“Stratigraphy”

 

The study of the composition, relative ages and distribution of layers of sedimentary rock.

 

 

 

“Stratigraphic trap”

 

A stratigraphic trap is formed from a change in the character of the rock rather than faulting or folding of the rock and oil and/or natural gas is held in place by changes in the porosity and permeability of overlying rocks.

 

 

 

“Structural trap”

 

A topographic feature in the earth’s subsurface that forms a high point in the rock strata. This facilitates the accumulation of oil and natural gas in the strata.

A structural-stratigraphic trap is a combination trap with structural and stratigraphic features.

 

 

 

“Submarine fan”

 

A fan-shaped deposit of sediments occurring in a deep water setting where sediments have been transported via mass flow, gravity induced, processes from the shallow to deep water. These systems commonly develop at the bottom of sedimentary basins or at the end of large rivers.

 

 

 

“Three-way fault trap”

 

A structural trap where at least one of the components of closure is formed by offset of rock layers across a fault.

 

 

 

“Trap”

KOSMOS ENERGY LTD.

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

 

Kosmos Energy Ltd. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Bermuda in January 2011 to become a holding company for Kosmos Energy Holdings. Kosmos Energy Holdings is a privately held Cayman Islands company that was formed in March 2004. As a holding company, Kosmos Energy Ltd.’s management operations are conducted through a wholly owned subsidiary, Kosmos Energy, LLC. The terms “Kosmos,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” and similar terms refer to Kosmos Energy Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

Kosmos is a leading independent oil and gas exploration and production company focused on frontier and emerging areas along the Atlantic Margin. Our assets include existing production and other major development projects offshore Ghana, as well as exploration licenses with significant hydrocarbon potential offshore Mauritania, Portugal, Sao Tome, Senegal, Suriname, Morocco and Western Sahara. Kosmos is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and is traded under the ticker symbol KOS.

 

We have one reportable segment, which is the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Substantially all of our long-lived assets and product sales are currently related to production located offshore Ghana.

 

2. Accounting Policies

 

General

 

The interim-period financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this report is unaudited and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2015, the changes in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The results of the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the final results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported net income (loss), current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or shareholders’ equity.

 

Restricted Cash

 

In accordance with our commercial debt facility (the “Facility”), we are required to maintain a restricted cash balance that is sufficient to meet the payment of interest and fees for the next six-month period on the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (“Senior Notes”) plus the Corporate Revolver or the Facility, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $24.4 million and $15.9 million, respectively, in current restricted cash to meet this requirement.

 

In addition, in accordance with certain of our petroleum contracts, we have posted letters of credit related to performance guarantees for our minimum work obligations. These letters of credit are cash collateralized in accounts held by us and as such are classified as restricted cash. Upon completion of the minimum work obligations and/or

12


 

Table of Contents

entering into the next phase of the petroleum contract, the requirement to post the existing letters of credit will be satisfied and the cash collateral will be released. However, additional letters of credit may be required should we choose to move into the next phase of certain of our petroleum contracts. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $12.4 million and zero, respectively, of short-term restricted cash and $4.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of long-term restricted cash used to collateralize performance guarantees related to our petroleum contracts.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consisted of $71.9 million and $55.3 million of materials and supplies and $4.5 million and $0.1 million of hydrocarbons as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company’s materials and supplies inventory primarily consists of casing and wellheads and is stated at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or market.

 

Hydrocarbon inventory is carried at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or market. Hydrocarbon inventory costs include expenditures and other charges incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition. Selling expenses and general and administrative expenses are reported as period costs and excluded from inventory costs.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330) — Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” ASU 2015-11 changes the measurement principle for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Deferral of the Effective Date.” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) — Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with the Line-of-Credit Arrangements.” ASU 2015-15 clarifies the guidance regarding line-of-credit arrangements with regards to the recently issued ASU 2015-03 to incorporate statements made by the SEC Staff during their June 18, 2015 Emerging Issues Task Force meeting. The SEC Staff has clarified they would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issue costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issue costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of credit arrangement. The adoption of this standard will result in $41.2 million of net deferred financing costs (as of September 30, 2015) being reclassified as a direct reduction of debt on the balance sheet upon adoption of ASU 2015-03 during the first quarter of 2016. 

