NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
 
In June 2015, Ring completed the acquisition of oil and gas assets and properties in the Ford West Field and Ford Geraldine Unit in Reeves and Culberson Counties, Texas. The acquired properties consist of 19,983 gross (19,679 net) acres and include a 98% average working interest and a 79% average net revenue interest. Consideration given by the Company consisted of cash payments totaling $75,000,000 and the assumption of accounts receivable of approximately $286,563 and accounts payable of approximately $742,332. The Company incurred approximately $129,896 in acquisition related costs, which were recognized in general and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2015.
 
The acquisition was recognized as a business combination whereby Ring recorded the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair values as of May 1, 2015, which is the date the Company obtained control of the properties and was the acquisition date for financial reporting purposes. The estimated fair value of the acquired properties approximated the consideration paid, which the Company concluded approximated the fair value that would be paid by a typical market participant.
