Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On January 5, 2022, U.S. Energy Corp. (“we”, “us”, “U.S. Energy” or the “Company”) closed the acquisitions contemplated by those certain three separate Purchase and Sale Agreements (as amended to date, the “Purchase Agreements”), previously entered into by the Company on October 4, 2021, with each of (a) Lubbock Energy Partners LLC (“Lubbock”); (b) Banner Oil & Gas, LLC (“Banner”), Woodford Petroleum, LLC (“Woodford”) and Llano Energy LLC (“Llano”, and together with Banner and Woodford, collectively, “Sage Road”), and (c) Synergy Offshore LLC (“Synergy”, and collectively with Lubbock and Sage Road, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, U.S. Energy acquired certain oil and gas properties from the Sellers, representing a diversified, conventional portfolio of operated, producing, oil-weighted assets located across the Rockies, West Texas, Eagle Ford, and Mid-Continent. The acquisition also included certain wells, contracts, technical data, records, personal property and hydrocarbons associated with the acquired assets (collectively with the oil and gas properties acquired, the “Acquired Assets”).

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of U.S. Energy, Lubbock, Synergy, Banner, Woodford and Llano and has been adjusted to reflect the following:

 

  U.S. Energy’s acquisition of substantially all of Lubbock’s oil and gas properties (the “Lubbock Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $21.5 million, based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on January 5, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), consisting of (i) $125,000 of cash (the “Lubbock Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price”) and (ii) 6,568,828 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The Lubbock Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price was subject to certain customary closing adjustments set forth in the Lubbock purchase agreement.
  U.S. Energy’s acquisition of substantially all of Synergy’s oil and gas properties (the “Synergy Acquisition”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $21.4 million, based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date, consisting of (i) $125,000 of cash (the “Synergy Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price”) and (ii) 6,546,384 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The Synergy Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price was subject to certain customary closing adjustments set forth in the Synergy purchase agreement.
  U.S. Energy’s acquisition of certain of Sage Road’s oil and gas properties (the “Sage Road Acquisition” and, together with the Lubbock Acquisition and the Synergy Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $23.1 million, based on the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on January 5, 2022, consisting of (i) $1.0 million of cash (the “Sage Road Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price”), and (ii) 6,790,524 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock. The Sage Road Unadjusted Cash Purchase Price was subject to certain customary closing adjustments set forth in the Sage Road purchase agreement.
  The aggregate purchase price under all the Purchase Agreements was $67.4 million, representing $1.25 million in cash, the value of 19,905,736 shares of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date of $64.7 million and purchase price adjustments on the Closing Date of $1.5 million. In addition, the Company assumed various liabilities, including the repayment of $3.3 million in debt, as well as a derivative liability from the novation of certain hedges with a mark to market loss of $3.1 million as of the Closing Date, suspense accounts, deferred tax obligation and asset retirement obligations.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations below for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the Acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.

 

Certain of Lubbock’s, Synergy’s and Sage Road’s historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation of U.S. Energy. Additionally, adjustments have been made to Lubbock’s, Synergy’s and Sage Road’s historical financial information to remove activity related to certain assets and liabilities retained by Lubbock, Synergy and Sage Road, respectively.

 

The results of operations presented herein as relating to the Acquired Assets were derived from the historical financial statements of the Acquired Assets included in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Current Report”).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement data should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (unaudited), included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2022; and the audited financial statements of the Sellers for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, each included in this Current Report.

 

An unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 has not been presented because the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflect the Acquisitions for the period from January 5, 2022 through March 31, 2022 and the financial impact of four days of operations from January 1, 2022 through January 4, 2022, is immaterial.

 

The pro forma financial information has been prepared based on information currently available to us, using assumptions that our management believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the Acquisitions had taken place on the date specified. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future. The pro forma financial information includes certain reclassifications to conform the historical results of operations of the Acquired Assets to our results of operations. The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been made.

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates, available information, and certain assumptions, all as more fully described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements.
