During the second quarter of 2021 the fair value of Equus Energy, LLC, increased from $8.5 million to $10.25 million. This was due to price increases for crude and natural gas during the quarter, and recent comparable transactions in the Permian Basin where Equus Energy holds most of its productive working interests. Among the various leasehold rights held by Equus Energy is a 50% working interest in 2,400 acres in the Permian Basin known as the Conger Field. A number of transactions that completed in late 2020 and the first six months of 2021 were concentrated in the Permian Basin, at imputed acreage values considerably in excess of values ascribed to such acreage in the past several years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition Equus holds working interests of 7.5% and 2.5% in the Burnell and North Pettus Units, respectively, which collectively comprise approximately 13,000 acres located in the area known as the \u2018Eagle Ford Shale\u2019 play. The Company received advice and assistance from a third-party valuation firm to support its determination of the fair value of this investment.<\/p>\n

\n Significant Events During the Quarter <\/strong>
\n \n <\/p>\n

\n Follow-On Investment in Equus Energy<\/strong>\u2014 During the second quarter of 2021, we invested an additional $350,000 in Equus Energy to increase working capital and financial resources to explore potential transactions involving Equus Energy and its oil and gas assets.<\/p>\n
