SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Battalion Oil Corporation (Battalion or the Company) was formerly named Halcón Resources Corporation (Halcón). On January 21, 2020, Battalion filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Halcón Resources Corporation to Battalion Oil Corporation. Battalion is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, production, exploration and development of onshore liquids‑rich oil and natural gas assets in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority‑owned, controlled subsidiaries. The Company operates in one segment which focuses on oil and natural gas acquisition, production, exploration and development. Allocation of capital is made across the Company’s entire portfolio without regard to operating area. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, the periods presented. During interim periods, Battalion follows the accounting policies disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 25, 2020. Please refer to the notes in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K when reviewing interim financial results. Risk and Uncertainties The Company is continuously monitoring the current and potential impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on its business, including how it has and may continue to impact its operations, financial results, liquidity, contractors, customers, employees and vendors, and taking appropriate actions in response, including reducing capital expenditures, temporarily shutting-in producing wells, and implementing various measures to ensure the continued operation of its business in a safe and secure manner. COVID-19 and governmental actions to contain the pandemic have contributed to an economic downturn, reduced demand for oil and natural gas and, together with a price war between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)/Saudi Arabia and Russia, depressed oil and natural gas prices to historically low levels. Although OPEC and Russia agreed in April to reduce production, downward pressure on prices has continued and could continue for the foreseeable future, particularly given concerns over the impacts of the current economic downturn on demand. The Company is unable to predict the effect that these events will have on its business and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that governmental or other actions taken to limit the extent and duration of the outbreak, in conjunction with economic conditions, will have on its business, demand for oil and natural gas, and oil and natural gas prices. The health of the Company’s employees, contractors and vendors, and its ability to meet staffing needs in its operations and critical functions cannot be predicted, nor can the impact on the Company’s customers, vendors and contractors. Any material effect on these parties could adversely impact the Company. These and other factors could affect the Company’s operations, earnings and cash flows and could cause its results to not be comparable to those of the same period in previous years. For example, the Company realized lower revenue as a result of commodity price declines, which began in March 2020. In response to low commodity prices, the Company temporarily shut-in producing wells in May and June 2020, which further contributed to lower revenues in the current year. Additionally, as discussed further in Note 7, “Oil and Natural Gas Properties,” the Company incurred ceiling test impairments, which were primarily driven by a decline in the average pricing used in the valuation of the Company’s reserves. The results presented in this Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. For further information regarding the actual and potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Emergence From Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 On August 7, 2019 (the Petition Date), the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court) to pursue a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Plan). The Company’s chapter 11 proceedings were administered under the caption In re Halcón Resources Corporation, et al. (Case No. 19-34446). On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan and on October 8, 2019, the Plan became effective (the Effective Date) and the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy. See Note 2, “ Reorganization, ” for further details on the Company’s chapter 11 bankruptcy and the Plan. Upon emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852, Reorganizations (ASC 852) which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on the Effective Date. The Company elected to apply fresh-start accounting effective October 1, 2019, to coincide with the timing of its normal fourth quarter reporting period, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. The Company evaluated and concluded that events between October 1, 2019 and October 8, 2019 were immaterial and use of an accounting convenience date of October 1, 2019 was appropriate. Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh-start reporting date. As a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to October 1, 2019 are not comparable to its consolidated financial statements prior to, and including, October 1, 2019. See Note 3, “Fresh-start Accounting,” for further details on the impact of fresh-start accounting on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to October 1, 2019. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, October 1, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions that, in the opinion of management of the Company, are significant include oil and natural gas revenue accruals, capital and operating expense accruals, oil and natural gas reserves, depletion relating to oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations, fair value estimates, including estimates of Reorganization Value, Enterprise Value and the fair value of assets, liabilities and warrants recorded as a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for the full year and accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, has been condensed or omitted. The Company has evaluated events or transactions through the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included in “ Cash and cash equivalents ” and “ Restricted cash ” reconcile to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as follows: Successor September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,827 $ 5,701 Restricted cash — 4,574 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 1,827 $ 10,275 Restricted cash consisted of funds related to payments prescribed under the Plan that were held in an interest-bearing escrow account. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount due, less an allowance for doubtful accounts, when applicable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable if it determines that collection of all or part of the outstanding balance is doubtful. The Company regularly reviews collectability and establishes or adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary using the specific identification method. As of September 30, 2020 (Successor) and December 31, 2019 (Successor), allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Other Operating Property and Equipment Other operating property and equipment was recorded at fair value as a result of fresh-start accounting on October 1, 2019 and additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings, twenty years; automobiles and computers, three years; computer software, fixtures, furniture and equipment, the lesser of lease term or five years; trailers, seven years; heavy equipment, eight to ten years and leasehold improvements, lease term. Land and artwork are not depreciated. Upon disposition, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Material expenditures which increase the life or productive capacity of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The Company reviews its other operating property and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires the Company to evaluate other operating property and equipment for impairment as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then the Company would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. Further, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of its other operating property and equipment at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining depreciation periods. Restructuring During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company incurred none and approximately $2.6 million in restructuring charges, respectively, related to the consolidation into one corporate office and reductions in its workforce due to efforts to improve efficiencies and go forward costs. In May 2020 (Successor), in furtherance of the consolidation into one corporate office, the Company exercised a one-time early termination option under the lease agreement for the Company’s office space in Denver, Colorado. Refer to Note 4, “ Leases ,” for further details. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), several senior executives of the Company resigned from their positions. These were considered terminations without cause under their respective employment agreements, which entitled them to certain benefits. Additionally during the period, the Company made the decision to consolidate into one corporate office located in Houston, Texas in an effort to improve efficiencies and go forward costs. The transition includes both severance and relocation costs as well as incremental costs associated with hiring new employees to replace key positions. Consequently, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the Company incurred $3.2 million and approximately $15.1 million in restructuring charges. These costs were recorded in “Restructuring” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Concentrations of Credit Risk As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company’s primary concentrations of credit risk are the risks of uncollectible accounts receivable and of nonperformance by counterparties under the Company’s derivative contracts. Each reporting period, the Company assesses the recoverability of material receivables using historical data, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to determine expected collectability of its material receivables. The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers. The purchasers of the Company’s oil and natural gas production consist primarily of independent marketers, major oil and natural gas companies and gas pipeline companies. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts from its oil and natural gas purchasers. The Company operates a substantial portion of its oil and natural gas properties. As the operator of a property, the Company makes full payments for costs associated with the property and seeks reimbursement from the other working interest owners in the property for their share of those costs. Joint operating agreements govern the operations of an oil or natural gas well and, in most instances, provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and its joint interest owners. The Company’s joint interest partners consist primarily of independent oil and natural gas producers. If the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry in general was adversely affected, the ability of the Company’s joint interest partners to reimburse the Company could be adversely affected. The Company’s exposure to credit risk under its derivative contracts is diversified among major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, where it has master netting agreements which provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and the counterparty. To manage counterparty risk associated with derivative contracts, the Company selects and monitors counterparties based on an assessment of their financial strength and/or credit ratings. At September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company’s derivative counterparties include two major financial institutions, both of which are secured lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement. Change in Estimate In late March 2020 (Successor), due to changes in market conditions and decreased commodity prices, the Company determined discretionary cash incentives related to 2019 would not be paid, causing a $1.6 million reduction to “General and administrative” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (ASU 2020-04), in response to the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This amendment provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging arrangements, and other transactions that reference LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 will be in effect through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and the impact it may have on its operating results, financial position and disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12) as part of their simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2019-12, but does not believe that it will have a material impact on its operating results, financial position or disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13), which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace the previously required incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date. Based the Company’s assessment of its applicable financial assets, which are receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers with various potential remedies ensuring collection from those parties, as well as assets from derivative contracts outstanding with major financial institutions, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

