Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Phoenix Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions with and between Phoenix Energy and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Liquidity risk and management's plans
Liquidity risk and management’s plans
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to continue to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or by achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $157.3 million and a member’s deficit of approximately $28.5 million. The Company expects to repay its financial liabilities in the normal course of operations and to fund future operational and capital requirements through operating cash flows and through issuances of additional debt. Since the balance sheet date and through the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had raised an additional $74.7 million of notes through its investor program (see Note 7 – Debt and Note 15 – Subsequent Events). Management believes its capital raises through its bond offerings will continue at or above this current pace.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the applicable reporting period of such statements. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates including quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) reserves that are the basis for the calculations of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and determinations of impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas and there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment along with estimated selling prices. As a result, reserve estimates may materially differ from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2024-03,
Income Statement—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
(“ASU
2024-03”).
ASU
2024-03
requires companies to provide more detailed disclosures about the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The ASU aims to enhance the transparency and usefulness of financial statements by providing better insight into the components of expense line items, and becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting pronouncements not listed above were assessed and determined to not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
