We commenced operations on August 27, 2021, when QuarterNorth Energy LLC purchased certain oil and natural gas properties (the “Credit Bid Acquisition”) from Fieldwood Energy Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “Fieldwood”) pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement. We are active in the exploration, operations, exploitation, development and acquisition of oil and gas properties.

Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim periods. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been incorporated.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported balance sheet, results of operations, or cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from estimated amounts.
In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have reviewed, as determined necessary by management, events that have occurred after September 30, 2023, up until November 13, 2023, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.
