The Board of Managers and Members
Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated 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 entity’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 consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.








Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the consolidating statements of operations for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis of Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC and subsidiaries and are not a required part of the consolidated financial statements.

SADDLE BUTTE PIPELINE II, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Business – Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC is a midstream natural gas and crude oil gathering pipeline and processing company. Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC gathers the natural gas and crude oil at the wellhead and transports the product to third party gas processing plants or interstate pipelines. Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC was formed on April 5, 2012. As an LLC, the members’ liability is limited to the amount of their investment.
Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Optimized Energy Solutions, LLC, Saddle Butte Operating, LLC, Saddle Butte San Juan Midstream, LLC, Saddle Butte Rockies Midstream, LLC and Saddle Butte Rockies Storage and Terminals, LLC, herein collectively referred to as the “Company.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On December 12, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell all of its interest in Saddle Butte Rockies Midstream, LLC (SRM), Saddle Butte Storage and Terminals, LLC (SST), and Optimized Energy Solutions, LLC (OES) (Note 8). For financial reporting purposes, the Company has elected to reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations on a full disclosure basis as opposed to recording such amounts as assets, liabilities, and results of operations from discontinued operations as SRM, SST, and OES represent substantially all of total consolidated assets, liabilities and revenues as of and for the years ended 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less. From time to time, these cash accounts may exceed federally insured limits.
Short-Term Investments – The Company had investments at December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 in three-month U.S. Treasury bills. Because the initial maturity was less than one year, they were classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet.
Crude Oil Sales Receivables – The Company records receivables for crude oil sales delivered through interstate pipelines at cost plus a transportation purchase fee. Management regularly reviews the receivable amounts for collectability and records its allowance for uncollectible receivables under the specific identification method. The Company recorded no allowance for uncollected receivables at December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Crude Oil Inventory – Inventory consists of crude oil which has been purchased at the wellhead. Crude oil is valued at the lower of cost or market and no impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.

SADDLE BUTTE PIPELINE II, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




Other Inventory – Other inventory consists of spare parts for the Company’s gathering pipeline and storage facility. Other inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and no impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, U.S. Treasury bills, trade receivables, inventory, trade payables, accrued liabilities, line-of-credit, and commodity derivatives. The carrying value of cash, U.S. Treasury bills, trade receivables, inventory trade payables, and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments. The line-of-credit is considered to be representative of its fair-market value because the interest rate approximates market. Oil and gas commodity derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities at fair value each reporting period.
Property and EquipmentRenewals and betterments, which substantially extend the useful lives of the assets, are capitalized. All costs necessary to place an asset into operation are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Property and equipment is generally depreciated using the straight-line method over 3 to 20 years depending on the type of asset.

Depreciation expense on property and equipment of $5.6 million, $1.8 million, and $0.3 million was recorded by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.
The Company evaluates impairment of its property and equipment to determine if the carrying value is recoverable based upon the undiscounted future cash flows. If it is not recoverable, an impairment is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. Based upon this evaluation, an impairment of $0, $3.7 million, and $0 was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
Construction in Progress – Costs incurred for construction of oil and gas gathering and transportation systems in process and not operational are included in construction in progress. No depreciation is recorded for these assets as they have not been placed in operations as of December 31, 2017, 2016, or 2015.

SADDLE BUTTE PIPELINE II, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





Equity Method Investment – The Company accounts for its investments in entities over which it has significant influence but not control under the equity method. The Company does not consolidate any part of the assets or liabilities of its equity investee. The Company’s share of net income or loss is reflected as one line item in its consolidated statements of operations entitled “Loss from equity method investee” and will increase or decrease, as applicable, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in its equity method investee on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company helps fund a portion of the development, construction, operation and maintenance of its equity method investee through capital contributions. Contributions to the equity method investee increases the carrying value of the Company’s investment and is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as cash used in investing activities. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company made capital contributions of $2.3 million.
Distributions are classified based on the nature of the distribution. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not receive a distribution from its equity method investee.
The Company evaluates its equity investments for impairment when there is evidence that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a decline in value of the Company’s investment is determined to be other than temporary, the Company would record an impairment loss in the current period based on the difference between the estimated current fair value of the investment and the carrying amount. There was no impairment recognized for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Asset Retirement Obligations – The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company believes that recognition of an asset retirement obligation liability would be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
Oil Commodity Derivatives – The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings as the Company does not apply hedge accounting.
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk related to oil prices. To mitigate this risk, during 2017 and 2016, the Company entered into forward contracts of its forecasted oil sales. The contracts, which are placed with a major financial institution or with counter parties which management believes to be of high credit quality, may take the form of futures contracts, swaps or options. The reference prices of these contracts are based upon crude oil futures.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had an outstanding swap contract with a third party for an aggregate of 5,000 barrels of oil at a contract price of $58.00 with settlement terms of one month. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a realized loss of $0.6 million and an unrealized gain of $0.5 million.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a realized gain of $0.3 million and an unrealized loss of $0.5 million.
Revenue Recognition – The Company generates its revenue from crude oil gathering. The Company provides services under fee-based arrangements. The revenue the Company earns from these arrangements is generally directly related to the volume of product that flows through the Company’s systems and facilities, and is not directly dependent on commodity prices. The Company takes title at the producer’s wellhead and sells at the tailgate of the system.
The terms of the Company contracts vary based on product quality conditions, the competitive environment when the contracts are signed, and customer requirements.
The Company also generates its revenue from crude oil marketing. The Company purchases the crude oil from producers and sells the crude oil to third parties at the delivery points. The Company uses derivatives to hedge the price risk of the downstream markets.
Volumes received may be different from equivalent volumes delivered, resulting in imbalances. Imbalances as of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 were immaterial.
Unearned Revenue In May 2017, the Company entered into an arrangement with a customer to further develop connection points for five well pads. The customer prepaid approximately $1.3 million, which was initially recorded as unearned revenue. The Company recognizes revenue based on volume through the connection points at the governing contract rate. The unearned revenue was $0.4 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company expects to recognize the remaining unearned revenue during 2018.
Income Taxes – The Company is a Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC), therefore, no U.S. federal or state income tax provision is included in the accompanying financial statements. Any taxable income of the Company is reported in the respective tax returns of the Company members.
The Company has no significant uncertain tax positions in 2017. The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense, and to recognize tax penalties in operating expense. As of December 31, 2017, the Company made no provision for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions and tax returns from 2014 and forward are still open to examination.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1:
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:
Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3:
Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
The financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer.
Recurring Measurements – The following are the Company’s assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements – There were no assets and liabilities that are reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2017 or 2015.
The following table presents the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2016, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

