Tellurian Investments Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Tellurian Investments Inc. (“Tellurian Investments” or “Successor”), formerly PLX Holdings LLC, was organized under Delaware law as a limited liability company on December 29, 2015, filed for conversion from a limited liability company to a privately-held Delaware corporation on February 23, 2016, and incurred less than five hundred dollars of costs related to its formation at inception.
Tellurian Investments owns a 100% membership interest in Tellurian LNG LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tellurian LNG”), a 100% membership interest in Tellurian Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a 100% ownership interest in Tellurian LNG UK Ltd. (“Tellurian LNG UK”). Tellurian LNG owns a 100% membership interest in Driftwood LNG LLC and Driftwood LNG Pipeline LLC ("Driftwood pipeline"). Tellurian Investments is planning on developing, through Tellurian LNG and Tellurian LNG’s wholly owned subsidiaries, a liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) facility with liquefaction capacity of 26 million tonnes per annum on a single site in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (“Driftwood LNG”). Tellurian LNG UK had no operations from inception through June 30, 2016.
On June 3, 2016 Tellurian Investments, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Driftwood LNG LLC entered into an option agreement (the “Option”) for certain tracts of land and associated river frontage in connection with the Land Acquisition. The Option provides for an approximately three and one half year option period whose exercise would provide for a 20-year lease term with six additional five-year extension options (see “Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies”).
On April 13, 2016, Tellurian Investments entered into a ground lease (the “Lease”) for a port facility adjacent to its Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana land providing for a four-year term, subject to a 50-year extension exercisable at the option of Tellurian Investments (see “Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies”).
On March 24, 2016, Tellurian Investments purchased certain tracts of land in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (the “Land Acquisition”), for a total consideration of $10 million, of which $9 million was paid in cash at closing and an additional $1 million is due in December 2016. Transaction costs related to this purchase totaled $39 thousand.
At this time, the liabilities of Tellurian Investments, other than those arising from the Land Acquisition, the Lease, the Option and property plant and equipment are obligations related to organizational and operating expenses, primarily for management, investment banking, legal and accounting services.
Tellurian Services LLC, formerly known as Parallax Services LLC (“Tellurian Services” or the “Predecessor”), organized under Delaware law as a limited liability company, was formed on December 18, 2013. Tellurian Services was formed primarily to engage in LNG-specific consulting services as well as back-office and general and administrative support services to Parallax Enterprises LLC ("Parallax Enterprises") and Parallax Energy LLC ("Parallax Energy") (see “Note 4, Transactions with Related Parties”).
On April 9, 2016 Tellurian Investments acquired Tellurian Services in an all-stock transaction with consideration totaling $1.234 million and acquisition costs of approximately $30 thousand (“the acquisition”). Tellurian Services has been deemed to be the accounting predecessor in this transaction (see “Note 3, Acquisition”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded prospectively.

Interim financial statements
The condensed consolidated Successor financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and condensed Predecessor financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Tellurian Investments considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and typically exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generated primarily from cost reimbursements as a result of back-office and general and administrative support services with related parties. Tellurian Investments routinely reviews outstanding balances, assesses the financial strength of its customers, and records a reserve for amounts not expected to be fully recovered. Tellurian Investments has not provided an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management’s expectations that all receivables will be fully collected. The need for an allowance is determined based upon reviews of individual accounts, historical losses, existing economic conditions and other pertinent factors. No bad debt expense was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2016 or the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Transactions with Related Parties
Tellurian Investments has receivables with related parties as a result of back-office and general and administrative support services provided and payables as a result of timing of deposits made in advance of services to be provided. Tellurian Investments does not consider the accounts or notes receivable from related parties to be uncollectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Tellurian Investments maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels. Tellurian Investments has not incurred losses related to these balances to date.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and general and administrative activities are expensed as incurred. Tellurian Investments depreciates property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in operating expenses.
Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value.
At June 30, 2016, property plant and equipment consisted primarily of land, buildings, leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment. At December 31, 2015 property plant and equipment consisted primarily of leasehold improvements related to Tellurian Services’ office lease, office furniture and equipment (see “Note 6, Property, Plant and Equipment”).

