PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Note 1 — Overview
Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Par” or the “Company”) own and operate market-leading energy and infrastructure businesses. Our strategy is to acquire and develop businesses in logistically-complex markets. Currently, we operate in three primary business segments:
1) Refining - We own and operate four refineries with total throughput capacity of over 200 thousand barrels per day in Hawaii, Wyoming, and Washington.
2) Retail - Our retail outlets in Hawaii, Washington, and Idaho sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise through Hele, “76”, “ Cenex® ,” and “Zip Trip®” branded sites, “nomnom” branded company-operated convenience stores, 7-Eleven operated convenience stores, other sites operated by third parties, and unattended cardlock stations.
3) Logistics - We operate an extensive multi-modal logistics network spanning the Pacific, the Northwest, and the Rockies that primarily transports and stores our crude oil and refined products for our refineries and transports refined products to our retail sites or third-party purchasers.
As of September 30, 2020 , we owned a 46.0 % equity investment in Laramie Energy, LLC (“ Laramie Energy ”). Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.
Our Corporate and Other reportable segment primarily includes general and administrative costs.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts previously reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year or for any other period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 .
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
The worldwide spread and severity of a new coronavirus, referred to as COVID-19, and certain developments in the global crude oil markets have impacted our businesses, people, and operations. We are actively responding to these ongoing matters and many uncertainties remain. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation, the full magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our estimates and assumptions, financial condition, future results of operations, and future cash flows and liquidity is uncertain and has been and may continue to be material.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our sales of refined products. Credit limits and/or prepayment requirements are set based on such factors as the customer’s financial results, credit rating, payment history, and industry and are reviewed annually for customers with material credit limits. Credit allowances are reviewed at least quarterly based on changes in the customer’s creditworthiness due to economic conditions, liquidity, and business strategy as publicly reported and through discussions between the customer and the Company. We establish provisions for losses on trade receivables based on the estimated
6
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
credit loss we expect to incur over the life of the receivable. We did not have a material change in our allowances on trade receivables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019 .
Cost Classifications
Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) includes the hydrocarbon-related costs of inventory sold, transportation costs of delivering product to customers, crude oil consumed in the refining process, costs to satisfy our Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”) obligations, and certain hydrocarbon fees and taxes. Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) also includes the unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives and inventory valuation adjustments. Certain direct operating expenses related to our logistics segment are also included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation).
Operating expense (excluding depreciation) includes direct costs of labor, maintenance and services, energy and utility costs, property taxes, and environmental compliance costs, as well as chemicals and catalysts and other direct operating expenses.
The following table summarizes depreciation and finance lease amortization expense excluded from each line item in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no developments to recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 , except for the following:
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This ASU provides for optional expedients and allowable exceptions to GAAP to ease the potential burden in recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, especially in regards to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). ASU 2020-04 is applicable to contract modifications that meet certain requirements and are entered into between March 12, 2020 and December 31, 2022. We have several contracts that reference LIBOR, some of which terminate after LIBOR is anticipated to cease being reported in 2021. We are currently reviewing the effect that the election of ASU 2020-04 would have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accounting Principles Adopted
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , as amended by other ASUs issued since June 2016 (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this optional transition method, information presented prior to January 1, 2020 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the period. There was no adjustment to our opening retained earnings as a result of the adoption of this ASU. ASU 2016-13 requires expected credit losses on financial instruments to be recorded over the estimated life of the financial instrument. Prior to this ASU, the guidance required recording of credit losses when those losses were incurred. ASU 2016-13 is applicable to credit losses and allowances on loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and certain other financial assets, but excludes derivative assets under FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” Our adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminated Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity is no longer required to determine a goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This ASU changed the policy under which we perform our goodwill impairment assessments by eliminating Step 2 of the test.

PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ( “ ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amended, added, and removed certain disclosure requirements under FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement.” The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or related disclosures.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ( “ ASU 2018-15”), using the prospective method and information that was presented prior to January 1, 2020 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Note 3 — Investment in Laramie Energy, LLC
As of September 30, 2020 , we had a 46.0 % ownership interest in Laramie Energy . Laramie Energy is focused on producing natural gas in Garfield, Mesa, and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado.
Laramie Energy has a $ 400 million revolving credit facility with a borrowing base currently set at $ 200.9 million that is secured by a lien on its natural gas and crude oil properties and related assets. As of September 30, 2020 , the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was approximately $ 200.0 million . We are guarantors of Laramie Energy ’s credit facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of our equity interest in our wholly owned subsidiary, Par Piceance Energy Equity, LLC. Under the terms of its credit facility, Laramie Energy is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us. On April 23, 2020, Laramie Energy extended the credit facility from its original maturity date of December 15, 2020 to December 15, 2021.
