Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On December 17, 2019, Extraction Oil and Gas, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”), in consultation with the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, which are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2019 (the “Prior Filing”), and further amended and filed on November 8, 2019 (“Amendment No. 1”), should no longer be relied upon due to material misstatements.
This conclusion was reached due to an accounting error relating to the improper identification of the contract termination date for one of the Company’s revenue contracts that included an automatic renewal provision. The contract termination date impacts the amount of consideration that can be included in the transaction price. Accounting for the contract with an earlier termination date resulted in a decrease to the Company’s revenues and net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and adjustments to the Company’s assets and liabilities as previously reported in Amendment No. 1.
In addition, the Company has reassessed its conclusions regarding the disclosure controls and procedures for all interim periods in 2019 in light of the misstatements described above. As a result, the Company has determined that a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of September 30, 2019, and therefore the Company has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019 were not effective and the Company's previous evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019 should no longer be relied upon. Management determined that the Company did not design and maintain effective controls to determine the appropriate termination date and evaluate the potential accounting implications of changes in termination dates of contracts with customers.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company plans to further amend the Prior Filing to:
•restate the unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2019; and
•restate the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures included under Part I, Item 4.
The Company has discussed these matters with its independent registered public accounting firm.
