CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that represent management’s beliefs and assumptions based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, need for financing, competitive position and potential growth opportunities. Our forward-looking statements do not consider the effects of future legislation or regulations. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believes,” “intends,” “may,” “should,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “targets” or comparable terminology or by discussions of strategy or trends. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot give any assurances that these expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements by their nature involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, and actual future results could differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements.

Among the factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially are the risks and uncertainties discussed in this report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. While it is not possible to identify all factors, we continue to face many risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to:

•fluctuations in the price we receive for our oil, gas, and NGL production, including local market price differentials;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced demand for oil and natural gas, economic slowdown, governmental and societal actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and stay-at-home orders or illness that may cause interruptions to our operations;

•cost and availability of gathering, pipeline, refining, transportation and other midstream and downstream activities and our ability to sell oil, gas, and NGLs, which may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic;

•severe weather and other risks and lead to a lack of any available markets;

•risks related to our recently completed Merger, including challenges associated with integrating operations and diversion of management’s attention to Merger-related issues;

•our ability to successfully complete mergers, acquisitions and divestitures;

•the risk that the Company's EOR project may not perform as expected or produce the anticipated benefits;

•risks relating to our operations, including development drilling and testing results and performance of acquired properties and newly drilled wells;

•any reduction in our borrowing base from time to time and our ability to repay any excess borrowings as a result of such reduction;

•the impact of our derivative instruments and hedging activities;

•continuing compliance with the financial covenants contained in our credit agreement;

•the loss of certain federal income tax deductions;

•risks associated with executing our business strategy, including any changes in our strategy;

•inability to prove up undeveloped acreage and maintaining production on leases;

•risks associated with concentration of operations in one major geographic area;

•deviations from our forecasts and budgets, including our 2021 capital expenditure budget;

•the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and other oil exporting nations to agree to, adhere to and maintain oil price and production controls;

•legislative or regulatory changes, including initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing, emissions, and disposal of produced water, which may be negatively impacted by the recent change in Presidential administration or legislatures;

•the ability to receive drilling and other permits or approvals and rights-of-way in a timely manner (or at all), which may be negatively impacted by the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on regulatory employees who process and approve permits, other approvals and rights-of-way and which may be restricted by new Presidential and Secretarial orders and regulation and legislation;

•risks related to litigation; and

•cybersecurity threats, technology system failures and data security issues.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved or occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and the price and cost assumptions made by our reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development drilling. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. ("Riley Permian", "REPX", "the Company", "Registrant", "we", "our", or "us") is a growth-oriented, independent oil and natural gas company focused on growing our conventional reserves, production and cash flow per share through the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") in the Permian Basin. Our activities are primarily focused on the San Andres Formation, a shelf margin deposit on the Northwest Shelf. The Company was formed to focus on opportunities (i) with favorable reservoir and geological characteristics primarily for oil development, (ii) that offer large contiguous acreage positions with significant untapped potential in terms of ultimate recoverable reserves and (iii) with a high degree of operational control. Our acreage is primarily located on large, contiguous blocks in Yoakum County, Texas with additional acreage located in Lea and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico.

On February 26, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Riley Exploration Permian, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Tengasco, Inc. (“Tengasco”)), consummated the previously announced Merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 21, 2020, by and among Tengasco, Antman Sub, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Tengasco (“Merger Sub”), and Riley Exploration – Permian, LLC (“REP LLC”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 20, 2021, by and among Tengasco, Merger Sub and REP LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into REP LLC, with REP LLC surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tengasco (collectively, with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”). On the Closing Date, the Registrant changed its name from Tengasco, Inc. to Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. Our organizational structure includes wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries through which our operations are conducted. In addition, REP LLC elected two of the Board seats of REPX, which are our Chief Executive Officer and a representative of Yorktown Energy Partners ("Yorktown"), along with also appointing two independent directors to the board. TGC elected their Chief Executive Officer, who is now our Chief Financial Officer, as the final board seat.

Current Commodity Environment

During 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, spread quickly across the globe. Federal, state and local governments mobilized to implement containment mechanisms and minimize impacts to their populations and economies. Various containment measures, which included the quarantining of cities, regions and countries, resulted in a severe drop in general economic activity with a decrease in energy demand.

Currently, oil and natural gas operations are considered essential in the State of Texas and New Mexico, and the Company has not had any significant disruptions in operations.

This outbreak and the related responses of governmental authorities and others to limit the spread of the virus significantly reduced global economic activity, resulting in a significant decline in the demand for oil and other commodities. These factors caused a swift and material deterioration in commodity prices for a majority of 2020, which significantly impacted our revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. However, near the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021, oil prices steadily increased but are expected to continue to be volatile as these events evolve. The Company cannot estimate the full length or gravity of the future impacts at this time and if there is another significant decline in oil price, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and the value of oil and natural gas reserves.

CARES Act and Consolidated Appropriations Act

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), and on December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act. These Acts are meant to provide fast and direct economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses, and preserve jobs for American industries. The Company evaluated the outlook of its future operations, current financial position and liquidity and determined not to take the relief provided by the CARES Act and the Consolidated Appropriations Act.

Tennessee Land & Mineral Corporation ("TLMC"), and Manufactured Methane Corporation ("MMC"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger. The historical operations of REP LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of REP LLC prior to the Merger; (ii) the consolidated results of the Company following the Merger; (iii) the assets and liabilities of REP LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for all periods presented. As of June 22, 2021, REM and REP LLC consummated an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby REM was merged into REP LLC with REP LLC as the surviving entity.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with REP LLC's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2020, included in the Company's current report on Form 8-K/A filed on April 22, 2021.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented, which adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, except as disclosed herein. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, for various reasons, including as a result of the impact of fluctuations in prices received for oil and natural gas, natural production declines, the uncertainty of exploration and development drilling results, fluctuations in the fair value of derivative instruments, the impacts of COVID-19 and other factors.

(3)Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying condensed notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Company considers reasonable in the particular circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the Company’s estimates. Any effects on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable and accrued operating expenses, the fair value determination of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, certain tax accruals and the fair value of derivatives.

Accounts Receivable

Business Combinations

In accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), the Company accounts for its acquisitions that qualify as a business using the acquisition method under ASC 805. If the set of assets and activities is not considered a business, it is accounted for as an asset acquisition using a cost accumulation model. In the cost accumulation model, the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.

The Company includes the results of operations of acquired businesses beginning on the respective acquisition dates. In accordance with the acquisition method under ASC 805, the Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values. This fair value measurement is based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The excess of the purchase price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. The excess value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired over the purchase price of an acquired business is recorded as a bargain purchase gain.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefit arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified or separately recognized. Goodwill is initially recognized as the excess of the purchase price of a business combination over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is tested for impairment annually in accordance with ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), or more frequently if there is a change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be recoverable.

The Company recognized goodwill of $19.1 million from the Merger. The Company assessed the oil and natural gas properties acquired through the Merger as a separate reporting unit (the "Kansas Reporting Unit") and therefore allocated the full goodwill amount to the Kansas Reporting Unit. In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to divest the Kansas Reporting Unit which is made up primarily of the oil and natural gas properties acquired, which includes producing oil wells, shut-in wells, temporarily abandoned wells, and active disposal wells (the "Kansas Properties"). The Company did not fully integrate the Kansas Reporting Unit into the Company's operations since it was deemed to be held for sale upon acquisition. See further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures.

In accordance with ASC 350, the impairment test should occur at the reporting unit level determined by the Company and an impairment should only exist if the Company has determined the carrying value of the goodwill no longer exceeds the implied fair value. A two-step goodwill impairment test should be used to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure such impairment, if any. The first step is a qualitative assessment which the Company will determine whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If the Company determines it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill, then step two is a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill.

The Company assessed the goodwill balance as of March 31, 2021 for impairment since the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA") on March 10, 2021 for $3.5 million before closing adjustments. See further discussion in Note 13 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale. At the closing of the Merger, the Kansas Reporting Unit was initially recorded at fair value using a discounted cash flow method of valuation in accordance with ASC 805. The carrying value of the Kansas Reporting Unit was $22.0 million, which included allocated goodwill of $19.1 million. The Company concluded the implied fair value of the Kansas Reporting Unit was $3.5 million in accordance with ASC 350 since the Company entered into a PSA shortly after the Kansas Reporting Unit was deemed held for sale. The carrying value exceeded the implied fair value at the time of the closing of the Merger. As such, the Company concluded the goodwill balance associated with the Kansas Reporting Unit was impaired and recognized a goodwill impairment loss, included within loss from discontinued operations, of $18.5 million for the nine months ending June 30, 2021.

The Company recognized transaction costs of $0.3 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. These costs relate to the fees incurred for the Merger. See further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Income Taxes

Upon closing of the Merger on February 26, 2021, Tengasco was renamed to Riley Exploration Permian, Inc. and REP LLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Riley Exploration Permian, Inc., the consolidated company. In addition, Riley Permian became a C-corporation which is subject to current federal and state income taxes, including Texas Margin Tax. See further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures. The Company recorded a provision for federal and state income taxes as of June 30, 2021. See further discussion in Note 12 - Income Taxes.

Riley Permian uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, which requires the establishment of deferred tax accounts for all temporary differences between: (i) financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using currently enacted federal and state income tax rates, and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In addition, deferred tax accounts must be adjusted to reflect new rates if enacted into law.

Realization of deferred tax assets is contingent on the generation of future taxable income. As a result, management considers whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such assets will be realized during periods when they are available, and if not, management provides a valuation allowance for amounts not likely to be recognized.

