Production Payment Liability

Note 8 – Production Payment Liability

 

In December 2014, the Company entered into a financing agreement with two related party entities. The Company received $300,000 in total from both entities to fund costs of the Yowlumne 2-26 well recompletion. In return for the funds received, the two entities will receive a combined 75% of the net revenue from the well until the $300,000 is repaid. At the time of repayment, the entities will own a total 3% overriding royalty on the well. This liability is completely dependent on the well generating revenue.

 

If the well fails to generate enough revenue to repay the $300,000, Citadel is not responsible for the unpaid amount. According to ASC 932-470-25 Section B, Funds advanced to an operator that are repayable in cash out of the proceeds from a specified share of future production of a producing property, until the amount advanced $300,000 is paid in full, shall be accounted for as a borrowing. The advance is a payable for the recipient of the cash invested. Given the well is not currently on production coupled with the high cost of water disposal, we believe it will take more than two years for payback to occur; therefore this has been classified as a long-term payable.
