UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

 

Property Acquisition

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the historical financial statements of Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company” and “Black Ridge”) adjusted on a pro forma basis to give effect to its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of oil and natural gas properties (the “Acquired Properties”) from CP Exploration, LP (“CPX”). On December 13, 2013, the Company acquired oil and natural gas properties from CPX for approximately $20.6 million, net of purchase price adjustments and subject to post-closing adjustments. The Acquired Properties are comprised of leasehold interests in approximately 2,040 net mineral acres in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and interests in 43 gross (0.92 net) producing wells on the acquired leases.

 

Amended and Restated Credit Agreements

 

The acquisition of the Acquired Properties was funded with borrowings from our credit agreements (the “Black Ridge Credit Agreements”). On December 13, 2013 we amended the Black Ridge Credit Agreements to facilitate the acquisition.

 

Our credit agreement with Cadence Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) (the “Senior Credit Facility”) was amended (the “Amendment”) to add properties acquired in the Acquisition to the mortgage and increases the borrowing base from $7,000,000 to $18,000,000. In addition, the Amendment provides that, for purposes of determining compliance with financial covenants, the Company’s EBITDAX for the third and fourth quarters of 2013 will be subject to pro forma adjustment to include EBITDAX results for the third and fourth quarters of 2013 attributable to properties acquired in the Acquisition. Finally, the Amendment revises the Collateral Coverage Ratio to be not less than 1.25 to 1.0 as of the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2013 in order to be consistent with the Subordinated Credit Facility.

 

Our credit agreement with Chambers Energy Management, LP, as administrative agent (“Chambers”), and several other lenders (the “Subordinated Credit Facility”) was amended (the “Subordinated Credit Amendment”) to provide that, for purposes of determining compliance with certain financial covenants, Consolidated EBITDA will be subject to pro forma adjustments for (i) the actual earnings derived from properties acquired or disposed of in a material transaction as permitted under the credit agreement, as if the material transaction occurred on the first day of the applicable determination period and (ii) the actual earnings derived from the properties acquired under the Acquisition as if such Acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2013. In addition, the Amendment changes the reference to the amount under the First Lien Carve Out from $10,000,000 to $18,000,000.

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 is based on the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2013. The pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2013.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the acquisition of the Acquired Properties include the use of estimates and assumptions as described in the related notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available to management at the time these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable and the significant effects of the transaction are properly reflected. However, the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings) from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring that could result from the acquisition of the Acquired Properties. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations exclude the impact of non-recurring expenses the Company has incurred or will incur as a result of the acquisition of the Acquired Properties and related financing, primarily non-capitalizable banking and legal fees.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or to be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the transactions described above been completed as of the dates set forth in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and should not be taken as indicative of the Company’s future results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and actual results. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying footnotes, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the unaudited Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the audited Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 for the Acquired Properties, both included in this current report, and other information that the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
