Basis of Presentation | 1. Basis of Presentation These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting. All adjustments which are normal and recurring by nature, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair statement of Samson Oil & Gas Limited’s (the “Company”) Consolidated Financial Statements have been included herein. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of expected annual results because of the impact of fluctuations in prices received for oil and natural gas, as well as other factors. In the course of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes various assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and in the disclosures of commitments and contingencies. Changes in these assumptions, judgments and estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events, and, accordingly, actual results could differ from amounts previously established. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018. The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet presented herein was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report (“Form 10-K”). Accruals. Accrued liabilities at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 consist primarily of estimates for goods and services received but not yet invoiced. Prepayments. Prepayments at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2018 include tubing and chemicals and other subscription costs paid in advance for the year. Comparatives. Changes have been made to the classification of certain prior period comparatives in order to remain consistent with the current period presentation. These changes have had no material impact on the financial statements , but amounts and disclosures were changed to show the impact of discontinued operations. Liquidity and Going Concern These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the financial statements, we incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and as at that date, we had $38 million in current liabilities, including $10.1 million in accounts payable, and approximately $5.4 million in current assets, excluding oil and gas assets held for sale. As at September 30, 2018, we had net current liabilities of $3.2 million . Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on refinancing our $24 million bank debt or the sale of our oil and gas properties to repay that debt. We are engaged in discussions with a non-bank lender with respect to refinancing our current $24 million credit facility, which expired October 31, 2018, and is now due and payable. We have also engaged PLS Energy Advisory Group to market our assets. Based on our current financial position, in both cases we may be required to accept terms less favorable than would otherwise be available to us. There also can be no assurances that we will be successful in refinancing of our debt or to sell substantially all of our assets. These factors indicate there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Discontinued Operations As of September 30, 2018, the majority of our interest in the wells in the Foreman Butte project were held for sale and therefore have been recognized as discontinued operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. These are expected to be sold within the next 12 months, although we can offer no assurances these sale efforts will be successful. Discontinued Operations Quarter ended September 30, 2018 2017 Major line items constituting pretax gain (loss) of discontinued operations Oil sales 3,259,393 2,486,904 Gas sales 28,955 41,411 Other liquids 3,822 1,579 Other income* 1,000,000 - Lease operating expense (2,071,472) (1,627,486) Depletion, depreciation and amortization - (406,349) Accretion of asset retirement obligations - (68,145) Amortization of borrowing costs - (28,950) Interest expense (274,410 ) (247,690) Gain from discontinued operations 1,946,288 151,274 Cashflows from Discontinued Operations Cashflows from Operating Activities 1,415,774 (84,977) Cashflows from Investing Activities 663,794 (78,921) Cashflows from Financing Activities - 450,000 *”Other income” includes $1 million released from escrow in relation to the contracted sale of the Foreman Butte project that did not close. Recent Accounting Standards Revenue Recognition On J uly 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective approach, which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of the application. The adoption did not require an adjustment to the ope ning retained deficit for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have a material impact on our ongoing consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity or statement of cash flows. We recognize revenues from the sales of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) to our customers in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when our performance obligations under contracts with customers (purchasers) are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the products to the purchasers. Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of our sales , revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contracts. Consideration under the marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production and, as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales once payment is received from the purchaser. Such differences have historically not been significant as we use knowledge of our properties and their historical performance, spot market prices and other factors as the basis for these estimates. At September 30 , 2018, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of $ 1.2 million . There was no impact on previously recognized revenue and no changes to what we would have recognized under the previous revenue recognition standard, ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition Leasing Accounting Standards Codification 842 (“ASC 842”) Leases is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Although the impacts of the standard are still being reviewed, due to minimal leasing activity undertaken by the us, we expect this statement to have little impact on the Financial Statements. |
