CHISHOLM ENERGY HOLDING, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.Organization and Nature of Operations
Chisholm Energy Holdings, LLC (“Holdings” or the “Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 19, 2016 by members of our management team and investment funds sponsored by Warburg Pincus LLC (“Warburg”). Holdings, together with its wholly owned operating subsidiaries (collectively, “Chisholm”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is an oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas properties located primarily in New Mexico’s Eddy and Lea counties.

On March 26, 2018, Holdings amended the LLC Agreement to admit a significant new investor, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (“OTPP”), in addition to increasing the equity commitment of Warburg and other existing investors.

On February 15, 2022, the Company sold all its oil and gas properties to Earthstone Energy, Inc. (“Earthstone”) for approximately $634 million. Subsequent to the sale of the oil and gas properties, the Company owned no interests in oil and gas properties or equipment. Ongoing operations were comprised of administrative functions and the settlement of remaining receivables and liabilities. The Company is continuing existence of the entity with the intent to wind down in a manner consistent with the terms of the LLC agreement. Due to the Company selling all of its oil and gas properties, held for sale or discontinued operations accounting and related disclosures were determined to not be additive to the users of the financial statements as of, and for the year ending, December 31, 2021. However an impairment of oil and gas assets was recorded to reduce the carrying value to estimated fair value (Note 3).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Estimates
The Company prepared the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates
Preparation in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to adopt accounting policies within accounting rules set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company’s management believes the major estimates and assumptions impacting the Company’s consolidated financial statements are the following:

estimates of proved reserves of oil and natural gas, which affect the calculations of depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) and impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties;
impairment of unproved properties and other assets;
depreciation of property and equipment; and
valuation of commodity derivative instruments.

Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results may differ from estimates and assumptions of future events and these revisions could be material. Future production may vary materially from estimated oil and natural gas proved reserves. Actual future prices may vary significantly from price assumptions used for determining proved reserves and for financial reporting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less. Balances held by the Company at its banks can exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to the amounts of deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of receivables from joint interest owners on properties the Company operates and crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) production delivered to purchasers. The purchasers remit payment for production directly to the Company. Most payments are received within two months after the production date. For receivables from joint interest owners, the Company typically could withhold future revenue disbursements to recover any non-payment of joint interest billings. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts in an amount equal to anticipated future uncollectible receivables. The Company determines its allowance by considering several factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the debtor’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they become uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Fixed Assets and Other
Fixed assets and other includes costs associated with office furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements, computer hardware and software, and other property. These items are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which range from three to five years.

Oil and Gas Sales Payable
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

6

CHISHOLM ENERGY HOLDING, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Oil and gas sales payable includes amounts that we collect from the purchasers of our crude oil and natural gas sales that are due to other working interest and royalty owners. We are typically required to remit these amounts to the other parties within 60 days from the end of the applicable production month.

Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) represent the future costs to abandon long-lived, tangible assets such as oil and natural gas wells, service assets and other facilities. The fair value of an ARO liability is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred, and the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. See further discussion in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.

Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is measured based on considerations specified in contracts with its customers, excluding any sales incentives or amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control over a product to the ultimate customer. Sales of oil, natural gas and NGLs are recognized at the time that control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, the pricing provisions in the Company’s contracts are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, the quality of the oil or natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. As a result, the prices of the Company’s oil, natural gas, and NGLs fluctuate to remain competitive with other available oil, natural gas, and NGLs supplies. There is no significant financing component to our revenues as our contracts with customers typically require payment within one month of delivery. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $22.0 million and $10.5 million, respectively. The Company reports revenues disaggregated by product on its consolidated statements of operations.

Three-stream reporting
For all periods prior to January 1, 2021, our reserves, revenues, production volumes and average sales prices were reported in two streams: crude oil and liquids-rich natural gas. This means the economic value of the natural gas liquids in our natural gas was included in the wellhead natural gas price and total volumes on a BOE-basis are lower. Beginning on January 1, 2021, we started reporting our reserves, revenues, production volumes and average sales prices on a three-stream basis, which separately reports NGLs from crude oil and natural gas. The Company implemented the change in reporting to alleviate the burden of complying with Federal royalty reporting requirements. Prior periods have not been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and as a result impacts the comparability of prior periods.

Income Taxes
The Company is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes with each member separately including their share of the Company’s income or loss in their respective tax returns. However, the Company has two subsidiaries that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will pay federal and state income tax on their respective taxable income, if applicable. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, these entities had no tax liability. In addition, the Company is subject to the Texas Margin Tax on its earnings in Texas and as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had no liability.