 

3.  Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

In March 2015, we closed a farm-in agreement with Repsol Exploracion, S.A. (“Repsol”), acquiring a non-operated interest in the Camarao, Ameijoa, Mexilhao and Ostra blocks in the Peniche Basin offshore Portugal. As part of the agreement, we will reimburse a portion of Repsol’s previously incurred exploration costs, as well as partially carry Repsol’s share of the costs of a planned 3D seismic program. After giving effect to the farm-in agreement, our participating interest is 31% in each of the blocks.

 

In March 2015, we closed a farm-out agreement with Chevron Mauritania Exploration Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”), covering the C8, C12 and C13 petroleum contracts offshore Mauritania. Under the terms of the farm-out agreement, Chevron acquired a 30% non-operated working interest in each of the contract areas. Chevron will pay a disproportionate share of the costs of one exploration well and a second contingent exploration well, subject to maximum expenditure caps. In addition, Chevron paid its proportionate share of certain

13


 

Table of Contents

previously incurred exploration costs. Chevron did not fund drilling of the Tortue prospect, but retains the option to elect to participate in this prospect subject to Chevron paying a disproportionate share of its costs related to the Tortue prospect. After giving effect to the farm-out agreements, Kosmos, Chevron and Societe Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures et de Patrimoine Minier’s (“SMHPM”) (Mauritania’s national oil company) participating interest in Block C8, Block C12 and Block C13 is 60%,  30% and 10%, respectively, and we remain as operator. The final allocation resulted in sales proceeds of $28.7 million, which exceeded our book basis in the assets, resulting in a $24.7 million gain on the transaction.

 

In October 2015, we closed a sale and purchase agreement with ERHC Energy EEZ, LDA, whereby we acquired an 85% participating interest and operatorship in Block 11 offshore Sao Tome. The National Petroleum Agency, Agencia Nacional Do Petroleo De Sao Tome E Príncipe (“ANPSTP”), has a 15% carried interest.

 

 

4. Joint Interest Billings

 

The Company’s joint interest billings consist of receivables from partners with interests in common oil and gas properties operated by the Company. Joint interest billings are classified on the face of the consolidated balance sheets as current and long-term receivables based on when collection is expected to occur.

 

In 2014, the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (“GNPC”) notified us and our block partners that it would exercise its right for the contractor group to pay its 5% share of the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (“TEN”) development costs. We will be reimbursed for our portion of such costs plus interest from GNPC’s TEN production revenues under the terms of the Deepwater Tano (“DT”) petroleum contract. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the joint interest billing receivables due from GNPC for the TEN development costs were $31.3 million and $14.2 million, respectively, which are classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2015, the projects with exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year since the completion of drilling are related to the Mahogany, Teak (formerly Teak-1 and Teak-2) and Akasa discoveries in the West Cape Three Points (“WCTP”) Block and the Wawa discovery in the DT Block, which are all in Ghana.

 

Mahogany— In March 2015, we submitted a declaration of commerciality to Ghana’s Ministry of Petroleum (formerly Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum) and expect to submit a PoD incorporating the Mahogany discovery later this year.

 

Teak Discovery—In March 2015, we submitted a declaration of commerciality to Ghana’s Ministry of Petroleum and expect to submit a PoD incorporating the Teak discovery later this year.

 

Akasa Discovery— We are currently in discussions with the government of Ghana regarding additional technical studies and evaluation that we want to conduct before we are able to make a determination regarding commerciality of the discovery. If we determine the discovery to be commercial, a declaration of commerciality would be provided and a PoD would be prepared and submitted to Ghana’s Ministry of Petroleum, as required under the WCTP petroleum contract.

 

Wawa Discovery—In April 2015, the Special Chamber of the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (“ITLOS”) issued an order in response to the provisional measures sought by the government of Cote d’Ivoire in its pending maritime boundary dispute with the government of Ghana. ITLOS rejected the request that Ghana suspend all ongoing exploration and development operations in the disputed area in which the Wawa Discovery is situated until ITLOS gives its decision on the maritime boundary dispute, which is expected in late 2017. ITLOS did order Ghana to suspend new drilling in the disputed area.  We plan to discuss with the government of Ghana the effects of the ITLOS order on the proposed Wawa appraisal activities so that we can more clearly define our future plans and corresponding timeline. In the meantime, we continue to reprocess seismic data and have acquired a high resolution seismic survey over the discovery area. Following additional evaluation and potential appraisal activities, a decision regarding commerciality of the Wawa discovery will be made by the DT Block partners. Within nine months of a declaration of commerciality, a PoD would be prepared and submitted to Ghana’s Ministry of Petroleum, as required under the DT petroleum contract.

