Auditors’ Responsibility

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses referred to above presents fairly in all material respects, the revenue and direct operating expenses of the Marquis Acquisition Properties for the year ended December 31, 2016, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND DIRECT
OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE MARQUIS ACQUISITION PROPERTIES
Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statement presents the revenue and direct operating expenses of the oil and natural gas properties acquired pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 25, 2017 among SN Marquis LLC (“SN Marquis”) and Lonestar Resources US Inc. (“Lonestar”) for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Marquis Acquisition Properties"). Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Lonestar acquired interests in certain Eagle Ford Basin oil and gas properties in Fayette, Gonzales and Lavaca County, Texas, including production from interests in 104 producing wells for a cash purchase price of approximately $50 million which consisted of approximately $44 million in cash and $6 million in Lonestar Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock). The acquisition of the Marquis Acquisition Properties closed on June 15, 2017.
The accompanying statement of revenue and direct operating expenses of the Marquis Acquisition Properties does not include indirect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, or any provision for income taxes. Lonestar's management believes historical expenses of this nature incurred by SN Marquis associated with the properties are not indicative of the costs to be incurred by Lonestar.
Revenue in the accompanying statement of revenue and direct operating expenses is recognized based on the Marquis Acquisition Properties' share of any given period's production volumes and revenue received for the period. The direct operating expenses are recognized based on the Marquis Acquisition Properties' share of direct costs including production taxes, lifting costs, gathering, well repair and well workover costs. Direct costs do not include general corporate overhead.
Historical financial information reflecting financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Marquis Acquisition Properties is not presented because it would be impractical and costly to obtain since such financial information was not historically prepared by SN Marquis. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not material. In addition, the Marquis Acquisition Properties were a part of a larger enterprise prior to the acquisition by Lonestar, and representative amounts of indirect general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest and other indirect costs were not necessarily allocated to the Marquis Acquisition Properties acquired, nor would such allocated historical costs be relevant to future operations of the Marquis Acquisition Properties. Accordingly, the historical statement of revenue and direct operating expenses of the Marquis Acquisition Properties is not indicative of the financial conditions or results of operations going forward. The historical statement of revenue and direct operating expenses of SN Marquis’ interest in the Marquis Acquisition Properties is presented in order to substantially comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for businesses acquired.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Lonestar has evaluated subsequent events through July 10, 2017, the date the accompanying statement of revenue and direct operating expenses was available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in the accompanying statement of revenue and direct operating expenses.

