Chaparral Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CHAP) is an independent oil and natural gas
exploration and production company headquartered in Oklahoma City. Founded in
1988, Chaparral has over 212,000 net surface acres in the Mid-Continent region.
The Company is focused in the oil window of the Anadarko Basin in the heart of
Oklahoma, where it has approximately 114,000 net acres (our "Focus Areas").

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding our
financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, as well as the current trends and uncertainties relevant
to the Company's future financial and operational performance. The information
should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report as well as
the information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2019.

Statements in our discussion may be forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. We caution that a
number of factors could cause future production, revenues and expenses to differ
materially from our expectations. For more information, see "Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."


Early 2020 Activity



Early in the first quarter of 2020, Chaparral management began a comprehensive
cash improvement effort. The initiative, which involves the formation and
collaboration of multiple working teams, was intended to identify, validate and
implement opportunities to improve the Company's cash flow across all parts of
its business: drilling and completions capital expenditures, lease operating
expenses, production uptime and efficiency, development planning, and general
and administrative expenses. Many of the measures identified by the teams were
implemented and expanded cash flow at the project level. However, because of the
extraordinary and unprecedented events affecting the oil and gas industry
discussed below, the benefits - which are scale-dependent - were not able to
achieve their full potential.

Macroeconomic Developments and Their Impact on the Oil and Gas Industry



The energy industry has recently experienced two significant external forces
that have impacted, and are anticipated to continue impacting, both day-to-day
operations and the macro environment. The COVID-19 outbreak and voluntary and
mandatory quarantines, travel restrictions and other restrictions throughout the
United States and other parts of the world have resulted in decreased demand for
crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. Additionally, in March 2020, the group of oil
producing nations known as OPEC+ failed to reach an agreement over proposed oil
production cuts due to the decrease in global demand for oil stemming from the
COVID-19 pandemic (the oil price war). Although the members of OPEC+ eventually
reached an agreement to reduce their oil production beginning in May 2020 and
continuing through April 2022, there remains significant uncertainty regarding
the future actions of OPEC+, its members and other state-controlled oil
companies related to oil price and production controls, including anticipated
increases in supply from Russia and other members of OPEC+, particularly Saudi
Arabia.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased volatility and caused negative
pressure in the capital and credit markets. As a result, we have not had the
sort of access to the capital and credit markets that was once available to us.
That lack of access to financing compounded the impact of the depressed
commodity price environment triggered by COVID-19 and the oil price war.

Chaparral's Response and 2020 Outlook



In response to the depressed commodity price environment, Chaparral has taken
material and unusual actions to maximize the value of its assets and improve its
financial position. Because the Company had (a) a strong hedge position for
crude oil in 2020, the terms of which did not require the physical delivery of
any oil or gas and (b) no material volume commitments or other contractual
obligations to produce oil or gas, we determined that it was not prudent or
necessary to continue developing our inventory or to sell all of our products at
the prevailing low market prices.

Shut-ins and Drilling Suspension. We suspended all drilling and stimulation operations in early April 2020, deferring completions of recently drilled wells. Further, the Company shut in the six-well Greenback pad that came online in early March even though it


                                       36
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


was performing above expectations. The Company subsequently shut in operated
production that is not associated with waterfloods or exposed to well-specific
mechanical or other risks during the months of May and June 2020.

In order to facilitate a swift restart of sales, we took steps in April to
increase crude storage in the tank batteries at our operated lease locations. As
tank batteries filled, the majority of our operated production was curtailed.
Furthermore, as part of the April 2020 shut-in, we implemented procedures and
precautions to protect mechanical and reservoir integrity and to minimize the
cost and timing of resuming production. We wanted to ensure that production
could be resumed efficiently on these shut-in wells once commodity prices
recover sufficiently. With improved crude prices in June 2020, the Company began
a phased restart to the curtailed production and by the end of the month nearly
all our operated wells had returned to production.

Hedging. The Company entered 2020 with a strong hedge position for crude oil in
2020. As prices declined sharply due to COVID-19 and the initial lack of a
coordinated response from OPEC+ to cut production, we generated $22.9 million
and $32.1 million in realized derivative gains for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020, respectively. However, we were unable to enter into new
hedges during the second quarter of 2020 as a result of a restriction imposed on
us by our hedging counterparties (who are also lenders under our Credit
Agreement) while our Borrowing Base Deficiency (as described below) remained
uncured. In July 2020, we terminated all our outstanding derivatives, which we
discuss further below.

