* figures have been restated to reflect the revisions for operator revenue, cost of sales and administrative expenses. Operator revenue of $641k has been reclassified as reductions in operator expenses included in cost of sales for the six months to 30 June 2017. This represents operator expenses recharged to and recovered from holders of working interests.

Commenting on the Results, CEO Rusty Hutson said:

"We would define the first half of 2018 as a period of transformative growth resulting in a material step-change for our operational and financial profile. We continued to deliver on our growth strategy and capitalised on compelling, per-share accretive acquisition opportunities in the Appalachian Basin to grow our production by more than 90% since year end, and we accomplished this growth without risking the balance sheet. Instead, our financial strength has been improved with the addition of our low cost credit facility and a leverage profile of less than two times adjusted EBITDA. The real impact of these game-changing acquisitions will be achieved in the second half of the year and beyond, as we realise the benefits of scale in the form of materially increased cash flow, lower costs and enhanced EBITDA margins, all of which underpin the reliable and peer-leading quarterly dividend. Our near-term focus will remain on extracting maximum value from our enlarged portfolio by leveraging operating synergies to drive both top line growth and further cost reductions that collectively elevate our already compelling margins. Our operating environment is increasingly positive, and we continue to screen a robust pipeline of growth opportunities from our position as the consolidator of choice in the Appalachian Basin."

Results presentation and audiocast

An analyst presentation will be held at 10:30am BST on 11 September 2018 at the offices of Buchanan (107 Cheapside, London, EC2V 6DN).

The presentation will be made available on the Company website, www.dgoc.com.

Introduction

The first half of 2018 saw DGO accelerate the speed of its growth through a series of transformative events. Although the Half Year Results tell the story of dramatic growth in the period, they do not reflect the scale of DGO's current operational footprint and financial profile, following the completion of two major acquisitions in the second quarter, and yet another game-changing transaction that made DGO one of the largest producers by volume, listed in London.

The focus for the business throughout the period has been on positioning the Company to grow production, cashflow and EBITDA margins, all with a view to generating long-term value for its shareholders through capital appreciation and a competitive dividend yield. As highlighted by these results, DGO has been successful in every measure and is well placed to demonstrate a step-change in all key metrics as it benefits from its recently expanded operational footprint and associated operating efficiencies.

The Board is pleased to announce a dividend for the second quarter of 2.8 cents per share, payable on 19 December 2018 to those shareholders on the Company's register on 30 November 2018. This represents an increase of 62 per cent over the 2018 Q1 dividend of 1.725 cents. Together these dividends are an increase of 128 per cent over the first half of 2017.

Accelerating our strategy

Throughout the period, the Company continued to effectively implement its growth strategy by leveraging its highly visible growth profile within both the Appalachian Basin and the Capital Markets to capitalise on the acquisition opportunities created by often larger, drilling-oriented companies wishing to divest of non-core assets, particularly within its focus region of Appalachia.

DGO has cemented its position as the leading consolidator for mature, cash-flowing assets in the region to become the largest producer from conventional assets in the Appalachian Basin. The Company has successfully leveraged its established dividend-paying investment case and track record for closing value-creating acquisitions to access the capital required to continue targeting sizeable transactions through a combination of new equity and debt.

In January, DGO announced the nearly simultaneous and highly complementary acquisitions of Alliance Petroleum for $80.7m and certain producing assets from CNX for $89.3m, which it funded through a placing raising gross proceeds of $189m. These transactions took net production to over 26 kboepd on a historical pro forma basis, an increase of 170% from year-end 2017.

Even more transformative still was the $575m acquisition of assets from EQT Corporation announced just prior to the period-end, which again more than doubled the already elevated production levels and increased DGO's PDP Reserves to 393 mmboe. The Company funded this transaction, which was immediately accretive to cash and earnings, through a placing which raised $250m, and with low-cost funding from its existing credit facility, which was doubled to $1 billion with a $600m borrowing base. After the completion of the EQT acquisition in July, DGO's current net production of approximately 60 kboepd has made it the largest producer on AIM by some margin and one of the largest independent producers in terms of volumes quoted in London. Demonstrating the value creating nature of the transaction, DGO's declared dividend for the second quarter of 2018 is 62% higher than its previous first quarter dividend, and is compelling evidence of its commitment to its dividend policy to provide robust income for shareholders.

