Documents Incorporated by Reference: Portions of the Registrant’s Proxy Statement relating to its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed pursuant to Regulation 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2022, are incorporated by reference into Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PennantPark Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation, or together with its subsidiaries, where applicable, or the Company, which may also be referred to as “we,” “us” or “our,” is filing this Amendment No. 1, or the Amendment, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, or the Form 10-K, which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on November 17, 2022.
We are filing this Amendment to provide stand-alone audited financial statements for our investment in an unconsolidated controlled portfolio company, RAM Energy Holdings LLC, or RAM Holdings, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022 (as Exhibit 99.2) as well as of and for the years ended September 30, 2021 (as Exhibit 99.3) and September 30, 2020 (as Exhibit 99.4).
We have determined that this unconsolidated controlled portfolio company has met the conditions of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X for which we are required, pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, to provide separate audited financial statements as exhibits to the Form 10-K. In accordance with Rule 3-09(b)(1), the separate audited financial statements of RAM Holdings are being filed as an amendment to the Form 10-K, within 90 days after the end of RAM Holdings' fiscal year.
This Amendment also includes the filing of new Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2, certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and also corrects the numbering, hyperlink and exhibit description for Exhibit 10.9 below.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Form 10-K. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events that may have occurred after the original filing date of the Form 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-K, except as required to reflect the revisions discussed above. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Form 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after filing of the Form 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Furthermore, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-K and with our subsequent filings with the SEC.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors
RAM Energy Holdings LLC
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of RAM Energy Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, member’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.
3
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

RAM Energy Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
RAM Energy Holdings LLC (“Holdings” or the “Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company, formed in July 2014 and originally was wholly-owned by PennantPark Investment Corporation (“PennantPark”). In May 2021, PennantPark contributed its ownership in Holdings to PNNT Investment Holdings, LLC (“PNNT Investment”), its wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, Holdings is wholly-owned by PNNT Investment on September 30, 2021.
Holdings was formed as a holding company for interest ownership in RAM Energy LLC (“RAM”). RAM Fayette LLC (“Fayette”) was formed in September 2017 and Fayette Service Company LLC (“Service”) was formed in June 2018, both as wholly-owned subsidiaries of RAM. On October 1, 2019, RAM contributed its ownership in Service to Holdings and Service became wholly-owned by Holdings. Holdings, RAM, Fayette and Service are herein referred to as the “Company.”
RAM was formed in April 2012 as a privately held, independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation, development and production of oil and natural gas.
In July 2018, the Company began a drilling program in the Austin Chalk formation. Fayette was formed to be an owner in the new wells drilled, and Service was formed to invest in gathering and facilities infrastructure.
RAM operates exclusively in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry with activities including the drilling, completion, and operation of oil and natural gas wells. RAM conducts the majority of its operations in the state of Texas, with minor operations in the states of Arkansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Risks and Uncertainties
Ukraine was invaded by Russia in February 2022, and subsequently western nations imposed sanctions on Russian goods and services. As a result of the conflict, markets in which the Company operates have experienced geopolitical instability, disruption and volatility. It is not possible at this time to predict or determine the ultimate consequence of the conflict in Ukraine, which could include, among other things, additional sanctions, embargoes, geopolitical shifts and other material adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, financial markets and supply chains. While management is actively monitoring the foregoing events and its associated financial impact on the business, it is uncertain at this time as to the full magnitude that volatile and uncertain oil and natural gas prices will have on the financial condition and future results of operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, RAM and Service, and RAM’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Fayette. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Property and Equipment
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unproved oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are impaired. As properties become evaluated, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties.
Under the full cost method, the net book value of oil and natural gas properties may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related and ad valorem taxes are deducted.
In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. The net book value is compared to the Ceiling Limitation and the excess, if any, of the net book value above the Ceiling Limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated. At September 30, 2022, the net book value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties did not exceed the Ceiling Limitation.
The costs directly associated with unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are not initially included in the amortization base and relate to unproved leasehold acreage, seismic data, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination. Unevaluated leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base once determination has been made or upon expiration of a lease. Geological and geophysical costs and cumulative drilling costs to date associated with a specific unproved property are transferred to the amortization base with the associated leasehold costs on a specific project basis. Costs associated with wells in progress and wells pending determination are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. All costs included in the Company’s unproved property balance are assessed on a periodic basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. The assessment includes consideration of numerous factors, including intent to drill, remaining lease term, geological and geophysical evaluations, drilling results and activity, assignment of proved reserves and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. Any impairments of unevaluated properties are transferred to the amortization base. The Company did not have any impairment of its unproved oil and gas properties for the year ended September 30, 2022.
