Reef Oil & Gas Drilling and Income Fund, L.P.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

September 30, 2014

 

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed financial statements of Reef Oil & Gas Drilling and Income Fund, L.P. (the “Partnership”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We have recorded all transactions and adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). The adjustments are normal and recurring. The following notes describe only material changes in accounting policies, accounting details, or financial statement notes during the first nine months of 2014. Therefore, please read these unaudited condensed financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements together with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements contained in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

While the Partnership was formed in September 2012, the Partnership did not raise any capital from investors or conduct any business prior to September 2013. On September 4, 2013, the SEC declared the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172846) effective for the Partnership’s public offering, pursuant to which the Partnership filed a prospectus dated September 16, 2013 and commenced the offering of Partnership units. As of September 30, 2013, the Partnership had not sold any Partnership units, and had no assets, liabilities, or net worth at September 30, 2013. Therefore, there is no comparable data for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.

 

2. Acquisitions

 

On September 18, 2014, the Partnership entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Arbol Resources, Inc. (“Arbol”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership agreed to purchase from Arbol certain oil and gas working interests in LaSalle and Frio Counties, Texas (the “Purchased Interests”) for an initial price of $11.25 million, subject to certain adjustments, including (i) adjustments for certain liabilities incurred on and revenues generated by the Purchased Interests since April 1, 2014 and (ii) certain adjustments related to environmental and title defects discovered by the Partnership prior to closing the acquisition. The Purchased Interests include working interests in 67 producing oil and gas wells, five wells that have been drilled or are being drilled, but have not yet been completed, and an estimated 108 drilling locations on which wells may be drilled in the future, each of which are located in the Eagle Ford Shale. The Partnership expects that drilling activities on the properties will be conducted over approximately seven years, with the exact timing of such drilling activities to be determined by the operator, and that estimated drilling and development costs of the 108 undrilled locations, net to the Partnership, will total approximately $20 million over the drilling period.

 

On October 14, 2014, the Partnership and Arbol completed the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $11.9 million. In connection with the transaction, the Partnership entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) and a related Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A., as lender. The Partnership initially borrowed $2.0 million under the terms of the Credit Agreement, and paid from its available cash approximately $9.9 million for the Purchased Interests.

 

3. Summary of Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Offering Costs

 

Organization and offering costs total 15% of investor capital contributions, except for units purchased by the managing general partner, which are purchased net of the 15% cost. Partnership organization costs totaling $50,000 were expensed in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. Offering costs represent costs incurred in conjunction with the offering of partnership units. These costs, totaling $510,000 and $1,527,165 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively, have been recorded as a reduction of the proceeds of the offering.

Table of Contents

 

Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful, as well as unsuccessful, exploration and development activities are capitalized.  Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized oil and gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method using estimated proved reserves.  For these purposes, proved natural gas reserves are converted to barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) at a rate of 6 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas to 1 barrel of oil (“Bbl’). Under the full cost method of accounting, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded unless such disposition would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

 

In applying the full cost method, the Partnership performs a quarterly ceiling test on the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, whereby the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are limited to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves using prices that are the preceding 12-month un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for crude oil and natural gas held constant and discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, if any. If capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, and is shown as a reduction of oil and gas properties and as property impairment expense on the Partnership’s statements of operations. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership recognized no property impairment expense of proved properties.

 

Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending determination of the existence of proved reserves. Of the six wells drilled but not yet tested on the oil and gas lease located in McKenzie County, North Dakota in which the Partnership owns a working interest (known as the “Archer Property”) at December 31, 2013, one was classified as unproved property. Three of the seven undrilled well locations on the Federal oil and gas lease in McKenzie County, North Dakota in which the Partnership owns a working interest (known as the “Riverside Property”), are classified as unproved property at December 31, 2013.  During the first quarter of 2014, the unproved well on the Archer Property tested positive for crude oil and natural gas, and all six Archer Property wells began producing during April 2014. Costs associated with the Archer Property unproved well were transferred to and classified as proved properties on the Partnership’s balance sheet during the first quarter of 2014. Unproved properties are assessed for impairment quarterly as of the balance sheet date. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining primary lease term; drilling results and activity in the immediate area of the property; the holding period of the property; and geological and geophysical evaluation. To the extent that the assessment indicates a property is impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties which are subject to the quarterly ceiling test. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership recognized no property impairment of unproved properties.

 

Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

 

Estimates of the Partnership’s proved reserves at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are prepared and presented in accordance with SEC rules and accounting standards which require SEC reporting entities to prepare their reserve estimates using pricing based upon the un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity prices over the preceding 12-month period and end of period costs. Future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than these prices and costs, which would impact the estimate of reserves and future cash flows.

 

Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows will impact the Partnership’s depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion and impairment are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. If proved reserve estimates decline, the rate at which depletion expense is recorded increases, reducing net income. A decline in estimated proved reserves and future cash flows also reduces the capitalized cost ceiling and may result in increased impairment expense.

Restoration, Removal, and Environmental Liabilities

 

The Partnership is subject to extensive Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefit are expensed.

 

Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted values unless the timing of cash payments for the liability or component is fixed or reliably determinable.

 

The Partnership has recognized an estimated liability for future plugging and abandonment costs. A liability for the estimated fair value of the future plugging and abandonment costs is recorded with a corresponding increase in the full cost pool at the time a new well is drilled or acquired.  Depreciation expense associated with estimated plugging and abandonment costs is recognized in accordance with the full cost methodology.

 

The Partnership estimates a liability for plugging and abandonment costs based on historical experience and estimated well life.  The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate.  Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in well plugging and abandonment costs or well useful lives, or if Federal or state regulators enact new well restoration requirements. The Partnership recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the well.

 

The following table summarizes the Partnership’s asset retirement obligation for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, subscriptions receivable from partners, accounts receivable from affiliates, accounts payable to affiliates, and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Partnership has no items of comprehensive income other than net income in any period presented. Therefore, net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations equals comprehensive income.

 

4. Transactions with Affiliates

 

The Partnership has no employees. Reef Exploration, L.P. (“RELP”), an affiliate of Reef Oil & Gas Partners, L.P. (“Reef”), the managing general partner of the Partnership, employs a staff including geologists, petroleum engineers, landmen and accounting personnel who administer all of the Partnership’s operations. The Partnership reimburses RELP for technical and administrative services at cost. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, the Partnership incurred technical services and general and administrative costs totaling $23,457 and $71,531, respectively. Of these amounts, $1,413 and $23,845 represent technical services capitalized as project costs, and $22,044 and $47,686 represent administrative costs included as general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of operations.

Table of Contents

 

RELP processes joint interest billings and revenue payments on behalf of the Partnership. At September 30, 2014, RELP owed the Partnership $359,121 for net revenues processed in excess of joint interest and technical and administrative charges. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership owed RELP $350,539 for joint interest and technical and administrative charges processed in excess of net revenues. The cash associated with net revenues processed by RELP is normally received by RELP from oil and gas purchasers 30-60 days after the month to which the revenues pertain. The Partnership settles its balances with Reef and RELP on at least a quarterly basis.

 

The Partnership must make payments totaling 15% of the Partnership’s subscriptions from investor partners to Reef as a management fee to cover organization and offering costs, including sales commissions. Reef purchases its units net of the 15% management fee. Accounts payable to affiliates as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 includes $26,250 and $216,750 for the unpaid portion of the 15% management fee due Reef. These balances were paid to Reef during October 2014 and January 2014, respectively.

 

The Partnership had subscriptions receivable from partners at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 totaling $100,000 and $100,000, respectively. The Partnership had received these partner subscription documents and funds as of the end of the respective period. After review of the subscription documents, the partners were approved for admittance to the Partnership, and these funds were deposited into the Partnership’s escrow account in October 2014 and January 2014, respectively. The funds are reflected as a receivable until deposited into the Partnership’s escrow account.

 

The Partnership has a receivable from Reef at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 totaling $7,343 and $43,578, respectively, related to its required capital contribution. At December 31, 2013 Reef had an obligation to purchase at least 1% of total Partnership units, and, in addition, to contribute an amount equal to 1% of the net capital of the Partnership after payment of all organization and offering cost.  During March 2014, Reef increased its obligation to purchase Partnership units to a minimum of 5% of total Partnership units. During March 2014, Reef calculated the additional units required to be purchased such that, as of March 31, 2014, Reef would satisfy the 5% minimum investment level in regard to all Partnership units issued as of that date. No change was made to the 1% net capital contribution requirement.  Reef has subsequently paid these balances to the Partnership.

 

5. Partnership Equity

 

The offering period for units of Partnership interest began on September 16, 2013 and terminates on June 30, 2015, unless the Partnership is fully subscribed or Reef terminates the offering prior to that date. Proceeds received were placed into an interest bearing escrow account until the Partnership reached the minimum subscription level of 10 units required for the escrow agent to fund the Partnership on December 10, 2013. Subsequent to that date, additional proceeds are placed into the same interest bearing escrow account and funded on a weekly basis to the Partnership. Reef is obligated to purchase at least 5% of the total outstanding Partnership units and to contribute an amount equal to 1% of the net capital of the Partnership after payment of all organization and offering costs.