The EQT acquisition also included more than 6,400 miles of gathering pipe, incorporating some 59 compression stations. This acquisition enhanced the economics of the Company's production in the region and will form a basis from which to develop the Company's mid-stream operations.

Leveraging an expanded operational footprint

The opportunity to acquire complementary and operationally compatible assets in the Appalachian Basin from Alliance and CNX was compelling. Building on DGO's enhanced experience of completing the acquisition of Titan the previous year, our team quickly set about integrating and optimising these newly acquired assets.

The focus throughout the integration process has been to further realise the financial and operating benefits of enlarged scale - elements central to DGO's investment strategy. The integration of these assets, acquired in March 2018, was facilitated by the high-quality teams that came with the respective acquisitions, particularly the Alliance team that included a number of talented corporate support personnel including accounting, treasury and land personnel. By taking on a combination of experienced senior management and highly skilled field workers with in-depth knowledge of the assets, DGO has been able to identify and prioritise the areas of integration that maximise synergies and optimise production.

In addition to maintaining and increasing production from existing wells through workover initiatives, the operations team has successfully returned wells into production, many of which came within the Alliance and CNX packages. Returning these previously unproductive wells to production has the dual benefit of partially offsetting overall natural decline rates, whilst also removing the wells from decommissioning. Over the last 18 months, DGO has brought over 500 wells back into production across its expanded acreage, resulting in prolonged production and deferred Plugging & Abandonment ("P&A") liabilities.

Decommissioning

The topic of decommissioning has always been a key consideration for DGO given the mature asset focus of the business. The issue has increased in relevance as the Company has expanded its acreage and therefore the scale of future liabilities. The State regulatory bodies typically establish the requirements around P&A liabilities, and DGO maintains constructive dialogue with those relevant authorities to ensure compliance and to agree on mutually beneficial long-term plugging programmes over the life of DGO's diverse portfolio.

The cost of plugging activities varies according to the depth of a well. Over 98% of DGO's well portfolio will be at the lower end of the range at around $25k per well. The Company continually reviews ways in which plugging costs can be reduced further and is likely to expand its internal P&A capabilities to minimise the role of third party vendors whose work inherently carries its own profit margins, an action that is expected to further reduce the average plugging costs.

In line with DGO's approach to risk mitigation and visibility on key financial metrics, DGO is actively pursuing agreements with state authorities in the states in which it operates. In this regard, the Company can budget accordingly for the long-term costs and logistical efforts associated with plugging wells, with costs representing a fraction of the annual earnings generated by the portfolio. Of the more than 50,000 wells in the current portfolio, we expect to plug fewer than 2,000 wells over the next 15 years, with the vast majority producing for many decades based on the low natural decline profile of the wells comprising our portfolio.

A transformational acquisition

The completion of the acquisition of assets from EQT Corporation in July represented a material step change in DGO's operating footprint and financial profile. This transaction gives DGO unparalleled scale in the conventional gas space in the Appalachian Basin, an enhanced exposure to liquids, and an expansive wholly owned midstream infrastructure.

The upstream assets are consistent with the wider portfolio profile in terms of long well-life (average 50 years) and low decline rates of around 4% to 7% per annum. The midstream assets provide DGO with its initial ownership of gathering systems that span a significant portion of its Kentucky acreage position and eliminate a meaningful portion of third party gathering expenses. Importantly, they also provide DGO with significant takeaway capacity to multiple end markets and processing capacity to support both existing and future potential development across the portfolio. For example, the ability to move a significant portion of its Kentucky natural gas production to a local liquids processing plant allows the Company to realize the economics of its natural gas liquids, providing an estimated net 56% uplift in the realized price it receives for this production. It is this type of value-creating element of the acquisition that is driving DGO's adjusted EBITDA margins from approximately 40% to approximately 60%. As with previous acquisitions, DGO has assumed related operating personnel to expedite integration of these assets to realize these higher margins.