Management periodically evaluates tax reporting methods to determine if any uncertain tax positions exist that would require the establishment of a loss contingency. A loss contingency would be recognized if it were probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimates and management’s judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately incurred for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. There are no unrecorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions related to the Company as of the periods ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes accounting requirements for the recognition of credit losses from an incurred or probable impairment methodology to a Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including but not limited to trade receivables. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU effective October 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through receivables that result from oil and natural gas sales. Estimates of expected credit losses for accounts receivables consider factors such as historical collection experience, credit quality of our customers and current and future economic and market conditions.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of this amendment is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes of the financial statements. This ASU removes certain disclosure requirements around transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, modifies certain reporting requirements around Level 3 fair value measurements and investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, and adds certain disclosure requirements for Level 3 fair value measurements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU effective October 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 840): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)) that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 allows, among other things, certain contract modifications, such as those within the scope of Topic 470 on debt, to be accounted as a continuation of the existing contract. This ASU was effective upon issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. This standard did not have any effect on the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2021. The Company will continue to evaluate the effect of this standard on future reporting periods through December 31, 2022.

(4)Acquisitions and Divestitures

Business Combination Between REP LLC and Tengasco

Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger on February 26, 2021, REP LLC converted all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units into common units of REP LLC. In connection with the Merger, holders of common units of REP LLC were entitled to receive, in exchange for each common unit, shares of common stock of Tengasco (which was renamed Riley Exploration Permian, Inc.), par value $0.001 per share (“Tengasco common stock”) based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), with cash paid in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares. The Exchange Ratio was 97.796467 shares of Tengasco common stock for each common unit of REP LLC (as adjusted for the reverse stock split). Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Tengasco effected a 1-for-12 reverse stock split resulting in outstanding common stock of approximately 17.8 million shares including shares of Tengasco common stock issued in the Merger. See further discussion in Note 10 – Members'/Shareholders' Equity.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and on the Closing Date, each restricted share of common stock issued to holders of restricted common units in REP LLC in the Merger were issued under the 2021 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2021 LTIP"). See further discussion in Note 10 – Members'/Shareholders' Equity.

The combination between REP LLC and Tengasco qualified as a business combination, with REP LLC being treated as the accounting acquirer. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company acquired approximately 11,000 net acres (unaudited) located in central Kansas. The acquisition included the Kansas Properties which included 153 producing oil wells, 19 shut-in wells, 6 temporarily abandoned

wells, and 36 active disposal wells. The Company also acquired all onsite production management and field personnel as a result of the Merger. See further discussion in Note 13 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale. The fair value measurements of the oil and natural gas properties acquired and asset retirement obligations assumed were derived utilizing an income approach and based, in part, on significant inputs not observable in the market. These inputs represent Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and include, but are not limited to, estimates of reserves, future commodity prices, future development, future operating costs, future cash flows and the use of weighted average cost of capital. These inputs required the use of significant judgments and estimates at the date of valuation.

The consideration paid in the Merger by REP LLC as the accounting acquirer totaled approximately $26.4 million and was determined based on the closing price of Tengasco’s common stock on February 26, 2021 and the total number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger. The following table summarizes the purchase price or consideration for the Merger (presented in thousands, except per share amounts).

						Consideration
Tengasco common stock price						$	29.64
Tengasco common stock - issued and outstanding as of February 26, 2021						891
Total consideration						$	26,392

The Company incurred approximately $4.8 million of related costs to date for the Merger, of which $0.3 million and $3.4 million was expensed for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 as transaction costs on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Included in the above costs, the Company incurred success fees of $1.75 million upon closing of the Merger which is included within transaction costs on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The majority of these fees were paid at closing with approximately $0.3 million being paid 30 days after closing.

The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to a substantial increase in the stock price of Tengasco as of the date the Merger closed, which increased the amount of the consideration transferred. The Company did not integrate the acquisition and the acquisition met the assets held for sale criteria on the Closing Date. See further discussion in Note 13 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.

Post-Acquisition Operating Results

Net loss attributable to the operations of the assets and liabilities acquired in the Merger of $115 thousand was included in discontinued operations on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. On April 2, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of the Kansas Reporting Unit with an effective date of March 1, 2021. A net loss of $1.0 million and $19.6 million on discontinued operations, net of taxes, was included in the net loss attributable to discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Pro Forma Operating Results

The following pro forma combined results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 reflect the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the Merger had occurred on October 1, 2019. The pro forma information includes adjustments for $3.4 million of transaction costs being reclassified to the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 instead of $0.2 million, $2.2 million, and $1.0 million of transaction costs recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company adjusted for $0.9 million of oil and natural gas property impairment Tengasco recognized under the full-cost method of accounting, which would not have been recognized under the successful efforts method, during the three months ended December 31, 2020. Also, the pro forma information has been

The pro forma combined financial information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or to be indicative of the combined results of operations that the Company would have reported had the Merger been completed as of October 1, 2019 and should not be taken as indicative of the Company's future combined results of operations. The actual results may differ significantly from that reflected in the pro forma combined financial information for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences in assumptions used to prepare the pro forma combined financial information and actual results.

Acquisitions

On December 20, 2019, the Company acquired 1,237 net acres (unaudited) in Yoakum County, Texas. The acquisition included 17 total wells, with 11 producing and 6 salt water disposals, for a total purchase price of $3.3 million, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of a PSA with J. Cleo Thompson and James Cleo Thompson, Jr., L.P. The effective date of the transaction was August 1, 2019. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASU 2017-01 and was therefore recorded based on the total consideration paid, with value assigned to unproved oil and natural gas properties, capitalized asset retirement cost and ARO.

Divestitures

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a PSA to sell the Kansas Reporting Unit for an agreed upon purchase price of $3.5 million (subject to certain adjustments), contingent upon certain conditions to closing. The effective date of the sale was March 1, 2021. On April 2, 2021, the Company closed on the sale of the Kansas Reporting Unit for an agreed upon purchase price of $3.5 million, plus approximately $0.2 million of closing adjustments. See further discussion in Note 13 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.

(6)Derivative Instruments

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Contracts

The Company uses commodity based derivative contracts to reduce exposure to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices. While the use of these contracts limits the downside risk for adverse price changes, their use may also limit future revenues from favorable price changes. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we have not designated our derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company's oil and natural gas derivative instruments consisted of the following types:

•Fixed Price Swaps – the Company receives a fixed price for the contract and pays a floating market price to the counterparty over a specified period for a contracted volume.

•Costless collars – the combination of a put option (fixed floor) and call option (fixed ceiling), with the options structured so that the premium paid to purchase the put option is offset by the premium received from the sale of the call option. If the market price exceeds the call strike price or falls below the put strike price, we receive the fixed price and pay the market price. If the market price is between the put and the call strike price, no payments are due from either party.

•Basis Protection Swaps – Basis swaps are settled based on differences between a fixed price differential and the differential between the settlement prices of two referenced indexes. We receive the fixed price differential and pay the differential between the referenced indexes.

(7)Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values of financial instruments comprising cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accounts receivable and related party accounts receivable approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value reported for the revolving line of credit approximates fair value because the underlying instruments are at interest rates which approximate current market rates.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with the fair value hierarchy include the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations, the fair value of oil and natural gas properties, and goodwill when acquired in a business combination or assessed for impairment.

The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured on a nonrecurring basis on the acquisition date using an income valuation technique based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. Significant inputs used to determine the fair value include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future commodity prices; (iii) operating and development costs; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The underlying commodity prices embedded in the Company's estimated cash flows are the product of a process that begins with NYMEX forward curve pricing, adjusted for estimated location and quality differentials, as well as other factors that the Company’s management believes will impact realizable prices. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation.

The fair value of asset retirement obligations incurred and acquired during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, totaled approximately $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The fair value of additions to the asset retirement obligation liabilities is measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, which converts future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include: (i) $50 thousand estimated plug and abandonment cost per well for all oil and natural gas wells and $52 thousand for estimated plug and abandonment cost per well for all disposal wells for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020; (ii) a 28 year and 27 year weighted average by fair value of the estimated remaining life per well for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020; (iii) future inflation factors; and (iv) our average credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 5.17% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs.

If the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. The fair value of our oil and natural gas properties is determined using valuation techniques consistent with the income and market approach. The factors used to determine fair value are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, recent sales prices of comparable oil and natural gas properties, the present value of future cash flows, net of estimated operating and development costs using estimates of proved reserves, future commodity pricing, future production estimates, anticipated capital expenditures, and various discount rates commensurate with the risk and current market conditions associated with the expected cash flow projected. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs.

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, equity securities are required to be classified outside of permanent equity in temporary equity if they are redeemable or may become redeemable for cash or other assets. As the Company was not considered to have sole control over the contractually mandated redemption during the year ended September 30, 2020 since the Series A Preferred Units were set for redemption in 2024 prior to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Units into common units and exchange of common units for common stock in the Merger, the Series A Preferred Units were classified as mezzanine equity prior to their conversion for the period in which they were outstanding.

(12) Income Taxes

REP LLC was organized as a limited liability company and treated as a flow-through entity for federal income tax purposes. As such, taxable income and any related tax credits were passed through to its members and are included in their tax returns, even though such taxable income or tax credits may not have been distributed. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company’s tax status changed from a limited liability company to a C-corporation. As a result, the Company is responsible for Federal and State income taxes and must record deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax effects of any temporary differences that exist on the date of the change. See further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures. When push down accounting does not apply as part of a business combination, GAAP requires the effect of the change in tax status to be recognized in the financial statements and the effect is included in income (loss) from continuing operations. Accordingly, a provision for federal and state corporate income taxes has been made only for the operations of REP LLC from February 27, 2021 through March 31, 2021 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company established a $13.6 million provision for deferred income taxes with the conversion to a C-corporation.

The components of the Company's consolidated provision for income taxes from continuing operations are as follows:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Nine Months Ended June 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020
						(In thousands)
Current income tax expense:
Federal						$	(780)					$	—					$	—					$	—

Total income tax expense						$	3,245					$	319					$	16,953					$	319

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Nine Months Ended June 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020

Effective income tax rate						(18.8)		%				—		%				(38.0)		%				—		%

The Company's federal income tax returns for the years subsequent to September 30, 2017 remain subject to examination. The Company's income tax returns in major state income tax jurisdictions remain subject to examination for various periods subsequent to September 30, 2017. The Company currently believes that all other significant filing positions are highly certain and that all of its other significant income tax positions and deductions would be sustained under audit or the final resolution would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company has not established any significant reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code limits the utilization of U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards following a change in control. The Merger caused a stock ownership change for purposes of Section 382. Subject to an approximate annual limit, the Company has federal net operating losses of $10.2 million of which $4.7 million will expire beginning in 2022 with $5.5 million of the NOL's do not expire. We believe it is more likely than not the tax benefit of these net operating losses will be fully realized, as such no valuation allowance has been recorded. The deferred tax assets for the net operating losses are presented net with deferred tax liabilities, which primarily consist of book and tax depreciation differences.

