Year-End 2013 Results
For the full year 2013, Company production increased to 108.8 Mboe, an average of 298 Boe/d, representing a 47% increase over 2012 production of 73.9 MBoe. Revenues were $9.1 million, compared to $6.0 million in 2012, an increase of 51%. The increase in production and revenues was due to the completion or purchase of an additional 87 gross (2.57 net) wells in 2013.
During 2013, the Company realized an average price of $89.58 per Bbl of oil compared to an average price of $83.27 per Bbl of oil in 2012. The Company's production was comprised of 92% oil and 8% natural gas and natural gas liquids in 2013 on a Boe basis.
Lease operating expenses for 2013 were $1.1 million, or $10.53 per Boe, compared to $650 thousand, or $8.79 per Boe, for 2012.
General and administrative expenses ("G&A") for 2013 were $2.3 million, or $21.14 per Boe, compared to $3.5 million, or $47.75 per Boe for 2012. Cash G&A (non-GAAP, excludes stock-based compensation expense) was $1.7 million, or $15.22 per Boe for 2013 compared to $2.2 million, or $30.33 per Boe for 2012. Included in the 2012 G&A expenses were one-time legal costs of $371 thousand associated with litigation settlement activity.

The SEC Pricing Proved Reserves table above values crude oil and natural gas reserve quantities and related discounted future net cash flows as of December 31, 2013 assuming a constant realized price of $88.93 per barrel of crude oil and a constant realized price of $8.25 per Mcf of natural gas. The values presented in both tables above were calculated by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. |
||||||||||||||
| (2) |
BOE are computed based on a conversion ratio of one BOE for each barrel of crude oil and one BOE for every 6,000 cubic feet (i.e., 6 Mcf) of natural gas. |
||||||||||||||
| (3) |
Pre-tax PV10% may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC and is derived from the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, which is the most directly comparable standardized financial measure. Pre-tax PV10% is computed on the same basis as the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows but without deducting future income taxes. We believe Pre-tax PV10% is a useful measure for investors for evaluating the relative monetary significance of our crude oil and natural gas properties. We further believe investors may utilize our Pre-tax PV10% as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies because many factors that are unique to each individual company impact the amount of future income taxes to be paid. Our management uses this measure when assessing the potential return on investment related to our crude oil and natural gas properties and acquisitions. However, Pre-tax PV10% is not a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. Our Pre-tax PV10% and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows do not purport to present the fair value of our crude oil and natural gas reserves. |

Liquidity Position
In August 2013, Black Ridge closed on a $50 million senior secured revolving credit facility and a $75 million second lien term loan facility. The initial capital available to the Company was $32 million, nearly double the availability from the Company's previous financing. In connection with the December closing of the Corral Creek acquisition, the capital available to the Company was increased to $43 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had drawn $33 million from these facilities.
Black Ridge expects to continue to use these two new facilities as well as cash flow from operations to accelerate the growth of the Company's footprint in the Bakken and Three Forks trends through potential working interest and/or leasehold purchases and development of wells on the Company's existing leases.
Operational Update
As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned interests in 153 gross (4.87 net) producing wells. Additionally, the Company owned interest in 55 gross (1.40 net) wells that were preparing to drill, drilling, awaiting completion, or completing ("drilling") as of December 31, 2013. A full list of producing and "drilling" wells is available at www.blackridgeoil.com.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company controlled approximately 10,000 net acres prospective for the Bakken and Three Forks formations. Additionally, the Company controlled approximately 4,200 net acres in southeastern Dunn County that do not appear to hold commercially economic reserve quantities and their respective leases will not be renewed or extended upon expiration in the first half of 2014.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to reporting net income (loss) as defined under GAAP, we also present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income excluding settlement income, net of settlement expenses, and tax. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion and amortization, (iv) accretion of abandonment liability, and (v) non-cash expenses relating to share based payments recognized under ASC Topic 718. We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our current financial performance; however, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent, and should not be considered alternatives to GAAP measurements. We believe these measures are useful in evaluating our fundamental core operating performance. Specifically, we believe the non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain income and expenses that our management believes are not indicative of our core operating results. Although we use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to manage our business, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and financial projections, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income, GAAP, are included below:
