NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2018
 
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
PetroShare Corp. (“PetroShare” or the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 4, 2012 to investigate, acquire and develop crude oil and natural gas properties in the Rocky Mountain or mid-continent portion of the United States. Since inception, the Company has focused on financing activities and the acquisition, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas prospects and is currently focused in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, or DJ Basin, in northeast Colorado.
 
NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
 
In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017, which has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2018, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. However, the results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto and summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Except as noted below, there have been no changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary CFW Resources, LLC, formed on August 1, 2017.
 
Income or (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings or (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or (loss) per share is computed after considering the potential dilution from additional shares that would be issued pursuant to the conversion of debt, exercise of warrants, and fulfillment of outstanding equity awards. Any potentially dilutive securities that have an anti-dilutive impact on the per share calculation are excluded. During periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effect of all potentially dilutive securities would be anti-dilutive.

Capitalized Interest Costs
 
Additions to oil and gas properties includes the capitalization of certain interest costs related to properties that are currently undergoing activities necessary to prepare them for their intended use.
 
Revenue Recognition 
 
 Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The timing of recognizing revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids was not changed as the result of the adoption of this standard. The Company derives all its revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Currently, all sales are in the Wattenberg Field in Northern Colorado. The ASU requires disclosure of significant components of revenue (disaggregation) which the Company presents on the face of the Statements of Operations. The contractual performance obligation is satisfied when the product is delivered to the purchaser. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. The Company typically receives payment from one to three months after delivery. The transaction price includes variable consideration as product pricing is based on published market prices and reduced for specified differentials. ASU 2014-09 does not require that the transaction price be fixed or stated in the contract.
 
Debt Discount Costs
 
On February 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Secured Term Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement” and or “Secured Credit Facility”) with Providence Wattenberg, LP and 5NR Wattenberg, LLC (the “Secured Lenders”). Each of Providence and 5NR are affiliates of the Lenders (named below) under a Letter Agreement entered into by the Company and Providence Energy Ltd (“PEC”), Providence Energy Partners, LP (“PEP III”), Providence Energy Operators, LLC (“PEO”) Fifth Partners, LLC (“Fifth”) on December 21, 2017 (Note 6). The Credit Agreement contained an embedded beneficial conversion feature and warrants to purchase common stock of the Company. The proceeds from the sale of the securities were allocated between the Secured Credit Facility and, where applicable, the warrants based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument, without the warrants, and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature has been recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the Secured Credit Facility and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Secured Credit Facility. The fair value of warrants issued has been recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the Secured Credit Facility and is being amortized over the term of the Secured Credit Facility using the effective interest method. Origination fees paid in cash have been recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the Secured Credit Facility and are being amortized over the term of the Secured Credit Facility using the effective interest method.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases currently classified as operating leases. The Company is currently analyzing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s leases, including non-cancelable leases, drilling rigs, pipeline gathering, transportation, gas processing, and other existing arrangements. Further, the Company is evaluating current accounting policies, applicable systems, controls, and processes to support the potential recognition and disclosure changes resulting from ASU 2016-02. Based upon the Company’s initial assessment, ASU 2016-02 is expected to result in an increase in assets and liabilities recorded. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective method on the effective date of January 1, 2019. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 (“ASU 2018-01”). ASU 2018-01 provides an optional transitional practical expedient which allows entities to exclude from evaluation land easements that exist or expired before adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company is currently evaluating this practical expedient and will adopt ASU 2018-01 at the same time as ASU 2016-02.
 
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). ASU 2018-02 permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings resulting from the 2017 Tax Act. ASU 2018-02 is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the United States federal corporate income tax rate in the 2017 Tax Act is recognized. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as outlined in ASU 2018-02. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
 
There were various updates recently issued by the FASB, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
NOTE 3—GOING CONCERN
 
In the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm expressed in an explanatory paragraph to their opinion significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern from the issuance date of their opinion.
 
Pursuant to ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern the Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the condensed consolidated financial statement issuance date. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and as of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $51.3 million.

