The results of operations for both of the Progress acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the closing dates. Pro forma information is not presented as the pro forma results would not be materially different from the information presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 2015 Disposition Barnwell entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an independent third party and, in September 2015, sold its interests in its principal oil and natural gas properties located in the Dunvegan and Belloy areas of Alberta, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $21,875,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of April 1, 2015. Barnwell's share, after broker's fees and other closing costs, was approximately $14,162,000 and third parties', who were working interest owners in the properties prior to the sale, share, in the aggregate, was approximately $7,247,000. The relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of the sold property and retained properties was significant as there was a 220% difference in capitalized costs divided by proved reserves if the gain was recorded versus the gain being credited against the full-cost pool. Accordingly, Barnwell recorded a gain on the sale of Dunvegan of $6,217,000 in the year ended September 30, 2015 in accordance with the guidance in Rule 4-10(c)(6)(i) of Regulation S-X, which requires an allocation of capitalized costs to the reserves sold and reserves retained on the basis of the relative fair values of the properties as there was a substantial economic difference between the properties sold and those retained. Also included in the gain calculation, were asset retirement obligations of $2,013,000 assumed by the purchaser. The disposition was recorded in fiscal 2015 using preliminary purchase price adjustments. Barnwell and the purchaser updated and finalized the purchase price adjustments in accordance with the terms of the purchase and sale agreement during fiscal 2016 which resulted in additional proceeds of $493,000 and the recognition of an additional gain in the amount of $472,000 during the year ended September 30, 2016, bringing the total gain on the sale of these properties to $6,689,000. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are presented below as though the disposition of Dunvegan occurred on October 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to represent what our actual results of operations would have been if the disposition had been completed on such date or to project our results of operations for any future date or period. The pro forma information includes adjustments to oil and natural gas segment revenues and operating expenses based on the actual results of operations related to Dunvegan, as well as adjustments for estimated depletion, accretion expense, general and administrative expenses, and income taxes based on an allocation of the estimated impact of Dunvegan on those amounts.
