FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This Form 10-Q and the information referenced herein contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigations Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “plan,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “assume,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “budget,” “forecast,” “predict” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places and include statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations, including the plans, beliefs and expectations of our officers and directors. When considering any forward-looking statement, you should keep in mind the risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include the timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for oil and natural gas, operating risks and other risk factors as described in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report and as also may be described from time to time in our future reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should read such information in conjunction with our consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this report. There also may be other factors that we cannot anticipate or that are not described in this report, generally because we do not currently perceive them to be material. Such factors could cause results to differ materially from our expectations.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake to update these statements other than as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements



Note 1 Organization and Basis of Preparation
 
Nature of Operations. Evolution Petroleum Corporation (the "Company," "EPM," "Evolution," "we," "our," or "us") is an oil and gas company focused on delivering a sustainable dividend yield to its stockholders through the ownership, management, and development of oil and gas properties. The Company's long-term goal is to build a diversified portfolio of oil and gas assets primarily through acquisition,acquisitions, while seeking opportunities to maintain and increase production through selective development, production enhancementenhancements and other exploitation efforts on its properties. Our largest active investment is our interest in a CO2 enhanced oil recovery project in Louisiana's Delhi field.
 
Interim Financial Statements.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the appropriate rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. The interim financial information and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,2019, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting.  Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EPM and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements for the previous year may include certain reclassifications to conform to the current presentation. Any such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity.
 
Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include (a) reserve quantities and estimated future cash flows associated with proved reserves, which may significantly impact depletion expense and potential impairments of oil and natural gas properties, (b) asset retirement obligations, (c) stock-based compensation, (d) fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, (e) income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets and (f)(e) commitments and contingencies. We analyze our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. While we believe that our estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Effective July 1, 2018,The significant accounting policies followed by the Company adoptedare set forth in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2019 Form 10-K and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Form 10-K.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement - Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"), which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use (“ASC 606”ROU”) usingasset and lease liability for leases. Classification of leases as either a finance or operating lease determines the full retrospective methodrecognition, measurement and has appliedpresentation of expenses. This accounting standards update also requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. Leases acquired to explore for or use minerals, oil or natural gas resources, including the standardright to all existing contracts. ASC 606 supersedes previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”) and includes a five-step revenue recognition model to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration in exchangeexplore for those goods or services. As a result of adopting ASC 606,natural resources and rights to use the Company didland in which those natural resources are contained, are not have a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings. The comparative information presented therein forwithin the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflects the reclassification on our consolidated statement of operations of $98,411 and $375,006, respectively, from “Production Costs” to “Revenue - Natural Gas Liquids” in conformance with ASC 606. These changes to revenue and production costs resulted from the conclusion that the Company did not control the product throughout processing before transferring to the customer. Therefore, costs incurred after the transfer of control are treated as reductions of revenue. Additionally, adoption of ASC 606 did not impact net income attributable to common stockholders, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity and the Company does not expect that it will do so in future periods.
Our revenues are comprised solely of revenues from customers from the sale of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. The Company believes that the disaggregation of revenue on its consolidated statements of operations into these three major product types appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors based on our single geographic location. Crude oil and NGL revenues are recognized at a point in time when production is sold to a purchaser at an index-based, determinable price, delivery has occurred, control has transferred and collectibilityscope of the revenue is probable. The transaction price used to recognize revenue is a function of the contract billing terms whichstandards update.

Revenue is invoiced by calendar month based on volumes at contractually based rates with payment typically required within 30 days for crude oilCompany adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach and 60 days for NGLs after the end of the production month. At the end of each month when the performance obligations have been satisfied, the consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in “Receivables” in our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, receivables from contracts with customers were $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
Other Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01").  The pronouncement requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investees) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entitieselected to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entitiesoptional transition methodology whereby reporting periods prior to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is requiredadoption continue to be disclosed for financial instruments measuredpresented in accordance with legacy accounting guidance, Accounting Standard Codification 840 - Leases. Upon transition, we recognized a ROU asset (or operating lease right-of-use asset) and an operating lease liability with no retained earnings impact. We applied the following practical expedients as provided in the standards update which provide elections to not reassess:
Not to apply the recognition requirements in the lease standard to short-term leases (a lease that at amortized cost. Effective July 1, 2018,commencement date has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not contain a purchase option that the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2016-01 without impactis reasonably certain to its consolidated financial positionexercise).
Whether an expired or resultsexisting pre-adoption date contracts contained leases.
Lease classification of operations. Because its investmentany expired or existing leases.
Initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.
Not to separate lease components from non-lease components in Well Lift Inc. does not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company elected to measure this investment at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactionscontract and accounting for the identical orcombination as a similar investmentlease (reflected by asset class).
Adoption of the same issuer, if they were to occur.
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses eight specific cash flow issues for which current GAAP is either unclear or doesnew standard did not include specific guidance. Adoption had no effect onimpact our current period and comparativeunaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations, cash flows.flows or stockholders’ equity. At adoption we recorded our operating lease as follows:
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company prospectively adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company will apply the clarified definition of business to future acquistions and divestitures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, and requires the use of a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Early adoption is permitted and entities must adopt the amendment using a modified retrospective approach to the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. For smaller reporting companies, as provided by Accounting Standards Update 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) (“, ASU 2016-02”), which relates to the accounting for leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard will be2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,annual periods, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the impact theannual periods, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will2016-13 is currently not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statementsstatements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes ("Topic 740") - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and we do not expectamends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the standard to have a material impact.impact of ASU 2019-12 on our consolidated financial statements.

We are a non-operator and presently do not take production in kind and do not negotiate contracts with customers. We recognize crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production revenue at the point in time when custody and title (“control”) of the product transfers to the customer. Transfer of control drives the presentation of post-production expenses such as transportation, gathering and processing deductions within the accompanying statements of operations. Fees and other deductions incurred prior to control transfer are recorded within the production costs line item on the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations, while fees and other deductions incurred subsequent to control transfer are embedded in the price and effectively recorded as a reduction of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production revenue.
Judgments made in applying the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, relate primarily to determining the point in time when control of product transfers to the customer. The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including amounts that represent variable consideration, as volume and price carry a low level of estimation uncertainty given the precision of volumetric measurements and the use of index pricing with predictable differentials. Accordingly, the Company does not consider estimates of variable consideration to be constrained.
The Company’s contractual performance obligations arise upon the production of hydrocarbons from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied at a point in time upon control transferring to a customer at a specified delivery point. Consideration is allocated to satisfied performance obligations at the end of an accounting period.
Revenue is recorded in the month when contractual performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of hydrocarbons and the related cash consideration are received one to two months after production has occurred, which is typical in the industry. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for the sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the receivables line item on the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheets until payment is received. The accounts receivable balances from contracts with customers presented on “Note 5 — Receivables” to the accompanying balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $2.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. To estimate accounts receivable from operator contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties, historical performance, contractual arrangements, index pricing, quality and transportation differentials, and other factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2020, related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods, was immaterial.
Note 4 — Prepaid ExpensesEnduro Purchase and Other Current AssetsSale Agreement and "Stalking Horse" Bid

AsDuring the first quarter of March 31,fiscal 2019, the Company recorded a $1.1 million break-up fee upon the closing of a higher bidder's purchase transaction. During May 2018, the Company had entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA"), to acquire, as the "stalking horse" bidder, certain oil and gas assets from an affiliate of Enduro Resource Partners LLC ("Enduro") for a purchase price of $27.5 million, subject to the outcome of Enduro's Chapter 11 process. Contemporaneous with executing the PSA, the Company made a $2.75 million deposit to an acquisition escrow account which, together with interest earned, comprised the restricted cash balance on the Company's June 30, 2018 our prepaid expensesconsolidated statement of financial position. Earlier in the first quarter of 2019, the Company was repaid its deposit together with related earned interest when a higher bidder first emerged in the bidding process.
The Company's initial and other current assets consistedsubsequent bids represented offers under Section 363 of the following:U.S. Bankruptcy Code in Enduro's Chapter 11 proceeding. Such offers are commonly referred to as “stalking horse” bids and are subject to higher bids, in accordance with the bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. In connection with the PSA, the Company had

During the nine months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company incurred capital expenditures of $1.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Hamilton Dome Acquisition
On November 1, 2019, and $2.3 million, respectively,effective as of October 1, 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Evolution Petroleum West, Inc., a Delaware corporation, purchased a 23.51% non-operating working interest and a 19.70% revenue interest in the Delhi field.Hamilton Dome unitized field located in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, from entities owned or controlled by Merit Energy Company ("Merit") of Dallas, Texas. At closing on November 1, 2019, we paid a cash purchase price of $9.5 million subject to customary purchase price adjustments, which were settled in December 2019 upon our receipt of a $0.2 million cash payment made by Merit. Given the effective date of the transaction, the purchase price adjustment consisted of our interest's share of sales proceeds from October sales net of our share of operating expenses. Commencing November 1, 2019, we began recording our share of Hamilton Dome revenues, related expenses and capital costs. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded a $0.9 million non-cash addition of asset retirement obligations of wells and related assets.
The unit included 265 producing and water injection wells and associated facilities producing crude oil from proved developed reserves. There were no proved undeveloped reserves, probable nor possible reserves. We accounted for this acquisition transaction as an asset purchase.

Note 8 — Leases
Operating leases are reflected as an operating lease ROU asset included in “Other assets, net”, and as a ROU liability in “Accrued liabilities and other” and “Operating lease liability” on our unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of an arrangement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In addition to the present value of lease payments, the operating lease ROU asset would also include any lease payments made to the lessor prior to lease commencement less any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain leases have payment terms that vary based on the usage of the underlying assets. Variable lease payments are not included in ROU assets and lease liabilities. For all operating leases, lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component.
As a non-operator in recent years and having adequate liquidity, the Company has generally not entered into lease transactions. Presently, our only operating lease is for corporate office space in Houston, Texas, effective May 1, 2019 and which expires November 30, 2022. Presently we have one operating lease for office space, no finance leases and no short-term leases.
Certain assumptions and judgments made by the Company when evaluating a contract that meets the definition of a lease under Topic 842 include:
Discount Rate - Our lease does not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, we are required to use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at commencement date. Our incremental borrowing rate reflects the estimated rate of interest that we would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. At adoption, July 1, 2019,we used our prime-rate-based borrowing rate under our senior secured credit facility as our incremental borrowing as the term facility was based on a similar term and is appropriately risk-adjusted.
Lease Term - At inception the Company evaluates the contract containing a lease arrangement to determine the length of the lease term when recognizing a ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. When determining the lease term, an option available to extend or to early terminate the arrangement is evaluated and included when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. Because of the Company’s intent to maintain operational flexibility, there is no available option to extend that the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise. We have no expectation to use the early termination option that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
At March 31, 2020, maturities of our operating lease liability are as follows:
Fiscal YearOperating Lease Liability
Remainder of 2020$14,709
202159,945

Our royalty rights and investment in Well Lift, Inc. ("WLI") resulted from the separation of our artificial lift technology operations in December 2015. We conveyed our patents and other intellectual property to WLI and retained a 5% royalty on future gross revenues associated with the technology. We own 17.5% of the common stock of WLI and account for our investment in this private company at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, if such were to occur. The Company evaluates the investment for impairment when it identifies any events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment.

