NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ​ Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation General Amplify Energy Corp. (“Amplify Energy,” “it” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “AMPY.” The Company is engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and production of oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, the Rockies, federal waters offshore Southern California, East Texas/North Louisiana and the Eagle Ford. The Company’s properties consist primarily of operated and non-operated working interests in producing and undeveloped leasehold acreage and working interests in identified producing wells. Basis of Presentation The Company’s accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation. Material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results reported in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. Furthermore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2021 Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; fair value estimates; revenue recognition; and contingencies and insurance accounting. Market Conditions and COVID-19 Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments have tried to slow the spread of the virus by imposing social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, among other actions, which caused a significant decrease in activity in the global economy and the demand for oil and to a lesser extent natural gas and NGLs. As vaccines have become widely available, social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders have eased, activity in the global economy has increased and demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs and related commodity pricing, has improved. 12 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Additionally, oil, natural gas and NGLs prices increased in the first half of 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, as a result, the Company experienced a significant increase in revenues. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the actions of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other large producing nations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inventories of oil and gas and the uncertainty associated with recovering oil demand, future monetary policy and governmental policies aimed at transitioning towards lower carbon energy. The Company expects prices for some or all of the commodities to remain volatile. Other factors such as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the speed and effectiveness of vaccine distributions or other medical advances to combat the virus may impact the recovery of world economic growth and the demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs. ​ Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s annual financial statements included in its 2021 Form 10-K. New Accounting Pronouncements The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. ​ Note 3. Revenue Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue is recognized when the following five steps are completed: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligation (promise) in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, (5) recognize revenue when the reporting organization satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has determined that its contracts for the sale of crude oil, unprocessed natural gas, residue gas and NGLs contain monthly performance obligations to deliver product at locations specified in the contract. Control is transferred at the delivery location, at which point the performance obligation has been satisfied and revenue is recognized. Fees included in the contract that are incurred prior to control transfer are classified as gathering, processing and transportation, and fees incurred after control transfers are included as a reduction to the transaction price. The transaction price at which revenue is recognized consists entirely of variable consideration based on quoted market prices less various fees and the quantity of volumes delivered. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company has identified three material revenue streams in its business: oil, natural gas and NGLs. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue stream. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Three Months Ended ​ For the Six Months Ended ​ ​ June 30, ​ June 30, ​ ​ 2022 2021 2022 2021 ​ ​ (in thousands) ​ Revenues ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Oil ​ $ 58,918 ​ $ 56,510 ​ $ 111,292 ​ $ 106,205 ​ NGLs ​ ​ 13,604 ​ ​ 8,876 ​ ​ 27,085 ​ ​ 16,547 ​ Natural gas ​ ​ 40,356 ​ ​ 14,952 ​ ​ 68,373 ​ ​ 29,917 ​ Oil and natural gas sales ​ $ 112,878 ​ $ 80,338 ​ $ 206,750 ​ $ 152,669 ​ ​ 13 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Contract Balances Under the Company’s sales contracts, the Company invoices customers once its performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. Accounts receivable attributable to the Company’s revenue contracts with customers was $ 48.5 million at June 30, 2022 and $ 32.4 million at December 31, 2021. ​ Note 4. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). All the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were considered Level 2. The carrying values of accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities), restricted investments and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements with variable rates included in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated fair value at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are not presented in the following tables. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were based on estimated forward commodity prices. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables present the gross derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in ​ Significant Other ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Active Market ​ Observable Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ ​ ​ (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Fair Value ​ ​ (In thousands) Assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ Commodity derivatives ​ $ — ​ $ 13,281 ​ $ — ​ $ 13,281 Interest rate derivatives ​ — ​ 527 ​ — ​ 527 Total assets ​ $ — ​ $ 13,808 ​ $ — ​ $ 13,808 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ Commodity derivatives ​ $ — ​ $ 107,901 ​ $ — ​ $ 107,901 Interest rate derivatives ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Total liabilities ​ $ — ​ $ 107,901 ​ $ — ​ $ 107,901 ​ 14 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as reflected on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values: ● The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding factors such as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate; and inflation rates. The initial fair value estimates are based on unobservable market data and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in AROs. ● Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The Company uses an income approach based on the discounted cash flow method, whereby the present value of expected future net cash flows is discounted by applying an appropriate discount rate, for purposes of placing a fair value on the assets. The future cash flows are based on management’s estimates for the future. The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, estimates of probable reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and natural gas properties (some of which are Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy). ● No impairment expense recorded on proved oil and natural gas properties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. ​ Note 5. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and to achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with natural gas and oil sales and borrowing related activities. These instruments limit exposure to declines in prices but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase. 15 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of natural gas or oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by the counterparty to a contract. It is the Company’s policy to enter into derivative contracts only with creditworthy counterparties, which generally are financial institutions, deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Some of the lenders, or certain of their affiliates, under the Company’s current credit agreements are counterparties to its derivative contracts. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with creditworthy counterparties that are generally large financial institutions. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. The Company has also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of its counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide the Company and each of its counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default by either the Company or its counterparty to a derivative, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). Commodity Derivatives The Company may use a combination of commodity derivatives (e.g., floating-for-fixed swaps, put options, costless collars and three-way collars) to manage exposure to commodity price volatility. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value. The Company enters into natural gas derivative contracts that are indexed to NYMEX-Henry Hub. The Company also enters into oil derivative contracts indexed to NYMEX-WTI. The Company’s NGL derivative contracts are primarily indexed to OPIS Mont Belvieu. 16 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

Revolving Credit Facility OLLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is a party to a reserve-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), subject to a borrowing base of $ 225.0 million as of June 30, 2022, which is guaranteed by the Company and all of its current subsidiaries. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on November 2, 2023 . The Company’s borrowing base under its Revolving Credit Facility is subject to redetermination on at least a semi-annual basis, primarily based on a reserve engineering report. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all the financial (current ratio and total leverage ratio) and non-financial covenants associated with its Revolving Credit Facility. On June 20, 2022, OLLC entered into the Borrowing Base Redetermination Agreement and Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement, among OLLC, Amplify Acquisitionco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment amends the Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things: ● terminate the automatic monthly reductions of the borrowing base; ● reaffirm the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility at $ 225.0 million; and ● modify the affirmative hedging covenant. The Fall 2021 semi-annual borrowing base redetermination in November 2021, resulted in (1) the reaffirmation of the $ 245.0 million borrowing base and (2) subsequent reductions to the borrowing base of $ 5.0 million per month beginning February 28, 2022 and continuing until the completion of the next regularly scheduled redetermination. The Company completed the regularly scheduled redetermination in June 2022.

Paycheck Protection Program On April 24, 2020, the Company received a $ 5.5 million from the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to provide loans to qualifying businesses. The PPP Loan was not part of the Revolving Credit Facility as described above. The loan and accrued interest were potentially forgivable provided that the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes. The term of the Company’s PPP Loan was two years with an annual interest rate of 1 % and no payments of principal or interest due during the six-month period beginning on the date of the PPP Loan. The Company applied for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP Loan based on spending the loan proceeds on eligible expenses as defined by the statute. On June 22, 2021, KeyBank notified the Company that the PPP Loan had been approved for full and complete forgiveness by the Small Business Association. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported a gain on extinguishment of debt of $ 5.5 million for the PPP Loan forgiveness in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. ​ Note 8.

