Proved developed reserves | Reserves that can be expected to be recovered (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well. |
Proved reserves | The quantities of oil and natural gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. For additional information, see the SEC’s definition in Rule 1-10(a)(22) of Regulation S-X, a link for which is available at the SEC’s website. |
Proved undeveloped reserves | Reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. |
PV-10 value | When used with respect to oil and natural gas reserves, PV-10 value means the estimated future gross revenue to be generated from the production of proved reserves, net of estimated production and future development costs, excluding escalations of prices and costs based upon future conditions, before income taxes, and without giving effect to non- property-related expenses, discounted to a present value using an annual discount rate of 10%. |

By recording the time interval between the source of the shock wave and the reflected or refracted shock waves from various formations, geophysicists are able to define the underground configurations. |
Undeveloped acreage | Lease acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil or natural gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves. |
Working interest | The right granted to the lessee of a property to explore for and to produce and own oil, natural gas, or other minerals. The working interest owners bear the exploration, development, and operating costs on a cash, penalty, or carried basis. |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Canvas Energy Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Canvas Energy Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the
consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the
years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024
and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our
audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of management for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to
evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for
one year after the date the consolidated financial statements are available to be
issued.


GT.COMGrant Thornton LLP is a U.S. member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd (GTIL). GTIL and each of its member firms are separate
legal entities and are not a worldwide partnership.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a
substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the
judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a
test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as
well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in
the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit
findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies
Canvas Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us”, “Canvas”, or the “Company”) are engaged in the
acquisition, exploration, development, production and operation of oil and natural gas properties. Our properties are located in
Oklahoma, where we produce crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. The commodities produced are primarily sold to refineries
and gas processing plants within close proximity to our producing properties.
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements
follows.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Canvas Energy Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP necessitates management to make estimates and assumptions.
These judgments impact the reported values of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance
sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The more significant areas requiring use of assumptions, judgments and estimates on our consolidated financial statements include:
quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves; cash flow estimates used in the oil and gas ceiling test; asset retirement obligations;
income taxes; valuation of derivative instruments; and accrued revenue and related receivables. Although management believes these
estimates are reasonable, actual results could significantly differ from these estimates.
Dividends
During 2024, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) declared and paid dividends on the Company’s common stock as
follows: (i) $13.59 per share with a record date of March 21, 2024; (ii) $9.70 per share with a record date of June 10, 2024; and (iii)
$1.455 per share with a record date of August 30, 2024. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock in
2023.
Units under the Company’s equity incentive plan, including both issued awards (consisting of restricted stock units) and
unallocated award units, were also entitled to the dividends in the form of dividend equivalents, which the Company has funded (see
“Note 10: Deferred compensation”).
Stock repurchase
The Company repurchased 25,368 shares of common stock in October 2023 for a total purchase price of $1.1 million. In November
2023, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 550,000 shares of common stock from its stockholders leading to
318,125 shares being repurchased in December 2023 for a total purchase price of $15.4 million. The repurchased shares in 2023 were
8
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
all immediately retired. In accordance with accounting guidance on share repurchases for constructive retirement, the excess of the
purchase price over par value was recorded entirely to retained earnings.
Cash and cash equivalents
We classify as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Our cash and cash
equivalents are held in diversified bank deposit accounts and money market funds, which may not be fully insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). We have not experienced any losses on these accounts and believe our exposure to credit risk
associated with them is insignificant. Included in the balance of cash and cash equivalents are money market securities as of December
31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, deposited in the Secular Trust that may only be used for future
employee compensation (see “Note 10: Deferred compensation”).
Accounts receivable
Basis of accounting. Our accounts receivable are carried at gross cost, representing amounts due, less an allowance for expected
credit losses. We write off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible. When we recover amounts that were
previously written off, those amounts are offset against the allowance and reduce expense in the year of recovery.
The Company has four components constituting its total accounts receivables: (i) joint interest receivables; (ii) commodity sales
receivables; (iii) derivative settlement receivables; and (iv) other receivables. The table below discloses balances related to these four
segments and the allowance:
December 31, | ||||
(in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | ||
Joint interests | $15,839 | $12,063 | ||
Commodity sales | 29,339 | 25,315 | ||
Derivative settlements | 327 | 1,487 | ||
Other | 1,325 | 22 | ||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (1,136) | (1,339) | ||
Total accounts receivable, net | $45,694 | $37,548 | ||
Commodity sales receivables. The Company sells its commodity products primarily to oil and natural gas midstream entities
including crude oil refineries and natural gas processing plants. We also sell a portion of our natural gas to energy marketing entities.
Payment is generally received within 30 days of sales and, based on our history of collections from our purchasers, we believe the
probability of credit losses from uncollectible receivables to be remote. We perform annual credit evaluations on purchasers
representing approximately 75% or more of our commodity revenues. The evaluations include: (i) an assessment of external credit
ratings; (ii) performing internal risk evaluations when external ratings are not available; and (iii) assessing the need for guarantor
letters or letters of credit. We estimate the expected losses on uncollectible receivables by taking into consideration general industry
conditions and, more specifically, factors impacting the midstream energy segment. We may make further adjustments to our
allowance for credit losses according to any specific news we may receive regarding individual purchasers. Our allowance for
doubtful accounts on commodity sales receivables as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.4 million.
Joint interest receivables. Our joint interest receivables represent amounts owed to us by other working interest owners on wells
that we operate. We have numerous joint interest counterparties, which are the result of combining all or portions of multiple oil and
9
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
gas leases to form units for the drilling of wells under poolings or joint interest agreements. The counterparties in this segment are
diverse, ranging from large public company upstream operators to individual mineral leaseholders. Amounts billed to our joint interest
owners generally consist of drilling and completion costs, in the early stages of a well, and lease operating expenses and costs for
workovers and remediation work once a well is online. Our historical losses on uncollectible receivables have predominantly been
attributable to this portfolio segment. In the event of nonpayment, we may be able to mitigate our losses by netting the outstanding
amount against any revenues payable to the joint interest owner and if still insufficient, by assuming the joint interest owner’s working
interest in the well. The fair value of the working interest, which represents collateral for the outstanding receivable, will depend on
the fair value of the remaining oil and natural gas reserves of the well. We monitor the ongoing collectability of these receivables by
focusing on past due accounts with material balances. We estimate the expected losses on uncollectible joint interest receivables by
applying varying allowance rates to outstanding balances based on aging of the balances. We also factor in current industry conditions,
the ability to net the receivable against outstanding revenues payable to the account holder and the amount of such revenues, the fair
value of the account holder’s working interest in the property and the account holder’s previous loss history in assessing the
appropriate allowance. This method is augmented with a specific identification approach that includes directly communicating with
certain joint interest owners that have material outstanding balances and consideration of specific information or circumstances
regarding the account, such as bankruptcy, litigation or ongoing negotiations. Our allowance for doubtful accounts on joint interest
receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Derivative settlement receivables. Our derivative receivables relate to net settlements due from counterparties to our derivative
contracts. Since derivative settlements fluctuate depending on commodity price changes, which are volatile, the associated amounts
can result in a net payable or a net receivable position in any given month. Our derivative contracts generally require payment within
one month of the production date being hedged. We typically have a limited number of counterparties to our derivative contracts,
currently all of whom are large financial institutions and lenders under the Credit Agreement. These financial institution counterparties
bear investment grade credit ratings. We have never incurred credit losses from our derivative receivables and believe the probability
of such losses to be highly remote. For counterparties who also belong to the lending group under the Credit Agreement, to the extent
that a balance is uncollectible, we believe that we have offset rights against amounts owed to the counterparty under the Credit
Agreement. Based on these circumstances, we have not recorded any allowance for credit losses related to these receivables.
Other receivables. These receivables are of a nonrecurring discrete nature and generally immaterial with respect to our total
receivables.
Accrued interest, discount and premiums. We do not accrue interest on the outstanding balances of our receivables. There are no
discounts or premiums associated with our receivables.
Presentation of credit loss expense. Our credit loss expense is included as a component of “General and administrative expenses”
on our consolidated statement of operations and is as follows:

Inventories
Inventories consist of equipment used in developing oil and natural gas properties and oil and natural gas product inventories at
historical cost. We evaluate our inventory each quarter and when there is evidence that the utility of our inventory, in their disposal in
the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or
other causes, we record an allowance to reduce the cost to its net realizable value. Inventories are shown net of a provision for
obsolescence, commensurate with known or estimated exposure, which is reflected in the valuation allowance disclosed below.

Capitalized Costs. We use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties and activities. Accordingly, we
capitalize all costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas reserves. Proceeds from the
disposition of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as a reduction in capitalized costs, with no gain or loss generally
recognized unless such dispositions involve a significant alteration in the depletion rate. We capitalize internal costs that can be
directly identified with exploration and development activities, but do not include any costs related to production, general corporate
overhead or similar activities. Capitalized costs include geological and geophysical work, 3D seismic, delay rentals, and drilling
completing and equipping oil and natural gas wells, including salaries, benefits, and other internal costs directly attributable to these
activities.
Costs associated with unevaluated oil and natural gas properties, which may include leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized
interest, seismic data costs and development costs for wells which reserve volumes are not classified as proved, are excluded from the
amortizable base until a determination has been made as to the existence of proved reserves. Quarterly, unevaluated leasehold costs,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
along with seismic data costs and capitalized interest that were previously allocated to the unevaluated acreage parcels, are transferred
to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well upon proving up reserves of a successful well or upon determination
of a dry or uneconomic well. Furthermore, unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment if events and
circumstances exist that indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying amount of such property. The impairment
assessment is conducted at least once annually and whenever there are indicators that impairment may have occurred. In assessing
whether impairment has occurred, we consider factors such as intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical
evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are
assigned. Upon determination of impairment, all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and
become subject to amortization. The processes above are applied to unevaluated oil and natural gas properties on an individual basis or
as a group if properties are individually insignificant. Our future depreciation, depletion and amortization rate would increase or we
may incur ceiling test write-downs if costs are transferred to the amortization base without any associated reserves.
The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties consisted of the following:
December 31, | ||||
(in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | ||
Leasehold acreage | $34,755 | $14,274 | ||
Capitalized interest | 4,557 | 2,764 | ||
Wells in progress of completion | 300 | 689 | ||
Total unevaluated oil and natural gas properties excluded from amortization | $39,612 | $17,727 | ||
The carrying value of wells in progress of completion will be transferred to the amortization base upon completion in 2025. Subject
to industry conditions and the level of the Company’s activities, the inclusion of most of the leasehold acreage and capitalized interest
costs referenced above into the Company’s amortization calculation typically occurs within three years to five years.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) of oil and natural gas properties are
provided using the units-of-production method based on estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and production. Our cost
basis for depletion includes estimated future development costs to be incurred on proved undeveloped properties. The computation of
DD&A takes into consideration restoration, dismantlement, and abandonment costs, and the anticipated proceeds from salvaging
equipment. Depreciation expense is as follows for the periods indicated:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||
(in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | ||
DD&A: | ||||
Oil and natural gas properties | $63,936 | $52,432 | ||
Property and equipment | 1,110 | 1,242 | ||
Total DD&A | $65,046 | $53,674 | ||
Total DD&A expense per Boe increased $1.33 from $5.96 in 2023 to $7.29 in 2024. This increase was driven by the per Boe cost
of oil and natural gas properties which increased $1.35 from $5.82 in 2023 to $7.17 in 2024. The per Boe cost per property and
equipment saw a slight decline from $0.14 in 2023 to $0.12 in 2024.
Ceiling Test. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, the net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are
not to exceed their related PV-10 value, net of tax considerations, plus the cost of unproved properties not being amortized.
12
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were prepared using an average price for oil and
natural gas based upon the first day of each month for the prior twelve months as required by the SEC. We did not record any ceiling
test impairment to our oil and natural gas properties for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Impairment losses are recorded on property and equipment used in operations and other long-lived assets held and used when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’
carrying amount. Impairment is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. Impairment
losses are also recorded on assets classified as held for sale when there is an excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell.
We did not record any impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Other noncurrent liabilities
Other noncurrent liabilities consists of the following:
December 31, | ||||
(in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | ||
Deferred compensation | $4,960 | $1,288 | ||
Debt issuance costs payable | 400 | 1,500 | ||
Total other noncurrent liabilities | $5,360 | $2,788 | ||
Income taxes
The Company is subject to current income taxes assessed by the federal and various state jurisdictions in the U.S. In addition, we
account for deferred income taxes related to these jurisdictions using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in results of operations in the period
that includes the enactment date.
We record a valuation allowance for the amount of net deferred tax assets when, in management’s opinion, it is more likely than
not that such assets will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income,
as well as the jurisdiction in which such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such
evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry.
The benefit of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return is recognized in the consolidated
financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing
authority. Interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded in interest expense and other expense,