The EQT acquisition represented a continuation of DGO's track record to source, progress and complete value accretive acquisitions. The Company's purchase price for the assets represents an attractive valuation multiple of just 3.5x annual operating cash flow, which is consistent with DGO's recent track record for acquisitions and is particularly impressive for an acquisition of this size and including midstream assets. As DGO successfully integrates the assets, the Company expects to demonstrate a further reduction in its operating costs, which will further enhance its EBITDA margins.

Outlook

DGO continues to progress from one position of strength to another, and is already unrecognisable from the company that floated on AIM just over 18 months ago. The Company has achieved a significant level of growth, surpassing market forecasts through a series of high quality, earnings accretive acquisitions.

The window for further M&A opportunities in the Appalachian Basin remains open, and the Company continues to review value accretive acquisitions in line with its proven growth strategy. With its growing list of successfully completed, sizeable acquisitions in the region, DGO has access to an increasingly robust pipeline of growth opportunities to consider. The Board remains steadfast in its focus to only consider new opportunities that complement and enhance the existing business and often passes on growth opportunities not suited to the Company's current asset portfolio. Importantly, DGO benefits from a strong balance sheet, liquidity and the demonstrated ability to move quickly on large packages of exceptional assets should it identify compelling opportunities.

The long-term outlook for natural gas prices in the region remains stable with investments being made in expanded take-away capacity coming online in the region providing a catalyst for higher realized prices as basin basis differential begins to decline. Consistent with its commitment to always protect its cash flow and the underlying dividend funded by its stable production base, DGO will continue to implement its hedging strategy, whilst also retaining upside exposure on a portion of its production to realise pricing increases.

Presently, DGO is intensely focused on the complete and efficient integration of assets acquired from EQT, and expects the addition of these assets and the achieved operating synergies to enhance revenue, cashflow and EBITDA margins whilst reducing operating costs.

Overall, DGO has created long-term value for shareholders by stewarding its capital to enlarge a strong platform of stable, cashflow producing assets, and is well positioned to deliver a materially stronger second half as it realises the benefits of the transformative acquisitions completed in the first seven months of 2018.

Production, Revenue and Hedging

Total revenue in 1H18 of $58.0m increased 432.4% from $10.9m reported for 1H17 primarily due to a 502.2% increase in barrel of oil equivalent sales partially offset by a 7.7% decrease in the average realised sales price. DGO ended 1H18 with net MBOE sales of approximately 3,499 vs. the prior year sales of approximately 581. The increase in production was driven by the increase in producing wells from our acquisitions of assets from Titan Energy, EnerVest Energy, Alliance Petroleum Company, and CNX Resources LLC in 2H17 and 1H18. See Note 9 tor additional information regarding DGO's acquisitions.

The following table is intended to reconcile the change in oil and natural gas revenue for 1H18 by reflecting the effect of changes in volume and in the underlying prices.

To manage its cash flows in a volatile commodity price environment, DGO uses a combination of physical and financial derivative instruments. As required by its Senior Secured Credit Facility, DGO executed a combination of fixed price physical contracts, price swap financial contracts and two-way collar financial contracts to hedge between 75% and 90% of the Company's forecasted production volumes for a 36-month rolling period. Refer to Note 13 for additional information regarding DGO's hedge portfolio.

         Includes non-recurring costs related to acquisitions of $2.1m in

As a result of DGO's significant, value-focused growth, unit operating expenses decreased 32% or $5.98 per BOE. These reductions include:

-- Lower per BOE lease operating expenses, which declined 14% or $1.12 per BOE through a mixture of disciplined cost reductions and through achieving an enlarged scale in the region whereby fixed operating costs were spread across a larger base of producing assets.

   --       Lower per BOE production taxes, which declines 84% or $1.05 per BOE. 

-- Lower per BOE depreciation and depletion, which declined 38% or $1.47 per BOE due to the acquisition of reserves at attractive valuations resulting in a lower unit depletion charge for each unit produced.

-- Lower per BOE administrative expenses, which decreased 62% or $3.55 per BOE due to the significant growth in our production base.

Partially offsetting these significant per BOE declines were increases in non-controllable costs related to gathering and transportation costs to deliver our production to market.