During the year ended December 31, 2016, management evaluated certain oil and gas projects, and due to the inability to further develop the projects, the Company fully impaired these assets and recognized an impairment charge of $3.7 million.
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 capitalized costs related to the oil gathering projects include estimates of: (i) future commodity prices; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; and (iv) future cash flows. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation.
3.
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT:
The Company has recognized its investment in Spire Holdco, LLC (Spire) as an equity method investment as the Company exercises significant influence but not control. Spire is a midstream company that was formed in December 2016 to develop, construct, own, maintain, and operate a propane export terminal. The Company initially invested in Spire in April 2017, and as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s ownership interest was approximately 43% of the Class A units. The Company’s share of Spire’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $0.7 million, which is included in the statement of operations as “Loss from equity method investee.”

MEMBERS’ CAPITAL:
Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC is a Delaware LLC with membership interests owned by a group of investor members.
During 2017, 2016, and 2015, the Company issued 458,252, 706,039, and 767,083 Membership Units (“Units”), at $100 per unit, respectively. Cash consideration for the issuance of the Units for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, was $38.0 million, $54.3 million, and $70.8 million, respectively. The remaining Units were issued for notes receivable, as further described below.
During 2017, 2016, and 2015, executives and employees of the Company subscribed for 78,000, 162,821, and 60,900 Units (at $100 per unit), respectively. The recourse promissory notes were collateralized by the respective Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC units. The notes have an interest rate of 6%, which resulted in $1.7 million, $0.8 million, and $0.2 million of interest recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The interest was recorded as additional contributions due and is not reflected in the consolidated statement of operations. The notes and related interest are classified and presented within members’ capital; however, this currently has a net zero effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as they result in a corresponding increase and decrease within members’ capital.
Unit Option Plan – Based on the 2012 Membership Unit Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”), the Company may grant to certain employees, consultants and non-employee managers unit options. As stipulated in Amendment No. 3 to the LLC Agreement, the maximum number of membership units that were permitted to be issued pursuant to exercise of options were 50,000 units. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company executed Amendment No. 4 to the 2012 Plan, increasing the number of available units pursuant to the Plan to 70,000 units. As of December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, a total of 61,400, 43,500, and 10,300 options were issued and outstanding, respectively, and vest over a 36-month period
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the option fair values. This option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are: expected unit price volatility, the expected pre-vesting forfeiture rate, and the expected option term (the amount of time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility was estimated based on industry comparables of similar public energy companies. Expected pre-vesting forfeitures were estimated based on actual historical pre-vesting forfeitures. The expected option term is the life of the options.

Construction Liability – The Company entered into a transaction with an unrelated third party to expand capacity of the Company’s Milton terminal to handle increased oil volumes and build facilities to pump crude oil to the unrelated third party’s terminal. In accordance with the agreement, the Company received approximately $2.7 million from the unrelated third party prior to December 31, 2017, for the express purpose of accomplishing these objectives. The Company initially recorded the transaction as a liability. As the Company fulfills its obligation and builds out the expanded capacity, it reclassifies the amounts incurred to construction in progress. Through December 31, 2017, the Company incurred approximately $0.3 million in related construction costs resulting in a remaining liability related to the construction obligation of approximately $2.4 million as of December 31, 2017, which is recorded as construction liability on the consolidated balance sheet.
Legal – The Company may, from time to time, be involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liability, if any, in these pending actions would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company. The Company’s general and administrative expenses would include amounts incurred to resolve claims made against the Company.
7.
LINE OF CREDIT:
In March 2016, the Company, through SRM, obtained a line of credit with a borrowing base of $20 million and a maturity date of March 4, 2020. In September 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the borrowing base to $100 million and extend the maturity date to September 21, 2021.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $27.1 million drawn on this line of credit. The interest rate per annum is equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR (London Interbank Standard Rate) for a one-month interest period beginning on such day plus 1.00%. As of December 31, 2017, the effective interest rate was 5.75%.
The line of credit is collateralized by certain assets of the Company. The financial institution also issues irrevocable standby letters-of-credit under the line of credit for the benefit and use of the Company in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $0.3 million outstanding in letters-of-credit under the facility. The line of credit has certain restrictive covenants, which the Company was in compliance with as of December 31, 2017.
