CENTENNIAL RESOURCE PRODUCTION, LLC
(PREDECESSOR)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


Note 1—Organization and Nature of Operations
Centennial Resource Production, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company formerly named Atlantic Energy Holdings, LLC (“Centennial OpCo” or the “Predecessor”), was formed on August 30, 2012 by its management members, third-party investors and NGP Natural Resources X, LP (“NGP X”), an affiliate of Natural Gas Partners, a family of energy-focused private equity investment funds (“NGP”). Centennial OpCo is engaged in the development and acquisition of unconventional oil and associated liquids-rich natural gas reserves, primarily in the Delaware Basin of West Texas.
For additional information regarding the organization and formation of the Predecessor please refer to Note 1Organization and Nature of Operations in the Predecessor’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Proxy Statement of Silver Run Acquisition Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2016 (the “Audited Financial Statements”).
Note 2—Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies, and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the Audited Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of interim financial information, have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Assumptions, Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of the Predecessor’s condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Predecessor’s management to make various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and in the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments, and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established.
The more significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include: (1) oil and natural gas reserves; (2) cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets; (3) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (4) asset retirement obligations; (5) determining fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations; (6) valuation of derivative instruments; and (7) accrued revenue and related receivables.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies followed by the Predecessor are set forth in Note 2Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Recently Issued Accounting Standards in the Audited Financial Statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The new standard becomes effective for the Predecessor on January 1, 2018, with early adoption is permitted. The Predecessor is evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this update will have on the Predecessor’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based compensation payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This amendment will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Predecessor is evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this update will have on the Predecessor’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

CENTENNIAL RESOURCE PRODUCTION, LLC
(Predecessor)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires all leasing arrangements to be presented in the balance sheet as liabilities along with a corresponding asset.  This ASU will replace most existing leases guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard becomes effective for the Predecessor on January 1, 2019.  Although early adoption is permitted, the Predecessor does not plan to early adopt the ASU.  The standard requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method.  The Predecessor is evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this update will have on the Predecessor’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is to be applied using a full retrospective method or a modified retrospective method, as outlined in the guidance. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The revenue recognition standard is now effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but only for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Predecessor is evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this update will have on our consolidated and combined financial statements and related disclosures.
Other than as disclosed above or set forth in Note 2—Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Recently Issued Accounting Standards in the Predecessor’s Audited Financial Statements, there are no other new accounting standards that would have a material impact on the Predecessor’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 4—Acquisitions
In June 2016, the Predecessor completed the acquisition of unproved and proved properties in the Delaware Basin. Total cash consideration paid by the Predecessor was $33.0 million, including usual and customary post-closing adjustments. The Predecessor determined that the acquisition met the criteria for a business combination under FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Predecessor allocated the final purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities based on fair value as of the respective acquisition dates, as summarized in the table below. Refer to Note 7—Fair Value Measurements for additional discussion on the valuation techniques used in determining the fair value of the acquired properties.

Note 6—Derivative Instruments
The Predecessor periodically uses derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to a decline in commodity prices and the corresponding negative impact on cash flow available for reinvestment. While the use of these instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price changes, their use may also limit future revenues from favorable price changes. Depending on changes in oil and natural gas futures markets and the Predecessor’s view of underlying supply and demand trends, it may increase or decrease its hedging positions.
The following table summarizes the approximate volumes and average contract prices of swap and collar contracts the Predecessor had in place as of September 30, 2016:

In a typical commodity swap agreement, if the agreed upon published third-party index price (“index price”) is lower than the swap fixed price, the Predecessor receives the difference between the index price and the agreed upon swap fixed price. If the index price is higher than the swap fixed price, the Predecessor pays the difference. In addition, the Predecessor has entered into basis swap contracts in order to hedge the difference between the NYMEX index price and a local index price. When the actual differential exceeds the fixed price provided by the basis swap contract, the Predecessor receives the difference from the counterparty; when the differential is less than the fixed price provided by the basis swap contract, the Predecessor pays the difference to the counterparty.
The Predecessor’s commodity derivatives are measured at fair value and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets and liabilities. The fair value of the commodity contracts was a net asset of $0.3 million and $21.1 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Predecessor is exposed to financial risks associated with its derivative contracts from non-performance by its counterparties. The Predecessor mitigates its exposure to any single counterparty by contracting with a number of financial institutions, each of which have a high credit rating and is a member of its bank credit facility. The Predecessor’s member banks do not require it to post collateral for its hedge liability positions. Because some of the member banks have discontinued hedging activities, in the future the Predecessor may hedge with counterparties outside its bank group to obtain competitive terms and to spread counterparty risk.
The Predecessor did not incur any losses due to counterparty non-performance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015.
Note 7—Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Predecessor has categorized its assets and liabilities measured at fair value, based on the priority of inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. Level 1 inputs are the highest priority and consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
The following table is a listing of the Predecessor’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and where they were classified within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

This represents a financial asset that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the above fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Predecessor as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during any period presented.
Derivatives
The Predecessor uses Level 2 inputs to measure the fair value of oil and natural gas commodity derivatives. The Predecessor uses industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, implied market volatility, time value, nonperformance risk, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument and can be supported by observable data. The Predecessor utilizes its counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its own valuations.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on a nonrecurring basis on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation of acquired oil and gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii)

9

CENTENNIAL RESOURCE PRODUCTION, LLC
(Predecessor)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices, including price differentials; (v) future cash flows; and (vi) a market participant-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Predecessor’s management at the time of the valuation. Refer to Note 4-Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information on the fair value of assets acquired during 2016.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Predecessor’s cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities and/or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying values of the amounts outstanding under the Predecessor’s credit agreement approximate fair value because the variable interest rates are reflective of current market conditions.

