The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Gulfport were prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) relates to the financial position and periods of May 18, 2021 through June 30, 2021 (“Successor Period”), April 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 ("Current Predecessor Quarter"), January 1, 2021 through May 17, 2021 (“Current Predecessor YTD Period”), the three months ended June 30, 2020 (“Prior Predecessor Quarter”) and the six months ended June 30, 2020 ("Prior Predecessor YTD Period"). The Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”) should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. Except as disclosed herein, and with the exception of information in this report related to our emergence from Chapter 11 and fresh start accounting, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2020 Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements and related disclosures to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previous reported total assets, total liabilities, net loss or total operating cash flows.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2021, we had restricted cash of $29.1 million. The restricted funds were maintained primarily to pay debtor-related professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases.
Impact on Previously Reported Results Impact on Previously Reported ResultsDuring the third quarter of 2020, the Company identified that certain firm transportation costs incurred in prior periods were misclassified as deducts to "natural gas sales" while they should have been included in "transportation, gathering, processing and compression" on its consolidated statements of operations. The Company assessed the materiality of this presentation on prior periods’ consolidated financial statements in accordance with the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality”, codified in FASB ASC Topic 250 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that the correction is not material to any previously issued financial statements. The correction had no impact on its consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders' equity or consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, the error had no impact on net loss or net loss per share.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This new standard simplifies and adds disclosure requirements for the accounting and measurement of convertible instruments. It eliminates the treasury stock method for convertible instruments and requires application of the “if-converted” method for certain agreements. In addition, the standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features and the recognition of a debt discount and related amortization to interest expense of those embedded features.
The Company elected to early adopt this standard effective on the Emergence Date. The Company adopted the new standard using the modified retrospective approach transition method. No cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption of the new standard. The consolidated financial statements for the Successor Period are presented under the new standard, while the predecessor periods and comparative periods are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting policy.