At March 31, 2020, we conducted an impairment evaluation of our investment in Laramie Energy because of (i) the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) an increase in the weighted-average cost of capital for energy companies, and (iii) continuing declines in natural gas prices through the first quarter of 2020. Based on our evaluation, we determined that the estimated fair value of our investment in Laramie Energy was $ 1.9 million , compared to a carrying value of $ 47.2 million at March 31, 2020. The fair value estimate was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on natural gas forward strip prices as of March 31, 2020 for the years 2020 and 2021 of the forecast, and a blend of forward strip pricing and third-party analyst pricing for the years 2022 through 2028. Other significant inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis included proved and unproved reserves information, forecasts of operating expenditures, and the applicable discount rate. As a result, we recorded an other-than temporary impairment charge of $ 45.3 million in Equity earnings (losses) from Laramie Energy, LLC on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Note 4 — Acquisitions
Washington Acquisition
On November 26, 2018 , we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire U.S. Oil & Refining Co. and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “ U.S. Oil ”), a privately-held downstream business (the “ Washington Acquisition ”). The Washington Acquisition included a 42 Mbpd refinery, a marine terminal, a unit train-capable rail loading terminal, and 2.9 MMbbls of refined product and crude oil storage. The refinery and associated logistics system are strategically located in Tacoma, Washington, and currently serve the Pacific Northwest market. On January 11, 2019 , we completed the Washington Acquisition for a total purchase price of $ 326.5 million , including acquired working capital, consisting of cash consideration of $ 289.5 million and approximately 2.4 million shares of Par’s common stock with a fair value of $ 37.0 million issued to the seller of U.S. Oil. The cash consideration was funded in part through cash on hand, proceeds from borrowings under a new term loan facility entered into with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, of $ 250.0 million (the “ Term Loan B ”), and proceeds from borrowings under a term loan from the Bank of Hawaii of $ 45.0 million (the “ Par Pacific Term Loan ”). Please read Note 10—Debt for further information on the Term Loan B and Par Pacific Term Loan . In January 2019, we incurred $ 5.4 million of commitment fees associated with the funding of the Washington Acquisition . Such commitment fees are presented as Debt extinguishment and commitment costs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition , we assumed the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with Merrill Lynch Commodities, Inc. (“MLC”) that provides a structured financing arrangement based on U.S. Oil ’s crude oil and refined products inventories and associated accounts receivable. Please read Note 9—Inventory Financing Agreements for further information on the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement .
We accounted for the Washington Acquisition as a business combination whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with those of the Washington refinery and the utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill recognized as a result of the Washington Acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

( 67,922

Balance at September 30, 2020

At March 31, 2020, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test of all of our reporting units due to (i) the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and (ii) a steep decline in current and forecasted prices and demand for crude oil and refined products. As part of our quantitative impairment test, we compared the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. In assessing the fair value of the reporting units, we primarily utilized a market approach based on observable multiples for comparable companies within our industry. Our refining reporting units in Hawaii and Washington were fully impaired and the goodwill associated with our retail reporting unit in Washington and Idaho was partially impaired, resulting in a charge of $ 67.9 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 . The goodwill impairment expense was allocated to the Refining segment ( $ 38.1 million ) and to the Retail segment ( $ 29.8 million ).
Note 9 — Inventory Financing Agreements
Supply and Offtake Agreements
On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company LLC (“J. Aron”) to support the operations of our Par East Hawaii refinery (the “Supply and Offtake Agreements”). The Supply and Offtake Agreements mature on May 31, 2021 and have a one -year extension option upon mutual agreement of the parties. We are evaluating options to extend or replace the Supply and Offtake Agreements. Under the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron may enter into agreements with third parties whereby J. Aron will remit payments to these third parties for refinery procurement contracts for which we will become immediately obligated to reimburse J. Aron. As of September 30, 2020 , we had no obligations due to J. Aron under this contractual undertakings agreement. On December 5, 2018 , we amended the Supply and Offtake Agreements to account for additional processing capacity to be provided by the Par West Hawaii refinery. The amendment to the Supply and Offtake Agreements also (i) required us to increase our margin requirements by an aggregate $ 2.5 million by making certain additional margin payments on December 19, 2018 , March 1, 2019 , and June 3, 2019 , and (ii) only allows dividends, payments, or other distributions with respect to any equity interests in Par Hawaii Refining, LLC (“ PHR ”), our wholly owned subsidiary, in limited and restricted circumstances.
During the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron and we will identify mutually acceptable contracts for the purchase of crude oil from third parties. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron will provide up to 150 Mbpd of crude oil to our Hawaii refineries . Additionally, we agreed to sell and J. Aron agreed to buy, at market prices, refined products produced at our Hawaii refineries . We will then repurchase the refined products from J. Aron prior to selling the refined products to our retail operations or to third parties. The agreements also provide for the lease of crude oil and certain refined product storage
13

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
facilities to J. Aron. Following the expiration or termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we are obligated to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then-owned by J. Aron and located at the leased storage facilities at then-current market prices.
Though title to the crude oil and certain refined product inventories resides with J. Aron, the Supply and Offtake Agreements are accounted for similar to a product financing arrangement; therefore, the crude oil and refined products inventories will continue to be included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets until processed and sold to a third party. Each reporting period, we record a liability in an amount equal to the amount we expect to pay to repurchase the inventory held by J. Aron based on current market prices.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , we incurred approximately $ 2.2 million and $ 8.9 million of inventory intermediation fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively, which are included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we incurred approximately $ 9.1 million and $ 24.7 million of inventory intermediation fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , Interest expense and financing costs, net , on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $ 0.4 million and $ 2.5 million of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , Interest expense and financing costs, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $ 1.3 million and $ 4.3 million of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, respectively.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement (“Deferred Payment Arrangement”) whereby we can defer payments owed under the agreements up to the lesser of $ 165 million or 85 % of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we paid J. Aron a deferral arrangement fee of $ 1.3 million . The deferred amounts under the Deferred Payment Arrangement bear interest at a rate equal to three -month LIBOR plus 3.50 % per annum. We also agreed to pay a deferred payment availability fee equal to 0.75 % of the unused capacity under the Deferred Payment Arrangement. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in Obligations under inventory financing agreements on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within Cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the capacity of the Deferred Payment Arrangement was $ 66.5 million and $ 155.5 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , we had $ 51.9 million and $ 97.5 million outstanding, respectively, under the Deferred Payment Arrangements.
Under the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we pay or receive certain fees from J. Aron based on changes in market prices over time. In 2017, we fixed the market fee for the period from June 1, 2018 through May 2021 for $ 2.2 million . In 2020, we fixed the market fee for the period from February 1, 2020 through April 1, 2021 for an additional $ 0.8 million to be settled in fifteen payments. The receivable from J. Aron was recorded as a reduction to our Obligations under inventory financing agreements as allowed under the Supply and Offtake Agreements. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the receivable was $ 0.8 million and $ 0.5 million , respectively.
Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Washington Acquisition , we became a party to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement with MLC that provides a structured financing arrangement based on U.S. Oil ’s crude oil and refined products inventories and associated accounts receivable. Under this arrangement, U.S. Oil purchases crude oil supplied from third-party suppliers and MLC provides credit support for such crude oil purchases. MLC ’s credit support can consist of either providing a payment guaranty, causing the issuance of a letter of credit from a third-party issuing bank, or purchasing crude oil directly from third parties on our behalf. U.S. Oil holds title to all crude oil and refined products inventories at all times and pledges such inventories, together with all receivables arising from the sales of the same, exclusively to MLC . On November 1, 2019 , we and MLC amended the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement and extended the term through June 30, 2021 , with an option for us to early terminate as early as March 31, 2021 . We are evaluating options to extend or replace the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement .
During the remaining term of the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement , MLC will make receivable advances to U.S. Oil based on an advance rate of 95 % of eligible receivables, up to a total receivables advance maximum of $ 90.0 million (the “ MLC receivable advances ”), and additional advances based on crude oil and products inventories. Changes in the amount outstanding under the MLC receivable advances are included within Cash flows from financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The MLC receivable advances bear interest at a rate equal to three -month LIBOR plus 3.25 % per annum. We also agreed to pay an availability fee equal to 1.50 % of the unused capacity under the MLC receivable advances . As part of the November 1, 2019 amendment, the availability fee was amended to equal 0.75 % of the unused capacity

under the MLC receivable advances. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , our outstanding balance under the MLC receivable advances was equal to our borrowing base of $ 48.5 million and $ 63.8 million , respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , we had approximately $ 71.3 million and $ 127.2 million in letters of credit outstanding through MLC ’s credit support, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , we incurred approximately $ 1.0 million and $ 3.1 million of inventory intermediation fees, respectively, related to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement , which are included in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we incurred approximately $ 0.9 million and $ 2.7 million of inventory intermediation fees related to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , Interest expense and financing costs, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $ 0.5 million and $ 2.2 million of expenses related to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , Interest expense and financing costs, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $ 2.0 million and $ 4.8 million of expenses related to the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement , respectively.
The Supply and Offtake Agreements and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement also provide us with the ability to economically hedge price risk on our inventories and crude oil purchases. Please read Note 11—Derivatives for further information.

The ABL Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility that provides for revolving loans and for the issuance of letters of credit (the “ ABL Revolver ”). On July 24, 2018 , we amended the ABL Credit Facility to increase the maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of the ABL Revolver by $ 10 million to $ 85 million , subject to a borrowing base. As of September 30, 2020 , the ABL Revolver had no outstanding balance and a borrowing base of approximately $ 48.8 million .
5.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2021
As of September 30, 2020 , the outstanding principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was $ 48.7 million , the unamortized discount and deferred financing cost was $ 2.0 million , and the carrying amount of the liability component was $ 46.6 million . During May, June, and December 2019, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements with a limited number of holders (the “Noteholders”) to repurchase $ 66.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes held by the Noteholders for an aggregate of $ 18.6 million in cash and approximately 3.2 million shares of our common stock with a fair value of $ 74.3 million . We recognized a loss of approximately $ 3.7 million related to the May and June extinguishments of the repurchased 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Term Loan B Facility
On January 11, 2019 , Par Petroleum, LLC and Par Petroleum Finance Corp. entered into a new term loan facility with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “ Term Loan B Facility ”), pursuant to which the lenders made the Term Loan B to the borrowers in the principal amount of $ 250.0 million on the closing date. The net proceeds from Term Loan B totaled $ 232.0 million after deducting the original issue discount, deferred financing costs, and commitment and other fees and were used to finance the Washington Acquisition .
Loans under the Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility ) plus an applicable margin of 6.75 % or at a rate per annum equal to Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Facility ) plus an applicable margin of 5.75 % . In addition to the quarterly interest payments, Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $ 3.1 million . Term Loan B matures on January 11, 2026 .
Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement
On January 9, 2019 , we entered into a loan agreement (the “ Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement ”) with Bank of Hawaii (“BOH”), pursuant to which BOH made a loan to the company in the principal amount of $ 45.0 million , the net proceeds of which were used to finance the Washington Acquisition .
During the term of the Par Pacific Term Loan , the interest payments were due monthly and were based on the outstanding principal balance multiplied by a floating rate equal to 3.50 % above the applicable LIBOR rate (as defined in the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement ) subject to an increased default interest rate in the event of a default. The Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement was originally scheduled to mature on July 9, 2019 . We terminated and repaid all amounts outstanding under the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement on March 29, 2019 using the proceeds of the Retail Property Term Loan (as defined below). We recognized approximately $ 0.1 million of debt extinguishment costs related to the unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Retail Property Term Loan
On March 29, 2019 , Par Pacific Hawaii Property Company, LLC (“ Par Property LLC ”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a term loan agreement (the “ Retail Property Term Loan ”) with BOH, which provided a term loan in the principal amount of $ 45.0 million . The proceeds from the Retail Property Term Loan were used to repay and terminate the Par Pacific Term Loan Agreement .

12.875% Senior Secured Notes Due 2026
On June 5, 2020 , the Issuers completed the issuance and sale of $ 105 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.875% Senior Secured Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds of $ 98.8 million from the sale were used for general corporate purposes.
The 12.875% Senior Secured Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 12.875 % per year (payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2021) and will mature on January 15, 2026 . The indenture for the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes also allows for optional early redemptions, some of which require the Issuers to pay a premium and some of which have certain other restrictions related to timing and the maximum redeemable principal amount.
The obligations of the borrowers under the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed by the Issuers’ existing and future direct or indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than Par Petroleum Finance Corp.) and by Par Pacific Holdings, Inc. , with respect to principal and interest only. The 12.875% Senior Secured Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by first priority liens (subject to the relative priority of permitted liens) on substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors, but excluding certain assets which are collateral under the ABL Credit Facility , the Supply and Offtake Agreements, and the Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement .
Cross Default Provisions
Included within each of our debt agreements are affirmative and negative covenants, and customary cross default provisions, that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand unless the triggering payment default or acceleration is remedied, rescinded, or waived. As of September 30, 2020 , we were in compliance with all of our debt instruments.
Guarantors
In connection with our shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 6, 2019 and declared effective on February 15, 2019 (“Registration Statement”), we may sell non-convertible debt securities and other securities in one or more offerings with an aggregate initial offering price of up to $ 750.0 million . Any non-convertible debt securities issued under the Registration Statement may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (except for customary release provisions), on a joint and several basis, by some or all of our subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries that are “minor” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). We have no “independent assets or operations” within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and certain of the Guarantor Subsidiaries may be subject to restrictions on their ability to distribute funds to us, whether by cash dividends, loans, or advances.
Note 11 — Derivatives
Commodity Derivatives
We utilize commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure in our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, future purchases and sales of refined products, and crude oil consumption in our refining process. The derivative contracts that we execute to manage our price risk include exchange traded futures, options, and over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps. Our futures, options, and OTC swaps are marked-to-market and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized within Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We are obligated to repurchase the crude oil and refined products from J. Aron at the termination of the Supply and Offtake Agreements. Our Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement contains forward purchase obligations for certain volumes of crude oil and refined products that are required to be settled at market prices on a monthly basis. We have determined that these obligations under the Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement contain embedded derivatives. As such, we have accounted for these embedded derivatives at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Cost of revenues (excluding depreciation) on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
17
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
We have entered into forward purchase contracts for crude oil and forward purchases and sales contracts of refined products. We elect the normal purchases normal sales (“NPNS”) exception for all forward contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and are not expected to net settle. Any gains and losses with respect to these forward contracts designated as NPNS are not reflected in earnings until the delivery occurs.
Our condensed consolidated balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. Please read Note 12—Fair Value Measurements for the gross fair value and net carrying value of our derivative instruments. Our cash margin that is required as collateral deposits cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default.
Our open futures and OTC swaps expire at various dates through December 2020 . At September 30, 2020 , our open commodity derivative contracts represented (in thousands of barrels):

At September 30, 2020 , we also had option collars of 75 thousand barrels of crude oil per month that expire in December 2020 and 25 thousand barrels of crude oil per month that commence in January 2021 and expire in December 2021 to economically hedge our internally consumed fuel at our Hawaii refineries . These option collars have a weighted-average strike price ranging from a floor of $ 48.77 per barrel to a ceiling of $ 65.00 per barrel and from a floor of $ 36.50 per barrel to a ceiling of $ 60.00 per barrel, respectively.
Interest Rate Derivatives
We are exposed to interest rate volatility in our ABL Revolver , Term Loan B Facility, Retail Property Term Loan , Supply and Offtake Agreements, and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement . We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2020 , we had entered into an interest rate swap at an average fixed rate of 3.91 % in exchange for the floating interest rate and on the notional amounts due under the Retail Property Term Loan . This swap expires on April 1, 2024 , the maturity date of the Retail Property Term Loan .
Our 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes include a redemption option and a related make-whole premium which represent an embedded derivative that is not clearly and closely related to the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes . As such, we have accounted for this embedded derivative at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Interest expense and financing costs, net , on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2020 , this embedded derivative was deemed to have a de minimis fair value.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Common Stock Warrants
As of December 31, 2019 , we had 354,350 common stock warrants outstanding. We estimated the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants using the difference between the strike price of the warrant and the market price of our common stock, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2019 , the warrants had a weighted-average exercise price of $ 0.09 and a remaining term of 2.67 years . The estimated fair value of the common stock warrants was $ 23.16 per share as of December 31, 2019 .
During January and March 2020 , one of our stockholders and its affiliates exercised 354,350 common stock warrants with a fair value of $ 3.9 million . As a result of this cashless transaction, 350,542 shares of common stock were issued. As of September 30, 2020 , we had no common stock warrants outstanding.
Derivative Instruments
We utilize commodity derivative contracts to manage our price exposure to our inventory positions, future purchases of crude oil, future purchases and sales of refined products, and cost of crude oil consumed in the refining process. We may utilize interest rate swaps to manage our interest rate risk.
We classify financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. These include our exchange traded futures. Level 2 instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Our Level 2 instruments include OTC swaps and options. These derivatives are valued using market quotations published by commodity exchanges. Level 3 instruments are valued using significant unobservable inputs that are not readily observable in the market. The valuation of the embedded derivatives related to our J. Aron repurchase and MLC terminal obligations is based on estimates of the prices and differentials assuming settlement at the end of the reporting period. Estimates of the J. Aron and MLC settlement prices are based on observable inputs, such as Brent/WTI indices, and contractual price differentials as defined in the Supply and Offtake Agreements and Washington Refinery Intermediation Agreement . Such contractual differentials vary by location and by the type of product and range from a discount of $ 6.05 per barrel to a premium of $ 15.43 per barrel as of September 30, 2020 . Contractual price differentials are considered unobservable inputs; therefore, these embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3 instruments. We do not have other commodity derivatives classified as Level 3 at September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 . Please read Note 11—Derivatives for further information on derivatives.