Note 3 – SUPPLEMENTARY OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The following reserve estimates have been prepared internally by Lonestar’s petroleum engineers as of December 31, 2016. The reserve estimates have been prepared in accordance with SEC rules and accounting standards based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month prices as of December 31, 2016 with appropriate adjustments for location, quality, gathering and marketing adjustments
| (a) | Reserve Quantity Information |
Proved reserves are estimated quantities of natural gas, crude oil and NGLs which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those which are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Below are the net quantities of total proved reserves and proved developed reserves of the Marquis Acquisition Properties. An analysis of the change in estimated quantities of reserves, all of which are located within the United States, is presented below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oil Equivalent | |
| | Oil (MBbl) | | | NGL (MBbl) | | | Gas (MMcf) | | | (Mboe) | |
Proved reserves as of January 1, 2016 | | | 15,297 | | | | 2,994 | | | | 13,495 | | | | 20,540 | |
Revisions of previous estimates (1) | | | (10,051 | ) | | | (1,853 | ) | | | (8,436 | ) | | | (13,310 | ) |
Production | | | (689 | ) | | | (156 | ) | | | (654 | ) | | | (954 | ) |
Proved reserves as of December 31, 2016 | | | 4,557 | | | | 985 | | | | 4,405 | | | | 6,276 | |
Proved developed reserves: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2016 | | | 3,376 | | | | 782 | | | | 3,524 | | | | 4,745 | |
Proved undeveloped reserves: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2016 | | | 1,181 | | | | 203 | | | | 881 | | | | 1,531 | |
| (1) | Included in revisions during 2016, were negative price revisions of approximately13.3 MMBoe primarily as a result of the average oil price of $42.75 in the January 1, 2017 reserves as compared to $50.28 in the January 1, 2016 reserves. Included in negative price revisions were 40 gross (39 net) PUD locations that were removed as a result of the lower price. |
| (b) | Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows |
The standardized measure related to proved oil, gas and NGL reserves for the Marquis Acquisition Properties is summarized below. This summary is based on a valuation of proved reserves using discounted cash flows based on SEC pricing applicable for each year, costs and economic conditions and a 10% discount rate. The additions to proved reserves from new discoveries and extensions and the impact of changes in prices and costs associated with proved reserves could vary significantly from year to year. Accordingly, the information presented below is not an estimate of the fair value of the Marquis Acquisition Properties and should not be considered indicative of any trends.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On June 15, 2017, Lonestar Resources US Inc. (“Lonestar”, the “Company”, “we”, and “our”) acquired certain oil and gas assets in Fayette, Gonzales and Lavaca Counties, Texas (the “Marquis Acquisition”). The unadjusted purchase price for the Marquis Acquisition was approximately $50 million consisting of (i) approximately $44 million in cash and (ii) 1,500,000 million shares valued at approximately $6 million of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
Also on June 15, 2017, the Company acquired certain oil and gas properties in Dewitt, Gonzales and Karnes Counties, Texas (the “Battlecat Acquisition” and, together with the Marquis Acquisition, the “Acquisitions”). The unadjusted purchase price for the Battlecat Acquisition was approximately $60 million consisting of (i) $55 million in cash and (ii) 1,184,632, shares valued at approximately $4.8 million of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
Upon closing of the Acquisitions, Lonestar acquired 115 gross / 80.3 net producing oil and gas wells, with Lonestar owning an average 70% working interest in the producing wells. The leasehold acquired total 30,219 gross / 21,238 net acres, with Lonestar owning an average 70% working interest in the leasehold. Lonestar initially identified during the acquisition process 85 gross / 73 net proved undeveloped drilling locations in the Lower Eagle Ford Shale. The Company has identified an additional 34 gross / 24 net drilling locations in the Lower Eagle Ford Shale to which proved reserves have not been assigned.
The cash consideration for the Acquisitions was provided by (a) the sale of 5,400 shares of Lonestar’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and 74,600 shares of Lonestar’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the “Series Preferred Stock”) to Chambers Energy Capital III, LP (“Chambers”), in each case at a price of $975 per share for an aggregate amount of approximately $77.7 million (less transaction costs), and (b) borrowings of approximately $23.7 million under Lonestar’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The non-cash consideration for the Acquisitions consisted of the issuance of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
The accompanying pro forma consolidated financial statements present the Marquis Acquisition along with (a) the related issuances of Series Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and (b) borrowings from the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Battlecat Acquisition is not included in the accompanying pro forma financial statements as it did not meet the significance tests under Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. These unaudited statements have been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to our historical financial statements and the Marquis Acquisition Properties statement of revenue and direct operating expenses for the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma statement of income data for the periods presented gives effect to the Marquis Acquisition and related transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet gives effect to the Marquis Acquisition and related transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2017.
The pro forma adjustments related to the purchase price allocation of the Marquis Acquisition are preliminary and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available. Revisions to the preliminary purchase price allocation may have a significant impact on the pro forma amounts of total assets, total liabilities and stockholders’ equity and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. The pro forma adjustments related to the Marquis Acquisition reflect the fair values allocated to the acquired assets as of the acquisition date and do not necessarily reflect the fair values that would have been recorded if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016 or March 31, 2017.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read together with the historical financial statements of Lonestar and the related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and the historical statement of revenue and direct operating expenses for the Marquis Acquisition properties filed as Exhibit 99.1 in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are included for informational purposes only and do not purport to reflect the results of operations or financial position that would have occurred had the Marquis Acquisition and related financing occurred on the assumed acquisition date. Accordingly, they should not be relied upon as indicative of our results of operations or financial position had the Marquis Acquisition and related financing occurred on the date assumed because they necessarily exclude various operating expenses. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not a projection of our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

