Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
(1) Reorganization under Chapter 11
 
On December 16, 2011, Delta Petroleum Corporation (“Delta”) and its subsidiaries Amber Resources Company of Colorado, DPCA, LLC, Delta Exploration Company, Inc., Delta Pipeline, LLC, DLC, Inc., CEC, Inc. and Castle Texas Production Limited Partnership filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On January 6, 2012, Castle Exploration Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Delta Pipeline, LLC, also filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. Delta and its subsidiaries included in the bankruptcy petitions are collectively referred to as the “Debtors.”
 
On December 27, 2011, the Debtors filed a motion requesting an order to approve matters relating to a proposed sale of Delta’s assets, including bidding procedures, establishment of a sale auction date and establishment of a sale hearing date. On January 11, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving these matters. On March 20, 2012, Delta announced that it was seeking court approval to amend the bidding procedures for its upcoming auction to allow bids relating to potential plans of reorganization as well as asset sales. On March 22, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the revised procedures.
 
Following the auction, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court to proceed with Laramie Energy II, LLC (“Laramie”) as the sponsor of a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). In connection with the Plan, Delta entered into a non-binding term sheet describing a transaction by which Laramie and Delta intended to form a new joint venture called Piceance Energy, LLC (“Piceance Energy”). On June 4, 2012, Delta entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Piceance Energy and Laramie to effect the transactions contemplated by the term sheet.
 
On June 4, 2012, the Debtors filed a disclosure statement relating to the Plan. The Plan was confirmed on August 15, 2012 and was declared effective on August 31, 2012 (the “Emergence Date”). On the Emergence Date, Delta consummated the transaction contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and each of Delta and Laramie contributed to Piceance Energy their respective assets in the Piceance Basin. Piceance Energy is owned 66.66% by Laramie and 33.34% by Delta (referred to after the closing of the transaction as “Successor”). At the closing, Piceance Energy entered into a new credit agreement, borrowed $100 million under that agreement, and distributed approximately $72.6 million net of settlements to the Company and approximately $24.9 million to Laramie. The Company used its distribution to pay bankruptcy expenses and to repay its secured debt. The Company also entered into a new credit facility and borrowed $13 million under that facility at closing, and used those funds primarily to pay bankruptcy claims and expenses.
 
On the Emergence Date, Delta also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and changed its name to Par Petroleum Corporation (“Par”). The amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains restrictions that render void certain transfers of the Company stock that involve a holder of five percent or more of its shares. The purpose of this provision is to preserve certain of the Company’s tax attributes including net operating loss carryforwards that the Company believes may have value. Under the amended and restated bylaws, the Company’s board of directors has five members, each of whom was appointed by its stockholders pursuant to a Stockholders’ Agreement entered into on the Emergence Date.
 
Following the reorganization, Par retained its interest in the Point Arguello Unit offshore California and other miscellaneous assets and certain tax attributes, including significant net operating loss carryforwards. Based upon the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, Delta’s creditors were issued approximately 147.7 million shares of common stock, and Delta’s former stockholders received no consideration under the Plan.
 
Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Contribution Agreement, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement with Laramie that governs the operations of Piceance Energy (the “LLC Agreement”).
 
In addition, Laramie and Piceance Energy entered into a Management Services Agreement pursuant to which Laramie provides certain services to Piceance Energy for a fee of $650,000 per month.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par Petroleum Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain of our natural gas and oil activities may be conducted through partnerships and joint ventures. We will include our proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses from these entities in our consolidated financial statements. We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements (other than operating leases) or any unconsolidated special purpose entities.
 
Our wholly owned primary operating subsidiaries include Par Piceance Energy, LLC, which owns our investment in Piceance Energy (see Note 3), and Texadian Energy, Inc. (formerly known as SEACOR Energy Inc. (“Texadian”)), which we acquired on December 31, 2012 (see Note 4).
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and regulations. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary to state fairly the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year. As a result, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto previously filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
Fresh Start Accounting and the Effects of the Plan
 
As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), effective as of August 31, 2012, Par adopted fresh start accounting following the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 852 “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”). Fresh start accounting results in us becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to August 31, 2012 reflect the operations of Delta prior to reorganization (hereinafter also referred to as “Predecessor”) and are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements presented on or after August 31, 2012. Accordingly, certain disclosures relating to the Predecessor’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 have been omitted. Fresh start accounting was required upon emergence from Chapter 11 because (i) holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50% of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately before confirmation of the Plan was less than our post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh start accounting results in a new basis of accounting and reflects the allocation of our estimated fair value to underlying assets and liabilities.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Restricted Cash
 
As of June 30, 2013, restricted cash consisted of approximately $318,000 designated to settle bankruptcy matters that is not available for operating activities (see Note 7). At December 31, 2012, restricted cash included amounts held at a commercial bank to support our letter of credit facility totaling approximately $19.0 million (see Note 5). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the restricted cash supporting the letter of credit facility was released to us and is available for general corporate purposes.
 
Trade Receivables
 
Texadian’s customers primarily included major independent refining and marketing companies. Customers are required to pay in advance or are granted credit on a short-term basis when credit risks are considered acceptable. We routinely review our trade receivables and make provisions for doubtful accounts based on existing customer and economic conditions; however, those provisions are estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are removed from accounts receivable and from the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. As of June 30, 2013, we had no significant allowance for doubtful accounts. Several of Texadian’s physical purchases and sales are with the same counterparty and therefore, they are settled on a net basis and Texadian’s receivables are recorded net of any corresponding payables. Additionally, we provide an accrual for natural gas and oil sales using the sales method by estimating natural gas and oil volumes and prices for months in which revenues have not been received using production and pricing information provided by the operator.

Inventories
 
Texadian’s inventories, which consist of in-transit oil, are stated at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or market. We record impairments, as needed, to adjust the carrying amount of inventories to the lower of cost or market.
 
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
 
Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but do not control the operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Our investment in unconsolidated affiliates consisted of our ownership interest in Piceance Energy (see Note 3).
 
Assets Held for Sale
 
As of December 31, 2012, we classified our compressors as held for sale, which were recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. On February 20, 2013, these compressors were sold for approximately $2.9 million resulting in a gain of $50,000.
 
Property and Equipment
 
We account for our natural gas and oil exploration and development activities using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under such method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Natural gas and oil lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological or geophysical expenses and delay rentals for natural gas and oil leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, then evaluated quarterly and charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties.
 
Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed quarterly on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs is computed using the units-of-production method by individual fields (common reservoirs) using proved producing natural gas and oil reserves amortized as the related reserves are produced. Associated leasehold costs are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on total proved natural gas and oil reserves amortized as the related reserves are produced.
 
Other property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to 15 years.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
We recorded goodwill as a result of our acquisition of Texadian. Goodwill was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with Texadian’s, and specifically utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, as a result of our acquisition of Texadian, we recorded certain other identifiable intangible assets. These intangible assets include relationships with suppliers and shippers and favorable railcar leases. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis.
 
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for the reporting unit would include the competitive environments and financial performance of the reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a two-step quantitative test is required. If required, we will review the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, based upon a multiple of estimated earnings. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an

 
 
 
8


impairment indicator exists and an estimate of the impairment loss is calculated. The fair value calculation uses Level 3 (see Note 6) inputs and includes multiple assumptions and estimates, including the projected cash flows and discount rates applied. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could result in a goodwill impairment that could materially adversely impact our financial position or results of operations.

We evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets when impairment indicators are present or when circumstances indicate that impairment may exist under authoritative guidance. When we believe impairment indicators may exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use of and eventual disposition of the intangible assets are prepared. If the projections indicate that their carrying values are not recoverable, we reduce the carrying values to fair value. These impairment tests are heavily influenced by assumptions and estimates that are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
 
Our natural gas and oil assets, including our investment in our unconsolidated affiliate, are reviewed for impairment quarterly or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.
 
 For proved properties, if the expected future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment exists and is measured by the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Any impairment provisions recognized are permanent and may not be restored in the future.
 
We assess proved properties on an individual field basis for impairment each quarter when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. For proved properties, the review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs.
 
For unproved properties, the need for an impairment charge is based on our plans for future development and other activities impacting the life of the property and our ability to recover our investment. When we believe the costs of the unproved property are no longer recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded based on the estimated fair value of the property.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
Our asset retirement obligations arise from plugging and abandonment liabilities for our natural gas and oil wells.
 
Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments
 
We may periodically enter into commodity price risk transactions to manage our exposure to natural gas and oil price volatility. These transactions may take the form of non-exchange traded fixed price forward contracts and exchange traded futures contracts, collar agreements, swaps or options. The purpose of the transactions will be to provide a measure of stability to our cash flows in an environment of volatile commodity prices.
 
Texadian enters into fixed-price forward purchase and sale contracts for crude oil. The contracts typically contain settlement provisions in the event of a failure of either party to fulfill its commitments under the contract.  Texadian’s policy is to fulfill or accept the physical delivery of the product, even if shipment is delayed, and it will not net settle.  Should Texadian not designate a contract as a normal purchase or normal sale or should a scheduled delivery under the terms of contract not occur, then these exceptions may require the recording of the contract as a derivative.  If derivative accounting treatment is required then these contracts would be recorded at fair value as either an asset or a liability and marked to market each reporting period with changes in fair value being charged to earnings.  As of June 30, 2013, we have elected the normal purchase normal sale exemption for these contracts.   As such, we did not recognize the unrealized gains or losses related to these contracts in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, we did not elect this exemption for our open contracts that were settled in the first quarter 2013.
 
In addition, from time to time we may have other financial instruments, such as warrants or embedded debt features, that may be classified as liabilities when either (a) the holders possess rights to net cash settlement, (b) physical or net equity settlement is not in our control, or (c) the instruments contain other provisions that cause us to conclude that they are not indexed to our equity. Such instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through earnings.
 
As a part of the Plan, we issued warrants (see Note 5) that are not considered to be indexed to our equity. Accordingly, these warrants are accounted for as liabilities. In addition, our delayed draw term loan facility contains certain puts that are required to be accounted for as embedded derivatives. The warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.
 
The carrying value of trade accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short term nature. Our

 
 
 
9


long-term debt is recorded on the amortized cost basis. We estimate our long term debt’s fair value to be approximately $80.7 million at June 30, 2013 using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the current yield (5.72%) by reference to market interest rates for term debt of comparable companies which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement (see Note 6).

Accrued Settlement Claims
 
As of June 30, 2013, we have accrued approximately $7.2 million relating to claims resulting from our bankruptcy (See Note 7). Professional fees relating to the settlement of bankruptcy claims are charged to earnings in the period incurred.
 
Income Taxes
 
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard, and to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded.

We recognize in the financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. As a general rule, our open years for Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination purposes are 2010, 2011, and 2012. However, since we have net operating loss carryforwards, the IRS has the ability to make adjustments to items that originate in a year otherwise barred by the statute of limitations under Section 6501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to re-determine tax for an open year to which those items are carried. Therefore, in a year in which a net operating loss deduction is claimed, the IRS may examine the year in which the net operating loss was generated and adjust it accordingly for purposes of assessing additional tax in the year the net operating loss deductions was claimed. Any penalties or interest as a result of an examination will be recorded in the period assessed.

We expect to incur state income tax liabilities as a result of Texadian’s operations.  Texadian operates in states where we have no net operating loss carryovers available to offset taxable income generated within those states.  Accordingly, we have accrued state income tax expense of approximately $0 and $650,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We recognize the cost of share based payments over the period the employee provides service, generally the vesting period, and includes such costs in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations. The fair value of equity instruments issued to employees is measured on the grant date and recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Natural Gas and Oil
 
Revenues are recognized when title to the products transfers to the purchaser. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for our natural gas and oil revenue and recognize sales revenue on all natural gas or oil sold to our purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. As of June 30, 2013, our aggregate natural gas and oil imbalances were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Marketing and Transportation
 
We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met.

Texadian earns revenues from the sale and transportation of oil and the rental of rail cars. Accordingly, revenues and related costs from sales of oil are recorded when title transfers to the buyer.  Transportation revenues are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when risk of ownership transfers to the purchaser, and physical delivery occurs.   Revenues from the rental of railcars are recognized ratably over the lease periods.

Other Income
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other income totaled approximately $770,000 and consists primarily of a state tax refund totaling approximately $483,000 and a legal settlement of approximately $200,000.
 
Foreign Currency Transactions
 
We may, on occasion, enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency (“U.S. $”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in currency exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated are included in foreign currency gains or losses, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the currency exchange rates change.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include fair value of assets and liabilities recorded under fresh start accounting, fair value of assets and liabilities recorded under purchase accounting, natural gas and oil reserves, bad debts, depletion and impairment of natural gas and oil properties, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets, derivatives, asset retirement obligations, contingencies and litigation accruals. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
(3) Investments in Piceance Energy
 
We account for our 33.34% ownership interest in Piceance Energy using the equity method of accounting because we are able to exert significant influence, but do not control the operating and financial policies, and as a result, we do not meet the accounting criteria which require us to consolidate the joint venture. The LLC Agreement provides that its sole manager may make a written capital call such that each member shall make additional capital contributions up to an aggregate combined total capital contribution of $60 million ($20 million to our interest), if approved by a majority of its board. If any member does not fund its share of the capital call, its interest may be reduced or diluted by the amount of the shortfall. In addition, Piceance Energy has a $400 million secured revolving credit facility secured by a lien on its natural gas and oil properties and related assets with a borrowing base currently set at $140 million.  As of June 30, 2013, the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was approximately $91.0 million.  We are guarantors of Piceance Energy’s credit facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of our equity interests of Par Piceance Energy. Under the terms of its credit facility, Piceance Energy is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us.
 
Piceance Energy holds various commodity hedging instruments to mitigate a portion of the effect of natural gas and oil price fluctuations. The contracts are in the form of costless collars of 15,000 MMBtu/day with floors of an average of $3.37 and ceilings of an average of $4.28 with 5,000 MMBtu/day through March 2014 and 10,000 MMBtu/day  through September 2014, and as well as swaps of 10,000 MMBtu/day for an average price of $3.46 through September 2014. Piceance Energy also holds natural gas gathering and processing contracts for a fixed rate expiring on various dates beginning in 2017 through 2032. Some of our contracts require a minimum throughput commitment.

At June 30, 2013, our members’ equity in the underlying net assets of Piceance Energy exceeded the carrying value of our investment recorded on our consolidated balance sheet by approximately $15.7 million. We attribute this difference, which is expected to be permanent, to lack of control and marketability discounts.

(4) Acquisitions
 
SEACOR Energy, Inc

On December 31, 2012, we acquired Texadian, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc., for $14.0 million plus estimated net working capital of approximately $4.0 million at closing resulting in approximately $18.0 million of cash paid at closing. Texadian operates a oil transportation, distribution and marketing business with significant logistics capabilities. We acquired Texadian in furtherance of our growth strategy that focuses on the acquisition of income producing businesses. The purchase price for the acquisition was funded with a combination of cash and additional borrowings under the Tranche B Loan (see Note 5).

 
 
 
13


The purchase was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is defined in ASC 805 as the future economic benefit of other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with Texadian’s, and specifically utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, we recorded certain other identifiable intangible assets. These include relationships with suppliers and shippers and favorable railcar leases. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, which approximates their consumptive life.

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement – Tesoro Corporation
 
On June 17, 2013 (the “Execution Date”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC ("Hawaii Pacific Energy"), entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tesoro Corporation, (the “Seller”) and solely for the purpose set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Tesoro Hawaii, LLC (“Tesoro Hawaii”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy will purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding units representing the membership interests in Tesoro Hawaii (the “Purchased Units”), and indirectly thereby also acquiring Tesoro Hawaii’s wholly owned subsidiary, Smiley’s Super Service, Inc. Tesoro Hawaii owns and operates (i) a petroleum refinery located at the Campbell Industrial Park in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Refinery”), (ii) certain pipeline assets, floating pipeline mooring equipment, and refined products terminals, and (iii) retail assets selling fuel products and merchandise on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii.
 
Set forth below are certain material terms of the Purchase Agreement:
 
Purchase Price and Earnout Payments: Hawaii Pacific Energy has agreed to purchase the Purchased Units for $75.0 million, payable in cash at the closing of the Purchase Agreement, plus or minus adjustments for net working capital, plus adjustments for inventories at closing and plus certain contingent earnout payments of up to $40.0 million. The earnout payments, if any, are to be paid annually following each of the three calendar years beginning January 1, 2014 through the year ending December 31, 2016, in an amount equal to 20% of the consolidated annual gross margin of Tesoro Hawaii in excess of $165.0 million during such calendar years, with an annual cap of $20.0 million. In the event that the Refinery ceases operations or in the event Hawaii Pacific Energy disposes of any facility used in the acquired business, Hawaii Pacific Energy's obligation to make earnout payments could be modified and/or accelerated as provided in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Deposit: As consideration for the Seller’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy made a deposit against the purchase price for the Purchased Units of $25.0 million (the “Deposit”). The Deposit will be returned to Hawaii Pacific Energy in the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated (i) by the mutual agreement of the parties thereto, (ii) in the event of certain breaches by the Seller of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) following a casualty event with an estimated cost of greater than $20.0 million; provided, however, in a casualty event the amount to be returned is reduced by the amount of losses sustained by Seller in the Refinery startup (as described below), including crude purchases.
 
Refinery Startup Activities: Prior to the Execution Date, the Seller had commenced activities to shutdown the Refinery and to convert it into an import terminal. The Purchase Agreement contains certain pre-closing covenants, including covenants related to the startup of operations at the Refinery (the “Refinery Startup Activities”). The expenses associated with the Refinery Startup Activities are currently estimated to be $27.0 million (the “Startup Expenses”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy made a deposit of $15.0 million for the Startup Expenses within seven days of the Execution Date.  The next $5.0 million of Startup Expenses will be borne by the Seller, with all Startup Expenses in excess of $20.0 million to be borne by Hawaii Pacific Energy. Due to the Startup Expenses exceeding $20.0 million, Hawaii Pacific Energy made an additional deposit of $7.0 million for the Startup Expenses on August 5, 2013.  In addition, Hawaii Pacific Energy funded $2.3 million on July 23, 2013 for a major overhaul of a gas turbine engine used in the operations of the refinery's steam cogeneration.  The Seller draws upon the deposit as expenses are incurred.
 
The closing of the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions, and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnifications and guarantees typical for a transaction of this type. The closing of the Purchase Agreement is also conditioned upon (i) the Seller’s completion of the Refinery Startup Activities in all material respects and the

delivery of an operational Refinery, (ii) the Seller’s provision of certain operational software for the benefit of Hawaii Pacific Energy, and (iii) the provision by us to the Seller of reasonable confirmation that Hawaii Pacific Energy's adjusted net worth immediately prior to the closing of the Purchase Agreement shall equal or exceed $150 million. The closing of the Purchase Agreement will take place on the second business day following the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, or on such other date to which the parties thereto may mutually agree.  As of June 30, 2013, Hawaii Pacific Energy has made advances for the Deposit and Startup Expenses totaling $40.0 million, which are reflected as Acquisition Deposits on our consolidated balance sheet. On August 5, 2013, Hawaii Pacific Energy made an additional deposit for Start Up Expenses totaling $7.0 million.
 
Financing Commitments
 
In connection with Hawaii Pacific Energy's entry into the Purchase Agreement and to finance the operations of the business of Tesoro Hawaii after the acquisition, we obtained commitment letters to enter into financing arrangements and commodity swap transactions with certain third party lenders or counterparties, including (i) crude oil supply and intermediation arrangements (involving the purchase, storage, transport, logistics, and related exchange mechanism necessary to facilitate delivery and processing of crude oil and refined product inventory at the Refinery), and (ii) a senior secured asset-based credit facility of up to $125.0 million.
 
Private Offering Commitment
 
In connection with Hawaii Pacific Energy's entry into the Purchase Agreement, we obtained a binding commitment from a group of accredited investors pursuant to which the investors will purchase in the aggregate $200.0 million of our common stock, in a private placement, at a price of $1.39 per share, pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 (5) Debt
 
Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Delta, Ltd., Waterstone Offshore ER Fund, Ltd., Prime Capital Master SPC, GOT WAT MAC Segregated Portfolio, Waterstone Market Neutral MAC51, Ltd., Waterstone Market Neutral Master Fund, Ltd., Waterstone MF Fund, Ltd., Nomura Waterstone Market Neutral Fund, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. and Highbridge International, LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to us in the form of term loans (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) of up to $30.0 million. We borrowed $13.0 million on the Emergence Date in order to, along with the proceeds from the Contribution Agreement, (i) repay the loans and obligations due under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility, and (ii) pay allowed but unpaid administrative expenses to the Debtors related to the Plan.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we borrowed $8.0 million and an additional $9.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 for a total of $17.0 million for general corporate use.  As of June 30, 2013, we have no capacity for future borrowings under this Loan Agreement.
 
Below are certain of the material terms of the Loan Agreement:
 
Interest. At our election, any Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash, quarterly, in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter or (ii) in-kind, accruing quarterly. In addition, all repayments made under the Loan Agreement will be charged a minimum of a 3% repayment premium. Accordingly, we will accrue amounts due for the minimum repayment premium over the term of loan using the effective interest method.
 
At any time after an event of default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.
 
Prepayment. We may prepay Loans at any time, in any amount. Such prepayment is to include all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of the obligations being prepaid through the prepayment date. If at any time within the twelve months following the Emergence Date, we prepay the obligations due, in whole, but not in part, then in addition to the repayment of 100% of the principal amount of the obligations being prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, we are required to pay the interest that would have accrued on the prepaid amount through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date plus a 6% prepayment premium.
 