DGO's finance costs include interest expense on borrowings and non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. In March 2018, the Company closed a new $500 million five-year senior secured revolving credit facility with an initial base borrowing base of $140 million increasing to $200 million with the closing of the CNX acquisition. The facility has an initial interest rate of 2.50% plus LIBOR and is subject to a grid that fluctuates based upon utilisation with a pricing of 2.25% - 3.25% plus LIBOR.

In 1H18 and using the proceeds from the March 2018 credit facility, DGO repaid its previous outstanding debt. Accordingly, DGO incurred a non-recurring loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $8.36 million. In 1H17 using the proceeds from our successful AIM IPO, DGO repaid its publicly traded bonds and other outstanding debt. Accordingly, DGO incurred a non-recurring loss on the early extinguishment of debt, which primarily included a $3.8m charge for the accelerated amortization of the remaining deferred financing costs and $0.6m in premiums paid to redeem convertible bonds prior to DGO's admission to AIM.

For more information on DGO's acquisitions, secondary offering and borrowings, refer to Notes 9, 8 and 16, respectively

Income before taxation, EPS and Adjusted EBITDA

DGO reported income before taxation of $21.4m in 1H18 compared to $29.4m in 1H17, a decrease of 27%, and reported statutory earnings for 1H18 per diluted ordinary share of $0.09 compared to $0.24 per diluted ordinary share in 1H17. However, when adjusted for certain non-cash items such as gains on bargain purchases and similar items, DGO reported adjusted EBITDA per diluted ordinary share of $0.09 per diluted ordinary share, a 125.0% increase over the prior year's $0.04 adjusted EBITDA per diluted ordinary share. DGO's adjusted EBITDA for 1H18 was $22.9m, a 462.2% increase over $4.1m in 1H17. Refer to Note 6 for additional information regarding DGO's adjusted EBITDA.

Conclusion

We have already enjoyed an eventful and successful 2018, and we look forward to continued progress as we focus our attention towards 2019. I would like to thank the growing Diversified family for its commitment to safe and efficient operations, the Board for its diligent oversight and guidance, and our shareholders and stakeholders who entrust to us the capital to fuel our growth. I will look forward to reporting back to you with our full-year results.

AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2018 which comprises the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company, in accordance with our instructions. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have reached.

Directors' Responsibilities

The interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the interim financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

As disclosed in note 3, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the 6 months ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange.

Note 3 - Basis of Preparation

Basis of Preparation and Measurement

The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and do not represent statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the six month period ended 30 June 2018 is based on the statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017. Those accounts, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act.

The interim consolidated financial information has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the Company's 2017 statutory accounts in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU).

Unless otherwise stated, the interim consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which DGO operates, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars except per unit amounts and where otherwise indicated. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into US Dollars at the rate of exchange on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income within Other comprehensive income - gain on foreign currency conversion.

Certain prior period amounts within the Revenue and Expense accounts have been reclassified to conform with current presentation as follows:

-- Operator revenue of $641 has been reclassified as reductions in operator expenses included in Cost of sales for the six months to 30 June 2017. This represents operator expenses recharged to and recovered from holders of working interests.

-- Salaries and benefits of $137 have been reclassified from Cost of sales to Administrative expenses for the six months to 30 June 2017. This represents salaries and benefits for certain corporate employees that were recorded in cost of sales.

During the period ended 30 June 2018, DGO finalized the fair value measurement related to the previously reported EnerVest and Titan acquisitions discussed in Note 9. As a result, DGO retrospectively adjusted previously reported provisional amounts related to the EnerVest and Titan Energy acquisitions in accordance with IFRS - 3. The following tables summarize the impact of these adjustments for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the period ended as at 30 June 2017:

For the unaudited six months to 30 June 2017 the cumulative impact of these adjustments resulted in a $18,956 increase to the Statements of Changes in Equity through an increase to retained earnings and did not impact the net cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for acquisitions and derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value through profit and loss.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Directors have reviewed DGO's overall position and outlook and are of the opinion that DGO is sufficiently well funded to be able to operate as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these interim consolidated financial statements.

