CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report") may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "will," "may," "should," "could," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "objectives," "targets," "predicts," "plans," "seeks," or similar expressions.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:


•	the ability of our tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases and mortgage loans, our reliance on certain major tenants under single tenant leases and our ability to re-lease properties;


•	the ability and willingness of each of our tenants to satisfy their obligations under the respective lease agreements;


•	changes in economic and business conditions in the energy infrastructure sector where our investments are concentrated, including the financial condition of our tenants or borrowers and general economic conditions in the particular sectors of the energy industry served by each of our infrastructure assets;


•	the inherent risks associated with owning real estate, including real estate market conditions, governing laws and regulations, including potential liabilities related to environmental matters, and the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;


•	risks associated with the bankruptcy or default of any of our tenants or borrowers, including the exercise of the rights and remedies of bankrupt entities;


•	the impact of laws and governmental regulations applicable to certain of our infrastructure assets, including additional costs imposed on our business or other adverse impacts as a result of any unfavorable changes in such laws or regulations;


•	the potential impact of greenhouse gas regulation and climate change on our or our tenants' business, financial condition and results of operations;


•	the loss of any member of our management team;


•	our continued ability to access the debt and equity markets, including our ability to continue using our SEC shelf registration statements;


•	our ability to successfully implement our selective acquisition strategy;


•	our ability to obtain suitable tenants for our properties;


•	our ability to refinance amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and our convertible notes at maturity on terms favorable to us;


•	changes in interest rates under our current credit facilities and under any additional variable rate debt arrangements that we may enter into in the future;


•	our ability to comply with certain debt covenants;


•	dependence by us and our tenants on key customers for significant revenues, and the risk of defaults by any such tenants or customers;


•	our or our tenants' ability to secure adequate insurance and risk of potential uninsured losses, including from natural disasters;


•	the continued availability of third-party pipelines, railroads or other facilities interconnected with certain of our infrastructure assets;


•	risks associated with owning, operating or financing properties for which the tenants', mortgagors' or our operations may be impacted by extreme weather patterns and other natural phenomena;


•	our ability to sell properties at an attractive price;


•	market conditions and related price volatility affecting our debt and equity securities;


•	competitive and regulatory pressures on the revenues of our interstate natural gas transmission business;


•	changes in federal or state tax rules or regulations that could have adverse tax consequences;


•	our ability to maintain internal controls and processes to ensure all transactions are accounted for properly, all relevant disclosures and filings are timely made in accordance with all rules and regulations, and any potential fraud or embezzlement is thwarted or detected;



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms


•	changes in federal income tax regulations (and applicable interpretations thereof), or in the composition or performance of our assets, that could impact our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes; and


•	risks related to potential terrorist attacks, acts of cyber-terrorism, or similar disruptions that could disrupt access to our information technology systems or result in other significant damage to our business and properties, some of which may not be covered by insurance and all of which could adversely impact distributions to our stockholders.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we may update these statements from time to time, we are not required to do so other than pursuant to applicable laws. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results and performance, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019, and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in this Report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

June 30, 2019

1. INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Introduction

CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. ("CorEnergy" or "the Company"), was organized as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 8, 2005. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "CORR" and its depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CORR PrA".

The Company is primarily focused on acquiring and financing real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. The Company also may provide other types of capital, including loans secured by energy infrastructure assets. Targeted assets include pipelines, storage tanks, transmission lines, and gathering systems, among others. These sale-leaseback or real property mortgage transactions provide the energy company with a source of capital that is an alternative to other sources such as corporate borrowing, bond offerings, or equity offerings. Many of the Company's leases contain participation features in the financial performance or value of the underlying infrastructure real property asset. The triple-net lease structure requires that the tenant pay all operating expenses of the business conducted by the tenant, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and expenses of maintaining the asset in good working order. CorEnergy considers its investments in these energy infrastructure assets to be a single business segment and reports them accordingly in its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CorEnergy accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP set forth in the ASC, as published by the FASB, and with the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. There were no adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were not of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The FASB issued ASU 2015-02 "Consolidations (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis" ("ASU 2015-02"), which amended previous consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities are considered a variable interest entity ("VIE") unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Management determined that Pinedale LP and Grand Isle Corridor LP are VIEs under the amended guidance because the limited partners of both partnerships lack both substantive kick-out rights and participating rights. However, based on the general partners' roles and rights as afforded by the partnership agreements and its exposure to losses and benefits of each of the partnerships through its significant limited partner interests, management determined that CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary of both Pinedale LP and Grand Isle Corridor LP. Based upon this evaluation and the Company's 100 percent ownership of the limited partnership interest in both Pinedale LP and Grand Isle Corridor LP, the consolidated financial statements presented include full consolidation with respect to both partnerships.