In addition to the above described prepayment premium, we will pay an additional repayment premium equal to the percentage of the principal repaid during the following periods: 
 
Period
 
Repayment Premium
 
From the Emergence Date through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date
   
3
%
From the day after the first anniversary of the Emergence Date through the second anniversary of the Emergence Date
   
2
%


 
 
 
15




We are also required to make certain mandatory repayments after certain dispositions of property, debt issuances, joint venture distributions from Piceance Energy, casualty events and equity issuances, in each case subject to customary reinvestment provisions. These mandatory repayments are subject to the prepayment premiums described above.
 
The contingent repayments described above are required to be accounted for as an embedded derivative. The estimated fair of the embedded derivative at issuance was approximately $65,000 and was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.
 
Collateral. The Loans and all obligations arising under the Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a perfected, first-priority security interest in all of our assets other than our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, LLC, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries (“Par Piceance Energy Equity”) , pursuant to a pledge and security agreement made by us and certain of our subsidiaries in favor of the Agent, and (ii) a perfected, second-lien security interest in our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, pursuant to a pledge agreement by Par Piceance Energy Equity in favor of the Agent. The priority of the Lenders’ security interest in our assets is specified in that certain intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Agent, as administrative agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Company and Par Piceance Energy Equity.
 
Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Loan Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.
 
Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Agent an annual nonrefundable administrative fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date. In addition, we agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable closing fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date.
 
Warrants. As consideration for granting the Loans, we have also issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase shares of our common stock as described under “– Warrant Issuance Agreement” below.
 
Term. All loans and all other obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement are payable in full on August 31, 2016.
 
Covenants. The Loan Agreement has no financial covenants that we are required to comply with; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations which we were in compliance with at June 30, 2013.
 
Amendment to the Loan Agreement—Tranche B Loan
 
On December 28, 2012, in order to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Texadian Energy, the Loan Parties entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which certain lenders (the “Tranche B Lenders”) agreed to extend additional borrowings to us (the “Tranche B Loan”). The total commitment of the Tranche B Loan of $35.0 million was drawn at closing. In addition to funding a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Texadian, the Tranche B Loan provided cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Facility with Compass Bank (as described below).
 
Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the Tranche B Loan:
 
Interest. At our election, the Tranche B Loan bears interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind. At any time after an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.
 
Prepayment. We may prepay the Tranche B Loan at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Loan.
 
Maturity date. The maturity date is July 1, 2013.
 
Collateral. The Tranche B Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, including Texadian, but excluding our equity interests in Piceance Energy.
 
Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Tranche B Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, including, Texadian.
 
Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate

 
 
 
16


amount of the Tranche B Loan. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loan or, if earlier, the date on which the Tranche B Loan is paid in full. Accordingly, we will accrete amounts due for the nonrefundable exit fee over the term of loan using the effective interest method.
 
On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our Loan Agreement.
 
Set forth below are certain material terms of the Fourth Amendment:
 
Lender Consent to Compressor Disposition. The Lenders agreed that, in connection with the previous sale of our natural gas compressor assets held for sale (see Note 2) (a) 50% of the net cash proceeds are to be applied to pay (i) first, an amendment fee and (ii) second, to repay the Tranche B Loan in accordance with each Tranche B Lender’s pro rata share, and (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds are to be retained by us and used for general corporate purposes.
 
Collateral. The Lenders agreed to the release of their liens and security interests on the assets of Texadian, including a release of any lien on the equity interests of Texadian pledged by us, and a release of Texadian from its guarantee under the Loan Agreement, if necessary. Such releases will only be made in connection with the closing of a definitive trade finance credit facility by Texadian and is subject in all respects to the satisfaction of the conditions to release described in the Fourth Amendment.
 
Mandatory Prepayment. Net cash proceeds of asset dispositions (other than as a result of a casualty), debt issuances and equity issuances can no longer be invested by us, and must be used to prepay the Loan Agreement, other than net cash proceeds from asset sales for fair market value resulting in no more than $150,000 in net cash proceeds per disposition (or series of related dispositions) and less than $300,000 in aggregate net cash proceeds before the Maturity Date.
 
Maturity Date. The Lenders agreed to extend the maturity date of the Tranche B Loan to December 31, 2013.
 
With the execution of the Fourth Amendment, we repaid approximately $1.3 million of the Tranche B Loan.

On June 4, 2013, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to our Loan Agreement allowing us to form a subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy LLC, in furtherance of our acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii.
 
On June 12, 2013, we entered into a Sixth Amendment to our Loan Agreement.
 
Set forth below are certain material terms of the Sixth Amendment:

Capital Contributions. We are permitted to make up to an aggregate amount of $5 million of capital contributions and/or loans to Texadian per year.
 
In connection with Hawaii Pacific Energy's entry into the Purchase Agreement, on June 17, 2013, we entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Loan Agreement.

Lender Consent to Purchase Agreement Guaranty. The Lenders consented to the execution of our guaranty of certain obligations under the Purchase Agreement.
 
On June 24, 2013, we entered into an Eighth Amendment to our Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to refinance and replace the Tranche B Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Eighth Amendment with new Tranche B Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million (the “New Tranche B Loans”). The proceeds from the New Tranche B Loans were applied to prepay in full the Existing Tranche B Loans, to make payments due under the Purchase Agreement, to consummate acquisitions permitted under the Loan Agreement and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the New Tranche B Loans:

 
 
 
17


 
Interest. The New Tranche B Loans will bear interest (a) through September 29, 2013 at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable, at our election, either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind, and (b) from and after September 29, 2013, at a rate equal to 14.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind.
 
At any time after an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.
 
Prepayment. We may prepay the New Tranche B Loans at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the New Tranche B Loans. Amounts to be applied to prepayment of New Tranche B Loans shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest then outstanding and fees then due, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then outstanding.
 
Collateral. The New Tranche B Loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, excluding Texadian, Texadian Energy Canada Limited (“Texadian Canada”), certain of our immaterial subsidiaries, and Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC.
 
Guaranty. All our obligations under the New Tranche B Loans are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.
 
Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the New Tranche B Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the New Tranche B Loans. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loans or, if earlier, the date on which the New Tranche B Loans are paid in full. Accordingly, we will accrete amounts due for the nonrefundable exit fee over the term of loan using the effective interest method.
 
Maturity Date. The New Tranche B Loans mature and are payable in full on August 31, 2016.
 
Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement

On June 12, 2013, Texadian and its wholly owned subsidiary Texadian Canada entered into an uncommitted credit agreement with BNP Paribas, as the initial lender party thereto, and BNP Paribas, as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and as an issuing bank (the “Uncommitted Credit Agreement”). The Uncommitted Credit Agreement provides for loans and letters of credit, on an uncommitted and absolutely discretionary basis, in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50.0 million. Loans and letters of credit issued under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in and lien on substantially all of Texadian’s assets, including, but not limited to, cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, a pledge by Texadian of 65% of its ownership interest in Texadian Canada, and a pledge by us of 100% of our ownership interest in Texadian. Texadian agreed to pay certain fees with respect to the loans and letters of credit made available to it under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement, including an up-front fee, an origination fee, a minimum compensation fee, a collateral audit fee, and fees with respect to letters of credit. The Uncommitted Credit Agreement requires Texadian to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business, and Texadian must comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including among other things, covenants regarding the minimum net working capital and minimum tangible net worth of Texadian. The Uncommitted Credit Facility does not permit, at any time, Texadian’s consolidated leverage ratio to be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 or its consolidated gross asset coverage to be equal to or less than zero.  As of June 30, 2013, Texadian was in compliance with these covenants.

Letter of Credit Facility
 
On December 27, 2012, we entered into a letter of credit facility agreement with Compass Bank, as the lender (the “Compass Letter of Credit Facility”). The Compass Letter of Credit Facility, which matures on December 26, 2013, provides for a letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million that is available for the issuance of cash-collateralized standby letters of credit for us or any of our subsidiaries’ account. Letters of credit issued under the Compass Letter of Credit Facility are secured by an amount of cash pledged and delivered by us to Compass equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit. We agreed to pay a letter of credit fee equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) per annum of the stated face amount of each letter of credit for the number of days such letter of credit is to remain outstanding plus standard and customary administrative fees. The Compass Letter of Credit Facility does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations. As of June 30, 2013, the Compass Letter of Credit Facility has been terminated.
 
In connection with the acquisition of Texadian, Compass Bank issued an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in favor of SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the amount of $11.71 million (the “Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit”). The Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit secured SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the event that either of the following letters of credit is drawn: (i) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Suncor Energy Marketing Inc., with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013; or (ii) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Cenovus Energy Marketing Services Limited, with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013. Those letters of credit have been terminated and released.

Cross Default Provisions
 
Included within each of the Company’s debt agreements are customary cross default provisions that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand should an event of default occur and not be cured within the permitted grace period, if any.
 
Warrant Issuance Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,592,125 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated as of the Emergence Date (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, the holders are entitled to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments from time to time as provided in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation transactions specified in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis.
 
The number of Warrant Shares issued on the Emergence Date was determined based on the number of shares of our common stock issued as allowed claims on or about the Emergence Date by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan. The Warrant Issuance Agreement provides that the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in the event that any additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock (the “Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares”) are authorized to be issued under the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court after the Emergence Date as a result of any unresolved bankruptcy claims under the Plan. Upon each issuance of any Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (x) 147,655,815 and (y) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) 147,655,815 and (2) and the number of additional Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to the number of shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. In the event that any Lender or its affiliates fails to fund its pro rata portion of any Loans required to be made under the Loan Agreement, then the number of Warrant Shares exercisable under the Warrants held by such Lender will be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares initially exercisable under the Warrant held by the Lender and (ii) a fraction equal to one minus the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of Loans previously made under the Loan Agreement by such Lender by (y) such Lender’s full commitment for Loans. From the Emergence Date through June 30, 2013, we issued an additional 1,942,272 Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares. This entitles the Lenders to receive an additional 126,175 Warrant Shares, for a total of 9,718,300 Warrant Shares, based on the formula described above.
 
The Warrant Issuance Agreement includes certain restrictions on the transfer by holders of their Warrants, including, among others, that (i) the Warrants and the notes under the Loan Agreement are not detachable for transfer purposes, and for as long as obligations under the Loan Agreement are outstanding, the notes and Warrants may not be transferred separately, and (ii) in the event that any holder desires to transfer any pro rata portion of the notes and Warrants, then such holder must provide the other Lenders and/or holders of the Warrants with a right of first offer to make an election to purchase such offered notes and Warrants.
 
The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain issuances or sales of shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible securities, or any subdivision, reclassification or combinations of common stock. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, the holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised.

Based on certain anti-dilution provisions in the Warrant Issuance Agreement, we have concluded that the Warrants are not indexed to our equity. Accordingly, we have estimated the fair value of the Warrants on the date of grant to be approximately $6.6 million and recorded the estimated fair value of the Warrants as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of the Loan Agreement, using the effective interest method. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Warrants will be reflected in earnings.

(6) Fair Value Measurements
 
We follow accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. As required, we applied the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the item is valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
 
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
 
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Our policy is to recognize transfer in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. We have consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below for the periods presented. These valuation policies are determined by our Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of third party experts as needed, and approved by our Chief Executive Officer. They are discussed with our Audit Committee as deemed appropriate. Each quarter, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer update the inputs used in the fair value measurement and internally review the changes from period to period for reasonableness. We use data from peers as well as external sources in the determination of the volatility and risk free rates used in our fair value calculations. A sensitivity analysis is performed as well to determine the impact of inputs on the ending fair value estimate.
 