Liquidity and capital resources



Effect of Shut-ins and Drilling Suspension on Cash Flow from Operations. Our
primary sources of liquidity have historically been cash flows generated from
operating activities, financing provided by our revolving credit facility or
issuance of debt, and proceeds from hedge settlements. As a result of shutting
in a substantial number of our producing wells and suspending drilling and
stimulation operations, cash flows generated from our operating activities
declined significantly. This decline was partially offset by (a) the related
reductions in expenses and capital expenditures and (b) proceeds from hedge
settlements.

Proceeds from Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes Interest Payment. In
order to address the net reduction in cash flows discussed above, we
significantly increased our cash balance by borrowing an additional $105 million
at the beginning of April 2020. These borrowings were made as a precautionary
measure to increase our cash position and provide operational flexibility in the
current challenging business environment. The April 2020 borrowings increased
the total amount outstanding under our Credit Agreement to $250.0 million.

Borrowing Base Deficiency and Past Due August Deficiency Payment. Shortly after
we made these borrowings in April 2020, our lenders made an interim
redetermination of the Company's borrowing base, reducing the borrowing base
from $325.0 million to $175.0 million, effective April 3, 2020. The combination
of the borrowing base reduction and our April 2020 borrowings created a $75.0
million borrowing base deficiency under the Credit Agreement (the "Borrowing
Base Deficiency"). In accordance with the Credit Agreement, we elected to follow
a procedure that permitted the Company to repay the $75.0 million deficiency in
six equal monthly installments of $12.5 million, beginning in early May 2020.
Since making that election, we have made three deficiency payments, for a total
of $37.5 million. However, we did not make the fourth installment payment of
$12.5 million that was due on August 3, 2020 (the "August Deficiency Payment").
The failure to make that payment on time resulted in an immediate event of
default under the Credit Agreement, as well as under the cross-default
provisions of the Indenture.

Past Due Interest Payment on the Senior Notes. On July 15, 2020, the Company
elected not to make the $13.125 million interest payment on the Senior Notes due
on that day (the "Past Due Interest Payment"). Under the Indenture, the Company
has a 30-day grace period to make the Past Due Interest Payment before that
non-payment becomes an event of default. The Company subsequently did not make
the Past Due Interest payment upon expiration of the 30-day grace period on
August 14, 2020. Even though the Indenture provides for a 30-day grace period to
make the Past Due Interest Payment, the failure to make that interest payment on
its due date of July 15, 2020 constituted an immediate event of default under
cross-default provisions of the Credit Agreement. The subsequent failure to make
that interest payment upon expiration of the 30-day grace period on August 14,
2020 constituted an event of default under the indenture governing our Senior
Notes (the "Indenture").

Lender Forbearance Agreement. On July 15, 2020, in order to address the
cross-default that resulted under the Credit Agreement from the failure to
timely pay the Past Due Interest Payment, the Company entered into a Limited
Forbearance Agreement with the lenders under its Credit Agreement. The Limited
Forbearance Agreement was amended effective as of July 24, 2020, by the First
                                       37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Amendment to Limited Forbearance Agreement (the "First Amendment") and was
further amended effective July 29, 2020 by a
Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment" and, as amended, such Limited
Forbearance Agreement, the "Lender Forbearance
Agreement"). On August 14, 2020, the Lender Forbearance Agreement was further
amended by a Third Amendment (the "Third Amendment" and, as amended, such Lender
Forbearance Agreement, the "Final Lender Forbearance Agreement").

Pursuant to the Final Lender Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders agreed, during
the forbearance period, to forbear from exercising any remedies under the Credit
Agreement for any default or event of default resulting from any failure by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries to make all or any part of the Past Due
Interest Payment (including the failure to make such payment during the 30-day
grace period therefor). The Final Lender Forbearance Agreement also includes
forbearance for the Company's failure to timely pay the August Deficiency
Payment under the Credit Agreement and the failure to timely deliver the
quarterly financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020 and the
required accompanying officer's certificate.

The forbearance period under the Final Lender Forbearance Agreement began on
July 15, 2020 and was scheduled to expire on July 29, 2020, unless terminated
earlier in accordance with its terms. The scheduled expiration of the
forbearance period was later extended to August 9, 2020 and, by mutual agreement
between the Company the administrative bank for the credit facility, extended
further to August 14, 2020. The Third Amendment resulted in an final extension
of the forbearance period to August 17, 2020.

Required Termination of Hedges and Partial Paydown of Credit Agreement. The
Final Lender Forbearance Agreement required the Company to terminate all of its
outstanding commodity hedges or before July 31, 2020 and to apply a certain
portion of the proceeds thereof toward partial repayment of the outstanding
amount under the Credit Agreement. To comply with this requirement, the Company
unwound all of its hedge positions, resulting in total proceeds of $28.2 million
(taking into account previously-settled hedge positions). Of this amount, $24.0
million was applied toward repayment on outstanding credit facility borrowings
and the remainder was retained by the Company.

Noteholder Forbearance Agreement. Effective as of July 30, 2020, to address the
Company's expected cross-default under the Indenture resulting from the failure
to timely pay the August Deficiency Payment under the Credit Agreement, the
Company and the holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of outstanding
Senior Notes (the "Initial Consenting Noteholders") entered into a Forbearance
and Waiver Agreement (the "Noteholder Forbearance Agreement"). The forbearance
period under the Noteholder Forbearance Agreement began on July 30, 2020 and was
scheduled to expire on August 14, 2020.

Pursuant to the Noteholder Forbearance Agreement, the Initial Consenting
Noteholders agreed, during the forbearance period, to forbear from exercising
certain remedies under the Indenture (including acceleration) for any default or
event of default resulting from any failure by the Company to pay the August
Deficiency Payment under the Credit Agreement on or before August 3, 2020.

On August 14, 2020, the Company and the Initial Consenting Noteholders amended
and restated the Noteholder Forbearance Agreement (such amendment and
restatement, the "Amended and Restated Noteholder Forbearance Agreement").
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Noteholder Forbearance Agreement, the
Initial Consenting Noteholders agreed to extend the forbearance period to August
17, 2020 and to additionally forbear from exercising certain remedies under the
Indenture (including acceleration) for any default or event of default resulting
from any failure by the Company to make the required interest payment of $13.125
million within the 30-day grace period described above.

Impact of Impending Expiration of Forbearance Periods. Both the Final Lender
Forbearance Agreement and the Amended and Restated Noteholder Forbearance
Agreement are scheduled to expire on August 17, 2020. Therefore, before either
of those forbearance agreements expired, the Company was effectively required to
either (i) make a voluntary bankruptcy filing to take advantage of the automatic
stay under Chapter 11 or (ii) make both the $12.5 million August Deficiency
Payment and the $13.125 million Past Due Interest Payment.

Restructuring Support Agreement and the Chapter 11 Cases. On August 15, 2020, we
entered into a restructuring support agreement (the "RSA") with (i) the lenders
under our Credit Agreement and (ii) certain holders of our Senior Notes (the
"Restructuring Support Parties"). Pursuant to the RSA, the Restructuring Support
Parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the RSA, to vote to
accept our prepackaged Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (as proposed, our
"Plan of Reorganization"). Our Plan of Reorganization and the related disclosure
statement (the "Disclosure Statement") were each filed with the Bankruptcy Court
on August 16, 2020. For more information on the RSA, see "Note 11: Subsequent
events" in "Item 1: Financial Information" of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.

                                       38
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The commencement of a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy through our filing of
the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an immediate event of default under the Credit
Agreement and the Senior Notes, resulting in immediate acceleration of
outstanding amounts under these debt instruments. Any efforts to enforce payment
obligations related to the Company's debt, including the acceleration thereof,
have been automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the
creditors' rights of enforcement are subject to the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code. Furthermore, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases caused the
immediate termination of the Final Lender Forbearance Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Noteholder Forbearance Agreement.

