Discontinued Operations

The Company determined that the planned divestiture of MHP met the assets held for sale criteria and the criteria for classification as discontinued operations as of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.  The Company included the results of operations for MHP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 in discontinued operations as follows:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
Revenues	$	698		$	1,874		$	2,948		$	5,402
Impairment of proved oil and natural gas properties		—			—			(6,849	)		—
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion		(182	)		(168	)		(523	)		(380	)
Other operating expenses		(1,317	)		(2,943	)		(5,668	)		(3,738	)
Other income		—			—			—			2
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(801	)	$	(1,237	)	$	(10,092	)	$	1,286

The Company had maintained an accrued liability of $3.5 million related to litigation involving MHP and a third-party regarding certain royalty and overriding royalty deductions and related payments under several farm-out agreements.  The litigation concluded in April 2019 and, as a result, the Company removed the accrued liability and recognized corresponding income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company determined that due to the depressed commodity price environment, the carrying value of MHP’s proved oil and gas properties was no longer fully recoverable.  The Company recorded an impairment of $6.8 million of its proved oil and gas properties in order to present the net assets and liabilities of MHP at the lower of carrying value and fair market value less costs to sell as of September 30, 2020.

Total operating and investing cash flows of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

(in thousands)	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2020			2019
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	693		$	1,189
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(82	)	$	14