REORGANIZATION
REORGANIZATION	2. REORGANIZATION On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the Restructuring Support Agreement) with certain holders of the Company’s 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the Unsecured Senior Noteholders). On August 7, 2019, the Company filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Court to effect an accelerated prepackaged bankruptcy restructuring as contemplated in the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Company continued to operate its businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan and on October 8, 2019, the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Unsecured Senior Noteholders and other claim and interest holders received the following treatment in full and final satisfaction of their claims and interests: · borrowings outstanding under the Predecessor Credit Agreement, plus unpaid interest and fees, were repaid in full, in cash, including by a refinancing (refer to Note 8, “Debt ” for further details regarding the credit agreement); · the Unsecured Senior Noteholders received their pro rata share of 91% of the common stock of reorganized Battalion (New Common Shares), subject to dilution, issued pursuant to the Plan and participated in the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering (defined below); · the Company’s general unsecured claims were unimpaired and paid in full in the ordinary course; and · all of the Predecessor Company’s outstanding shares of common stock were cancelled and the existing common stockholders received their pro rata share of 9% of the New Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan, subject to dilution, together with Warrants (defined below) to purchase common stock of reorganized Battalion and participated in the Existing Equity Interests Rights Offering (defined below and, collectively, the Existing Equity Total Consideration); provided, however, that registered holders of existing common stock with 2,000 shares or fewer of common stock received cash in an amount equal to the inherent value of such holder’s pro rata share of the Existing Equity Total Consideration (the Existing Equity Cash Out). Each of the foregoing percentages of equity in the reorganized Company were as of October 8, 2019 and are subject to dilution by New Common Shares issued in connection with (i) a management incentive plan, (ii) the Warrants (defined below), (iii) the Equity Rights Offerings (defined below), and (iv) the Backstop Commitment Premium (defined below). As a component of the Restructuring Support Agreement (i) certain Unsecured Senior Noteholders purchased their pro rata share of New Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $150.2 million (the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering) and (ii) certain existing common stockholders purchased their pro rata share of New Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.8 million (the Existing Equity Interests Rights Offering, and together with the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering, the Equity Rights Offerings), in each case, at a price per share equal to a 26% discount to the value of the New Common Shares based on an assumed total enterprise value of $425.0 million. Certain of the Unsecured Senior Noteholders backstopped the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering and received as consideration (the Backstop Commitment Premium) New Common Shares equal to 6% of the aggregate amount of the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering, subject to dilution by New Common Shares issued in connection with a management incentive plan and the Warrants. If the backstop agreement had been terminated, the Company would have been obligated to make a cash payment equal to 6% of the aggregate amount of the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering. The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offerings were used by the Company to (i) provide additional liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) pay reasonable and documented restructuring expenses, and (iii) fund Plan distributions. Under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the existing common stockholders (subject to the Existing Equity Cash Out) were issued a series of warrants exercisable for cash for a three year period subsequent to the effective date of the Plan (Warrants). The Warrants were issued with strike prices based upon stipulated rate-of-return levels achieved by the Unsecured Senior Noteholders. The Warrants cumulatively represented 30% of the New Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan. Registration Rights Agreement On the Effective Date, the Company and the other signatories thereto (the Demand Stockholders), entered into a registration rights agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Company agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement concerning the resale of the registrable shares of New Common Shares of the Company held by Demand Stockholders (the Registrable Securities), as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the later to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date and (ii) a date specified by a written notice to the Company by Demand Stockholders holding at least a majority of the Registerable Securities, and thereafter to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, from time to time, the Demand Stockholders may request that additional Registrable Securities be registered for resale by the Company. Subject to certain limitations, the Demand Stockholders also have the right to request that the Company facilitate the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to firm commitment underwritten public offerings. The Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to suspensions of the Company’s registration obligations and indemnification.

FRESH-START ACCOUNTING

FRESH-START ACCOUNTING	9 Months Ended

FRESH-START ACCOUNTING
FRESH-START ACCOUNTING	3. FRESH-START ACCOUNTING Upon the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with the provisions set forth in ASC 852 as (i) the Reorganization Value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to the date of confirmation was less than the total of the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and (ii) the holders of the existing voting shares of the Predecessor entity received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity. Refer to Note 2 , “Reorganization,” for the terms of the Plan. Fresh-start accounting requires the Company to present its assets, liabilities, and equity as if it were a new entity upon emergence from bankruptcy. The new entity is referred to as “Successor” or “Successor Company.” However, the Company will continue to present financial information for any periods before adoption of fresh-start accounting for the Predecessor Company. The Predecessor and Successor Companies lack comparability, as required in ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (ASC 205). ASC 205 states financial statements are required to be presented comparably from year to year, with any exceptions to comparability clearly disclosed. Therefore, “black-line” financial statements are presented to distinguish between the Predecessor and Successor Companies. Adopting fresh-start accounting results in a new financial reporting entity with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh-start reporting date. Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company allocated the Reorganization Value (the fair value of the Successor Company’s total assets) to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values. The Reorganization Value is intended to represent the approximate amount a willing buyer would pay for the Company’s assets immediately after the reorganization. Reorganization Value is derived from an estimate of Enterprise Value, or the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, stockholders’ equity and working capital. The estimated Enterprise Value of $441.6 million at the Effective Date was in the Bankruptcy Court approved range of $425.0 million and $475.0 million. The Enterprise Value was derived from an independent valuation using an asset based methodology of estimated proved reserves, undeveloped acreage, and other financial information, considerations and projections, applying a combination of the income, cost and market approaches as of the fresh-start reporting date of October 1, 2019. The Company elected to adopt fresh-start accounting effective October 1, 2019, to coincide with the timing of its normal fourth quarter reporting period, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. The Company evaluated and concluded that events between October 1, 2019 and October 8, 2019 were immaterial and use of an accounting convenience date of October 1, 2019 was appropriate. The Company’s principal assets are its oil and natural gas properties. 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 million British thermal units (MMBtu) of natural gas and $29.50 per barrel of oil equivalent 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. See further discussion below in the “Fresh-start accounting adjustments” for the specific assumptions used in the valuation of the Company’s various other assets. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates used to develop Enterprise Value and Reorganization Value were reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates would materially impact the analysis and resulting conclusions. The assumptions used in estimating these values are inherently uncertain and require judgment. The following table reconciles the Company’s Enterprise Value to the estimated fair value of the Successor’s common stock as of October 1, 2019 (in thousands): October 1, 2019 Enterprise Value $ 441,583 Plus: Cash 15,546 Less: Fair value of debt (130,000) Less: Fair value of warrants (7,336) Fair value of Successor common stock $ 319,793 The following table reconciles the Company’s Enterprise Value to its Reorganization Value as of October 1, 2019 (in thousands): October 1, 2019 Enterprise Value $ 441,583 Plus: Cash 15,546 Plus: Current liabilities 122,134 Plus: Lease liabilities 3,395 Plus: Noncurrent asset retirement obligation 10,153 Plus: Other noncurrent liabilities 1,625 Reorganization Value of Successor assets $ 594,436 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet The following illustrates the effects on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the reorganization and fresh-start accounting adjustments. The explanatory notes following the table below provide further details on the adjustments, including the Company’s assumptions and methods used to determine fair value for its assets, liabilities, and warrants.

