On September 10, 2014, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyramid merged with and into Yuma Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Yuma Co.), in exchange for 66,336,701 shares of common stock (prior to the 1-for-20 reverse stock split as described in Note 15  Subsequent Events) and Pyramid changed its name to Yuma Energy, Inc. (the Pyramid merger). As a result of the Pyramid merger, the former Yuma Co. stockholders received approximately 93% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company and thus acquired voting control. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, for financial reporting purposes the Pyramid merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Pyramid by Yuma Co. The transaction qualified as a tax-deferred reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Pyramid merger was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations (ASC 805). ASC 805, among other things, requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired net of the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. Certain assets and liabilities may be adjusted as additional information is obtained; but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The provisions of ASC 350, on Intangibles  Goodwill and Other require that intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, be evaluated on an annual basis for impairment, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that could potentially result in impairment. The goodwill impairment test requires the allocation of goodwill and all other assets and liabilities to reporting units; however, the Company has only one reporting unit. The drop in crude oil prices and the resulting decline in the Companys common share price since the Pyramid merger caused the Company to test goodwill for impairment at June 30, 201