Recent Accounting Developments

Lease Accounting -  In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” The ASU will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. This ASU is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still considering the method of adoption and the effect of this guidance on its operating results, financial position or cash flow. Management believes it will have little impact on operating results.

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” This ASU clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Targeted Transition Relief.” This ASU provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. The ASU on credit losses will take effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is still considering the method of adoption and the effect of this guidance on its operating results, financial position or cash flow. Management believes it will have little impact on operating results.

3.Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Exploration expenses, including seismic, geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals, are charged to expense when incurred. The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized until the Company has determined whether proved reserves have been found. If proved reserves are found, the costs remain capitalized as part of the wells and related equipment and facilities. If no proved reserves are found, the costs are charged to expense. The Company had no exploratory wells in progress at December 31, 2021 or 2020. Costs subject to depletion are proved costs and costs not subject to depletion are unproved costs and current drilling projects or wells in progress (“WIP”). The Company excluded WIP costs of $19.5 million and $18.6 million, and associated reserves, from the depletion calculation at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

CHISHOLM ENERGY HOLDING, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Significant tangible equipment added or replaced that extends the useful or productive life of the property is capitalized. Costs incurred to increase the productive capacity from existing reservoirs are capitalized.

Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment periodically or when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying amount of such property. The Company estimates the expected future cash flows of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties, on a field-by-field basis, to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will write down the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to estimated fair value. Unproved oil and natural gas properties are assessed periodically for impairment by considering future drilling plans, the results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales, remaining lease terms and the expiration of all or a portion of such projects. The Company’s periodic assessment also considers its ability to prioritize expenditures to drill leases and to make payments to extend lease terms, as well as its ability to enter into leasehold exchange transactions that allow for higher concentrations of ownership and development. The Company recognizes leasehold abandonment expense for unproved properties at the earlier of the time when the lease term has expired, the continuous development clause has expired or management estimates the lease will expire before it is drilled, sold or traded. During the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recorded impairment of our proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties of $114.9 million. There were no such charges during the year ended December 31, 2020. As the Company’s exploration and development work progresses and the reserves on the Company’s properties are proven, capitalized costs attributed to the properties and mineral interests are subject to DD&A. Depletion of capitalized costs is provided using the units-of-production method based on proved oil and natural gas reserves related to the associated reservoir. Depletion expense on capitalized oil and natural gas properties was $71.0 million and $69.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On the sale of a complete or partial unit of a proved property, we determine the impact to the unit-of-production amortization rate. If the impact to the unit-of-production amortization rate is considered significant, the cost and related accumulated DD&A are removed from the property accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. If the impact to the unit-of-production amortization rate is not considered significant, the sale is accounted for as a normal retirement with no gain or loss recognized.

For sales of all our working interests in unproved properties, gain or loss is recognized to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the net carrying value of the property. Proceeds from sales of less than all our working interests in unproved properties are accounted for as a recovery of costs unless the proceeds exceed the entire cost of the property.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred costs of $4.2 million related to the purchase of leasehold acreage and incremental working interest of properties. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred costs of $1.0 million related to the purchase of leasehold acreage. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company exchanged certain leasehold acreage and oil and gas properties with a net book value of $13.4 million with no gain or loss recognized. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not exchange leasehold acreage or oil and gas properties.

Revolving Credit Facility
On September 19, 2017, we entered into a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. serving as the administrative agent.

On July 9, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 9, 2025. Availability under the Credit Facility is subject to a borrowing base which depends on, among other things, the volumes of our proved oil and natural gas reserves and estimated cash flows from these reserves and our commodity hedge positions. At December 31, 2021, our borrowing base was $100.0 million. The borrowing base is subject to semi-annual redeterminations.

