Asset Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, Epsilon acquired assets that included the following:

● a 25% working interest in three producing wells for $12.1 million.

● a 50% working interest in 14,243 gross undeveloped acres and a 25% working interest in an additional 3,620 gross undeveloped acres for $3.8 million.

Management determined that substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. Based on this determination, the acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Epsilon acquired assets that included the following:

● a 10% interest in two wellbores for $2.1 million.

● a 25% working interest in 12,364 gross acres, including the drilling and completion of one well, for $11.6 million

Property Impairment

We perform a quantitative impairment test whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset group's carrying amount may not be recoverable, over proved properties using the published NYMEX forward prices, basis differentials, timing, methods and other assumptions consistent with historical periods. When indicators of impairment are present, GAAP requires that the Company first compare expected future undiscounted cash flows by asset group to their respective carrying values. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a reduction of the carrying amount of the properties to their estimated fair values is required. Additionally, if an exploratory well is determined not to have found proved reserves, the costs incurred, net of any salvage value, should be charged to expense.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, no impairment was recorded.
