All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are expressed in ~~thousands of~~ U.S. dollars ~~(except per share data)~~ unless otherwise noted.

Ultra Petroleum Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the ~~“Company”, “Ultra”, “our”, “we”,~~“Company,” “Ultra,” “our,” “we,” or “us”) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the operation and production, development ~~production, operation,~~and exploration, and acquisition of oil and natural gas properties. Ultra Petroleum Corp. is incorporated under the laws of Yukon, Canada. The Company’s principal business activities are operating and developing its long-life natural gas reserves in the Pinedale and Jonah fields of the Green River Basin of southwest Wyoming.

On May 14, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Ultra Petroleum Corp. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including UP Energy Corporation (“UPE”), Ultra Resources, Inc. (“Ultra Resources”), Keystone Gas Gathering, LLC, Ultra Wyoming, LLC, Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC, UPL Pinedale, LLC, and UPL Three Rivers Holdings, LLC (collectively, the “Filing Subsidiaries” and, together with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the “Court”). The Court entered an order to jointly administer the Chapter 11 cases under the caption In re Ultra Petroleum Corp., et al., Case No. 20-32631 (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”). Information about the Chapter 11 Cases is available at the Company’s website (www.ultrapetroleum.com) and also at a website maintained by the Company’s claims agent, Prime Clerk (https://cases.primeclerk.com/UltraPetroleum/).

The Debtors are currently operating the business as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. After the Debtors filed the Bankruptcy Petitions, the Court granted certain relief which enabled the Debtors to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, authorizing the Debtors to pay employee wages and benefits, pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, continue to operate its cash management system in the ordinary course, remit funds held from time to time for the benefit of third parties (such as royalty owners), and pay the pre-petition claims of certain of the Debtors’ vendors that hold liens under applicable non-bankruptcy law. For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Debtors intend to pay vendors in full under normal terms.

Subject to certain exceptions provided for in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, all judicial and administrative proceedings against the Debtors or the Debtors’ property were automatically enjoined, or stayed, as of the Petition Date. In addition, the filing of new judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors or the Debtors’ property for claims arising prior to the Petition Date were automatically enjoined. This prohibits, for example, the Debtors’ lenders or noteholders from pursuing claims for defaults under the debt agreements and the contract counterparties from pursuing claims for defaults under the Debtors’ contracts. Accordingly, unless the Court agrees to lift the automatic stay, all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities and obligations should be settled or compromised under the Bankruptcy Code as part of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and its ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases as described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, the Company’s assets, liabilities, contractual obligations, officers and/or directors could be significantly different following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, the description of the Company’s operations, properties and capital plans included in these financial statements may not accurately reflect its operations, properties and capital plans following the Chapter 11 Cases.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with the holders of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Consenting RBL Lenders”); (ii) approximately 85% of the aggregate principal amount of loans outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Consenting Term Lenders”); and (iii) 67% of the Second Lien Notes issued pursuant to the Second Lien Indenture, by and between Ultra Resources, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as trustee and collateral agent, (the “Consenting Noteholders” and, together with the Consenting RBL Lenders and Consenting Term Lenders, the “Restructuring Support Parties”). As of July 31, 2020, the percentage consenting lenders increased to 99% and 96% for the Consenting Term Lenders and Consenting Noteholders, respectively.

Pursuant to the RSA, the Restructuring Support Parties agreed (subject to the terms and conditions of the RSA) to vote to accept the Debtors’ prepackaged joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (as proposed, the “Plan”) described below.

On May 15, 2020, consistent with the RSA, the Debtors solicited acceptances of and filed with the Court the proposed Plan which, subject to Court approval and the requisite support of the Debtors’ creditors:

On June 22, 2020 and in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors filed a motion for approval of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) [Docket No. 301], and on June 26, 2020, the Court approved such motion and entered an order approving the Purchase Agreement [Docket No. 333] (the “PSA Order”).

On June 26, 2020, the Debtors entered into the First Amendment to the Restructuring Support Agreement with the requisite consenting parties thereto (the “Consenting Stakeholders”) to permit the Debtors to enter into and perform under an agreement to purchase the LGS as described under the Company’s lease agreement with Corridor as described below.

In accordance with the PSA Order, on June 28, 2020, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ultra Wyoming, LLC (“Ultra Wyoming”), entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Ultra Wyoming and Corridor, pursuant to which, among other things, Ultra Wyoming agreed to purchase the LGS for a purchase price of $18.0 million. On June 30, 2020, Ultra Wyoming and Corridor closed the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Concurrent with the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the preexisting lease agreement between the Company and Corridor was terminated pursuant to the Court’s acceptance of the rejection notice of the LGS lease agreement. As a result, the right-of-use assets and lease liability was reduced by the remaining payments under the lease agreement.

On July 27, 2020, the Debtors entered into a backstop purchase agreement (the “Backstop Purchase Agreement”) with certain holders of the Company’s pre-petition indebtedness (collectively, the “Backstop Parties”). Pursuant to the Backstop Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Parties agreed to backstop the rights offering contemplated by the Plan for new common stock of reorganized UPE to be issued upon the effectiveness of the Plan for an aggregate purchase price of up to $85.0 million.

Pre-Petition Restructuring Expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $9.7 million and $12.4 million of professional, advisory, consulting, and legal fees related to the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the petition date, respectively. These expenses are reported as “Pre-petition restructuring expenses” in Operating income (loss) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Costs of Reorganization. Expenses incurred after the petition date are recorded as “Reorganization items, net” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant direct costs associated with its reorganization and the Chapter 11 proceedings. The Company expects these direct costs, which are being expensed as incurred, will significantly affect its results of operations.

In addition, a non-cash charge to write-off the unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums related to the Company’s funded indebtedness are included in “Reorganization items, net” as these debt instruments are expected to be impacted by the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. For additional information about the costs of the Company’s reorganization and Chapter 11 proceedings, see “Reorganization items, net” below.

The following table summarizes the components included in “Reorganization items, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020:

DIP Credit Agreement. In connection with the RSA and the Chapter 11 Cases, Ultra Resources entered into a senior secured super priority debtor-in-possession credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), dated as of May 19, 2020, among Ultra Resources, as borrower, UPE and the other Filing Subsidiaries, as guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association (“WTNA”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a multi-draw term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million (the “DIP Facility”). Ultra intends to use proceeds of the DIP Facility, among other things: (1) to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses related to the loans thereunder, (2) to pay the fees, costs and expenses of the estate professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases and approved by the Court, (3) to pay certain fees, costs, disbursements and expenses of the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement, (4) to make all permitted payments of costs of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, (5) to pay such pre-petition expenses as are consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and approved by the Court, (6) to satisfy any adequate protection obligations owing under the DIP Orders (as defined in the RSA); and (7) for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases.

The DIP Facility is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other covenants the Company believes to be customary in debtor-in-possession financings, continuing reporting obligations by the Company on a consolidated basis in the form of a rolling 13-week budget and a weekly report with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all material variances from the budget.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement with WTNA as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP First Amendment”). The DIP First Amendment modified the DIP Credit Agreement by, among other items, (i) removing change of control cross-triggers upon acceleration of other Material Debt (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), (ii) including a carve-out to Material Adverse Effects (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) based upon the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, (iii) including carve-outs to certain covenants and events of default in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iv) including a carve-out to events of default based on the termination of the RSA in connection with a Noteholder Termination Event or a Termination Event (each as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).

Liabilities Subject to Compromise. The Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements presented herein include amounts classified as “Liabilities subject to compromise.” This amount represents estimates of known or potential pre-petition claims expected to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings. Additional amounts may be included in liabilities subject to compromise in future periods if the Company elects to reject executory contracts and unexpired leases as part of the Chapter 11 Cases. Due to the uncertain nature of many of the potential claims, the magnitude of potential claims is not reasonably estimable at this time. Potential claims not currently included with “Liabilities subject to compromise” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets may be material. In addition, differences between amounts reported as “Liabilities subject to compromise” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the amounts attributable to such matters claimed by the Company’s creditors or approved by the Court may be material. The Company will continue to evaluate its liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 process and will plan to make adjustments in future periods as necessary and appropriate. Such adjustments may be material.

executory contract or unexpired lease agreement, the Company is generally required to cure any existing monetary defaults under such contract or lease agreement and provide adequate assurance of future performance to the counterparty. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including any quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such contract or lease agreement, is wholly qualified by the rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease agreement and the Company expressly preserves all of its rights with respect thereto.

The following table summarizes the components of “Liabilities subject to compromise” included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020:

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings. The Company has significant pre-petition indebtedness, all of which has been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s level of pre-petition indebtedness has adversely impacted and is continuing to adversely impact its financial condition. As a result of the Company’s financial condition, the defaults under its debt agreements, the expected liquidity deficiency had the Company not filed for bankruptcy, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 proceedings, substantial doubt exists as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern..

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) on a going concern basis for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet atas of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s ~~annual report~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019 (as amended, the “2019 Form 10-K”).

Significant Accounting Policies: The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies, in the ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K and are supplemented by the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K. ~~Refer to Note 11, Leases, for the updated policies related to the implementation of ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Reorganization Accounting: Effective May 14, 2020, as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company began accounting and reporting according to ASC Topic 852 – Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. These requirements include distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~("FASB"~~(“FASB”) or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ~~Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")~~ASC are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update ~~("ASU"~~(“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that ~~the impact of~~ recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

~~Leases.~~ ~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~, and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASUs (collectively known as ��ASC 842”). The guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASC 842 also requires disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative information. The Company adopted ASC 842 and applicable amendments on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected certain practical expedients and established internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption.

The adoption of the standard had an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets but did not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated income statements. The most significant impact was the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Please refer to Note 11 for additional discussion.

~~The following table reflects the cumulative impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach:~~

~~Fair Value Measurements.~~ ~~In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,~~ ~~Fair Value Measurements~~ (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. ASU 2018-13 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments. In June 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial ~~Instruments—~~Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("(“ASU ~~2016-13"~~2016-13”). This ASU changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for ~~fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods~~the Company starting January 1, 2023. ~~within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.~~ The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another rate that is expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 will be in effect through December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 on our consolidated financial statements.

Sales of oil and natural gas are recognized at the point ~~control~~when title and custody (collectively, “control”) of the product is transferred to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured, and the performance obligations are satisfied. Virtually all of our contracts’ pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering line or a transmission line, the quality of the oil or natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions. As a result, the price ~~of the~~we receive for our produced oil and natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available oil and natural gas supplies.

We sell natural gas production at the tailgate of the processing plant or at a delivery point downstream, as specified in the contracts with our customers. The production is sold at set volumes and we collect either (i) an agreed upon index price, (ii) a specific index price adjusted for pricing differentials, or (iii) a set price. We recognize revenue at the net price received when control transfers to the purchaser at the tailgate of the processing plant or at the agreed-upon delivery ~~point at the net price received.~~point. For these contracts, we have concluded that the Company is the principal for our net revenue interest share of the volumes being sold. Gathering fees are incurred prior to the customer taking control of the product, are not considered to be promised services, and are not included in the transaction price; thus, they are presented as expenses in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statement~~condensed consolidated statement of ~~Operations.~~operations.

Our working interest partners are considered the principal for their working interest shares. They have the option to take their gas volumes in ~~kind their volumes.~~kind. The Company may act as an agent and market the other partners’ share of the natural gas ~~production.~~production from wells we operate. If it does so, the Company is considered the agent and revenue is recorded at the Company’s net revenue interest in the production.

We sell oil production at either (a) a lease automatic custody transfer meter, (b) a tank battery, or (c) a delivery point downstream, as specified in the contracts with our customers. The production is sold at set volumes and we collect either (i) an agreed upon index price, ~~net of~~(ii) a specific index price adjusted for pricing differentials, or ~~(ii)~~(iii) a set price. We recognize revenue at the point when the customer takes control of the product. For these contracts, we have concluded that the Company is the principal for its net revenue interest share of the volumes being sold. Gathering fees are performed prior to the customer taking control of the product, are not considered to be promised services, and are not included in the transaction price; thus, they are presented as expenses in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statement~~condensed consolidated statement of ~~Operations.~~operations.