To maintain and continue uninterrupted ordinary course operations during the
bankruptcy proceedings, the we filed a variety of "first day" motions seeking
approval from the Bankruptcy Court for various forms of customary relief
designed to minimize the effect of bankruptcy on our operations, customers and
employees. Upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the orders approving all
requested "first day" relief, we will be able to conduct normal business
activities and pay all associated obligations for the period following our
bankruptcy filing and (subject to caps applicable to payments of certain
pre-petition obligations) pre-petition employee wages and benefits, pre-petition
amounts owed to certain lienholders and vendors, royalty interest and working
interest holders, and partners. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all
transactions outside the ordinary course of our business require the prior
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern



The Company projects that it will not have sufficient cash on hand or available
liquidity to repay all debt that was accelerated through the filing of the
Chapter 11 Cases. These conditions along with the significant risks and
uncertainties related to the Company's liquidity and the Chapter 11 Cases raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Exit Facility



Pursuant to the RSA, on the effective date of our Plan of Reorganization, the
remaining borrowings under the Credit Agreement will constitute outstanding
amounts under a $300,000 exit credit facility (the "Exit Facility"). The Exit
Facility will include (A) second out term loans (the "Second Out Term Loans") in
an amount to be determined, which will have a maturity date that is one year and
91 days following the Revolving Maturity Date (defined below) and (B) a
revolving facility (the maturity date of which will be the earlier of May 31,
2024 or 40 months after emergence (the "Revolving Maturity Date")) that has an
initial borrowing base equal to (i) the lesser of (a) $175,000 or (b) the
Company's proved developed producing reserves on a PV-15 basis, plus hedges, on
6-month roll-forward basis minus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Second Out
Term Loans. There must be a minimum of $20,000 of availability under the Exit
Facility at emergence.

Finance leases

We currently have financing leases that consist of fleet trucks and office equipment. Please see "Note 17: Leases" in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a discussion of these leases.

Sources and uses of cash

Our net change in cash is summarized as follows:

                                                                       Six months ended June 30,

Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities            $     (9,419)          $     58,105
Cash flows used in investing activities                               (51,403)              (144,924)
Cash flows provided by financing activities                            94,364                 82,021
Net increase (decrease) in cash during the period                $     33,542           $     (4,798)


Our cash flows from operating activities are derived substantially from the
production and sale of oil and natural gas. Cash flows from operating activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was an outflow of $9.4 million,
decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to a reduction in
gross revenues, liability management expenses that we incurred and working
capital changes. These cash flow decreases were partially offset by lower lease
operating expenses and production taxes.

Our cash flows from investing activities typically consist of cash outflows for
capital expenditures, cash inflows from asset dispositions and derivative
settlement payments or receipts. During 2020, we relied on borrowings from our
credit facility, derivative receipts and cash on hand to fund our capital
expenditures.

Our actual costs incurred, including costs that we have accrued for during the
six months ended June 30, 2020, are summarized in the table below.
(in thousands)                                                Six months ended June 30, 2020

(3)For the six months ended June 30, 2020, this amount includes $2.9 million for
capitalized general and administrative expenses, and $3.9 million for
capitalized interest.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020
consisted of cash outflows for capital expenditure of $86.9 million partially
offset by receipts for derivative settlements of $32.1 million and proceeds from
asset sales of $3.4 million. Our cash outflows for capital expenditure are
greater than our actual costs incurred for the period, disclosed in the table
above, as a result of payments in the current period for expenditures accrued at
the end of the prior year. Our asset sale proceeds primarily consisted of
proceeds from equipment, vehicles and real estate previously classified as
held-for-sale on our balance sheet. Net cash used in investing activities during
the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of cash outflows for capital
expenditure of $146.4 million partially offset by receipts for derivative
settlements of $0.7 million and proceeds from asset sales of $0.9 million.

Net cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020,
consisted of borrowings on our credit facility of $120.0 million partially
offset by cash outflows of $25.5 million for repayment of debt, including
financing leases, and $0.1 million for debt financing fees. Net cash from
financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019, consisted of
borrowings on our credit facility of $85.0 million partially offset by cash
outflows for repayment of debt and financing leases of $1.8 million and for
treasury stock repurchases of $1.2 million.