Assets and Liabilities Measure at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
Derivative liabilities associated with our debt agreement – Derivative liabilities include the Warrants and fair value is estimated using an income valuation technique and a Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis, which is considered to be Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis include the stock price of $1.63 per share, initial exercise price $0.01, term of 9.17 years, risk free rate of 2.44%, and expected volatility of 75.29%. The expected volatility is based on the 10 year historical volatilities of comparable public companies. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis, the estimated fair value of the Warrants was $1.67 per share, or approximately $16.2 million, as of June 30, 2013. Since the Warrants were in the money upon issuance, we do not believe that changes in the inputs to the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis will have a

 
 
 
20


significant impact to the value of the Warrants other than changes in the value of our common stock. Increases in the value of our common stock will directly be correlated to increases in the value of the Warrants. Likewise, a decrease in the value of our common stock will result in a decrease in the value of the Warrants.
 
In addition, our Loan Agreement contains mandatory repayments subject to premiums as set forth in the agreement. Factors such as the sale of assets, distributions from our investment in Piceance Energy, issuance of additional debt or issuance of additional equity may result in a mandatory prepayment. We consider the contingent prepayment feature to be an embedded derivative which was bifurcated from the loan and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated using an income valuation technique and a crystal ball forecast. The fair value measurement is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. We do not believe that changes to the inputs in the model would have a significant impact on the valuation of the embedded derivative, other than a change to the estimate of the probability that a triggering event would occur. An increase in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative. Likewise, a decrease in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause a decrease in the value of the embedded derivative. As of June 30, 2013, we do not believe that there is any probability of us repaying the loan prior to maturity; accordingly, we have concluded that the embedded derivative has no value.
 
Derivative instruments – With the acquisition of Texadian, we assumed certain open positions consisting of non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts. These contracts were not treated as normal purchase or normal sales contracts and changes in fair value were recorded in earnings. In addition, we had certain exchange traded oil contracts that settled during the period and had no open positions as of June 30, 2013.  The fair value of our commodity derivatives is measured using the closing market price at the end of the reporting period obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange and from third party broker quotes and pricing providers. As of June 30, 2013, we had no open positions relating to these non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts except for contracts treated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts as discussed in our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Recovery Trusts
 
On the Emergence Date, two trusts were formed, the Wapiti Recovery Trust (the “Wapiti Trust”) and the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (the “General Trust,” and together with the Wapiti Trust, the “Recovery Trusts”). The Recovery Trusts were formed to pursue certain litigation against third-parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties. The Recovery Trusts were funded with $1.0 million each pursuant to the Plan.
 
On September 19, 2012, the Wapiti Trust settled all causes of action against Wapiti Oil & Gas, LLC (“Wapiti Oil & Gas”). Wapiti Oil & Gas made a one-time cash payment in the amount of $1.5 million to the Wapiti Trust, as consideration for the release of claims against it. These proceeds were then distributed to us, along with funds remaining from the initial funding of the Wapiti Trust of approximately $1.0 million. Further distributions are not anticipated from the Wapiti Trust and the Wapiti Trust is anticipated to be liquidated during 2013.
 
The General Trust is pursuing all bankruptcy causes of action not otherwise vested in the Wapiti Trust, claim objections and resolutions, and all other responsibilities for winding-up the bankruptcy. The General Trust is overseen by a three person General Trust Oversight Board and our former Chief Executive Officer is the trustee. Costs, expenses and obligations incurred by the General Trust are charged against assets in the General Trust. To conduct its operations and fulfill its responsibilities under the Plan and the trust agreements, the recovery trustee may request additional funding from us. Any litigation pending at the time we emerged from Chapter 11 was transferred to the General Trust for resolution and settlement in accordance with the Plan and the order confirming the Plan. We are the beneficiary for each of the Recovery Trusts, subject to the terms of the respective trust agreements and the Plan. Since the Emergence Date, the General Trust has filed various claims and causes of action against third parties before the Bankruptcy Court, which actions are ongoing. Upon liquidation of the various claims and causes of action held by the General Trust, the proceeds, less certain administrative reserves and expenses, will be transferred to us. It is unknown at this time what proceeds, if any, we will realize from the General Trust’s litigation efforts.
 
From the Emergence Date through June 30, 2013, the Recovery Trusts have released approximately $5.2 million to us, which is available for our general use, due to a negotiated reduction in certain fees and claims associated with the bankruptcy, as well as a favorable variance in actual expenses versus budgeted expenses. The entire $5.2 million was released prior to December 31, 2012.
 
Shares Reserved for Unsecured Claims
 
The Plan provides that certain allowed general unsecured claims be paid with shares of our common stock. On the Emergence Date, 106 claims totaling approximately $73.7 million had been filed in the bankruptcy. Pursuant to the Plan, between the Emergence Date and December 31, 2012, the Recovery Trustee settled 25 claims with an aggregate face amount of $6.6 million for $258,905 in cash and 202,753 shares of common stock.  Pursuant to the Plan, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Recovery Trustee settled an additional 41 claims with an aggregate face amount of $17.0 million for approximately $2.7 million in cash and 1,739,519 shares of common stock.
 
As of June 30, 2013, it is estimated that a total of 40 claims totaling approximately $50.2 million remain to be resolved by the

Recovery Trustee. The largest remaining proof of claim was filed by the US Government for approximately $22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners, and the Predecessor Company owned a 2.41934% working interest in the unit. In addition, litigation and/or settlement efforts are ongoing with Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as well as other claim holders.

The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 544 shares per $1,000 of claim. At June 30, 2013, we have reserved approximately $7.2 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end.

On April 22, 2013, Texadian entered into a terminaling and storage agreement whereby the operator will provide Texadian with storage facilities, access to a marine terminal and pipelines, and railcar offloading services. The initial term of the agreement is for a period of four years and Texadian’s minimum purchase commitment during the initial term is approximately $28.0 million.
 
As of June 30, 2013, Texadian had various agreements to lease railcars, inland river tank barges and towboats and other equipment. These leasing agreements have been classified as operating leases for financial reporting purposes and the related rental fees are charged to expense over the lease term as they become payable. Leases generally range in duration of five years or less and contain lease renewal options at fair value.

 (8) Stockholders’ Equity
 
Common Stock
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued approximately 1,740,000 shares of our common stock for settlement of bankruptcy claims and approximately 855,000 shares of restricted common stock to certain key employees.
 
Incentive Plan
 
On December 20, 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Par Petroleum Corporation 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, the Board, or a committee of the Board, may issue up to 16 million shares of our common stock, or incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options or restricted stock to our employee or directors, or other individuals providing services to us. In general, the terms of any award issue will be determined by the committee upon grant.
 
On December 31, 2012, a total of 2,191,834 shares of our restricted common stock were granted to members of the Board of Directors and certain key employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, an additional 854,493 shares of our restricted stock were granted to certain key employees. Restricted stock granted to members of the Board vests in full after one year from the date of grant, while most restricted stock granted to employees vests on a pro-rata basis over five years. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the following activity occurred under our Incentive Plan:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized compensation costs of approximately $140,000 and $281,000, respectively, related to the restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2013, there are approximately $3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 4.5 years. The grant date fair value was estimated using the previous 20 days average trading price of our common stock.
 
(9) Income Taxes
 
Under the Plan, our prepetition debt securities, primarily prepetition notes, were extinguished. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. Tax regulations provide that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is the adjusted issue price of any indebtedness discharged less the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of any new indebtedness issued and (iii) the fair market value of any other consideration, including equity, issued. As a result of the market value of our equity upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we were able to retain a significant portion of our NOLs and other “Tax Attributes” after reduction of the Tax Attributes for CODI realized on emergence from Chapter 11 and certain prior interest payments on debt converted to equity. Our NOLs have been reduced by approximately $230 million of CODI as a result of emergence from Chapter 11.
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, the existing equity interests of the Predecessor were extinguished. New equity interests were issued to creditors in connection with the terms of the Plan, resulting in an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Code. Section 382 generally places a limit on the amount of net operating losses and other tax attributes arising before the change that may be used to offset taxable income after the ownership change. We believe however that we will qualify for an exception to the general limitation rules. This exception under Code Section 382(l)(5) provides for substantially less restrictive limitations on our net operating losses; however the net operating losses are eliminated should another ownership change occur within two years. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation places restrictions upon the ability of the equity interest holders to transfer their ownership in us. These restrictions are designed to provide us with the maximum assurance

 
 
 
24


that another ownership change does not occur that could adversely impact our net operating loss carry forwards.
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future results of operations, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, significant book losses during the current and prior periods, and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement of ASC 740 in order to recognize deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013.
 
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits.
 
Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue.  Our NOL carry forwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states.  The states from which Texadian’s revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore we expect to incur state tax liabilities on the net income of Texadian’s operations.  State income tax expense of approximately $0 and $650,000 was recognized for the three and six months ending June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
During 2013 and thereafter, we will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on consideration of actual and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Should actual operating results improve, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered more likely than not to be realizable could be increased.
 
(10) Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average number of shares issuable under the Warrants, representing 9,718,300 shares (see Note 5 and 6). U.S. GAAP requires the inclusion of these Warrants in the calculation of basic EPS because they are issuable for minimal consideration. Non-vested restricted stock is excluded from the computation as these shares are not considered earned until vesting. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Reorganization under Chapter 11
 
On December 16, 2011, Delta Petroleum Corporation (“Delta”) and its subsidiaries Amber Resources Company of Colorado, DPCA, LLC, Delta Exploration Company, Inc., Delta Pipeline, LLC, DLC, Inc., CEC, Inc. and Castle Texas Production Limited Partnership filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On January 6, 2012, Castle Exploration Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Delta Pipeline, LLC, also filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. Delta and its subsidiaries included in the bankruptcy petitions are collectively referred to as the “Debtors.”
 
On December 27, 2011, the Debtors filed a motion requesting an order to approve matters relating to a proposed sale of Delta’s assets, including bidding procedures, establishment of a sale auction date and establishment of a sale hearing date. On January 11, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order approving these matters. On March 20, 2012, Delta announced that it was seeking court approval to amend the bidding procedures for its upcoming auction to allow bids relating to potential plans of reorganization as well as asset sales. On March 22, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the revised procedures.
 
Following the auction, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court to proceed with Laramie Energy II, LLC (“Laramie”) as the sponsor of a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). In connection with the Plan, Delta entered into a non-binding term sheet describing a transaction by which Laramie and Delta intended to form a new joint venture called Piceance Energy, LLC (“Piceance Energy”). On June 4, 2012, Delta entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Piceance Energy and Laramie to effect the transactions contemplated by the term sheet.
 
