NARRATIVE

For Period Ended: May 31, 2017

Please provide a brief description of any significant business and legal actions taken by the debtor, its creditors, or the court during the reporting period, any unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions that are reported in the financial statements, and any significant changes in the financial condition of the debtor which have occurred subsequent to the report date.

During the period from May 1st through May 31st, there were no material unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions recorded in the accompanying financial statements, except for an adjustment to legal expense included in Selling, General and Administrative expense. In May 2017, the Debtor recorded a reduction in legal expenses of approximately $59,000 for legal fees previously expensed but were then paid by the Debtor’s insurance underwriter in the Debtor’s pending legal case of Alan Eugene Humphrey and Wyoming GTL, LLC, v. Escalera Resources Co., United States District Court for the District of Colorado Case No. 15-cv-00769. The Debtor has reached its retention limit (deductible) for this matter under its directors and officers liability insurance policy in effect during the period this pending legal case covered. Moving forward, the Debtor expects the insurance underwriter to cover a significant portion of costs associated with this pending legal case.

The Debtor continues discussions with the secured lenders about their desired plans to move forward, which include reorganizing in a manner similar to the Plan previously submitted, but with a parallel process for possible sale of the Debtor’s assets. The sale process, conducted by Seaport Global, has been ongoing since late December 2016.

On April 19, 2017, the Debtor filed a motion to approve settlement with Warren Resources, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Warren”) relating to the Debtor’s gas transportation agreement (the “GTA”) with Warren. On June 1, 2017, the Court approved the settlement. In accordance with the terms of the settlement, on June 2, 2017 the Debtor made an initial payment of $400,000 to Warren for amounts under the GTA. Additionally, the Debtor and Warren have commenced the process for jointly marketing their Atlantic Rim natural gas properties for sale, with the proceeds of any joint sale to be divided pursuant to a formula set out in the settlement.