(13) Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

Kansas Reporting Unit

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into a PSA to divest of the Kansas Reporting Unit for an agreed upon purchase price of $3.5 million before certain closing adjustments. In addition, the Company also agreed to assign to the buyer its lease associated with Tengasco's former corporate office in Greenwood Village, Colorado. With Tengasco qualifying as a business and the Kansas Reporting Unit making up a significant portion of the assets of Tengasco, the Company concluded that the transaction met the requirements of assets held for sale and discontinued operations upon the acquisition date. The effective date of the sale was March 1, 2021 and the sale closed on April 2, 2021 for the agreed upon purchase price, plus approximately $0.2 million in net closing adjustments.

The following table presents the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations as of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021:

						Tengasco
						Three Months Ended June 30, 2021						Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021

For further discussion of revenues and expenses included in discontinued operations, see further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures.

(14) Net Income (Loss) Per Share/Unit

Net income (loss) per share/unit is calculated using a retroactive application of the Exchange Ratio and the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Certain restricted shares of the Company met the criteria of a participating security. The Company calculated net income or loss per share/unit using the two-class method.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

On May 14, 2020 the Company, associated with the predecessor Tengasco entity, received notice of three orders (the “Orders”) issued by the Regional Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (“BSEE”) of the Department of the Interior dated May 13, 2020, stating that the Company, together with a group of several other named parties, were being looked to by the BSEE to perform the decommissioning of facilities on three Gulf of Mexico leases owned by Hoactzin Partners, L. P. ("Hoactzin") and other lessees due to Hoactzin’s default in its lease obligations to decommission such facilities. No monetary amount was sought or described in the Orders. Hoactzin is controlled by Peter E. Salas, the chairman of Tengasco’s Board of Directors prior to the Merger. Management’s assessment of the likelihood of a loss is remote as the Company believes it has available defenses to the Orders. On August 21, 2020, the bankruptcy court in the Northern District of Texas in Dallas entered an agreed order requiring Hoactzin, the surety on Hoactzin’s bonds, and seven other working interest owners (a group not including the Company) to complete all the necessary decommissioning on all of Hoactzin’s facilities and to prepay all anticipated expenses, including insurance premiums and a contingency reserve, estimated to be necessary to do so. The bankruptcy trustee has reported that all funds to be paid have been received from all parties to the agreed order.

(Unaudited)

Decommissioning is proceeding under the direction of the bankruptcy trustee and approved contractors under the control of the bankruptcy court. Accordingly, it is anticipated that all work contemplated by the Orders will be completed by, and at the expense of, other persons and the relief sought in the Orders for the Company to perform the work will at that time have no impact to the Company. On May 13, 2021, a notice of default was sent by BSEE to the Company relating to Hoactzin’s failure to complete its decommissioning obligations for certain of the terminated leases and wells that are subject to the Orders. On May 21, 2021, the bankruptcy trustee requested an extension to the decommissioning deadline relating to several wells referenced in the subject Orders. Included with the BSEE extension request was a project status update for the decommissioning obligations, which indicated that several obligations had either already been completed or were well underway and proceeding to completion. On June 7, 2021, BSEE granted an extension to complete the remaining decommissioning obligations for the subject leases no later than August 31, 2021. No other enforcement actions have been taken by BSEE. The Company will continue to monitor the ongoing completion of the decommissioning obligations.

Due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company may at times be subject to claims and legal actions. The Company accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred, and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date and the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters. The Company did not recognize any material liability as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Management believes it is remote that the impact of such matters will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. These laws, which are often changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. The Company recorded no environmental liabilities as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

(16) Subsequent Events

On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Truist Securities, Inc., as the representative of the other several underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement. On July 2, 2021, the Company issued 1,666,667 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $46.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses paid by the Company.

On July 9, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2021 of $0.28 per share of common stock, payable on August 6, 2021 to its stockholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2021.

On July 14, 2021 and July 30, 2021, the Company utilized $11.5 million and $24 million, respectively, to pay down the revolving credit facility to $62 million.

Overview

We operate in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry and are focused on steadily growing conventional reserves, production and cash flow through the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) primarily in the Permian Basin. The Company’s activities are primarily focused on the San Andres Formation, a shelf margin deposit on the Central Basin Platform and Northwest Shelf.

