NOTE 10: Derivatives

The Company has entered into commodity price derivative agreements, including fixed swap contracts and costless collar contracts. These instruments are intended to reduce the Company’s exposure to short-term fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas. Fixed swap contracts set a fixed price and provide payments to the Company if the index price is below the fixed price, or require payments by the Company if the index price is above the fixed price. Collar contracts set a fixed floor price and a fixed ceiling price and provide payments to the Company if the index price falls below the floor or require payments by the Company if the index price rises above the ceiling. These contracts cover only a portion of the Company’s natural gas and oil production and provide only partial price protection against declines in natural gas and oil prices. These derivative instruments may expose the Company to risk of financial loss and limit the benefit of future increases in prices. The Company’s derivative contracts are currently with Bank of Oklahoma and Koch Supply and Trading LP. The derivative contracts with Bank of Oklahoma are secured under the Credit Facility with Bank of Oklahoma (see Note 6: Long-Term Debt). The derivative contracts with Koch Supply and Trading LP are unsecured. The derivative instruments have settled or will settle based on the prices below:

The Company has elected not to complete all of the documentation requirements necessary to permit these derivative contracts to be accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company’s fair value of derivative contracts was a net asset of $4,216,915 as of March 31, 2020, and a net asset of $2,494,144 as of September 30, 2019. Net cash received related to derivative contracts settled during the six-month period ended March 31, 2020, was $1,530,912 compared to net cash paid of $1,518,294 in the same period in the prior year. Net cash received related to derivative contracts settled during the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $629,139 compared to net cash received of $181,107 in the same period in the prior year.

The fair value amounts recognized for the Company’s derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The Company has the choice of whether or not to offset, but that choice must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for the derivative contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Company’s Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes and reconciles the Company's derivative contracts’ fair values at a gross level back to net fair value presentation on the Company's Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020, and September 30, 2019. The Company has offset all amounts subject to master netting agreements in the Company's Balance Sheets at March 31, 2020, and September 30, 2019.