The Company ~~may act~~serves as an agent and ~~market~~markets the other partners’ share of ~~the~~almost all oil ~~production. If it does so,~~production from wells we operate. In these situations, the Company is considered the agent and revenue is recorded at the Company’s net revenue interest in the production.

Our other revenue is comprised of fees paid to us by the operators of the gas processing plants where our gas is processed. Control is transferred upon completion of the processing service. The Company is considered the principal, and revenue is recognized at the point in time that the control is transferred.

A significant number of our product sales are short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less at index-based prices. For those contracts, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

For our product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, we have utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) which states that the Company is not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Under our product sales contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606.

We record revenue in the month ~~production~~when control is ~~delivered~~transferred to the ~~purchaser.~~purchaser and all contractual obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements for certain natural gas sales may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is ~~delivered, and as a result,~~delivered. Consequently, we are required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. We record the differences between our estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. We have existing internal controls for our revenue estimation process and related accruals, and any identified differences between our revenue estimates and actual revenue received historically have ~~not~~ been ~~significant.~~insignificant. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

The following table summarizes the major ~~classes~~components of ~~inventory~~“Other current assets” included on the ~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:~~

Total inventory	$	17,058	$	18,757
Total Other current assets					$	9,402	$	10,746

9The Company recorded a write-down of pipe and production inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value during 2020. The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost, including the cost of transportation and storage, and with net realizable value defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of transportation. Accordingly, the Company recorded a write-down of pipe and production equipment of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The non-cash expense is reported as “Other operating expenses” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas exploration and development activities, and it is required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a country-by-country basis, utilizing the average of prices in effect on the first day of the month for the preceding twelve-month period in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8995. The ceiling limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties, less any associated tax effects. If such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will record a write-down to the extent of such excess as a non-cash charge to earnings.

In order to fulfill the obligation to evaluate the full cost ceiling and to calculate DD&A of its oil and gas properties, the Company is required to estimate its reserves on a quarterly basis. The estimated proven oil and gas reserves considers the estimated future production based on the most current well information available.

As a result of the decreases in remaining quantities of oil and gas reserves associated with quarterly production, as well as the discounted future cash flow estimates driven by further effects of decreases to the required prices utilized in the preparation of the reserves, the Company recorded a non-cash write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties from the ceiling test limitation in the amount of $110.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. A write-down was also recorded in the first quarter of 2020, as described in the quarterly report filed on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The total non-cash write-down of the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $353.2 million. Given continued depressed commodity prices, there is a reasonable possibility that the value of the reserves will be further reduced in future quarters, requiring an additional ceiling test write-down.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to common ~~stockholders~~shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by adjusting the average number of common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect.

Certain share-based payments subject to ~~performance or~~ market conditions are considered contingently issuable shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share. Thus, they are ~~not included in~~excluded from the diluted earnings per share denominator until the ~~performance or~~ market ~~criteria~~conditions are met. Additionally, warrants are ~~not included in~~excluded from the diluted earnings per share denominator ~~using the treasury stock method~~ until the date on which the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares is at least $2.50 per Common Share for 30 consecutive trading days ~~(the “Trading Price Condition”)~~. For further information on the warrants, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.

The Company also had $10.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. These amounts remain subject to settlement under the terms of the RSA. As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is no longer in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and ~~with total~~the lenders’ previous commitments of ~~$325.0 million.~~$100 million under the Credit Agreement have been terminated. The ~~next scheduled borrowing base redetermination~~Company is ~~scheduled for October 1, 2019.~~therefore unable to make additional borrowings or issue additional letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest either at a rate equal to (a) a customary London interbank offered rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 250 to 350 basis points or (b) the base rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 150 to 250 basis ~~points.~~points based upon the borrowing base utilization grid. The applicable margin increases by 25 basis points in the event the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined, exceeds 4.00 to 1.00. Ultra Resources is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility ~~which varies based upon a borrowing base utilization grid.~~of 50 basis points. Ultra Resources is also required to pay customary letter of credit and fronting fees. The Revolving Credit ~~Facility loans mature on~~Facility’s original maturity date is January 12, ~~2022.~~

The2022; however, if the Plan is confirmed the Revolving Credit Facility ~~requires Ultra Resources~~will terminate in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.

The Credit Agreement established a maximum capital expenditure provision and other affirmative and negative covenants which are no longer applicable under the mandatory stay order effected by the Chapter 11 filing.

Other provisions of the Credit Agreement have been disclosed in previous regulatory filings and have been deleted from this filing as the compliance elements of the Credit Agreement have been stayed by the bankruptcy filing under the Chapter 11 Cases.

Refer to ~~maintain (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00; (ii) a current ratio, including~~Note 6 – Debt in the ~~unused portion~~2019 Form 10-K for additional details on the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, of a minimum of 1.00 to 1.00; and (iii) after the Company has obtained investment grade rating an asset coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00.

2017 Stock Incentive Plan. In April 2017, the Ultra Petroleum Corp. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“2017 Stock Incentive Plan”) was established by our board of directors (the “Board”) pursuant to which 7.5% of the equity in the Company (on a fully-diluted/fully-distributed basis) is reserved for grants to be made from time to time to the directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company (the “Reserve”). During 2017, management incentive plan grants (the “Initial MIP Grants”) were made to members of the Board, officers, and other employees of the Company subject to the conditions and performance requirements provided in the grants, including the limitations that one-third of the Initial MIP Grants will vest, if at all, at such time when the total enterprise value of the Company equals or exceeds $6.0 billion based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock during a consecutive 30-day period, that one-third of the Initial MIP Grants will vest, if at all, at such time when the total enterprise value of the Company equals or exceeds 110% or $6.6 billion based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock during a consecutive 30-day period, and, that if any Initial MIP Grants do not vest before April 12, 2023, such Initial MIP Grants shall automatically expire. The balance of the Reserve is available to be granted by the Board from time to time.

In June 2018, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the Ultra Petroleum Corp. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “A&R Stock Incentive Plan”). The A&R Stock Incentive Plan amends and restatesCompany. Detailed historical activity associated with the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan ~~to, among other things:~~

In July 2018, the Company modified its incentive plan and recipients of the Initial MIP Grants were offered an opportunity to exchange the unvested portion of their Initial MIP Grants for new equity awards of time-based restricted stock units (the “2018 RSUs”) effective July 31, 2018 on a one-for-one basis. All 2018 RSUs are time-based awards and vestperiod being presented in equal tranches on May 25, 2019, May 25, 2020, and May 25, 2021. Under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Cost – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the cancellation of an outstanding award of stock-based compensation followed by the issuance of a replacement awardthis report is treated as a modification of the original award. The equity award cancellations and subsequent new grants by the Company were considered Type I, probable-to-probable modification in 2018. This type represents modifications where the award was likely to vest prior to modification and is still likely to vest after modification. For these types of modifications, the fair value of the award is assessed both prior to modification and after modification. If the fair value after modification exceeds the fair value prior to modification, incremental expense is generated and recognized over the remaining vesting period.described below.

In March 2019, ~~additional Initial MIP Grants~~management incentive grants were exchanged for new equity awards of time-based and performance-based restricted stock units. The Company evaluated the cancellation of an outstanding award of stock-based compensation followed by the issuance of a replacement award under ASC 718. For this modification, the fair value of the award is assessed both prior to modification and after modification. Per ASC 718, if the fair value after modification exceeds the fair value prior to modification, incremental expense is generated and recognized over the remaining vesting period.

Long Term Incentive Awards. In 2018 and March 2019, the Board approved long-term incentive awards under the ~~A&R~~2017 Stock Incentive Plan in order to further align the interests of key employees with shareholders and to give key employees the opportunity to share in the long-term performance of the Company when specific corporate financial and operational goals are achieved. The awards cover a performance period of three years and include time-based and performance-based measures established by the Board at the beginning of the three-year period.

Market-Based Condition Awards. When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent, at least in part, on the value of a company’s total equity, for purposes of ~~FASB~~ ASC 718, the award is considered to be subject to a “market condition”. Because the Company’s total equity value is a component of its enterprise value, the awards based on enterprise value are considered to be subject to a market condition. Unlike the valuation of an award that is subject to a service condition (i.e., time vested awards) or a performance condition that is not related to stock price, ~~FASB~~ ASC 718 requires the impact of the market condition to be considered when

estimating the fair value of the award. As a result, we have used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the awards that include a market condition.

~~FASB~~ ASC 718 requires the expense for an award of stock-based compensation that is subject to a market condition that can be attained at any point during the performance period to be recognized over the shorter of (a) the period between the date of grant and the date the market condition is attained, and (b) the award’s derived service period. For purposes of ~~FASB~~ ASC 718, the derived service period represents the duration of the median of the distribution of share price paths on which the market condition is satisfied. That median is the middle share price path (the midpoint of the distribution of paths within the model) on which the market condition is satisfied. The duration is the period of time from the service inception date to the expected date of market condition satisfaction. Compensation expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is actually satisfied.

Expense. The accounting for existing share-based compensation awards will continue throughout the period covered by the Chapter 11 Cases. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $1.7 million in pre-tax compensation expense, which is included within “General and administrative expenses” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $1.5 million in pre-tax compensation expense, which is included within General and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $10.1 million in pre-tax compensation expense, of which $10.0 million related to the Initial MIP Grants. expense.

The Company’s overall effective tax rate on pre-tax income was different than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the adjustment of the valuation ~~allowances.~~allowances against the deferred tax assets.

The Company has a valuation allowance recorded against all deferred tax assets, net as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. Some or all of this valuation allowance may be reversed in future periods against future income.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. Further guidance and clarifications continue to be issued regarding the regulations and provisions of the Tax Act. The Company will continue to monitor these new regulations and analyze their applicability and impact on the Company.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company continues to examine the impact that the CARES Act may have on its business but does not expect the impact to be material.

As a result of the Company’s bankruptcy and planned reorganization, the ultimate realization of the Company’s net operating losses and tax basis is uncertain. Our tax attributes may be reduced and/or subject to annual utilization limits depending on several factors including ownership changes and other factors. A significant portion of the Company’s net operating losses may be offset by tax gains or cancellation of debt.

Objectives and Strategy: The Company’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its natural gas and oil production. Realized pricing is currently driven primarily by the prevailing price for the Company’s natural gas production. Historically, prices received for natural gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected to continue. The prices we receive for our production depend on many factors outside of our control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable index price.

The Company relies on various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk and to provide a level of certainty in the Company’s forward cash flows supporting the Company’s operations and capital investment program. These types of instruments may include fixed price swaps, costless collars, deferred premium puts or basis differential swaps. These contracts are financial instruments, and do not require or allow for physical delivery of the hedged commodity. While mitigating the effects of fluctuating commodity prices, these derivative contracts may limit the benefits we would receive from increases in commodity prices above the fixed hedge prices.

~~Under the Revolving Credit Facility,~~The Company voluntarily liquidated its outstanding derivative contracts prior to its filing for bankruptcy. The total proceeds collected by the Company ~~is subject to~~was $12.8 million in early May 2020.

During the ~~following minimum hedging requirements: through September 29, 2019,~~post-petition period of the bankruptcy, the Company ~~is required~~entered into new derivative contracts, as allowed by the DIP Facility. Such contracts will stay in place following emergence from bankruptcy.

As a result of the Chapter 11 filing and while in bankruptcy, the terms of the DIP Facility limits the Company’s ability to ~~hedge~~enter into hedges for no more than 25% and 12.5% of its projected monthly proved developed oil and gas reserve projections in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, the terms of the exit revolving credit facility will require the Company to have a rolling hedging requirement, based on the most recently delivered reserve report, of 33% of forecast natural gas production for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, plus a minimum of ~~65%~~25% of ~~the quarterly projected volumes of~~forecast natural gas ~~from its PDP reserves; and during~~production for the immediate succeeding six-month period beginning on September 30, 2019 and ending on March 30, 2020, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 50% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from PDP reserves. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company will no longer be subject to a minimum hedging requirement.thereafter.