Facility

 

In March 2014, the Company amended and restated the Facility with a total commitment of $1.5 billion from a number of financial institutions, including the International Finance Corporation. The Facility supports our oil and gas exploration, appraisal and development programs and corporate activities.

 

As part of the debt refinancing in March 2014, the repayment of borrowings under the existing facility attributable to financial institutions that did not participate in the amended Facility was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt, and existing unamortized debt issuance costs attributable to those participants were expensed. As a result, we recorded a $2.9 million loss on the extinguishment of debt. As of September 30, 2015, we have $39.2 million of net deferred financing costs related to the Facility, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Facility, including certain costs related to the amendment.

 

As of September 30, 2015, borrowings under the Facility totaled $400.0 million and the undrawn availability under the Facility was $1.1 billion.

 

The Facility provides a revolving-credit and letter of credit facility. The availability period for the revolving-credit facility, as amended in March 2014 expires on March 31, 2018. However the Facility has a revolving-credit sublimit, which will be the lesser of $500.0 million and the total available facility at that time, that will be available for drawing until the date falling one month prior to the final maturity date. The letter of credit facility expires on the final maturity date. The available facility amount is subject to borrowing base constraints and, beginning on March 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings will be constrained by an amortization schedule. The Facility has a final maturity date of March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2015, we had no letters of credit issued under the Facility.

 

We were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Facility as of September 30, 2015 (the most recent assessment date). The Facility contains customary cross default provisions.

Corporate Revolver

 

In June 2015, we amended and restated the Corporate Revolver from a number of financial institutions, increasing the borrowing capacity to $400.0 million, extending the maturity date to November 2018 and lowering the commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the total commitments to 30% per annum of the respective margin. The Corporate Revolver is available for all subsidiaries for general corporate purposes and for oil and gas exploration; appraisal and development programs. As of September 30, 2015, we have $8.7 million of net deferred financing costs related to the Corporate Revolver, which will be amortized over the remaining term.  Additionally, a negative covenant was added that restricts our ability to incur additional indebtedness that would not be permitted by the indenture governing our 7.875% senior secured notes due 2021. 

 

As of September 30, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporate Revolver and the undrawn availability under the Corporate Revolver was $400.0 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Corporate Revolver as of September 30, 2015 (the most recent assessment date). The Corporate Revolver contains customary cross default provisions.

 

Revolving Letter of Credit Facility

 

In July 2013, we entered into a revolving letter of credit facility agreement (“LC Facility”). The size of the LC Facility is $100.0 million, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if the existing lender increases its commitment or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. In July 2015, we reduced the size of our LC Facility by $25.0 million to $75.0 million, with additional commitments up to $50.0 million being available if the existing lender increases its commitment or if commitments from new financial institutions are added. As of September 30, 2015, there were eight outstanding letters of credit totaling $23.1 million under the LC Facility. The LC Facility contains customary cross default provisions.

 

7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2021

 

In August 2014, the Company issued $300.0 million of Senior Notes and received net proceeds of approximately $292.5 million after deducting discounts, commissions and deferred financing costs. The Company used the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Facility and for general corporate purposes.

 

In April 2015, we issued an additional $225.0 million Senior Notes and received net proceeds of $206.8 million after deducting discounts, commissions and other expenses. The net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Facility and for general corporate purposes. The additional $225.0 million of Senior Notes have identical terms to the initial $300.0 million of Senior Notes, other than the date of issue, the initial price, the first interest payment date and the first date from which interest will accrue.

 

The Senior Notes mature on August 1, 2021. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears each February 1 and August 1 commencing on February 1, 2015 for the initial $300.0 million Senior Notes and August 1, 2015 for the additional $225.0 million Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are secured (subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens) by a first ranking fixed equitable charge on all shares held by us in our direct subsidiary, Kosmos Energy Holdings. The Senior Notes are currently guaranteed on a subordinated, unsecured basis by our existing restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Facility and the Corporate Revolver, and, in certain circumstances, the Senior Notes will become guaranteed by certain of our other existing or future restricted subsidiaries.