Financial and Operating Highlights

Financial and operating results reflect the following:

•Increased total net equivalent production by 35% to 9.1 MBoe/d for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020

•During the fiscal third quarter of 2021, drilled 7 gross (4.8 net) horizontal wells and 1 gross (1 net) vertical injection well; completed 5 gross (2.8 net) horizontal wells

•Realized average composite price on commodities of $50.18 per Boe, before derivative settlements, during the fiscal third quarter of 2021, including $64.55 per barrel for oil

•Realized average composite price on commodities of $40.86 per Boe, including derivative settlements, during the fiscal third quarter of 2021

•Generated cash flow from continuing operations of $58.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021

•Total cash capital expenditures before acquisitions of $40.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021

•Paid cash common dividends of $5.0 million on May 7, 2021; and announced latest dividend of $0.28 per share with a record date of July 23, 2021, which was paid August 6, 2021, for a total of $5.5 million

•Exited the third quarter with $6.9 million in cash and $97.5 million drawn on our credit facility; subsequently reduced credit facility borrowings to $62 million in July 2021

Recent Developments

Market Conditions and Commodity Prices

The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken to address and limit the spread of the virus significantly reduced global economic activity, resulting in a significant decline in the demand for and prices of crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas.

The Company cannot estimate the full length or gravity of the future impacts at this time and if there is another significant decline in oil price, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity and the value of oil and natural gas reserves.

The Company has developed and implemented a number of safety measures, which have successfully kept our workforce healthy and safe. The Company has established an informational campaign to provide employees an understanding of the virus risk factors and safety measures, as well as timely updates from governmental stay-at-home regulations. Expectations have also

been set for employees to communicate immediately if they, or someone they have been in contact with, has experienced symptoms or tested positive for COVID-19. Additional measures include distribution of educational material regarding health and safety guidance, limiting access to common areas within the office, ensuring social distancing guidance by relocating personnel, and other guidelines as recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local authorities.

EOR Project

The Company began initial operations during May 2021 on its enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) project, which will utilize a combination of water and CO2 injection, applied to horizontal producing wells at its core asset in Yoakum County, Texas (“EOR Project”). This asset is directly adjacent to several of the largest EOR projects in the U.S., which have employed EOR techniques for many decades.

Recent Transactions

On April 7, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on May 12, 2021, in connection with the offer and sale from time to time (each, an “Offering” and, collectively, the “Offerings”) as set forth in the Registration Statement, the form of prospectus contained therein and one or more preliminary or final supplements to the Prospectus (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”), of the following securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000,000: (i) by the Company of an indeterminate aggregate amount of securities consisting of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $0.001, which may be issued in one or more series (any such shares being offered by the Company are hereinafter referred to as the “Primary Shares”); or (ii) by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement or any other selling stockholders to be identified in one or more Prospectus Supplements of up to 16,721,922 shares of Common Stock on the terms to be determined at the time of each Offering. On July 2, 2021, the Company issued 1,666,667 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per share. Net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $46.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses paid by the Company.

2021 Capital and Operating Plan

We expect our fiscal 2021 capital budget to be approximately $60 million to $66 million, which we believe is consistent with our capital allocation framework, and which we believe will be funded entirely by operating cash flow and proceeds of the stock offering.

Lease Operating Expenses

The Company’s lease operating expenses ("LOE"), which include ad valorem taxes, increased by $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, $0.9 million of the increase was attributable to an increase in production volume and $1.1 million was attributable to higher cost on a unit basis. LOE for the fiscal third quarter of 2020 was low on account of reduced activity following the sharp downturn in commodity prices at the time, while LOE incurred during the fiscal third quarter of 2021 is more representative of normalized activity. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, $2.7 million of the increase was attributable to an increase in production volume, partially offset by $0.5 million of savings from lower costs on a unit basis.

Production Tax Expense

Production taxes increased by $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, due to increases in commodity sales.

Exploration Expense

Exploration expense decreased by $4.0 million and $0.5 million, or 59% and 6% respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred lower expiration of oil and natural gas lease expense in the Montaña field compared to the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, geological and geophysical costs decreased and the Company incurred lower expiration of oil and natural gas lease expense in the Montaña field, partially offset by an increase in expiration of oil and natural gas lease expense in the Champions field compared to the same period in 2020.

Depletion, Depreciation, and Accretion Expense

Depletion, depreciation, and accretion expense increased by $2.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2020.

Depletion and amortization expense for proved oil and natural gas properties increased by $1.9 million and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, $1.1 million and $1.2 million was attributable to higher production and $0.8 million and $2.0 million was attributable to higher capitalized costs.

General and Administrative Costs

Total G&A costs increased by $2.6 million and $5.9 million, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2020. Administrative costs, which include payroll, benefits and non-payroll costs, increased by $2.1 million and $0.5 million, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2020. The increase in administrative costs was primarily attributable to public company costs following completion of the Merger. Share-based/unit-based compensation expense increased by $0.5 million and $5.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2020. The increase is primarily attributable to restricted shares awarded to certain executives and employees following completion of the Merger.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs were $0.3 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The transaction costs are predominately related to various costs incurred for the Merger. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of the Merger.

