Background and Basis of Presentation |
NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Tellurian plans to own, develop and operate natural gas liquefaction facilities, storage facilities and loading terminals and is developing an LNG terminal facility (the “Driftwood terminal”) and an associated pipeline (the “Driftwood pipeline”) in Southwest Louisiana (the Driftwood terminal and the Driftwood pipeline collectively, the “Driftwood Project”). The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Tellurian as of and for the period ended March 31, 2017, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes of Tellurian Investments as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Such information was included in Tellurian’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017 following the completion of a merger (the “Merger”) of Tellurian Investments with a subsidiary of Magellan Petroleum Corporation (“Magellan”) on February 10, 2017 (the “Merger Date”). Magellan changed its corporate name to Tellurian Inc. shortly after completing the Merger. The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” with Tellurian Investments being treated as the accounting acquirer. As such, the historical condensed consolidated comparative information as of and for all periods in 2016 in this report relates to Tellurian Investments and its subsidiaries. Subsequent to the Merger Date, the information relates to the consolidated entities of Tellurian Inc., with Magellan reflected as the accounting acquiree. In connection with the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Tellurian Investments common stock was exchanged for 1.3 shares of Magellan common stock. All share and per share amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this exchange, including reclassifying an amount equal to the change in par value of common stock from additional paid-in capital. On April 9, 2016, Tellurian Investments acquired Tellurian Services, formerly known as Parallax Services LLC (“Parallax Services”). Parallax Services was primarily engaged in general and administrative support services to a group of related companies including Parallax Enterprises LLC (“Parallax Enterprises”) and Parallax Energy LLC (“Parallax Energy”). Under the financial reporting rules of the SEC, Parallax Services (“Predecessor”) has been deemed to be the predecessor to Tellurian (“Successor”) for financial reporting purposes. Except where the context indicates otherwise, (i) references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Tellurian” or the “Company” refer, for periods prior to the completion of the Merger, to Tellurian Investments and its subsidiaries, and for periods following the completion of the Merger, to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries and (ii) references to “Magellan” refer to Tellurian Inc. and its subsidiaries prior to the completion of the Merger. Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2017. |