Other property and equipment consists principally of furniture and equipment and leasehold improvements. Other property and equipment and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are relieved upon retirement or sale and the gain or loss is included in operations. Renewals and replacements that extend the useful life of property and equipment are treated as capital additions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
All capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties and equipment, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on total proved reserves. Depreciation of gathering assets and related facilities, and other equipment is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally ranging from 3 to 30 years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed based on the straight-line method over the term of the associated lease or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and natural gas properties for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $10.4 million.
Depreciation expense of other property and equipment for the year ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $729 thousand.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid unrestricted investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
At September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $792 thousand in certificates of deposit held as collateral for letters of credit for the beneficiary of states for the purpose of plugging and abandonment costs of the wells in which the Company has an interest. Such amounts are classified as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the statement of financial position that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company sells oil and natural gas to various customers and participates with other parties in the drilling, completion and operation of oil and natural gas wells. Joint interest and oil and natural gas sales receivables related to these operations are generally unsecured. For the year ended September 30, 2022, 94% of total revenues and 88% of total receivables were from two customers. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for certain purchasers and certain joint interest owners’ receivable balances when the Company believes the receivable balance may not be collected. Accounts receivable are presented net of the related allowance for doubtful accounts. At September 30, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $5 thousand.
In 2022, the Company had cash deposits in certain banks that at times exceeded the maximum insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company monitors the financial condition of the banks and has experienced no losses on these accounts.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
General and Administrative Expenses
The Company receives fees for the operation of jointly owned oil and natural gas properties and records such reimbursements as reductions of general and administrative expenses. Such fees totaled approximately $0.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions that, in the opinion of management are significant, include oil and natural gas reserves which are utilized in the calculations of, depreciation, depletion and amortization related to oil and natural gas properties, asset retirement obligations and derivative instrument valuations. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Deferred Loan Costs
The Company capitalized certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining and amending its credit agreement, such as lender's fees and related attorney's fees. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company did not capitalize any deferred loan costs. Amortization related to debt issuance costs totaled $208,815 for the year ended September 30, 2022 and is included in interest expense. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $617,745 of debt issuance costs, respectively, which have been classified as a reduction to long-term debt.
Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Estimates
Independent petroleum and geological engineers prepare estimates of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves. Proved reserves and the estimated future net revenues are estimated based upon a combination of historical data and estimates of future activity. Consistent with Topic 932 – Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas of the Codification, at September 30, 2022, the Company calculated its estimate of proved reserves using a twelve month average price, calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each period within the twelve-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. The reserve estimates are used in the assessment of the Company’s ceiling limitation and in calculating depreciation, depletion and amortization. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural gas reserves which, as described herein, may affect the amount at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and the associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depleted. The Company determines its asset retirement obligations on its oil and natural gas properties by calculating the present value of the estimated cash flows related to the estimated liability. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability associated with the Company’s oil and natural gas properties is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). See Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Income Taxes
The Company is a limited liability company. Consequently, it is not a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a provision for federal income taxes associated with the Company has not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The income or losses flow through to the member's individual or corporate tax returns in accordance with their ownership percentages.
The Company follows guidance issued by the FASB in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2022.
The Company records income tax-related interest and penalties, if applicable, as a component of the provision for income tax expense. There were no amounts recognized relating to interest and penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Furthermore, none of the Company’s federal or state income tax returns are currently under examination by federal or state authorities. Fiscal year 2019 and forward remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities.

Oil and Natural Gas Sales Revenue
The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its produced oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and gas gathering services. Revenues for oil, gas and natural gas liquids are primarily generated in Texas. Revenue attributable to these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the Company’s performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs when control of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids transfers to the customer and collectability of the consideration is considered probable. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company considers the following indicators of the transfer of control to determine the point in time at which control transfers to its customers: (i) the Company has a present right to payment for the asset; (ii) the customer has legal title to the product; (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product; and (iv) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership.
When the control of the product transfers to the customer differs depending on the contractual terms of each of the Company’s arrangements with its customers. This generally occurs at the wellhead. Transfer of control drives the presentation of transportation, gathering, processing, and other post-production expenses (“fees and other deductions”). Fees and other deductions incurred prior to control transfer are recorded within lease operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, while fees and other deductions incurred subsequent to the control transfer are recorded as a reduction of revenues.