The fair value measurements of the common stock warrants, Mid Pac Term Loan , Retail Property Term Loan , and PHL Term Loan are considered Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
(3)
The carrying value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes excludes the fair value of the equity component, which was classified as equity upon issuance.
The fair value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was determined by aggregating the fair value of the liability and equity components of the notes. The fair value of the liability component of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the projected interest and principal payments were discounted at an estimated market yield for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The equity component was estimated based on the Black-Scholes model for a call option with strike price equal to the conversion price, a term matching the remaining life of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes , and an implied volatility based on market values of options outstanding as of September 30, 2020 . The fair value of the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes is considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes , Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes were determined using a market approach based on quoted prices. The inputs used to measure the fair value are classified as Level 2

inputs within the fair value hierarchy because the 7.75% Senior Secured Notes , Term Loan B Facility, and 12.875% Senior Secured Notes may not be actively traded.
The Retail Property Term Loan is subject to a market-based floating interest rate. The Mid Pac Term Loan and PHL Term Loan are subject to fixed interest rates of 4.375 % and 2.750 % , respectively. The carrying values of our Retail Property, Mid Pac, and PHL Term Loans were determined to approximate fair value as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . The fair value of all non-derivative financial instruments recorded in current assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and trade accounts receivable, and current liabilities, including accounts payable, approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Note 13 — Leases
We have cancelable and non-cancelable finance and operating lease obligations for the lease of land, vehicles, office space, retail facilities, and other facilities used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined products.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits and other contingent matters. We establish accruals for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of one or more of these lawsuits or other contingencies could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
Like other petroleum refiners, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically-changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time. Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. For example, on September 30, 2020, we entered into a consent agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) stemming from the EPA’s claim that we failed to comply with certain statutorily required operating procedures and management system and process safety requirements at our Par West refinery. As a result of that consent agreement, we agreed to pay the EPA a penalty of $ 123,461 . We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. Except as disclosed below, we do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Wyoming Refinery
Our Wyoming refinery is subject to a number of consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements involving the EPA and/or the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, some of which date back to the late 1970s and several of which remain in effect, requiring further actions at the Wyoming refinery. The largest cost component arising from these various decrees relates to the investigation, monitoring, and remediation of soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment contamination associated with the facility’s historic operations. Investigative work by Hermes Consolidated LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wyoming Pipeline Company (collectively, “WRC” or “Wyoming Refining”) and negotiations with the relevant agencies as to remedial approaches remain ongoing on a number of aspects of the contamination, meaning that investigation, monitoring, and remediation costs are not reasonably estimable for some elements of these efforts. As of September 30, 2020 , we have accrued $ 15.8 million for the well-understood components of these efforts based on current information, approximately one-third of which we expect to incur in the next five years and the remainder to be incurred over approximately 30 years .
Additionally, we believe the Wyoming refinery will need to modify or close a series of wastewater impoundments in the next several years and replace those impoundments with a new wastewater treatment system. Based on current information, reasonable estimates we have received suggest costs of approximately $ 11.6 million to design and construct a new wastewater treatment system.
Finally, among the various historic consent decrees, orders, and settlement agreements into which Wyoming Refining has entered, there are several penalty orders associated with exceedances of permitted limits by the Wyoming refinery’s wastewater discharges. Although the frequency of these exceedances has declined over time, Wyoming Refining may become subject to new penalty enforcement action in the next several years, which could involve penalties in excess of $ 100,000 .
Regulation of Greenhouse Gases
The EPA regulates greenhouse gases (“GHG”) under the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”). New construction or material expansions that meet certain GHG emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a GHG permit be issued in accordance with the federal CAA regulations and we will be required, in connection with such permitting, to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce GHG emissions.
Furthermore, the EPA is currently developing refinery-specific GHG regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose GHG emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in the cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Additionally, the EPA ’s final rule updating standards that control toxic air emissions from petroleum refineries imposed additional controls and monitoring requirements on flaring operations, storage tanks, sulfur recovery units, delayed coking units,
24
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
and required fenceline monitoring. Compliance with this rule has not had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to date.