 Expected Tax Treatment of Dividends

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018,2019, all common stock dividends were treated for tax purposes as qualified dividend income to recipients. Based on our current projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019,2020, we expect all common dividends for such period to be treated as qualified dividend income. Such projections are based on our reasonable expectations as of March 31, 20192020 and are subject to change based on our final tax calculations at the end of the fiscal year.
Note 1013 — Stock-Based Incentive Plan
At the December 8, 2016 annual meeting, the stockholders approved the adoption of the Evolution Petroleum Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), which replaced the Evolution Petroleum Corporation Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Plan (the "2004 Plan") for which there were no shares available for future grants. The 2016 Plan authorizes the issuance of 1,100,000 shares of common stock prior to its expiration on December 8, 2026. Incentives under the 2016 Plan may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company in any one or a combination of the following forms: incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, performance cash awards, and other forms of incentives valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, our common stock, including its appreciation in value. As of March 31, 2019, 852,1112020, 390,489 shares remained available for grant under the 2016 Plan.

All outstanding awards granted under the 2004 Plan continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such awards and the terms of the 2004 Plan. Under these agreements, we have outstanding grants of restricted common stock awards ("Restricted Stock") and contingent restricted common stock awards ("Contingent Restricted Stock") to employees and directors of the Company.

Restricted Stock and Contingent Restricted Stock

The Company has awarded grants of both Restricted Stock and Contingent Restricted Stock as part of its long-term incentive plan. Such grants, which expire after a maximum of four years if unvested, contain service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting provisions. The common shares underlying the Restricted Stock grants are issued on the date of grant. Contingent Restricted Stock grants vest only upon the attainment of higher performance-based or market-based vesting thresholds and are issued only upon vesting. Shares underlying Contingent Restricted Stock awards are reserved from the Plan they were granted under.

In July 2019, the new chief executive officer upon his employment, received 48,872 shares of serviced-based restricted common stock which vest in three equal amounts on June 30, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and was also awarded a total of 200,000 market-based restricted stock units consisting of four equal tranches, each of which may vest only if its respective stock price requirement is met before the award term expires. Each tranche has a separate stated price requirement and respective vesting will occur only if, before July 1, 2023, the ninety-day trailing average Company stock share price equals or exceeds its tranche price requirement.

Later during the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we granted 52,119 service-based and 104,236 market-based Restricted Stock awards to our employees as well as 56,395 service-based awards to the Company's directors.

Service-based awards vest with continuous employment by the Company, generally in annual installments over their terms of three to four years. Certain awards may contain other vesting periods, including quarterly installments andAwards to the Company's directors have one-year cliff vesting. Restricted Stock grants which vest based on service are valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and amortized over the service period. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we granted 31,777 service-based

Notes to our employees as well as 35,215 service-based awards to the Company's directors. We did not grant any performance-based awards, nor any Contingent Restricted Stock awards, during this period. The employees' service-based awards vest annually over a three-year period and the directors' service-based awards have a one-year cliff vesting period.Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


Performance-based grants vest upon the attainment of earnings, revenue and other operational goals and require that the recipient remain an employee or director of the Company through the vesting date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for performance-based awards ratably over the expected vesting period based on third-party independent assessment of the grant date fair value and when it is

Morecompanies. Additionally, more recent market-based awards vest ifwhen the average of the Company's closing stock pricesprice over a defined quarterly measurement periods together with accumulated paid dividendsperiod meets or exceeds a defined value.required stock price. The third-party independent assessment of fair values and expected vesting periods of these awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the historical volatility of the Company's total return compared to the historical volatilities of the other companies in the index. Compensation expense for market-based awards is recognized over the expected vesting period using the straight-line method, so long as the holder remains an employee or director of the Company. Total compensation expense is based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and is independent of vesting or expiration of the awards, except for termination of service.
For market-based awards granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the range of assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation valuations, expected lives and fair values were as follows:

Note 1114 Income Taxes
We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States and various combined and separate filings in several state and local jurisdictions.
There were neither unrecognized tax benefits nor any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during any periods presented in the financial statements. We believe we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our tax returns and that the accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on our assessment of various factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2015 through June 30, 2018 for federal tax purposes and for the years ended June 30, 20142016 through June 30, 2018 for state tax purposes. To the extent we utilize net operating losses generated in earlier years, such earlier years may also be subject to audit.
For the nine months ended March 31, 20192020, we recognized income tax benefit of $1.7 million and 2018, respectively, we recognizedhad an effective tax rate of (26.3)% compared to income tax expense of $2.8 million and an incomeeffective tax benefitrate of $(4.1) million. This benefit included a one-time $6.0 million tax credit, resulting from adjustment of our deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 2017 in connection with enactment of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). For18.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 20192019. During the current year we undertook a project to seek potential cash tax savings opportunities identifying available Enhanced Oil Recovery credits (“EOR credits”) related to our interests in the Delhi field. To take advantage of the EOR credits, we amended federal and state tax returns for the years ended June 30, 2017, and 2018, and incorporated the corresponding effectiveassociated impacts into our 2019 tax rates were 19% and (37)%.returns. Principally as a result of EOR credits, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $2.8 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2020, together with a $3.2 million receivable for income tax refunds at March 31, 2020. Our effective tax rate will typically differ from the statutory federal rate as a result of state income taxes, primarily in the State of Louisiana, and differences related to percentage depletion in excess of basis, stock-based compensation and other permanent differences. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,both periods, our respective statutory federal tax rates wererate was 21% and 27.55%, as we used a blended rate during the prior fiscal year in which the Tax Act was enacted. The benefit of this statutory rate reduction was partially offset by a decreased benefit from depletion in excess of basis as much of our depletion carryover had been utilized in fiscal 2018..

Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $18,568 and $18,568, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, rent expense was $56,672 and $57,617, respectively.
Note 1518Enduro Purchase and Sale AgreementSubsequent Events
The Company has continued to monitor the impact of the global outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus identified in late 2019 (“COVID-19”) and the partially related downward pressure on oil prices primarily driven by projected limitations on storage availability, forecasted reductions in global demand from various containment efforts and other geopolitical factors. Historically, the Company has funded its operations through cash from operations and working capital with its primary source of cash being the sale of oil and natural gas liquids production.
On April 6, 2020, we entered into NYMEX WTI oil swaps covering 1,400 barrels per day (or approximately 42,000 barrels per month) for the period of April 2020 through December 2020, at a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") on May 15, 2018, to acquire, as the "stalking horse" bidder, certain oil and gas assets from an affiliate of Enduro Resource Partners LLC ("Enduro") for a purchasefixed swap price of $27.5 million, subject to$32.00 per barrel. In the outcome of Enduro's Chapter 11 process. Contemporaneous with executing the PSA,future, the Company mademay add additional swaps or other derivative positions covering a $2.75 million depositvariable portion of its anticipated future production during subsequent periods.
The Company will continue to an acquisition escrow account which was reflectedmonitor oil prices in restricted cash togetherthe near term and may look to add to its hedge portfolio should the opportunity present itself. Consistent with earned interestprior years, the Company does not plan to designate its new position as a hedge for accounting purposes and will record the contract on its balance sheet at fair value.
On May 5, 2020, considering the Company'ssubstantial decline in oil prices, combined with the uncertainty of timing of any price recovery as a result of the global pandemic, the Company adjusted the dividend rate to $0.025 per share quarterly, effective in the quarter ending June 30, 2018 statement of financial position. On July 20, 2018,2020. The reduction in the dividend rate will allow the Company was repaid its deposit togetherto conserve cash for additional financial flexibility while continuing to reward shareholders with related earned interest as a higher bidder emerged in the Chapter 11 bidding process. In August 2018, upon the closing of a higher bidder's purchase transaction, the Company received payment of a $1.1 million breakup fee under the terms of the PSA. This breakup fee was effectively intended to cover the Company’s Enduro transaction costs, time and effort, substantially all of which occurred before June 30, 2018.yield.

Highlights for our Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019 and Operations Update

"Current quarter" refers to the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company's third quarter of fiscal 2019.

"Prior quarter" refers to the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company's second quarter of fiscal 2019.

"Year-ago quarter" refers to the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company's third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Highlights for the Quarter
We paid our twenty-second consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common shares, and declared the next quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on June 28, 2019.
Current quarter net income was $2.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $3.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, in the prior quarterHamilton Dome field located in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, a secondary recovery field utilizing water injection wells to pressurize the reservoir, and $3.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted common share,overriding royalty interests in the year-ago quarter.
We reported revenues of $9.5 million for the current quarter, a decrease of 14% from the prior quarter and a 7% decrease from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to a lower realized oil price than in the comparative periods.
General and administrative expenses decreased 5% to $1.2 million for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter and decreased 35% from the year-ago quarter.
Working capital increased 9.6% to $31.1 million compared to year-ago quarter end and we remain debt free.


Delhi Field - Enhanced Oil Recovery Project

two onshore Texas wells.
Our interests in the Delhi field consist of a 23.9% working interest, (withwith an associated 19.0% net revenue interest)interest and separate overriding royalty and mineral interests of 7.2%. This yields yielding a total net revenue interest of 26.2%. The field is operated by Denbury Onshore LLC, a subsidiary of Denbury Resources, Inc. (the "operator"(NYSE: DNR).
On November 1, 2019, the Company acquired mineral interests in the Hamilton Dome field consisting of a 23.5% working interest, with an associated 19.7% revenue interest (inclusive of a small overriding royalty interest). The field is operated by Merit Energy Company ("Merit")., a private oil and gas company, who owns the vast majority of the remaining working interest in Hamilton Dome field. Our acquired interest in this field aligned with the Company's strategy of adding long lived, low decline reserves expected to be supportive of our dividend over the long-term.
Highlights for our Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 and Operations Update