The Company has two general categories under which oil and natural gas revenue is generated:
2) The Company sells unprocessed natural gas to a midstream processor at the inlet of the midstream processing entity’s system. The midstream processor gathers and processes the raw natural gas stream and remits proceeds to the Company from the ultimate sale of the processed natural gas liquids and residue gas to third parties. In such arrangements, the midstream processor obtains control of the product at the inlet and is considered the Company’s customer. Proceeds received for unprocessed gas under these arrangements are reflected as oil and natural gas revenues within the consolidated statements of operations and are recorded net of transportation and processing fees incurred by the midstream processor after control has transferred.
Significant judgments made in applying the guidance in ASC 606 relate to the point in time when control transfers to customers in gas processing arrangements with midstream processors. The Company does not believe that significant judgments are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including amounts that represent variable consideration, as volume and price carry a low level of estimation uncertainty given the precision of volumetric measurements and the use of index pricing with generally predictable differentials. Accordingly, the Company does not consider estimates of variable consideration to be constrained.
The Company’s performance obligations arise upon the production of produced oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied upon control transferring to a purchaser at the wellhead, inlet,
14
RAM Energy Holdings LLC and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
or tailgate of the midstream processor’s processing facility, or other contractually specified delivery point. The time period between production and satisfaction of performance obligations is generally less than one day; thus, there are no material unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the reporting period.
Revenue is recorded in the month when performance obligations are satisfied. However, settlement statements from the purchasers of produced oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids and the related cash consideration are received 30 to 90 days after production has occurred. As a result, the Company must estimate the amount of production delivered to the customer and the consideration that will ultimately be received for sale of the product. Estimated revenue due to the Company is recorded within the accounts receivable line item on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet until payment is received. The accounts receivable balance from contracts with customers within the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 was $5.2 million. To estimate accounts receivable from contracts with customers, the Company uses knowledge of its properties, historical performance, contractual arrangements, index pricing, quality and transportation differentials, and other factors as the basis for these estimates. Differences between estimates and actual amounts received for product sales are recorded in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. Revenue recognized for the year ended September 30, 2022 that related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was immaterial.
Gas Gathering Revenue
The Company also provides natural gas gathering and compression services through its ownership interest in a gas gathering system. The Company’s gathering revenues are generated in Texas. For the provision of gas gathering and compression services, the Company collects its share of the gathering and compression fees per unit of gas serviced and recognizes gathering revenue over time using an output method based on units of gas gathered.
There is a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative instruments based on published forward commodity price curves as of the date of the estimate, less discounts to recognize present values. The Company estimated the fair value of its derivatives using a pricing model which also considered market volatility, counterparty credit risk and additional criteria in determining discount rates. The discount rate used in the discounted cash flow projections was based on published LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures rates and interest swap rates. The counterparty credit risk was determined by calculating the difference between the derivative counterparty’s bond rate and published bond rates. A credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) for the Company is incorporated into the derivative valuation when the overall derivative position with a counterparty is in a liability position. A CVA is calculated based on the spread between the Company’s credit curve and a risk-free rate.
At September 30, 2022, the carrying value of cash, restricted cash, receivables and payables reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of the Main Street Lending Program Loan approximates fair value due to the interest rate being reflective of market rates.
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities, which are initially measured at fair value, are comprised primarily of asset retirement obligations. These liabilities are recorded at fair value when acquired/incurred, but not re-measured at fair value in subsequent periods. The Company classifies such initial measurements as Level 3, since certain significant unobservable inputs are utilized in their determination. The fair value of additions to the asset retirement obligations and certain changes in the estimated fair value of the liabilities are measured using valuation techniques consistent with the income approach, converting future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Inputs to the valuation include: (1) estimated plug and abandonment cost based on a third-party study; (2) estimated remaining life of each field; (3) the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 6.29%; and (4) the average inflation factor of 1.80%. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation, and are the most sensitive and subject to change.
The Company periodically utilizes various hedging strategies to manage the price received for a portion of its future oil and natural gas production to reduce exposure to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices and to achieve a more predictable cash flow.
During 2022, the Company entered into certain derivative contracts to manage the impact of oil and natural gas price fluctuations and as required by the terms of its credit facility. The Company did not designate these transactions as hedges. Accordingly, all gains and losses on the derivative instruments during 2022 have been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