Note 1 – ADJUSTMENTS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| a. | Represents proceeds of $77.7 million from the issuance of preferred stock and borrowings of approximately $23.7 million under our Senior Secured Credit Facility less approximately $44.0 million that was used to fund the cash portion of the Marquis Acquisition. $55 million of this was used to fund the Battlecat Acquisition, which is not included in the pro forma financial statements as it did not meet the significance tests under Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. |
| b. | Represents the purchase price allocation for the Marquis Acquisition of approximately $35.1 million to proved developed oil and gas properties, $15.0 million to proved undeveloped oil and gas properties and approximately $1.9 million to the asset retirement cost and the asset retirement obligation. |
| c. | Represents approximately $23.7 million borrowed under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to partially fund the Marquis Acquisition and Battlecat Acquisition. |
| d. | Represents the accrual for expenses of approximately $1.1 million related to the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, and approximately $1.2 million related to the acquisition of the Marquis Properties. The expenses for the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock were recorded as a net to additional paid-in capital in the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
| e. | Represents the issuance of 74,600 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock to Chambers issued at $975 per share and convertible at $6 per share classified as Mezzanine Equity in the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet. Also represented is the issuance of 5,400 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock to Chambers issued at $975 per share and convertible at $6 per share and the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to SN Marquis LLC at a per share price of $3.99 for partial funding of the Marquis Acquisition properties classified as Preferred Stock in the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet. Issuance of 1,184,632 Shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Battlecat Oil and Gas, LLC is not included as the Battlecat transaction did not meet the significance tests under Regulation S-X of the Securities Act. |
| f. | Represents the historical revenue and direct operating expenses of the Marquis Properties. |
| g. | Represents the increase in depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense computed on a unit of production basis following the fair value allocation of the purchase price to prove oil and gas properties, as if the Marquis Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 2016. |
| h. | Represents the net increase in interest expense resulting from the incremental borrowings from the Senior Secured Credit Facility, assuming an average annual rate of interest of 6.0%, which was the approximate average annual rate of interest for the borrowing associated with the Marquis Acquisition. |
| i. | Represents dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. |
| j. | There is no pro forma adjustment for income taxes in the year ended December 31, 2016, as the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards offset the income created by the Marquis Acquisition Properties. Pro forma adjusted income tax is approximately $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 based on the utilization of the Company’s corporate income tax rate of 35% applied to the pro forma Lonestar net income after pro forma adjustments of the Marquis Acquisition Properties. |
| k. | The Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are participating securities as they contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends at the same rate as common stock. EPS is computed under the two-class method, which is a method of computing EPS when an entity has both common stock and participating securities. Under the two-class method, the income and distributions attributable to participating securities are excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted EPS and the participating securities are excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding. An allocation of income attributable to participating securities of approximately $1.3 million was excluded from the calculation of basic EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The dilutive effect of the participating securities was calculated under the treasury stock method and the two-class method. The EPS was more diluted under the two-class method. As such, there is no difference in basic and diluted EPS for this pro forma. |

Note 2 – SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
Estimated Net Quantities of Oil and Gas Reserves
The pro forma estimates of proved oil and gas reserves and discounted future net cash flows for the properties as of December 31, 2016 were prepared internally by Lonestar’s petroleum engineers. Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of proved oil and gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions to be made in the evaluation of available geologic, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. The data for any given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variance in available data for various reservoirs make estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the statement of revenue and direct operating expenses disclosures.
The pro forma estimated proved net recoverable reserves presented below include only those quantities of oil and gas geologic and engineering data that demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future periods from known reservoirs under existing economic, operating and regulatory practices. Proved developed reserves represent only those reserves estimated to be recovered through existing wells. Proved undeveloped reserves include those reserves that may be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells on which a relatively major expenditure for recompletion or secondary recovery operation is required. All of the pro forma properties' proved reserves set forth herein are located in the Continental United States. The estimate of reserves and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows shown below reflect Lonestar’s development plan for these properties.
The following tables set forth certain unaudited pro forma information concerning Lonestar’s proved oil, gas and NGL reserves for the year ended December 31, 2016, giving effect to the Marquis Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016. The following tables provide a summary of the changes in estimated reserves for the periods presented.

As of December 31, 2016 | | | 29,542 | | | | 1,531 | | | | 31,073 | |
| (1) | Included in revisions during 2016, were negative price revisions of approximately 13.0 MMBoe primarily as a result of the average oil price of $42.75 in the January 1, 2017 reserves as compared to $50.28 in the January 1, 2016 reserves. Included in negative price revisions were 40 gross (39 net) PUD locations that were removed as a result of the lower price. |
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The pro forma standardized measure related to proved oil, gas and NGL reserves, which give effect to the Marquis Acquisition Properties, is summarized below. This summary is based on a valuation of proved reserves using discounted cash flows based on SEC pricing applicable for each year, costs and economic conditions and a 10% discount rate. The additions to proved reserves from new discoveries and extensions and the impact of changes in prices and costs associated with proved reserves could vary significantly from year to year. Accordingly, the information presented below is not an estimate of fair value and should not be considered indicative of any trends.
The pro forma standardized measure of discounted future cash flows does not purport, nor should it be interpreted to present, estimates of the fair value of the properties. An estimate of fair value would also take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs and a discount factor more representative of the time

value of money and risks inherent in reserve estimates. The following summary sets forth future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves based on the standardized measure prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 932.
