Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 2022

 

 

 

1.

Organization and Operations of the Company

PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC, (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware limited liability company (“LLC”) on August 31, 2016 for the purpose to acquire, own, maintain, renew, drill, develop and operate oil and natural gas interests and related assets. The Company began operations in April 2017 with its first asset acquisition.

On September 8, 2017, the Company was restructured and PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC, a Delaware LLC, and Peacemaker Royalties, LP were formed. The membership interests in PetroLegacy were assigned to PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC, which is an entity under common control. PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC became the parent company to PetroLegacy.

In March 2023, the Company received an assignment of mineral interests from Peacemaker Royalties, LP, a related company under PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC. The effective date of this assignment was January 1, 2023. The Company is accounting for the activities and balances associated with the contributed interests as if they were contributed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in accordance with common control guidance.

Current operations are concentrated in the Midland Basin of Texas. All references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “PetroLegacy” and the “Company” refer to PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records estimated oil and natural gas revenue receivable from third parties offset by revenue payable liability to arrive at its net revenue interests. The Company also reflects costs incurred on behalf of joint interest partners in accounts receivable. Management routinely reviews outstanding balances, assesses the financial strength of customers and joint interest partners and records a reserve for amounts not expected to be fully recovered. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded depletion expense on oil and natural gas properties of $26.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. As of March 31, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, the Company excluded $152.3 million and $150.1 million, respectively, of capitalized costs from depletion and impairment related to wells-in-progress, in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties

Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment annually or when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying amount of such property. No impairment expense was recognized attributable to proved oil and natural gas properties for the three months ended March 31, 2023 nor for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2023 2022

 

 

 

The Company evaluates significant unproved oil and natural gas properties for impairment based on remaining lease term, drilling results, reservoir performance, seismic interpretation or future plans to develop acreage. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was no impairment expense recorded related to unproved property. Further, lease acquisition costs are capitalized until the lease expires or when the Company specifically identifies the lease will revert to the lessor, at which time the Company expenses the associated lease acquisition costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not record any expired lease costs.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

To be Adopted in a Future Period

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU, along with subsequent related updates and amendments, replaces the current incurred loss model for measurement of credit losses on financial assets including trade receivables with a forward-looking expected loss model based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. During their October 2019 board meeting the FASB delayed the effective date for private entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This update is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This update is effective for private entities with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our condensed financial statements.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or clarifications of ASUs previously disclosed.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company classifies its commodity derivatives based upon the data used to determine fair value. The Company’s derivative instruments are in the form of swap contacts, costless collar options and three-way costless collar options based on WTI/NYMEX and Henry Hub/NYMEX pricing for oil and natural gas, respectively. The Company swaps commodity derivatives floating NYMEX rates for fixed rates. The fair value of these derivatives is derived using an independent third-party’s valuation model that utilizes market-corroborated inputs that are observable over the term of the derivative contract. The Company’s fair value calculations also incorporate an estimate of the counterparties’ default risk for derivative assets and an estimate of the Company’s default risk for derivative liabilities. As a result, the Company designates its commodity derivatives as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s derivative instruments expose it to counterparty credit risk, which arises due to the risk of loss from counterparties not performing under the terms of the derivative contract. To minimize such risk, the Company only enters into derivative contracts with counterparties that we determine are creditworthy, which includes performing both quantitative and qualitative assessment of these counterparties, based on their credit rating and credit default swap rates where applicable. Additionally, our derivatives contracts are with multiple counterparties, reducing our exposure to any individual counterparty. Any non-performance risk is considered in the valuations of our derivative instruments, but to date it has not had a material impact on the values of our derivatives.

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Nonrecurring fair value measurements include the initial recording of certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities as may be acquired in a purchase of oil and natural gas properties and thereby measured at fair value, measurements of oil and natural gas property impairments and the initial recording of asset retirement obligations.

The estimates of fair value for initial recording of acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, oil and natural gas impairment, and asset retirement obligations are prepared using various cash flow analysis and other assessments. As there is no corroborating market activity to support the assumptions used, the Company has designated these measurements as Level 3.

The carrying amount of cash, trade account receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, oil and natural gas revenue payable, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

In addition, the fair value of our Revolving Bank Loan (“RBL”) approximates its carrying value based on borrowing rates available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and is categorized as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

Long Term Debt

November 2021 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In November 2021, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Restated Credit Agreement”) with an overall senior secured line of credit of $500 million maturing November 10, 2024 with BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas, as Agent and Lead Arranger. The Restated Credit Agreement is reserve-based and subject to semiannual redetermination on or about the first day of May and November each year. The Restated Credit Agreement borrowing base was determined to be $110.0 million.