Long-Term Incentive Plans In May 2021, the shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) in which the Legacy Amplify Management Incentive Plan (the “Legacy Amplify MIP”) and the Legacy Amplify 2017 Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan (the “Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan”) were replaced by the EIP and no further awards will be allowed to be granted under the Legacy Amplify MIP or the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate of 1,553,416 shares were available for future grants under the EIP. Restricted Stock Units Restricted Stock Units with Service Vesting Condition The restricted stock units with service vesting conditions (“TSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost associated with the TSUs was $ 4.2 million at June 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years. 21 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table summarizes information regarding the TSUs granted under the EIP for the period presented: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted- ​ ​ ​ ​ Average Grant- ​ ​ Number of ​ Date Fair Value ​ ​ Units ​ per Unit (1) TSUs outstanding at December 31, 2021 1,074,420 ​ $ 3.66 Granted (2) 844,676 ​ $ 3.64 Forfeited ( 24,375 ) ​ $ 3.52 Vested ( 347,502 ) ​ $ 3.62 TSUs outstanding at June 30, 2022 1,547,219 ​ $ 3.66 (1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant-date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. (2) The aggregate grant-date fair value of TSUs issued for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $ 3.1 million based on a grant date market price at $ 3.64 per share. Restricted Stock Units with Market and Service Vesting Conditions The restricted stock units with market and service vesting conditions (“PSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The unrecognized cost related to the PSUs was less than $ 0.1 million at June 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years. The PSUs will vest based on the satisfaction of service and market vesting conditions, with market vesting based on the Company’s achievement of certain share price targets. The PSUs are subject to service-based vesting such that 50 % of the PSUs service vest on the applicable market vesting date and an additional 25 % of the PSUs service vest on each of the first and second anniversaries of the applicable market vesting date. In the event of a qualifying termination, subject to certain conditions, (i) all PSUs that have satisfied the market vesting conditions will fully service vest, upon such termination, and (ii) if the termination occurs between the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, then PSUs that have not market vested as of the termination will market vest to the extent that the share targets (in each case, reduced by $ 0.25 ) are achieved as of such termination. Subject to the foregoing, any unvested PSUs will be forfeited upon termination of employment. A Monte Carlo simulation was used in order to determine the fair value of these awards at the grant date. The following table summarizes information regarding the PSUs granted under the EIP for the period presented: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted- ​ ​ ​ ​ Average Grant- ​ ​ Number of ​ Date Fair Value ​ ​ Units ​ per Unit (1) PSUs outstanding at December 31, 2021 65,940 ​ $ 2.87 Granted — ​ $ — Forfeited ( 8,864 ) ​ $ 2.11 Vested — ​ $ — PSUs & outstanding at June 30, 2022 57,076 ​ $ 2.99 (1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards by the number of awards issued. 22 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Restricted Stock Units with Market Vesting Conditions The restricted stock units with performance-based vesting conditions (“PRSUs”) are accounted for as equity-classified awards. The grant-date fair value is recognized as compensation cost on a graded-vesting basis. As such, the Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were, in substance, multiple awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation costs are recorded as general and administrative expense. The 2022 PRSUs were issued with a three year vesting period beginning on the grant date and ending on the third anniversary of the grant date. Vesting of PRSUs can range from zero to 200 % of the target units granted based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return as compared to the total shareholder return of the Company’s performance peer group over the performance period. The fair value of each PRSU award was estimated on their grant dates using a Monte Carlo simulation. The unrecognized cost associated with the PRSUs was $ 1.2 million at June 30, 2022. The Company expects to recognize the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years. The 2021 PRSUs awards were issued collectively in separate tranches with individual performances periods beginning in January 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively. For each of the 2021 PRSUs awards the performance period, will vest based on the percentage of the target PRSUs subject to the performance vesting condition, with 25 % able to vest during the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; 25 % able to vest during the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 and 50 % able to vest during the period of January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

In connection with the closing of the merger, on August 6, 2019, the Company assumed the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan. As noted above, the Legacy Amplify Non-Employee Directors Compensation Plan was replaced by the EIP in May 2021. 23 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

Leases The Company has leases for office space and equipment in its corporate office and operating regions as well as warehouse space, vehicles, compressors and surface rentals related to its business operations. In addition, the Company has offshore Southern California pipeline right-of-way use agreements. Most of the Company’s leases, other than its corporate office lease, have an initial term and may be extended on a month-to-month basis after expiration of the initial term. Most of the Company’s leases can be terminated with 30-day prior written notice. The majority of its month-to-month leases are not included as a lease liability in its balance sheet under ASC 842 because continuation of the lease is not reasonably certain. Additionally, the Company elected the short-term practical expedient to exclude leases with a term of twelve months or less. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s leases qualified as operating leases and it did not have any existing or new leases qualifying as financing leases or variable leases. The Company’s corporate office lease does not provide an implicit rate. To determine the present value of the lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the inception date. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company applies a portfolio approach based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment. The Company uses a reasonable market interest rate for its office equipment and vehicle leases. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 1.2 million, respectively, of costs relating to the operating leases in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 24 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP.

Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Environmental As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no material contingent liabilities recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements associated with any litigation, pending or threatened. Although the Company is insured against various risks to the extent it believes it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify it against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no environmental reserves recorded in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Southern California Pipeline Incident The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are named defendants in a putative class action pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and certain forms of injunctive relief. The Company is also participating in a related claims process organized under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, 33 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq. (“OPA 90”). Under OPA 90, a party alleged to be responsible for a discharge of oil is required to establish a claims process to pay for interim costs and damages as a result of the discharge. The OPA 90 claims process remains ongoing. Future litigation may be necessary, among other things, to defend the Company by determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of claims. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Minimum Volume Commitment The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in Oklahoma, which includes certain minimum NGL commitments. To the extent the Company does not deliver natural gas volumes in sufficient quantities to generate, when processed, the minimum levels of recovered NGLs, it would be required to reimburse the counterparty an amount equal to the sum of the monthly shortfall, if any, multiplied by a fee. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for Oklahoma ends on June 30, 2023. The Company is party to a gas purchase, gathering and processing contract in East Texas, which includes certain minimum gas commitments. The Company is not meeting the minimum volume required under this contractual provision. The commitment fee expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was approximately $ 0.6 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively. The minimum volume commitment for East Texas ends on November 30, 2022. 27 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Sinking Fund Trust Agreement Beta Operating Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary, assumed an obligation with a third party to make payments into a sinking fund in connection with its 2009 acquisition of the Company properties in federal waters offshore Southern California, the purpose of which is to provide funds adequate to decommission the portion of the San Pedro Bay Pipeline that lies within state waters and the surface facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, the operator of the properties is obligated to make monthly deposits into the sinking fund account in an amount equal to $ 0.25 per barrel of oil and other liquid hydrocarbon produced from the acquired working interest. Interest earned in the account stays in the account. The obligation to fund ceases when the aggregate value of the account reaches $ 4.3 million. As of June 30, 2022, the account balance included in restricted investments was approximately $ 4.3 million. Supplemental Bond for Decommissioning Liabilities Trust Agreement Beta Operating Company, LLC (“Beta”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has an obligation with the BOEM in connection with its 2009 acquisition of the Company’s properties in federal waters offshore Southern California. The Company supports this obligation with $ 161.3 million of A-rated surety bonds. As of June 30, 2022, the account balance included in restricted investments was $ 4.3 million. ​ Note 15. Income Taxes The Company had no income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0 % for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are different from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to the Company’s recorded valuation allowances. ​ Note 16. Southern California Pipeline Incident On October 2, 2021, contractors operating under the direction of Beta, a subsidiary of Amplify, observed an oil sheen on the water approximately four miles off the coast of Newport Beach, California (the “Incident”). Beta platform personnel were notified and promptly initiated the Company’s Oil Spill Response Plan, which was reviewed and approved by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s Oil Spill Preparedness Division within the United States Department of the Interior, and which included the required notifications of specified regulatory agencies. On October 3, 2021, a Unified Command, consisting of the Company, the U.S. Coast Guard and California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response, was established to respond to the Incident. On October 5, 2021, the Unified Command announced that reports from its contracted commercial divers and Remotely Operated Vehicle footage indicated that a 4,000 -foot section of the Company’s pipeline had been displaced with a maximum lateral movement of approximately 105 feet and that the pipeline had a 13 -inch split, running parallel to the pipe. On October 14, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had a high degree of confidence the size of the release was approximately 588 barrels of oil, which is below the previously reported maximum estimate of 3,134 barrels. On October 16, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the Mediterranean Shipping Company (DANIT) as a “vessel of interest” and its owner Dordellas Finance Corporation and operator Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. as parties in interest in connection with an anchor-dragging incident, in January 2021 (the “Anchor Dragging Incident”), which occurred in close proximity to the Company’s pipeline, and that additional vessels of interest continued to be investigated. On November 19, 2021, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that it had identified the COSCO (Beijing) as another vessel involved in the Anchor Dragging Incident and named its owner Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia and its operator V.Ships Greece Ltd. as parties in interest. The cause, timing and details regarding the Incident remain under investigation. 