 

All units except those purchased by Reef or Reef affiliates pay a 15% management fee to Reef to pay for Partnership organization and offering costs, including sales commissions.  From the inception of the offering through September 30, 2014, the Partnership had raised $12,706,100 from the sale of 80.2010 units of general partner interest and 46.8600 units of limited partner interest to investor partners. Reef contributed $568,431 in connection with its obligation to purchase 6.6874 units of general partner interest (5%) and contributed $114,835 in connection with its obligation to contribute 1% of total net capital contributions to the Partnership after payment of all organization and offering costs. Offering costs totaling $1,855,915 were netted from capital contributions, leaving net capital contributions of $11,533,451. Organization costs of $50,000 were expensed, leaving $11,483,451 available for Partnership activities.

6. Subsequent Event

 

We have evaluated subsequent events through the filing date on this Form 10-Q and determined the following subsequent event that requires recognition in the notes. On October 14, 2014, in connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Interests from Arbol, the Partnership entered into a Credit Agreement and a related Promissory Note with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (“Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving commitment of up to the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement (the “Borrowing Base”), subject to the terms and limitations described below. The Borrowing Base is determined at the sole discretion of the Lender in accordance with its customary practices and standards and shall never exceed $100.0 million. At October 14, 2014, the Borrowing Base was equal to $4.0 million. The Borrowing Base is reduced monthly by $50,000, unless otherwise re-determined by the Lender in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Borrowing Base is subject to semi-annual redetermination by the Lender. The commitment under the Credit Agreement terminates, and the Promissory Note matures, on October 14, 2017. Any unpaid principal and interest becomes due and payable on that date.

 

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at the lessor of (i) a base rate plus 2.0% or (ii) the highest lawful interest rate permitted in the State of Texas. The base rate is equal to the greater of (a) the U.S. prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal’s “Money Rates” table or (b) 3.0%. The Partnership will incur quarterly loan commitment fees under the Credit Agreement at a rate of 0.5% per annum on the unused Borrowing Base.

 

On October 14, 2014 the Partnership paid the Lender a facility fee of $40,000 and is obligated to further pay, upon each determination of an increase in the borrowing base, a facility fee in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the amount by which the Borrowing Base is increased over the $4,000,000 in effect on October 14, 2014. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the assets of the Partnership and mortgages on properties valued at no less than 90% of the discounted value of the Partnership’s oil and gas properties used in determining the Borrowing Base.

 

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including among others:

Table of Contents

 

·                  restrictions on liens;

·                  restriction on incurring other indebtedness without the lenders’ consent;

·                  restrictions on distributions and other restricted payments;

·                  maintenance of a current ratio as of the end of each fiscal quarter of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, as adjusted; and

·                  maintenance of an interest coverage ratio of cash flow to fixed charges as of the end of each fiscal quarter, to be at least 3.0 to 1.0.

 

All outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement become due and payable upon the occurrence of certain usual and customary events of default, including among others;

 

·                  failure to make payments under the Credit Agreement

·                  non-performance of covenants and obligations beyond any applicable grace period; and

·                  the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

In connection with the acquisition of the Purchased Interests from Arbol on October 14, 2014, the Partnership borrowed $2.0 million under the Credit Agreement.

Overview

 

Reef Oil & Gas Drilling and Income Fund, L.P. is a Texas limited partnership formed to drill and own interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States with a primary focus on the Bakken area in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale area in Texas. The primary purpose of the Partnership is to generate revenue from the production of crude oil and natural gas, distribute cash to the partners, and provide the tax benefits that are available to those that drill for and produce crude oil and natural gas. The majority of the Partnership’s capital derived from the offering has been or will be used for lease and property acquisition costs, intangible drilling and development costs, and well completion costs.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Partnership purchased two leases in McKenzie County, North Dakota, referred to herein as the Archer Property and the Riverside Property, respectively, which are expected to provide the Partnership with working interests in up to thirteen wells. Drilling operations on six of the wells in the Archer Property were completed during the fourth quarter of 2013, and all six of these wells were placed into production during April 2014.

 

The Partnership expects seven additional wells to be drilled on the Riverside Property. Drilling operations on the Riverside Property were originally expected to begin during 2014. The well operator has obtained the required drilling permits from the State of North Dakota. However, the drilling unit contains Federal leases, and the operator has not received Federal approval. The delay is the result of recent proposed Federal rules which would place two species of butterfly on the endangered species list and designate approximately 39,000 acres of grassland, including some of the acreage on the Riverside Property, as a butterfly habitat. The operator is currently unable to estimate when or if the proposed Federal rules will be implemented, and when drilling might occur. The Partnership has an oil and gas lease with a ten year term which it purchased in 2013.