Fair Value of Commodity Derivatives: The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments. Instead, in accordance with ASC 815 the derivative contracts are recorded at fair value as derivative assets and liabilities on the ~~Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets~~condensed consolidated balance sheets and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current income or expense on the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~condensed consolidated statements of ~~Operations.~~operations. The Company does not offset the value of its derivative arrangements with the same counterparty. Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives represent the non-cash change in the fair value of these derivative instruments and do not impact operating cash flows on the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~condensed consolidated statements of ~~Cash Flows~~cash flows.

Commodity Derivative Contracts: AtAs of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had ~~the following~~ open commodity derivative contracts to manage commodity price ~~risks.~~risks as presented in the table below. For the fixed price swaps, the Company receives the fixed price for the contract and pays the variable price to the counterparty. For the basis swaps, the Company receives a fixed price for the difference between two sales points for a specified commodity volume over a specified time period. For the collars, the Company pays the counterparty if the market price is above the ceiling price and the counterparty pays if the market price is below the floor price on a notional quantity. For deferred premium puts, the Company pays the deferred premium in the month of settlement. To the extent the market price is below the put price, the counterparty owes the Company the difference between the market price and put price in the period of settlement. The reference prices of these commodity derivative contracts are typically referenced to index prices as published by independent third parties. Refer to Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements for more information regarding the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments.

As required by ~~FASB~~ ASC 820, the Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a three-level hierarchy for measuring fair value. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

The valuation assumptions the Company has used to measure the fair value of its commodity derivatives were observable inputs based on market data obtained from independent sources and are considered Level 2 inputs (quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs).

The following table is a listing of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets and where they are classified withing the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020:

The Company entered into commodity derivative contracts and as a result, we expose ourselves to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk is the potential failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of a derivative contract. In order to minimize our credit risk in derivative instruments, we (i) enter into derivative contracts with counterparties that our management has deemed credit worthy as competent and competitive market makers and (ii) routinely monitor and review the credit of our counterparties. ~~In addition, each of our current counterparties are lenders under our Revolving Credit Facility.~~ We believe that all of our counterparties are of substantial credit quality. ~~Other than as provided in our Revolving Credit Facility, we~~We are not required to provide credit support or collateral to any of our counterparties under our derivative contracts, nor are they required to provide credit support to us. While we are in bankruptcy, the counterparties share super-priority and are subject to International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) master agreements. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we did not have any past-due receivables from, or payables to, any of the counterparties of our derivative contracts. Refer to Note 9 – Derivate Financial Instruments for additional details on our derivative financial instruments.

The Company uses fair value to determine the value of its asset retirement obligations. The inputs used to determine such fair value under the expected present value technique are primarily based upon internal estimates prepared by reservoir engineers for costs of dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with the Company’s oil and gas properties and would be classified Level 3 inputs.

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is the estimated amount at which the instrument could be exchanged currently between willing parties. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of floating-rate debt approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The Company uses available market data and valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of its debt and the fair values presented in the tables below reflect original maturity dates for each of the debt instruments. The valuation assumptions utilized to measure the fair value of the Company’s debt are considered Level 2 inputs. This disclosure is

presented in accordance with ~~FASB~~ ASC ~~Topic~~ 825, Financial Instruments, and does not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~The Company adopted ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~, and all applicable amendments as of January 1, 2019. The Company elected to apply the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Consequently, historical financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will be provided only for periods beginning January 1, 2019.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in long-term right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, and long-term lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use of an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The ROU assets are tested for impairment in accordance with ASC 360.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component under the practical expedient provisions of the standard. Additionally, for certain leases, the Company applies a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities. The portfolio approach was used to assess and determine the incremental borrowing rate with information available at adoption date.

The Company has lease agreements with terms less than one year. For the qualifying short-term leases, the Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption in which the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, including the ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in upon adoption.

As of the adoption date, the Company had existing lease agreements with easements in which the Company elected the practical expedient. All new and modified lease agreements with easements completed after the adoption date will be evaluated under the ASC 842.

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, drilling rigs, the Company’s liquids gathering system, and certain equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one year to nine years. The Company does not include renewal options in the lease term for calculating the lease liability unless it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option.

On May 14, 2020, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases seeking relief under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company expects to continue operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed all of the proceedings and actions against the Company (other than regulatory enforcement matters), including those noted below. For more information on the Chapter 11 Cases and related matters, refer to the Introductory Note – Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 and Note 6 – Debt.

On April 29, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under ~~chapter 11 of title~~Chapter 11 of the U.S. Code in the ~~U.S.~~United States Bankruptcy ~~Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”).~~Court. Our ~~chapter~~2016 Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption In re Ultra Petroleum Corp., et al, Case No. 16-32202 (MI) (Bankr. S.D. Tex.) (the “Prior Chapter 11 Cases”). On March 14, 2017, the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court confirmed our Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the ~~“Plan”~~“Prior Plan”) and on April 12, 2017, we emerged from bankruptcy.

The Prior Plan ~~provides~~provided for the treatment of claims against our bankruptcy estates, including claims for ~~prepetition~~pre-petition liabilities that have not otherwise been satisfied or addressed before we emerged from ~~chapter~~Chapter 11 proceedings. The claims resolution process associated with our ~~chapter~~Prior Chapter 11 ~~proceedings~~Cases is on-going, and we expect it to continue for an indefinite period of time.

~~Our chapter 11 filings constituted events of default under Ultra Resources’ prepetition debt agreements.~~ During our previous bankruptcy proceedings in 2016 and 2017, many holders of ~~this~~ indebtedness filed proofs of claim with the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court, asserting claims for the outstanding balance of the indebtedness, unpaid ~~prepetition~~pre-petition interest, unpaid ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest (including interest at the default rates under the ~~prepetition~~pre-petition debt agreements), make-whole amounts, and other fees and obligations allegedly arising under the ~~prepetition~~pre-petition debt agreements. As previously disclosed, in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with the Prior Plan, all of our obligations with respect to Ultra Resources ~~prepetition~~pre-petition indebtedness and the associated debt agreements were cancelled, except to the limited extent expressly set forth in the Prior Plan, and the holders of claims related to the indebtedness received payment in full of allowed claims (including with respect to outstanding principal, unpaid ~~prepetition~~pre-petition interest, and certain other ~~prepetition~~pre-petition fees and obligations arising under the debt agreements). In connection with the confirmation and consummation of the Prior Plan, we entered into a stipulation with the claimants pursuant to which we agreed to establish and fund a $400.0 million reserve account after the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, pending resolution of make-whole and ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest claims. On April 14, 2017, we funded the account. Following our emergence from bankruptcy, we continued to dispute the claims made by holders of the Ultra Resources’ indebtedness for certain make-whole amounts and ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest at the default rates provided for in the debt agreements.

On September 22, 2017, the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court denied the Company’s objection to the pending make-whole and ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest claims. On October 6, 2017, the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court entered an order requiring the Company to distribute amounts attributable to the disputed claims to the applicable parties. Pursuant to the order, on October 12, 2017, the Company distributed $399.0 million from the reserve fund to the parties asserting the make-whole and ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest claims and $1.3 million (the balance remaining after distributions to the parties asserting claims) was returned to the Company. The disbursement of $399.0 million was comprised of $223.8 million representing the fees owed under the make-whole claims and $175.2 million representing ~~postpetition~~post-petition interest at the default rate. The Company appealed the court order denying its objections to these claims to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (the “Appellate Court”).

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company entered into settlement agreements (collectively, the “Settlement Agreements”) with holders of certain claims related to Ultra Resources’ ~~prepetition~~pre-petition indebtedness (the “Claimants”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle the pending disputes between the Claimants and the Company. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreements, the Claimants collectively agreed to pay approximately $16.4 million to the Company.

On January 17, 2019, the Appellate Court issued an opinion vacating the order of the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court ~~denying~~that had denied the Company’s objection to the asserted make-whole and post-petition interest claims and remanding the matter and those determinations to the ~~Bankruptcy~~ Court for further reconsideration. ~~As of June 30, 2019, there were approximately $260 million of claims subject to the Appellate Court decision.~~ On January 31, 2019, the holders of these claims filed a petition for rehearing en banc. It is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters at this time.

On April 19, 2016, the Company received a preliminary determination notice from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Natural Resources Revenue (“ONRR”) asserting that the Company’s allocation of certain processing costs and plant fuel use at certain processing plants were impermissibly charged as deductions in the determination of royalties owed under federal oil and gas leases. ONRR also filed a proof of claim in our bankruptcy proceedings asserting approximately $35.1 million in claims related to these matters. We disputed the preliminary determination and the proof of claim. In AugustDuring 2019, the Company entered into additional settlement agreements with holders of certain make-whole and ~~ONRR~~post-petition interest claims. Pursuant to these settlements, the parties agreed ~~in principle~~ to ~~a resolution agreement whereby~~settle the pending disputes between such holders and the Company, and the holders collectively agreed to pay ~~$12.4~~approximately $13.5 million ~~through installment payments over 60 months, with interest accruing at~~to the ~~applicable federal rate and payable with the final installment payment. This obligation has been recorded to Other operating expense, net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations as~~Company. As of June 30, ~~2019, and~~2020, there is approximately $240 million of claims subject to the ~~first installment payments~~Appellate Court decision. It is ~~due in September 2019. Both~~not possible to determine the ~~Company and ONRR will issue full releases in connection with the audit period. The releases will not be an admission~~ultimate disposition of ~~liability as to any of the~~these matters ~~settled.~~at this time.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company settled and funded a dispute related to a net profits interest in certain of its operated leases in the Pinedale field. This settlement resulted in a payment of $3.5 million. The Company had previously accrued for this item; therefore, no additional expense was recognized during the quarter. Additionally, the Company agreed in principle the settlement of a separate overriding royalty interest dispute and has recognized an expense of $1.5 million as an estimate of the historical claims.

We are also party to various disputes with respect to certain overriding royalty and net profits interests in certain of our operated leases in the Pinedale field. At this time, no determination of the outcome of these claims can be made, and we cannot reasonably estimate the potential impact of these claims. We are defending these cases vigorously, and we expect these claims to be resolved in our ~~chapter~~Chapter 11 proceedings. In addition, we are currently involved in various routine disputes and allegations incidental to our business operations. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters, we believe the Company has adequately reserved for such items where it has been determined that a liability is probable and is reasonably estimable. Additionally, we believe that resolution of all such additional pending or threatened litigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, or results of ~~operations.~~operations, or cash flows.

The Company has evaluated the period subsequent to June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, for material events that did not exist at the balance sheet date but arose after that date and determined that no additional subsequent events arose that should be disclosed in order to keep the financial statements from being misleading, except as ~~set forth below:~~

~~As previously~~otherwise disclosed on January 17, 2019, the Appellate Court issued an opinion vacating the order of the Bankruptcy Court denying the Company’s objection to the asserted make-whole and post-petition interest claims and remanding the matter and those determinations to the Bankruptcy Court for further reconsideration. On January 31, 2019, the holders of these claims filed a petition for rehearing en banc.

As previously disclosed, the Company had settled certain claims in 2018 and in the first quarter 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $260 million of claims still outstanding. During and subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into additional settlement agreements with holders of certain make-whole and post-petition interest claims. Pursuant to these settlements, the parties agreed to settle the pending disputes between such holders and the Company, and the holders collectively agreed to pay approximately $13.5 million to the Company. As of August 8, 2019, there is approximately $240 million of claims subject to the Appellate Court decision. It is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters at this time.herein.

~~Ultra Petroleum Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”, “Ultra”, “our”, “we”, “us”)~~The Company is an independent exploration and production company focused on developing and producing its long-life natural gas reserves in the Pinedale and Jonah fields of the Green River Basin of southwest Wyoming. The Company operates in one industry segment, natural gas and oil exploration and development, with one geographical segment, the United States.