Paid 26th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common shares and declared the next dividend payment of $0.025 per share, payable on June 30, 2020.
Reported net income of $3.7 million, inclusive of a $2.8 million one-time income tax benefit related to Enhanced Oil Recovery credit, marking the 16th consecutive quarter of positive reported net income.
Reported cash flows from operating activities of $4.1 million and $12.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.
Ended the quarter with $20.7 million in cash and an undrawn credit facility. On April 27, 2020, the Company completed its spring redetermination of the credit facility resulting in a decrease of the borrowing base to $27 million, which remains undrawn.
In response to the growing global pandemic caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus identified in late 2019 (“COVID-19”), the Company successfully activated its business continuity plan and transitioned to working from home.
On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into NYMEX WTI oil swaps covering approximately 42,000 barrels per month for the period of April 2020 through December 2020 at a fixed swap price of $32.00 per barrel.

Overview

In early March 2020, crude oil prices declined sharply as a result of multiple significant factors impacting supply and demand in the global oil and natural gas markets, including a global pandemic caused by COVID-19. We expect the price of crude oil to continue to be depressed and remain volatile at least through the near term as evidenced by the current crude oil futures market. We cannot predict the duration or effects of this sudden decrease but must be prepared for crude oil prices to remain depressed for an extended period and for its potential effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Net production of oil and NGL averaged 2,016 BOEPD during the quarter which is essentially flat compared to the 2,034 BOEPD during the prior quarter. Gross oil production at Delhifor the Company averaged approximately 6,5007,827 BOPD during the quarter, a 4.4%6.6% increase from the prior quarter primarily driven by the acquisition of our Hamilton Dome field in November of 2019 partially offset by lower oil production in the Delhi Field. In the current quarter, CO2 costs decreased 57%. The pipeline that supplies CO2 to the Delhi field was shut in on February 22nd when a pressure loss was detected and CO2 purchases were temporarily suspended. CO2 purchases provide approximately 20% of the injected volumes in the field, and the field’s recycle facilities provide the other 80%. The recycle facilities continue to operate as usual. The pipeline is owned and operated by Denbury Resources, and the Company does not have any ownership in the portion of the pipeline under repair, which is upstream of the Delhi field. Denbury Resources has initiated a project to repair the pipeline, but has not yet set an estimated return to service date. Gross NGL production for the quarter was approximately 1,098 BOEPD, a 2.8% decrease from the prior quarter. Gross NGL production for quarter was 1,213 BOEPD, up 23% from the prior quarter. Oil production was impacted quarter over quarterprimarily due to scheduled planta planned maintenance in January. All of the infill producing wells and all but one injection well were in operationproject at the end of the quarter. Production is expected to be positively impacted over time as we see response to the new CO2 injector wellsDelhi Field which lasted 10 days and increaseswas completed in injections, and we expect the operator to continue generating workover and conformance opportunities.  The operator has been successful in facility modifications, improving plant efficiency and minimizing unplanned downtime resulting in improved NGL production in the current quarter and further improvements subsequent to quarter end.February.
During the current quarter, we incurred $0.7 million on capital projects consisting of $0.3 million for conformance and capital maintenance, $0.2 million primarily for remaining completion costs of a water injection well and a water source well in preparation for Phase V expansion of the flood, and $0.2 million was expended on the NGL plant enhancing flows of richer streams for processing.

In the current quarter, operating revenues were $9.5 million, based on an average realized oil priceThe Company recorded quarterly net income of $59.12 per barrel and an average realized NGL price of $16.37 per BOE, and we generated $3.0 million in income from operations. The decline in NGL realized prices is directly related to lower oil prices primarily in the first two months of the current quarter together with the Delhi field's ongoing fixed, per barrel post production cost allocation to the field’s royalty and mineral interests, which also reduces our revenue from such interests. This earnings effect is mostly offset by lower lease operating expense for our Delhi working interest that shares in recovered post production costs. In the year-ago quarter, operating revenues were $10.2 million and we had income from operations of $3.8 million, based on an average realized oil price of $63.56 per barrel and an average realized NGL price of $34.05 per BOE. Net production volumes in the current quarter were 2,016 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“BOEPD”), down slightly from the 2,034 BOEPD in the prior quarter and up from the year-ago quarter’s 1,884 BOEPD. Net income for the quarter was $2.4$3.7 million, or $0.07$0.11 per diluted share, compared to $3.9$1.8 million, or $0.12$0.05 per diluted share, in the previous quarter and $3.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share,prior quarter. The increase in the year-ago quarter.

Production costs in the Delhi field were $3.8 million innet income during the current quarter up 9.9% from the prior quarterincludes a $2.8 million income tax benefit related to Enhanced Oil Recovery credits and 16% from the year-ago quarter. Purchased CO2 volumes increased 33% compared to the previous quarter and 36% compared to year-ago quarter to 103.3 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day due to completion of injection wells added by the infill drilling program and returning the field to optimal pressure.lower CO2 purchase costs per mcf were 6% lower than both the previous and year-ago quarters reflecting the lower current quarter realized oil price to which CO2 cost is linked. The current quarter's oil price was 8.2% and 7.0% lower than those of the previous and year-ago quarters, respectively. Other production costs were virtually flat compared to the previous quarter and were 6.5% higher that the year-ago quarter due primarily to higher fuel gas and chemicals expenses,as discussed above partially offset by lower electricity expense.average realized oil prices.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Geopolitical Factors

ResultsOn March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a notional emergency with respect to COVID-19. The disease has continued to spread in the United States and abroad, with the potential for catastrophic impact. National, state and local authorities have recommended social distancing and imposed quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of Operationsthe population, including mandatory business closures. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including government payments to affected citizens and industries, is uncertain.