 

The Partnership expects to operate solely in the United States. The Partnership did not make any property acquisitions during the first nine months of 2014, however, the Partnership completed an acquisition of certain oil and gas working interests (the Purchased Interests) in LaSalle and Frio Counties, Texas from Arbol during October 2014 as described in Note 2 and Note 6 of the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements included with this Form 10-Q filing. The Purchased Interests include working interests in 67 producing oil and gas wells, five wells that have been drilled or are being drilled, but have not yet been completed, and an estimated 108 drilling locations on which wells may be drilled in the future, each of which are located in the Eagle Ford Shale.

 

The Partnership plans to continue its offering period through June 2015.  The actual number, identity, and percentage of working interest in leases and wells to be acquired by the Partnership in the future will depend upon the amount of capital raised by the Partnership.

 

Originally, the Partnership did not anticipate a need to borrow funds during the period of time it was raising and expending the initial capital raised by the Partnership. However, in order to close the Purchase Agreement entered into with Arbol, the Partnership was required to borrow funds due to the purchase price exceeding the Partnership’s current cash on hand as of the October 14, 2014 closing date. The Partnership anticipates maintaining the current Credit Agreement in case additional purchase opportunities present themselves for which the Partnership does not have sufficient cash on hand at closing. However, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, in no case will the Partnership allow total borrowings to exceed 25% of the aggregate capital contributions to the Partnership without investor partner approval.

 

Crude oil and natural gas revenues from successful wells, net of operating, general and administrative, debt service and other costs are expected to be distributed to the partners. The Partnership is allowed to borrow funds in accordance with the Partnership Agreement, or utilize cash flows from successful wells in order to acquire additional properties and conduct drilling operations on those properties, or to conduct drilling operations for the purpose of further developing existing Partnership properties. Upon the termination of the Partnership offering period, Reef estimates that it will take up to an additional twenty-four months until all Partnership capital raised is expended or committed to projects.

Table of Contents

 

Although the Partnership is not prohibited from participating in the drilling of exploratory wells, the Partnership has and will focus primarily on the acquisition of producing properties with associated developmental drilling opportunities, and upon the acquisition of leases with developmental drilling locations.

 

The Partnership actively seeks participation as a minority non-operated working interest owner in leases, prospects, and drilling projects developed and operated by other independent and major oil and gas industry partners.  Such participation will allow the Partnership to benefit from the expertise of those entities and increase the diversity of its investment properties, potentially decreasing the overall drilling risk to the investors.

 

The Partnership does not operate in any other industry segment. The Partnership’s Partnership Agreement allows borrowings from banks, Reef, or any Reef affiliate of up to 25% of the aggregate capital contributions to the Partnership without investor approval, and allows borrowings in excess of 25% of the total capital contributions to the Partnership with the consent of investor partners. Loans made available by Reef or its affiliates will not earn interest in excess of the current rate charged by independent third parties. In no case will the Partnership borrow funds unless the lender agrees that it will have no recourse against the individual investor partners.  As a result of the Partnership borrowing funds in order to close the Purchase Agreement transaction with Arbol, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2014, the Partnership will be subject to the interest rate risk inherent in borrowing activities. Changes in interest rates could significantly affect the Partnership’s results of operations and the amount of net cash flow available for partner distributions.

 

The Partnership is permitted to engage, but is currently not engaged in, commodity futures trading or hedging activities, and therefore is subject to commodity price risk.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Partnership is funded with capital contributions from investor partners and the managing general partner. The managing general partner will purchase a minimum of 5% of total partnership units and in addition, contribute an amount equal to 1% of the net capital of the Partnership after payment of all organization and offering costs. At September 30, 2014, cumulative capital contributions totaled $13,389,366. The Partnership raised $12,706,100 from the sale of 80.2010 units of general partner interest and 46.8600 units of limited partner interest to investor partners. Reef contributed $568,431 in connection with its obligation to purchase 6.6874 units of general partner interest (5%) and contributed $114,835 in connection with its obligation to contribute 1% of total net capital contributions to the Partnership after payment of all organization and offering costs. Offering costs totaling $1,855,915 were netted from capital contributions, leaving net capital contributions of $11,533,451. Organization costs of $50,000 were expensed leaving $11,483,451 available for Partnership activities. The Partnership was formed on September 6, 2012, but did not raise any capital from investors or conduct any business until September 16, 2013, the date of the Partnership’s prospectus. Partnership units are expected to be offered for sale through June 30, 2015.