In general, the borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at either the Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) or LIBOR. Either rate is adjusted upward by an applicable margin based on our percentage of utilization of the credit facility. The ABR is calculated as a rate per annum equal to
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


the greater of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“NYFRB”) Rate plus 0.5% or (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%. The Credit Facility is secured by a priority lien on substantially all the assets of Holdings and its subsidiaries. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 our interest rate on the credit facility was approximately 3.38% and 3.15%, respectively. Interest expense on the Credit Facility totaled $1.9 million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The credit facility contains various covenants, including among others: restrictions on liens; restrictions on incurring other indebtedness; restrictions on dividends, investments and other restricted payments; and maintenance of certain financial covenants determined on a regular basis. For purposes of financial covenant testing, Holdings is subject to a total leverage ratio, which measures the net debt over Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depletion and Depreciation, Amortization, Exploration and other adjustments (“EBITDAX”) of Holdings. The total leverage ratio as defined by the credit facility provides that this ratio must not be greater than 3.25 to 1.0. Holdings is also subject to a current ratio, which measures the current assets (including the undrawn amount of the total commitments of the Credit Facility but excluding derivative assets) over the current liabilities (excluding derivative obligations and current maturities of the credit facility of Holdings). The current ratio financial covenant, as defined by the Credit Facility, provides that this ratio must not be lower than 1.0 to 1.0. Holdings was in compliance with its financial covenants at December 31, 2021.

The Company believes that the $56 million available under the Company’s Revolving Line of Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021 mitigate the working capital deficit of $24.3 million, $24.2 million of which related to derivative liabilities, as of December 31, 2021. See further discussion in Note 11 Subsequent Events.


Second Lien Notes
On May 15, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (the “Note Purchase Agreement” and such notes, the “Second Lien Notes”) among the Company as issuer, U.S. Bank National Association as agent and collateral agent and certain holders that are a party thereto and issued notes in an initial principal amount of $125.0 million, with a $1.25 million discount, for net proceeds of $123.75 million before fees and expenses. On March 22, 2021, we entered into a second amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement which allows Holdings to utilize the note receivable proceeds to repay $25 million of principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and retain the balance available for debt repayment under the credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. In addition, the second amendment allows Holdings to forgive and cancel the remaining balance of the note receivable upon payment to Holdings of the earnout net proceeds received by Chisholm Energy Midstream, LLC at a future date. As of December 31, 2021, the note receivable has balance of $4.0 million (note 9). On March 26, 2021, we used a portion of the proceeds from the note receivable payment of $31.5 million and repaid $25 million of principal and accrued interest under our Second Lien Notes. The Second Lien Notes mature on May 15, 2026.

Interest on the Second Lien Notes is payable quarterly and accrues at LIBOR plus 6.25%; provided that if LIBOR ceases to be available, the Second Lien Notes provides for a mechanism to use ABR (an alternate base rate) plus 5.25% as the applicable interest rate. The definitions of LIBOR and ABR are set forth in the Second Lien Notes. To the extent that a payment, insolvency or, at the holders’ election, another default exists and is continuing, all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Notes will bear interest at 2.0% per annum above the rate and margin otherwise applicable thereto. Additionally, to the extent we were to default on the Second Lien Notes, this would potentially trigger a cross-default under our revolving credit facility.

We have the right, to the extent permitted under the revolving credit facility and subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Lien Notes, to optionally prepay the notes, subject to the following repayment fees: prior to the 18 month anniversary, a customary “make-whole” amount (which is equal to the present value of the remaining interest payments through the 18-month anniversary of the issuance of the Second Lien Notes, discounted at a rate equal to the U.S. Treasury rate plus 50 basis points) plus 2.0% of the principal amount of the notes repaid; during month 18 until the 30 month anniversary, 2.0% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being prepaid; during month 30 until the 42 month anniversary, 1.0% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being prepaid; and thereafter, no premium. However, any prepayment of the Second Lien Notes due to a change of control event prior to the 18-month anniversary shall instead be subject to a prepayment fee of 3.0% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes being prepaid. In connection with the sale of the Company’s properties, a prepayment penalty was incurred. See further discussion in Note 11 Subsequent Events. Additionally, the Second Lien Notes contain customary mandatory prepayment obligations upon asset sales, casualty events and incurrences of certain debt, subject to, in certain circumstances, reinvestment periods. The Note Purchase Agreement is evaluated periodically to determine whether certain embedded derivatives, which we initially deemed the likelihood of underlying triggering events to be remote, require separate valuation and accounting. For certain features that are deemed to not be clearly and closely related to the debt host contract we evaluate whether the facts and circumstances have changed regarding the probability of occurrence. There are no features that require bifurcation pursuant to ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” as of December 31, 2021.

The obligations under the Second Lien Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted liens (including the liens created under the revolving credit facility), by a perfected security interest, second in priority to the liens securing our revolving credit facility, and mortgage lien on substantially all of our assets and certain of our subsidiaries, including a mortgage lien on oil and natural gas properties attributed with at least 85% of estimated PV-9 of our proved reserves and our subsidiaries. PV-9 is determined using commodity price assumptions by the administrative agent of the revolving credit facility.