September 30, 2018
 
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had insufficient working capital and revenues from operations to meet its maturing debt obligations and other liabilities incurred and to be incurred in connection with the Company’s development activities. As of September 30, 2018, the Company was in default with certain provisions contained in it’s Secured Credit Facility (Note 6). The Company will need to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, sell a portion of it’s operated and or non-operated assets and or sell equity or debt to fund further planned drilling and acquisition activity and meet it’s maturing debt obligations. If sufficient cash flow and additional financing are not available, the Company may be compelled to reduce the scope of its business activities. This, in turn, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to realize the value of its assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
Management has evaluated these conditions and determined that increasing revenues from the Company’s non-operated and operated properties, in tandem with a debt and or equity financing and a sale of a portion of it’s operated or non-operated assets may allow the Company to meet a portion of its maturing debt and interest obligations. However, to continue to fully execute its business plan, additional capital will be required.
 
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value for financial assets and liabilities 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 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 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 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;
 
Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash or valuation models.
 
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 assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
In June 2018 the Company executed two participation agreements with PEO whereby the Company agreed to acquire working interests in approximately 2,200 gross mineral acres for a total purchase price of $4.6 million (Note 11).  The terms of the agreements allow the Company to defer payment until December 31, 2018.  Should the Company fail to fund its participation, it will be obligated to pay a $0.7 million penalty fee and surrender all its interests in the underlying assets.
 
Effective June 1, 2018, the Company closed on a conveyance of property in lieu of payment transaction with PEP III that conveyed its working interests in four producing wells, eight wells in various stages of drilling and completion, 16 proposed wells and the underlying mineral leases (the "Ocho Assets").  As the transaction represented the conveyance of part of an interest in a proved property it has been recorded as a normal retirement.  Proved oil and gas properties cost of $0.8 million were applied against accumulated depletion, depreciation, and amortization. The $2.1 million outstanding principal balance of the supplemental line of credit (Note 6) was fully retired and the offset was recorded to reduce the carrying value of proved properties.
 
NOTE 6—DEBT
 
Line of credit
 
On May 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Facility Agreement ("initial line of credit", “Line of credit”) with PEO, a related party, which provided the Company with a revolving line of credit of up to $5.0 million. On February 1, 2018 concurrent with the closing of the Secured Credit Facility (as described more fully below), the outstanding balance of $5.0 million plus accrued interest was repaid in full. In connection with the repayment the Company recognized $0.3 million in interest expense related to the recognition of an unaccreted debt discount associated with the Line of Credit.
 
As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Line of credit was $5.0 million and accrued interest was $0.5 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.1 million respectively, related to the initial line of credit.
 
Supplemental line of credit
 
On October 13, 2016, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit facility agreement (the “supplemental line of credit”) with PEP III.  PEP III is an affiliate of PEO by having affiliated personnel. The supplemental line of credit permitted the Company to borrow up to $10.0 million to pay costs associated with its acquisition and development of oil and gas properties in the Wattenberg Field. Interest on the supplemental line initially accrued at the rate of 8% per year.
 
The supplemental line of credit was amended on March 30, 2017, pursuant to which the Company agreed not to borrow additional amounts against the supplemental line of credit and to repay $3.6 million.
 
On June 8, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement (“PEP III Agreement”) with PEP III and PEO, pursuant to which PEP III agreed to modify the Company’s supplemental line of credit. The PEP III Agreement extended the maturity date of the supplemental line of credit, including approximately $3.8 million in outstanding principal and accrued interest, from June 13, 2017 until December 27, 2017, and increased the interest rate on the supplemental line from 8% to 10%, effective June 8, 2017. The Company and PEO also agreed to amend the participation agreement between the Company and PEO, dated May 13, 2015 (“Participation Agreement”), in order to expand the area of mutual interest (“AMI”) established, and grants PEP III an option to participate under the Participation Agreement. As amended, the Participation Agreement grants PEO the option to acquire up to a 45% interest and, so long as the supplemental line of credit remains outstanding, grants PEP III the option to acquire up to a 10% interest in and participate in any oil and gas development on acreage acquired by the Company within the expanded AMI. The expanded AMI covers a total of four and one-half townships in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado.

