3. Property Sales

 

In December 2017, the Company received approximately $1.9 million in cash from a sale of joint venture leasehold marginal producing working interests in several thousand acres located in Ward and Midland Counties, Texas. Of these proceeds, approximately $1.518 million was applied to the Company’s bank debt and the balance to the Company’s working capital. Additionally, approximately $200,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow pending payment of closing costs and resolution of title issues as to a small portion of the sale assets. This amount is reflected in accounts receivable escrow on our consolidated balance sheets.

  

During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company sold for a total consideration of $460,461, leasehold interests in 137 net acres in the Scoop-Stack areas of Canadian and Grady Counties, Oklahoma. The first of these transactions in which the Company retained its interests in the existing producing wellbores on the acreage was in the amount of $336,730. The second transaction in the amount of $123,731 included the producing wellbores as well as the acreage. Of these proceeds, $410,000 was applied to reduce bank indebtedness and the balance of $50,461 was applied to working capital of the Company.

 

Subsequently, in January 2018, the Company sold additional leasehold interests in the Scoop-Stack area of Grady County, Oklahoma for $46,000 which the Company used to reduce bank indebtedness. The Company retained its interests in the existing producing wellbore on the acreage.