Beginning in the period ending on December 31, 2019, the Second Lien Notes also contain a financial covenant measuring the ratio of total net debt to EBITDAX, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters, not to exceed 4.25 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Second Lien Notes also contain an asset coverage ratio, which includes in the numerator the PV-10 (defined below), based on forward strip pricing, plus the mark-to-market value of our commodity derivative contracts and our restricted subsidiaries and in the denominator the total net of our indebtedness including our restricted subsidiaries. Beginning with the period ending on December 31, 2019, the asset coverage ratio is

tested quarterly and cannot be less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of each date of determination. The first amendment to the note purchase agreement dated March 31, 2020 modified the asset coverage ratio to be not less than 0.75 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2020 and then not less than 1.25 to 1.00 for each quarter thereafter. PV-10 Value is the estimated future net revenues to be generated from the production of proved reserves discounted to present value using an annual discount rate of 10%.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants under the Second Lien Notes.

The Second Lien Notes contain certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on incurring debt and liens, limitations on making certain restricted payments, limitations on investments, limitations on asset sales and hedge unwinds, limitations on transactions with affiliates and limitations on modifying organizational documents and material contracts. The Second Lien Notes contain customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under the Second Lien Notes to be immediately due and payable.

As of December 31, 2021, net amounts outstanding for the Second Lien Notes totaled $97.2 million. Interest expense on the Second Lien Notes totaled $8.5 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

5.Equity Contributions/Distributions

The member interests consist of Series A units, which obligate members to make capital contribution to the Company. In May 2021, Holdings amended and restated its LLC Agreement (the “Fourth LLC Agreement”) which combined three classes of Series A units into a single class of units. As of December 31, 2021, Series A unitholders have contributed a total of $623.7 million to the Company. The Company has approved the issuance of 59,179,536 Series A units, all of which are outstanding in connection with the Fourth LLC Agreement as of December 31, 2021. None were issued during the year ending December 31, 2021.

The Company has also approved the issuance of 10,000,000 Series B units, of which 8,364,445 were issued as of December 31, 2021. As part of the Fourth LLC Agreement, Holdings issued a new class of Series B units to replace the original class of Series B units. The new class of Series B units modified the parameters utilized to determine distributions. During the year ending December 31, 2021 the Company repurchased all outstanding old Series B units and issued a total of 8,364,445 new Series B units.

Under the terms of the Fourth LLC Agreement, distributions are first allocated 100% to the Series A units until such holders have received cumulative distributions equal to a deemed aggregate capital contribution plus a cumulative preferred return. Should cumulative distributions exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Series A unit requirements, the Series B units are allocated a portion of any additional distributions in accordance with tiered parameters detailed in the Fourth LLC Agreement. No distributions have been made as of December 31, 2021.

Seventy-five percent of the Series B units held by current employees and independent directors are subject to vesting requirements that depend on continued employment with the Company over a four-year service period or upon Board approval during triggering event. The remaining twenty-five percent of the Series B units held by current employees and independent directors are subject to vesting requirements that depend on a performance condition and continued employment with the Company. Equity-based compensation expense for the awards subject only to the service condition is based on the grant date fair value of the applicable awards and is recognized straight-line over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to the awards subject to performance conditions will be recognized when the performance condition becomes probable of being met. The Fourth LLC Agreement resulted in a modification of the equity awards in accordance with ASC 718. The modification resulted in additional equity-based compensation expense of $1.4 million. The Company estimated the fair value of certain Series B units, granted to certain employees of the Company, on a minority, non-marketable basis, as of May 27, 2021 and May 28, 2021 (“valuation dates”). Key input variables as of the valuation dates are the following:

Expected volatility of 85.9%
Expected risk-free rate of 1.606%

Equity-based compensation expense reflected in the consolidated statements of operations totaled $2.8 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In connection with the sale of the Company’s properties and based on the terms of the LLC agreement, the Board elected to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding Series B units. See further discussion in Note 11 Subsequent Events.