On June 4, 2012, the Debtors filed a disclosure statement relating to the Plan. The Plan was confirmed on August 16, 2012 and was declared effective on August 31, 2012 (the “Emergence Date”). On the Emergence Date, Delta consummated the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and each of Delta and Laramie contributed to Piceance Energy their respective assets in the Piceance Basin. Piceance Energy is owned 66.66% by Laramie and 33.34% by Delta (referred to after the closing of the transaction as “Successor”). At the closing, Piceance Energy entered into a new credit agreement, borrowed $100 million under that agreement, and distributed approximately $72.6 million net of settlements to the Company and approximately $24.9 million to Laramie. The Company used its distribution to pay bankruptcy expenses and repaid secured debt. The Company also entered into a new credit facility and borrowed $13 million under that facility at closing, and used those funds primarily to pay bankruptcy claims and expenses.
 
Following the reorganization, the Company retained its interest in the Point Arguello Unit offshore California and other miscellaneous assets and certain tax attributes, including significant net operating loss carryforwards. Based upon the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, Delta’s creditors were issued approximately 147.7 million shares of common stock, and Delta’s former stockholders received no consideration under the Plan.
 
Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Contribution Agreement, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement with Laramie that governs the operations of Piceance Energy (the “LLC Agreement”). For a description of this agreement, see “– Piceance Energy – Piceance Energy LLC Agreement” below.
 

 
 
 
29


In addition, Laramie and Piceance Energy entered into a Management Services Agreement pursuant to which Laramie provides certain services to Piceance Energy for a fee of $650,000 per month.
 
On the Emergence Date, Delta also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and changed its name to “Par Petroleum Corporation.” The amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains restrictions that render void certain transfers of our stock that involve a holder of five percent or more of our shares. The purpose of this provision is to preserve certain of our tax attributes that we believe may have value. Under the amended and restated bylaws, the Company’s board of directors has five members, each of whom was appointed by our stockholders pursuant to a Stockholders’ Agreement entered into on the Emergence Date.
 
Fresh Start Accounting and the Effects of the Plan
 
As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), effective as of August 31, 2012, we adopted fresh start accounting following the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 852 “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”). Fresh start accounting results in us becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to August 31, 2012 reflect the operations of Delta prior to reorganization (hereinafter also referred to as “Predecessor”) and are not comparable to consolidated financial statements presented on or after August 31, 2012. Accordingly, certain disclosures relating to the Predecessor’s financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 have been omitted. Fresh start accounting was required upon emergence from Chapter 11 because (i) holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50% of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately before confirmation of the Plan was less than our post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh start accounting results in a new basis of accounting and reflects the allocation of our estimated fair value to underlying assets and liabilities.
 
Piceance Energy
 
Laramie is a Denver-based company primarily focused on finding and developing natural gas reserves from unconventional gas reservoirs within the Rocky Mountain Region. Laramie is backed by equity capital commitments funded by Laramie’s management team, EnCap Investments, Avista Capital, and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners (an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities).
 
All of the assets contributed to Piceance Energy are located within Garfield and Mesa Counties, Colorado and are within a 10-mile radius in the Piceance Basin geologic formation. All of the natural gas and oil reserves contributed to Piceance Energy produce from the same geologic formations, the Mesaverde and Mancos Formations, and some of the contributed acreage is contiguous.
 
Piceance Energy, LLC Agreement
 
In connection with the consummation of the Contribution Agreement, as discussed under “- Reorganization under Chapter 11”, Laramie and Par Piceance Energy Equity LLC, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries (“Par Piceance Energy Equity”), entered into the LLC Agreement. The business of Piceance Energy is to own the natural gas and oil, surface real estate, and related assets formerly owned by Laramie and the Company in Garfield and Mesa Counties, Colorado, or other assets subsequently acquired by Piceance Energy, and to operate such assets. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement, Piceance is managed by Laramie, which controls its day-to-day operations, subject to the supervision of a six-person board, four (4) of which were appointed by Laramie and two (2) of which were appointed by Par Piceance Energy Equity. Certain major decisions require the unanimous consent of the board. The LLC Agreement provides that the sole manager, which is initially Laramie, may make a written capital call such that each member shall make additional capital contributions up to an aggregate combined total capital contribution of $60 million ($20 million to our interest), if approved by a majority of the board. If any member does not fund its share of the capital call, its interest may be reduced or diluted by the amount of the shortfall. The LLC Agreement also contains certain restrictions on transfers by the members of their units. One such restriction provides that in the event one member elects to sell or transfer a majority of its units, the other member may elect to participate in such sale. The LLC Agreement also provides that under certain circumstances, a member desiring to transfer all, but not less than all, of its units may require the other member to participate in such transfer.
 
Piceance Energy Credit Facility
 
On June 4, 2012, Piceance Energy entered into a credit facility, (as amended, the “Piceance Energy Credit Facility”), with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities LLC, each as an arranger, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto. The Piceance Energy Credit Facility is a $400 million secured revolving credit facility secured by a lien on Piceance Energy’s natural gas and oil properties and related assets. Par Piceance Energy Equity and Laramie are each guarantors of the Piceance Energy Credit Facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of the equity interests of Par Piceance Energy Equity and Laramie in Piceance Energy.

 
 
 
30


 
Availability under the Piceance Energy Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $400 million or (ii) the borrowing base in effect from time to time. The initial borrowing base at the Emergence Date was set at $140 million. The borrowing base is determined by the Administrative Agent and the lenders, in their sole discretion, based on customary lending practices, review of the natural gas and oil properties included in the borrowing base, financial review of Piceance Energy, and such other factors as may be deemed relevant. The borrowing base is redetermined (i) on or about March 15 of each year based on the previous December 31 reserve report prepared by an independent engineering firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) on or about September 15 of each year based on the previous June 30 reserve report prepared by Piceance Energy’s internal engineers. The borrowing base was redetermined on March 12, 2013 and set at $140 million. In connection with the consummation of the Contribution Agreement, Piceance Energy borrowed $100 million under the Piceance Energy Credit Facility and distributed approximately $72.6 million of that amount to us and approximately $24.9 million to Laramie. The total amount outstanding under the Piceance Energy Credit Facility of June 30, 2013 is approximately $91.0 million.
 
The Piceance Energy Credit Facility will mature on June 4, 2016. Amounts borrowed bear interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum for Eurodollar loans and the prime rate plus 0.75% to prime rate plus 1.75% per annum for Base Rate loans, depending upon the ratio of outstanding credit to the borrowing base. The agreement contains customary operational and financial covenants, including a current ratio covenant, a total debt to consolidated EBITDAX covenant and a borrowing base covenant. At June 30, 2013, Piceance Energy was in compliance with all such covenants. Under the terms of the Piceance Energy Credit Facility, Piceance Energy is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including Par Piceance Energy Equity.
 
2012 Operations Overview
 
During the first eight months of 2012, we focused on our restructuring while operating as a debtor in possession under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our operations consisted of maintaining and operating existing natural gas and oil properties with no significant exploration or drilling activities. Effective August 31, 2012, we emerged from Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Since then, our operations in 2012 primarily consisted of activities related to our minority ownership interest in Piceance Energy and Texadian Energy, Inc. formerly known as Seacor Energy, Inc. (“Texadian”), which we acquired effective December 31, 2012. A discussion of operations for 2013 follows.

Since the Emergence Date, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operation of Texadian and natural gas and oil properties, acquisitions, professional fees, and bankruptcy expenses. Prior to our bankruptcy filing, our sources of liquidity and capital resources were cash provided through the issuance of debt and equity securities when market conditions permitted, operating activities, sales of natural gas and oil properties, and borrowings under our credit facilities. During bankruptcy proceedings, our principal sources of liquidity and capital resources were borrowings under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility and cash flows from operating activities.
 
Prior to our acquisition of Texadian, our principal asset since the consummation of the Plan and our emergence from bankruptcy was a minority interest in Piceance Energy. Piceance Energy’s primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations and borrowings under the Piceance Energy Credit Facility. Our liquidity is constrained by the restrictions on Piceance Energy’s ability to distribute cash to us under the Piceance Energy Credit Facility, by our need to satisfy our obligations under the Loan Agreement, and by potential capital contributions required to be made by us to Piceance Energy. We expect that the operations of Texadian will provide us with additional liquidity. We also expect to have minimal cash flows from certain assets not contributed to Piceance Energy pursuant to the Contribution Agreement on the Emergence Date.
 
We may be required to fund capital contributions of up to $20 million to Piceance Energy under the LLC Agreement. We expect that our capital contributions will be funded from available cash on hand, advances under the Loan Agreement, and possible equity contributions from certain existing stockholders. If our cash sources are not sufficient to fund our entire capital contribution, then our equity ownership interest in Piceance Energy may be reduced or diluted to the extent of our shortfall.

In addition, as of August 12, 2013, we have funded acquisition deposits of $47.0 million related to our pending acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, LLC.
 
Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Delta, Ltd., Waterstone Offshore ER Fund, Ltd., Prime Capital Master SPC, GOT WAT MAC Segregated Portfolio, Waterstone Market Neutral MAC51, Ltd., Waterstone Market Neutral Master Fund, Ltd., Waterstone MF Fund, Ltd., Nomura Waterstone Market Neutral Fund, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. and Highbridge International, LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to us in the form of term loans (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) of up to $30.0 million. We borrowed $13.0 million on the Emergence Date in order to, along with the proceeds from the Contribution Agreement; (i) repay the loans and obligations due under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility, and (ii) pay allowed but unpaid administrative expenses to the Debtors related to the Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we borrowed $8.0 million and an additional $9.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 for a total of $17.0 million for general corporate use.  As of June 30, 2013, we have no capacity for future borrowings under this Loan Agreement.
 
Below are certain of the material terms of the Loan Agreement:
 
Interest. At our election, any Loans will bear interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash, quarterly, in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter or (ii) in-kind, accruing quarterly. In addition, all repayments made under the Loan Agreement will be charged a minimum of a 3% repayment premium. Accordingly, we will accrue amounts due for the minimum repayment premium over the term of loan using the effective interest method.
 
At any time after an event of default under the Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.
 
Prepayment. We may prepay Loans at any time, in any amount. Such prepayment is to include all accrued and unpaid

 
 
 
34


interest on the portion of the obligations being prepaid through the prepayment date. If at any time within the twelve months following the Emergence Date, we prepay the obligations due, in whole, but not in part, then in addition to the repayment of 100% of the principal amount of the obligations being prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, we are required to pay the interest that would have accrued on the prepaid amount through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date plus a 6% prepayment premium.
 
In addition to the above described prepayment premium, we will pay an additional repayment premium equal to the percentage of the principal repaid during the following periods:

Period
 
Repayment Premium
 
From the Emergence Date through the first anniversary of the Emergence Date
   
3
%
From the day after the first anniversary of the Emergence Date through the second anniversary of the Emergence Date
   
2
%
 
We are also required to make certain mandatory repayments after certain dispositions of property, debt issuances, joint venture distributions from Piceance Energy, casualty events and equity issuances, in each case subject to customary reinvestment provisions. These mandatory repayments are subject to the prepayment premiums described above.
 