28 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS At the height of the Incident response, the Company deployed over 1,800 personnel working under the guidance and at the direction of the Unified Command to aid in cleanup operations. As of October 14, 2021, all beaches that had been closed following the Incident have reopened. On February 2, 2022, the Unified Command announced that response and monitoring efforts have officially concluded for the Incident, and Unified Command would stand down as of such date. Amplify is grateful to its Unified Command partners for their collaboration and professionalism over the course of the response. In response to the Incident, all operations have been suspended and the pipeline has been shut-in until the Company receives the required regulatory approvals to begin operations. On October 4, 2021, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) issued a Corrective Action Order (CAO) pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 60112, which makes clear that no restart of the affected pipeline may occur until PHMSA has approved a written restart plan. Additionally, the California Coastal Commission requested approval from the Office of Coastal Management for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) to conduct a Coastal Zone Management Act consistency review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 application for the proposed permanent repair permit; on April 7, 2022, NOAA denied that request. The Company is working expeditiously and cooperatively to comply with the requirements of the relevant agencies in order to gain such approvals and any other regulatory approvals that are necessary to permanently repair the pipeline and restart operations. As a result of the uncertainties related to the permitting and regulatory approval process, the Company can provide no assurances as to whether and when, if at all, operation will restart at the Beta field. At present, no operations are underway in the Beta field. On December 15, 2021, a federal grand jury in the Central District of California returned a federal criminal indictment against Amplify Energy Corp., Beta Operating Company, LLC, and San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company in connection with the Incident. The indictment alleges that the Company committed a misdemeanor violation of the federal Clean Water Act for negligently discharging oil into the contiguous zone of the United States. A trial is set for November 1, 2022. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California has stated that its investigation of the Incident and related matters is ongoing. State authorities are conducting parallel criminal investigations as well. We are continuing to cooperate with these federal and state investigations. The outcome of these investigations is uncertain, including whether they will result in additional criminal charges. The Company is currently subject to a number of ongoing investigations related to the Incident by certain federal and state agencies. To date, the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Department of Justice, PHMSA, the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the California Department of Justice, the Orange County District Attorney, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, and the California Department of Fish & Wildlife are conducting investigations or examinations of the Incident. On April 8, 2022, in light of the allegations raised in the December 15, 2021 federal indictment, the Company received a Show Cause Notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) asking the Company to provide information as to why it should not be suspended from participating in future Federal contracting and assisting activities pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 180.700(a), (c) and 2 C.F.R. § 180.800(a)(4). On April 22, 2022, the Company responded to the Show Cause Notice and is working cooperatively with the EPA in connection with this matter. Other federal agencies may or have commenced investigations and proceedings, and may initiate enforcement actions seeking penalties and other relief under the Clean Water Act and other statutes. Amplify continues to comply with all regulatory requirements and investigations. The outcomes of these investigations and the nature of any remedies pursued will depend on the discretion of the relevant authorities and may result in regulatory or other enforcement actions, as well as civil and criminal liability. 29 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company and two subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a consolidated putative class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated class action complaint on January 28, 2022 and an amended complaint on March 21, 2022. Plaintiffs assert claims against the Company, Beta Operating Company, LLC, San Pedro Bay Pipeline Company, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., the MSC Danit (proceeding in rem), Costamare Shipping Co. S.A., Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia, V.Ships Greece Ltd., and the COSCO Beijing (proceeding in rem). The Company filed a third-party complaint on February 28, 2022, and an amended complaint on June 21, 2022. The Company sued the same shipping defendants and has added claims against the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, COSCO Shipping Lines Co. Ltd., COSCO (Cayman) Mercury Co. Ltd., and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.r.l. The Company has moved to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ complaint, and the Marine Exchange of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor and certain of the shipping defendants have moved to dismiss the Company’s complaint. A hearing on the motions to dismiss is scheduled for August 25, 2022. Further, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Dordellas Finance Corp., and Capetanissa Maritime Corporation of Liberia have filed petitions for limitations of liability under maritime law in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The court consolidated the limitation actions into a single limitation action and also coordinated discovery between the consolidated limitation and the consolidated class actions. Resolution of the civil litigation may take considerable time, and it is not possible at this time to estimate the Company’s potential liability resulting from these actions. Under the OPA 90, the Company’s pipeline was designated by the U.S. Coast Guard as the source of the oil discharge and therefore the Company is financially responsible for remediation and for certain costs and economic damages as provided for in OPA 90, as well as certain natural resource damages associated with the spill and certain costs determined by federal and state trustees engaged in a joint assessment of such natural resource damages. The Company is currently processing covered claims under OPA 90 as expeditiously as possible. In addition, the Natural Resource Damage Assessment remains ongoing and therefore the extent, timing and cost related to such assessment are difficult to project. While the Company anticipates insurance will reimburse it for expenses related to the Natural Resource Damage Assessment, any potentially uncovered expenses may be material and could impact the Company’s business and results of operations and could put pressure on its liquidity position going forward. The Company currently estimates that the total costs it has incurred or will incur with respect to the Incident to be approximately $ 110.0 million to $ 130.0 million, which is primarily related to (i) actual and projected response and remediation expenses incurred under the direction of the Unified Command and (ii) estimates for certain legal fees. These estimates consider currently available facts and presently enacted laws and regulations. The Company has made assumptions regarding (i) the probable and estimable amounts expected to be settled with certain vendors for response and remediation expenses and (ii) the resolution of certain third-party claims, excluding claims with respect to losses, which are not probable and reasonably estimable, and (iii) future claims and lawsuits. The Company’s estimates do not include (i) the nature, extent and cost of future legal services that will be required in connection with all lawsuits, claims and other matters requiring legal or expert advice associated with the Incident, (ii) any lost revenue associated with the suspension of operations at Beta, (iii) any liabilities or costs that are not reasonably estimable at this time or that relate to contingencies where the Company currently regards the likelihood of loss as being only reasonably possible or remote and (iv) the costs associated with the permanent repair of the pipeline and the restart of the Beta operations. The Company believes it has accrued adequate amounts for all probable and reasonably estimable costs; however, this estimate is subject to uncertainties associated with the assumptions that it has made. For example, settlements with vendors for response and remediation expenses could turn out to be significantly higher or lower than the Company has estimated. Accordingly, as the Company’s assumptions and estimates may change in future periods based on future events and total costs may materially increase, the Company can provide no assurance that it will not have to accrue significant additional costs in future periods with respect to the Incident. In accordance with customary insurance practice, the Company maintains insurance policies, including loss of production income insurance, against many potential losses or liabilities arising from its operations and at costs that the Company believes to be economic. The Company regularly reviews its risk of loss and the cost and availability of insurance and revises its insurance accordingly. The Company’s insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with its operations and is subject to certain exclusions and deductibles. While the Company expects its insurance policies will cover a material portion of the total aggregate costs associated with the Incident, including but not limited to response and remediation expenses, defense costs and loss of revenue resulting from suspended operations, it can provide no assurance that its coverage will adequately protect it against liability from all potential consequences, damages and losses related to the Incident and such view and understanding is preliminary and subject to change. 30 Table of Contents AMPLIFY ENERGY CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company incurred total aggregate gross costs of $ 18.7 million. Of these costs, the Company has received, or expects that it is probable that it will receive, $ 13.0 million in insurance recoveries. The remaining amount of $ 5.7 million, which primarily relates to certain legal costs, is not expected to be recovered under an insurance policy and is classified as “Pipeline Incident Loss” on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company’s insurance receivables were $ 26.5 million and $ 49.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $ 35.7 million in insurance recoveries. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $ 26.2 million related to approved loss of production income (“LOPI”) insurance proceeds, which is classified as “Other Revenues” in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company received approval for approximately $ 6.2 million of LOPI proceeds for the period from July 1, 2022 through August 12, 2022. ​ ​ 31 Table of Contents