Income Taxes  
Tellurian Investments accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Tellurian Investments recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such determination, Tellurian Investments considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, Tellurian Investments begins with historical results adjusted for the results of changes in accounting policies and Tellurian Investments incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income. The assumptions Tellurian Investments uses are consistent with the plans and estimates Tellurian Investments uses to manage the underlying businesses. If Tellurian Investments determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, Tellurian Investments would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Tellurian Investments recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC 740, and adjusts those liabilities when judgments change as a result of evaluation of new information not previously available. Significant judgment is required in assessing, among other things, the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in payment that is materially different from Tellurian Investments’ current estimate of its tax liabilities. These differences are reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.
As required by the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, Tellurian Investments recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, Tellurian Investments applied the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.
Tellurian Investments recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.
Accounting for LNG Activities
Although the Driftwood LNG has incurred costs as of June 30, 2016, the funding necessary to complete the projects has not been secured. Until the affirmative final investment decision (“FID”) by Tellurian Investments’ Board of Directors to move forward with the project occurs, Tellurian Investments does not consider the project probable to occur, and project-related start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
FID represents a decision by Tellurian Investments’ Board of Directors to move forward with the Driftwood LNG, the project site and construction thereon.
Tellurian Investments will begin capitalizing the costs of its LNG terminals and related pipelines once the Driftwood LNG’s FID criteria have been met. Prior to meeting these criteria, most of the costs associated with a project are expensed as incurred. These costs primarily include professional fees associated with front-end engineering and design work, costs of securing necessary regulatory approvals, and other preliminary investigation and development activities related to Tellurian Investments’ LNG terminals and related pipelines.
Generally, costs that are capitalized prior to a project meeting the criteria otherwise necessary for capitalization

8


include: land costs that are capitalized as property, plant and equipment, the Lease prepayments are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the Option payments have been capitalized in Other non-current assets. Any prepaid costs of the Lease and the Option will be capitalized and reclassified to property plant and equipment and subsequently amortized over the life of the lease once obtained. If no lease is obtained, the costs are expensed.
Goodwill
At June 30, 2016 Tellurian Investments had $1.190 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of the Predecessor. Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of the assets of the business acquired (see “Note 3, Acquisition”).
Tellurian Investments determines its reporting unit by identifying each unit that engaged in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, had operating results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, and had discrete financial information.
Tellurian Investments tests goodwill for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently as circumstances dictate. Tellurian Investments utilizes the optional qualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of whether the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. Tellurian Investments considers the results of this assessment as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If the results of the qualitative test indicate potential impairment, Tellurian Investments may compare its estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Tellurian Investments performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recorded, as necessary. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value, if any, of that goodwill. Tellurian Investments determines the implied fair value of the goodwill in the same manner as determining the amount of goodwill to be recognized in a business combination.
As discussed above regarding Tellurian Investments’ use of estimates, Tellurian Investments' judgments and assumptions are inherent in its estimate of future cash flows used to determine the estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in the recognition of impairment charges in the financial statements. A lower fair value estimate in the future could result in an impairment of goodwill. Factors that could trigger a lower fair value estimate include significant negative industry or economic trends, cost increases, disruptions to Tellurian Investments’ business, regulatory or political environment changes or other unanticipated events.
Share-based Compensation
Tellurian Investments has awarded share-based compensation in the form of stock and restricted stock units that are more fully described in “Note 7, Share-Based Compensation”. Tellurian Investments recognizes share-based compensation at fair value on the date of grant. The fair value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. For equity-classified share-based compensation awards (unrestricted stock grants, restricted stock to employees and discounted share purchases for executive officers), compensation cost is recognized based on the grant-date fair value of Tellurian Investments’ common stock and not subsequently remeasured. The fair value is recognized as expense using the straight-line basis for awards that vest based on service and market conditions and using the accelerated recognition method for awards that vest based on performance conditions. Tellurian Investments estimates the service periods for performance awards utilizing a probability assessment based on when it expects to achieve the performance conditions. Compensation cost is subsequently adjusted quarterly to reflect the updated estimated payout levels based on the changes in Tellurian Investments’ stock price.
Recently Adopted Guidance
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Various transition methods are prescribed depending on the aspect of accounting impacted by the amended guidance. Early adoption is permitted. The retroactive adoption to January 1, 2016 of this amendment did not have a material impact on Tellurian Investments’ condensed consolidated financial statements and