6.Derivative financial instruments

We have entered into commodity derivative financial contracts to mitigate the risk of volatility in commodity prices with respect to a portion of our oil and natural gas production. As of December 31, 2021, our commodity derivative instruments consisted of fixed price swaps, costless collars, and three-way costless collars, which are described below:
Fixed price swaps: Under a swap contract, we will receive payment if the settlement price is less than the fixed price and would be required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price is greater than the fixed price.
Costless collars: A collar consists of a sold call option (ceiling) combined with a purchased put option (floor) and allows us to benefit from increases in commodity prices up to the ceiling price of the contract and protects us from decreases in commodity prices below the floor price. At settlement, the counterparty is required to make a payment to us if the settlement price is below the floor price, while we are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price is above the ceiling price. If the settlement price is between the floor price and ceiling price, no payments are due from either party.
Three-way costless collars: A three-way collar consists of a combination of three options–a sold call option (ceiling), a purchased put option (floor) and a sold put (sub-floor). This allows us to benefit from increases in commodity prices up to the ceiling price of the contract and protects us from decreases in commodity prices below the floor price but only up to the sub-floor price. If the settlement

price is below the sub-floor price, the counterparty is required to make a payment to us for the difference between the floor price and sub-floor price. If the settlement price is between the floor price and sub-floor price, the counterparty is required to make a payment to us for the difference between the floor price and the settlement price. If the settlement price is between the floor price and ceiling price, no payments are due from either party. If the settlement price is above the ceiling price, we are required to make a payment to the counterparty for the difference.

7.Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following fair value input hierarchy:

Level 1:    Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date.
Level 2:    Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Derivative Financial Instruments

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 – Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company adjusts the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk and for counterparty risk. The fair values of the Company’s commodity derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements because they are calculated using industry standard models that utilize assumptions and inputs which are substantially observable in active markets throughout the full term of the instruments. These include market price curves, contract terms and prices, credit risk adjustments, implied market volatility and discount factors. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities according to their fair value hierarchy as of the reporting dates indicated (in thousands):

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard on a non-recurring basis to its non-financial assets and liabilities, including oil and gas properties, goodwill, business combinations and asset retirement obligations. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments if events or changes in certain circumstances indicate that adjustments may be necessary. The subsequent sale of the oil and natural gas properties was a market indicator of the fair value, resulting in the recording of impairment as of December 31, 2021. See further discussion in Note 3 Oil and Natural Gas Properties.

The book value of our revolving credit facility and Second Lien Notes approximates fair value, which is based on Level 3 inputs.

8.Asset Retirement Obligations

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our liability for asset retirement obligations was $9.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The following table describes the changes in our asset retirement obligation (in thousands):

9.Related Party Transactions

On March 22, 2021 the Company’s unconsolidated affiliated company, Chisholm Energy Midstream, LLC (“CEM”), entered into an agreement (“3Bear sale”) with the other equity owner of 3 Bear Delaware Holding – NM, LLC (“3BDH-NM”) to sell all of its 40% interest in 3BDH-NM. Under the terms of the agreement, the two members of Holdings management resigned from the board of directors of 3BDH-NM and 3BDH-NM was no longer considered a related party as a result. In conjunction with the 3Bear sale, the Company entered into amended and restated agreements covering gas gathering and processing, oil gathering, and water gathering and disposal for a portion of our produced oil, gas and water As of December 31, 2020, we had payables due to 3BDH-NM of $1.1 million and receivables due from 3BDH-NM of $1.0 million. The
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

CHISHOLM ENERGY HOLDING, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


revenues received from 3BDH-NM were $1.3 million and $1.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company incurred charges of $1.9 million and $6.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During 2019, the Company entered into a $25 million loan agreement with CEM. Prior to the 3Bear sale, interest was due and payable quarterly and accrued at LIBOR plus 6.35%. The interest was payable in kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the note by the amount of interest due. All accrued and unpaid interest was payable on May 15, 2026 or upon an occurrence of a change of control. Any net sale proceeds from a sale of the existing business would be used to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the note. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.0 and $2.9 million, respectively, and is included in interest expense, net on our consolidated statements of operations.