Income Tax Provision

REP LLC became a taxable entity as a result of its Merger with Tengasco on February 26, 2021. See further discussion in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures. While REP LLC was organized as a limited liability company, taxable income passed through to its unit holders. Accordingly, a provision for federal and state corporate income taxes has been made only for the operations of REP LLC in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the future tax consequences or benefits of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements using enacted tax rates. Upon the Merger into a corporation on February 26, 2021, the Company established a $13.6 million provision for deferred income taxes, of which $1.0 million and $0.2 million is currently a tax benefit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021. The majority of this deferred tax liability was established by a change in tax status which primarily was attributable to the oil and natural gas properties. See Note 12 - Income Taxes to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of income taxes.

Gain/Loss on Derivatives

The Company recognizes settlements and changes in the fair value of its derivative contracts as a single component of other income (expenses). We have multiple crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts that settle against various indices. We record commodity derivative gains/losses as the index pricing and forward curves change each period. The following table disaggregates the Company's gain (loss) on derivatives presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Gain (loss) on derivatives						$	(35,396)					$	(14,205)					$	(74,208)					$	36,999

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal liquidity requirements are to finance its operations, fund capital expenditures and acquisitions, make cash distributions and satisfy any indebtedness obligations. Cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the level of oil and natural gas production and prices, and the significant capital expenditures required to more fully develop the Company’s oil and natural gas properties. We expect that our liquidity and capital resource needs will be met by our sources of liquidity, which as of June 30, 2021, included cash on hand, operating cash flow, and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and, subsequent to June 30, 2021, included the issuance of equity. For more information on our revolving credit agreement please see Note 9 – Revolving Credit Facility in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1. Financial Statements.

Cash on hand and operating cash flow can be subject to fluctuations due to trends and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Likewise, our ability to issue equity and our ability to obtain credit facilities on favorable terms may be impacted by a variety of market factors as well as fluctuations in our results of operations. For more information on conditions impacting our liquidity and capital resources, see “Recent Developments.” For further discussion of risks related to our liquidity and capital resources, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on March 30, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 filed on May 17, 2021.

On July 2, 2021 the Company completed the offering of 1,666,667 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $30.00 per common share. The Company received net proceeds of $46.7 million from the sale of the common stock, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses paid by the Company. The Company intends to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this offering to fund drilling and infrastructure for the Company’s EOR Project. In addition, the Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from this offering for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes, which may include financing of capital expenditures, financing acquisitions or investments, repayment or refinancing of outstanding debt, financing other business opportunities, and working capital purposes. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company utilized $35.5 million to pay down the Revolving Credit Facility to $62 million. The Company intends to draw on the Revolving Credit Facility in order to fund the initial phases of the EOR Project.

Working Capital

Working capital is the difference in our current assets and our current liabilities. Working capital is an indication of liquidity and potential need for short-term funding. The change in our working capital requirements are driven generally by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, commodity prices, credit extended to, and the timing of collections from customers, the level and timing of spending for expansion activity, and the timing of debt maturities. As of June 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $43.3 million. This deficit is primarily attributable to $36.3 million in current derivative liabilities and $17.1 million of accrued liabilities. We utilize our Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand to manage the timing of cash flows and fund short-term working capital deficits.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from continuing operations:

						Nine Months Ended June 30,
						2021						2020
						(In thousands)
Statement of Cash Flows Data from Continuing Operations:
Net cash provided by operating activities						$	58,841					$	49,509
Net cash used in investing activities						(39,366)						(46,202)
Net cash used in financing activities						(18,151)						(6,115)
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents						$	1,324					$	(2,808)

Operating Activities

The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities increased by $9.3 million or 19% to $58.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from $49.5 million for the same periods in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenues of $41.1 million and an increase of $1.5 million in changes in working capital, partially offset by a $25.3 million decrease in net cash received for settlements of commodity derivative contracts and an increase in cash operating expenses of $8.0 million.

Investing Activities

The Company's cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $6.8 million or 15% to $39.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 from $46.2 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower capital spending related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties by $4.6 million and lower additions to oil and natural gas properties by $2.3 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash flow used in financing activities was $18.2 million during the nine months ending June 30, 2021, or an increase of $12.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2020. The largest use of cash, at $12.8 million, was the payment of dividends on common stock and units. The second largest use of cash flow was the net repayment of $3.5 million on the credit facility, as compared to net proceeds of $7.0 million in the same period in 2020. The Company also paid $1.5 million of dividends on the preferred units, which were paid in conjunction with the conversion of such units to common stock as part of the Merger compared to $0 in the same period in 2020 – see Note 11 – Preferred Units to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of the preferred units.

On February 4, 2021, the Board of Managers of REP LLC declared a $3.8 million cash dividend, paid on February 5, 2021. The cash dividend was declared for all issued and outstanding common units, including vested and unvested under the 2018 LTIP of REP LLC.

On March 4, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per common share on all of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 16, 2021. The dividend was paid on May 7, 2021 for a total of $5.0 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Board of Directors declared on July 9, 2021 a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per common share on all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2021. The dividend was paid August 6, 2021 for a total of $5.5 million.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions may also affect disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom, the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties, accounts receivable and accrued operating expenses, the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities, income tax provisions and the fair value of derivatives.