Contractual obligations



We have numerous contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business
including debt service requirements, operating leases, financing leases, well
drilling obligations and purchase obligations. Our operating leases currently
consist of an office space lease at our headquarters and our financing leases
consist of leases on our fleet vehicles and office equipment. We have a well
drilling commitment under the terms of leasehold purchase agreements which we
entered into in 2017. The drilling commitment requires the Company to drill and
complete 10 wells on such leasehold in each of 2019, 2020, and 2021 and 15 wells
in 2022. To the extent the
                                       40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Company does not drill and complete the minimum number of wells in a given year,
it is required to pay the sellers of the acreage $250,000 for each deficient
well. The Company has paid the deficiency amount related to its 2019 drilling
commitment and recorded accruals of $2.5 million in March 2020 and $6.3 million
in June 2020 for the remaining obligation as it does not intend to drill any
further wells on the subject acreage.

Surety bonds totaling $2.1 million were posted on our behalf as of March 31,
2020. We pay premiums for such bonds and, under normal circumstances, are not
required to post collateral of any kind to support their issuance. However, as a
result of the current extraordinary macroeconomic situation and the Borrowing
Base Deficiency discussed above, we have been required to post cash collateral
in respect of the bonds totaling $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020.

Other than additional borrowings under our credit facility and the Borrowing
Base Deficiency described in "Note 4: Debt" in "Item 1: Financial Information"
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the termination of our derivative
contracts in July 2020, we have not had material changes to our contractual
commitments since December 31, 2019.

Results of operations

Highlights

Our financial and operating performance in the second quarter of 2020 includes the following highlights and comparisons to the prior year quarter:



•We generated a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020, of $438.7
million. Included in our loss was a ceiling impairment of $384.6 million.
•Our loss on commodity derivatives for the three months ended June 30, 2020, of
$13.0 million was attributable to $35.9 million of noncash mark-to-market losses
partially offset by $22.9 million in realized settlement gains.
•Our net sales volume decreased 34% to 1,689 MBoe for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year quarter as we curtailed capital
development and shut-in wells for a portion of the quarter in response to low
commodity prices.
•We lowered our lease operating expense by 55% to $6.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year quarter. The
corresponding change on a per Boe basis was a decrease of 32% to $3.58/Boe.
•We incurred liability management expenses of $8.0 million from our activities
to restructure our debt and in preparation for our Chapter 11 Case.
•Our oil and natural gas capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30,
2020, were $64.9 million, with $42.8 million incurred for drilling and
completions and $11.1 million on acquisitions. Our capital activity during the
first half of the year included completing and bringing online 15 wells, of
which nine were drilled in the current year and six in the prior year. We also
drilled three wells scheduled to be completed subsequent to quarter end.
•As a result of the defaults on our Senior Notes and Credit Agreement, we
classified the entire outstanding amounts on those facilities as current
liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, our total net sales decreased compared
to the prior year quarter. The decreases were primarily due to our shut in of
wells for a portion of the quarter as a result the low pricing environment, our
suspension of capital development in late April 2020, and natural decline. The
previously mentioned measures were taken as a response to the drastic commodity
price declines we have experienced recently as a result of COVID-19. For the six
months ended June 30, 2020, our total sales was approximately flat compared to
the prior year period as the sales decline in the second quarter discussed above
was offset by sales increases primarily due to 38 operated wells that were
brought online since the second quarter of 2019.

Revenues and transportation and processing



Our commodity sales are derived from the production and sale of oil, natural gas
and natural gas liquids. These revenues do not include the effects of derivative
instruments and may vary significantly from period to period as a result of
changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices.
The following table presents information about our sales volumes and revenues
before the effects of commodity derivative settlements:

Our gross commodity sales (excluding transportation and processing deductions)
decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year
quarter due to volume and price decreases across all commodities. Our commodity
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020, decreased compared to the prior
year period due to price decreases across all commodities and a decrease in
crude oil volumes partially offset by volume increases for natural gas and NGLs.

our revenues.