9


did not apply to historical periods of the Predecessor.
Accounting Guidance Issued but Not Adopted as of June 30, 2016
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increase the usefulness of information in the financial statements regarding the nature, timing, and uncertainty of the use of revenues. The update, after a deferral by one year in August 2015 by the FASB, subsequently issued as ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), is effective for Tellurian Investments for the annual period ending after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Tellurian Investments has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The update is effective for financial statements issued for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The standard will be adopted prospectively, and Tellurian Investments does not expect the update to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the current requirement for entities to present deferred taxes as a net current asset or liability and net noncurrent asset or liability. Under the new guidance, all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with the related valuation allowances, should be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The amendments in this update may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. Tellurian Investments is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position. The update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Tellurian Investments is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. Tellurian Investments is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 2 -LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Tellurian Investments’ business does not have sufficient working capital to sustain operations for the next 12 months, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. At present, Tellurian Investments’ cash flow is solely dependent upon the funds received from outside investors. Tellurian Investments’ management expects the ability to access capital markets as a result of the planned merger with Magellan Petroleum Corporation (“Magellan”) (see “Note 13, Subsequent Events”). Management believes the ability to raise additional capital will alleviate the substantial doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. Tellurian Investments will need significant funding to develop the Driftwood LNG terminal and the Driftwood pipeline, as well as for working capital requirements and other operating and general corporate purposes.
The significant risks and uncertainties described above raise substantial doubt about Tellurian Investments’ ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of

10


liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty.

Tellurian Investments, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Driftwood LNG LLC, purchased certain tracts of land in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana in exchange for $10 million in consideration (the “Land Acquisition”) on March 24, 2016. Approximately $1 million of the total consideration is due and payable December 2016 and was accrued within Note payable, current, on the balance sheet. The Land Acquisition has been accounted for as an asset purchase and recorded at the purchase price and allocated between land and buildings based upon their relative fair values at

13


the date of acquisition. Fair value was determined based on a replacement cost approach which contemplates the cost to construct improvements with equivalent utility to the subject, using modern materials and current standards, design, and layout. Estimates of replacement cost for the purpose of developing a market value opinion include three components: direct costs, indirect costs (also known as soft costs) and entrepreneurial profit. In making estimates of fair value, Tellurian Investments used published results of an appraisal report provided by third party valuation experts. Due to the significance of the of unobservable inputs utilized, Tellurian Investments has determined that such fair value measures are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2016 the allocation between land and buildings was $9.491 million and $549 thousand, respectively.

Property plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method. Depreciation expense of $24 thousand and $8 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is recorded within Operating expenses on the income statements. The estimated useful lives within property, plant and equipment are between 3 and 30 years, as follows:

Buildings - 30 years
Leasehold improvements - 10 years
Computer and office equipment - 3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures - 5-15 years
NOTE 7 -SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Tellurian Investments has granted stock and restricted stock to employees under the Tellurian Investments Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The maximum number of shares of Tellurian Investments’ common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is 30,000,000. As of June 30, 2016, there were 28,475,000 shares remaining available for issuance.
Stock Compensation Granted In Conjunction with the Plan
In April 2016, 1,500,000 restricted shares and 25,000 shares of unrestricted common stock were granted and issued to four executive officers under the Plan. The restricted stock awards vest upon FID. As of June 30, 2016, Tellurian Investments does not believe this event is considered probable of occurring at this time and therefore has not recorded share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards.
The restrictions on all of the restricted stock awards will expire upon the affirmative final investment decision provided; however, such restrictions will expire on such date only if:
the employee maintains continuous service from the date of the grant through the applicable vesting date; or
the employee’s continuous service is terminated by Tellurian Investments without cause or by the employee for good reason and in either event the FID occurs within five years after such termination.
For purposes of the restricted stock, FID means a decision by Tellurian Investments’ Board of Directors to move forward with a project, the project site and construction thereon, following (i) determination by Tellurian Investments that such site has met the appropriate suitability criteria, (ii) Tellurian Investments securing a long-term option on such site, (iii) Tellurian Investments securing financing deemed sufficient by the Board of Directors, and (iv) the completion of the front-end engineering and design process.
Stock Compensation Granted Outside the Plan
In March 2016, Tellurian Investments’ Board of Directors granted a total of 1,750,000 shares of vested stock to various employees. The vested stock was granted prior to the existence of the Plan.
In April 2016, Tellurian Investments’ Board of Directors allowed 1,050,000 shares to be purchased at a discount by two executive officers as a form of compensation. The difference between the purchase price of $0.50 and the estimated fair value is recorded as compensation to the officers.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Tellurian Investments recognized stock-based compensation expense related to unrestricted stock and equity-classified share-based compensation awards of $5.125 million. The estimated fair value of all share-based compensation granted in the six months ended June 30, 2016 is $2.00 per share, which

14


represents the private placement price for all equity sales at this time. Stock-based compensation expense is reflected in General and administrative expenses in Tellurian Investments’ Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Legal Matters
Bonini-Kettlety Lawsuit
On May 23, 2016, Simon Bonini and Paul Kettlety (“Bonini and Kettlety”) filed a lawsuit against Tellurian Investments and Tellurian Services, along with each of Messrs. Houston and Daniels and certain entities in which each of Messrs. Houston and Daniels own membership interests, as applicable, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging among other things, breach of contract, promissory estoppel, quantum meruit, fraud/fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, usurpation/diversion of corporate opportunity, conversion, civil conspiracy and implied partnership.
Bonini and Kettlety allege that there was a binding agreement between Bonini and Kettlety and Messrs. Houston and Daniels to sell an interest in Parallax Enterprises to Bonini and Kettlety and that the ultimate proposed ownership of Parallax Enterprises which was agreed to by Messrs. Houston, Daniels and two other members of Parallax Enterprises did not reflect the parties’ agreement. Bonini and Kettlety allege that their agreed upon ownership in Parallax Enterprises (14.3%, each) exceeded what was ultimately offered to them (9.9%, each) and that the ultimate proposal subjected them to certain management, ownership and redemption terms to which they had not agreed. Bonini and Kettlety are seeking damages in excess of $168 million.
Although Tellurian Investments believes the claims of Bonini and Kettlety are without merit, and Tellurian Investments intends to engage in a vigorous defense of this litigation, Tellurian Investments may not ultimately be successful and any potential liability Tellurian Investments may incur is not reasonably estimable. Even if Tellurian Investments is successful, however, in the defense of this litigation, Tellurian Investments could incur costs, and suffer both an economical loss and an adverse impact on reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on Tellurian Investments’ business.
Akkida Lawsuit
On June 7, 2016, Akkida Group, L.P. (“Akkida”) filed a lawsuit against Tellurian Services, Parallax Energy and Mr. Houston, in the 333rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging among other things, breach of contract, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, negligent misrepresentation, fraud, fraudulent inducement, piercing the corporate veil/alter ego and conspiracy.
Akkida alleges that there was a binding agreement between Akkida and Tellurian Services for Tellurian Services to use Akkida’s consulting services for the duration of two LNG projects of Parallax Energy. Akkida also alleges that its consulting services were terminated prematurely, and the compensation received for the consulting services it provided did not reflect the parties’ agreement and was less than the value to which the parties had agreed to for such services.
Tellurian Investments believes Akkida’s claims are without merit and Tellurian Services and Mr. Houston intend to engage in a vigorous defense of this litigation. However, Tellurian Services may not ultimately be successful and any potential liability Tellurian Services may incur is not reasonably estimable.
NOTE 9 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITITES
Accounts payable

