Fresh-start accounting adjustments

11)

Adjustment reflects the write-off of debt issuance costs associated with the Senior Credit Agreement of $10.2 million and the write-off of prepaid expenses related to $1.2 million of premiums for the Predecessor Company’s directors and officers’ insurance policy.

12)

Includes the reclassification of treating equipment and gathering support facilities from “Other operating property and equipment” to “Oil and natural gas properties, evaluated.” The Successor Company’s policy of accounting for its treating equipment and gathering support facilities identifies these assets as part of the Company’s full cost pool due to their supporting nature to the Company’s oil and natural gas operations.

13)

Reflects the adjustment to fair value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and unproved acreage, as well as the elimination of accumulated depletion.

In estimating the fair value of its oil and natural gas properties, the Company used a combination of the income and market approaches. For purposes of estimating the fair value of the Company’s proved reserves, an income approach was used which estimated fair value based on the anticipated cash flows associated with the Company’s reserves, risked by reserve category and discounted using a weighted average cost of capital rate of 10.0%. The proved reserve locations were limited to wells expected to be drilled in the Company’s five year development plan. Weighted average commodity prices utilized in the determination of the fair value of oil and natural gas properties were $71.51 per barrel of oil, $3.37 per MMBtu of natural gas and $29.50 per barrel of natural gas liquids. Base pricing was derived from an average of forward strip prices and analysts’ estimated prices.

In estimating the fair value of the Company’s unproved acreage, a market approach was used in which a review of recent transactions involving properties in the same geographical location indicated the fair value of the Company’s unproved acreage from a market participant perspective.

14)

Reflects the adjustment to fair value of the Company’s other operating property and equipment, as well as the elimination of accumulated depreciation.

For purposes of estimating the fair value of its other operating property and equipment, the Company used a combination of the market and cost approaches. A market approach was relied upon to value land and vehicles, and in this valuation approach, recent transactions of similar assets were utilized to determine the value from a market participant perspective. For the remaining other operating assets, a cost approach was used. The estimation of fair value under the cost approach was based on current replacement costs of the assets, less depreciation based on the estimated economic useful lives of the assets and age of the assets.

15)

Upon adoption of fresh start accounting, the Company’s lease obligations were recalculated using the incremental borrowing rate applicable to the Company upon emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy and commensurate with its new capital structure. The incremental borrowing rate used decreased from 4.83% in the Predecessor period to 3.70% in the Successor period. Additionally represents the removal of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities associated with the Company’s compressors, as the remaining contract term of the compressor leases were less than one year as of the Effective Date. See Note 4, “Leases,” for details associated with the Company’s short-term lease costs.

16)

Reflects the cumulative effect of the fresh-start accounting adjustments discussed above.
