Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks and others, to assess our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis. It is also used to assess our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Our Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
On February 10, 2016, the Company and privately held Davis Petroleum Acquisition Corp. ("Davis") entered into a definitive merger agreement for an all-stock transaction. The merger agreement is subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies, as well as other customary conditions and approvals, including authorization to list the newly issued shares on the NYSE MKT. Upon completion of the transaction, we will reincorporate in Delaware, implement a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock, and convert each share of our existing Series A Preferred Stock into 35 shares of common stock prior to giving effect for the reverse split (3.5 shares post reverse split). In addition, we will issue approximately 3.3 million shares of a new Series D preferred stock to existing Davis preferred stockholders, which will have a liquidation preference of approximately $19.0 million and is estimated to have a conversion price of approximately $5.70 per share, after giving effect for the reverse split. Upon closing, there will be an aggregate of approximately 23.7 million shares of our common stock outstanding, with approximately 61.1% being owned by the current common stockholders of Davis. The transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and is expected to close in mid-2016.
Davis is a Houston-based oil and gas company. Over 90% of the common stock of Davis is owned by entities controlled by or co-investing with Evercore Capital Partners, Red Mountain Capital Partners, and Sankaty Advisors.
On December 30, 2015, we entered into the Waiver, Borrowing Base Redetermination and Ninth Amendment (the "Amendment") to our Credit Agreement (the "credit agreement") with Société Générale (the "Bank") as administrative agent and issuing bank, and each of the lenders and guarantors party thereto. Pursuant to the Amendment, the borrowing base under the credit agreement was reduced from $35.0 million to $29.8 million and will automatically be reduced to $20.0 million on May 31, 2016 unless otherwise reduced to a different amount by our lenders. The credit agreement is secured by a first lien on substantially all of our assets. The Amendment also provided a waiver of certain financial covenants related to the maximum permitted ratio of funded debt to EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Further, pursuant to the Amendment, we agreed that we would engage an investment bank to explore strategic options related to our financial condition and seek additional capital in an aggregate amount sufficient for us to pay any borrowing base deficiency or enter into a definitive agreement for the acquisition by a third party of all or substantially all of our assets by merger, asset purchase, equity purchase or other structure acceptable to the Bank and the lenders. Thereafter, on February 10, 2016, we entered into the merger agreement with Davis as discussed above.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 included a going concern qualification. The financial statements were included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2016 and the 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2016. Generally, the net losses incurred and borrowing base deficiencies under the Credit agreement as discussed above raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As discussed above, on February 10, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Davis for an all-stock transaction. Upon completion of the transaction, which is subject to shareholder and bank approval as well as other customary conditions and approvals, and in the absence of significant reduction in commodity prices, the Company believes it will be able to satisfy its lenders and eliminate any borrowing base deficiency. While Management believes that the merger is likely to occur, it can provide no assurance of the completion of the merger with Davis or any elimination of its borrowing base deficiency or any amendment to the credit agreement.
Please refer to our recently filed annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, and all our filings with the SEC for further information.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Statements that are not strictly historical statements constitute forward-looking statements and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of such words such as "expects," "believes," "intends," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "potential," "possible," or "probable" or statements that certain actions, events or results "may," "will," "should," or "could" be taken, occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements include statements about future operations, estimates of reserve and production volumes and the anticipated timing for closing the proposed merger. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by Yuma and Davis in light of experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with expectations is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the possibility that the companies may be unable to obtain stockholder approval or satisfy the other conditions to closing; the possibility that the combined company may be unable to obtain an acceptable reserve-based credit facility; that problems may arise in the integration of the businesses of the two companies; that the acquisition may involve unexpected costs; the risks of the oil and gas industry (for example, operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas); risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; health, safety and environmental risks and risks related to weather; further declines in oil and gas prices; inability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals, shortages of drilling equipment, oil field personnel and services, unavailability of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities and the possibility that government policies may change. Yuma's annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2015, recent current reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings discuss some of the important risk factors identified that may affect its business, results of operations, and financial condition. Yuma and Davis undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