The Company conducts operations exclusively in the United States. Substantially all of its oil and natural gas activities are conducted jointly with others and, accordingly, amounts presented reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities. The Company continues to focus on ~~improving~~disciplined capital allocation decisions, generating operating cash flows, reducing its indebtedness, and preserving future potential pad level drilling inventory for more constructive natural gas prices. The Company’s emphasis on these elements is critically relevant as the natural gas commodity price has eroded over the course of 2019 and ~~production results through gaining efficiencies~~into the second quarter of 2020. Given Ultra’s focus on profitability and generating operating cash flows with the ~~use~~objective of ~~advanced technologies, detailed technical analysis~~meeting its obligations, the Company elected to suspend pad level drilling operations in the third quarter of 2019, as the investment returns were uneconomical in the current commodity price environment. The Company determined it is in the best interest of its ~~properties~~stakeholders to retain core personnel necessary in order to operate its prolific asset base safely, efficiently, and ~~leveraging~~profitably; to ensure necessary regulatory and environmental compliance; to continue to fulfill its ~~experience. Inflation has not had, nor is it expected~~obligations as a public reporting company; to ~~have~~continue to dedicate appropriate resources to studying the underlying geologic and subsurface in order to maximize the ~~foreseeable future,~~value of the Pinedale and Jonah

fields; and to prepare to resume a ~~material impact on~~drilling program with much of the ~~Company’s results of operations or capital investment program.~~historical knowledge and intellectual property developed over many years by Ultra personnel.

The Company currently generates its revenue, earnings and cash flow from the production and sales of natural gas and crude oil and condensate from its Pinedale field.

Total production for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~59.8~~45.5 Bcf of natural gas and ~~449.2~~312.3 MBbl of crude oil and condensate, for a total of ~~62.5~~47.3 Bcfe of production.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On May 14, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Ultra Petroleum Corp. and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Debtors”), filed voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

The ~~production was 0.3 Bcfe higher~~Debtors are currently operating the business as ~~compared~~debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. After the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 petitions, the Court granted certain relief which enabled the Debtors to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, including, among other things and subject to the ~~first quarter~~terms and conditions of ~~2019, as~~such orders, authorizing the ~~drilling program~~Debtors to pay employee wages and benefits, pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, continue to operate their cash management system in the ~~first quarter~~ordinary course, remit funds their holds from time to time for the benefit of third parties (such as royalty owners), and ~~into~~pay the ~~second quarter approximately replaced~~pre-petition claims of certain of its vendors that hold liens under applicable non-bankruptcy law. For goods and services provided following the ~~natural decline from~~Petition Date, the ~~proved producing wells on line~~Debtors intend to pay vendors in full under normal terms.

Subject to certain exceptions provided for in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, all judicial and administrative proceedings against the Debtors or their property were automatically enjoined, or stayed, as of the ~~beginning~~Petition Date. In addition, the filing of new judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors or their property for claims arising prior to the Petition Date were automatically enjoined. This prohibits, for example, the Debtors’ lenders or noteholders from pursuing claims for defaults under the debt agreements and the contract counterparties from pursuing claims for defaults under the Debtors’ contracts. Accordingly, unless the Court agrees to lift the automatic stay, all of the ~~year. The~~Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities and obligations should be settled or compromised under the Bankruptcy Code as part of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with the holders the Credit Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, and Second Lien Notes. Pursuant to the RSA, the Restructuring Support Parties agreed (subject to the terms and conditions of the RSA) to vote to accept the Debtors’ prepackaged Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (as proposed, the “Plan”) described below.

On May 15, 2020, consistent with the RSA, of the Debtors solicited acceptances of and filed with the Court the proposed Plan which, subject to Court approval and the requisite support of the Debtors’ creditors:

On June 26, 2020, the Debtors entered into the First Amendment to the Restructuring Support Agreement with the requisite consenting parties thereto (the “Consenting Stakeholders”) to permit the Debtors to enter into and perform under an agreement to purchase that certain gathering system (the “LGS”) as described under the Company’s lease agreement with Corridor as described below.

On July 27, 2020, the Debtors entered into a backstop purchase agreement (the “Backstop Purchase Agreement”) with certain holders of the Company’s prepetition indebtedness (collectively, the “Backstop Parties”). Pursuant to the Backstop Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Parties agreed to backstop the rights offering contemplated by the Plan for new common stock of reorganized UPE to be issued upon the effectiveness of the Plan for an aggregate purchase price of up to $85.0 million.

Pre-Petition Restructuring Expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020, the Company incurred $9.7 million and $12.4 million of professional, advisory, consulting, and legal fees related to the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the petition date, respectively. These expenses are reported as “Pre-petition restructuring expenses” in “Operating income (loss)” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Costs of Reorganization. Expenses incurred after the petition date are recorded as “Reorganization items, net” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company has incurred and will continue to incur significant direct costs associated with our reorganization and the Chapter 11 proceedings. We expect these direct costs, which are being expensed as incurred, will significantly affect our results of operations.

In addition, a non-cash charge to write-off the unamortized debt issuance costs, discounts and premiums related to our funded indebtedness are included in “Reorganization items, net” as these debt instruments are expected to be impacted by the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. For additional information about the costs of the Company’s reorganization and Chapter 11 proceedings, see “Reorganization items, net” below.

The following table summarizes the components included in Reorganization items, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019, cash flow from operations was $215.1 million.~~ 2020:

~~During~~DIP Credit Agreement. In connection with the ~~second quarter,~~RSA and the Chapter 11 Cases, Ultra Resources entered into a senior secured super priority debtor-in-possession credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), dated as of May 19, 2020, among Ultra Resources, as borrower, UPE and the other Filing Subsidiaries, as guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association (“WTNA”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a multi-draw term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25 million (the “DIP Facility”). Ultra intends to use proceeds of the DIP Facility, among other things: (1) to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses related to the loans thereunder, (2) to pay the fees, costs and expenses of the estate professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases and approved by the Court, (3) to pay certain fees, costs, disbursements and expenses of the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement, (4) to make all permitted payments of costs of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, (5) to pay such pre-petition expenses as are consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and approved by the Court, (6) to satisfy any adequate protection obligations owing under the DIP Orders (as defined in the RSA); and (7) for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases.

The DIP Facility is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other covenants the Company ~~elected~~believes to ~~release~~be customary in debtor-in-possession financings, continuing reporting obligations by the Company, on a ~~drilling rig and reduce its operated rig count~~consolidated basis, in the ~~Pinedale field~~form of a rolling 13-week budget and a weekly report with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all material variances from ~~three~~the budget.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to ~~two. This decision was~~the DIP Credit Agreement with WTNA as administrative agent and the other lenders party thereto (the “DIP First Amendment”). The DIP First Amendment modified the DIP Credit Agreement by, among other items, (i) removing change of control cross-triggers upon acceleration of other Material Debt (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), (ii) including a carve-out to Material Adverse Effects (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) based upon the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, (iii) including carve-outs to certain covenants and events of default in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iv) including a carve-out to events of default based on the ~~following factors: 1) consideration~~termination of the ~~current pace at which~~RSA in connection with a Noteholder Termination Event or a Termination Event (each as defined in the ~~drilling~~DIP Credit Agreement).

Liabilities Subject to Compromise. The Company has applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations, in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The consolidated financial statements presented herein include amounts classified as “Liabilities subject to compromise.” This amount represents estimates of ~~wells was occurring; 2)~~known or potential pre-petition claims expected to be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings. Additional amounts may be included in liabilities subject to compromise in future periods if the Company ~~participated in the wells at a higher working interest percentage due~~elects to ~~one of its partners electing to non-consent participation in the wells; 3) the overall expected economic returns on the invested capital with the current commodity pricing;~~reject executory contracts and ~~4) the goal~~unexpired leases as part of the ~~Company~~Chapter 11 Cases. Due to ~~generate free cash flow.~~

In the ~~third quarter~~uncertain nature of 2019, the Company has announced plans to further reduce its operated drilling program to a single rig as a result of continued low commodity prices. This will reduce the level of total 2019 capital investment to range of $260 million to $290

~~million, a reduction of approximately $60 million, or 18%, from the midpoint~~many of the potential claims, the magnitude of potential claims is not reasonably estimable at this time. Potential claims not currently included with “Liabilities subject to compromise” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets may be material. In addition, differences between amounts reported as “Liabilities subject to compromise” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the amounts attributable to such matters claimed by the Company’s ~~initial 2019 capital investment guidance.~~creditors or approved by the Court may be material. The Company will continue to evaluate its liabilities throughout the ~~commodity price environment~~Chapter 11 process and will plan to make adjustments in future periods as necessary and appropriate. Such adjustments may be material.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume, assign, or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases agreements for future services, subject to the approval of the Court and certain other conditions. If the Company rejects a contract or lease agreement, such rejection generally (1) is treated as a pre-petition breach of the contract or lease agreement, (2) subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such contract or lease agreement, and (3) entitles the counterparty thereto to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. If the Company assumes an executory contract or unexpired lease agreement, the Company is generally required to cure any existing monetary defaults under such contract or lease agreement and provide adequate assurance of future performance to the counterparty. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including any quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such contract or lease agreement, is wholly qualified by the rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, nothing herein is or shall be deemed an admission with respect to any claim amounts or calculations arising from the rejection of any executory contract or unexpired lease agreement and the ~~projected investment returns,~~Company expressly preserves all of its rights with respect thereto.

The following table summarizes the components of “Liabilities subject to compromise” included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as ~~it manages~~of June 30, 2020:

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings. The Company has significant pre-petition indebtedness, all of which has been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s level of pre-petition indebtedness has adversely impacted and is continuing to adversely impact its ~~capital investment program.~~financial condition. As a result of the Company’s financial condition, the defaults under its debt agreements, the expected liquidity deficiency had the Company not filed for bankruptcy, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 proceedings, substantial doubt exists that the Company as to whether the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

For more information on the Chapter 11 Cases and related matters, refer to the Introductory Note – Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Note 6 – Debt in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The prices of oil and natural gas are critical factors to the Company’s business. ~~The~~Commodity prices ofhave been significantly volatile for several years, and beginning in March 2020, oil and natural gas commodity prices have ~~historically been volatile,~~experienced extreme volatility primarily attributable to decreased demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and ~~this volatility could be detrimental~~ to the ~~Company’s financial performance. As a result,~~actions of OPEC and OPEC+ to cut the price for crude oil. These events have adversely affected commodity prices and have increased the level of uncertainty regarding future price realizations.

The Company utilizes derivative commodity contracts from ~~time to time, the Company tries~~time-to-time in order to limit the impact of this commodity price volatility on its ~~results by entering into derivative commodity contracts through the use of swap agreements, costless collars, and/or deferred premium puts. The Company also enters into short-term~~results. In addition to fixed price ~~forward physical delivery~~swap contracts, ~~for natural gas and oil from time-to-time.~~ ~~Under~~ the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to the following minimum hedging requirements: through September 29, 2019, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 65% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from its PDP reserves; and during the period beginning on September 30, 2019 and ending on March 30, 2020, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 50% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from PDP reserves. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company will no longer be subject to a minimum hedging requirement. ~~The~~ Company utilizes costless collars and deferred put contracts, with low premium costs, to provide a degree of floor price protection and allow the Company to participate in more upward price exposure. In early May 2020 and prior to filing for bankruptcy, the Company liquidated all of its outstanding derivative contracts for total proceeds of approximately $12.8 million. The Company, on a limited basis and for terms of less than one month, also entered into short-term fixed price forward physical delivery contracts for natural gas and oil from time-to-time. While in bankruptcy, the terms of the DIP Facility limits the Company’s ability to enter into hedges for no more than 25% and 12.5% of its projected proved developed reserve projections in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Following the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy, the terms of the exit revolving credit facility will require the Company to have a rolling hedging requirement, based on the most recently delivered reserve report, of 33% of forecast production for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, plus a minimum of 25% of forecast production for the immediate succeeding six-month period thereafter.

On a per unit basis, the average realized prices for the Company in the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, ~~and 2018,~~ was ~~$2.45~~$2.26 per Mcfe and ~~$2.60~~$2.51 per Mcfe, respectively. Included in the net realized prices for 2020 is an improved price premium above index pricing resulting from the renegotiation of certain marketing agreements as well as the proceeds it received when the Company voluntarily liquidated its outstanding derivative contracts prior to its filing for bankruptcy.