Revenues
Comparedoperations will be affected long-term. However, the likely overall economic impact of the pandemic is viewed as highly negative to the year-ago quarter, current quarter revenues decreased due to 13% lower realized commodity prices partially offset by an 7% increase in production volumes. The following table summarizes total production volumes, daily production volumes, average realized pricesgeneral economy, especially the oil and revenue fornatural gas industry. During the three months ended March 31, 20192020, primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and 2018:
actions taken by OPEC+, the benchmark price of WTI dropped significantly. Although global outputs can be adjusted to support commodity pricing levels, the Company expects the price of crude oil to remain volatile in the near term.

Net Income
Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 decreased $3.0 million, or 20%, to $12.1 million compared to the same year-ago period primarily due to a non-recurring prior year deferred tax credit of $6.0 million, partially offset by a $3.9 million, or 35%, increase in income before income taxes. This income tax benefit resulted from the revaluation of our deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 2017 to reflect the lower federal statutory

rate under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.

Excluding the effect of the $6.0 million tax benefit from income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, income tax as a percentage of income before income taxes would have been approximately 18%. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our respective statutory federal tax rates were 21% and 27.55%, as we used a blended rate during our fiscal 2018 in which the Tax Cut and Jobs Act was enacted. The benefit of the lower statutory rate was partially offset by a decreased benefit from depletion in excess of basis as much of our depletion carryover had been utilized by June 30, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
WeAt March 31, 2020, the Company had $29.6$20.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, (and no restricted cash) at March 31,impacted by the $9.3 million purchase of Hamilton Dome in November 2019, and $27.7compared to $31.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2018.2019.

On November 1, 2019, and effective as of October 1, 2019, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Evolution Petroleum West, Inc., the Company purchased a 23.51% non-operating working interest and a 19.70% revenue interest in the Hamilton Dome field located in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, from entities owned or controlled by Merit Energy Company ("Merit"). The cash consideration to Merit amounts to $9.3 million after net settlement of post-closing adjustments.
In addition, we havethe Company has a senior secured reserve-based credit facility (the "Facility") with a maximum capacity of $50 million. The Facility had $40 million of undrawn borrowing base availability on March 31, 2019. Under the Facility the2020. Subsequently and effective on April 27, 2020, primarily due to lower crude oil prices, our borrowing base shall be determined semiannually as of May 15 and November 15.was redetermined at $27 million. There have been no borrowings under the Facility, which matures on April 11, 2021, and it is secured by substantially all ofby the Company’s assets.
During the current quarter, the bank performed its periodic spring redetermination of borrowing base and confirmed our elected amount of $40 million. Our next scheduled determination will occur this fall.
During the current fiscal year, we amended the credit agreement to broaden the definition for Use of Proceeds to provide funds, limited to an amount not in excess of 25% of the borrowing base, for investments into cash flow generating assets complimentary to the production of oil and gas.reserves associated with Delhi field.
Any future borrowings bear interest, at the Company's option, at either LIBOR plus 2.75% or the Prime Rate, as defined under the Facility, plus 1.0%. The Facility contains covenants thatwhich require the maintenance of (i) a total leverage ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0, (ii) a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (iii) a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than $50.0 million, each as defined in the Facility. The Facility also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Facility.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we funded our operations, capital expenditures and cash dividends with cash generated from operations resulting in an increase of $1.9 million in cash. As of March 31, 2019, our working capital was $31.1 million, an increase of $3.4 million over working capital of $27.7 million at June 30, 2018.
We haveThe Company has historically funded our operations through cash from operations and working capital. OurThe primary source of cash is the sale of oil and natural gas liquids production. A portion of these cash flows are used to fund our capital expenditures. While we expect to continue to expend capital to further develop the Delhi field, we and the operator have flexibility as to when this capital is spent. The Company expects to manage future development activities in the Delhi field and the limited capital maintenance requirements of the Hamilton Dome field within the boundaries of its operating cash flow and existing working capital.
We may choose to pursueThe Company is pursuing new growth opportunities through acquisitions or other transactions. In addition to our cash on hand, we havethe Company has access to at least $40 million ofan undrawn elected borrowing base availability under oura senior secured credit facility. In addition we haveAlso, the Company has an effective shelf registration statement with Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC under which wethe Company may issue up to $500 million of new debt or equity securities. If we choose to pursueIn the pursuit of new growth opportunities, we would expectthe Company expects to use our internal resources of cash, working capital and borrowing capacity under ourthe credit facility. It may also be advantageous for us to consider issuing additional equity as part of any potential transaction, but we havethere are no specific plans to issue additional equity at this time.
Our other significant useDuring the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company funded operations, capital expenditures and cash dividends with cash generated from operations resulting in a decrease of $10.9 million in cash, is our on-going dividendlargely impacted by $9.3 million spent on an acquisition of the Hamilton Dome field and $2.5 million for repurchasing shares under the buyback program. As of March 31, 2020, working capital was $23.1 million, a decrease of $9.3 million over working capital of $32.4 million at June 30, 2019.
The Board of Directors instituted a cash dividend on our common stock in December 2013 and we have2013. The Company has since paid twenty-twotwenty-six consecutive quarterly dividends. Distribution of a