The Predecessor’s amended and restated credit agreement (“credit agreement”), dated October 15, 2014, includes both a term loan commitment of $65.0 million (the “term loan”) and a revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”) with commitments of $500.0 million (subject to the borrowing base), with a sublimit for letters of credit of $15.0 million. The revolving credit facility matures on October 15, 2019 and the term loan matures on April 15, 2018.
The borrowing base under the revolving credit facility is determined at the discretion of the lenders and depends on, among other things, the volumes of the Predecessor’s proved oil and natural gas reserves and estimated cash flows from these reserves and the Predecessor’s commodity hedge positions. In April 2016, the borrowing base was reaffirmed at $140.0 million.  The next regular redetermination date is scheduled for October 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, borrowings under the revolving credit facility were $124.0 million and $0.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving $15.5 million in borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility.
The term loan, net of unamortized deferred financing costs on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, consisted of the following:

Note 9—Incentive Unit Compensation
There have been no material changes in issued, forfeited or vested incentive units during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Please refer to Note 9Incentive Unit Compensation in the Audited Financial Statements.
Incentive units are accounted for as liability awards under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, with compensation expense based on period-end fair value. The achievement of payout conditions is a performance condition that requires the Predecessor to assess, at each reporting period, the probability that an event of payout will occur. Compensation cost is required to be recognized at such time that the payout terms are probable of being met. At the grant dates and subsequent reporting periods, the Predecessor did not deem as probable that such payouts would be achieved.
Note 10—Transactions with Related Parties
In May 2016, the Predecessor acquired acreage in close proximity to its operating area in Reeves County, Texas and wellbore only rights in an uncompleted horizontal wellbore for approximately $9.8 million from Caird DB, LLC, an affiliate of NGP.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
In October 2014, the Predecessor’s gas gathering agreement with PennTex was amended to provide for the construction of an expansion of the gathering system and a receipt point. The Predecessor will reimburse PennTex for the total cost of the expansion project. The Predecessor will pay a minimum fee of $7,000 per day until PennTex recoups the capital outlay for the expansion project. At September 30, 2016 a short-term liability of $0.3 million was in included in Other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Predecessor made payments, including interest, of $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
In December 2015, the Predecessor entered into a transportation and gathering services agreement by which a transporter agreed to construct a crude oil gathering and transportation system capable of transporting crude oil from certain Company wells in Reeves and Ward Counties, Texas to destination points in Crane and Midland, Texas (the “Transportation System”), and the Predecessor agreed to dedicate and ship on the Transportation System all crude oil owned or controlled by the Predecessor from oil and gas leases covering approximately 28,000 gross acres located within a designated area of mutual interest in Reeves and Ward Counties. The agreement has a primary term of 12 years from October 1, 2016, the date the Transportation System was first put into service, and may be extended at the Company’s option for two successive two-year terms and, thereafter, is automatically extended for successive one-year terms unless terminated by the Predecessor or the transporter upon 60 days’ prior notice.
In July 2016, the Predecessor entered into a crude oil purchase agreement by which the Predecessor agreed to sell all of its crude oil production that is produced at receipt points identified in the agreement commencing on the October 1, 2016 in-service date of the Transportation System. The purchaser is obligated to purchase the crude oil at the receipt points identified in the agreement and transport it on the Transportation System. The agreement has an initial term of nine months from October 1, 2016, the date the Transportation System entered commercial service, and evergreen 30-day renewal terms unless terminated by the Predecessor or the purchaser on 30 days’ prior notice. The price received by the Predecessor for the crude oil it sells under the agreement is based generally on NYMEX pricing subject to marketing and other adjustments, and varies depending on whether the oil is transported to Crane or Midland, Texas and on whether the oil is transported before or after the Transportation System is connected to a pipeline in Crane, Texas or a terminal in Midland, Texas.
There have been no other material changes in commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Please refer to Note 11Commitment and Contingencies in the Audited Financial Statements.
Contract Termination and Rig Stacking
In light of the low commodity price environment, the Predecessor curtailed its drilling activity during 2015. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Predecessor incurred drilling rig termination fees of $0.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which are recorded in the Contract termination and rig stacking line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Predecessor may at times be subject to claims and legal actions. Management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters will have a material adverse effect on the Predecessor’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management is unaware of any pending litigation brought against the Predecessor requiring the reserve of a contingent liability as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