respectively. There were no uncertain tax positions with respect to state and federal income taxes at December 31, 2024, or December
31, 2023.
13
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states, each with varying statutes of limitations. With few
exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2021.
Derivative transactions
We use derivative instruments to reduce the effect of fluctuations in crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, and we
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. Our derivative instruments are not designated as hedges
for accounting purposes, thus changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported immediately in “Derivative gains (losses), net” in
our consolidated statements of operations. Cash flows associated with derivatives are reported as investing activities in the
consolidated statements of cash flows unless the derivatives contain a significant financing element, in which case that element is
reported as financing activities.
Within current and noncurrent classifications on the balance sheet, we offset assets and liabilities for derivative contracts executed
with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. See “Note 6: Derivative instruments” for additional information
regarding our derivative transactions.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined by the FASB 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. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or
parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are
applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on
the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy
defined by the FASB. The hierarchical levels are based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair
value of the assets and liabilities. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, the asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety
requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2
inputs include adjusted quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable
for the asset or liability. Fair value assets and liabilities included in this category are derivatives with fair values based on published
forward commodity price curves and other observable inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and
include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Assets carried at fair value and included in this
category are certain financial derivatives and additions to our asset retirement obligations. See “Note 7: Fair value measurements” for
additional information regarding our fair value measurements.

Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Asset retirement obligations
We own oil and natural gas properties that require expenditures to plug, abandon or remediate wells and to remove tangible
equipment and facilities at the end of oil and natural gas production operations in accordance with applicable federal and state laws.
We record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding
increase in the carrying amount of oil and natural gas properties. The accretion of the asset retirement obligations is included in
“Depreciation, depletion and amortization” in our consolidated statements of operations. See “Note 8: Asset retirement obligations”
for additional information regarding our asset retirement obligations.
Environmental liabilities
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations covering discharge of materials into the
environment. Because these laws and regulations change regularly, we are unable to predict the conditions and other factors over
which we do not exercise control that may give rise to environmental liabilities affecting us. Environmental expenditures that relate to
an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed.
Liabilities are accrued when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have not accrued for or been fined or cited for any environmental violations that would have a
material adverse effect upon our financial position, operating results, or cash flows.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with GAAP, we identify the performance obligations under our sales agreements, which is for the delivery of crude
oil, natural gas or NGLs, and recognize revenue when those obligations are satisfied, which occurs when control of the commodity is
transferred to the purchaser. Furthermore, any costs and fees levied by the customer subsequent to the transfer of control will be
recognized as a reduction in revenue. See “Note 12: Revenue recognition” for additional information regarding our revenue
recognition.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has granted equity incentive awards to certain employees and members of its board pursuant to the Canvas Energy
Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 EIP”). Outstanding awards under the 2020 EIP consist of restricted stock
units (“RSUs”) that are subject to either a service-based vesting condition or a combined performance-based and market-based vesting
condition. The RSUs are classified as equity-based awards. Compensation cost for service-based awards is recognized and measured
based on a fair value estimate of the Company’s equity.
Service-based awards either vest in one year and are expensed over that time frame or are subject to a graded vesting schedule over
four annual installments where expense is recognized under the accelerated method. Compensation cost for service-based awards is
recognized and measured based on a fair value estimate of the Company’s equity, which is largely driven by fair value estimates of
our enterprise value and outstanding debt, adjusted for lack of marketability as the Company is a private entity.
RSUs with a combined performance-based and market-based vesting condition vest upon achievement of a change in control event
that yields a threshold multiple of investment, where different levels of the multiple of investment above the threshold result in
15
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
different vesting percentages. We determine the fair value of this award by assuming that a change in control occurs and then
determining whether and to what extent the market condition is met by simulating future possible stock prices and resulting vesting
percentages. However, since a change in control event is not believed to be probable prior to its occurrence, no expense is recognized
until such event actually occurs. When a change in control event occurs, the entire compensation cost related to these awards will be
recognized regardless of the number of shares that actually vest, which depends on the multiple of investment outcome.
We do not recognize expense based on an estimate of forfeitures but rather recognize the impact of forfeitures only as they occur.
See “Note 10: Deferred compensation” for additional information relating to stock-based compensation.
Subsequent events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 28, 2025, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 intends to provide
investors with enhanced information about an entity’s income taxes by requiring disclosure of items such as disaggregation of the
effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information regarding income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The
Company is evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the disclosures that accompany its consolidated financial statements.