New Standards and Interpretations

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments that replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 incorporates the three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting. Except for hedge accounting, the standard should be applied using the retrospective application. The Company adopted this standard on 1 January 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS when it becomes effective. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoptions. The Company adopted this standard on 1 January 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted

IFRS 16 Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases. The standard establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both the lessee and lessor. The standard requires the present value of future minimum lease payments for all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) to be recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities, and to depreciate lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 replaces the previous lease standard, IAS 17 Leases, and related interpretations. This standard will be effective on 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted only if the Company also applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard can be applied using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach at the date of adoption. To date, the Company has not yet concluded on the impact of this standard.

Note 4 - Revenue

DGO extracts and sells natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil to various customers in addition to operating a majority of these oil and natural gas wells for customers and other working interest owners. The following table reconciles the Company's revenue for the periods presented:

Note 6 - Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure, which is of particular interest to the industry and Directors, as it is essentially the cash generated from operations that DGO has free for interest payments and capital investment. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating profit (loss), comprehensive income, cash flow from operating activities or any other financial performance or liquidity measure presented in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that is defined as operating profit plus or minus items detailed below in the table below.

The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it enables a more effective way to evaluate operating performance and compare the results of operations from period-to-period and against its peers without regard to DGO's financing methods or capital structure. The Company excludes the items listed in the table below from operating profit in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. The following table reconciles operating profit to Adjusted EBITDA:

Note 7 - Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic income/(loss) per ordinary share is based on the income/(loss) after taxation available to ordinary shareholders and on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted income/(loss) per ordinary share is based on the income/(loss) after taxation available to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued if dilutive options and warrants were converted into ordinary shares on the last day of the reporting period. Basic and diluted income/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

Note 9 - Acquisitions

The assets acquired in all acquisitions include the necessary permits, rights to production, royalties, contracts and agreements that support the production from the wells. The Company accounts for business acquisitions under IFRS 3. The acquisitions gave rise to bargain purchases due to the prevailing market conditions in the Appalachian Basin, the context of global oil and gas prices, the financial condition of the sellers, and a change in the operational focus of the sellers compelling these sellers to divest of their conventional oil and gas assets.

1H 2018 Acquisitions

In February 2018, DGO placed 166,400 new ordinary shares at $1.13 per share with certain existing and new institutional investors to raise net proceeds of $180,000 to fund the following acquisitions (see Note 14 for more information on share issuances):

Acquisition of the stock of Alliance Petroleum Corporation

In March 2018, DGO acquired the entire share capital of Alliance Petroleum Corporation, including approximately 13,000 conventional natural gas and oil wells in the states of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio and all other property and equipment. The Company paid consideration of $80,743, excluding customary purchase price adjustments. The Company funded the cash consideration for the purchase with the $180,000 net proceeds from its equity placing of DGO's stock in February 2018.

Management determined the fair value of the reserves held in the assets acquired to be $129,125. The provisional estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed were as follows:

(a) At the date of acquisition DGO determined the Alliance Petroleum Corporation had taken uncertain tax positions, and as a result, an indemnification agreement was executed. DGO recorded an indemnification receivable in the amount of $2,133. In accordance with IFRS 3, DGO assigned acquisition date fair value to the indemnification asset using the same valuation techniques used to determine the acquisition date fair value of the related liability.

(b) On the date of acquisition DGO repaid the debt in full using proceeds from the February 2018 equity placing.

Acquisition of assets from CNX Resources LLC

In March 2018, DGO acquired approximately 11,000 conventional natural gas and oil wells principally in the states of Pennsylvania and West Virginia and other equipment from CNX Resources LLC ("CNX"). The Company paid purchase consideration of $89,296, excluding customary purchase price adjustments. The Company funded the cash consideration for the purchase with the $180,000 net proceeds from its equity placing of DGO's stock in February 2018. Subsequent to the purchase of these assets, CNX agreed to retain a monthly tariff obligation applicable to the Appalachian assets that requires monthly cash payments to a pipeline transmission company through a portion of calendar year 2022. Tariff payments from the effective date of the purchase through their expiration in 2022 totaled $27,000. In exchange for CNX retaining this $27,000 pipeline tariff obligation, the Company paid CNX $17,000. This one-time payment allows DGO to retain complete and uninterrupted access to the applicable pipeline system and eliminates the $27,000 tariffs the Company would have paid over the remaining term.