Changes in facts and assumptions or the discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and it is at least reasonably possible these estimates could be revised in the near term and these revisions could be material.

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant areas requiring the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates include (1) oil and natural gas reserves; (2) cash flow estimates used in impairment testing of oil and natural gas properties; (3) depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, or DD&A; (4) asset retirement obligations; (5) assigning fair value and allocating purchase price in connection with business combinations; (6) accounts receivable; (7) valuation of commodity derivative instruments; (8) accrued liabilities; and (9) income tax provisions. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates as described below. The primary objective of the following information is to provide quantitative and qualitative information about the Company's potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, natural gas and NGL prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. All of the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than speculative trading.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s major market risk exposure is in the pricing that we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGL production, and primarily our oil production. Pricing for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs have been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices we receive for our oil, natural gas and NGLs depend on many factors outside of our control, such as the strength of the global economy and global supply and demand for the commodities we produce.

The Company’s minimum hedging requirement was 50% of PDP volume over the next 24 month period as of June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had a net liability derivative position of $47.2 million and a net asset derivative position $21.9 million, respectively, related to our price swaps and collars, to reduce price volatility associated with certain of our oil and natural gas sales. These instruments provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices and may partially limit our potential gains from future increases in prices. With respect to these fixed price swap contracts, the counterparty is required to make payment to the Company if the settlement price for any settlement period is less than the swap price, and we are required to make a payment to the counterparty if the settlement price for any settlement period is greater than the swap price. Our derivative contracts are based upon reported settlement prices on commodity exchanges, with crude oil derivative settlements based on NYMEX West Texas Intermediate pricing and with natural gas derivative settlements based on NYMEX Henry Hub pricing.

Due to this volatility, we have historically used, and we expect to continue to use, commodity derivative instruments, such as swaps and collars, to hedge price risk associated with a portion of our anticipated production. Our hedging instruments reduce, but do not eliminate, the potential effects of the variability in cash flow from operations due to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and provide increased certainty of cash flows for our drilling program and debt service requirements. See Note 9 - Revolving Credit Facility to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for more information regarding the Company's revolving credit facility.

Counterparty and Customer Credit Risk

Our cash and cash equivalents are exposed to concentrations of credit risk. We manage and control this risk by investing these funds with major financial institutions. We often have balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

Our derivative contracts expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. While we do not require counterparties to our derivative contracts to post collateral, we do evaluate the credit standing of such counterparties as we deem appropriate. Certain counterparties are financial institutions that participate as lenders in our revolving credit facility. The counterparties to our derivative contracts currently in place have investment grade ratings.

Our principal exposures to credit risk are through receivables resulting from joint interest receivables and receivables from the sale of our oil and natural gas production due to the concentration of our oil and natural gas receivables with very few significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us or their insolvency or liquidation may adversely affect our financial results.

Joint operations receivables arise from billings to entities that own partial interests in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we intend to drill. We have little ability to control whether these entities will participate in our wells.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2021, we had $97.5 million of outstanding borrowings and an additional $37.5 million available under our revolving credit facility. We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to manage interest rate exposure related to our revolving credit facility.

Cyber Security Risk

The Company's reliance on information technology, including those hosted by third parties, exposes us to cyber security risks that could affect our business, financial condition or reputation and increase compliance challenges.

The Company relies on information technology systems, including internet sites, computer software, data hosting facilities and other hardware and platforms, some of which are hosted by third parties, to assist in conducting our business. Our information technology systems, as well as those of third parties we use in our operations, may be vulnerable to a variety of evolving cybersecurity risks, such as those involving unauthorized access or control, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insiders or others with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, malware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions.

Although we have implemented information technology controls and systems that are designed to protect information and mitigate the risk of data loss and other cybersecurity risks, such measures cannot entirely eliminate cybersecurity threats, and the enhanced controls we have installed may be breached. If our information technology systems cease to function properly or our cybersecurity is breached, we could suffer disruptions to our normal operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management establishes and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, as well as other key members of our management. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

As of March 31, 2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In particular, we had not yet designed an effective financial reporting process and did not complete thorough reviews of financial reports in a timely manner to allow for an appropriate level of analysis that would have identified these errors. These errors principally related to (i) accounting for share-based compensation and our failure to record compensation expense for certain vested share-based compensation grants in the correct reporting period, (ii) accounting for dividend distributions and our failure to record a declared dividend in the reporting period in which the dividend was declared, (iii) accounting for derivative settlements, and (iv) controls over preparation and review of the Company’s statement of cash flows were not effective. As of June 30, 2021, we have not fully re-designed, implemented and tested internal controls to remediate the material weaknesses.

Each of the material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of our financial statements or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Our management is in the process of remediating deficiencies to address the material weaknesses identified in the second quarter. The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively. Consequently, if these or another material weakness or significant deficiencies occur in the future, it could affect the financial results that we report which could result in a restatement of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

The internal controls over financial reporting after the Merger are now the controls which REP LLC had in place prior to the Merger. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred for the quarter ending June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As noted above, the Company is in the process of developing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses described above.