Credit Agreement
On June 27, 2023, we entered into a new revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent, and various lender parties to replace an existing credit agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative
agent, that was scheduled to mature in February 2024. Our prior agreement with Royal Bank of Canada was terminated on June 27,
2023. The termination in the second quarter of 2023 resulted in a $0.5 million “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in the consolidated
statement of operations that was related to the acceleration of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.
The Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate maximum principal amount of up to $500.0 million collateralized by our oil and
natural gas properties, an initial borrowing base of $250.0 million and an aggregate elected commitment amount (“ECA”) of $250.0
million. The fees associated with establishing the new Credit Agreement were recorded as debt issuance costs and are amortized over
the term of the Credit Agreement as a component of interest expense. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 27, 2027 and
bears interest at a term rate based on either the secured overnight financing rate established by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
(“SOFR”) or alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus, in each case a rate per annum set based on commitment utilization (“Applicable
Margin”). ABR is equal to the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c)
SOFR plus 1%, with certain exceptions. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the average daily
unused portion of the current aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, we had outstanding
borrowings of $150.0 million under the Credit Agreement, resulting in an unused amount of $100.0 million.
Availability of the revolver under our Credit Agreement is subject to the lower of the borrowing base that is based on, among other
things, the value of our oil and natural gas properties and set by the banks semi-annually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each
year and the aggregate ECA. In addition, the Company or the lenders may request a borrowing base redetermination once between
each scheduled redetermination. The Company can also add banks once between each scheduled redetermination to increase the ECA
without an interim redetermination process. As noted above, the ECA is currently equal to the approved borrowing base.
As of December 31, 2024, our outstanding borrowings were accruing interest at the SOFR plus the Applicable Margin, which
resulted in a weighted average interest rate of 8.23% on the amount outstanding.
The Credit Agreement contains covenants and events of default customary for oil and natural gas reserve-based lending facilities
including restrictions on additional debt, guarantees, liens, restricted payments, investments and hedging activity. Additionally, our
Credit Agreement specifies events of default, including non-payment, breach of warranty, non-performance of covenants, default on
other indebtedness or swap agreements, restrictions on paying dividends, certain adverse judgments, bankruptcy events and change of
control, among others.
18
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The financial covenants currently require, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, that we maintain (i) a Ratio of Total Net Debt to
EBITDAX (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no greater than 2.75 to 1.00 calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis and (ii) a
Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 1.00 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance
with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Affirmative hedging covenants under the Credit Agreement require, among other items, that 45 days following the last day of each
fiscal quarter, the Company have in place commodity hedging agreements covering not less than (a) 25% of Projected PDP Volume
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) of oil and natural gas for 24 consecutive months and (b) 25% of the Projected PDP Revenue (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) of natural gas liquids for 12 consecutive months. If our Ratio of Total Debt to EBITDAX exceeds
1.00 to 1.00 or Commitment Utilization Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) exceeds 50%, then the foregoing references
above to “25%” of the Projected PDP Volume or Projected PDP Revenue, as applicable, are “50%”. As of December 31, 2024,
the Company is subject to the 50% minimum hedging requirement referenced above.
Restricted payments, such as dividends and stock repurchases, may be made under the Credit Agreement as long as (i) no default
or event of default exists at the time of such payment or result therefrom, (ii) the Commitment Utilization Percentage does not exceed
75% immediately after giving effect to such payment and (iii) the Ratio of Total Debt to EBITDAX as of the date of such payment
does not exceed 1.00 to 1.00 immediately after giving effect to such payment. The Company may make restricted payments from
Distributable Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) if (a) the above limitations (i) and (ii) are met and (b) the Ratio of
Total Debt to EBITDAX as of the date of such payment does not exceed 1.75 to 1.00 immediately after giving effect to such payment.
Note 6: Derivative instruments
Overview
Our results of operations, financial condition and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and
demand for, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market uncertainties.
To mitigate a portion of this exposure, we enter into various types of derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2024, our natural
gas, NGL, and oil derivatives consisted of the following types of instruments:
•Swaps: We receive a fixed price for the hedged commodity and pay a variable market price to the contract counterparty.
•Collars: Collars contain a fixed floor price (put) and ceiling price (call). If the market price exceeds the call strike price or
falls below the put strike price, we receive the fixed floor or ceiling price, as applicable, and pay the market price. If the
market price is between the put and the call strike prices, no payments are due from either party.
•Basis Swaps: These instruments are arrangements that guarantee a fixed price differential to NYMEX from a specified
delivery point. We receive the fixed price differential and pay the floating market price differential to the counterparty for the
hedged commodity. Basis swaps also include oil swap contracts to fix the differential in pricing between the WTI NYMEX
calendar month average and the physical crude oil delivery month (“oil roll”) pursuant to which we pay the periodic variable
oil roll and receive a weighted-average fixed price differential.