The terms of the Restated Credit Agreement require the Company to make periodic payments of interest on the loans outstanding thereunder, with all outstanding principal and interest under the RBL due on the maturity date. Interest on the RBL is calculated at the Company’s option, at either (a) the London Interbank Offered rate (“LIBOR”) for the applicable interest period plus a margin of 3.00% to 4.00% or (b) the greatest of the (i) Prime Rate, (ii) the overnight cost of federal funds as announced by the US Federal Reserve System plus 0.50%, and (iii) LIBOR for a one-month period plus a margin of 1.00%. Additional payments due under the Restated Credit Agreement include paying a commitment fee of 0.500%.

PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC, as borrower, is subject to certain covenants under the Restated Credit Agreement, including the requirement to maintain the following financial ratios:

 

   

as of the last day of any fiscal quarter starting with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, the leverage ratio not to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0;

 

   

commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, a ratio of (i) consolidated current assets (including the unused aggregate commitments) to (ii) consolidated current liabilities (excluding current maturities of the Notes) to be not less than 0.5 to 1.0 and starting with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, to not be less than 1.0 to 1.0.

In May 2022, the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was executed. Among other things, the RBL borrowing base was increased to $190 million.

In September 2022, the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was executed. Among other things, a new banking entity became a part of the credit agreement and the RBL borrowing based was increased to $235 million.

In December 2022, the RBL borrowing based was increased to $250 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the average interest rate under the RBL was 8.40% and 3.91%, respectively, on an average outstanding balance of $200.5 million and $102.4 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, total interest and commitment fees under the RBL were $4.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all terms and covenants of our Restated Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023 and as of March 31, 2022. If an event of default exists under the RBL, the lenders will be able to accelerate the obligations outstanding under the RBL and exercise other rights and remedies. Our Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement.

Members’ Equity

PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC was founded on August 31, 2016 upon the execution of an LLC agreement (“LLC Agreement”) between Encap Investments L.P. (“Encap”) and the three initial founders of the Company (collectively, “the Members”).

The LLC agreement obligated the Members to commit $150.0 million of capital contributions to the Company. The LLC Agreement authorized three classes of Membership Interests, Class A, Class B, and Class C Units. The number of units authorized was 1,496,750, 3,250, and 100,000, respectively. Class A and B Units are voting securities. Class C units granted to members of management and employees of the Company in order to share in the profits of and distributions of the Company after certain performance thresholds are achieved and, if and when, distributions are declared by the board. Under the limited liability ownership structure, Class C members are not liable for the expenses, liabilities, or obligations of the Company and do not entitle the holders to have any voting rights with respect to any Company matter. The grants are accounted for as stock- based compensation under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and measured at fair value on the grant date, using an income-based fair valuation method and weighted average of expected fund-life. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, stock compensation costs related to non-vested Class C units issued were deemed to be insignificant based on the fair value estimated by the Company.

Upon the creation of PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC, in September 2017, all Member Units previously held in PetroLegacy Energy II, LLC and the LLC Agreement were assigned to PetroLegacy II Holdings, LLC.

Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that the final disposition of such current matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Element

On September 12, 2018, Element Petroleum Properties, LLC (“Element”) filed a lawsuit against the Company seeking a declaratory judgment that it is the lessee under leases covering minerals that have previously been leased to the Company, and seeking consistent relief under other counts, including trespass to try title and an equitable quiet title claim, as well as various other monetary claims for unspecified damages. The Company denied Element’s allegations in their entirety and pleaded a counterclaim against Element under the Texas trespass to try to title statue to remove the cloud on its title that Element’s claim creates.

On December 2, 2019, a hearing was held on the parties’ competing motions for summary judgment. The trial court denied the Company’s motion to abate and motion for summary judgment and granted Element’s motion for partial summary judgment on its title claims.

On February 14, 2020, the trial court amended its abatement and summary judgment orders and granted permission for the Company and its lessor to immediately appeal the orders. The Company and its lessor filed their Petition for Permission to Appeal in the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District of Texas on February 28, 2020. The Court of Appeals did not accept the petition and the matter returned to the trial court for final judgment.

On May 4, 2021, the trial count entered its final judgment and the Company filed a notice of appeal. The Court of Appeals heard oral arguments on March 10, 2022 and anticipates that the appeals court will enter their judgment in 2023.

The Company continues to vigorously defend itself in this litigation. Precedent in the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh District of Texas gives the Company confidence that a loss contingency is neither probable nor estimable. As such, there is no associated liability recorded as of March 31, 2023 nor 2022 related to this matter.