 

The Partnership had working capital of $10,824,422 at September 30, 2014, which will be used primarily for the acquisition of undeveloped leases and for producing properties which are believed to have additional developmental drilling opportunities.

 

Net cash flow from crude oil and natural gas sales revenues, less operating, general and administrative, debt service and other costs is expected to be distributed to investors. The Partnership currently holds working interests in six wells drilled on its Archer property that began production operations during April 2014. The Partnership received the initial cumulative oil and gas sales revenues from these six Archer Property wells from the operator in November 2014, and expects distributions to investor partners to begin in November 2014. The Partnership also expects to receive oil and gas sales revenues from the producing Arbol Property wells prior to year end, and will begin distribution of those funds in the month following their receipt.

 

Until the offering is terminated and the Partnership expends all of the capital raised during the offering, it is not known whether additional borrowings will be required for additional acquisitions or developmental activities. Should the Partnership require additional funds for investment, those funds may come from current net cash flows that would otherwise be distributed to the partners, from the sale of Partnership properties, or from borrowings. The Partnership Agreement prohibits the imposition of additional assessments to the investor partners.

The estimated net proved crude oil and natural gas reserves as of September 30, 2014 are summarized below. The Partnership had no proved reserves at September 30, 2013. Proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discussed in this section include only the amounts which the Partnership can estimate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in future years from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Proved reserves include only quantities that the Partnership expects to be recoverable commercially using current prices, costs, existing regulatory practices, and technology. Therefore, any changes in future prices, costs, regulations, technology or other unforeseen factors could materially increase or decrease the proved reserve estimates.

Three months ended September 30, 2014

 

The Partnership had net income of $111,048 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 attributable primarily to revenues generated by the six Archer Property wells during the three month period ended September 30, 2014, which exceeded operating and general and administrative costs.

 

The Partnership had sales revenues of $235,991 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. These revenues are associated with production from the six Archer Property wells, which began production operations in late April 2014.

 

General and administrative costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 totaled $34,736. Approximately $11,000 of these costs were professional services costs for the quarterly review of the Partnership’s financial statements and for services related to XBRL mapping and filing of reports with the SEC. The remaining costs represent other general and administrative expenses, primarily legal costs and administrative overhead. The allocation of RELP’s overhead to the Partnership is a significant portion of general and administrative expenses. The allocation of RELP’s overhead to various partnerships to which it provides services is based upon several factors, including the level of drilling activity, revenues, and capital and operating expenditures of each partnership compared to the total levels of all partnerships. The administrative overhead charged by RELP to the Partnership totaled $16,630 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014

 

The Partnership had net income of $140,555 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 attributable primarily to revenues generated by the six Archer Property wells during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 which exceeded operating and general and administrative costs.

 

The Partnership had sales revenues of $441,839 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. Approximately 6.9% of these revenues are associated with the testing phase of the six Archer Property wells which occurred in late January and early February 2014. The remaining approximately 93.1% of sales revenues are associated with actual production operations which began in late April 2014.

 

General and administrative costs for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 totaled $135,372. Approximately $45,000 of these costs were professional services costs for the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the Partnership’s financial statements and for services related to XBRL mapping and filing of reports with the SEC.  The remaining costs represent other general and administrative expenses, primarily legal costs and administrative overhead. Legal fees totaled approximately $11,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 which related to reporting requirements for the quarterly reviews and annual audits. The allocation of RELP’s overhead to the Partnership is a significant portion of general and administrative expenses. The allocation of RELP’s overhead to various partnerships to which it provides services is based upon several factors, including the level of drilling activity, revenues, and capital and operating expenditures of each partnership compared to the total levels of all partnerships. The administrative overhead charged by RELP to the Partnership totaled $31,363 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

On September 4, 2013, the SEC declared the Partnership’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172846) effective for the Partnership’s public offering of limited partner and general partner interests, subsequent to which the Partnership filed a prospectus dated September 16, 2013 and commenced the offering of Partnership units. The offering period is currently open, and will terminate on June 30, 2015, unless the Partnership is fully subscribed or Reef terminates the offering prior to that date. All sales of Partnership units are made through the offering’s dealer manager, Reef Securities, Inc., and a number of soliciting dealers. During the offering period, the Partnership is authorized to sell up to 2,250 units of partner interest at a price of $100,000 per unit, for a maximum offering amount of $225,000,000. The Partnership is offering a maximum of 1,912.25 units of general partner interest ($191,225,000) and a maximum of 337.75 units of limited partner interest ($33,775,000).