The average price realization for the Company’s natural gas during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$2.17~~$1.95 per Mcf, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, compared to ~~$2.28~~$2.17 per Mcf during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The average price realization for the Company’s natural gas during the ~~each of the quarters~~quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, was $1.60 per Mcf and $2.11 per ~~Mcf.~~Mcf, respectively.

The average price realization for the Company’s crude oil and condensate during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 was ~~$59.65~~$57.50 per barrel, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, compared to ~~$58.24~~$59.65 per barrel during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2018.~~2019. The average price realization for the Company’s crude oil and condensate during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, was ~~$60.80~~$28.26 per barrel, compared to ~~$64.71~~$60.80 per barrel during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

As ~~of June 30, 2019,~~previously announced, the Company suspended its operated ~~two rigs~~pad level drilling program in the Pinedale field ~~with a primary focus of drilling vertical wells. The Company has also participated~~ in ~~wells drilled by other operators in the Pinedale field during this period.~~September 2019. The total capital investment in oil and gas properties ~~was $176.8 million~~ for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During this period, there were 53 gross (52.5 net) vertical wells and 1 gross (0.9 net) horizontal wells, together with 16 gross (5.3 net) vertical wells operated by others that were brought online.

~~The vertical well costs~~2020 was $19.7 million including the purchase of the LGS for $18.0 million as ~~of June 30, 2019 averaged $3.19 million. This stabilization of capital cost from the higher well cost levels in the early~~ part of 2018 was a reflection of more concentrated vertical well operations. This resulted in efficiencies from development on larger drill pads resulting in less rig movement and a higher utilization rate of equipment.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $5.2 million of cash and $59.0 million outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility. The borrowing base under our Revolving Credit Facility is currently $1.3 billion, and lender commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility are $325.0 million based on the borrowing base redetermination completed in February 2019. ~~The next borrowing base redetermination is scheduled for October 1, 2019.~~

The Company’s borrowing base may decrease as a result of lower commodity prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves, lending requirements or regulations, the issuance of new indebtedness, or for various other reasons. A decrease in the Company’s borrowing base due to declines in commodity prices or otherwise, would impact the Company’s ability to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility and could require the Company to pay indebtedness in excess of the redetermined borrowing base. In addition, the Company may be unable to access the equity or debt capital markets, including the market for senior unsecured notes, to meet our obligations, including any such debt repayment obligations.

Moreover, while the Company’s current borrowing base and the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility indicate sufficient liquidity to execute our business plan for the foreseeable future, the amount that we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility is governed by compliance with the consolidated net leverage covenant as discussed in Note 6. A sustained decline in commodity prices could cause the Company to be out of compliance with future consolidated net leverage covenant ratios, which could reduce the Company’s effective liquidity.

Beginning as of January 1, 2019, the Company revised its estimated administrative costs associated with its operations and classified as Lease operating expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During 2018 and 2019, the Company has taken steps to drive efficiencies through its operations which resulted its overhead costs being less than the inflation adjustment to the overhead rates set by the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (“COPAS”). Accordingly, the Company reduced the amount of costs categorized as Lease operating expenses, with General and administrative expenses absorbing a larger portion of the Company’s total administrative costs.

Production. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, total production decreased on a gas equivalent basis to ~~62.5~~47.3 Bcfe compared to ~~70.9~~62.5 Bcfe for the same period in ~~2018. The decrease is~~ 2019, primarily attributable to ~~a decrease~~the Company’s decision to suspend its operated pad level drilling program effective and as announced in ~~capital investment which occurred over~~September 2019. The Company’s production has decreased as expected, based on the ~~second half of 2018 and resulted in lower production in the current period. Additionally, the sale~~natural decline of the ~~non-core assets in Utah during~~proven developed wells that were online as of the ~~third quarter~~end of ~~2018 resulted in a decrease in production on a comparative basis.~~September 2019, and no new wells have come online since that time.

Commodity Prices – Natural Gas. Realized natural gas prices, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, decreased 5%10% to ~~$2.17~~$1.95 per Mcf during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to ~~$2.28~~$2.17 per Mcf for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The Company has entered into various natural gas price commodity derivative contracts with contract periods extending through the fourth quarter of 2020. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsfor additional ~~details relating~~details. As previously noted, the Company voluntarily liquidated its outstanding derivative contracts prior to ~~these derivative contracts.~~its filing for bankruptcy. The total proceeds collected by the Company were $12.8 million in early May 2020, which are included in the realized natural gas prices for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company’s average price for natural gas, excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, was $1.60 per Mcf and $2.11 per ~~Mcf.~~Mcf, respectively.

Commodity Prices – Oil. Realized oil prices, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$59.65~~$57.50 per barrel during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to ~~$58.24~~$59.65 per barrel for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The Company ~~has entered into~~had various oil price commodity derivative contracts ~~with contract periods extending through 2020.~~prior to filing for bankruptcy. See Note 99– Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to these derivative contracts. During the three months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company’s average price for oil, excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, was ~~$60.80~~$28.26 per barrel as compared to ~~$64.71~~$60.80 per barrel for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Revenues. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, revenues decreased to ~~$155.4~~$81.8 million as compared to ~~$190.1~~$155.4 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in total production and the decrease in natural gas and oil prices.

~~Lease Operating Expense.~~The Company has been focused on continued cost management and expects total costs to trend down. However, on a per Mcfe basis, the Company expects pressure on ~~Lease~~lease operating expense (“LOE”) ~~decreased~~and general and administrative expenses (“G&A Expenses”) due to ~~$15.9~~the expected decrease in future production as the Company has suspended its operated pad level drilling program and is susceptible to declining base production from its proved developed producing reserves. Management expects it can mitigate some of this per unit pressure through further cost management and investment initiatives. However, with certain costs being fixed, it is not expected to fully mitigate this pressure.

Lease Operating Expense. LOE slightly increased to $16.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to ~~$23.6~~$15.9 million during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~decrease~~ increase for the period was ~~partially driven by the exclusion of the Utah production and related expenses~~attributable to an increase in ~~2019 which approximated $3.0 million of expense for~~net water handling costs in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The sale of the Utah assets was completed in September 2018. Additionally, beginning in 2019, the Company adjusted the estimate used to determine the overhead rate used for the Company administrative expenses2020 as ~~previously discussed. The decrease in the overhead charged to the LOE was approximately $4.1 million~~ compared to the same period in ~~2018.~~ 2019. On a unit of production basis, LOE costs ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$0.25~~$0.35 per Mcfe during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 as compared with ~~$0.33~~$0.25 per Mcfe during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019 due to the decreased production.

General and Administrative Expenses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, G&A Expenses increased to $8.1 million as compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2019. Due to the suspension of the drilling program in September 2019, the Company reduced its capitalized overhead which is the primary increase in G&A Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. On a per unit basis, G&A Expenses increased to $0.17 per Mcfe for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.12 per Mcfe for the same period in 2019.

The Company analyzes the combined LOE and G&A Expenses as controllable costs. The combined LOE and G&A Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, was $0.52 per Mcfe compared to $0.37 per Mcfe for the same period in 2019. Management also analyzes the combined LOE and G&A Expenses, excluding the non-cash element of stock compensation. The cash component of LOE and G&A Expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $0.51 per Mcfe compared to $0.36 per Mcfe for the same period in 2019, with the changes being driven by the items described above.

Facility Lease Expense. In 2012, the Company sold a system of liquids gathering pipelines and central gathering facilities (the “LGS”) and certain associated real property rights in the Pinedale field. The Company entered into a long-term, triple net lease agreement with the buyer relating to the use of the LGS (the “Lease Agreement”). The Lease Agreement ~~provides~~provided for an initial term of 15 years, and annual base rent of $20.0 million during the initial term (as adjusted annually for changes based on the consumer price index), which base rent may increase if certain volume thresholds are exceeded. For the quarters ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recognized expense associated with the Lease Agreement of $5.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

This lease was listed for rejection through the Plan filed on May 15, 2020. On June 28, 2020, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ultra Wyoming, entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Ultra Wyoming agreed to purchase the LGS for a purchase price of $18.0 million. Effective June 30, 2020, Ultra Wyoming and Corridor closed the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and the Lease Agreement was terminated. The Company has no further obligations associated with this Lease Agreement.

Production Taxes. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, production taxes decreased to ~~$16.4~~$8.0 million compared to ~~$18.9~~$16.4 million during the same period in ~~2018,~~2019, or ~~$0.26~~$0.17 per Mcfe compared to ~~$0.27~~$0.26 per Mcfe, respectively. Production taxes ~~in Wyoming~~ are primarily calculated based on a percentage of revenue from ~~the physical~~ production, ~~and realized revenues, excluding derivative hedge settlements, after certain deductions~~net of gathering fees, in Wyoming and were ~~10.6%~~12.2% of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The decrease in per unit taxes is primarily attributable to decreased natural gas prices during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019 and 9.9% of revenues for~~2020, as compared to the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Gathering Fees. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, gathering fees decreased to ~~$20.3~~$16.1 million compared to ~~$24.2~~$20.3 million during the same period in ~~2018,~~2019, related to decreased production volumes. On a per unit basis, gathering fees ~~decreased slightly~~increased to ~~$0.33~~$0.34 per Mcfe for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to ~~$0.34~~$0.32 per Mcfe in the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Transportation Charges. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, transportation charges increased to $2.2 million, or $0.05 per Mcfe, as compared to $0.1 million, or nil per Mcfe, in the same period in 2019. Commencing on December 1, 2019 and extending for a term expiring December 31, 2026, the Company has committed to firm transportation capacity of 200,000 Dekatherms per day at a rate of approximately $0.37 per Dekatherm on the Rockies Express Pipeline. In exchange for the fixed demand fee, this agreement provides the Company with the opportunity to transport a portion of its natural gas production away from its properties in Wyoming to markets east of the Rockies based delivery points in the southwestern region of Wyoming. The Company has filed a motion to reject this contract as part of the Chapter 11 Case and, as result, the Company has not recorded any further expense associated with REX since the petition date of the bankruptcy.

Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) expense ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$55.8~~$38.8 million compared to ~~$51.7~~$55.8 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in 2019 is primarily attributable to projected capital costs associated with proved undeveloped properties being at a higher cost and, therefore, the depletion rate per unit is greater than the current oil and gas property value per unit, offset slightly by decreased production volumes during the three months ended June 30, 2019. On a unit of production basis, the DD&A rate ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$0.89~~$0.82 per Mcfe for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020, compared to ~~$0.73~~$0.89 per Mcfe for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The primary driver of the rate change on a per unit basis is a result of reduced historical costs associated with the Company’s oil and gas properties as a result of the ceiling test write-down recorded in the first quarter of 2020, as well as the reduced volumes attributable to the June 30, 2020 proved reserves.

Ceiling Test Write-down.~~General~~ In addition to the ceiling test write-down that occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company also recorded a $110.6 million non-cash write-down of the carrying value of its proved oil and ~~Administrative Expenses.~~ ~~During~~natural gas properties as a result of ceiling test limitations during the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The ceiling test was calculated based upon the SEC based reserve preparation as of June 30, 2020. As disclosed in the 2019 ~~general and administrative expenses increased~~Form 10-K, the pricing applied to ~~$7.4 million as compared to $2.1 million~~reserves prepared for SEC presentation are the average of quoted market prices in effect on the first day of the month for the ~~same~~preceding twelve month period for Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate oil, adjusted for market differentials.

Pre-Petition Restructuring Expenses. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $9.7 million in ~~2018. The increase is primarily attributable~~costs and fees in connection with its efforts to restructure its debt prior to filing the ~~revision in estimate of costs attributed to General and administrative expenses and LOE, as previously described. Additionally, the increase is~~Chapter 11 petitions on May 14, 2020.

Other Operating Expenses, net. As a result of ~~increased of legal fees~~a court ruling related to a previous outstanding litigation item, the ~~Company’s unsuccessful offer~~Company adjusted receivables and payables related to ~~exchange Ultra Resources, Inc.’s outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 for new third lien senior secured notes, which was ultimately terminated in July 2019. The change was partially offset by~~ a ~~decrease in share-based compensation~~net profits interest and recorded a related non-cash expense ~~recognized~~of $1.1 million during ~~the quarter. On a per unit basis, general and administrative expenses increased to $0.12 per Mcfe for~~ the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019 compared to $0.03 per Mcfe for the same period in 2018.~~2020.