Note 7: Fair value measurements
Recurring fair value measurements
Our financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of commodity derivative contracts (see “Note 6:
Derivative instruments”) and assets in our Rabbi Trust and Secular Trust (see “Note 10: Deferred compensation“). They are
categorized according to the fair value hierarchy defined by the FASB as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 estimates (see “Note 1:
Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies” for a description of the fair value levels). Our derivative
contracts classified as Level 2 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of commodity price swaps, including our oil roll contracts,
which are valued using an income approach. Future cash flows from these derivatives are estimated based on the difference between
the fixed contract price and the underlying published forward market price and are discounted at a rate that captures our own
nonperformance risk for derivative liabilities or that of our counterparties for derivative assets.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023 our derivative contracts classified as Level 3 consisted of collars, gas basis swaps and put
options. The fair value of these contracts is developed by a third-party pricing service using a proprietary valuation model, which we
believe incorporates the assumptions that market participants would have made at the end of each period. Observable inputs include
contractual terms, published forward pricing curves, and yield curves. Significant unobservable inputs are implied volatilities and
proprietary pricing curves. Significant increases (decreases) in implied volatilities in isolation would result in a significantly higher
(lower) fair value measurement. We review these valuations and the changes in the fair value measurements for reasonableness. All
derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and include a measure of our own nonperformance risk for derivative liabilities or our
counterparty credit risk for derivative assets.
The fair value hierarchy for our derivative assets and liabilities is shown by the following table:
As of December 31, 2024 | As of December 31, 2023 | |||||||||||

(1)Amounts represent the impact of master netting agreements that allow us to net settle positive and negative positions with the same
counterparty. Positive and negative positions with counterparties are netted on the balance sheet only to the extent that they relate to the same
current versus non-current classification.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements
Asset retirement obligations. Additions to the asset and liability associated with our asset retirement obligations are measured at
fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our asset retirement obligations consist of the estimated present value of future costs to plug and
abandon or otherwise dispose of our oil and natural gas properties and related facilities. Significant inputs used in determining such
obligations include estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, inflation rates, discount rates, and well life, all of which are Level 3
inputs according to the fair value hierarchy. See “Note 8: Asset retirement obligations” for additional information regarding our asset
retirement obligations. The table below discloses the inflation and discount rate assumptions for the periods presented:
For the Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Low | High | Low | High | |||||
Inflation rate (1) | 2.55 % | 2.57 % | 2.45 % | 2.55 % | ||||
Credit adjusted risk-free discount rate | 7.28 % | 9.96 % | 7.21 % | 9.96 % | ||||
(1) The inflation rate is measured as a single rate on an annual basis.
Our significant financial instruments, other than derivatives, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, long-term debt and assets in our Rabbi Trust. We believe the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt and Rabbi Trust assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||

Rabbi Trust assets (3) | 6,090 | 6,090 | 2,184 | 2,184 | ||||
(1)The carrying value excludes deductions for debt issuance costs and discounts.
(2)The carrying value of our credit facility approximates fair value as the rates are comparable to those at which we could currently borrow
under similar terms, are variable and incorporate a measure of our credit risk
(3)The assets of the Rabbi Trust consists of investments in a variety of mutual funds, which are classified as Level 1 equity securities.

Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of derivative instruments and
accounts receivable. Derivative instruments are exposed to credit risk from counterparties. Our derivative contracts are executed with
institutions, or affiliates of institutions, all of whom are parties to our credit facility, and we believe the credit risks associated with all
of these institutions are acceptable. We do not require collateral or other security from counterparties to support derivative
instruments. Master agreements are in place with each of our derivative counterparties that provide the right to set off in the event of
default or termination of the contracts under each respective agreement. As a result of the set off provisions, our maximum amount of
loss under derivative transactions due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due from the counterparties under the derivatives. Our
loss is further limited as any amounts due from a defaulting counterparty that is a lender, or an affiliate of a lender, under our credit
facilities can be offset against amounts owed to such counterparty lender. As of December 31, 2024, the counterparties to our open
derivative contracts consisted of five financial institutions of which all five are also lenders under our Credit Agreement.
The following table summarizes our derivative assets and liabilities, which are offset in the consolidated balance sheets under our
master netting agreements.

We did not post additional collateral under any of these contracts. Payment on our derivative contracts could be accelerated in the
event of a default on our Credit Agreement. The aggregate fair value of our derivative liabilities subject to acceleration in the event of
default was $2.8 million at December 31, 2024.
Accounts receivable are primarily from purchasers of oil and natural gas products, and exploration and production companies who
own interests in properties we operate. The industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either
positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions.