On December 21, 2017 in connection with the execution of a Letter Agreement (as described more fully below) the interest rate on the supplemental line of credit was increased to 15% and the maturity date was extended until June 30, 2018.
 
On February 1, 2018 concurrent with the closing of the Secured Credit Facility (as described more fully below), $1.5 million of principal plus accrued interest was repaid.
 
Effective June 1, 2018, the Company and PEP III closed on a transaction to exchange the Company’s interest in the Ocho Assets (Note 5) in full satisfaction of the remaining $2.1 million of outstanding principal balance. The Company accounted for this transaction as retirement in accordance with ASC 932-360-40-3. As the retirement did not impact the unit-of-production amortization rate no gain or loss was recognized on the transaction.
 
Series A Convertible Notes
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 one Convertible Note in the principal amount of $0.2 million plus accrued interest was converted into 135,963 shares of common stock. The conversion was recorded at the contractual conversion rate of $1.50 per share. No gain or loss was recognized in connection with the conversion (Note 9).
 
As of September 30, 2018, the balance of accrued interest related to the Convertible Notes outstanding was $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2017, accrued interest related to the notes was $0.3 million. The Series A Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable on December 31, 2018.
 
Series B Convertible Notes
 
As of September 30, 2018, there was no accrued interest related to the Series B Notes outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, accrued interest related to the Series B Notes was $0.2 million. The Series B Convertible Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable on December 31, 2018.
 
Secured Credit Facility
 
On February 1, 2018, the Company closed on a $25.0 million Secured Credit Facility with Providence Wattenberg, LP and 5NR Wattenberg, LLC (“Secured Lenders”). Each of Providence and 5NR are affiliates of the Lenders under a Letter Agreement entered into by the Company on December 21, 2017, under which the Company borrowed $5.0 million. The closing on February 1, 2018 fully incorporates the 2017 Letter Agreement and represents additional borrowings of $20.0 million (Note 11).
 
Interest on the outstanding principal balance accrues at the base rate of 14% per year plus the greater of either 1% or U S Dollar LIBOR (three-month tenor). In no event shall interest rate exceed 17%. Interest payments are due and payable each month commencing March 1, 2018.
 
The Company paid a $1.25 million origination fee at the time of the closing and agreed to pay a $1.25 million underwriting fee on February 1, 2019.
 
The borrowing is secured by a lien on all the Company’s assets.
 
All principal is due February 1, 2020 (“Maturity Date”).
 
At any time, each Secured Lender may convert 20% of the outstanding principal balance into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $1.15 per share and 80% of the outstanding principal balance at a conversion rate of $1.55 per share.

The Secured Lenders received warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share (Note 9).
 
The Secured Lenders were granted the right to participate in any public or private securities offering by the Company, limited to 50% of securities offered until December 31, 2018, and 25% of any securities offered thereafter; and
 
The Secured Lenders were granted an option to purchase up to $25 million of the Company’s common stock at a 10% discount from the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of the common stock at the time the option is exercised, but in no event shall the exercise price be less than $1.85 per share, which option will become exercisable on the Maturity Date and expire on February1, 2021; and registration rights in connection with the common stock that may be issued upon exercise of the foregoing rights.
 
The Secured Credit Facility is subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants under which the Company’s failure to comply might result in mandatory redemption of the outstanding balance. The covenants include;
 
The Company has agreed not to issue any equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity securities without the consent of Lenders, except for common stock issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan, certain registered public offerings, common stock issuable in connection with certain convertible promissory notes and certain outstanding warrants; and
 
Maintenance of a Total Leverage Ratio and a Present Value of Proved Developed Producing Reserves Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.
 
As of September 30, 2018, the Company is in default with certain provisions of the Secured Credit Facility. The Company is currently in negotiation with the lender as to the impact and resolution of the default.
 
The Company received net cash proceeds of $11.2 million from the Secured Credit Facility after the deduction of amounts paid to the Secured Lenders and their affiliates for (i) full repayment of $5.0 million borrowed under the initial line of credit, (ii) partial repayment of $1.5 million against the Supplemental line of credit, (iii) payment of $1.25 million in origination fees to the Secured Lenders, and (iv) repayment of accrued interest of $1.1 million to the Secured Lenders.

The Secured Credit Facility is considered a hybrid debt instrument with several elements that required identification and valuation. As the fair value of the embedded elements is not readily determinable through an active marketplace of identical instruments, the Company employed other valuation techniques, including a Monte Carlo simulation, to determine the fair value of the components of the instrument.

It was determined that the rights to convert the debt into common shares contained a beneficial conversion feature that could be detached from the debt and valued as a component of equity. It was likewise determined that the warrants could be detached from the debt and valued as a component of equity. It was determined that the option to purchase shares at a 10% discount from VWAP represented a derivative liability that should be remeasured at fair value for each reporting period. The Company further determined that certain provisions of the agreement which provide for additional interest payments under certain conditions represent an additional compound derivative liability that should also be remeasured at fair value for each reporting period. For both the share purchase option and the additional interest provisions, a Monte Carlo simulation model was used to calculate estimates of fair value. The model was used as of February 1, 2018 to determine the initial valuation. In each interim reporting period subsequent to February 1, 2018, the model was updated to determine changes in the estimated values.

The fair value of each stock-based award was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model that incorporates key assumptions including volatility of the Company’s stock, dividend yield and risk-free interest rates. As the Company’s common stock has limited historical trading data, the expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of a group of publicly-traded companies that share similar operating metrics and histories and that of the Company itself.  The expected term of the awards represents the period that management anticipates awards will be outstanding. As there was insufficient historical data available to ascertain the expected term of the options, the Company applied the “simplified method” in its calculation. The risk-free rates are based on the US Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with similar maturity dates. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and currently does not intend to do so, and as such, the expected dividend yield is zero. Compensation expense related to stock options is recorded net of actual forfeitures.

Restricted shares
 
The Company’s Equity Incentive Plan allows, among other things, for the grant of restricted stock. The holders of restricted shares are eligible to receive dividends and have voting rights prior to vesting. The Company determines the fair value of the restricted shares based on the market price of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of grant. Compensation expense is for granted restricted shares is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting and is net of forfeitures as incurred.

NOTE 13 - RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIOD CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In connection with the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company identified a mathematical error related to the calculation of the depletion, depreciation and amortization of oil and gas properties as recorded during the interim reporting periods ended September 30, 2017. The issue resulted from the application of an incorrect conversion factor when evaluating NGL volumes. The correction of this error was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
 
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, the Company evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position for any prior interim period. Accordingly, the Company did not amend the quarterly reports filed during 2017. The amounts required to correct these errors in total were recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. However, amounts related to 2017 periods presented in this quarterly report have been revised, as applicable.

In the following discussion, “PetroShare Corp.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to PetroShare Corp. and its subsidiaries.
 
The following discussion analyzes (i) our financial condition at September 30, 2018 and compares it to December 31, 2017, and (ii) our results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Further, we encourage you to review the Cautionary Language Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
 
Overview
 
We are an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas properties and have assembled approximately 10,000 net acres, including mineral rights only acreage, all of which are in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, or the DJ Basin, in northeast Colorado. Our current operating focus is within the Wattenberg Field of the DJ Basin, which is located primarily in Adams and Weld Counties, Colorado. We have concentrated our efforts in areas where we believe the geo-mechanical characteristics of the underlying formations offer the potential for greater returns on capital. Our evaluation metrics include reservoir thickness, reservoir quality and resistivity of each formation, each of which affect the number of wells we plan to drill per drilling spacing unit. We have also pursued the development of our leasehold through securing surface use agreements, pad sites, drill site spacing units and horizontal well drilling permits along a new pipeline corridor that has introduced takeaway capacity for both oil and gas across much of our leasehold in the Southern Wattenberg field. We have been successful at these endeavors as evidenced by the six 1,280 acre drill site spacing units that have been approved by the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC). We believe the improved takeaway capacity enhances the value of our undeveloped leasehold in the area and will lead to expedited development by us and other industry participants.
 