The contingent repayments described above are required to be accounted for as an embedded derivative. The estimated fair of the embedded derivative at issuance was approximately $65,000 and was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in earnings.
 
Collateral. The Loans and all obligations arising under the Loan Agreement are secured by (i) a perfected, first-priority security interest in all of our assets other than our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, pursuant to a pledge and security agreement made by us and certain of our subsidiaries in favor of the Agent, and (ii) a perfected, second-lien security interest in our equity interest in Piceance Energy held by Par Piceance Energy Equity, pursuant to a pledge agreement by Par Piceance Energy Equity in favor of the Agent. The priority of the Lenders’ security interest in our assets is specified in that certain intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the First Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Agent, as administrative agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Company and Par Piceance Energy Equity.
 
Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Loan Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.
 
Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Agent an annual nonrefundable administrative fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date. In addition, we agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable closing fee that was earned in full on the Emergence Date.
 
Warrants. As consideration for granting the Loans, we have also issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase shares of our common stock as described under “– Warrant Issuance Agreement” below.
 
Term. All loans and all other obligations outstanding under the Loan Agreement are payable in full on August 31, 2016.
 
Covenants. The Loan Agreement has no financial covenants that we are required to comply with; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations which we are in compliance with at June 30, 2013.
 
Amendment to the Loan Agreement – Tranche B Loan
 
On December 28, 2012, in order to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Texadian (see “–Capital and Exploration Expenditures” below), the Loan Parties entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which certain lenders (the “Tranche B Lendors”) agreed to extend additional borrowings to us (the “Tranche B Loan”). The total commitment of the Tranche B Loan of $35.0 million was drawn at closing. In addition to funding a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Texadian, the Tranche B Loan provided cash collateral for the letter of credit facility with Compass Bank (as described below).
 
Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the Tranche B Loan:
 
Interest. At our election, the Tranche B Loan bears interest at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind.At any time after an event of default has occurred and is continuing, (i) all outstanding obligations will,

to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 11.75% and (ii) all interest accrued and accruing will be payable in cash on demand.
 
Prepayment. We may prepay the Tranche B Loan at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B Loan.
 
Collateral. The Tranche B Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, including Texadian, but excluding our equity interests in Piceance Energy.
 
Guaranty. All of our obligations under the Tranche B Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors, including, Texadian.
 
Maturity date. The maturity date is July 1, 2013.
 
Fees and Commissions. We agreed to pay the Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount of the Tranche B Loan. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loan or, if earlier, the date on which the Tranche B Loan is paid in full. 
 
On April 19, 2013, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to our Loan Agreement.
 
Set forth below are certain material terms of the Fourth Amendment:
 
Lender Consent to Compressor Disposition. The Lenders agreed that, in connection with the previous sale of our natural gas compressor assets held for sale (a) 50% of the net cash proceeds are to be applied to pay (i) first, an amendment fee and (ii) second, to repay the Tranche B Loan in accordance with each Tranche B Lender’s pro rata share, and (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds are to be retained by us and used for general corporate purposes.
 
Collateral. The Lenders agreed to the release of their liens and security interests on the assets of Texadian, including a release of any lien on the equity interests of Texadian pledged by us, and a release of Texadian from its guarantee under the Loan Agreement, if necessary. Such releases will only be made in connection with the closing of a definitive trade finance credit facility by Texadian and is subject in all respects to the satisfaction of the conditions to release described in the Fourth Amendment.
 
Mandatory Prepayment. Net cash proceeds of asset dispositions (other than as a result of a casualty), debt issuances and equity issuances can no longer be invested by us, and must be used to prepay the Loan Agreement, other than net cash proceeds from asset sales for fair market value resulting in no more than $150,000 in net cash proceeds per disposition (or series of related dispositions) and less than $300,000 in aggregate net cash proceeds before the Maturity Date.
 
Maturity Date. The Lenders agreed to extend the maturity date of the Tranche B Loan to December 31, 2013.
 
With the execution of the Fourth Amendment, we repaid approximately $1.3 million of the Tranche B Loan.

On June 4, 2013, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to our Loan Agreement allowing us to form a subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC ("Hawaii Pacific Energy"), in furtherance of our acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii.

On June 24, 2013, we entered into an Eighth Amendment to our Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to refinance and replace the Tranche B Loans outstanding immediately prior to the Eighth Amendment with new Tranche B Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $65.0 million (the “New Tranche B Loans”). The proceeds from the New Tranche B Loans were  applied to prepay in full the Existing Tranche B Loans, to make payments due under the Purchase Agreement (see Note 5), to consummate acquisitions permitted under the Loan Agreement and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
Set forth below are certain of the material terms of the New Tranche B Loans:
 
Interest. The New Tranche B Loans will bear interest (a) through September 29, 2013 at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable, at our election, either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind, and (b) from and after September 29, 2013, at a rate equal to 14.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind.

We may prepay the New Tranche B Loans at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the New Tranche B Loans. Amounts to be applied to prepayment of New Tranche B Loans shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest then outstanding and fees then due, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then outstanding.

The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loans or, if earlier, the date on which the Tranche B Loans are paid in full. Accordingly, we will accrete amounts due for the nonrefundable exit fee over the term of loan using the effective interest method.
 
Maturity Date. The Tranche B Loans mature and are payable in full on August 31, 2016.
 
Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement
 
On June 12, 2013, Texadian and its wholly owned subsidiary Texadian Canada entered into an uncommitted credit agreement with BNP Paribas, as the initial lender party thereto, and BNP Paribas, as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and as an issuing bank (the “Uncommitted Credit Agreement”). The Uncommitted Credit Agreement provides for loans and letters of credit, on an uncommitted and absolutely discretionary basis, in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50.0 million. Loans and letters of credit issued under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in and lien on substantially all of Texadian’s assets, including, but not limited to, cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, a pledge by Texadian of 65% of its ownership interest in Texadian Canada, and a pledge by us of 100% of our ownership interest in Texadian. Texadian agreed to pay certain fees with respect to the loans and letters of credit made available to it under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement, including an up-front fee, an origination fee, a minimum compensation fee, a collateral audit fee, and fees with respect to letters of credit. The Uncommitted Credit Agreement requires Texadian to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business, and Texadian must comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including among other things, covenants regarding the minimum net working capital and minimum tangible net worth of Texadian. The Uncommitted Credit Facility does not permit, at any time, Texadian’s consolidated leverage ratio to be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 or its consolidated gross asset coverage to be equal to or less than zero. As of June 30, 2013, Texadian was in compliance with these covenants.

Letter of Credit Facility
 
On December 27, 2012, we entered into a letter of credit facility agreement with Compass Bank, as the lender (the “Compass Letter of Credit Facility”). The Compass Letter of Credit Facility, which matures on December 26, 2013, provides for a letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million that is available for the issuance of cash-collateralized standby letters of credit for us or any of our subsidiaries’ account. Letters of credit issued under the Compass Letter of Credit Facility are secured by an amount of cash pledged and delivered by us to Compass equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit. We agreed to pay a letter of credit fee equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) per

 
 
 
37


annum of the stated face amount of each letter of credit for the number of days such letter of credit is to remain outstanding plus standard and customary administrative fees. The Compass Letter of Credit Facility does not contain any financial covenants; however, it does require us to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting our business and operations. As of June 30, 2013, the Compass Letter of Credit Facility has been terminated.

In connection with the acquisition of Texadian, Compass Bank issued an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in favor of SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the amount of $11.71 million (the “Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit”). The Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit secured SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the event that either of the following letters of credit is drawn: (i) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Suncor Energy Marketing Inc., with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013; or (ii) the letter of credit issued by DNB Bank, ASA in favor of Cenovus Energy Marketing Services Limited, with an original maturity date of February 5, 2013. Those letters of credit have been terminated and released.
 
Warrant Issuance Agreement
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,592,125 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated as of the Emergence Date (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, the holders are entitled to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments from time to time as provided in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation transactions specified in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis.
 
The number of Warrant Shares issued on the Emergence Date was determined based on the number of shares of our common stock issued as allowed claims on or about the Emergence Date by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the Plan. The Warrant Issuance Agreement provides that the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in the event that any additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock (the “Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares”) are authorized to be issued under the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court after the Emergence Date as a result of any unresolved bankruptcy claims under the Plan. Upon each issuance of any Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be (x) 147,655,815 and (y) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (1) 147,655,815 and (2) and the number of additional Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to the number of shares determined by multiplying (A) the number of Warrant Shares which could be obtained upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. In the event that any Lender or its affiliates fails to fund its pro rata portion of any Loans required to be made under the Loan Agreement, then the number of Warrant Shares exercisable under the Warrants held by such Lender will be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares initially exercisable under the Warrant held by the Lender and (ii) a fraction equal to one minus the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of Loans previously made under the Loan Agreement by such Lender by (y) such Lender’s full commitment for Loans. From the Emergence Date through June 30, 2013, we issued an additional 1,942,272 Unresolved Bankruptcy Shares. This entitles the Lenders to receive an additional 126,175 Warrant Shares, for a total of 9,718,300 Warrant Shares, based on the formula described above.
 
The Warrant Issuance Agreement includes certain restrictions on the transfer by holders of their Warrants, including, among others, that (i) the Warrants and the notes under the Loan Agreement are not detachable for transfer purposes, and for as long as obligations under the Loan Agreement are outstanding, the notes and Warrants may not be transferred separately, and (ii) in the event that any holder desires to transfer any pro rata portion of the notes and Warrants, then such holder must provide the other Lenders and/or holders of the Warrants with a right of first offer to make an election to purchase such offered notes and Warrants.
 
The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain issuances or sales of shares of the Company’s common stock and convertible securities, or any subdivision, reclassification or combinations of common stock. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, the holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from a net loss of approximately $14.0 million offset by non-cash charges to operations of approximately $19.2 million and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $6.7 million. Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $13.2 million. The operations of the two periods are not comparable due to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy and the application of fresh start accounting effective August 31, 2012 and our acquisition of Texadian effective December 31, 2012.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related acquisition deposits made of $40.0 million, capitalized drilling costs and additions to property and equipment totaling approximately $377,000, partially offset by proceeds of the sale of our assets held for sale of approximately $2.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $352,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and was related to additions to property and equipment.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was from additional net borrowings under our Loan Agreement totaling approximately $43.5 million and the release of approximately $19.0 million from restricted cash held to secure letters of credit. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.0 million.
 
Capital and Exploration Expenditures
 
Our capital and exploration expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled approximately $377,000.
 
Additional capital may be required to maintain our interests at our Point Arguello Unit offshore California, but this is currently unestimatable. Furthermore, we may be required as part of our equity investment in Piceance Energy to contribute up to an aggregate of approximately $20.0 million if approved by the majority of its board of directors. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.
 
On December 31, 2012, we acquired Texadian, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc., for approximately $14.0 million plus estimated net working capital of approximately $4.0 million at closing. Texadian operates an oil sourcing, marketing, transportation, distribution and marketing business with significant logistics capabilities in historical pipeline shipping status, a railcar fleet and tow and barge chartering. We acquired Texadian in furtherance of our growth strategy that focuses on the acquisition of income producing businesses.
 
Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
 
On June 17, 2013 (the “Execution Date”), our wholly owned subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tesoro Corporation, (the “Seller”) and solely for the purpose set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Tesoro Hawaii, LLC. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy will purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding units representing the membership interests in Tesoro Hawaii (the “Purchased Units”), and indirectly thereby also acquiring Tesoro Hawaii’s wholly owned subsidiary, Smiley’s Super Service, Inc. Tesoro Hawaii owns and operates (i) a petroleum refinery located at the Campbell Industrial Park in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Refinery”), (ii) certain pipeline assets, floating pipeline mooring equipment, and refined products terminals, and (iii) retail assets selling fuel products and merchandise on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii.
 
Set forth below are certain material terms of the Purchase Agreement:
 
Purchase Price and Earnout Payments: Hawaii Pacific Energy has agreed to purchase the Purchased Units for $75.0 million, payable in cash at the closing of the Purchase Agreement, plus or minus adjustments for net working capital, plus adjustments for inventories at closing and plus certain contingent earnout payments of up to $40.0 million. The earnout payments, if any, are to be paid annually following each of the three calendar years beginning January 1, 2014 through the year ending December 31, 2016, in an amount equal to 20% of the consolidated annual gross margin of Tesoro Hawaii in excess of $165.0 million during such calendar years, with an annual cap of $20.0 million. In the event that the Refinery ceases operations or in the event Hawaii Pacific Energy disposes of any facility used in the acquired business, Hawaii Pacific Energy's obligation to make earnout payments could be modified and/or accelerated as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

Deposit: As consideration for the Seller’s entry into the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy made a deposit against the purchase price for the Purchased Units of $25.0 million (the “Deposit”). The Deposit will be returned to Hawaii Pacific Energy in the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated (i) by the mutual agreement of the parties thereto, (ii) in the event of certain breaches by the Seller of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) following a casualty event with an estimated cost of greater than $20.0 million; provided, however, in a casualty event the amount to be returned is reduced by the amount of losses sustained by Seller in the Refinery startup (as described below), including crude purchases.
 
Refinery Startup Activities: Prior to the Execution Date, the Seller had commenced activities to shutdown the Refinery and to convert it into an import terminal. The Purchase Agreement contains certain pre-closing covenants, including covenants related to the startup of operations at the Refinery (the “Refinery Startup Activities”). The expenses associated with the Refinery Startup Activities are currently estimated to be $27.0 million (the “Startup Expenses”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Hawaii Pacific Energy made a deposit of $15.0 million for the Startup Expenses within seven days of the Execution Date. The next $5 million of Startup Expenses will be borne by the Seller, with all Startup Expenses in excess of $20.0 million to be borne by Hawaii Pacific Energy. Due to the Startup Expenses exceeding $20.0 million, Hawaii Pacific Energy made an additional deposit of $7.0 million for the Startup Expenses on August 5, 2013. In addition, Hawaii Pacific Energy funded $2.3 million on July 23, 2013 for a major overhaul of a gas turbine engine used in the operations of the refinery’s steam cogeneration.  The Seller draws upon the deposit as expenses are incurred.
 
The closing of the Purchase Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions, and contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnifications and guarantees typical for a transaction of this type. The closing of the Purchase Agreement is also conditioned upon (i) the Seller’s completion of the Refinery Startup Activities in all material respects and the delivery of an operational Refinery, (ii) the Seller’s provision of certain operational software for the benefit of us, and (iii) the provision by us to the Seller of reasonable confirmation that Hawaii Pacific Energy's adjusted net worth immediately prior to the closing of the Purchase Agreement shall equal or exceed $150 million. The closing of the Purchase Agreement will take place on the second business day following the satisfaction of the closing conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, or on such other date to which the parties thereto may mutually agree. As of June 30, 2013, Hawaii Pacific Energy have made advances for the Deposit and Startup Expenses totaling $40.0 million, which are reflected as Acquisition Deposits on our consolidated balance sheet. On August 5, 2013, Hawaii Pacific Energy made an additional deposit for Start Up Expenses totaling $7.0 million.
 
Financing Commitments
 
In connection with Hawaii Pacific Energy's entry into the Purchase Agreement and to finance the operations of the business of Tesoro Hawaii after the acquisition, we obtained commitment letters to enter into financing arrangements and commodity swap transactions with certain third party lenders or counterparties, including (i) crude oil supply and intermediation arrangements (involving the purchase, storage, transport, logistics, and related exchange mechanism necessary to facilitate delivery and processing of crude oil and refined product inventory at the Refinery), and (ii) a senior secured asset-based credit facility of up to $125.0 million.
 
Private Offering Commitment
 
In connection with Hawaii Pacific Energy's entry into the Purchase Agreement, we obtained a binding commitment from a group of accredited investors pursuant to which the investors will purchase in the aggregate $200.0 million of our common stock, in a private placement, at a price of $1.39 per share, pursuant to the exemptions from registration provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 Commitments and Contingencies
 
On the Emergence Date, two trusts were formed, the Wapiti Trust and the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (the “General Trust,” and together with the Wapiti Trust, the “Recovery Trusts”). The Recovery Trusts were formed to pursue certain litigation against third-parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties. The Recovery Trusts were funded with $1 million each pursuant to the Plan.
 
On September 19, 2012, the Wapiti Trust settled all causes of action against Wapiti Oil & Gas, LLC (“Wapiti Oil & Gas”). Wapiti Oil & Gas made a one-time cash payment in the amount of $1.5 million to the Wapiti Trust, as consideration for the release of claims against it. These proceeds were then distributed to us, along with funds remaining from the initial funding of the Wapiti Trust of approximately $1.0 million. Further distributions are not anticipated from the Wapiti Trust and the Wapiti Trust is anticipated to be liquidated during 2013.
 
The General Trust is pursuing all bankruptcy causes of action not otherwise vested in the Wapiti Trust, claim objections and resolutions, and all other responsibilities for winding-up the bankruptcy. The General Trust is overseen by a three person General Trust Oversight Board and our former Chief Executive Officer is the trustee. Costs, expenses and obligations incurred by the General Trust are charged against assets in the General Trust. To conduct its operations and fulfill its responsibilities under the Plan and the trust agreements, the recovery trustee may request additional funding from us. Any litigation pending at the time we emerged from Chapter 11 was transferred to the General Trust for resolution and settlement in accordance with the Plan and the order confirming the Plan. We are the beneficiary for each of the Recovery Trusts, subject to the terms of the respective trust agreements and the Plan. Since the Emergence Date, the General Trust has filed various claims and causes of action against third

 
 
 
40


parties before the Bankruptcy Court, which actions are ongoing. Upon liquidation of the various claims and causes of action held by the General Trust, the proceeds, less certain administrative reserves and expenses, will be transferred to us. It is unknown at this time what proceeds, if any, we will realize from the General Trust’s litigation efforts.
 
From the Emergence Date through June 30, 2013, the Recovery Trusts have released approximately $5.2 million to us, which is available for our general use, due to a negotiated reduction in certain fees and claims associated with the bankruptcy, as well as a favorable variance in actual expenses versus budgeted expenses. The entire $5.2 million was released prior to December 31, 2012.
 
The Plan provides that certain allowed general unsecured claims be paid with shares of our common stock. On the Emergence Date, 105 claims totaling approximately $73.7 million had been filed in the bankruptcy. Pursuant to the Plan, between the Emergence Date and December 31, 2012, the Recovery Trustee settled 25 claims with an aggregate face amount of $6.6 million for $258,905 in cash and 202,753 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Recovery Trustee settled an additional 41 claims with an aggregate face amount of $17.0 million for approximately $2.7 million in cash and 1,739,519 shares of common stock.
 
As of June 30, 2013, it is estimated that a total of 40 claims totaling approximately $50.2 million remain to be resolved by the Recovery Trustee. The largest remaining proof of claim was filed by the US Government for approximately $22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners, and the Predecessor Company owned a 2.41934% working interest in the unit. In addition, litigation and/or settlement efforts are ongoing with Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., as well as other claim holders.

The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 544 shares per $1,000 of claim. At June 30, 2013, we have reserved approximately $7.2 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end.

On April 22, 2013, Texadian entered into a terminaling and storage agreement whereby the operator will provide Texadian with storage facilities, access to a marine terminal and pipelines, and railcar offloading services. The initial term of the agreement is for a period of four years and Texadian’s minimum purchase commitment during the initial term is approximately $28.0 million.
 
As of June 30, 2013, Texadian had various agreements to lease railcars, inland river tank barges and towboats and other equipment. These leasing agreements have been classified as operating leases for financial reporting purposes and the related rental fees are charged to expense over the lease term as they become payable. Leases generally range in duration of five years or less and contain lease renewal options at fair value.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein. We have identified certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates, including those related to fresh start accounting adjustments, natural gas and oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies and litigation, and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Derivatives and Other Financial instruments

We may periodically enter into commodity price risk transactions to manage our exposure to natural gas and oil price volatility. These transactions may take the form of non-exchange traded fixed price forward contracts and exchange traded futures contracts, collar agreements, swaps or options. The purpose of the transactions will be to provide a measure of stability to our cash flows in an environment of volatile commodity prices.

Texadian enters into fixed-price forward purchase and sale contracts for crude oil. The contracts typically contain settlement provisions in the event of a failure of either party to fulfill its commitments under the contract.  Texadian’s policy is to fulfill or accept the physical delivery of the product, even if shipment is delayed, and it will not net settle.  Should Texadian not designate a contract as a normal purchase or normal sale or should a scheduled delivery under the terms of contract not occur, then these exceptions may require the recording of a derivative.  If derivative accounting treatment is required then these contracts would be recorded at fair value as either an asset or a liability and marked to market each reporting period with changes in fair value being charged to earnings.  As of June 30, 2013, we have elected the normal purchase or normal sale exemption for these derivative instruments.   As such, we did not recognize the unrealized gains or losses related to these designated derivative instruments in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, we did not elect this exemption for its open contracts that were settled in the first quarter 2013.
 
In addition, from time to time we may have other financial instruments, such as warrants or embedded debt features, that may be classified as liabilities when either (a) the holders possess rights to net cash settlement, (b) physical or net equity settlement is not in our control, or (c) the instruments contain other provisions that cause us to conclude that they are not indexed to our equity. Such instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through earnings.
 
As a part of the Plan, we issued warrants (see Note 5) that are not considered to be indexed to our equity. Accordingly, these warrants are accounted for as liabilities. In addition, our delayed draw term loan facility contains certain puts that are required to be accounted for as embedded derivatives. The warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.
 
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate
 
Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but do not control the operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of net income of these entities is recorded as income (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
 
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors assessed for the reporting unit would include the competitive environments and financial performance of the reporting unit. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a two-step quantitative test is required. If required, we will review the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, based upon a multiple of estimated earnings. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment indicator exists and an estimate of the impairment loss is calculated. The fair value calculation uses Level 3 (see “Fair Value Measurements” below) inputs and includes multiple assumptions and estimates, including the projected cash flows and discount rates applied. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could result in goodwill impairment that could materially adversely impact our financial position or results of operations.

We evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets when impairment indicators are present or when circumstances indicate that impairment may exist under authoritative guidance. When we believe impairment indicators may exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use of and eventual disposition of the intangible assets are prepared. If the projections indicate that their carrying values are not recoverable, we reduce the carrying values to fair value. These impairment tests are heavily influenced by assumptions and estimates that are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
 
Our natural gas and oil assets, including our investment in our unconsolidated affiliate, are reviewed for impairment quarterly or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections.
 
 For proved properties, if the expected future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows, an impairment exists and is measured by the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Any impairment provisions recognized are permanent and may not be restored in the future.
 
We assess proved properties on an individual field basis for impairment each quarter when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. For proved properties, the review consists of a comparison of the carrying value of the asset with the asset’s expected future undiscounted cash flows without interest costs.
 
For unproved properties, the need for an impairment charge is based on our plans for future development and other activities impacting the life of the property and our ability to recover our investment. When we believe the costs of the unproved property are no longer recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded based on the estimated fair value of the property.

Fair Value Measurements
 
We follow accounting guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. As required, we applied the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities for which the item is valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 – Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
 
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
 
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Our policy is to recognize transfer in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. We have consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below for the periods presented. These valuation policies are determined by our Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of third party experts as needed, and approved by our Chief Executive Officer. They are discussed with our

 
 
 
43


Audit Committee as deemed appropriate. Each quarter, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer update the inputs used in the fair value measurement and internally review the changes from period to period for reasonableness. We use data from peers as well as external sources in the determination of the volatility and risk free rates used in our fair value calculations. A sensitivity analysis is performed as well to determine the impact of inputs on the ending fair value estimate.
 
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
 
Derivative liabilities associated with our debt agreement – Derivative liabilities include the Warrants and fair value is estimated using an income valuation technique and a Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis, which is considered to be Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis include the stock price of $1.63 per share, initial exercise price $0.01, term of 9.17 years, risk free rate of 2.44%, and expected volatility of 75.29%. The expected volatility is based on the 10 year historical volatilities of comparable public companies. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis, the estimated fair value of the Warrants was $1.67 per share, or approximately $16.2 million, as of June 30, 2013. Since the Warrants were in the money upon issuance, we do not believe that changes in the inputs to the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis will have a significant impact to the value of the Warrants other than changes in the value of our common stock. Increases in the value of our common stock will directly be correlated to increases in the value of the Warrants. Likewise, a decrease in the value of our common stock will result in a decrease in the value of the Warrants.
 
In addition, our Loan Agreement contains mandatory repayments subject to premiums as set forth in the agreement. Factors such as the sale of assets, distributions from our investment in Piceance Energy, issuance of additional debt or issuance of additional equity may result in a mandatory prepayment. We consider the contingent prepayment feature to be an embedded derivative which was bifurcated from the loan and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated using an income valuation technique and a crystal ball forecast. The fair value measurement is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. We do not believe that changes to the inputs in the model would have a significant impact on the valuation of the embedded derivative, other than a change to the estimate of the probability that a triggering event would occur. An increase in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative. Likewise, a decrease in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause a decrease in the value of the embedded derivative. As of June 30, 2013, we do not believe that there is any probability of us repaying the loan prior to maturity; accordingly, we have concluded that the embedded derivative has no value.
 
Derivative instruments – With the acquisition of Texadian, we assumed certain open positions consisting of non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts. These contracts were not treated as normal purchase or normal sales contracts and changes in fair value were recorded in earnings. In addition, we had certain exchange traded oil contracts that settled during the period and had no open positions as of June 30, 2013.  The fair value of our commodity derivatives is measured using the closing market price at the end of the reporting period obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange and from third party broker quotes and pricing providers. As of June 30, 2013, we had no open positions relating to these non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts except for contracts treated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts as discussed in our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Income Taxes
 
Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, the existing equity interests of the Predecessor were extinguished. New equity interests were issued to creditors in connection with the terms of the Plan, resulting in an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Code. Section 382 generally places a limit on the amount of net operating losses and other tax attributes arising before the change that may be used to offset taxable income after the ownership change. We believe however that it will qualify for an exception to the general limitation rules. This exception under Code Section 382(l)(5) provides for substantially less restrictive limitations on our net operating losses; however the net operating losses are eliminated should another ownership change occur within two years. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation places restrictions upon the ability of the equity interest holders to transfer their ownership in the Company. These restrictions are designed to provide us with the maximum assurance that another ownership change does not occur that could adversely impact our net operating loss carry forwards.
   
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future results of operations, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, significant book losses during the current and prior periods, and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement of ASC 740 in order to recognize deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013.
 
 Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our net operating loss carry forwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which Texadian’s revenues are derived are not the same states in which our net operating losses were incurred; therefore we expect to incur state tax liabilities on the net income of Texadian’s operations. State income tax

 
 
 
45


expense of approximately $0 and $650,000 was recognized for the three and six months ending June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
We will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a go forward basis taking into account actual and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Should actual operating results improve, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered more likely than not to be realizable could be increased.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Natural Gas and Oil
 
Revenues are recognized when title to the products transfers to the purchaser. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for our natural gas and oil revenue, so that we recognize sales revenue on all natural gas or oil sold to our purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. As of March 31, 2013, our aggregate natural gas and oil imbalances were not material to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Marketing and Transportation
 
We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Texadian earns revenues from the sale and transportation of oil, and the rental of rail cars. Accordingly, revenues and related costs from sales of oil are recorded when title transfers to the buyer.  Transportation revenues are recognized upon fulfillment of the contract.   Revenues from the rental of railcars are recognized ratably over the lease periods.
 
 
Market Rate and Price Risk
 
Revenues from our natural gas and oil business are derived from the sale of our natural gas and oil production. Based on projected annual sales volumes for 2013, a 10% decline in the estimated average prices we expect to receive for our natural gas and oil production would have an approximate $0.7 million impact on our estimated 2013 natural gas and oil revenues, or approximately $0.5 million for the remainder of 2013.
 
Texadian enters and settles positions in various exchange traded commodity swap and future contracts. Texadian also enters into exchange traded positions to protect its inventory balances from market changes. As of June 30, 2013, we had no open positions relating to exchange derivative positions.
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In performing this evaluation, management reviewed the selection, application and monitoring of our historical accounting policies. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2013, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and not designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis, due to the existence of material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2012 as discussed below.
 
Prior to December 31, 2011, the Company filed for voluntary bankruptcy and during the duration of the proceedings, the Company’s ability to maintain effect internal control over financial reporting was weakened due to a high amount of turnover of its accounting staff. Because of the high turnover and low number of accounting personnel available, the Company was not able to timely file its Form 10-K as of December 31, 2011. Management concluded that internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 was not effective. As of August 31, 2012, the Company emerged from bankruptcy and replaced the operations and financial reporting functions with a new accounting group. During the fourth quarter of 2012, management performed a comprehensive assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. While performing the review of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over final reporting, control gaps were identified in internal control and related processes that require remediation to be performed in order for management to conclude that internal control

 
 
 
46


over final reporting is effective in preventing the financial statements and related disclosures from being materially misstated. The internal control gap remediation to be performed by management was not completed as of December 31, 2012. Additionally, while completing our December 31, 2012 year end close process, adjustments were identified relating to the application of fresh start accounting that impacted the amounts, presentation of the financial statements and related disclosures previously reported at September 30, 2012 in our related Form 10-Q. Because of the items mentioned above, management concluded that material weaknesses exist in the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
 
As of June 30, 2013, we believe these material weaknesses remain present and until our material weaknesses are remediated, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As part of our remediation efforts, we have contracted with experienced financial and accounting consultants to assist with our financial close and other accounting matters and in the preparation of the financial statements and related accounting and reporting disclosures. We are evaluating other remediation alternatives and efforts are in progress, however any contemplated changes to our internal control over financial reporting have not been implemented.
 
 In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financing reporting.
 
 
 
 
From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of our business. As of the date of this report, no legal proceedings are pending against us that we believe individually or collectively could have a materially adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Any litigation pending at the time we emerged from Chapter 11 was transferred to the Trust for resolution and settlement. See Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.
 
 
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The representations, warranties and indemnification obligations of Tesoro Corporation in the Purchase Agreement are limited; as a result, the assumptions on which our estimates of future results contemplated by the Purchase Agreement have been based may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways, resulting in our not realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, if completed.

The representations and warranties of Tesoro Corporation contained in the Purchase Agreement are limited.  In addition, the agreement provides limited indemnities. As a result, the assumptions on which our estimates of future results of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement have been based may prove to be incorrect in a number of material ways, resulting in our not realizing the expected benefits of the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, including anticipated increased cash flows.

Acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, if completed, may prove to be worth less than we paid because of uncertainties in evaluating potential liabilities.

Our recent growth is due in large part to acquisitions, such as the acquisitions of Texadian and, if completed, Tesoro Hawaii. We expect acquisitions, such as the acquisitions of Texadian and, if completed, Tesoro Hawaii, to be instrumental to our future growth. Successful acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors, including estimates of potential unknown and contingent liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. In connection with our assessments, we perform due diligence reviews of acquired companies and their businesses that we believe are generally consistent with industry practices. However, such reviews will not reveal all existing or potential problems. In addition, our reviews may not permit us to become sufficiently familiar with potential environmental problems or other contingent and unknown liabilities that may exist or arise. We performed such a due diligence review in connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, but there may be unknown and contingent liabilities related to Tesoro Hawaii and its business of

which we are unaware. We could be liable for unknown obligations relating to the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, if completed, for which indemnification is not available, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flow.

We may have difficulty integrating and managing the growth associated with our recent acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii.
 
Our recent acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, if completed, is expected to result in a significant growth in our assets and revenues and may place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational, and administrative resources. We may not be able to integrate the operations of Tesoro Hawaii without increases in costs, losses in revenues, or other difficulties. In addition, we may not be able to realize the operating efficiencies, synergies, costs savings, or other benefits expected from the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii. Any unexpected costs or delays incurred in connection with such integration could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We believe our general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2013 will increase due to the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, including integrating the acquired business, and adding refining capabilities. We have hired or intend to hire additional new employees that we expect will be required to manage the business of Tesoro Hawaii and plan to add resources as needed as we scale up our business. However, we may experience difficulties in finding the additional qualified personnel. In an effort to stay on schedule with our planned activities, we intend to supplement our staff with contract and consultant personnel until we are able to hire new employees. Our ability to continue to grow after this acquisition will depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to identify and acquire new acquisition targets, our ability to continue to retain and attract skilled personnel, the results of our acquisition efforts, and access to capital. We may not be successful in achieving or managing growth and any such failure could have a material adverse effect on us.

 
Pursuant to the Plan, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Recovery Trustee settled an additional 11 claims with an aggregate face amount of $3.7 million for approximately $2.0 million in cash and 16,408 shares of stock. See Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein. The Company’s common stock was issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, which exempts the issuance of securities from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
As long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Loan Agreement, we are prohibited from paying any dividends.