At June 30, 2016, approximately $2.747 million of accounts payable related to engineering procurement and construction related to Driftwood LNG and approximately $631 thousand of legal fees.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Tellurian Investments has a defined contribution plan (“401(k) Plan”) which allows eligible employees to contribute up to 100% of their compensation up to the IRS maximum. Tellurian Investments matches each employee’s salary deferrals (contributions at 100%) up to 6% of compensation and may make additional contributions at its discretion. Employees are immediately vested in the contributions made by us. The Predecessor’s contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $15 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and zero for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Predecessor’s 401(k) plan was implemented in September 2015. Tellurian Investments has made no discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan to date.
NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE DATA
Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of certain stock awards and other equity-based compensation awards. There are 1.5 million restricted common shares that are excluded from the calculation of net loss per share, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities resulted principally from capitalized engineering cost, capitalized start-up costs, property plant and equipment and compensation accruals. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are classified as non-current in Tellurian Investments’ balance sheet.
ASC 740 requires that Tellurian Investments reduce its deferred income tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset 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 are deductible.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. As Tellurian Investments has not yet begun generating revenues or performing the activities for which it was organized, Tellurian Investments established a full valuation allowance of $8.1 million in the period ended June 30, 2016, against its net deferred tax assets in excess of the deferred tax liabilities. Tellurian Investments does not have any naked credit, i.e., deferred tax liabilities associated with tax amortization of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets that are not amortized for financial reporting purposes.
As of June 30, 2016, Tellurian Investments had no unrecognized tax benefits. Tellurian Investments is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal and various states jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. Tellurian Investments reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. Tellurian Investments recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. Tellurian Investments has identified no income tax uncertainties. Tellurian Investments recognizes interest and penalties, if any, in the period in which they occur in income tax expense.
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Member of Tellurian Services LLC:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Tellurian Services LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of April 9, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, members’ capital, and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2016 to April 9, 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Conclusion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tellurian Services LLC as of April 9, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations, members’ capital and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2016 to April 9, 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Tellurian Services LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Tellurian Services LLC (“Tellurian Services”), organized under Delaware law as a limited liability company, was formed on December 18, 2013. Tellurian Services was formerly known as Parallax Services LLC prior to its membership interests being purchased and it being renamed in April 2016. Tellurian Services was formed primarily to engage in liquefied natural gas (“LNG”)-specific consulting services as well as back-office and general and administrative support services to Parallax Enterprises LLC (“Parallax Enterprises”) and its 100% owned subsidiaries as well as Parallax Energy LLC (“Parallax Energy”) and its 100% owned subsidiaries (see “Note 2 - Transactions with Related Parties”).
On July 1, 2014, Tellurian Services entered into a contract with Origin Energy to provide quarterly market intelligence related to the LNG markets. The contract provided for quarterly payments of approximately $688 thousand for each report. This contract represented the majority of Tellurian Services’ revenues for both 2014 and 2015. This contract was terminated in July 2015. As a result, there were no third party revenues in the period ended April 9, 2016.
On April 9, 2016 Tellurian Investments Inc. acquired Tellurian Services in an all-stock transaction with consideration totaling $1.2 million and acquisition costs of $30 thousand.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded prospectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Tellurian Services considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and typically exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are primarily from cost reimbursements as a result of back-office and general and administrative support services with related parties. Tellurian Services routinely reviews outstanding balances, assesses the financial strength of its customers, and records a reserve for amounts not expected to be fully recovered. The need for an allowance is determined based upon reviews of individual accounts, historical losses, existing economic conditions and other pertinent factors. Tellurian Services recognized related party bad debt expense of $102 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015. No bad debt expense was recorded for the period ended April 9, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2014. See Note 2, Transactions with Related Parties, for additional information related to bad debt expense recognized.
Transactions with Related Parties
Tellurian Services has receivables with related parties as a result of back-office and general and administrative support services provided and payables as a result of timing of deposits made in advance of services to be provided. Tellurian Services does not consider the accounts or notes receivable from related parties to be uncollectible.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for construction activities, major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and general and administrative activities are expensed as incurred. Tellurian Services depreciates its property, plant and equipment using the straight-line depreciation method. Upon retirement or other disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the account, and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in other operating costs and expenses.