substantial portion of free cash flow in excess of our operating and capital requirements through cash dividends and potential repurchases of our common stock remains a priority of ourthe Company’s financial strategy, and it is our long termthe Company's long-term goal to increase our dividends over time, as appropriate. On May 7, 2019,However, due to the potential to pursue other opportunities at discounted prices during the current industry downturn, the Board declared the nextof Directors believed it was prudent to adjust its quarterly common stock dividend ofrate from $0.10 per share which will be paid onto $0.025 per share, effective in the quarter ending June 28, 2019 to stockholders of record on June 14, 2019.30, 2020. The Board reviewsreduction in the quarterly dividend rate will allow the Company to conserve cash for additional financial flexibility while continuing to reward shareholders with a yield of approximately 3% at current stock price levels. As in lightthe past, the Company intends to return to higher dividend levels after the industry emerges from the current economic climate.
In May 2015, the Board of our financial positionDirectors approved a share repurchase program covering up to $5 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company monitors its stock price and operations, forecasted results, including the outlook for oil and NGL prices, the timing of further expansion of Delhi development and other potential growth opportunities.
Capital Budget - Delhi Field
looks to opportunistically purchase its common stock when market conditions are deemed to be appropriate. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Company purchased 440,666 shares at an average cost of $5.51 per share bringing its total to $4.0 million to purchase 706,858 common shares at an average price of $5.72 per share.
In early March 2020, oil prices declined rapidly. Despite the significant decline in oil prices, the Company is well positioned to manage the current low-price environment due to the Company’s cash on hand as well as its borrowings available under its undrawn senior secured credit facility. Additionally, the Company has no long-term service contracts or drilling commitments. On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into NYMEX WTI oil swaps covering approximately 42,000 barrels per month for the

period of April 2020 through December 2020, at a fixed swap price of $32.00 per barrel. The Company’s projects having sufficient liquidity to meet all its identified cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Capital Expenditures
For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred $4.7$11.5 million on capital projects consisting of capital expenditures$9.3 million for the acquisition of Hamilton Dome field, a $0.9 million non-cash asset addition related to Hamilton Dome asset retirement obligations, and incurred $1.3 million at Delhi. the Delhi field, primarily for the NGL plant and completion of the water curtain project.
The current expectation forCompany does not anticipate any material net capital spending for the remainder of fiscal 2019 is approximately $0.5 million,2020 as all remaining conformance and approximately $1.5 million forcapital workover plans have been delayed based on the first halfrecent decrease in oil prices and no property purchases are pending.
Full Cost Pool Ceiling Test
At the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our capitalized costs of oil and gas properties were well below the full cost valuation ceiling and we do not currently expect that a write-down of capitalized oil and gas property costs will be required in the remainder of fiscal 2020, primarily for conformance2020. However, lower oil prices reduced the excess, or cushion, of our valuation ceiling over our capitalized costs in the current quarter and workover projectsmay adversely impact our ceiling tests in future quarters. We cannot give assurance that a write-down of capitalized oil and maintenance capital forgas properties will not be required in the NGL plant. We believe thatfuture. Under the operator will continuefull cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and related deferred taxes, are limited to the development of the field through Phase V in our fiscal years 2020 and 2021. We anticipate funding for our share of capital expenditure at Delhi to be met fromestimated future net cash flows from operations.
Our proved undevelopedoil and gas reserves, discounted at June 30, 2018 included 537 MBOE10%, plus the lower of reservescost or fair value of unproved properties, as adjusted for related income tax effects (the valuation “ceiling”). If capitalized costs exceed the full cost ceiling, the excess would be charged to expense as a write-down of oil and $1.9 million of future development costs associatedgas properties in the quarter in which the excess occurred. The quarterly ceiling test calculation requires that we use the average price received for our petroleum products during the twelve-month period ending with the infill drilling program and 1,546 MBOE of reserves and $10.9 million ofbalance sheet date. If commodity prices remain at the current quarter’s lower levels, the average prices used in future development costs associated with Phase V development in the eastern portion of the field. The timing of Phase V development is dependent in part on the results and CO2 requirements of the infill drilling program. The timing of such development is also dependent, in part, on the field operator's available funds and capital spending plans and priorities within its portfolio of properties. At present, we expect to begin this development in our fiscal year 2020.
Funding for our anticipated capital expenditures at Delhi for our fiscal 2020 is expected to be met from cash flows from operations and current working capital.ceiling test calculations will decline.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company spent $2.4 million for common stock repurchases of which virtually all were made under its authorized stock buyback program.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
Revenues
Compared to the corresponding year-ago period, current period revenues decreased 18.8% primarily due to a 26.0% lower realized commodity prices partially offset by a 9.8% increase in production volumes impacted by our interest in the Hamilton Dome field acquired in November 2019. The Company's average realized oil price was lower principally due to the decline in WTI pricing. The Company's Hamilton Dome production trades at a discount to WTI due to its specific gravity and sulfur content, while its Delhi production typically trades at a premium. Contributing to the decrease was additional trucking and handling charges during January 2020 while the Delhi oil sales pipeline was being repaired. The sales pipeline went back online February 1, 2020 thereby eliminating the trucking and handling charges.