Transportation and processing revenue deductions principally consist of
deductions by our customers for costs to prepare and transport production from
the wellhead to a specified sales point and processing costs of gas into natural
gas liquids. Transportation and processing deductions for the three months ended
June 30, 2020, were lower than the prior year quarter due primarily to decreases
in natural gas and natural gas liquids volumes sold. Transportation and
processing deductions for the six months ended June 30, 2020,

gas and natural gas liquids volumes remaining relatively flat over the two
periods.
Derivative activities

Our results of operations, financial condition and capital resources are highly
dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural
gas. These commodity prices are subject to wide fluctuations and market
uncertainties. To mitigate a portion of this exposure, we have entered into
various types of derivative instruments, including commodity price swaps and
costless collars.

Our realized prices are impacted by realized gains and losses resulting from
commodity derivatives contracts. The following table presents information about
the effects of derivative settlements on realized prices:

Our derivative portfolio, which was in a net liability position at the end of
2019, reverted to a net asset of $17.2 million as of June 30, 2020. The change,
which also corresponds to the non-cash fair value adjustment gain of $33.3
million in the table below, is primarily due to the steep decline in crude oil
forward prices brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effects of derivative activities on our results of operations and cash flows were as follows:

We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our derivative instruments. As a
result, all gains and losses associated with our derivative contracts are
recognized immediately as "Derivative gains (losses)" in our consolidated
statements of operations. The fluctuation in derivative gains (losses) from
period to period is due primarily to the significant volatility of oil, NGL and
natural gas prices and to changes in our outstanding derivative contracts during
these periods.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Lender Forbearance Agreement, on July 27,
2020, the Company terminated all its outstanding derivative contracts. Proceeds
from the early termination along with amounts owed to the Company from
previously settled positions totaled $28.2 million.

Lease operating expenses ("LOE") are sensitive to changes in demand for field
equipment, services, and qualified operational personnel, which is driven by
demand for oil and natural gas. However, the timing of changes in operating
costs may lag behind changes in commodity prices. LOE for the three months ended
June 30, 2020 was lower on a total dollar basis and on a per Boe basis compared
to the prior year quarter. The quarter over quarter decline in total LOE was
primarily due to a decrease in water hauling costs and reduced costs for well
maintenance. Our reduced well maintenance costs were primarily attributable to
our shut-ins of wells as part of our response to low commodity pricing. In
addition to these factors, LOE on a per Boe basis was also lower because of
increased production in areas with lower per Boe costs. LOE for the six months
ended June 30, 2020 was lower on a total dollar basis and on a per Boe basis due
to the same factors described above.

Production taxes for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 were
lower than the prior year periods due to a decrease in commodity revenues driven
by volume and price declines as discussed above. The corresponding decreases on
a per Boe basis were primarily a result of lower commodity prices and a greater
percentage of revenues being derived from gas volumes, which yield a lower
revenue per Boe compared to crude oil and NGLs.

_________________________________________

(1)Includes accretion of asset retirement obligations



We adjust our DD&A rate on oil and natural gas properties each quarter for
changes in our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and costs. Oil and
natural gas DD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased
compared to the prior year periods due to lower production and a lower DD&A
rate. The DD&A rate declined due to prior ceiling test write-offs, which lowered
the full cost amortization base, and a reduction in future development costs as
certain undeveloped reserves have been dropped from the amortization base as a
result of being uneconomic in the current price environment.

Net G&A for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased from the prior year
quarter primarily due to credit losses, severance for terminated employees,
sales tax interest and penalties, partially offset by a decrease in payroll and
benefits and stock compensation expense. Payroll and benefits were lower as a
result of a reduction in headcount. Stock compensation expense was lower because
our executive stock grants awarded prior to August 2019 were front loaded for
three-year periods and subject to accelerated cost recognition which results in
higher expense early during the life of a grant with graded vesting. In
addition, stock compensation expense was also lower due to recent forfeitures.
Our credit losses were recorded as we increased our allowance for uncollectible
receivables pursuant to new accounting guidance that requires us to forecast
uncollectible amounts under an "expected loss" model as well as in consideration
of current industry conditions that have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. We
incurred interest and penalties due to a nonpayment of sales tax in connection
with the divestiture of our enhanced oil recovery business in 2017.

Net G&A for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased from the prior year period due to the same factors discussed above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Capitalized G&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was lower than
the prior year periods as we reduced our capitalization rates to reflect our
reduction of capital activity in response to the current price environment.

The table below discloses amounts related to the items discussed above.