The Company analyzes the combined LOE and General and administrative expenses as controllable costs. The combined LOE and General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, was $0.37 per Mcfe compared to $0.36 per Mcfe for the same period in 2018. As previously noted, the slight increase in General and administrative expenses associated with the unsuccessful offering of third lien senior secured notes, partially offset by the exclusion of the Utah production and related expenses in 2019. The sale of the Utah assets was completed in September 2018.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to ~~$32.4~~$14.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to ~~$37.7~~$32.4 million during the same period in 2018. Interest expense is comprised of four primary elements: (i) cash interest expense; (ii) PIK interest expense; (iii) amortization of deferred premium; and (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs. The table below reflects2019. In accordance with ASC 852, the ~~comparative amounts in each period presented (in thousands). The cash~~Company did not recognize interest expense and PIK interest increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as a result of the higher interest cost from the Second Lien Notes issued in December 2019. In conjunction with the issuance of the Second Lien Notes, the Company recognized a deferred premium which is amortized over the term of the Second Lien Notes.

~~Deferred Gain on Sale of Liquids Gathering System (“LGS”).~~ During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $2.6 million in deferred gain on the 2012 sale of the LGS and certain associated real property rights. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized the remaining deferred gain as an opening balance sheet adjustmentrelated to ~~Retained loss upon adoption of ASC 842.~~

~~Other Expense~~. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company reached a settlement with the ONRR audit from 2010 through 2012, including an overriding royalty claim. Such amounts have been in dispute priorits pre-petition debt subsequent to the ~~Company’s bankruptcy filing in 2016 and are described in more detail in Note 12.~~

Gain (Loss) on Commodity Derivatives. During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized a ~~gain~~loss of ~~$71.7~~$15.3 million, as compared to a ~~loss~~gain of ~~$47.3~~$71.7 million related to commodity derivatives for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. Of this total, the Company recognized ~~$3.4~~$25.0 million related to a realized gain on commodity derivatives that ~~were~~was settled during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared with ~~$6.7~~$3.4 million related to a realized gain on commodity derivatives during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The realized gain or loss on commodity derivatives relates to actual amounts received or paid under the Company’s derivative contracts. This amount also includes an unrealized ~~gain~~loss of ~~$68.2~~$40.3 million on commodity derivatives during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to an unrealized ~~loss~~gain of ~~$53.9~~$68.2 million during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives represents the non-cash charge attributable to the change in the fair value of these derivative instruments over the remaining term of the contract.

Reorganization Items, Net. Reorganization items, net of $117.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, are comprised of $23.1 million of professional fees, and offset by $140.7 million of a non-cash gain resulting from the net write-off of all unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs totaling related to the debt instruments which are expected to be impacted by the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Pretax Income(Loss). During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized ~~income~~loss before income taxes of ~~$57.0~~$45.8 million compared to a pretax ~~loss~~income of ~~$20.5~~$57.0 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Income Taxes. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. Some or all of this valuation allowance may be reversed in future periods against future income.

Net ~~Income.~~Income (Loss). During the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized net loss of $45.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $57.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, ~~as compared to a net loss of $20.6 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share,~~ for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, ~~2018~~2019

Production. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, total production decreased by ~~13%~~22% on a gas equivalent basis to ~~124.7~~97.8 Bcfe compared to ~~143.2~~124.7 Bcfe for the same period in ~~2018,~~ 2019, primarily attributable to ~~a decrease~~the Company’s decision to suspend its operated pad level drilling program effective and as announced in ~~capital investment which occurred over~~September 2019. The Company’s production has decreased as expected, based on the ~~second half of 2018 and resulted in lower production in the current period. Additionally, the sale~~natural decline of the ~~non-core assets in Utah during~~proven developed wells that were online as of the ~~third quarter~~end of ~~2018 resulted in a relative decrease in production on a comparative basis.~~September 2019, and no new wells have come online since that time.

Commodity Prices – Natural Gas. Realized natural gas prices, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, decreased to ~~$2.47~~$2.28 per Mcf during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to ~~$2.48~~$2.47 per Mcf for the same period in ~~2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the~~2019. The Company has entered into ~~additional~~various natural gas price commodity derivative contracts with contract periods extending through 2020. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statementsfor additional details. As previously noted, the Company voluntarily liquidated its outstanding derivative contracts prior to its filing for bankruptcy. The total proceeds collected by the Company were $12.8 million in early May 2020 and are included in the realized natural gas prices for the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company’s average price for natural gas excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives was ~~$3.12~~$1.99 per Mcf as compared to ~~$2.39~~$3.12 per Mcf for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Commodity Prices – Oil. Realized oil prices, including realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives, increased slightly to ~~$59.62~~$59.71 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to ~~$59.31~~$59.62 per barrel for the same period in ~~2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the~~2019. The Company ~~entered into additional~~had various oil price commodity derivative contracts ~~with contract periods extending through 2020.~~prior to filing for bankruptcy. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company’s average price for oil excluding realized gains and losses on commodity derivatives was ~~$57.30~~$37.92 per barrel as compared to ~~$62.79~~$57.30 per barrel for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Revenues. ~~Increased average natural gas prices, partially offset by decreased production, resulted in revenues increasing to $426.9 million for~~During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 revenues decreased to $211.8 million as compared to ~~$415.5~~$426.9 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in total production and the decrease in natural gas prices.

As previously mentioned, the Company has been focused on continued cost management and expects total costs to trend down. However, on a per Mcfe basis, the Company expects pressure on LOE and G&A Expenses due to the expected decrease in future production as the Company has suspended its operated pad level drilling program and is susceptible to declining base production from its proved developed producing reserves. Management expects it can mitigate some of this per unit pressure through further cost management and investment initiatives. However, with certain costs being fixed, it is not expected to fully mitigate this pressure.

Lease Operating Expense. LOE ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$33.1~~$36.0 million during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$45.4~~$33.1 million during the same period in ~~2018, primarily related~~2019. The increase for the period was attributable to an increase in net water handling costs, as well as an increase in environmental monitoring costs in the first half of 2020 as compared to the ~~exclusion of the Utah production and related expenses~~same period in ~~2019 which approximated $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30,~~ 2019. The sale of the Utah assets was completed in September 2018. Additionally, beginning in 2019, the Company adjusted the estimate used to determine the overhead rate used for the Company administrative expenses as previously discussed. The decrease in the overhead charged to the LOE was approximately $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. On a unit of

production basis, LOE costs ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$0.27~~$0.37 per Mcfe during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$0.32~~$0.27 per Mcfe during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

General and Administrative Expenses. G&A Expenses increased to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $14.5 million for the same period in 2019. Due to the suspension of the drilling program in September 2019, the Company reduced its capitalized overhead which is the primary increase in General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. On a per unit basis, G&A Expenses increased to $0.17 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.12 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the increase in G&A Expenses and a decrease in production volumes.

The Company analyzes the combined LOE and G&A Expenses as controllable costs. The combined LOE and G&A Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $0.54 per Mcfe compared to $0.39 per Mcfe for the same period in 2019. Management also analyzes the combined LOE and G&A Expenses, excluding the non-cash element of stock compensation. The cash component of LOE and G&A Expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $0.52 per Mcfe compared to $0.37 per Mcfe for the same period in 2019, with the changes being driven by the items described above.

Facility Lease Expense. During December 2012, the Company sold the LGS and certain associated real property rights in the Pinedale field and the Company entered into the Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement provides for an initial term of 15 years, and annual rent of $20.0 million during the initial term (as adjusted annually for changes based on the consumer price index) and may increase if certain volume thresholds are exceeded. For the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized operating lease expense associated with the Lease Agreement of ~~$13.2~~$10.9 million, or $0.11 per Mcfe, as compared to ~~$12.7~~$13.2 million, or ~~$0.09~~$0.11 per Mcfe, for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. This decrease was a result of lower liquid production volumes in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

As previously mentioned, this lease was listed for rejection through the Plan filed on May 15, 2020. On June 28, 2020, the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Ultra Wyoming, entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Ultra Wyoming agreed to purchase the LGS for a purchase price of $18.0 million. Effective June 30, 2020, Ultra Wyoming and Corridor closed the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof and the Lease Agreement was terminated. The Company has no further obligations associated with this Lease Agreement.

Production Taxes. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, production taxes were ~~$46.6~~$21.9 million compared to ~~$42.2~~$46.6 million during the same period in ~~2018,~~2019, or ~~$0.37~~$0.22 per Mcfe compared to ~~$0.29~~$0.37 per Mcfe. Production taxes are primarily calculated based on a percentage of revenue from production, net of gathering fees, in Wyoming ~~after certain deductions~~ and were ~~10.9% of revenues~~12.2% for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~10.1%~~12.1% of revenues for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease in per unit taxes is primarily attributable to ~~increased~~decreased natural gas prices during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Gathering Fees. Gathering fees decreased to ~~$40.2~~$32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to ~~$47.2~~$40.1 million during the same period in ~~2018,~~2019, largely related to decreased production. On a per unit basis, gathering fees ~~decreased slightly~~increased to ~~$0.32~~$0.34 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$0.33~~$0.32 per Mcfe for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Transportation Charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, transportation charges were $6.1 million, or $0.06 per Mcfe, as compared to $0.1 million, or nil per Mcfe, in the same period in 2019. As previously mentioned, the transportation charges were a result of the firm transport demand changes on REX Pipeline. The Company has filed a motion to reject this contract as part of the Chapter 11 Case and, as result, the Company has not recorded any further expense associated with REX since the petition date of the bankruptcy.

Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization. DD&A expenses ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$107.4~~$86.1 million during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, from ~~$102.3~~$107.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in 2019 is primarily attributable to projected capital costs associated with proved undeveloped properties being at a higher cost and, therefore, the depletion rate per unit is greater than the current oil and gas property value per unit, offset slightly by decreased production volumes during the six months ended June 30, 2019. On a unit of production basis, the DD&A rate increased to $0.88 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.86 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019 compared to $0.71 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2018.~~

~~General and Administrative Expenses.~~ ~~General and administrative expenses decreased to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 2018.~~2019. The ~~decrease is primarily attributable to the stock incentive compensation expense that was incurred as of June 30, 2018, as part~~primary driver of the Management Incentive Plan. This was partially offset by the change in estimate of costs attributed to General and administrative expenses and LOE, as previously described. Furthermore, during the quarter the Company incurred the legal fees related to the Company’s unsuccessful offer to exchange Ultra Resources, Inc.’s outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2025 for new third lien senior secured notes, which was ultimately terminated in July 2019. On a per unit basis, general and administrative expenses increased to $0.12 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.10 per Mcfe for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company analyzes the combined LOE and General and administrative expenses as controllable costs. The combined LOE and General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $0.39 per Mcfe compared to $0.42 per Mcfe for the same period in 2018. As previously noted, the slight decrease in controllable costsrate increase on a per unit basis is a result of reduced volumes attributable to the ~~exclusion~~June 30, 2020 proved reserves.

Ceiling Test Write-down. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $353.2 million of non-cash write-downs of the ~~Utah production~~carrying value of its proved oil and ~~related expenses~~natural gas properties as a result of ceiling test limitations in ~~2019.~~both the first and second quarters of 2020. The ~~sale~~ceiling test is calculated based upon the SEC based reserve preparation as of each quarter end. Natural gas prices used to calculate the reserves ceiling limitation value decreased 15% in the period from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020 and then further decreased by 8% from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2020. The decrease in natural gas prices described above, as well as the decline oil prices over the second quarter of 2020, negatively affected the overall ceiling value as seen broadly across the upstream oil and gas sector. As disclosed in our 2019 Form 10-K, the prices applied to reserves prepared for SEC presentation are the average of quoted market prices in effect on the first day of the ~~Utah assets was completed~~month for the preceding twelve month period for Henry Hub natural gas and West Texas Intermediate oil, adjusted for market differentials. The Company did not have a write-down related to the full cost ceiling limitation during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Pre-Petition Restructuring Expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $12.4 million in ~~September 2018. This was partially offset by~~costs and fees in connection with its efforts to restructure its debt prior to filing the ~~incremental increase in General~~Chapter 11 petitions on May 14, 2020.

