Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On March 3, 2023, the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management and Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that the unaudited condensed combined financial statements of the Company’s Predecessor (as defined below) as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (collectively, the “Subject Periods”) included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 14, 2022 for the Subject Periods, should no longer be relied upon. The Form 10-Q presented the financial statements of Grey Rock Energy Fund III-A, LP, Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B Holdings, LP, Grey Rock Energy Fund III-B, LP, Grey Rock Preferred Limited Partner III, LP (collectively, the “Predecessor”). The Predecessor was determined to be the accounting acquirer and predecessor in connection with the Company’s business combination that closed October 24, 2022 pursuant to a business combination agreement dated May 16, 2022 among the Company, Executive Network Partnering Corporation, the Predecessor, certain other funds associated with Grey Rock Energy Management, LLC, and certain other parties thereto, which business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Similarly, any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases, and investor presentations or other communications describing the Company’s unaudited condensed combined financial statements and other related financial information covering the Subject Periods should no longer be relied upon.

 

The Company discovered errors in the depletion calculation and that certain acquisitions, initially classified as acquisitions of proved oil and natural gas properties, should have been classified as unproved oil and natural gas properties which overstated depletion expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Depletion expense for the Predecessor was overstated by $14.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The error does not impact the Company’s current or historical reported revenue, liquidity, cash and cash equivalents or cash flows from (used in) operating, investing or financing activities.

 

The Company intends to restate the unaudited condensed combined financial statements for the Subject Periods as soon as practicable by filing an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Subject Periods. Accordingly, investors and others should rely only on financial information and other disclosures regarding the Subject Periods once the Company restates its unaudited condensed combined financial statements for the Subject Periods.

 

The above referenced misstatements are preliminary, unaudited and subject to further change in connection with the completion of the amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the Subject Periods to be filed with the SEC.

 

The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, FORVIS, LLP.

 

In connection with the restatements discussed above, the Company’s management reevaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, and concluded they were not effective because of a material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of September 30, 2022. Management is developing a remediation plan for the material weaknesses.

See also additional risk factors set forth in or incorporated by reference into the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022.
