Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements present the historical consolidated financial statements of Contango Oil and Gas Company & Subsidiaries (“Contango”) and the historical consolidated financial statements of  White Star Petroleum, LLC (“White Star”), adjusted to give effect to the following transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”):

 

·

the acquisition by Contango of certain assets and liabilities, including approximately 315,000 net acres located in the STACK, Anadarko and Cherokee operating districts in Oklahoma (the “White Star Properties”) from White Star for a total purchase price of $132.5 million adjusted for the results of operations for the period between the effective and closing dates, and other estimated customary closing adjustments, and

 

·

the Private Placement of Contango’s Series B Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock and an increase in borrowings under Contango’s Credit Agreement to pay the purchase price for the White Star Properties.

 

Because Contango acquired substantially all of White Star’s operating assets, the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements combine the historical consolidated financial statements of Contango and White Star.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2018 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of Contango and the historical consolidated statements of operations of White Star, giving effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2018, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Contango and the historical consolidated balance sheet of White Star as of September 30, 2019, giving effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2019.  The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Transactions; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Contango’s results following the completion of the Transactions.  

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:

 

·

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements;

 

·

the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Contango as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018;

 

·

the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Contango as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019;

 

·

the historical audited consolidated financial statements of White Star as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018;

 

·

the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of White Star as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019;

 

·

other information relating to Contango and White Star included elsewhere within this filing.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

Overview

The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements have been prepared assuming the acquisition of the White Star Properties is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under  the acquisition method of accounting, the White Star Properties will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Transactions had taken place on September 30, 2019 in the case of the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined balance sheet and on January 1, 2018 in the case of the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined statements of operations.

 

ASC 805 uses the fair value concepts defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”).    ASC 820 defines the term “fair value,” sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

 

Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred, or if related to the issuance of debt, capitalized as debt issuance costs. Acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred as part of the Transactions include advisory, legal and accounting fees. Equity issuance costs are netted against the offering proceeds.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) Contango’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30,  2019, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and ii) White Star’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30,  2019, both of which are included in the exhibits attached.

 

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this filing and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial statements do not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the business combination and the other related Transactions that are not expected to have a continuing impact. Further, one-time transaction-related expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, closing the Transactions are not included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined statements of operations. However, the impact of such transaction expenses is reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined balance sheet as a decrease to retained earnings and a decrease to cash.

Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018:

 

a.

Represents Contango’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

b.

Represents White Star’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Exhibit 99.3

c.

The following reclassifications were made to conform White Star to Contango’s presentation:

·

Reclassification of $238.3 million of Oil, natural gas and NGL sales to $152.8 million of Oil and condensate sales, $39.7 million of Natural gas sales and $45.8 million to Natural gas liquids sales

·

Reclassification of $11.6 million Gain on derivative instruments from Revenues to Other income (expense).

·

Reclassification of $60.4 million of Production expenses, $34.7 million of Gathering, processing and transportation and $11.5 million of Production taxes to Operating expenses.

d.

Adjustment to record a net reduction in depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the White Star Properties had they been acquired on January 1, 2018.  The net reduction results from a decrease in the carrying value of the White Star Properties as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting.

e.

Adjustment to eliminate historical interest expense related to debt issued by White Star that was not assumed by Contango.

f.

Represents additional interest expense that would have been incurred with respect to additional Contango borrowings in connection with the acquisition of the White Star Properties, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018.

g.

Adjustment to eliminate historical other income of White Star’s that was related to assets not acquired by Contango.

h.

The historical financial statements of Contango do not reflect any deferred tax assets because a full valuation allowance has been recorded against such assets. Therefore, the pro forma adjustments do not reflect any tax benefit.

i.

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share was computed by dividing the pro forma net loss by Contango’s weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect, on an as converted basis, to the Series B Contingent Convertible Preferred as if it had been issued on January 1, 2018.

 

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

 

a.

Represents Contango’s  historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

b.

Represents White Star’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

c.

The following reclassifications were made to conform White Star to Contango’s presentation:

·

Reclassification of $119.8 million of Oil, natural gas and NGL sales to $80.4 million of Oil and condensate sales, $21.5 million of Natural gas sales and $18.0 million to Natural gas liquids sales.  

·

Reclassification of $18.9 million Loss on derivative instruments from Revenues to Other income (expense).

·

Reclassification of $37.3 million of Production expenses, $19.2 million of Gathering, processing and transportation and $6.4 million of Production taxes to Operating expenses.

 

Exhibit 99.3

d.

Adjustment to record a net reduction in depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to the White Star Properties had they been acquired on January 1, 2018.  The net reduction results from a decrease in the carrying value of the White Star Properties as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting.

e.

Adjustment to eliminate historical interest expense related to debt issued by White Star that was not assumed by Contango.

f.

Represents additional interest expense that would have been incurred with respect to additional Contango borrowings in connection with the acquisition of the White Star Properties, had such acquisition occurred on January 1, 2018.

g.

Adjustment to eliminate historical reorganizational items that will not have an ongoing effect on Contango and other income of White Star’s that was related to assets not acquired by Contango.

h.

The historical financial statements of Contango do not reflect any deferred tax assets because a full valuation allowance has been recorded against such assets.  Therefore, the pro forma adjustments do not reflect any tax benefit.

i.

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share was computed by dividing the pro forma net loss by Contango’s weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect, on an as converted basis, to the Series B Contingent Convertible Preferred as if it had been issued on January 1, 2018.

 

Pro Forma Adjustments to the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2019:

 

a.

Represents Contango’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30,  2019.

b.

Represents White Star’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019.

c.

Reflects the exclusion of White Star’s net assets and liabilities which are not being acquired or assumed by Contango.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The following pro forma standardized measure of the discounted net future cash flows and changes applicable to proved reserves reflect the effect of income taxes assuming the White Star Properties had been subject to federal income tax. The future cash flows are discounted at 10% per year and assume continuation of existing economic conditions.

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, in management’s opinion, should be examined with caution. The basis for this table is the reserve studies prepared by independent petroleum engineering consultants, which contain imprecise estimates of quantities and rates of production of reserves. Revisions of previous year estimates can have a significant impact on these results. Also, exploration costs in one year may lead to significant discoveries in later years and may significantly change previous estimates of proved reserves and their valuation. Therefore, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of proved oil and gas properties.

The data presented should not be viewed as representing the expected cash flow from or current value of, existing proved reserves since the computations are based on a large number of estimates and arbitrary assumptions. Reserve quantities cannot be measured with precision and their estimation requires many judgmental determinations

Exhibit 99.3

and frequent revisions. Actual future prices and costs are likely to be substantially different from the prices and costs utilized in the computation of reported amounts.