Other Operating Expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred $4.6 million of other operating expenses. Of this amount, $3.3 million related to the non-cash inventory impairment and ~~administrative expenses associated with~~$1.3 million of other recurring and

nonrecurring expenses. During the ~~unsuccessful offering~~six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $16.1 million of ~~third lien senior secured notes.~~other operating expenses.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to ~~$65.7~~$44.9 million during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$73.6~~$65.7 million during the same period in ~~2018.

In accordance with ASC 852, the Company did not recognize interest expense ~~is comprised~~related to pre-petition debt subsequent to the Petition Date of four primary elements: (i) cash interest expense; (ii) PIK interest expense; (iii) amortization of deferred premium; and (iv) amortization of deferred financing costs. The table below reflects the comparative amounts in each period presented (in thousands):May 14, 2020.

~~Deferred Gain on Sale of Liquids Gathering System.~~Other Income (Expense), net. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2018,~~2020, the Company ~~recognized $5.3~~recorded other income of $3.5 million in ~~deferred gain~~Other income (expense) on the ~~sale~~condensed consolidated statement of operations, of which $2.1 million is attributed to a severance tax adjustment from the LGS and certain associated real property rights in the Pinedale field during December 2012. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized the remaining deferred gain as an opening balance sheet adjustment to Retained loss upon adoptionstate of ~~ASC 842.~~Utah.

~~Other Expense~~. During 2019, the Company reached a settlement with the ONRR audit from 2010 through 2012, including an overriding royalty claim. Such amounts have been in dispute prior to the Company’s bankruptcy filing in 2016 and are described in more detail in Note 12.

Gain (Loss) on Commodity Derivatives. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized a gain of ~~$7.3~~$29.0 million related to commodity derivatives as compared to a ~~loss~~gain of ~~$53.8~~$7.3 million related to commodity derivatives during the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. Of this total, the Company recognized $41.4 million related to a realized gain on commodity derivatives during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared with $75.2 million related to a realized loss on commodity derivatives during the ~~six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared with $7.7 million related to a realized gain on commodity derivatives during the~~ same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The realized gain or loss on commodity derivatives relates to actual amounts received or paid under the Company’s derivative contracts. This unrealized gain ~~(loss)~~or loss on commodity derivatives also includes a $12.4 million unrealized loss on commodity derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to an $82.5 million unrealized gain on commodity derivatives for the ~~six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to a $61.5 million unrealized loss on commodity derivatives for the~~ same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives represents the non-cash charge attributable to the change in the fair value of these derivative instruments over the remaining term of the contract. See Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments for additional details.

Reorganization Items, Net. Reorganization items, net of $117.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, are comprised of $23.1 million of professional fees, and offset by $140.7 million of a non-cash gain from the net write-off all unamortized premiums, discounts, and debt issuance costs related to the debt instruments which are expected to be impacted by the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

~~Overview.~~ Liquidity Before Filing Under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code

We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, our liquidity was historically driven by the availability under the Credit Facility commitments. Given that the borrowing base amount was continuing to decrease and the bank pricing decks had been reduced after the borrowing base redetermination completed in February 2020, management concluded that it would have a borrowing base deficiency and a Term Loan Exclusivity period (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement), subjecting the Company to a 2.0 asset coverage ratio effective July 1, 2020. Additionally, future cash flows were subject to a number of variables and are highly dependent on the prices we receive for oil and natural gas. Oil and natural gas prices declined severely during fiscal year 2019 and declined even further during the first half of 2020. There is still significant volatility in commodity prices and these prices are still lower than the industry has experienced in recent years. These lower commodity prices have negatively impacted revenues, earnings and cash flows, and sustained low oil and natural gas prices will have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity position.

As described in the introductory note, the filing of the Chapter 11 petitions constituted an event of default with respect to the Company’s existing debt obligations. However, subject to certain exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of the Chapter 11 petitions automatically enjoined, or stayed, the continuation of any judicial or administrative proceedings or other actions against the Debtors or their property to recover, collect or secure a claim arising prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 petitions. Thus, for example,

most creditor actions to obtain possession of property from the Debtors, or to create, perfect or enforce any lien against the Debtors’ property, or to collect on monies owed or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to a pre-petition claim are enjoined unless and until the Court lifts the automatic stay.

The Court has approved payment of certain pre-petition obligations, including payments for employee wages, salaries and certain other benefits, customer programs, taxes, utilities, insurance, surety bond premiums as well as payments to possessory lien vendors. Despite the liquidity provided by the Company’s existing cash on hand, our ability to maintain normal credit terms with our suppliers may become impaired. The Company may be required to pay cash in advance to certain vendors and may experience restrictions on the availability of trade credit, which would further reduce our liquidity. If liquidity problems persist, the Company’s suppliers could refuse to provide key products and services in the future. In addition, due to the public perception of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, in particular with regard to the Company’s potential failure to meet its debt obligations, some vendors could be reluctant to enter into long-term agreements with the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operating activities, ~~and periodic~~ borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (defined below)~~. At~~ until April 14, 2020, at which time the Company was in default under the Credit Agreement due to the issuance of a going concern qualification to the audit opinion on the December 31, 2019 financial statements, and from the DIP Facility following its closing in May 2020. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of ~~$5.2~~$32.3 million, and ~~$59.0~~$46.3 million and $10.4 million outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit ~~Facility. The borrowing base attributed~~Facility and DIP Facility, respectively.

On April 15, 2020, the Company elected to forgo the interest payments due under its Unsecured Notes obligations resulting in a second default. Both defaults had a 30-day grace period with the first grace period expiring on May 14, 2020, and the second grace period expiring the following day. During these grace periods, the Company remained compliant with the anti-cash hoarding limit of $15 million as established under the Credit Agreement. On May 14, 2020, the Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases with $11.0 million cash on hand and $46.3 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit ~~Facility provides~~Facility.

On May 14, 2020, the Debtors filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy constituted an immediate event of default under the Credit Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Second Lien Note Indenture, and the Unsecured Note Indentures, resulting in the automatic and immediate acceleration of all of our outstanding debt. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations related to the acceleration of our debt have been automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For more information on the Chapter 11 Cases and related matters, refer to the Introductory Note – Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Note 6 – Debt in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On May 14, 2020, the Debtors entered into the RSA with certain creditors to support a restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in our Plan. As more fully disclosed in the Introductory Note – Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Note 6 – Debt in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Plan and the RSA contemplate a restructuring which would provide for the treatment of holders of certain claims and existing equity interests. Accordingly, the liquidity for the Company during the bankruptcy proceedings will come from cash on hand, the initial $10 million draw on the debtor-in-possession term loan, and net operating cash flows during the bankruptcy period. The Company has been granted first day motions that will generally allow the Company to continue to execute its business plan and to conduct its operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As part of the RSA and the Plan, the Company has secured commitments for a ~~total of $325.0~~new exit reserve based credit facility with a $60 million ~~of availability, as determined in February 2019. In addition~~commitment amount under a $100 million borrowing base with the same parties that are currently parties to the ~~borrowings outstanding under the~~Company’s existing Revolving Credit Facility, ~~the Company had $1.9 billion of other indebtedness outstanding~~however in the form of term loans, secured notes and unsecured notes with maturities in 2022 through 2025. Availability under the borrowing base may be limited based on compliance with financial covenants; however, the Company expects to have adequate liquidity to fund its operations into the foreseeable future.

reorganized entity. Given the ~~current level of volatility in~~contemplated restructuring described by the ~~market~~Plan, this will be a new facility and the unpredictability of certain costs that could potentially arise in our operations, the Company’s liquidity needs could be significantly higher than the Company currently anticipates. The Company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity depends on the prevailing market prices for oil and natural gas, the successful operationnot a continuation or amendment of the ~~business, and appropriate management of operating expenses, levels of capital investment, and availability under the~~current Revolving Credit Facility. ~~The Company’s anticipated liquidity needs are highly sensitive to changes in each of these and other factors.~~

Capital Expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, total capital expenditures were ~~$176.8 million. During this period,~~$19.7 million including the purchase of the LGS for $18.0 million as part of the Purchase Agreement. As previously discussed, the Company ~~participated~~suspended its operated pad level drilling program in ~~53 gross (52.5 net) vertical wells and 1 gross (0.9 net) horizontal wells, together with 16 gross (5.3 net) vertical wells operated by others.~~

~~2019 Capital Investment Plan.~~ ~~Based on~~late September 2019. Per the ~~decision~~RSA, the Company has agreed to a budget, as defined in the ~~third quarter to move to a one rig operated drilling program, the Company’s 2019~~Plan resulting in only minimal capital investment forecast has been adjusted to a range of $260 million to $290 million, a reduction of approximately $60 million from the midpoint of the initial capital investment guidance. Our capital investment for the six months ended June 30, 2019, totaled $176.8 million. We expect to fund future capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, and cash on hand. We expect to allocate all of the capital to development activitiesinvestments in our Pinedale ~~field.~~field while the RSA is in effect.

DIP Credit Agreement. In connection with the RSA and the Chapter 11 Cases, Ultra Resources entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The ~~Company~~DIP Credit Agreement provides for the DIP Facility and borrowings up to $25.0 million. Ultra has utilized $10.0 million of this facility and is allowed to request additional borrowings up to $15.0 million, in tranches greater than $5.0 million. Ultra intends to use proceeds of the ~~ability~~DIP Facility, among other things: (1) to ~~adjust~~pay interest, fees, costs and expenses related to the loans thereunder, (2) to pay the fees, costs and expenses of the estate professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases and approved by the Court, (3) to pay the fees, costs, disbursements and expenses of the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement, (4) to make all permitted payments of costs of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, (5) to pay such pre-petition expenses as are consented to in writing by the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and approved by the Court, (6) to satisfy any adequate protection

obligations owing under the DIP Orders (as defined in the RSA); and (7) for general corporate and working capital ~~investment plan depending on~~purposes of the ~~projected natural gas price~~Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases.

The DIP Facility bears an interest rate (a) with respect to LIBOR Loans (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), of LIBOR plus 400 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, and ~~estimates~~(b) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the greatest of ~~economic returns on~~(i) Prime Rate (as defined in the ~~capital investment. Additionally, future estimates of capital expenditures may vary depending on whether partners elect~~DIP Credit Agreement), (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), plus 50 basis points, and (iii) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) for a one month interest period plus 100 basis points, in each case plus 300 basis points. Unutilized fees are 50 basis points and the upfront fees in an aggregate amount equal to ~~participate in their working interest share of proposed wells~~$0.2 million. The DIP Facility is subject to certain affirmative and ~~similarly,~~negative covenants, including, among other covenants the Company ~~may elect~~believes to be customary in debtor-in-possession financings, continuing reporting obligations by the Company, on a consolidated basis, in the form of a rolling 13-week budget and a weekly report with a reasonably detailed written explanation of all material variances from the budget. As of the filing date of this report, the Company is not ~~to participate in wells drilled by other operators.~~aware of any breaches of any covenants of the DIP Facility.

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into the DIP First Amendment as described previously.

~~The semi-annual redetermination in February 2019 resulted in a borrowing base commitment~~As of ~~$1.3 billion, with $975.0 million allocated to~~ the ~~Company’s Term Loan (as defined below) and $325.0 million allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility. At June 30, 2019,~~Petition Date, Ultra Resources had ~~$59.0~~$46.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit ~~Facility,~~Facility. The Company also had $10.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. These amounts remain subject to settlement under the terms of the RSA. As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company is no longer in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and ~~with total~~the lenders’ previous commitments of ~~$325.0 million.~~$100 million under the Credit Agreement have been terminated. The ~~next borrowing base redetermination~~Company is ~~scheduled for October 1, 2019.~~therefore unable to make additional borrowings or issue additional letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

Prior to default and as stayed by the relief provided by the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, t~~The~~he Revolving Credit Facility ~~has capacity for Ultra Resources to increase the commitments subject to certain conditions, and has $50.0~~had $35.0 million of the commitments available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest either at a rate equal to (a) a customary London interbank offered rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 250 to 350 basis points or (b) the base rate plus an applicable margin that varies from 150 to 250 basis ~~points.~~points based upon the borrowing base utilization grid. The applicable margin ~~is increased~~increases by 25 basis points in the event the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined, exceeds 4.00 to 1.00. Ultra Resources is required to pay a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility ~~which varies based upon a borrowing base utilization grid.~~of 50 basis points. Ultra Resources is also required to pay customary letter of credit and fronting fees. The Revolving Credit ~~Facility loans mature on~~Facility’s original maturity date is January 12, ~~2022.~~

~~The~~2022; however, if the Plan is confirmed the Revolving Credit Facility ~~requires Ultra Resources~~will terminate in connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.