As an oil and natural gas exploration and production company, our revenue, results of operation, cash flow from operations, reserve values, access to capital and future rate of growth are influenced by the prevailing prices of oil and natural gas. Changes in prices can affect, both positively and negatively, our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing, operating results, and the amount of oil and natural gas that we choose to produce. Prevailing prices for such commodities fluctuate in response to changes in supply and demand and a variety of additional factors beyond our control, such as global, political and economic conditions. Inherently, the price received for oil and natural gas production is unpredictable, and such volatility is expected. All our production is sold at market prices and, therefore, the amount of revenue that we realize, as well as our estimates of future revenues, is largely determined by factors beyond our control. To date we have not entered into hedging arrangements with respect to any of our future production, but we may choose to do so in the future.
 
Recent Developments
 
Following are what we believe to be significant developments for our company during the first nine months of 2018:
 
We substantially completed development activities on all fourteen - Shook wells which were placed on-line and produced 61,345 bbls of oil (gross) and 41,332 mcf of natural gas (gross) during the third quarter. Net production to our interest was 27,972 BOE.
 
We participated in the completion of 18 gross horizontal wells operated by other parties. These wells are now in production and contributed 46.1% of our revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
 
We continued to improve our operating performance, producing 112,564 BOE for the third quarter, compared to 96,724 BOE and 61,200 BOE during the second and first quarters of the year, respectively.Average daily production for the third quarter was 1,224 BOE/D, compared to 1,063 BOE/D during the second quarter. Average realized sales price was $44.02 per BOE for the first nine months of 2018, compared to $33.90 per BOE during the comparable period of 2017;
 
 
21
 
 
Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
We agreed to participate with Providence Energy Operators (PEO) in the acquisition of mineral interests located in Adams County, Colorado. Our participation is expected to add approximately 840 net mineral acres at a cost of $4.6 million. The area is prospective for horizontal development in the Niobrara and Codell zones.
 
In an exchange transaction with one of our lenders, we traded our interests in several non-operated wells (four producing wells and eight wells that were in various stages of drilling and completion) to fully satisfy our obligations under the supplemental line of credit with an outstanding balance of $2.1 million.
 
Going Concern
 
As described in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This qualification is based on, among other things, our maturing debt obligations, accumulated losses and negative working capital. We are dependent on obtaining additional cash flow from operations and funding from the sale of debt or equity to continue as a going concern.
 
At September 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $1.7 million. Our working capital, consisting of current assets of $14.0 million compared to $65.3 million of current liabilities was a negative $51.3. Significant current liabilities due on or before December 2018 are the principal and accrued interest of $9.8 million on our convertible notes and $4.6 million on our participation agreement payable. Furthermore, each month we are required to make interest payments of $0.4 million on our Secured Credit Facility as well as payments related to our ongoing operated and non-operated drilling operations. We generated net losses of $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $10.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the success of our fundraising, future drilling, exploration and development efforts, and our ability to generate cash flow sufficient to cover our costs and expenses. In the event we are unable to obtain adequate funding from the sale of debt or equity securities and our ongoing drilling efforts, both operated and non-operated, we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate certain of our planned operations, reduce overall overhead expense, or divest assets. This, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our ability to realize the value of our assets.
 
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017
 
Overview: For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we realized a net loss of $1.4 million or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $0.08 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Our results improved primarily because crude oil sales prices increased and production volumes increased. During the 2018 quarter, we began selling oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from the Shook wells in our Todd Creek Farms area and realized increased production from our interests in non-operated wells. Our production averaged 1,224 BOE/D during the third quarter of 2018 compared to 996 BOE/D in the third quarter of 2017.

Excludes depreciation of $13,265 and $12,757 not related to oil and gas properties for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
Revenues: Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue was $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Revenue increased $2.4 million or 83% because our average sales price per BOE increased 49.5% and our sales volume increased 22.8%. Our adoption of the new accounting standard for revenue recognition in 2018 did not have a significant impact on revenues.
 