In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that GHG emissions be rolled back on a statewide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In June of 2014, the Hawaii Department of Health (“DOH”) adopted regulations that require each major facility to reduce CO 2 emissions by 16% by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which GHG emissions were reported to the EPA under 40 CFR Part 98). The Hawaii refineries ’ capacity to materially reduce fuel use and GHG emissions is limited because most energy conservation measures have already been implemented over the past 20 years. The regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities (principally power plants) that have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO 2 emissions in order to comply independently with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards. Accordingly, our Hawaii refineries submitted a GHG reduction plan that incorporates the partnering provisions and demonstrates that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary because of the Hawaii refineries’ shared baseline allocation and because the State of Hawaii has already reached the 1990 levels according to a report prepared by the DOH in January 2019.
In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (the “EISA”) which, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the U.S. by model year 2020 and contained an expanded Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS”). In August 2012, the EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) jointly adopted regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by model year 2025. On August 8, 2018, the EPA and NHTSA jointly proposed to revise existing fuel economy standards for model years 2021-2025 and to set standards for 2026 for the first time. On March 31, 2020, the agencies released updated fuel economy and vehicle emissions standards, which provide for an increase in stringency by 1.5% each year through model year 2026, as compared with the standards issued in 2012 that required 5% annual increases. Higher fuel economy standards have the potential to reduce demand for our refined transportation fuel products.
Under EISA, the RFS requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel to be blended into the nation’s transportation fuel supply, up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RFS will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. We, and other refiners subject to the RFS, may meet the RFS requirements by blending the necessary volumes of renewable fuels produced by us or purchased from third parties. To the extent that refiners will not or cannot blend renewable fuels into the products they produce in the quantities required to satisfy their obligations under the RFS program, those refiners must purchase renewable credits, referred to as RINs, to maintain compliance. To the extent that we exceed the minimum volumetric requirements for blending of renewable fuels, we have the option of retaining these RINs for current or future RFS compliance or selling those RINs on the open market. The RFS may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase D3 waivers from the EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.
In October 2010, the EPA issued a partial waiver decision under the federal CAA to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from 10% (“E10”) to 15% (“E15”) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In 2019, the EPA approved year-round sales of E15. There are numerous issues, including state and federal regulatory issues, that need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines; however, increased renewable fuel in the nation’s transportation fuel supply could reduce demand for our refined products.
In March 2014, the EPA published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that requires, among other things, that gasoline contain no more than 10 parts per million (“ppm”) sulfur on an annual average basis and no more than 80 ppm sulfur on a per-gallon basis. The standard also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics, and olefins content of gasoline. The effective date for the new standard was January 1, 2017, however, approved small volume refineries had until January 1, 2020 to meet the standard. The Par East Hawaii refinery was required to comply with Tier 3 gasoline standards within 30 months of June 21, 2016, the date it was disqualified from small volume refinery status. On March 19, 2015, the EPA confirmed the small refinery status of our Wyoming refinery. The Par East Hawaii refinery, our Wyoming refinery, and our Washington refinery, acquired in January 2019, were all granted small refinery status by the EPA for 2018. As of January 1, 2020, all four of our refineries were compliant with the final Tier 3 gasoline standard.
Beginning on June 30, 2014, new sulfur standards for fuel oil used by marine vessels operating within 200 miles of the U.S. coastline (which includes the entire Hawaiian Island chain) were lowered from 10,000 ppm (1%) to 1,000 ppm (0.1%). The sulfur standards began at the Hawaii refineries and were phased in so that by January 1, 2015, they were to be fully aligned with the International Marine Organization (“IMO”) standards and deadline. The more stringent standards apply universally to both U.S. and foreign-flagged ships. Although the marine fuel regulations provided vessel operators with a few compliance options such as installation of on-board pollution controls and demonstration unavailability, many vessel operators will be forced to switch
25
PAR PACIFIC HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
to a distillate fuel while operating within the Emission Control Area (“ECA”). Beyond the 200 mile ECA, large ocean vessels are still allowed to burn marine fuel with up to 3.5% sulfur. Our Hawaii refineries are capable of producing the 1% sulfur residual fuel oil that was previously required within the ECA. Although our Hawaii refineries remain in a position to supply vessels traveling to and through Hawaii, the market for 0.1% sulfur distillate fuel and 3.5% sulfur residual fuel is much more competitive.
In addition to U.S. fuels requirements, the IMO has also adopted newer standards that further reduce the global limit on sulfur content in maritime fuels to 0.5% beginning in 2020 (“IMO 2020”). Like the rest of the refining industry, we are focused on meeting these standards and may incur costs in producing lower-sulfur fuels.
