Business – LongPoint Minerals II, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cherry Creek Minerals, LLC (collectively, the “Company” or “LongPoint II”) is a Colorado Limited Liability Company focused on acquiring mineral and royalty interests primarily in the Mid-Continent and Permian Basins.

 

LongPoint II does not have employees but rather entered into a “Services Agreement” with LongPoint Operating, LLC (“LongPoint Operating”) to provide all requisite management, technical and administrative support services. LongPoint Operating is a holding company which is owned by the Chief Executive Officer of LongPoint II. LongPoint Operating has entered into a Services Agreement with FourPoint Energy, LLC (“FourPoint”) to provide the services required under the LongPoint II/ LongPoint Operating Services Agreement. FourPoint employs the necessary people to perform the services required under the Services Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, LongPoint II was assessed an agreed upon balance of General and Administrative costs by FourPoint as payment for the services provided.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These consolidated interim financial statements (the “financial statements)” reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Significant Accounting Policies – For a description of LongPoint II’s significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 audited financial statements. There have been no changes to the policies or the application of such policies during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Disaggregation of Income

 

The following table disaggregates the Company’s total oil and gas sales by product type:

 

   FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30,
 
   2023   2022 
Gas sales  $6,090   $12,193 
Oil Sales   20,620    24,823 
Natural gas liquids sales   6,035    8,062 
Oil and gas sales  $32,745   $45,078 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk – The Company regularly has cash in a single financial institution which exceeds federal depository insurance limits. The Company places such deposits with high credit quality institutions and has not experienced any credit losses. The Company is subject to credit risk related to oil and gas receivables due from operators related to sale of hydrocarbons produced from properties in which LongPoint II owns a mineral or overriding royalty interest. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, 17% of LongPoint II’s oil and gas revenues related to the operations of CP Exploration III Operating LLC. No other operators provided more than 10% of the Company’s revenues during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, 12%, 12%, 10% and 10% of LongPoint II’s oil and gas revenues related to the operations of Continental Resources Inc., Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC (a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation), CP Exploration III Operating LLC and EOG Resources, Inc., respectively. No other operators provided more than 10% of the Company’s revenues during the period.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents and trade payables. The carrying value of these financial instruments are considered to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Accounting for Oil and Gas Operations – The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, all costs related to acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized to the full cost pool. The Company’s oil and gas properties are comprised of only mineral and overriding royalty interests, as such, the Company has not incurred any exploration or development costs. Proceeds from the disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. Any impairments of unproved properties are charged to the full cost pool when impaired.

LONGPOINT MINERALS II, LLC AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Depletion of capitalized costs of oil and gas properties is provided for using the units of production method based upon estimates of proved oil and gas reserves. In calculating depletion, the volume of proved oil and gas reserves and production is converted into a common unit of measure at the energy equivalent conversion rate of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil. Depletion expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5.3 million ($5.93 per barrel of oil equivalent) and $4.7 million ($6.18 per barrel of oil equivalent), respectively.

 

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties – In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as the sum of (a) estimated future net revenues, discounted at 10% per annum, from proved reserves, based on the simple average of the commodity prices posted on the first day of each month in the respective year, adjusted for existing contracts, (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, and (c) the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in the cost being amortized. If the net book value exceeds the ceiling, the book balance of the properties are written down to the ceiling via an impairment charge. No impairment to proved properties was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. In May 2019, ASU 2016-13 was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses and ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2016-13, as amended, applies to trade receivables, financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. This ASU replaces the currently required incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted this update effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity since it does not have a history of, or material exposure to, credit losses.

 

2.Sale of Cherry Creek Minerals, LLC:

 

In May 2023, the Committee of Managers launched a process to market the mineral and royalty assets of LongPoint II for sale. As a result of the marketing process, in July 2023 the Committee of Managers informed management that it had selected an offer from a bidder for total cash consideration of $455.0 million for all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Cherry Creek Minerals, LLC. Cherry Creek Minerals, LLC holds all of the mineral and royalty interests of the Company. The purchase agreement with respect to the transaction was executed in early August 2023 and the transaction closed on September 13, 2023. The total consideration of $455.0 million is below the carrying amount of Company which indicates that the Company will record a loss on the sale of Cherry Creek Minerals, LLC during the third quarter of 2023.

3.Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Legal Proceedings - The Company may from time to time be involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business or from activities associated with properties prior to their acquisition by the Company. 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, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

Lease Commitments – The Company is not subject to any lease commitments. As of June 30, 2023, all leases incurred in the ordinary course of business were held by FourPoint and LongPoint II receives the benefit of such leases under the “Services Agreement” with LongPoint Operating.

 

4.Members’ Capital:

 

Capitalization and Distributions – LongPoint II is a Colorado limited liability company with membership interests owned by a group of investor members (the “Investor Members”) and LongPoint Holdings, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Holdings”).

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made distributions to the Investor Members and Holdings of $51.1 million and $29.4 million, respectively.

 

The state of Oklahoma requires operators to withhold 5% of all production revenues associated with royalty interests held by non-residents of Oklahoma to be offset against state income taxes. Similarly, the state of New Mexico requires operators to withhold 4.9% of all production revenues associated with all interests held by non-residents. As LongPoint II is not subject to income taxes as a limited liability company, the tax liability associated with the operations of LongPoint II is the responsibility of the Investor Members and Holdings. As such, the balance of the state withholdings has been reflected as an equity distribution. The total distributions attributable to state withholdings in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

 

5.Related Party Transactions:

 

LongPoint II incurred total fees of $1.7 million related to the Services Agreement with LongPoint Operating during each six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. These fees are reflected in “General and administrative” line in the statements of operations.