Management determined the fair value of the reserves held in the assets acquired to be $130,500. The provisional estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities assumed were as follows:

Titan Energy Acquisition

In June 2017, DGO acquired approximately 8,380 producing conventional natural gas and oil wells in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee (including approximately 1,140 non-operated wells) and equipment from Titan Energy.

DGO placed 39,300 new ordinary shares at $0.89 per share with certain existing and new institutional investors to raise $35,020. The equity placing occurred in two tranches of 11,400 shares which raised $10,158 and 27,900 shares were placed with the second tranche, which raised $24,862.

Subsequent Events

In July 2018, DGO placed 195,330 new ordinary shares at $1.32 per share (97 pence) with certain existing and new institutional investors to raise net proceeds of $238,800 to partially fund the acquisition of approximately 11,250 conventional natural gas wells and a wholly-owned midstream gathering and compression system with approximately 6,400 miles of pipeline and 59 compressor stations in the states of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia and other equipment from EQT. The Company paid purchase consideration of $575,000, excluding customary purchase price adjustments. The Company funded the cash consideration for the purchase with $238,800 from the net proceeds from its equity placing of stock in July 2018 and an initial draw of $336,200 from the new $1,000,000 debt facility as discussed in Note 16. As at 30 June 2018 the Company has made a $57,500 deposit related to the acquisition, which is included in other non-current assets on the financial position.

Also in July, DGO purchased for $20,212 additional working interest in certain wells it already operated. These assets were previously held in seven limited partnerships with working interest ranges from 54% to 82% to which the Company served as the managing general partner. The Company funded the cash consideration for the purchase with a draw on its debt facility.

Subsequent Event

In July 2018, DGO placed 195,330 new ordinary shares at $1.32 per share (97 pence) with certain existing and new institutional investors to raise net proceeds of $238,800 to partially fund the acquisition of assets from EQT as discussed in Note 9.

Note 15 - Decommissioning Liability

The Company records a liability for future cost of decommissioning production facilities and pipelines. The decommissioning liability represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to oil and gas properties, which the Company expects to incur over the long producing life of its wells, presently estimated through to 2048 when the Company expects its producing oil and gas properties to reach the end of their economic lives.

As discussed more fully in Note 2, these liabilities represent the Directors' best estimates of the future obligation. Directors' assumptions are based on the current economic environment, and represent what they believe is a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. The Directors review these estimates regularly and adjust for any identified material changes to the assumptions. However, actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices at the time the decommissioning services are performed. Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning will vary depending on when the fields ceases to produce economically, which makes the determination dependent upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently uncertain.

The discount rate and the cost inflation rate used in the calculation of the decommissioning liability were 8.0% and 3.0%, respectively as at each of the periods presented. The table below summarizes the activity for the Company's decommissioning liability:

In March 2018, the Company closed a new $500,000 five-year senior secured revolving credit facility, initially subject to a borrowing limit of $140,000. Following the closing of the acquisition of certain assets of CNX Resources LLC in March 2018, as discussed in Note 9, the borrowing limit increased to $200,000. The facility has an initial interest rate of 2.50% plus LIBOR and is subject to a grid that fluctuates based upon utilisation with a pricing of 2.25% - 3.25% plus LIBOR.

a) In June 2017 the Company closed a new $110,000 senior secured credit facility, of which, $64,000 was drawn at closing on 30 June 2017. On 30 September 2017, an additional $11,000 was drawn to close on the remaining purchase of oil and gas assets discussed in Note 9.

b) Deferred financing costs outstanding at 30 June 2018 were incurred with the financing of the senior secured term loan.

Gain/Loss on Debt Extinguishment

As discussed above, when DGO entered into the new senior secured revolving credit facility in March 2018 it resulted in a non-recurring loss on the early extinguishment of debt of $8,359, which primarily included a $2,583 charge for the accelerated amortization of the remaining deferred financing costs and $5,776 related to an early payment fee.

Subsequent Event

In July 2018, the Company arranged an amended five year, senior secured credit facility up to $1,000,000 with an initial availability of $600,000 to fund the EQT acquisition as discussed in Note 9, to pay related costs and to refinance indebtedness under the existing credit facility.