Full-cost ceiling impairment

Energy commodity prices are volatile and a decline in commodity prices
negatively impacts our revenues, profitability, cash flows, liquidity (including
our borrowing base availability), and reserves, which could lead us to consider
reductions in our capital program, asset sales or organizational changes. Prices
we receive are determined by prevailing market conditions, regional and
worldwide economic and geopolitical activity, supply versus demand, weather,
seasonality and other factors that influence market conditions and often result
in significant volatility in commodity prices. We mitigate the effects of
volatility in commodity prices primarily by hedging a portion of our expected
production when permitted, focusing on a competitive cost structure and
maintaining flexibility in our capital investment program with limited long-term
commitments.

Price volatility also impacts our business through the full cost ceiling test
calculation. The ceiling test calculation dictates that we use the unweighted
arithmetic average price of crude oil and natural gas as of the first day of
each month for the 12-month period ending on the balance sheet date. Since the
prices used in the cost ceiling are based on a trailing 12-month period, the
full impact of price changes on our financial statements may not be recognized
immediately but could be spread over several reporting periods.

                                                                                                               Six months ended June

(in thousands)                                         2020                  2019               2020                 2019
Ceiling impairment                              $      384,639           $  63,593          $ 456,010          $   113,315



We recorded a ceiling test impairment on our oil and natural gas properties for
the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to a write-off of the value of
non-producing acreage in Garfield and Kingfisher counties, in Oklahoma, and a
decrease in the prices of all commodities used to estimate our reserves. Our
ceiling test impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was driven
largely by the same factors.

The commodity prices used to estimate our reserves are as follows:

June 30,      March 

31, December 31,


    Benchmark prices utilized in ceiling test          2020          2020             2019
    Oil (per Bbl)                                   $ 47.17       $  55.77       $     55.69
    Natural gas (per MMBtu)                         $  2.07       $   2.30       $      2.58
    Natural gas liquids (per Bbl)                   $ 11.29       $  14.97       $     16.21



As discussed above, our ceiling test impairment during the second quarter of
2020 was impacted by the write-off of the value of non-producing acreage in
Garfield and Kingfisher counties, Oklahoma, that we no longer intend to develop
as a result of poor drilling economics based on our outlook on long term
commodity pricing and historical well performance. Impairments of leasehold
result in a transfer of amounts from unevaluated oil and natural gas properties
to the full cost amortization base subsequently impacting the ceiling test.
During the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2020, impairments of
non-producing leasehold, which include expirations, were $216.2 million and
$218.7 million, respectively.

                                       48
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The precipitous crude oil price decline caused by COVD-19 has resulted in a
first of the month price in April and May 2020 of $20.31/Bbl and $19.78/Bbl,
respectively with a modest recovery to $40.83/Bbl in August 2020. If commodity
prices remain at their current level, decline, or do not recover to a level
above $47.00/Bbl, we expect the trailing 12-month average price to decline as
2020 progresses and we believe that it is probable that we would record further
ceiling test impairment losses in 2020. In addition to commodity prices, our
production rates, levels of proved reserves, estimated future operating
expenses, estimated future development costs, transfers of unevaluated
properties and other factors will determine our actual ceiling test calculation
and impairment analyses in future periods. Please see "Note 1: Nature of
operations and summary of significant accounting policies and going concern" in
"Item 1. Financial Statements" of this report for further discussion of our
ceiling test.

Income taxes



We did not record any net deferred tax benefit for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2020, as any deferred tax asset arising from the benefit is
reduced by a valuation allowance as utilization of the loss carryforwards and
realization of other deferred tax assets cannot be reasonably assured. Please
see "Note 12: Income Taxes" in "Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary
Data" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,
which contains additional information about our income taxes.

As a result of the Prior Reorganization Plan and related transactions, upon
emergence from bankruptcy, we experienced an ownership change within the meaning
of Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 382 which subjected certain of the
Company's tax attributes, including our federal net operating loss
carryforwards, to an IRC Section 382 limitation. If we were to experience an
additional "ownership change," our ability to offset taxable income arising
after the ownership change with net operating losses ("NOLs") generated prior to
the ownership change would be limited, possibly substantially. See "Note 1:
Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies and going
concern" in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this report for our discussion of
the Section 382 limitation.

