Long-Term Debt

NOTE 6: Long-Term Debt

The Company has a $200,000,000 credit facility with a group of banks headed by Bank of Oklahoma (BOK) with a borrowing base of $45,000,000 as of March 31, 2020, and a maturity date of November 30, 2022 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is subject to a semi-annual borrowing base determination, wherein BOK applies its commodity pricing forecast to the Company’s reserve forecast and determines a borrowing base. The Credit Facility is secured by certain of the Company’s properties (wellbore only) with a net book value of $42,020,263 at March 31, 2020. The interest rate is based on BOK prime plus from 0.50% to 1.25%, or 30-day LIBOR plus from 2.00% to 2.75%. The election of BOK prime or LIBOR is at the Company’s discretion. The interest rate spread from BOK prime or LIBOR will be charged based on the ratio of the loan balance to the borrowing base. The interest rate spread from LIBOR or the prime rate increases as the ratio of loan balance to the borrowing base increases. At March 31, 2020, the effective interest rate was 3.89%.

The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount on its Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are reflective of market rates.

Determinations of the borrowing base are made semi-annually (usually June and December) or whenever the banks, in their discretion, believe that there has been a material change in the value of the oil and natural gas properties. The next redetermination is expected to occur in June 2020. The Credit Facility contains customary covenants which, among other things, require periodic financial and reserve reporting and place certain limits on the Company’s incurrence of indebtedness, liens, payment of dividends and acquisitions of stock. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, a current ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no less than 1.0 to 1.0 and a funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no more than 4.0 to 1.0 based on the trailing twelve months. At March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility, had $32,000,000 outstanding and had $13,000,000 of borrowing base availability under the Credit Facility.