account for professional fees associated with the chapter 11 bankruptcy and an account to cash collateralize the Predecessor Company’s outstanding letters of credit. 3) Represents $10.2 million in debt issuance costs related to the Senior Credit Agreement, partially offset by the release of $3.1 million in fees paid to the Company’s restructuring advisors prior to the emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy. 4) Represents $7.7 million in fees to be paid to the Company’s restructuring advisors subsequent to the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, partially offset by payments of i) accrued interest and fees on the Predecessor Credit Agreement and the debtor-in-possession junior secured term credit facility of $3.5 million and ii) professional fees associated with the chapter 11 bankruptcy of $1.5 million. 5) On the Emergence Date, in accordance with the Plan, the Company repaid the principal outstanding on the Predecessor Credit Agreement of $223.2 million and the debtor-in-possession junior secured term credit facility of $35.0 million using proceeds from the Equity Rights Offerings and borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement. 6) Reflects the initial borrowing on the Senior Credit Agreement. 7) Liabilities subject to compromise were as follows (in thousands): 6.75% senior notes due 2025 $ 625,005 Liabilities subject to compromise 625,005 Discount on shares issued per the Senior Noteholder Subscription Rights Offering (67,840) Issuance of common stock to Class 4 claimholders (75,388) Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ 481,777 8) Reflects the cancellation of Predecessor common stock and additional paid-in capital. 9) The following table reconciles reorganization adjustments made to Successor common stock and additional paid-in capital (in thousands): Par value of 16,203,940 shares of new common stock issued to holders of senior note claims and existing equity interest claims (valued at $19.74 per share) $ 2 Fair value of warrants issued to holder of the Existing Equity Interests (1) 7,336 Additional paid-in-capital (Successor) 322,294 Equity issuance costs associated with Equity Rights Offering (2,503) Total change in Successor common stock and additional paid-in capital $ 327,129 (1) The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Binomial Lattice model with the following assumptions: implied stock price of the Successor Company of $19.74; initial strike price per share of $40.17, $48.28, and $60.45, for Series A, B, and C warrants, respectively, increased each month at an annualized rate of 6.75%; expected volatility of 45%; and risk free interest rate using the USD Yield Curve at each time-step in the lattice. 10) The table below reflects the cumulative effect of the adjustments discussed above (in thousands): Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ 481,777 Success fees incurred upon emergence (8,376) Fair value of equity issued to Predecessor common stockholders (7,449) Fair value of warrants issued to Predecessor common stockholders (7,336) Issuance of common stock to backstop commitment parties (13,079) Other (2,668) Cancellation of Predecessor equity 1,087,457 Net impact to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) $ 1,530,326 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. Reorganization Items Reor ganization items represent (i) expenses or income incurred subsequent to the Petition Date as a direct result of the Plan, (ii) gains or losses from liabilities settled, and (iii) fresh‑start accounting adjustments and are recorded in “ Reorganization items, net ” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the net reorganization items (in thousands): Predecessor Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Accrued interest $ 20,274 Write-off debt discount/premium and debt issuance costs (10,953) Reorganization professional fees and other (11,079) Gain (loss) on reorganization items $ (1,758)

LEASES
LEASES	4. LEASES The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to the customer the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset, and (2) the customer has the right to control the use of the identified asset. The Company leases equipment and office space pursuant to net operating leases. Operating leases where the Company is the lessee are included in “Operating lease right of use assets” and “Operating lease liabilities” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liabilities are initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments include how the Company determined (1) the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease payments. ASC 842, Leases (ASC 842) requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest the Company would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Additionally, the Company applies a portfolio approach to determine the discount rate (the incremental borrowing rate for leases with similar characteristics). The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a lessee option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease asset or liability comprise the following, when applicable: fixed payments (including in‑substance fixed payments), variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For the Company’s operating leases, the right of use asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Variable lease payments, when applicable, are presented as “Gathering and other,” “ Restructuring ” or “General and administrative” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as the expense arising from the fixed lease payments on the operating leases. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and nonlease components and the Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components, when fixed, for all lease contracts. Nonlease components include common area maintenance charges on office leases and, when applicable, services associated with equipment leases. The Company determines whether the lease or nonlease component is the predominant component on a case‑by‑case basis. The Company reviews its right of use assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360. ASC 360 requires the Company to evaluate right of use assets for impairment as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then the Company would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. The Company monitors for events or changes in circumstances that would require a reassessment of a lease. When a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, an adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding right of use asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the right of use asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative right of use asset balance is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for all short‑term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short‑term leases as an expense on a straight‑line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with these leases are recognized and presented in the same manner as for all other leases. The Company leases equipment and office space under operating leases. The Company has no leases that meet the criteria for classification as a finance lease. The operating leases outstanding as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor) have initial lease terms ranging from 2 to 5 years. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, in some instances, variable payments. The table below summarizes the Company’s leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor) and 2019 (Predecessor) (in thousands, except years and discount rate): Successor Predecessor Nine Months Nine Months Ended Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Lease cost Operating lease costs $ 1,869 $ 1,932 Short-term lease costs 16,372 12,262 Variable lease costs 798 1,210 Total lease costs $ 19,039 $ 15,404 Other information Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2,093 $ 1,936 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities — 5,462 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 0.7 years 3.7 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 3.70 % 4.83 % Refer to Note 3, “ Fresh-start Accounting,” for a discussion of the valuation approach used to record the right of use asset at fair value as of October 1, 2019. As described in Note 1, “ Financial Statement Presentation ,” the Company exercised a one-time early termination option under the lease agreement for the Company’s office space in Denver, Colorado in May 2020 (Successor) and paid a $1.3 million termination fee. The early termination option was deemed probable in May 2020 (Successor) and was recognized in the Company’s operating lease right of use asset and operating lease liability during the three months ended June 30, 2020 (Successor). This reduced the Company’s operating lease liability to $0.5 million, representing the remaining lease cost to be incurred from June 2020 through March 2021. The Company’s abandonment of its office lease in Denver resulted in a $0.5 million impairment to its operating lease right of use asset presented as “ Restructuring ” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor). Future minimum lease payments associated with the Company’s non-cancellable operating leases for office space and equipment as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor), are presented in the table below (in thousands): Operating Leases Successor September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Remaining period in 2020 $ 211 $ 1,022 2021 453 876 2022 — 574 2023 — 585 2024 — 345 Thereafter — — Total operating lease payments 664 3,402 Less: discount to present value 7 232 Total operating lease liabilities 657 3,170 Less: current operating lease liabilities 657 923 Noncurrent operating lease liabilities $ — $ 2,247

OPERATING REVENUES
OPERATING REVENUES	5. OPERATING REVENUES Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue. Revenues from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are recognized, at a point in time, when a performance obligation is satisfied by the transfer of control of the commodity to the customer. Because the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied and an unconditional right to consideration exists as of the balance sheet date, the Company recognized amounts due from contracts with customers of $20.4 million and $36.4 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor), respectively, as “Accounts receivable” and “Other assets” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from its single basin operations, the Delaware Basin in Pecos, Reeves, Ward and Winkler Counties, Texas. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by major product, in order to depict how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors in the Company’s single basin operations, for the periods indicated (in thousands): Successor Predecessor Successor Predecessor Three Months Three Months Nine Months Nine Months Ended Ended Ended Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Operating revenues: Oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales: Oil $ 33,638 $ 46,275 $ 91,313 $ 145,024 Natural gas 1,912 301 3,102 107 Natural gas liquids 3,896 3,987 10,086 13,229 Total oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids sales 39,446 50,563 104,501 158,360 Other 384 246 1,222 743 Total operating revenues $ 39,830 $ 50,809 $ 105,723 $ 159,103 Oil Sales The Company generally markets its crude oil production directly to the customer using two methods. Under the first method, crude oil is sold at the wellhead at an index price, averaged over the daily settlement prices for a production month, and adjusted for pricing differentials and other deductions. Revenue is recognized at the wellhead, where control of the crude oil transfers to the customer, at the net price received. Under the second method, crude oil is delivered to the customer at a contractual delivery point at which the customer takes custody, title and risk of loss of the product. The Company receives a specified index price from the customer, averaged over the daily settlement prices for a production month, and net of applicable market-related adjustments. Revenue is recognized when control of the crude oil transfers at the delivery point at the net price received. Settlement statements for the Company’s crude oil production are typically received within the month following the date of production and therefore the amount of production delivered to the customer and the price that will be received for that production are known at the time the revenue is recorded. Payment under the Company’s crude oil contracts is typically due on or before the 20 th of the month following the delivery month. Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Sales The Company evaluates its natural gas gathering and processing arrangements in place with midstream companies to determine when control of the natural gas is transferred. Under contracts where it is determined that control of the natural gas transfers at the wellhead, any fees incurred to gather or process the unprocessed natural gas are treated as a reduction of the sales price of unprocessed natural gas, and therefore revenues from such transactions are presented on a net basis. Under contracts where it is determined that control of the natural gas transfers at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant, revenues are presented on a gross basis for amounts expected to be received from the midstream company or third party purchasers through the gathering and treating process and presented as "Natural gas" or "Natural gas liquids" and any fees incurred to gather or process the natural gas are presented separately as “ Gathering and other " on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under certain contracts, the Company may elect to take its residue gas and/or natural gas liquids in-kind at the tailgate of the midstream entity’s processing plant. The Company then sells the products to a customer at contractual delivery points at prices based on an index. In these instances, revenues are presented on a gross basis and any fees incurred to gather, process or transport the commodities are presented separately as “ Gathering and other " on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Settlement statements for the Company’s natural gas and natural gas liquids production are typically received 30 days after the date of production and therefore the Company estimates the amount of production delivered to the customer and the price that will be received for that production. The majority of the Company’s natural gas and natural gas liquids prices are based on daily average pricing for the month. Historically, differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual revenue received have not been material. Payment under the Company’s natural gas gathering and processing contracts is typically due on or before the fifth day of the second month following the delivery month.

DIVESTITURES	6. DIVESTITURES Water Infrastructure Assets On December 20, 2018 (Predecessor), the Company sold its water infrastructure assets located in the Delaware Basin (the Water Assets) to WaterBridge Resources LLC (the Purchaser) for a total adjusted purchase price of $210.9 million in cash (the Water Infrastructure Divestiture). The effective date of the transaction was October 1, 2018 (Predecessor). Upon closing, the Company dedicated all of the produced water from its oil and natural gas wells within its Monument Draw, Hackberry Draw and West Quito Draw operating areas to the Purchaser. There were no drilling or throughput commitments associated with the Water Infrastructure Divestiture. The Purchaser will receive a market price, subject to annual adjustments for inflation, in exchange for the transportation, disposal and treatment of such produced water, and the Purchaser will receive a market price for the supply of freshwater and recycled produced water to the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), as a result of customary post-closing adjustments, the Company recorded a reduction of approximately $3.6 million on the gain on sale of the Water Assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations in “(Gain) loss on sale of Water Assets.”

OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES

OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES	7. OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its investment in oil and natural gas properties. Under this method of accounting, all costs of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves (including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, geological expenditures, treating equipment and gathering support facilities costs, dry hole costs, tangible and intangible development costs and direct internal costs) are capitalized as the cost of oil and natural gas properties when incurred. To the extent capitalized costs of evaluated oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion, exceed the discounted future net revenues of proved oil and natural gas reserves, net of deferred taxes, such excess capitalized costs are charged to expense. With the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company recorded its oil and natural gas properties at fair value as of the Emergence Date. The Company’s evaluated and unevaluated properties were assigned fair values of $380.4 million and $109.0 million, respectively. 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. The Company’s treating equipment and gathering support facilities were included in “ Oil and natural gas properties, evaluated ” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the Emergence Date. Refer to Note 3, “ Fresh-start Accounting ,” for a discussion of the valuation approaches used. Additionally, the Company assesses all properties classified as unevaluated property on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. The Company assesses properties on an individual basis or as a group, if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to depletion and the full cost ceiling test limitation. At September 30, 2020 (Successor), the ceiling test value of the Company’s reserves was calculated based on the first‑day‑of‑the‑month average for the 12‑months ended September 30, 2020 of the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil spot price of $43.63 per barrel, adjusted by lease or field for quality, transportation fees, and regional price differentials, and the first‑day‑of‑the‑month average for the 12‑months ended September 30, 2020 of the Henry Hub natural gas price of $1.97 MMBtu, adjusted by lease or field for energy content, transportation fees, and regional price differentials. Using these prices, the Company’s net book value of oil and natural gas properties at September 30, 2020 (Successor) exceeded the ceiling amount by $128.3 million which resulted in a ceiling test impairment charge of that amount for the quarter. The ceiling test impairment was primarily driven by a decrease in the first-day-of-the-month average price for crude oil used in the ceiling test calculation, from $47.37 per barrel at June 30, 2020 (Successor) to $43.63 per barrel at September 30, 2020 (Successor). The ceiling test impairment also reflects the transfer of $23.6 million of unevaluated property costs to the full cost pool due to the Company’s intent to focus available capital on Monument Draw. At June 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company recorded a full cost ceiling impairment of $60.1 million. The ceiling test impairment was primarily driven by a decrease in the first-day-of-the-month average price for crude oil used in the ceiling test calculation, from $55.96 per barrel at March 31, 2020 (Successor) to $47.37 per barrel at June 30, 2020 (Successor). This average price decline was partially offset by favorable differentials and lower operating expenses. At September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the ceiling test value of the Company’s reserves was calculated based on the first‑day‑of‑the‑month average for the 12‑months ended September 30, 2019 of the WTI crude oil spot price of $57.69 per barrel, adjusted by lease or field for quality, transportation fees, and regional price differentials, and the first‑day‑of‑the‑month average for the 12‑months ended September 30, 2019 of the Henry Hub natural gas price of $2.87 per MMBtu, adjusted by lease or field for energy content, transportation fees, and regional price differentials. Using these prices, the Company’s net book value of oil and natural gas properties at September 30, 2019 (Predecessor) exceeded the ceiling amount by $45.6 million which resulted in a ceiling test impairment charge of that amount for the quarter. The ceiling test impairment at September 30, 2019 (Predecessor) was driven by decreases in the first‑day‑of‑the‑month 12‑month average prices for crude oil used in the ceiling test calculation since June 30, 2019 (Predecessor), when the first‑day‑of‑month 12‑month average price for crude oil was $61.45 per barrel. At June 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the Company recorded a full cost ceiling impairment of $664.4 million. The ceiling test impairment at June 30, 2019 (Predecessor) was primarily driven by the Company’s continued focus on Monument Draw. Accordingly, the Company transferred approximately $481.7 million of unevaluated property costs to the full cost pool as of June 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the majority of which is associated with the Company’s Hackberry Draw area. At March 31, 2019 (Predecessor), the Company recorded a full cost ceiling impairment of $275.2 million. The ceiling test impairment was driven by a decrease in the first‑day‑of‑the‑month average price for crude oil used in the ceiling test calculation and the Company’s intent to expend capital only on its most economic areas. As such, the Company identified certain leases in the Hackberry Draw area with near‑term expirations and transferred approximately $51.0 million of associated unevaluated property costs to the full cost pool during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (Predecessor). The impairments were recorded in “Full cost ceiling test impairment” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in commodity prices, production rates, levels of reserves, future development costs, transfers of unevaluated properties to the full cost pool, capital spending, and other factors will determine the Company’s ceiling test calculation and impairment analyses in future periods.