27


Management tests property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value
At April 9, 2016, and December 31, 2015 and 2014, property plant and equipment consisted primarily of leasehold improvements related to the Tellurian Services office lease and associated office furniture, fixtures and equipment. The estimated useful lives are 10 years and 5 to 15 years for the leasehold improvements and office furniture, fixtures and equipment, respectively. Amounts recorded to depreciation expense for the period ended April 9, 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, was $8 thousand, $18 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively. Accumulated depreciation as of April 9, 2016, December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014 was $30 thousand, $22 thousand and $4 thousand, respectively. Depreciation expense is recorded within General and administrative on the statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Tellurian Services recognizes consulting-related revenues over the contractual term of the arrangement or the expected period during which those specified services will be performed, whichever is longer, unless evidence suggests that the revenue is earned or obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern.
Income Taxes
Tellurian Services was organized as a Delaware limited liability company and is treated as a flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under U.S. federal income tax law, limited liability companies that elect partnership taxation are not taxable entities. Therefore, a provision for income tax has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The owners as of the time of the accompanying financial statements were individually responsible for reporting their share of Tellurian Services’ income or loss on their income tax returns.
Although Tellurian Services is a non-taxpaying entity for federal income tax purposes, certain states require a tax similar to an income tax. Texas imposes a franchise tax (commonly referred to as the Texas margin tax) on gross revenues less certain deductions, as specifically set forth in the Texas margin tax statute. The Texas margin tax applies to corporations and limited liability companies, general and limited partnerships (unless otherwise exempt), limited liability partnerships, trusts (unless otherwise exempt), business trusts, business associations, professional associations, joint stock companies, holding companies, joint ventures and certain other business entities having limited liability protection. Tellurian Services’ Texas margin tax for the period ended April 9, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was insignificant (less than ten thousand dollars in each period presented) and thus was not separately presented in the financial statements. Tax expense is recorded within General and administrative on the statements of operations.
As required by the uncertain tax position guidance in ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, Tellurian Services recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. Tellurian Services does not have any uncertain tax positions.
Tellurian Services files a U.S. Return of Partnership Income along with various other state filings. In the normal course of business, Tellurian Services may be audited by any of these taxing authorities. As of April 9, 2016, Tellurian Services is not currently undergoing any tax examinations.
Net Income Per Unit
Tellurian Services has omitted net income per unit due to no units being issued. In lieu of issuing units, the members’ percentage interest set forth in Tellurian Services’ operating agreement is a 50% interest to each member as of the time of the accompanying financial statements.


28


Comprehensive Income
Tellurian Services has no elements of comprehensive income other than net income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. Its objective is to increase the usefulness of information in the financial statements regarding the nature, timing, and uncertainty of the use of revenues. The update, after a deferral by one year in August 2015 by the FASB, subsequently titled ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) is effective for Tellurian Services for the annual period ending after December 15, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Tellurian Services has not yet selected a transition method and is evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The update provides guidance in GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The update is effective for financial statements issued for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Tellurian Services is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial position. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Tellurian Services is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The update is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. Tellurian Services is evaluating the potential impact this new standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 2 -TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
As of April 9, 2016, Tellurian Services had entered into agreements with entities to provide certain general administrative and management services for a term of one year with automatic yearly extensions, including, without limitation, the sourcing, structuring and negotiation of potential business acquisitions and customer contracts (“the Agreements”).
All activity conducted under the Agreements are included in Accounts receivable due from related parties and Accounts payable due to related parties on the balance sheets. Salary expense allocated to related parties is recorded within Operating expenses on the statements of operations. Salary expense for employees working on behalf of the related parties recorded for the period ended April 9, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 was $52 thousand and $105 thousand, respectively. No salary expense was incurred to related parties for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The outstanding balances in Accounts receivable due from related parties and Accounts payable due to related parties are related to general administrative and management services provided to Parallax Enterprises and its 100% owned subsidiaries as well as Parallax Energy and its 100% owned subsidiaries. Two of the four officers of Parallax Enterprises, Mr. Martin Houston and Mr. Christopher Daniels, were also members of Tellurian Services until Tellurian Services was acquired by Tellurian Investments Inc. on April 9, 2016. Parallax Energy and its 100% owned subsidiaries are wholly owned by Mr. Martin Houston, a member of Tellurian Services.

(1) The Parallax Enterprises related party payable amounts as of December 31, 2015 and April 9, 2016 are netted on the balance sheet by the amounts due the Company. The amounts have been presented gross in the above table.
In accordance with the netting agreement, effective date September 2016, between Tellurian Services and Parallax Enterprises, the outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable balances related to Parallax Enterprises and its 100% owned subsidiaries are netted on the balance sheet for all period presented. The net position of all the balances as of April 9, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were a payable balance of $253 thousand and $306 thousand and a receivable balance of $991 thousand, respectively.
Under each Agreement, Tellurian Services is compensated by each entity for its services with a fee equal to $25 thousand paid annually. The total revenue recorded under these Agreements for the period ended April 9, 2016 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $31 thousand, $311 thousand, and $84 thousand, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2015, service revenues receivables for three entities, 100% owned by Mr. Martin Houston, had become deemed uncollectible and charged to bad debt expense in the amount of $102 thousand.
Tellurian Services transacted on behalf of some of the above noted related parties before the Agreements were effective. On behalf of Parallax Enterprises, Tellurian Services paid legal expenses of $68 thousand, LNG project modelling costs of $24 thousand, engineering costs of $14 thousand, insurance costs of $5 thousand and a land option payment of $162 thousand. On behalf of Parallax Fund V Investco LLC, Tellurian Services received payments in the amount of $125 thousand that was then later deposited into Parallax Fund V Investco LLC's operating accounts. The transactions on behalf of Parallax Enterprises occurred before the effective date of the Agreement and are represented in Accounts receivable due from related parties on the balance sheets. The transactions on behalf of Parallax Fund V Investco LLC occurred before the effective date of the Agreement and are represented in Accounts payable due to related parties on the balance sheets.
On November 2015, Tellurian Services issued an interest free $251 thousand note receivable to Mr. Martin Houston, a 50% member of Tellurian Services. The note was used to provide the collateral required to secure a $500 thousand line of credit as part of a covenant related to Tellurian Services’ office lease. See Note 4, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information about the office lease.

Legal Matters
Bonini-Kettlety Lawsuit
On May 23, 2016, Simon Bonini and Paul Kettlety (“Bonini and Kettlety”) filed a lawsuit against Tellurian Investments and Tellurian Services, along with each of Messrs.

Houston and Daniels own membership interests, as applicable, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging among other things, breach of contract, promissory estoppel, quantum meruit, fraud/fraudulent concealment, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, usurpation/diversion of corporate opportunity, conversion, civil conspiracy and implied partnership.
Bonini and Kettlety allege that there was a binding agreement between Bonini and Kettlety and Messrs. Houston and Daniels to sell an interest in Parallax Enterprises to Bonini and Kettlety and that the ultimate proposed ownership of Parallax Enterprises which was agreed to by Messrs. Houston, Daniels and two other members of Parallax Enterprises did not reflect the parties’ agreement. Bonini and Kettlety allege that their agreed upon ownership in Parallax Enterprises (14.3%, each) exceeded what was ultimately offered to them (9.9%, each) and that the ultimate proposal subjected them to certain management, ownership and redemption terms to which they had not agreed. Bonini and Kettlety are seeking damages in excess of $168 million.
Although Tellurian Services believes the claims of Bonini and Kettlety are without merit, and Tellurian Services intends to engage in a vigorous defense of this litigation, Tellurian Services may not ultimately be successful and any

potential liability Tellurian Services may incur is not reasonably estimable. Even if Tellurian Services is successful, however, in the defense of this litigation, Tellurian Services could incur costs and suffer both an economical loss and an adverse impact on reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on Tellurian Services’ business.
