NARRATIVE

For Period Ended: July 31, 2017

Please provide a brief description of any significant business and legal actions taken by the debtor, its creditors, or the court during the reporting period, any unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions that are reported in the financial statements, and any significant changes in the financial condition of the debtor which have occurred subsequent to the report date.

During the period from July 1st through July 31st, there were no material unusual or non-recurring accounting transactions recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

The Debtor continues discussions with the secured lenders about their desired plans to move forward, which include reorganizing in a manner similar to the Plan previously submitted, but with a parallel process for possible sale of the Debtor’s assets.

On July 26, 2017, the Debtor filed a motion for entry of orders to: 1) establish bidding and sale procedures, 2) establish procedures related to the assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases, 3) approve the sale of assets, and 4) grant related relief. The Debtor also filed a motion to shorten notice to 12 days for items 1) and 2) above. The procedures currently provide for an auction for the sale of substantially all of the Debtor’s assets to be held on August 28, 2017. On July 27, 2017, the Court granted the Debtor’s motion to shorten notice to 12 days, or August 7, 2017, and set a hearing for August 15, 2017 in the event objections to the bid procedures motion are raised.

Other significant events after the close of the reporting period:

The trial for the pending case of Alan Eugene Humphrey and Wyoming GTL, LLC, v. Escalera Resources Co., United States District Court for the District of Colorado Case No. 15-cv-00769 was held during the week of August 7th, 2017. In this case, the Debtor sought reimbursement of $1,352,000 from the Plaintiffs for advances made during 2014 and 2015 under a letter agreement with the Plaintiffs dated May 30, 2014. The jury awarded the Debtor $676,000, or half of the amount being sought. Additionally, the jury awarded Alan Eugene Humphrey the option to rescind the $500,000 of the Debtor’s common stock he purchased in 2014. The Debtor is currently awaiting entry of judgement and will then evaluate how it would like to proceed with this matter.

The Debtor was unable to secure a stalking horse bidder by the hearing scheduled for August 15, 2017. As a result, the Court permitted the Debtor to submit a stalking horse bid with a signed purchase and sale agreement by August 29. Since the Debtor was unable to do so, it withdrew the bid procedures motion with the view toward refiling a similar motion if and when it had agreement with a stalking horse bidder. The Debtor currently anticipates refiling a motion in the next few weeks.