DEBT

	Sep. 30, 2020
DEBT
DEBT	8. DEBT As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor), the Company’s debt consisted of the following (in thousands): Successor September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Senior revolving credit facility $ 178,000 $ 144,000 Paycheck Protection Program loan (1) 2,209 - $ 180,209 $ 144,000 (1) As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), $1.4 million of the Company’s Paycheck Protection Program loan was classified as “Current portion of long-term debt” on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Senior Revolving Credit Facility On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement, as amended, (the Senior Credit Agreement) with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and certain other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, which refinanced the Predecessor Company’s Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Predecessor Credit Agreement). The Senior Credit Agreement provides for a $750.0 million senior secured reserve‑based revolving credit facility with a current borrowing base of $190.0 million. At September 30, 2020 (Successor), under the then-effective borrowing base of $195.0 million, the Company had $178.0 million indebtedness outstanding and approximately $4.7 million letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Agreement, resulting in $12.3 million of borrowing capacity. A portion of the Senior Credit Agreement, in the amount of $25.0 million, is available for the issuance of letters of credit. The maturity date of the Senior Credit Agreement is October 8, 2024. Redeterminations will occur semi-annually on May 1 and November 1, with the lenders and the Company each having the right to one interim unscheduled redetermination between any two consecutive semi-annual redeterminations. The borrowing base takes into account the estimated value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, proved reserves, total indebtedness, and other relevant factors consistent with customary oil and natural gas lending criteria. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Agreement bear interest at specified margins over the base rate of 1.50% to 2.50% for ABR-based loans or at specified margins over LIBOR of 2.50% to 3.50% for Eurodollar-based loans, which margins may be increased one-time by not more than 50 basis points per annum if necessary in order to successfully syndicate the Senior Credit Agreement. These margins fluctuate based on the Company’s utilization of the facility. The Company may elect, at its option, to prepay any borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Agreement without premium or penalty, except with respect to any break funding payments which may be payable pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement. The Company may be required to make mandatory prepayments of the outstanding borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement in connection with certain borrowing base deficiencies, including deficiencies which may arise in connection with a borrowing base redetermination, an asset disposition or swap terminations attributable in the aggregate to more than ten percent (10%) of the then-effective borrowing base. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Agreement contains certain events of default, including non-payment; breaches of representation and warranties; non-compliance with covenants; cross-defaults to material indebtedness; voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy; judgments and change in control. The Senior Credit Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including maintenance of (i) a Total Net Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00 and (ii) a Current Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), after giving effect to the Third Amendment, discussed below, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Senior Credit Agreement. On October 29, 2020 (Successor), the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver (the Third Amendment). The Third Amendment, among other things, sets the borrowing base to $190 million as of November 1, 2020, which eliminated the final monthly reduction of $5.0 million required under the Second Amendment (defined below). The Third Amendment also reduces the amount available for issuance of letters of credit to $25.0 million and amends certain covenants including, but not limited to, covenants relating to increasing the minimum mortgaged total value of proved borrowing base properties from 85% to 90%. Additionally, the Third Amendment provides for new covenants that, among other things, require the Company to enter into required swap agreements representing not less than 65% of the Company’s reasonably anticipated projected production from the proved reserves classified as developed producing reserves for a period from the Third Amendment effective date through at least December 31, 2022 and prohibit no more than $3 million of the Company’s uncontested accounts payable or accrued expenses, liabilities or other obligations from remaining outstanding for longer than 90 days. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the administrative agent and the lenders consented to a waiver of the Current Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020 and suspended testing of the Current Ratio until the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021. On July 31, 2020 (Successor), the Company entered into the Limited Waiver to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Waiver) in which the lenders consented to waive maintenance of a Current Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.00 to 1.00 as of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020. On April 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement (Second Amendment) which among other things, (i) reduced the borrowing base to $200.0 million effective from April 30, 2020, which was then reduced by $5.0 million monthly starting September 1, 2020 until November 1, 2020, so that the borrowing base was scheduled to be $185.0 million on November 1, 2020, provided the borrowing base redetermination scheduled for November 1, 2020 occurred pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement, (ii) increased interest margins to 1.50% to 2.50% for ABR-based loans and 2.50% to 3.50% for Eurodollar-based loans, (iii) provided that should the Company’s Consolidated Cash Balance (as defined pursuant to the Second Amendment) exceed $10.0 million, such amounts shall be used to prepay any borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement and thereafter, to the extent of any uncollateralized letters of credit exposure, shall be cash collateralized in accordance with the Senior Credit Agreement and (iv) allowed for a replacement benchmark rate to the London Interbank Offered Rate (which may include SOFR, Compounded SOFR or Term SOFR). The Second Amendment also added provisions related to a loan incurred by the Company under the Paycheck Protection Program of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act). The Company used, and the Second Amendment required the Company to use, the loan proceeds for CARES Forgivable Uses under the CARES Act. Additionally, the Second Amendment waived, for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020, that the Company comply with the requirement under the Senior Credit Agreement that the Company unwind certain swap agreements for which settlement payments were calculated in such fiscal quarter to exceed 100% of actual production. On November 21, 2019 (Successor), the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Senior Credit Agreement which, among other things, (i) reduced the borrowing base to $240.0 million and (ii) limited the Total Net Indebtedness Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2020, of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00. Paycheck Protection Program Loan On April 16, 2020 (Successor), the Company entered into a promissory note (the PPP Loan) for a principal amount of approximately $2.2 million from Bank of Montreal under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act, which is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of the PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs. The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. The Company is required to pay principal and interest installments of $0.1 million monthly beginning November 16, 2020. The maturity date of the PPP Loan is April 16, 2022. The Company may elect, at its option, to prepay 20% or less of the borrowings outstanding under the PPP Loan without premium or penalty, and without notice. Prepayments of more than 20% of the outstanding borrowings require written advanced notice and payment of accrued interest. The PPP Loan contains certain events of default including non-payment, breach of representations and warranties, cross-defaults to other loans with the lender or to material indebtedness, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, judgments and change in control. Under the terms of the CARES Act, the Company can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act during the eight week period after loan origination and the maintenance or achievement of certain employee levels. The Company believes it is eligible for, and is currently pursuing, forgiveness of the PPP Loan in accordance with the requirements and limitations under the CARES Act; however, no assurance can be provided that forgiveness of any portion of the PPP Loan will be obtained.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), the Company’s determination of fair value incorporates not only the credit standing of the counterparties involved in transactions with the Company resulting in receivables on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, but also the impact of the Company’s nonperformance risk on its own liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy assigns the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Level 2 measurements are inputs that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. As required by ASC 820, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for any period presented. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor) (in thousands): Successor September 30, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Assets from derivative contracts $ — 28,671 $ — 28,671 Liabilities Liabilities from derivative contracts $ — 12,347 $ — 12,347 Successor December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Assets from derivative contracts $ — $ 5,219 $ — $ 5,219 Liabilities Liabilities from derivative contracts $ — $ 12,923 $ — $ 12,923 Derivative contracts listed above as Level 2 include fixed-price swaps, collars, puts, calls, basis swaps and WTI NYMEX rolls that are carried at fair value. The Company records the net change in the fair value of these positions in “Net gain (loss) on derivative contracts” in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company is able to value the assets and liabilities based on observable market data for similar instruments, which resulted in the Company reporting its derivatives as Level 2. This observable data includes the forward curves for commodity prices based on quoted market prices and implied volatility factors related to changes in the forward curves. See Note 10, “Derivative and Hedging Activities,” for additional discussion of derivatives. The Company’s derivative contracts are with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings which are believed to have minimal credit risk. As such, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties in the derivative contracts; however, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance. The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments . The estimated fair value amounts have been determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, noncurrent accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying value due to their short‑term nature. The estimated fair value of the Company’s Senior Credit Agreement approximates carrying value because the interest rates approximate current market rates. On the Effective Date, the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy and adopted fresh-start accounting, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets, liabilities and warrants were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh-start reporting date, October 1, 2019. See Note 3, “Fresh-start Accounting,” for a detailed discussion of the fair value approaches used by the Company. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, for nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. These provisions apply to the Company’s initial recognition of asset retirement obligations for which fair value is used. The asset retirement obligation estimates are derived from historical costs and management’s expectation of future cost environments; and therefore, the Company has designated these liabilities as Level 3. See Note 11, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” for a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the liability for the Company’s asset retirement obligations.

DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	10. DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, such as commodity price risk and interest rate risk. In accordance with the Company’s policy, it generally hedges a substantial, but varying, portion of anticipated oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production for future periods. Derivatives are carried at fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities, with the changes in the fair value included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the period in which the change occurs. The Company’s hedge policies and objectives may change significantly as its operational profile changes. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial or commodity hedging institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company did not post collateral under any of its derivative contracts as they are secured under the Company’s Senior Credit Agreement. The Company’s crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids derivative positions at any point in time may consist of fixed-price swaps, costless put/call collars, basis swaps and WTI NYMEX rolls. Fixed-price swaps are designed so that the Company receives or makes payments based on a differential between fixed and variable prices for crude oil and natural gas. A costless collar consists of a sold call, which establishes a maximum price the Company will receive for the volumes under contract and a purchased put that establishes a minimum price. Basis swaps effectively lock in a price differential between regional prices (i.e. Midland) where the product is sold and the relevant pricing index under which the oil production is hedged (i.e. Cushing). WTI NYMEX roll agreements account for pricing adjustments to the trade month versus the delivery month for contract pricing. The Company has elected not to designate any of its derivative contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, the Company records the net change in the mark-to-market valuation of these derivative contracts, as well as all payments and receipts on settled derivative contracts, in “Net gain (loss) on derivative contracts” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. All derivative contracts are recorded at fair market value in accordance with ASC 815 and ASC 820 and included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities. The following table summarizes the location and fair value amounts of all derivative contracts in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Successor) (in thousands): Successor Successor Derivatives not designated as Asset derivative contracts Liability derivative contracts hedging contracts under ASC 815 Balance sheet location September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Balance sheet location September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Commodity contracts Current assets - assets from derivative contracts $ 18,996 $ 4,995 Current liabilities - liabilities from derivative contracts $ (9,055) $ (8,069) Commodity contracts Other noncurrent assets - assets from derivative contracts 9,675 224 Other noncurrent liabilities - liabilities from derivative contracts (3,292) (4,854) Total derivatives not designated as hedging contracts under ASC 815 $ 28,671 $ 5,219 $ (12,347) $ (12,923) The following table summarizes the location and amounts of the Company’s realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in income on Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in income on Successor Predecessor Successor Predecessor Derivatives not designated Location of gain or Three Months Three Months Nine Months Nine Months as hedging contracts (loss) recognized in income Ended Ended Ended Ended under ASC 815 on derivative contracts September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Commodity contracts: Unrealized gain (loss) on commodity contracts Other income (expenses) - net gain (loss) on derivative contracts $ (21,128) $ 11,571 $ 24,029 $ (45,834) Realized gain (loss) on commodity contracts Other income (expenses) - net gain (loss) on derivative contracts 5,285 1,886 43,666 11,502 Total net gain (loss) on derivative contracts $ (15,843) $ 13,457 $ 67,695 $ (34,332) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company terminated certain derivative contracts in advance of their natural expiration dates and received net proceeds of approximately $6.6 million and $22.9 million, respectively, which were recorded in “ Net gain (loss) on derivative contracts” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The ISDA is a standard contract that governs all derivative contracts entered into between the Company and the respective counterparty. The ISDA allows for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and the counterparty, at the election of both parties, for transactions that occur on the same date and in the same currency.

As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), a maximum of 0.2 million shares of the Successor Company’s common stock remained reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan. The Company accounts for stock-based payment accruals under authoritative guidance on stock compensation. The guidance requires all stock-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of stock options and restricted stock, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company has elected not to apply a forfeiture estimate and will recognize a credit in compensation expense to the extent awards are forfeited. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company recognized expense of $0.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the Company recognized a credit of $2.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation.

Stock options, when exercised, are settled through the payment of the exercise price in exchange for new shares of stock underlying the option. Awards granted under the 2020 Plan typically vest over a four year period at a rate of one-fourth on the annual anniversary date of the grant and expire seven years from the date of grant.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Battalion Oil Corporation (Battalion or the Company) was formerly named Halcón Resources Corporation (Halcón). On January 21, 2020, Battalion filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Halcón Resources Corporation to Battalion Oil Corporation. Battalion is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, production, exploration and development of onshore liquids‑rich oil and natural gas assets in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority‑owned, controlled subsidiaries. The Company operates in one segment which focuses on oil and natural gas acquisition, production, exploration and development. Allocation of capital is made across the Company’s entire portfolio without regard to operating area. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of, and the results of operations for, the periods presented. During interim periods, Battalion follows the accounting policies disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10‑K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 25, 2020. Please refer to the notes in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K when reviewing interim financial results.
Risk and Uncertainties	Risk and Uncertainties The Company is continuously monitoring the current and potential impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on its business, including how it has and may continue to impact its operations, financial results, liquidity, contractors, customers, employees and vendors, and taking appropriate actions in response, including reducing capital expenditures, temporarily shutting-in producing wells, and implementing various measures to ensure the continued operation of its business in a safe and secure manner. COVID-19 and governmental actions to contain the pandemic have contributed to an economic downturn, reduced demand for oil and natural gas and, together with a price war between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)/Saudi Arabia and Russia, depressed oil and natural gas prices to historically low levels. Although OPEC and Russia agreed in April to reduce production, downward pressure on prices has continued and could continue for the foreseeable future, particularly given concerns over the impacts of the current economic downturn on demand. The Company is unable to predict the effect that these events will have on its business and financial condition due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that governmental or other actions taken to limit the extent and duration of the outbreak, in conjunction with economic conditions, will have on its business, demand for oil and natural gas, and oil and natural gas prices. The health of the Company’s employees, contractors and vendors, and its ability to meet staffing needs in its operations and critical functions cannot be predicted, nor can the impact on the Company’s customers, vendors and contractors. Any material effect on these parties could adversely impact the Company. These and other factors could affect the Company’s operations, earnings and cash flows and could cause its results to not be comparable to those of the same period in previous years. For example, the Company realized lower revenue as a result of commodity price declines, which began in March 2020. In response to low commodity prices, the Company temporarily shut-in producing wells in May and June 2020, which further contributed to lower revenues in the current year. Additionally, as discussed further in Note 7, “Oil and Natural Gas Properties,” the Company incurred ceiling test impairments, which were primarily driven by a decline in the average pricing used in the valuation of the Company’s reserves. The results presented in this Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. For further information regarding the actual and potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11	Emergence From Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 On August 7, 2019 (the Petition Date), the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court) to pursue a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the Plan). The Company’s chapter 11 proceedings were administered under the caption In re Halcón Resources Corporation, et al. (Case No. 19-34446). On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan and on October 8, 2019, the Plan became effective (the Effective Date) and the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy. See Note 2, “ Reorganization, ” for further details on the Company’s chapter 11 bankruptcy and the Plan. Upon emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852, Reorganizations (ASC 852) which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes on the Effective Date. The Company elected to apply fresh-start accounting effective October 1, 2019, to coincide with the timing of its normal fourth quarter reporting period, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. The Company evaluated and concluded that events between October 1, 2019 and October 8, 2019 were immaterial and use of an accounting convenience date of October 1, 2019 was appropriate. Upon the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair values as of the fresh-start reporting date. As a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to October 1, 2019 are not comparable to its consolidated financial statements prior to, and including, October 1, 2019. See Note 3, “Fresh-start Accounting,” for further details on the impact of fresh-start accounting on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Company subsequent to October 1, 2019. References to “Predecessor” or “Predecessor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, October 1, 2019.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions that, in the opinion of management of the Company, are significant include oil and natural gas revenue accruals, capital and operating expense accruals, oil and natural gas reserves, depletion relating to oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations, fair value estimates, including estimates of Reorganization Value, Enterprise Value and the fair value of assets, liabilities and warrants recorded as a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for the full year and accordingly, certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, has been condensed or omitted. The Company has evaluated events or transactions through the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included in “ Cash and cash equivalents ” and “ Restricted cash ” reconcile to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as follows: Successor September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,827 $ 5,701 Restricted cash — 4,574 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 1,827 $ 10,275 Restricted cash consisted of funds related to payments prescribed under the Plan that were held in an interest-bearing escrow account.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount due, less an allowance for doubtful accounts, when applicable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on accounts receivable if it determines that collection of all or part of the outstanding balance is doubtful. The Company regularly reviews collectability and establishes or adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts as necessary using the specific identification method. As of September 30, 2020 (Successor) and December 31, 2019 (Successor), allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Other Operating Property and Equipment	Other Operating Property and Equipment Other operating property and equipment was recorded at fair value as a result of fresh-start accounting on October 1, 2019 and additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: buildings, twenty years; automobiles and computers, three years; computer software, fixtures, furniture and equipment, the lesser of lease term or five years; trailers, seven years; heavy equipment, eight to ten years and leasehold improvements, lease term. Land and artwork are not depreciated. Upon disposition, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Material expenditures which increase the life or productive capacity of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset. The Company reviews its other operating property and equipment for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires the Company to evaluate other operating property and equipment for impairment as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then the Company would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. Further, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of its other operating property and equipment at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining depreciation periods.
Restructuring	Restructuring During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company incurred none and approximately $2.6 million in restructuring charges, respectively, related to the consolidation into one corporate office and reductions in its workforce due to efforts to improve efficiencies and go forward costs. In May 2020 (Successor), in furtherance of the consolidation into one corporate office, the Company exercised a one-time early termination option under the lease agreement for the Company’s office space in Denver, Colorado. Refer to Note 4, “ Leases ,” for further details. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), several senior executives of the Company resigned from their positions. These were considered terminations without cause under their respective employment agreements, which entitled them to certain benefits. Additionally during the period, the Company made the decision to consolidate into one corporate office located in Houston, Texas in an effort to improve efficiencies and go forward costs. The transition includes both severance and relocation costs as well as incremental costs associated with hiring new employees to replace key positions. Consequently, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), the Company incurred $3.2 million and approximately $15.1 million in restructuring charges. These costs were recorded in “Restructuring” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk As of September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company’s primary concentrations of credit risk are the risks of uncollectible accounts receivable and of nonperformance by counterparties under the Company’s derivative contracts. Each reporting period, the Company assesses the recoverability of material receivables using historical data, current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to determine expected collectability of its material receivables. The Company’s accounts receivable are primarily receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers. The purchasers of the Company’s oil and natural gas production consist primarily of independent marketers, major oil and natural gas companies and gas pipeline companies. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts from its oil and natural gas purchasers. The Company operates a substantial portion of its oil and natural gas properties. As the operator of a property, the Company makes full payments for costs associated with the property and seeks reimbursement from the other working interest owners in the property for their share of those costs. Joint operating agreements govern the operations of an oil or natural gas well and, in most instances, provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and its joint interest owners. The Company’s joint interest partners consist primarily of independent oil and natural gas producers. If the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry in general was adversely affected, the ability of the Company’s joint interest partners to reimburse the Company could be adversely affected. The Company’s exposure to credit risk under its derivative contracts is diversified among major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, where it has master netting agreements which provide for offsetting of amounts payable or receivable between the Company and the counterparty. To manage counterparty risk associated with derivative contracts, the Company selects and monitors counterparties based on an assessment of their financial strength and/or credit ratings. At September 30, 2020 (Successor), the Company’s derivative counterparties include two major financial institutions, both of which are secured lenders under the Senior Credit Agreement.
Change in Estimate	Change in Estimate In late March 2020 (Successor), due to changes in market conditions and decreased commodity prices, the Company determined discretionary cash incentives related to 2019 would not be paid, causing a $1.6 million reduction to “General and administrative” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (Successor).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (ASU 2020-04), in response to the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This amendment provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging arrangements, and other transactions that reference LIBOR. ASU 2020-04 will be in effect through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2020-04 and the impact it may have on its operating results, financial position and disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12) as part of their simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2019-12, but does not believe that it will have a material impact on its operating results, financial position or disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13), which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace the previously required incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach as of the adoption date. Based the Company’s assessment of its applicable financial assets, which are receivables from joint interest owners and oil and natural gas purchasers with various potential remedies ensuring collection from those parties, as well as assets from derivative contracts outstanding with major financial institutions, the adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.

