations of the combined company following the effective dates. The Pro Forma Financial Statements are intended to provide information about the continuing impact of the Acquisitions as if they had been consummated earlier. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on information and certain estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable based on currently available information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Pro Forma Financial Statements have been made.

The Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Civitas identified as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting requires fair values to be estimated and determined for the merger consideration, as well as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Civitas. As of the date of this filing, the determination of these fair value estimates is still preliminary as Civitas continues to complete the detailed valuation analysis to arrive at the required final estimates, which will be completed as soon as practicable, and will not extend beyond the one-year measurement period from the close of the Transactions provided under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Any increases or decreases in the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuation analysis may be materially different from the information reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements herein. The Pro Forma Financial Statement should be read in conjunction with:

●

the audited consolidated financial statements contained in Civitas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2023;

The pro forma standardized measure information set forth below gives effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had been completed on January 1, 2022. With respect to the disclosures below for Civitas, the amounts were determined by referencing the “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” reported in Civitas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. An explanation of the underlying methodology applied, as required by SEC regulations, can be found within the Annual Report on Form 10-K. With respect to the disclosures below for Hibernia and Tap Rock, the amounts were determined by referencing the “Unaudited Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures” reported in their respective annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included elsewhere in this filing. The calculations assume the continuation of existing economic, operating and contractual conditions at December 31, 2022.