Other provisions of the Credit Agreement have been disclosed in previous regulatory filings and have been deleted from this filing as the compliance elements of the Credit Agreement are stayed by the bankruptcy filing under the Chapter 11 Cases.

~~Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to the following minimum hedging requirements: t~~hrough September 29, 2019, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 65% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from its proved developed producing (“PDP”) reserves; and during the period beginning on September 30, 2019 and ending on March 30, 2020, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 50% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from PDP reserves. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company will no longer be subject to a minimum hedging requirement. The Company expects to be in compliance with these requirements while the requirements remain effective. The duration of the hedging requirements is an 18-month period from the end of a given quarter.

~~Borrowings~~ under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either (a) a customary London interbank offered rate plus 400 basis points or (b) the base rate plus 300 basis points, in each case, of which 25 basis points of the applicable margin is payable-in-kind (“PIK”) solely upon election by Ultra Resources. ~~Beginning in March~~During 2019, the Company ~~has affirmatively~~ elected the PIK option ~~and management expects~~for several of its selected interest payments. In the third quarter 2019, the Company began electing not to ~~continue~~utilize this ~~practice into~~PIK option.

~~Borrowings under~~Other provisions of the Term Loan Agreement have been disclosed in previous regulatory filings and have been deleted from this filing as the compliance elements of the Term Loan Agreement are ~~subject to mandatory prepayments and customary reinvestment rights. The mandatory prepayments include, without limitation, a prepayment requirement with~~stayed by the total net proceeds from certain asset sales and net proceeds on insurance received on account of any loss of Ultra Resources’ property or assets, in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition, subject to certain conditions, there is a prepayment requirement if the asset coverage ratio is less than 2.0 to 1.0. To the extent any mandatory prepayments are required, prepayments equal to six monthly payments are required to attain compliance and are applied to prepay the borrowingsbankruptcy filing under the ~~Term Loan Agreement.~~Chapter 11 Cases.

The Term Loan Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, and at June 30, 2019, Ultra Resources was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Term Loan Agreement. Refer to Note 6 ~~Long Term~~– Debt in the ~~2018~~2019 Form 10-K for additional details on the terms of the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Agreement contains customary events of default and remedies for credit facilities of this nature. If Ultra Resources does not comply with the financial and other covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require immediate payment of all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Amendment.

~~If Ultra Resources experiences certain change of control triggering events set forth in~~Subject to the stay order previously described, interest on the Second Lien Notes ~~Indenture,~~accrued at (i) an annual rate of 9.00% payable in cash and (ii) an annual rate of 2.00% PIK. The cash interest payment dates for the Second Lien Notes were January 15 and July 15 of each ~~holder~~year, commencing in July 2019. The Company has accounted for such PIK interest as an increase to the principal outstanding. The Second Lien Notes have a stated maturity date of July 12, 2024; however, the Second Lien Notes and their maturity date will be impacted by the final resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Other provisions of the Second Lien Notes ~~may require Ultra Resources to repurchase all or a portion~~have been disclosed in previous filings and have been deleted from this filing as compliance elements of its Second Lien Notes for cash at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Second Lien Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest (including PIK interest) to the date of repurchase.

Operating Activities. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$215.1~~$63.2 million compared to ~~$205.8~~$215.1 million for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019. The ~~increase~~decrease in net cash provided by operating activities is attributable to ~~an increase~~a decrease in net income and ~~an increase~~a decrease in working ~~capital.~~capital driven by lower commodity prices and lower production, as well as a payment of significant reorganization costs in 2020 related to the Chapter 11 filing.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had minimal investments into natural gas well related activities and facilities, with the most significant activity related to the purchase of the LGS assets from Corridor. The overall decrease in net cash used in investing activities between periods is largely related to decreased capital investments in 2020 associated with the Company’s suspension of drilling ~~activities. In 2018, the Company was drilling vertical and horizontal wells which resulted~~activities as announced in higher capital costs. During 2019, the Company is primarily focused on drilling vertical wells. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2019, the Company elected to release a drilling rig and reduce its operated rig count in the Pinedale field from three to two. In the third quarter of 2019 ~~the Company plans to reduce its operated drilling program to~~as a ~~single rig.~~result of natural gas pricing remaining near multi-year lows, resulting in no new wells being drilled or completed in 2020.

Reorganization Accounting. Effective May 14, 2020, as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company began accounting and reporting according to FASB ASC Topic 852 – Reorganizations, which specifies the accounting and financial

reporting requirements for entities reorganizing through Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. These requirements include distinguishing transactions associated with the reorganization separate from activities related to the ongoing operations of the business.

pronouncements. Please refer to, Significant Accounting Policies, under Part I, Item 1 of this report for new accounting pronouncements.

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

~~Objectives and Strategy:~~ ~~The Company is exposed to commodity price risk. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about financial instruments to which~~As a smaller reporting company, we ~~were a party at June 30, 2019, and from which we may incur future gains or losses from changes in commodity prices. We do~~are not ~~enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.~~

The Company’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to its natural gas and oil production. Realized pricing is currently driven primarily by the prevailing price for the Company’s natural gas production. Historically, prices received for natural gas production have been volatile and unpredictable. Pricing volatility is expected to continue. The prices we receive for our production depend on many factors outside of our control, including volatility in the differences between product prices at sales points and the applicable index price.

~~The Company relies on various types of derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk and~~required to provide ~~a level of certainty in~~ the Company’s forward cash flows supporting the Company’s capital investment program. These types of instruments may include fixed price swaps, costless collars, deferred premium puts or basis differential swaps. These contracts are financial instruments, and do not require or allow for physical delivery of the hedged commodity. While mitigating the effects of

~~fluctuating commodity prices, these derivative contracts may limit the benefits we would receive from increases in commodity prices above the fixed hedge prices.~~

~~Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is subject to the following minimum hedging requirements: through September 29, 2019, the Company is~~information required to hedge a minimum of 65% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from its PDP reserves; and during the period beginning on September 30, 2019 and ending on March 30, 2020, the Company is required to hedge a minimum of 50% of the quarterly projected volumes of natural gas from PDP reserves. Beginning April 1, 2020, the Company will no longer be subject to a minimum hedging requirement.

~~Fair Value of Commodity Derivatives:~~ The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded at fair value as derivative assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the associated unrealized gains and losses are recorded as current income or expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not offset the value of its derivative arrangements with the same counterparty. ~~Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives represent the non-cash change in the fair value of these derivative instruments~~ ~~and do not impact operating cash flows on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments. See Note 10 of~~by this ~~report for details regarding the fair value of the derivative contracts described below.~~

~~Commodity Derivative Contracts:~~ ~~At June 30, 2019,~~ the Company had the following open commodity derivative contracts to manage commodity price risk. For the fixed price swaps, the Company receives the fixed price for the contract and pays the variable price to the counterparty. For the basis swaps, the Company receives a fixed price for the difference between two sales points for a specified commodity volume over a specified time period. The reference prices of these commodity derivative contracts are typically referenced to index prices as published by independent third parties.

~~Subsequent to June 30, 2019 and through July 31, 2019, the Company entered into the following open commodity derivative contracts to manage commodity price risk.~~

The following table summarizes the pre-tax realized and unrealized gain (loss) the Company recognized related to its derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

The realized gain or loss on commodity derivatives relates to actual amounts received or paid or to be received or paid under the Company’s derivative contracts and the unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives represents the change in the fair value of these derivative instruments over the remaining term of the contract.

We are also exposed to market risk related to adverse changes in interest rates, primarily related to fluctuations in short-term rates that are based on the London interbank offered rate. Such fluctuations may result in reductions of earnings or cash flows due to increases in the interest rates we pay on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on our variable rate debt was 6.3% per year. If the balance of our variable interest rate at June 30, 2019 were to remain constant, a 10% change in the variable market interest rates would impact our cash flows by approximately $1.3 million per year.

We monitor our risk of loss due to non-performance by counterparties of their contractual obligations. Our principal exposure to credit risk is through the sale of our natural gas and oil production, which we market to diverse group of companies, including major energy companies, natural gas utilities, oil refiners, pipeline companies, local distribution companies, financial institutions and end-users in various industries. We monitor our exposure to these counterparties primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. We extend credit terms based on our evaluation of each counterparty’s creditworthiness.

To a lesser extent, we are also exposed to credit risk through our derivative counterparties. We have entered into International Swap Dealers Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of our derivative counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide us and the counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either us or a counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set off all derivative liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our derivative activities. Item.

The Company has performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that it has designed to ensure that it records, processes, accumulates and communicates information to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and submissions within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those determined to be effective can provide only a reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Based on the evaluation, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

~~See~~Refer Note 12 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of on-going claims and disputes that arose during our ~~chapter~~Chapter 11 proceedings, certain of which may be material. The Company is also currently involved in various routine disputes and allegations incidental to its business operations. While it is not possible to determine or predict the ultimate disposition of these matters, the Company believes that the resolution of all such pending or threatened litigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our business has many risks. Any of the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or in our other SEC filings, could have a material impact on our business, financial position, or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risks described in the Company’s ~~Annual Report on~~2019 Form 10-K ~~for the year ended December 31, 2018~~ and the Quarterly Report on the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. This information should be considered carefully, together with other information in this report and other reports and materials we file with the SEC.

~~Our common shares were recently delisted from The NASDAQ Global Select Market and trade in an over-the-counter market. This may negatively affect our stock price and liquidity.~~

As previously disclosed, on January 29, 2019, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC notifying us that our common shares over a period of 30 consecutive trading days closed below the average closing price of $1.00 per share, which is the minimum average closing price required to maintain listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). Further, as previously disclosed, on July 30, 2019, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Global Select Market that our common shares would be delisted from The NASDAQ Global Select Market on August 8, 2019 because we have not regained compliance within the automatic period of 180 calendar days provided to us in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

Trading in our common shares is now conducted in the over-the-counter markets on the OTC Bulletin Board and the liquidity of our common shares may likely be reduced or impaired, not only in the number of shares which could be purchased and sold, but also through delays in the timing of the transactions. There may also be a reduction in our coverage by security analysists and the news media, thereby resulting in potential lower prices for our common shares than might otherwise prevail. The delisting of our common shares may also result in other adverse consequences, including lower demand for our shares, adverse publicity and a reduced interest in our Company from investors, analysts and other market participants.

Investments in securities trading on the over-the-counter markets are generally less liquid than investments in securities trading on a national securities exchange. In addition, the trading of our common shares on the over-the-counter markets could have other negative implications, including the potential loss of confidence in us by suppliers, customers and employees and the loss of institutional investor interest in our common shares. This could further depress the trading price of our common shares and could also have a long-term adverse effect on our ability to raise capital.

There can be no assurance that our common shares will continue to trade on the over-the-counter markets or that any public market for the common shares will exist in the future, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the common shares on this market, whether the trading volume of the common shares will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market, whether quotes for the common shares may be blocked in the future, or that we will be able to relist the common shares on a national securities exchange.

The following table provides information about purchases made by the Company (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, of shares of common stock, which is the sole class of equity securities registered by the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act:

~~None.~~The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated our obligations under our Credit Agreement, Term Loan Agreement, Second Lien Notes and Unsecured Notes. Under the Bankruptcy Code, holders of our Second Lien Notes and Unsecured Notes and the lenders under our Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement were stayed from taking any action against us as a result of this event of default.

For additional information concerning the Bankruptcy Petitions under Chapter 11, refer to the Introductory Note – Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Note 6 – Debt in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