Other income and expenses

Interest expense. The following table presents interest expense for the periods
indicated:

                                               Three months ended June 30,                                          30,

Bank fees, other interest and
amortization of issuance costs                      843                1,292               1,845                 2,635
Interest expense, gross                           9,629                8,692              18,583                16,748
Capitalized interest                             (1,582)              (3,121)             (3,900)               (6,613)
Total interest expense                    $       8,047           $    5,571          $   14,683          $     10,135
Average borrowings                        $     539,012           $  391,405          $  492,926          $    362,557



Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was higher
than the prior year quarter due to both an increase in gross interest expense as
well as a reduction in capitalized interest. Gross interest was higher due to
increased borrowings on our credit facility as reflected in the average
borrowings disclosed in the table above. We capitalize interest based on the
carrying value of our unevaluated non-producing leasehold excluding any amounts
that are the result of our fresh start fair value adjustment. Capitalized
interest for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was lower than the prior year
period due to a lower average carrying balance on unevaluated non-producing
leasehold, for which a large portion was written off recently.

Reorganization items. Reorganization items reflect, where applicable, expenses,
gains and losses incurred that are incremental and a direct result of the
reorganization of the business resulting from the Prior Chapter 11 Cases and
Prior Reorganization Plan. The reorganization items disclosed in our
consolidated statement of operations consist of professional fees for continuing
legal work to resolve outstanding claims and fees to the U.S. Bankruptcy
Trustee, which we will continue to incur until both the Prior Chapter 11 Cases
and the Chapter 11 Cases are closed.

Liability management expenses. Liability management expense includes third party
legal and professional service fees incurred from our activities to restructure
our debt and in preparation for our Chapter 11 Cases.

                                       49
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Litigation loss. The expense consists of our estimate of the settlement costs
for the Naylor Farms Case as discussed (and defined) in "Note 10: Commitments
and Contingencies" in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this report.

Subleases expenses. The expense consisted of our expense on operating leases for
CO2 compressors that we subleased to another operator. Both originating leases
and subleases were terminated during the third quarter of 2019.

Write off Senior Note issuance costs. Our filing of the Chapter 11 Cases
triggered an event of default on our Senior Notes. The event of default
effectively allows the lender to demand immediate repayment, thus shortening the
life of our Senior Notes to the current period. As a result, we wrote off the
remaining balance of unamortized issuance costs.

Non-GAAP financial measure and reconciliation



Management uses adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) as a supplemental financial
measurement to evaluate our operational trends. Items excluded generally
represent non-cash and/or non-recurring adjustments, the timing and amount of
which cannot be reasonably estimated and are not considered by management when
measuring our overall operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is
generally consistent with the EBITDAX calculation that is used in the Ratio of
Total Debt to EBITDAX covenant under our credit facility. We consider compliance
with this covenant to be material.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measurement in the
evaluation of our business and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income, as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to cash
flows from operating activities, or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA
is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and,
accordingly, it may not be a comparable measurement to those used by other
companies.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income, adjusted to exclude (1) asset
impairments, (2) interest and other financing costs, net of capitalized
interest, (3) income taxes, (4) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (5)
non-cash change in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, (6) interest
income, (7) stock-based compensation expense, (8) gain or loss on disposed
assets, (9) impairment charges, (10) other significant, unusual non-cash charges
and (11) certain expenses related to our restructuring, cost reduction
initiatives, reorganization, severance costs and fresh start accounting
activities, some or all of which our lenders have permitted us to exclude when
calculating covenant compliance.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA for
the specified periods:

Our credit facility requires us to maintain a current ratio (as defined in
Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The definition of current assets
and current liabilities used for determination of the current ratio computed for
loan compliance purposes differs from current assets and current liabilities
determined in compliance with GAAP. Since compliance with financial covenants is
a material
                                       50

requirement under our Credit Agreement, we consider the current ratio calculated
under our Credit Agreement to be a useful measure of our liquidity because it
includes the funds available to us under our Credit Agreement and is not
affected by the volatility in working capital caused by changes in the fair
value of derivatives. The following table discloses the current ratio for our
loan compliance compared to the ratio calculated per GAAP:
