The accompanying notes are an integral part of the pro forma combined financial statements.
1. Basis of Presentation
Victory is the managing partner of Aurora, and holds a 50% partnership interest in Aurora. Aurora, a subsidiary of the Company, is consolidated with Victory for financial statement purposes, as the terms of the partnership agreement that governs the operations of Aurora give Victory effective control of the partnership. The financial statements include the accounts of Victory and the accounts of Aurora. The Company’s management, in considering accounting policies pertaining to consolidation, has reviewed the relevant accounting literature. The Company follows that literature in assessing whether the rights of the non-controlling interests should overcome the presumption of consolidation when a majority voting or controlling interest in its investee “is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances.” In applying the circumstances and contractual provisions of the partnership agreement, management determined that the non-controlling rights do not, individually or in the aggregate, provide for the non-controlling interest to “effectively participate in significant decisions that would be expected to be made in the ordinary course of business.” The rights of the non-controlling interest are protective in nature. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
On June 30, 2014, Aurora completed the initial closing (the “First Closing”) of a purchase of a 10% working and 7.5% net revenue interest in the proved and unproved Permian Basin Fairway Operations from a third party (the “Fairway Seller”) for $2,491,888 in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. On the First Closing, the Fairway Seller assigned certain of the assets in its Permian Basin Fairway Operation (the “First Closing Assets”) to Aurora. On the Second Closing Date, Aurora will pay the balance of the purchase price in return for the assignment by the Seller of the remaining Acquired Assets to Aurora. The total purchase price to be paid for the Acquired Assets will be determined upon completion of curative title work of the remaining properties in the Fairway Prospect. The Effective Date for the transfer of all assets is May 1, 2014. The acquisition of the First Closing Assets includes 7 producing wells and 4 wells completed and awaiting production start-up.
