BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | Basis of Presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Unless otherwise noted in this Interim Report, there have been no material changes to the disclosures contained in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit), and Statements of Cash Flows, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CFW Resources, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company. The Company’s undivided interests in joint operating ventures are proportionately consolidated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are the most significant of the Company’s estimates. All reserve data used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are based on estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved, probable and possible reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. As a result, reserve estimates may be different from the quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that are ultimately recovered. Income (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, which includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities for this calculation consist primarily of warrants, outstanding options, and shares into which the convertible notes are convertible. When the Company records a loss from operations, all potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are consequently excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. The impact of potentially dilutive securities during the three months ended June 30, 2019 did not have a material impact on the earnings per share of the Company. Revenue Recognition Oil sales Under the Company’s oil sales contracts, the Company sells oil production at the point of delivery and collects an agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. The Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery at the net price received. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery. Natural gas and natural gas liquids Under the Company’s natural gas sales processing contracts, the Company delivers commingled natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) to a midstream processing entity. The midstream processing entity gathers and processes the various hydrocarbons and remits proceeds to the Company for the resulting sale. Under these processing agreements, the Company recognizes revenue when control transfers to the purchaser at the point of delivery. Payment is generally received from the customer one to two months following delivery. Disaggregation of Revenue. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Operating revenues Crude oil sales $ 5,549,270 $ 4,042,615 $ 9,728,216 $ 5,467,848 Natural gas sales 205,558 397,978 822,696 792,389 NGL sales 193,259 184,943 368,705 434,231 Total operating revenues $ 5,948,087 $ 4,625,536 $ 10,919,617 $ 6,694,468 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements and additional practical expedient options (collectively “ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease payment liabilities on the balance sheet for leases representing the Company’s right to use the underlying assets over the lease term. Each lease that is recognized on the balance sheet is classified as either finance or operating, with such classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the Statements of Operations Statements of Cash Flows The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company elected as part of its adoption to also use the optional transition methodology whereby previously reported periods continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting guidance for leases that were in effect for those prior periods. Policy elections and practical expedients that the Company has implemented as part of adopting ASC 842 include (a) excluding from the balance sheet leases with terms that are less than or equal to one year, (b) for all existing asset classes that contain both lease and non-lease components, combining these components together and accounting for them as a single lease component, (c) the package of practical expedients, which among other things, allows the Company to avoid reassessing contracts that commenced prior to adoption that were properly evaluated under legacy GAAP, and (d) excluding land easements, which were not accounted for under the previous leasing guidance, that existed or expired before adoption of ASC 842. The scope of ASC 842 does not apply to leases used in the exploration for minerals or use thereof, including oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The Company's adoption of ASC 842 resulted in an increase in other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other liabilities line items on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets |