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses (“NOLs”), is recognized when it is more likely than
not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and
judgment regarding our future taxable income, as well as the jurisdiction in which such taxable income is generated, to determine
26
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both
actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business
economics of our industry.
The Company realized three years of cumulative book income as of the year ended December 31, 2024. Furthermore, management
determined that the Company’s ability to maintain long-term profitability despite near-term changes in commodity prices and
operating costs have demonstrated there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that the net deferred
tax assets are realizable.
We will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence on a quarterly basis in determining the need for a valuation
allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets. Changes in positive and negative evidence, including differences between estimated
and actual results, could result in changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets that could have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements. Changes in existing tax laws could also affect actual tax results and the realization of deferred tax
assets over time. For the tax year ended December 31, 2024, the $0.8 million increase in valuation allowance is the result of changes
in actual results and future realizability.
We experienced an ownership change within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 as a result of the Chapter
11 reorganization that occurred in 2020. IRC Section 382 provides an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to
utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership.
We have federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,237.0 million at December 31, 2024, of which $780.2
million will expire at various times between 2028 and 2037 if not utilized in earlier periods. However, because of the 2017 Tax Act,
the federal net operating loss of $456.8 million generated after December 31, 2017 does not expire but may only offset 80% of taxable
income in any given year. At December 31, 2024, we have state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,709.3 million,
of which $926.7 million will expire at various times between 2028 and 2037 if not utilized in earlier periods. In addition, at December
31, 2024, we had federal percentage depletion carryforwards in excess of basis of approximately $13.7 million, which are not subject
to expiration.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no liability for uncertain tax positions with respect to federal or state income taxes. We
recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states, each with varying statutes of
limitations. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities
for years prior to 2021.
Note 10: Deferred compensation
Our deferred compensation includes cash awards and equity-based awards which are either settled in cash or in shares.
Cash Awards
From time to time, we have granted cash awards with long term service-based vesting requirements. We accrue for the cost
over the period that service is required to vest. The cash awards are subject to a graded vesting schedule over four annual installments
where expense is recognized under the accelerated method. Compensation cost for our cash awards is reflected in general and
27
Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and was $0.4 million for 2024 and $0.3 million for 2023.
Unrecognized cash award compensation cost is approximately $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding liability accrued for our long term service-based cash awards, based on requisite
service provided, was not material.
Equity Awards
In December 2020, we adopted the 2020 EIP, and in conjunction with the adoption, we issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to
participants. Currently, the 2020 EIP provides for the issuance of equity and/or equity based awards for up to 385,819 shares of
common stock in the aggregate with respect to awards of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or
stock bonus awards under the plan increased by 10,000 for potential awards to independent directors of the Board, provided, however,
that no more than 385,819 shares of common stock may be delivered in respect of Incentive Stock Options awarded under the Plan.
RSUs granted generally consists of RSUs subject to either a service-based vesting condition (the “Time Units”) or a combined
performance-based and market-based vesting condition (the “Performance Units”). The Time Units vest in one year or over four equal
annual installments. The Performance Units vest upon achievement of a change in control event that yields a threshold multiple of
investment, where different levels of the multiple of investment above the threshold result in different vesting percentages as follows:
Multiple of Investment | Vesting Percentage | |
< 1.50 | —% | |
1.50 | 20% | |
1.75 | 40% | |
2.00 | 60% | |
2.25 | 80% | |
2.50 | 100% |
In August 2021, the Company modified the provisions of its Performance Units to: (i) allow nonmonetary consideration received in
a change in control transaction to be included in the vesting calculation, where the vesting percentage will be based on the amount of
cash received when the nonmonetary consideration is eventually monetized and (ii) accommodate multiple monetization events
including dividends by aggregating them over time for purpose of vesting calculations. The Company categorized these revisions as a
Type IV modification under accounting guidance and hence compensation expense will be based on the fair value of the modified
award on the modification date with no regard to the fair value of the original award. The fair value of the modified award was
estimated to be $44.35 per unit.
The Time Units are to be settled in cash or shares at the Company’s election on the earlier of (i) the seventh anniversary of the
grant date or (ii) when a change in control occurs. The Performance Units are to be settled in cash or shares at the Company’s election
when a change in control occurs, assuming the multiple of investment threshold is met. Please see “Note 1: Nature of operations and
summary of significant accounting policies” for a discussion of our policies with respect to these RSUs.

Dividend equivalents
As disclosed in “Note 1: Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies” the Company paid cash dividends at
various times during 2024. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock in 2023. The 2020 EIP and the
grants made thereunder specify that, in the event cash dividends on common stock are paid, dividend equivalents are to be paid with
respect to outstanding equity grants and unallocated units.
Performance Units — Dividend equivalents are paid to participants immediately in cash and are not subject to any further vesting
requirement. The Company shall initially charge these dividends to retained earnings. However, since these dividend equivalents are
nonforfeitable and the Company's accounts for forfeitures when they occur, the Company shall reclassify to compensation cost, in the
period in which any forfeitures occur, the amount of dividend equivalents previously charged to retained earnings to the extent related
to awards that are forfeited.
Time Units — Dividend equivalents on all outstanding Time Units (vested and unvested) are paid in cash into the Rabbi Trust,
which is an irrevocable trust used to fund the Company's future obligations with respect to dividend equivalents that accrue to the
Time Units. The dividend equivalents are settled at the same time as settlement of the Time Units and only the portion of dividends
equivalents associated with vested units will be paid to the participant. Whenever forfeitures of Time Units occur, the portion of
dividend equivalents within the Rabbi Trust associated with the forfeited units are transferred to the Secular Trust. The assets of the
Rabbi Trust, which are to be invested in a variety of mutual funds and classified as equity securities, will be consolidated by the
Company. These assets are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in “Other income (loss), net” in our
consolidated statement of operations. The Company shall recognize a deferred compensation obligation for the portion of dividend
equivalents associated with vested Time Units, as each vesting occurs, with a corresponding charge to retained earnings.
Unallocated units — Dividend equivalents equal to the cash dividends that would otherwise have been paid with respect to
unallocated equity award units will be deposited into the Secular Trust. Funds held in the Secular Trust are meant to fund future
employee compensation actions under the 2020 EIP. The assets of the Secular Trust are consolidated by the Company and since the
funds are invested in money market securities, they will be included within cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance
sheet with interest income recognized as a component of “Other income (loss), net” in our consolidated statement of operations.

Stock-based compensation cost
Compensation cost is calculated net of forfeitures and we recognize the impact of forfeitures on expense due to employee
terminations as they occur. For awards with performance conditions, we assess the probability that a performance condition will be
achieved at each reporting period to determine whether and when to recognize compensation cost.
A portion of stock-based compensation cost associated with employees involved in our acquisition, exploration, and development
activities has been capitalized as part of our oil and natural gas properties. The remaining cost is reflected in lease operating and
general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense is as follows for
the periods indicated:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||

Unrecognized stock-based compensation cost of approximately $0.7 million as of December 31, 2024 is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. We do not expect to repurchase or settle in cash any RSUs in 2025.

Canvas Energy Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Valuation of Awards
Compensation cost is generally recognized and measured according to the grant date fair value of the awards. For our Time Units
with a service-based vesting condition, the fair value is based on the estimated value of our equity on the grant date, which is largely
driven by fair value estimates of our enterprise value and associated company liabilities. Our enterprise value is primarily driven by
the value of our oil and natural gas reserves at prevailing commodity strip prices on the valuation date. For our outstanding
Performance Units with a combination performance and market condition, we determine the fair value of this award by assuming that
a change in control occurs and then determining whether and to what extent the market condition is met by simulating future possible
stock prices and resulting vesting percentages. By utilizing Monte Carlo simulation, the Performance Unit valuation incorporates the
probability of vesting and the potential value of the award at vesting conditioned upon a change in control occurring. However, since a
change in control event is not believed to be probable prior to its occurrence, no expense is recognized until such event actually
occurs. When a change in control event occurs, the entire compensation cost related to these awards will be recognized regardless of
the number of shares that actually vest. As our common stock is not traded on a public market, a discount for lack of marketability is
applied to both Time Units and Performance Units.
The fair value and associated assumptions, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, for our RSUs
are as follows:
Valuation Date | ||||
Valuation assumptions of Time and Performance Units | June 1, 2022 (1) | December 31, 2021 | ||
Risk free rate | 2.96 % | 1.26 % | ||
Volatility | 62.6 % | 79.9 % | ||
Estimated fair value per Time Unit | $110.98 | $59.36 | ||
Estimated fair value per Performance Unit | $102.40 | $50.41 | ||
Time till change in control event (years) | 5 | 5 | ||
Discount for lack of marketability (Finnerty model) | 25% | 30% | ||
(1) The Company’s valuation assumptions have remained unchanged from 2022. Management considers these assumptions to be reasonable for
2023 and 2024 when given consideration to the limited number of grants and consistency of operation and size of the Company subsequent to 2022.
Note 11: Retirement benefits
We provide a 401(k) retirement plan for all employees and matched 100% of employee contributions up to 7% of each employee’s
gross wages during 2024 and 2023. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 68 employees participating in the plan. Our

Note 12: Revenue recognition
Description of products and revenue disaggregation
Our revenue is predominantly derived from the production and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs. Our oil and natural gas properties
are located in Oklahoma with our products sold to midstream gas processing plants or crude oil refineries in the vicinity or to gas
marketing entities. We have disaggregated revenue based on the separate commodities being sold: crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. In
selecting the disaggregation categories, we considered a number of factors such as those affecting supply and demand and thus market
prices, storage and the ability to transport the product, industry specific disclosures required by the FASB, other external disclosures
we typically make, and information we have historically presented in the management discussion and analysis section of our annual
and quarterly reports. As such, we believe that disaggregating revenue by commodity type appropriately depicts how the nature,
amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The following table displays the revenue disaggregated and reconciles the disaggregated revenue to the revenue reported:
Year Ended December 31, | ||||
(in thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | ||
Revenues: | ||||
Oil | $195,643 | $183,354 | ||
Natural gas | 45,552 | 56,459 | ||
Natural gas liquids | 60,136 | 64,733 | ||
Gross commodity sales | 301,331 | 304,546 | ||
Transportation and processing | (21,662) | (22,451) | ||
Total net commodity sales | $279,669 | $282,095 | ||
Performance Obligations
Our oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids contracts typically contain only one type of performance obligation, which is for the
delivery of the underlying commodity, and which is satisfied at the point in time the commodity is transferred to the customer. We
consider each commodity (e.g. barrel of oil or MMBtu of natural gas) to be a separate performance obligation. For natural gas and
natural gas liquids, we predominantly sell to midstream processing entities engaged in the processing of gas and marketing the
resulting residue gas and NGLs to third party customers. We also take a portion of our residue gas in-kind from midstream processing
entities which we sell to various energy marketing entities. The sale of the commodity to the midstream processing customer occurs at
the wellhead and we recognize revenue upon such delivery.
Under our oil sales contracts, we generally sell oil to the purchaser from storage tanks near the wellhead and collect a contractually
agreed upon index price, net of pricing differentials. We transfer control of the product from the storage tanks to the purchaser and
recognize revenue based on the contract price.
We do not engage in activities to purchase and sell third party commodity products. As a result, the commodity revenues we
recognize are only for our working interest share of the production.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Pricing and measurement
All of our contracts use market or index-based pricing resulting in the entire transaction price being variable. Since our sales
transactions meet the variable allocation criteria in the standard, all consideration is allocated entirely to performance obligations
satisfied by distinct commodity units delivered. We record revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However,
settlement statements for our commodity sales are received one to three months after the date production is delivered, and as a result,
we are required to estimate the amount of production that was 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 for product sales in the month that payment is
received from the purchaser. Historically, differences between our revenue estimates and actual revenue received have not been
significant. We receive payment for a majority of our sales receivables in the month following delivery and substantially all within
three months following delivery. For the year ended December 31, 2024, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to
performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
For our product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, we have utilized the practical expedient in the accounting
guidance, which states that a 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. Each unit of product delivered to the
customer 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. For our product sales that have a contract term of one
year or less, we have utilized the practical expedient in the accounting guidance, which states that a company is not required to
disclose 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.
Nature of gas contracts
Midstream processing plants, to which we sell our natural gas and natural gas liquids, deduct transportation and processing costs
from the sales proceeds remitted to us. These deductions are for costs to prepare and transport production from the wellhead to a
specified sales point and processing costs of gas into natural gas liquids. For gas sold at the wellhead, these costs are deducted from
gross sales to arrive at net sales (as disclosed in the table above), and for gas that we take in-kind at the tailgate of the processing plant,
these costs are recorded as operating expenses (as disclosed in our statement of operations). The Company takes a portion of its natural
gas production in-kind and sells that gas to various energy marketing entities.
Contract assets and liabilities
We recognize a receivable for the unconditional right to receive consideration when the commodity is transferred to the customer,
at which point the performance obligation is satisfied. All our contract assets are in the form of receivables which are presented as
“Commodity sales receivables” in our tabular disclosure of accounts receivable in “Note 1: Nature of operations and summary of
significant accounting policies.” Since we are not entitled to advance payments from our customers prior to the transfer of our
commodities nor do we receive such payments, we do not have contract liabilities.

Note 13: Leases
Financing leases
Our outstanding financing leases are for our fleet trucks and for a limited amount of office equipment. The fleet truck financing
obligations are for 30 to 48 month terms with the option for us to purchase the vehicle at any time during the lease term by paying the
lessor’s remaining unamortized cost in the vehicle. In many instances, at the end of the lease term, the lessor’s remaining unamortized
cost in the vehicle will be a de minimis amount and hence ownership of the vehicle can be transferred to us at minimal cost. There are
no residual value guarantees or non-lease components under these leases.
Operating leases
We commenced a lease on office space for our headquarters in February 2021 for a period of three years with annual rent of $0.4
million. The Company extended the lease in August 2023 for an additional two years, which extended the expiration date to January
2026.
Short term leases
Our short term leases are those with lease terms of 12 months or less and generally consist of wellhead compressors, generators
and drilling rigs with terms ranging from one month to six months. As discussed above, we have elected not to recognize right of use
assets or lease liabilities for leases with durations of 12 months or less.
Lease assets and liabilities
Our operating and financing lease assets and liabilities are recorded on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 as follows:

Discount rate
Whenever possible, we utilize the implied rate in our lease agreements to measure our lease liabilities. In the absence of a readily
available implied rate, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee
would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic
environment.

Litigation and Claims
The Company is currently named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma
(the “Court”), styled Wake Energy, LLC (“Plaintiff”) v Canvas Energy LLC. The case is a purported class action pursuant to which
the Plaintiff seeks to represent a group of persons who are alleged to be owed statutory interest on late paid revenues; however, the
purported class has not been certified yet. Specifically, the suit asserts claims in excess of $5.0 million for interest alleged to be due
under Oklahoma’s Production Revenue Standards Act. In December 2023, the Company and Plaintiff reached a memorandum of
understanding with respect to the settlement of the claims, and the full and final terms of a stipulation and agreement of settlement
were formalized in January 2024. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will, among other things, pay $4.5 million into a
settlement fund upon the Court’s entry of a final approval order. The final approval order will be preceded by certification of the
settlement class by the Court for the purposes of the settlement only, preliminary approval by the Court of the settlement, approval by
the Court of notices related to the settlement, the provision of notices to class members, and the opportunity for class members to opt
out of the settlement. The timing of these actions is largely dependent on the Court’s schedule. As of December 31, 2024, the
Company has recorded a $4.5 million accrual for the cost of this case, which is reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as
“Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.”
We are involved in various other legal proceedings including, but not limited to, commercial disputes, claims from royalty and
surface owners (including those alleging damages from induced earthquakes), property damage claims, personal injuries, quiet title
actions, personal injury claims, employment claims, and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the

outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect any of them individually to have a material
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Oil, Natural Gas, and NGL Reserve Quantities
The estimate of proved reserves and related valuations at the end of each period presented below were based upon the reports of
Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc., an independent petroleum and geological engineering firm, and our engineering staff. Users of
this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” crude oil and natural
gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and
economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous
factors, including additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of
production under varying economic conditions. Consequently, material revisions to existing reserve estimates occur from time to time.
The following prices for oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids before field differentials were used in determining our reserves:
2024 | 2023 | ||
Oil (per Bbl) | $75.48 | $78.22 | |
Natural gas (per Mcf) | $2.13 | $2.64 | |
Natural gas liquids (per Bbl) | $23.27 | $23.67 |

primarily due to 17.8 MMBoe of extensions and discoveries. These were partially offset by negative revisions including 7.1 MMBoe
due to a decrease in year-end SEC commodity prices for oil and natural gas and price realizations, as well as 8.9 MMBoe from the
Company’s production during 2024.
2023 Activity. Proved reserves decreased from 86.4 MMBoe at December 31, 2022 to 83.5 MMBoe at December 31, 2023,
primarily due to a decrease in revisions of 4.5 MMBoe, as well as 9.0 MMBoe from the Company's production during 2023. The
Company also had positive revisions including extensions and discoveries of 10.7 MMBoe.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Related to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
The assumptions used to derive the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows are those required by accounting
standards and do not necessarily reflect the Company's expectations. The information may be useful for certain comparative purposes
but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Furthermore, information contained in the
following table may not represent realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the standardized measure of discounted future
net cash flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company's reserves.
Future cash inflows and future production and development costs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were determined by applying
the average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for the 12 months of the year and year-end costs to the estimated quantities of natural
gas, oil and NGL to be produced. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower than the prices and costs used. For
each year, estimates are made of quantities of proved reserves and the future periods during which they are expected to be produced
based on continuation of the economic conditions applied for that year. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present
value amounts by applying a 10% annual discount factor. The summary below presents our future net cash flows relating to proved
oil, natural gas and NGL reserves based on the standardized measure (in thousands):
Year Ended December 31, 2024 | Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |

Note 16: Subsequent events
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company amended provisions of its Performance Units (see “Note 10: Deferred compensation”) to
(i) provide for the vesting of Performance Units in the absence of a change in control if, at the seventh anniversary of the grant date,
the cumulative cash distributions plus, as appropriate, the fair market value of the equity retained in the Company exceed performance
thresholds and (ii) avoid a partial cash-out change in control resulting in the forfeiture of Performance Units if cash proceeds to that
date plus residual Company equity exceed performance thresholds. As a result, the Company expects to re-value the Performance
Units in 2025 in accordance under Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Stock Compensation”.