Volumes and Prices: Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales volumes of 112,564 BOE for the three months ended September 30, 2018, were up 22.82% from 91,653 BOE for the third quarter of 2017. The quarterly increase in sales volumes came from new wells that came on-line since the third quarter of 2017 coupled with the Shook wells coming online in July 2018, somewhat offset by natural decline curves in wells which have been producing for more than one year. On a BOE basis, our sales were comprised of 59% crude oil, 30% natural gas, and 11% natural gas liquids. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our average realized price for all three product types in our sales volumes was $46.30 per BOE, compared to $30.97 per BOE for the comparable period in 2017. Our realized average price per BOE is most significantly affected by the price of the crude oil component. The average realized price for crude oil was $64.11 per Bbl in 2018 and $45.14 per Bbl in 2017.

 $459,754 
 
Total operating expense increased $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Much of the increase in the transportation component was due to pipeline charges as we commenced delivery of product from our Shook pad. Furthermore, severance and ad-valorem taxes are directly related to the sales value of volumes sold, and the value of our volumes increased from $30.97 to $46.30 per BOE.
 
Lifting costs per BOE were $2.02 and $2.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease of approximately 3% occurred because the increased BOE sales volume of 23% more than offset the increased lifting costs of approximately 19% which resulted primarily from additional costs incurred on the start-up of the Shook facility as the wells commenced production. Lifting costs are most directly affected by the number and type of wells producing during the period. Lifting costs are typically greater for a horizontal well compared to a vertical well. We have interests in 11.2 net horizontal wells in 2018 compared to 2.86 net horizontal wells in 2017. Lifting costs per BOE are expected to decrease as the wells achieve flush production. As a percent of crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue, lifting cost was 4.36% and 6.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Production taxes were 7.44% and 7.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Transportation and other costs were 5.82% and 2.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense: The calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization expense (“DDA”) is directly related to proved reserves and production volumes. DDA expense increased 102% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. Our DDA ratio (volumes of hydrocarbons produced compared to volumes of proved reserves) was 1.3% in 2018 and 1.6% in 2017. Net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties subject to DDA increased from $21.6 million at September 30, 2017 to $56.4 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of 160%. Thus, the change in the ratio applied to the increase in net capitalized costs resulted in an increased expense for the period. On a BOE basis, DDA expense was $15.02 during 2018 and $9.13 during 2017.
 
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased 18% to $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased professional services coupled with general and administrative expenses being reported net of certain cost recovery charges. As the operator of oil and gas properties, we incur certain general and administrative expenses (“overhead”) on behalf of our non-operating partners. Our joint operating agreements typically require the non-operating partner to reimburse us for their share of the overhead. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we invoiced our partners $0.1 million for overhead reimbursement. The quarter ended September 30, 2017 did not include any reimbursements.
 
Interest expense: Interest expense includes interest incurred and paid at the rate specified in each respective borrowing arrangement and the expense associated with accretion of debt discounts recorded in connection with the borrowing arrangements. Furthermore, certain interest expense may be capitalized into the carrying cost of oil and gas properties. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

Change in fair value – derivative liability: During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized other income of $0.1 million related to a change in the fair value of the compound derivative liability embedded in the Secured Credit Facility. Accounting standards require us to re-measure the value of the derivative liability each reporting period, and any changes in fair value are included in Other income or Other expense. Changes in fair value can be material. During the comparable period in 2017, we did not have any derivative liabilities.
 
Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017
 
Overview: For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we realized a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million or $0.18 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our results improved primarily because crude oil sales prices increased and because production volumes increased. During the third quarter of 2018, we began selling oil from the Shook wells in our Todd Creek Farm area and realized increased production from our interests in non-operated wells. Our production averaged 991 BOE/D during the first nine months of 2018 compared to 946 BOE/D in the first nine months of 2017.

Excludes depreciation of $44,863 and $33,183 not related to oil and gas properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively.
 
              Revenues: Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue was $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Revenue increased $3.1 million because our average sales price per BOE increased 29.8% and our sales volume increased 4.72%. Our adoption of the new accounting standard for revenue recognition in 2018 did not have a significant impact on revenues.
 
Volumes and Prices: Crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales volumes of 270,490 BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, were up 4.7% from 258,308 BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in sales volumes came from new wells that came on-line since the third quarter of 2017, our Shook wells that came online in July 2018 somewhat offset by natural decline curves in wells which have been producing for more than one year. On a BOE basis, our sales were comprised of 57% crude oil, 30% natural gas, and 13% natural gas liquids.
 
 For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our average realized price for the three products types in our sales volumes was $44.02 per BOE, compared to $33.90 per BOE for the comparable period in 2017. Our realized average price per BOE is most significantly affected by the price of the crude oil component. The average realized price for crude oil was $63.16 per Bbl in 2018 and $45.06 per Bbl in 2017.

  150,979 
Total
 $2,161,843 
 $1,373,074 
 
Total operating expense increased $0.8 million to $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Much of the increase in the transportation component was due to pipeline charges as we commenced delivery of product from our Shook pad. Furthermore, severance and ad-valorem taxes are directly related to the sales value of volumes sold, and the value of our volumes increased from $33.90 to $44.02 per BOE.
 
Additionally, lifting costs per BOE were $2.66 and $2.40 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase of approximately 11% resulted from additional costs incurred on the start-up of the Shook facility as the wells commenced production. Costs per BOE are expected to decrease as the wells achieve flush production. As a percent of crude oil, natural gas and NGL sales revenue, lifting cost was 6.05% and 7.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Production taxes were 7.1% and 6.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Transportation and other costs were 5.0% and 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense: The calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization expense (“DDA”) is directly related to proved reserves and production volumes. DDA expense increased $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 2017. Our DDA ratio (volumes of hydrocarbons produced compared to volumes of proved reserves) was 4.2% in 2018 and 4.4% in 2017. Net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties subject to DDA increased from $21.6 million at September 30, 2017 to $56.4 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of 160%. Thus, the change in the ratio applied to the increase in net capitalized costs resulted in an increased expense for the period. On a BOE basis, DDA expense was $13.27 during 2018 and $8.79 during 2017.
 
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased 37% to $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to overhead reimbursements received from our non-operating partners for general and administrative expenses incurred during the development phase of our Shook facility.
 
As the operator of oil and gas properties, we incur certain general and administrative expenses (“overhead”) on behalf of our non-operating partners. Our joint operating agreements typically require the non-operating partner to reimburse us for their share of the overhead. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we invoiced our partners $1.2 million for overhead reimbursement. The nine months ended September 30, 2017 did not include any reimbursements.
 
Interest expense: Interest expense includes interest incurred and paid at the contract rate specified in each of the respective borrowing arrangement and the expense associated with accretion of debt discounts recorded in connection with the borrowing arrangements. Furthermore, certain interest expense may be capitalized into the carrying cost of oil and gas properties.

Change in fair value – derivative liability: During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized other income of $0.1 million related to a change in the fair value of the compound derivative liability embedded in the Secured Credit Facility. Accounting standards require us to re-measure the value of the derivative liability each reporting period, and any changes in fair value are included in Other income or Other expense. Changes in fair value can be material. During the comparable period in 2017, we did not have any derivative liabilities.
  
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Overview
 
 As noted above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to accumulated net losses, need for capital, and substantial near-term liabilities. Our working capital deficit increased from $17.8 million at December 31, 2017 to $51.3 million at September 30, 2018 related primarily to the costs of developing our operated and non-operated properties. At September 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $1.7 million. We have significant maturing debt obligations during the remaining months of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019 such as our convertible notes payable with an outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $9.8 million.  Furthermore, we owe amounts to PEO that include the payable for our participation agreement of $4.6 million and accrued financing fees of $1.3 million. We have also recorded and accrued significant payables related to the development of our Shook wells that will need to be addressed in the near term.
 
 
27
 
 
We temporarily improved our liquidity with a $25 million Secured Credit Facility. At the first closing in 2017, we received $5 million that was used to satisfy accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising from our development and operating activities. At the second closing, in February 2018, approximately $7.6 million was applied to reduce outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Initial and Supplemental Lines of Credit, and net cash proceeds of $11.2 million were received. Proceeds received from the second closing were subsequently primarily used for development expenditures on our Shook wells. At closing, loan origination fees of $1.2 million were withheld from the net proceeds.
 
The amount we invest in development, drilling, and leasing activities depends upon, among other factors, our fundraising efforts, opportunities presented to us, and the results of drilling to date. The most significant of our future capital requirements, in addition to repayment of debt and payment of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, include (i) costs to drill or participate in additional wells; (ii) costs to acquire additional acreage that we may identify in the Southern Core area or other areas; (iii) approximately $0.5 million per month for salaries and other corporate overhead; and (iv) legal and accounting fees associated with our requirement as a public company to file reports with the SEC. We anticipate funding these projected capital requirements with proceeds from the sale of debt or equity, the success of which cannot be assured, and cash flow from operations.
 
We continue to seek additional outside financing on an expedited basis.
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.1 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing increased utilization of cash of $4.2 million. The most significant differences between the two periods were significant increases in accounts receivable related to production, increases in prepaid expenses and other assets, cash used to address accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by increases in revenue distributions payable and revenue distributions payable – related party.
 
We expect to continue operating at a loss until the anticipated cash flow from the wells in which we have an interest is sufficient to cover operating, general and administrative and other expenses; however, we believe that our cash flow from our currently producing operated and non-operated properties is sufficient to cover our recurring general and administrative expenses.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $10.1 million compared to $11.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, representing a decrease of $1.1 million. Cash expenditures on completion activities on the Shook pad continued during the 2018 period as we completed fracture stimulation and facilities. Related to our interests in properties operated by third parties, substantial development occurred during the nine-month period, and we have not yet reimbursed the third parties.  We will be required to expend funds for those costs in the near term. In the 2017 period, cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of our share of costs related the Jacobucci pad and initial work performed on our Shook pad.
 
Financing Activities
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we closed on the Secured Credit Facility which provided net cash proceeds of $11.2 million and provided the resources to repay $6.5 million in principal and $1.1 million in accrued interest from other financings. The total face value of the Secured Credit Facility is $25.0 million, including the $5.0 million that originated in 2017.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no material off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, or obligations.

CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This report contains or incorporates by reference “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about our financial condition, results of operations, and business. These statements include, among others:
 
Statements about our anticipated operated and non-operated drilling programs, the cost and feasibility related to such, receipt of permits or other regulatory approvals, and plans for the development of our properties;
 
Statements concerning the benefits or outcomes that we expect from our business activities and certain transactions that we contemplate or have completed, such as the receipt of proceeds, increased revenues, decreased expenses and expenditures; and
 
Other statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated developments and other matters that are not historical facts.
 
The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “will,” “would” and similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements and information are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies, and there can be no assurance that such statements and information will prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and information. We caution you not to put undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Further, the information contained in this document or incorporated herein by reference is a statement of our present intention and is based on present facts and assumptions, and may change at any time and without notice, based on changes in such facts or assumptions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
 
The important factors that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements and prevent us from achieving our stated goals and objectives include, but are not limited to:
 
Changes in the general economy affecting the disposable income of the public;
 
Changes in environmental law, including federal, state and local legislation;
 
Changes in drilling requirements imposed by state or local laws or regulations;
 
Terrorist activities within and outside the United States;
 
Technological changes in the crude oil and natural gas industry;
 
Acts and omissions of third parties over which we have no control;
 
Changes in operating, exploration, development or overhead costs;
 
Inflation and the costs of goods or services used in our operations;
 
Access and availability of materials, equipment, supplies, labor, power, and water;
 
Interpretation of drill hole results and the uncertainty of reserve estimates;
 
The availability of sufficient pipeline and other transportation facilities to carry our production and the impact of these facilities on price;
 
 
29
 
 
The level of demand for the production of crude oil and natural gas;
 
Changes in our business strategy;
 
Failure to achieve expected production from drilling projects; and
 
Failure to obtain sufficient capital resources to fully fund planned capital expenditures.
 
Those factors discussed above, elsewhere in this report, and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are difficult to predict and expressly qualify all subsequent oral and written forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We do not have any intention or obligation to update forward-looking statements included in this report after the date of this report, except as required by law.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
PetroShare’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2018.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