There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA, RFS, IMO 2020, and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.
Environmental Agreement
On September 25, 2013 , Par Petroleum, LLC (formerly Hawaii Pacific Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the PHR acquisition), Tesoro Corporation (“Tesoro,” which changed its name to Andeavor Corporation before being purchased by Marathon Petroleum Company in October 2018), and PHR entered into an Environmental Agreement (“Environmental Agreement”) that allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of PHR , including the Consent Decree as described below.
Consent Decree
On July 18, 2016, PHR and subsidiaries of Tesoro entered into a consent decree with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and other state governmental authorities concerning alleged violations of the federal CAA related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates (“Consent Decree”), including the Par East Hawaii refinery. As a result of the Consent Decree, PHR expanded its previously-announced 2016 Par East Hawaii refinery turnaround to undertake additional capital improvements to reduce emissions of air pollutants and to provide for certain nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emission controls and monitoring required by the Consent Decree.
Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for directly paying, or reimbursing PHR, for all reasonable third-party capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omissions prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition. Tesoro is obligated to pay all applicable fines and penalties related to the Consent Decree.
Indemnification
In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breaches of Tesoro’s representations, warranties, and covenants in the Environmental Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, any fine, penalty, or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by PHR prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, certain groundwater remediation work, fines, or penalties imposed on PHR by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the date of the closing of the PHR acquisition, and claims and losses related to the Pearl City Superfund Site.
Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement. These limitations include a deductible of $ 1 million and a cap of $ 15 million for certain of Tesoro’s indemnification obligations related to certain pre-existing conditions, as well as certain restrictions regarding the time limits for submitting notice and supporting documentation for remediation actions.
Recovery Trusts
We emerged from the reorganization of Delta Petroleum Corporation (“Delta”) on August 31, 2012 (“Emergence Date”), when the plan of reorganization (“Plan”) was consummated. On the Emergence Date, we formed the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (“General Trust”). The General Trust was formed to pursue certain litigation against third parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and other claims and potential claims that Delta and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Debtors”) hold against third parties. On February 27, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered its final decree closing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases of Delta and the other Debtors, discharging the trustee for the General Trust, and finding that all assets of the General Trust were resolved, abandoned, or liquidated and have been distributed in accordance with the requirements of the Plan. In addition, the final decree
26

For the Interim Periods Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
required the Company or the General Trust, as applicable, to maintain the current accruals owed on account of the remaining claims of the U.S. Government and Noble Energy, Inc.
As of September 30, 2020 , two related claims totaling approximately $ 22.4 million remained to be resolved and we have accrued approximately $ 0.5 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end.
One of the two remaining claims was filed by the U.S. Government for approximately $ 22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. The second unliquidated claim, which is related to the same plugging and abandonment obligation, was filed by Noble Energy Inc., the operator and majority interest owner of the Sword Unit. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners and Delta, our predecessor, only owned an approximate 3.4 % aggregate working interest in the unit.
The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 54.4 shares per $1,000 of claim.

Note 16 — Income (Loss) per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares issuable under the common stock warrants, representing 82 thousand shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 354 thousand shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively. The common stock warrants are included in the calculation of basic income (loss) per share because they were issuable for minimal consideration. As of March 31, 2020, the previously outstanding common stock warrants had been exercised for common stock and no warrants were outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Participating securities include restricted stock that had been issued but had not yet vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 . These participating securities were fully vested as of December 31, 2019 .
(2)
Entities with a net loss from continuing operations are prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts. We have utilized the basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months September 30, 2019.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , our calculation of diluted shares outstanding excluded 160 thousand shares of unvested restricted stock and 1.8 million stock options.
As discussed in Note 10—Debt , we have the option of settling the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes in cash or shares of common stock, or any combination thereof, upon conversion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , diluted income per share was determined using the if-converted method. Our calculation of diluted shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 excluded 5.5 million common stock equivalents, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Note 17 — Income Taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets on the remaining amounts and a valuation allowance has been recorded for substantially all of our net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 .
We believe that any adjustment to our uncertain tax positions would no t have a material impact on our financial statements given the Company’s deferred tax and corresponding valuation allowance position as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 .

As of December 31, 2019 , we had approximately $ 1.4 billion in net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL carryforwards”); however, we currently have a valuation allowance against this and substantially all of our other deferred taxed assets.
Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carryforwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which our refining, retail, and logistics revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore, we expect to incur state tax liabilities in connection with our refining, retail, and logistics operations.