CEM used proceeds from the 3Bear sale to reduce the amount of the note outstanding to the Company. At December 31, 2021, the note has a $4.0 million balance. We review open notes receivable balances for collectability each reporting period. If it is determined that it is probable that we will not collect the full amount due under a note agreement, we record reserves against the note receivable balance in accordance with ASC 310 – Receivables. To reasonably conclude on the collectability of such balances, we consider the borrower’s current status on payments received, the financial health and other sources of funding available to the borrower, our ability to secure assets collateralized by contractual agreements, as well as other factors. At December 31, 2020, we recorded an allowance of $1.9 million against the notes receivable balance due to doubtful collectability. The remaining balance is contingent on a triggering event and we reasonably concluded that no additional allowance is required at December 31, 2021.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation
We are party to several legal proceedings encountered in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, it is remote that these legal proceedings will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other
Holdings believes it is in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws, and the ultimate resolution of any claims or legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business against us is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

COVID-19
Despite the recoveries in commodity prices, recent surges from COVID-19 variants continue to negatively impact the global economy, disrupt global supply chains and create significant volatility and disruption of financial and commodity markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, is uncertain and depends on various factors, including how the pandemic and measures taken in response to its impact on demand for oil and natural gas, the availability of personnel, equipment and services critical to our ability to operate our properties and the impact of potential governmental restrictions on travel, transports and operations. There is uncertainty around the extent and duration of disruption, including any resurgence, and we expect that the longer the duration of any such disruption, the greater the adverse impact may be on our business.

11.Subsequent Events

As previously discussed in Note 1, the Company sold to Earthstone all its oil and gas assets on February 15, 2022 for approximately $634 million comprised of stock and cash subject to customary purchase price adjustments. In connection with the closing, the Company paid $40.0 million to pay off the revolving credit facility, $102.0 million to pay off the second lien notes (inclusive of $2.0 million in accrued interest), $1 million in penalties for prepayment of the second lien notes and $53.6 million to terminate all outstanding derivative positions. The company made distributions of $85.0 million to Series A and Series B unit holders. Based on the terms of the LLC agreement, the Board elected to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding Series B units. As a result the of the acceleration, the Company incurred additional equity compensation expense of $5.1 million.

We reviewed subsequent events through March 30, 2022, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued and concluded that no events had occurred that would warrant disclosure, other than those matters already disclosed herein.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
The estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and discounted future net cash flows for the Company’s oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were prepared using historical data and other information by qualified petroleum engineers engaged by the Company. Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions to be made in the evaluation of available geologic, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for any given reservoir may also change substantially over time because of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, additional development activity, production history, and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time.

The estimated proved net recoverable reserves presented below include only those quantities of oil and natural gas that geologic and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future periods from known reservoirs under existing economic, operating, and regulatory practices. In accordance with the SEC’s guidelines, estimates of proved reserves from which present values are derived were based on the unweighted 12-month average price of the first day of the month price for the period and held constant. Proved developed reserves represent only those reserves estimated to be recovered through existing wells. All the oil and gas reserves set forth herein are in the United States and are proved reserves.
As previously discussed in Note 2, the Company converted to three-stream reporting beginning January 1, 2021. Prior periods have not been reclassified to conform to the current presentation and as a result impacts the comparability of prior periods.

The estimated rounded quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and changes in net proved reserves are summarized below for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Notable changes are the following:

Revisions. The company made positive revisions in proved reserves of 20,474 MBoe for the year ended December 31, 2021. The company made negative revisions in proved reserves of 14,797 MBoe for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Positive revisions of previous estimates for 2021 were 20,474 MBoe primarily because of increase in pricing as calculated using SEC guidelines as well as a result of shifting from reporting reserves on a 2-stream to a 3-stream basis.

Negative revisions of previous estimates for 2020 were 14,797 MBoe primarily due to a decrease in pricing as calculated using SEC guidelines as well as a result of the reclassification of certain proved undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves to unproved reserves for PUD locations determined to be outside of the Company’s five-year capital expenditure plan.
Extensions. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, extensions contributed to the increase of 9,788 MBoe and 2,763 MBoe in the Company’s proved reserves, respectively, and for each such year the increase is attributable to the Company’s horizontal drilling program in the Delaware Basin.
Divestitures of reserves. As a result of divestitures of developed and undeveloped acreage, the Company’s reserves decreased by 2,033 MBoe for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no divestitures during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Acquisitions of reserves. As a result of acquisitions of developed and undeveloped acreage, the Company’s reserves increased by 5,271 MBoe for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves is computed in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect expectations of actual revenue 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 computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process.

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. The following prices, as adjusted for transportation, quality, and basis differentials, were used in the calculation of the standardized measure:
20212020
Oil (per Bbl)$65.33 $39.57
Natural gas (per Mcf)$3.45$1.99
NGLs (per Bbl)$31.72 $-


Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The standardized measure presented here does not include the effects of federal income taxes, as the Company is taxed as a partnership and not subject to federal income taxes; however, the Company is subject to the Texas margin tax, which is included. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a 10 percent annual discount factor.
