Note 1—Organization and Basis of Preparation | |
Nature of Operations. Evolution Petroleum Corporation (“EPM”) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), is an independent petroleum company headquartered in Houston, Texas and incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are engaged primarily in the development of incremental oil and gas reserves within known oil and gas resources for our shareholders and customers utilizing conventional and proprietary technology. | |
Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the appropriate rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. The interim financial information and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year. | |
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EPM and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: NGS Sub Corp and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tertiaire Resources Company, Evolution Operating Co., Inc. Evolution Petroleum OK, Inc. and NGS Technologies, Inc. and its three wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements for the previous period may include certain reclassifications that were made to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported loss or stockholders’ equity. | |
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include reserve quantities and estimated future cash flows associated with proved reserves, which significantly impact depletion expense and potential impairments of oil and natural gas properties, income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and commitments and contingencies. We analyze our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. While we believe that our estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. | |

Note 6— Stockholders’ Equity | |
Common Stock | |
During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 we issued (i) 1,518,832 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of incentive stock options (ISOs), receiving cash proceeds totaling $3.2 million, and (ii) 2,635,696 of our common shares upon cashless exercises of nonqualified stock options (NQSOs) and incentive warrants, all being exercised on a net basis, except for 50,956 of previously acquired shares owned by option holders that were swapped in payment of the exercise price. The weighted average cost of these swapped shares was $12.14. | |
Additional paid-in capital increased $5.4 million, due to $1.5 million of stock compensation amortization ($0.4 million of which in the restructuring charge), $3.8 million from the exercise of stock options and warrants listed in (i) and (ii) above, and $0.1 million from tax benefits associated with stock compensation (i.e. windfall tax benefit). | |
Additional paid-in capital decreased by $3.2 million, due to the retirement of 801,889 shares of treasury stock acquired in previous fiscal years at a cost of approximately $1 million, and our purchase of 181,025 shares of Treasury Stock from employees and directors at an average cost of $12.21 per share or $2.2 million. 130,069 of such shares were in satisfaction of payroll tax liabilities from exercises and restricted stock vestings (requiring cash outlays by us) and 50,956 shares were received from option holders in “swap” cashless stock option exercises, using stock previously owned by the option holder. These acquisitions reduced the number of our common shares outstanding by 982,914 shares. | |
As the result of a common stock dividend policy approved by the Board of Directors in November 2013, March 31, 2014 retained earnings were reduced by $6.5 million of cash dividends we made to our common shareholders. Since we expect the windfall tax benefit created by the recent exercise of warrants and NQSOs will drive our tax earnings and profits account into a deficit at June 30, 2014, all cash dividends on common shares paid in fiscal 2014 will be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital and not as dividend income to the shareholder. | |
Recovery of Stockholder Short Swing Profit | |
In September 2013, an executive officer of the Company paid $6,850 to the Company, representing the disgorgement of short swing profits under Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act. The amount was recorded as additional paid-in capital. | |
Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock | |
At March 31, 2014, there were 317,319 shares of the Company’s 8.5% Series A Cumulative (perpetual) Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and cannot be converted into our common stock. There are no sinking fund or redemption rights available to holders thereof. Optional redemption can only be made by us on or after July 1, 2014 for the stated liquidation value of $25.00 per share plus accrued dividends, or earlier by an acquirer under a change of control at a redemption price of $25.25 per share. With respect to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common shareholders, but subordinate to any of our existing and future debt. Dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock accrue and accumulate at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, payable monthly at $0.177083 per share, as, if and when declared by our Board of Directors. | |
During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 we paid $505,726 of cash dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock. Since we expect the windfall tax benefit created by the recent exercise of warrants and NQSOs will drive our tax earnings and profits account into a deficit at June 30, 2014, cash dividends for fiscal 2014 will be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital and not as dividend income to the shareholder. | |

Fair Value Measurement | ' |
Note 8—Fair Value Measurement | |
Accounting guidelines for measuring fair value establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. | |
The three levels are defined as follows: | |
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2 — Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | |
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, receivables and payables. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximate fair value due to the highly liquid or short-term nature of these instruments. | |
Other Fair Value Measurements. The initial measurement of asset retirement obligations at fair value is calculated using discounted future cash flows of internally estimated costs. Significant Level 3 inputs used in the calculation of asset retirement obligations include the costs of plugging and abandoning wells, surface restoration and reserve lives. Subsequent to initial recognition, revisions to estimated asset retirement obligations are made when changes occur for input values, which we review quarterly. | |

Note 9 —Income Taxes | |
We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States and various combined and separate filings in several state and local jurisdictions. | |
There were no FIN 48 unrecognized tax benefits nor any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. We believe we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our tax returns and that the accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on our assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending June 30, 2009 through June 30, 2013. | |
Our effective tax rate for any period may differ from the statutory federal rate due to (i) our state income tax liability in Louisiana; (ii) stock-based compensation expense related to qualified incentive stock option awards (“ISO awards”), which creates a permanent tax difference for financial reporting, as these types of awards, if certain conditions are met, are not deductible for federal tax purposes; and (iii) statutory percentage depletion, which may create a permanent tax difference for financial reporting. | |
Our estimated annual income tax rate used to determine income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 does not include the utilization of statutory depletion deductions in excess of basis carried over from previous years that had driven our book tax rate well below statutory rates during the three months ended September 30, 2013. Instead our tax benefits were changed significantly during November and December 2013 when our employees, officers and directors exercised more than 4 million of 4.8 million stock options and incentive warrants, resulting in approximately $31.2 million of expected tax deductions (“Option Deductions”) available to us resulting in a tax impacted benefit of approximately $10.6 million assuming a 34% statutory rate. On a financial reporting basis, this is expected to result in a tax benefit associated with stock compensation (i.e. windfall tax benefit) to the extent of expected cash income taxes payable generated in fiscal year 2014. The remainder of the Option Deductions result in an unbenefitted net operating loss associated with stock compensation to benefit future fiscal years. To the extent the Option Deductions cause a net operating loss, no deferred tax asset is recorded under the rules of ASC 718. The Option Deductions will be recorded as a reduction in current income taxes payable each year and an increase in equity to the extent cash taxes payable are reduced to zero. | |
Because the Option Deductions are expected to reduce taxable income to zero for the year ended June 30, 2014, percentage depletion is no longer available for the current year, thus negating the beneficial rate reduction for the percentage depletion in excess of basis. Percentage depletion that is no longer expected to be deductible in 2014, will be carried forward to future years. The Option Deductions will only impact reported earnings by increasing the projected effective tax rate closer to the statutory rate in those years affected by the Option Deductions due to percentage depletion in excess of basis deduction being delayed and carried forward. Our effective annual tax rate estimated as March 31, 2014 was impacted by this postponement of depletion in excess of basis. Our estimated annual income tax rate used to determine income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 included the utilization of statutory depletion deductions carried over from previous years resulting in a higher than normal rate benefit from depletion in excess of basis which has been reversed in the current fiscal quarter. | |
We recognized income tax expense of $1,148,155 and $2,801,393 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, with corresponding effective rates of 37% and 34%. | |

Note 11 - Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement | |
On February 29, 2012, Evolution Petroleum Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides us with a revolving credit facility (the “facility”) in an amount up to $50,000,000 with availability governed by an Initial Borrowing Base of $5,000,000. A portion of the facility not in excess of $1,000,000 is available for the issuance of letters of credit. | |
The facility is unsecured and has a four year term. Our subsidiaries guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the facility. We may use the proceeds of any loans under the facility for the acquisition and development of Oil and Gas Properties (as defined in the facility), the issuance of letters of credit, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. | |
Semi-annually, the Borrowing Base and a Monthly Reduction Amount are re-determined from reserve reports. Requests by us to increase the $5,000,000 initial amount are subject to the Lender’s credit approval process, and are also limited to 25% of the value (as defined) of our Oil and Gas Properties. | |
At our option, borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate of either (i) an adjusted LIBOR rate (LIBOR rate divided by the remainder of 1 less the Lender’s Regulation D reserve requirement), or (ii) an adjusted Base Rate equal to the greater of the Lender’s prime rate or the sum of 0.50% and the Federal Funds Rate. A maximum of three LIBOR based loans can be outstanding at any time. Allowed loan interest periods are one, two, three and six months. LIBOR interest is payable at the end of the interest period except for six-month loans for which accrued interest is payable at three months and at end of term. Base Rate interest is payable monthly. Letters of credit bear fees reflecting 3.5% per annum rate applied to their principal amounts and are due when transacted. Their maximum term is one year. | |
A commitment fee of 0.50% per annum accrues on unutilized availability and is payable quarterly. We are responsible for certain administrative expenses of the Lender over the life of the Credit Agreement as well as for compensating the Lender $50,000 for incurred loan costs upon closing. | |
The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants including a requirement that we maintain a current ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1; a ratio of total funded Indebtedness to EBITDA of not more than 2.5 to 1, and a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3 to 1. The agreement specifies certain customary covenants, including restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries from pledging their assets, incurring defined Indebtedness outside of the facility other that permitted indebtedness, and it restricts certain asset sales. Payments of dividends for the Series A Preferred are only restricted by the EBITDA to interest coverage ratio, wherein Series A dividends are a 1X deduction from EBITDA (as opposed to a 3:1 requirement if dividends were treated as interest expense). The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lender may declare all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. | |
As of March 31, 2014, we had no borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in an available borrowing base capacity of $5,000,000. The Lender waived the provisions of the Credit Agreement pertaining to the past payments of cash dividends on our common stock. | |
In connection with this agreement we incurred $179,468 of debt issuance costs, which have been capitalized in Other Assets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. |
