NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

On September 6, 2013, Emerald Oil, Inc. and its subsidiary, Emerald WB LLC (together “Emerald”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with USG Properties Bakken II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company sold to Buyer on the same date certain non-operated North Dakota and Montana oil and gas properties, leasehold mineral interests and related assets (the “Assets”) for aggregate cash consideration of $110 million, subject to customary adjustments. Under the Purchase Agreement, the transaction was given economic effect as of April 1, 2013 such that all proceeds and certain customary operational costs and expenses attributable to the Assets will be apportioned between Emerald and Buyer based on such date.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities by Emerald and Buyer. The Purchase Agreement also provides for potential post-closing adjustments based on title and environmental diligence to be conducted by Buyer between the closing date and December 31, 2013, subject to Emerald’s right to cure any identified title and environmental defects.  Buyer placed $11 million of the purchase price into an escrow account to be held by the escrow agent pending completion of the title and environmental diligence process.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is based on the historical balance sheet of Emerald, giving effect to the asset sale as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2013. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 are based on Emerald’s historical statements of operations, giving effect to the asset sale as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2012. The historical information is derived from Emerald’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the unaudited financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for information purposes only and are based on estimates and assumptions as set forth in the notes to such statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected in any future period or the results that actually would have been realized had the transaction been completed as of the dates set forth in this unaudited pro forma financial information. This information should be read in conjunction with Emerald’s historical financial statements and related notes in conjunction with the accompanying notes to these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

2. Sale Price

 

The Transaction was accounted for under the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 932 relating to “Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas”. Under the full cost method, sales of oil and natural gas properties, whether or not being amortized, shall be accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to the cost center. The sale represents greater than 25 percent of Emerald’s proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to the cost center. As a result, there is a significant alteration in the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to the cost center. Total capitalized costs within the cost center are allocated on the basis of the relative fair values of the properties sold and those retained due to substantial economic differences between the properties sold and those retained. Following this methodology with the information and circumstances available as of the date of the unaudited pro forma financial statements and if the asset sale closed on June 30, 2013, the following table represents an estimated net sales price allocation of the transaction (in thousands):

 

 
 

 

Sale price  $111,090 
Add: disposition of asset retirement obligations   309
Less: sale expenses   (1,000)
Sale price, net  $110,399 
      
Proved oil and natural gas properties  $151,926 
Accumulated depletion   (65,930)
Unproved oil and natural gas properties   13,568 
Gain on sale   10,835 
Sale price, net  $110,399 

 

The calculated gain on the sale for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements is not an indication of the gain recorded for book purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Many factors affect the gain calculation during the period between the dates set forth in this unaudited pro forma financial information and the date of the transaction. These factors include, but are not limited to, development on sold and retained oil and natural gas properties, acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties, dispositions of proved oil and natural gas properties and other transactions that affect the capitalized costs within the cost center or fair market value of those retained oil and natural gas properties.

 

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

The preceding unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations have been prepared as if the asset sale closed on June 30, 2013 and January 1, 2012, respectively, and reflect the following pro forma adjustments:

 

(a)To reflect the sales price cash consideration, less transaction expenses, resulting gain, disposition of asset retirement obligations and charges to the full cost pool and unproved cost assets in accordance with the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations based on the relative fair values of the sold and retained properties in accordance with ASC 932 as if the transaction had closed on June 30, 2013.

 

(b)To adjust revenue recognized on properties included in the asset sale as if the transaction had closed on January 1, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

(d)To adjust production taxes recognized on properties included in the asset sale as if the transaction had closed on January 1, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

(e)To adjust depletion expenses recognized on properties included in the asset sale as if the transaction had closed on January 1, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

(f)To adjust accretion expenses recognized on properties included in the asset sale as if the transaction had closed on January 1, 2012 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