account for professional fees associated with the chapter 11 bankruptcy and an account to cash collateralize the Predecessor Company’s outstanding letters of credit. 3) Represents $10.2 million in debt issuance costs related to the Senior Credit Agreement, partially offset by the release of $3.1 million in fees paid to the Company’s restructuring advisors prior to the emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy. 4) Represents $7.7 million in fees to be paid to the Company’s restructuring advisors subsequent to the Company’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy, partially offset by payments of i) accrued interest and fees on the Predecessor Credit Agreement and the debtor-in-possession junior secured term credit facility of $3.5 million and ii) professional fees associated with the chapter 11 bankruptcy of $1.5 million. 5) On the Emergence Date, in accordance with the Plan, the Company repaid the principal outstanding on the Predecessor Credit Agreement of $223.2 million and the debtor-in-possession junior secured term credit facility of $35.0 million using proceeds from the Equity Rights Offerings and borrowings under the Senior Credit Agreement. 6) Reflects the initial borrowing on the Senior Credit Agreement. 7) Liabilities subject to compromise were as follows (in thousands): 6.75% senior notes due 2025 $ 625,005 Liabilities subject to compromise 625,005 Discount on shares issued per the Senior Noteholder Subscription Rights Offering (67,840) Issuance of common stock to Class 4 claimholders (75,388) Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ 481,777 8) Reflects the cancellation of Predecessor common stock and additional paid-in capital. 9) The following table reconciles reorganization adjustments made to Successor common stock and additional paid-in capital (in thousands): Par value of 16,203,940 shares of new common stock issued to holders of senior note claims and existing equity interest claims (valued at $19.74 per share) $ 2 Fair value of warrants issued to holder of the Existing Equity Interests (1) 7,336 Additional paid-in-capital (Successor) 322,294 Equity issuance costs associated with Equity Rights Offering (2,503) Total change in Successor common stock and additional paid-in capital $ 327,129 (1) The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Binomial Lattice model with the following assumptions: implied stock price of the Successor Company of $19.74; initial strike price per share of $40.17, $48.28, and $60.45, for Series A, B, and C warrants, respectively, increased each month at an annualized rate of 6.75%; expected volatility of 45%; and risk free interest rate using the USD Yield Curve at each time-step in the lattice. 10) The table below reflects the cumulative effect of the adjustments discussed above (in thousands): Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ 481,777 Success fees incurred upon emergence (8,376) Fair value of equity issued to Predecessor common stockholders (7,449) Fair value of warrants issued to Predecessor common stockholders (7,336) Issuance of common stock to backstop commitment parties (13,079) Other (2,668) Cancellation of Predecessor equity 1,087,457 Net impact to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) $ 1,530,326 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.