In the current quarter, CO2 costs decreased 57%. The pipeline that supplies CO2 to the Delhi field was shut in on February 22, 2020, when a pressure loss was detected, and CO2 purchases were temporarily suspended. CO2 purchases provide approximately 20% of the injected volumes in the field, and the field’s recycle facilities provide the other 80%. The recycle facilities continue to operate as usual. The pipeline is owned and operated by Denbury Resources, and the Company does not have any ownership in the portion of the pipeline under repair, which is upstream of the Delhi field. Denbury Resources has initiated a project to repair the pipeline, but has not yet set an estimated return to service date. Compared to the year-ago quarter, "Other production costs" increased 61% primarily due to the acquisition of the Hamilton Dome field in the prior quarter whereas during the year-ago quarter the Company did not have any ownership in the Hamilton Dome field. The Delhi field's "Other production costs" increased slightly by 1.1%.
Compared to the year-ago quarter, Delhi field costs decreased 17% to $17.45 per BOE of Delhi production in current quarter, largely due to lower CO2 costs, partly offset by lower field volumes. 
Hamilton Dome field costs per BOE were $27.55 for the current quarter.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization ("DD&A")
Total DD&A expense was 10% lower compared to the year-ago quarter primarily due to a 19.2% decline in the DD&A rate partially offset by a 9.8% increase in production volumes in the period. The integration of the Hamilton Dome asset led to a lower overall DD&A per BOE rate.

The Company’s average realized oil price was lower primarily due to the decline in West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") pricing. The Company’s Hamilton Dome production typically trades at a discount to WTI due to its specific gravity and sulfur content while its Delhi production typically trades at a premium. Also contributing to the decrease was lower LLS premium for Delhi field production due to temporarily higher transportation costs. From mid November 2019 through January 2020, the net realized price was impacted by temporary trucking and handling charges incurred while the oil sales pipeline underwent repairs.

Compared to the year-ago period, CO2 costs declined 28%. The pipeline that supplies CO2 to the Delhi field was shut in on February 22, 2020 when a pressure loss was detected, and CO2 purchases were temporarily suspended. CO2 purchases provide approximately 20% of the injected volumes in the field, and the field’s recycle facilities provide the other 80%. The recycle facilities continue to operate as usual. The pipeline is owned and operated by Denbury Resources, and the Company does not have any ownership in the portion of the pipeline under repair, which is upstream of the Delhi field. Denbury Resources has initiated a project to repair the pipeline, but has not yet set an estimated return to service date.
Compared to the year-ago period, "Other production costs" increased by $1.9 million primarily due to five months of production costs attributable to the Hamilton Dome field acquired on November 1, 2019, whereas during the year-ago period the Company did not have any ownership in the Hamilton Dome field. The Delhi field’s “Other production costs” were $0.2 million lower common share repurchasescompared to the year-ago period.      
On a total cost per BOE basis, Delhi field costs decreased 6.0% to $18.23 per BOE in current period, primarily due to a 20.8% decline in CO2 cost per BOE, partially offset by a 6% increase in other production costs per BOE. 
Hamilton Dome field costs per BOE was $30.22 for its five months included in the current period.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization ("DD&A")
Total DD&A expense was 8.5% lower compared to the same year-ago period due to an 9.2% decrease in the oil and gas DD&A amortization as the volume change between the two periods was very slight. The integration of the Hamilton Dome asset contributed to an overall lower composite DD&A rate.

General and Administrative Expenses
Expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 increased $0.5 million, or 12.8%, to $4.2 million relative to the comparable period in 2019, primarily due to higher noncash stock-based compensation related to stock-based awards vestings.the hiring of a new executive officer, and increases in professional fees, including but not limited to Audit, Tax, Legal and Consulting services.

Other Income and Expenses

Pre-tax income decreased due to the aforementioned revenue and expense variances. Our income tax provision decreased primarily due to lower pre-tax income as our effective income tax rate was relatively unchanged from the year-ago period. In addition, during the current period, we recorded a $2.8 million income tax benefit related to Enhanced Oil Recovery credits claimed on the federal income tax return for fiscal 2019 and on amended federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2017 and 2018.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, did not change materially from the disclosures in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.2019.
Commodity Price Risk
Our most significant market risk is the pricing for crude oil and NGL's. We expectare exposed to various risks, including energy prices to remain volatilecommodity price risk, such as price differentials between the NYMEX commodity price and unpredictable. If energythe index price at the location where our production is sold. When oil and natural gas liquids prices decline significantly our revenuesability to finance our capital budget and cash flow would significantly decline.operations may be adversely impacted. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and gas properties could be required under full cost accounting rules if future oil and gas commodity prices sustainedsustain current price levels or if they continue to decline.
We expect the current weakness in oil and gas prices to persist for some time and have a significant decline. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital, as, if and when needed. We may use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk from time to time basednegative impact on our assessmentrevenues and cash flows. As a result, on April 6, 2020, we entered into NYMEX WTI oil swaps covering 1,400 barrels per day (or approximately 42,000 barrels per month), a substantial portion of such risk.our anticipated production, for the period April 2020 through December 2020, at a fixed swap price of $32.00 per barrel. We are exposed to market risk on this open derivative contract related to potential non-performance by our counterparty. It is our policy to enter into derivative contracts only with

counterparties that are credit worthy institutions. We did not post collateral under the swap as it represents an uncollateralized trade.

Interest Rate Risk 
We currently have only a small exposure to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.