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any other interim or annual period. These consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with CorEnergy's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019 (the "2018 CorEnergy 10-K").

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02" or "ASC 842"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach by applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

assets and lease liabilities of approximately $75 thousand each, included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. There was no difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities resulting in an adjustment to retained earnings. The standard did not materially impact the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and had no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company will continue to apply legacy guidance in ASC 840, "Leases," including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption.

In accordance with ASC 842 transition disclosure requirements, the cumulative effect of changes made to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of ASC 842 were as follows:



Balance Sheet	Balance at December 31, 2018		Adjustments Due to ASC 842		Balance at January 1, 2019
Assets
Prepaid expenses and other assets	$	668,584	$	74,534	$	743,118
Liabilities
Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities	3,493,490		74,534		3,568,024
Equity
Retained earnings	9,147,701		—		9,147,701

In adopting ASC 842, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the carry forward of historical lease classification. For the underlying lessee asset class related to single-use office space, the Company also elected the lessee separation and allocation practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component. For the underlying lessor asset class related to pipelines residing on military bases, the Company elected the lessor separation and allocation practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and non-lease component as a single lease component if the non-lease components otherwise will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, and both the following criteria are met: (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component(s) and the related lease component and (ii) the lease component will be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing the carry forward of accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements, which are currently accounted for within property, plant and equipment.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"), which introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL model"), will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the guidance will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As part of its assessment work, the Company has formed an implementation team, completed training on the CECL model and is undertaking a review of the financial assets in scope. The Company believes that, unless it acquires any additional financing receivables, the impact would not be material.

3. LEASED PROPERTIES AND LEASES

The Company primarily acquires mid-stream and downstream assets in the U.S. energy sector such as pipelines, storage terminals, and gas and electric distribution systems and leases these assets to operators under triple-net leases. These leases typically include a contracted base rent with escalation clauses and participating rents that are tied to contract-specific criteria. Base rents under the Company's leases are structured on an estimated fair market value rent structure over the initial term, which includes assumptions related to the terminal value of the assets and expectations of tenant renewals. At the conclusion of the initial lease term, the Company's leases may contain fair market value repurchase options or fair market rent renewal terms. These clauses also act as safeguards against the Company's tenants pursuing activities which would undermine or degrade the value of the assets faster than the underlying reserves are depleted. Participating rents are structured to provide exposure to the successful commercial activity of the tenant, and as such, also provide protection in the event that the economic life of the assets is reduced based on accelerated production by the Company's tenants. While the Company is primarily a lessor, certain of its operating subsidiaries are lessees and have entered into lease agreements as discussed further below.



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

LESSOR - LEASED PROPERTIES

The Company's current leased properties are classified as operating leases and are recorded as leased property in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Initial direct costs incurred in connection with the creation and execution of a lease prior to January 1, 2019 are capitalized and amortized over the lease term. The Company did not reassess initial indirect cost as it elected the package of practical expedients. Subsequent to January 1, 2019, initial direct costs under ASC 842 are incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained and may include commissions or payments made to an existing tenant as an incentive to terminate its lease. Base rent related to the Company's leased property is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease when collectability is probable. Participating rent is recognized when it is earned, based on the achievement of specified performance criteria. Base and participating rent are recorded as lease revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Rental payments received in advance are classified as unearned revenue and included as a liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unearned revenue is amortized ratably over the lease period as revenue recognition criteria are met. Rental payments received in arrears are accrued and classified as deferred rent receivable and included in assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under the Company's triple-net leases, the tenant is required to pay property taxes and insurance directly to the applicable third-party provider. Consistent with guidance in ASC 842, the Company will present the cost and the lessee's direct payment to the third-party under the triple-net leases on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had two significant properties located in Wyoming, Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, which are leased on a triple-net basis to major tenants, described in the table below. These major tenants are responsible for the payment of all taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, and other operating expenses relating to the leased properties. The long-term, triple-net leases generally have an initial term of 11 to 15 years with options for renewals. Lease payments are scheduled to increase at varying intervals during the initial term of the leases. The following table summarizes the significant leased properties, major tenants and lease terms:



Summary of Leased Properties, Major Tenants and Lease Terms
Property	Grand Isle Gathering System	Pinedale LGS
Location	Gulf of Mexico/Louisiana	Pinedale, WY
Tenant	Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC	Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC
Asset Description	Approximately 153 miles of offshore pipeline with total capacity of 120 thousand Bbls/d, including a 16-acre onshore terminal and saltwater disposal system.	Approximately 150 miles of pipelines and four central storage facilities.
Date Acquired	June 2015	December 2012
Initial Lease Term	11 years	15 years

Initial Estimated Useful Life	27 years	26 years

The Company also concluded that Omega's long-term contract with the Department of Defense ("DOD") to provide natural gas distribution to Fort Leonard Wood through Omega's pipeline distribution system on the military post meets the definition of a lease under ASC 842. Omega is the lessor in the contract and the lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company noted the non-lease component is the predominant component in the lease, and the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the associated non-lease component are the same. As discussed in Note 2 ("Recent Accounting Pronouncements"), the Company elected a practical expedient that allows lessors to not separate lease and related non-lease components if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for in accordance with the revenue standard under ASC 606. With the election of this practical expedient, the Company continues to account for the DOD contract under the revenue standard.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company started a system improvement project on Omega's pipeline distribution system, which is considered a "built to suit" transaction under ASC 842. The system improvement project is a separate lease component and the DOD is deemed to control the system improvement due to certain contract provisions. As a result, the Company is accounting for the costs of the system improvement as a financing arrangement, which is included in accounts and other receivables in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The margin the Company earns on the system improvement project is a non-lease component accounted for under the revenue standard. Refer to Note 4 ("Transportation And Distribution Revenue") for further details.

TENANT INFORMATION

Substantially all of the lease tenants' financial results are driven by exploiting naturally occurring oil and natural gas hydrocarbon deposits beneath the Earth's surface. As a result, the tenants' financial results are highly dependent on the performance of the oil and natural gas industry, which is highly competitive and subject to volatility. During the terms of the leases, management monitors the credit quality of its tenants by reviewing their published credit ratings, if available, reviewing publicly available financial statements, or reviewing financial or other operating statements, monitoring news reports regarding the tenants and their respective businesses, and monitoring the timeliness of lease payments and the performance of other financial covenants under their leases.

Ultra Petroleum

UPL is currently subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial statements and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements. Its SEC filings can be found at www.sec.gov. Its common stock will trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol UPL until August 8, 2019 at which time it will commence trading on the OTCQX marketplace under the symbol UPLC. The Company makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the audited and unaudited financial statements of UPL but has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information. In addition, UPL has no duty, contractual or otherwise, to advise the Company of any events that might have occurred subsequent to the date of such financial statements which could affect the significance or accuracy of such information. None of the information in the public reports of UPL that are filed with the SEC is incorporated by reference into, or in any way form, a part of this filing.

Energy Gulf Coast/Cox Oil

Prior to October 29, 2018, EGC was subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and was required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial statements and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements. Its SEC filings can be found at www.sec.gov. Effective March 21, 2018, EGC changed its NASDAQ ticker symbol from EXXI to EGC. The Company makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the audited and unaudited financial statements of EGC but has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information. In addition, EGC has no duty, contractual or otherwise, to advise the Company of any events that might have occurred subsequent to the date of such financial statements which could affect the significance or accuracy of such information. None of the information in the public reports of EGC that are filed with the SEC is incorporated by reference into, or in any way form, a part of this filing. Upon the filing by EGC of a Form 15 with the SEC on October 29, 2018, following the closing on October 18, 2018 of the previously announced acquisition of EGC by an affiliate of the privately-held Cox Oil, EGC's SEC reporting obligations were suspended and it ceased to file such reports.

The Company believes the terms of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement require EGC and Cox Oil to provide the Company with certain financial statement information of EGC which must be filed pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X. When EGC's financial information ceased to be publicly available, the Company encouraged officials of EGC and Cox Oil and, through Company counsel, the legal counsel to such entities, to satisfy their obligations under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement to provide the required information to the Company for inclusion in its SEC reports. To date, EGC and Cox Oil have refused to fulfill these obligations. The Company intends to enforce the obligations of EGC and Cox Oil and obtained a temporary restraining order ("TRO") from a Texas state court, mandating that they deliver the required EGC financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. While the TRO has been stayed pending an appeal by EGC and Cox Oil, the Company will continue to pursue all viable options to obtain and file the necessary financial statements.

LESSEE - LEASED PROPERTIES

The Company's operating subsidiaries currently lease single-use office space and equipment with remaining lease terms of less than two years, some of which may include renewal options. These leases are classified as operating leases and immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes lease expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

4. TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION REVENUE

The Company's contracts related to transportation and distribution revenue are primarily comprised of a mix of natural gas supply, transportation and distribution performance obligations, as well as limited performance obligations related to system maintenance and improvement. Based on the nature of the agreements, revenue for all but one of the Company's natural gas supply, transportation and distribution performance obligations is recognized on a right to invoice basis as the performance obligations are met, which represents what the Company expects to receive in consideration and is representative of value delivered to the customer. System maintenance and improvement contracts are specific and tailored to the customer's needs, have no alternative use and have an enforceable right to payment as the services are provided. Revenue is recognized on an input method, based on the actual cost of



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

a service as a measure of the performance obligation satisfaction. Differences between amounts invoiced and revenue recognized under the input method are reflected as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As discussed in Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases"), the costs of system improvement projects are recognized as a financing arrangement in accordance with guidance in the lease standard while the margin is recognized in accordance with the revenue standard as discussed above.

The Company has a contract with Spire that has fixed pricing which varies over the contract term. For this specific contract, the transaction price has been allocated ratably over the contractual performance obligation. Based on a downward revision of the rate during the Company's long-term natural gas transportation contract with Spire, ASC 606 requires the Company to record the contractual transaction price, and therefore aggregate revenue, from the contract ratably over the term of the contract. Following the November 2018 rate decline, recognized performance obligations exceeded amounts invoiced and the contract liability began to decline at a rate of approximately $138 thousand per quarter and will continue to decline at the same rate through the end of the contract in October 2030. As of June 30, 2019, the revenue allocated to the remaining performance obligation under this contract is approximately $60.8 million.

The table below summarizes the Company's contract asset and contract liability balances related to its transportation and distribution revenue contracts as of June 30, 2019:



	Contract Asset⁽¹⁾			Contract Liability⁽²⁾
Beginning Balance January 1, 2019	$	180,579		$	6,522,354
Unrecognized Performance Obligations	(231,916		)	186,398
Recognized Performance Obligations	158,455			(275,592		)
Ending Balance June 30, 2019	$	107,118		$	6,433,160
(1) The contract asset balance is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2) The contract liability balance is included in unearned revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following is a breakout of the Company's transportation and distribution revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:



	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018		June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Natural gas transportation contracts	57.6	%	66.1	%	59.5	%	66.3	%
Natural gas distribution contracts	35.0	%	27.2	%	34.9	%	26.8	%

5. FINANCING NOTES RECEIVABLE

Financing notes receivable are presented at face value plus accrued interest receivable and deferred loan origination costs, and net of related direct loan origination income. Each quarter the Company reviews its financing notes receivable to determine if the balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Factors may include credit quality, timeliness of required periodic payments, past due status, and management discussions with obligors. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine if an allowance is needed. An allowance will be recorded when, based on current information and events, the Company determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.

Four Wood Financing Note Receivable

On December 12, 2018, Four Wood Corridor granted SWD, the previous debtor, approval to sell the assets securing the SWD loans to Compass SWD, LLC ("Compass SWD") in exchange for Compass SWD executing a new loan agreement with Four Wood Corridor for $1.3 million (the "Compass REIT Loan") and approximately $237 thousand in cash consideration, net of costs facilitating the close. The Compass REIT Loan was secured by real and personal property that provide saltwater disposal services for the oil and natural gas industry. The Compass REIT Loan was scheduled to mature on June 15, 2019 with interest accruing on the outstanding principal at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 6 percent. As a result of the transaction, SWD was released from the terms of their loans.

On June 12, 2019, Four Wood Corridor entered into an amended and restated Compass REIT Loan. The amended note has a two-year term maturing on June 30, 2021 with monthly principal payments of approximately $11 thousand and interest accruing on the outstanding principal at an annual rate of 8.5 percent. The amended and restated Compass REIT Loan is secured by real and personal property that provides saltwater disposal services for the oil and natural gas industry and pledged ownership interests of Compass SWD members. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Compass REIT Loan was valued at $1.3 million.

9. FAIR VALUE

As a result of the sale or disposition of the Company's equity securities in 2018, there are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019.

Valuation Techniques and Unobservable Inputs

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value, but fair value is included for disclosure purposes only, as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements approximates fair value.

Financing Notes Receivable — The financing notes receivable are valued on a non-recurring basis. The financing notes receivable are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Financing notes with carrying values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written-down to their estimated net realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are determined based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of future cash flow generation and value of collateral underlying the notes.

Secured Credit Facilities — The fair value of the Company's long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt under its secured credit facilities approximates carrying value.

CorEnergy Credit Facility

On July 28, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). The amended facility provides for borrowing commitments of up to $161.0 million, consisting of (i) $160.0 million on the CorEnergy Revolver, subject to borrowing base limitations, and (ii) $1.0 million on the MoGas Revolver.

The amended facility has a 5-year term maturing on July 28, 2022, and provides for a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if the Company fails to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of the Company's Convertible Notes on June 15, 2020. This springing maturity would be triggered on the first date on or after February 28, 2020 that both (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes exceeds $28,750,000 and (ii) the Company's unrestricted cash liquidity (including, for purposes of this calculation, the undrawn portion of the Borrowing Base that is then available for borrowing under the CorEnergy Credit Facility) is less than the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus (y) $5,000,000.

Borrowings under the credit facility will generally bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 percent to 3.75 percent, based on the Company's senior secured recourse leverage ratio. Total availability is subject to a borrowing base. The CorEnergy Credit Facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the CorEnergy Credit Facility.

Convertible Debt

On June 29, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 7.00 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $114.0 million Convertible Notes outstanding following certain repurchases and conversions. The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 30.3030 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to a conversion price of $33.00 per share of common stock.

On January 16, 2019, the Company agreed with three holders of its Convertible Notes, pursuant to privately negotiated agreements, to exchange $43.8 million face amount of such notes for an aggregate of 837,040 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share, plus aggregate cash consideration of $19.8 million, including $315 thousand of interest expense. The Company's agent and lenders under the CorEnergy Credit Facility provided a consent for the convertible note exchange. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $5.0 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The loss on extinguishment of debt included the write-off of a portion of the underwriter's discount and deferred debt costs of $409 thousand and $27 thousand, respectively. The remaining underwriter's discount and deferred debt costs continue to be amortized over the remaining term of the Convertible Notes.

Total Convertible Note Interest Expense	$	1,351,369	$	2,191,797	$	2,899,817	$	4,383,594

The Convertible Notes were initially issued with an underwriters' discount of $3.7 million, a portion of which is being amortized over the life of the Convertible Notes as discussed above. Including the impact of the convertible debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is approximately 7.7 percent for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS

On October 30, 2018, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, pursuant to which it registered 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its dividend reinvestment plan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has issued 22,003 shares of common stock under its dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to the shelf resulting in remaining availability (subject to the current limitation discussed below) of approximately 977,997 shares of common stock.

On November 9, 2018, the Company had a new shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC replacing the Company's previously filed shelf registration statement, pursuant to which it may publicly offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million. As described elsewhere in this Report, EGC and Cox Oil have refused to provide the financial statement information concerning EGC required to be filed by the Company pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X. At least until it is able to file these EGC financial statements, the Company does not expect to be able to use this shelf registration statement, or the shelf registration statement filed for its dividend reinvestment plan, to sell its securities. As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 24, 2019, the Company has suspended its dividend reinvestment plan.

The Company is engaged in dialogue with the staff of the SEC in an effort to shorten the period during which it does not use its registration statements. The Company does not expect this period to be shortened until the EGC financial statement information has been received and filed.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted EPS data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including all potentially issuable shares of common stock. Diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 excludes the impact to income and the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes because such impact is antidilutive. Under the if converted method, and after consideration of the common shares issued in the Convertible Note exchange and subsequent conversions discussed in Note 10 ("Debt"), the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes would result in an additional 2,108,848 common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the if-converted method would have resulted in an additional 3,454,545 common shares outstanding.

Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019, and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in this Report.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVE

CorEnergy primarily owns and seeks to own assets in the U.S. energy sector that perform utility-like functions, such as pipelines, storage terminals, rail terminals and gas and electric transmission and distribution assets. Our objective is to generate long-term contracted revenue from operators of our assets, primarily under triple-net participating leases without direct commodity price exposure. We believe our leadership team's energy and utility expertise provides CorEnergy with a competitive advantage to acquire, own and lease U.S. energy infrastructure assets in a tax-efficient, transparent and investor-friendly REIT. Our leadership team also utilizes a disciplined investment philosophy developed through an average of over 25 years of relevant industry experience.

We expect our leases to provide us with contracted base rent, plus participating rent based upon asset-specific criteria. The energy industry commonly employs contracts with participating features, and we provide exposure to both the risk and opportunity of utilization of our assets, which we believe is a hallmark of infrastructure assets of all types. Our participating triple-net leases require the operator to pay all expenses of the business including maintaining our assets in good working order.

The majority of our assets leased to tenants under triple-net leases are dependent upon the tenants' exploitation of hydrocarbon reserves in the fields where our assets are located. These reserves are depleted over time, and therefore, may economically diminish the value of our assets over the period that the underlying reserves are exploited. Accordingly, we expect the contracted base rents under these leases, including fair market renewal rent expectations, to provide for a return-on-capital, as well as a return of our invested capital, over the life of the asset. The portion of rents we believe to constitute a return of our invested capital are utilized for debt repayment and/or are reserved for capital reinvestment activities in order to maintain our long-term earnings and dividend paying capacity. The return-on-capital is that portion of rents which are available for distribution to our stockholders through dividend payouts.

Base rents under our leases are structured on an estimated fair market value rent structure over the initial term, which includes assumptions related to the terminal value of our assets and expectations of tenant renewals. At the conclusion of the initial lease term, our leases may contain fair market value repurchase options or fair market rent renewal terms. These clauses also act as safeguards against our tenants pursuing activities which would undermine or degrade the value of our assets faster than the underlying reserves are depleted. Our participating rents are structured to provide exposure to the successful commercial activity of the tenant, and as such, also provide protection in the event that the economic life of our assets is reduced based on accelerated production by our tenants.

Our assets are predominately mission-critical to our customers, in that utilization of our assets is necessary for the business they seek to conduct and their rental payments are an essential operating expense. For example, our crude oil gathering system assets are necessary to the exploitation of upstream crude oil reserves, so the operators' lease of those assets is economically critical to their operations. Some of our assets are subject to rate regulation by FERC or state public utility commissions. Further, energy infrastructure assets are an essential and growing component of the U.S. economy that give us the opportunity to assist the capital expansion plans and meet the capital needs of various midstream and upstream participants.

We intend to distribute substantially all of our cash available for distribution, less prudent reserves, on a quarterly basis. We regularly assess our ability to pay and to grow our dividend to common stockholders. We target long-term revenue growth of 1-3 percent annually from existing contracts, through inflation escalations and participating rents, and additional growth from acquisitions. There can be no assurance that any potential acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. Our management contract includes incentive provisions, aligning our leadership team with our stockholders' interests in raising the dividend only if we believe the rate is sustainable.

We believe these characteristics align CorEnergy with the attractive attributes of other globally listed infrastructure companies, including high barriers to entry and contracts with predictable revenue streams, while mitigating risks and volatility experienced by other companies engaged in the midstream energy sector.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue. Consolidated revenues were $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $618 thousand. Lease revenue was $16.6 million and $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, with the decrease of approximately $1.6 million driven primarily by the sale of the Portland Terminal Facility and concurrent termination of the lease in December of 2018. Transportation and distribution revenue from our subsidiaries MoGas and Omega was $4.9 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 3



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

0, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from higher rates going into effect on December 1, 2018 related to the rate case filed by MoGas with FERC, net of the estimated refund liability.

Transportation and Distribution Expenses. Transportation and distribution expenses were $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $288 thousand. The decrease primarily relates to lower legal, consulting and maintenance costs at MoGas.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year period are outlined in the following table and explained below:



	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Management fees	$	1,723,238	$	1,893,774
Acquisition and professional fees	593,170		788,993
Other expenses	423,447		425,009
Total	$	2,739,855	$	3,107,776

Management fees are directly proportional to our asset base. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, management fees decreased $171 thousand compared to the prior-year period due to cash utilized for the Convertible Note exchange and a lower incentive fee as a result of decreased revenue from the sale of the Portland Terminal in December 2018. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") for additional information.

Acquisition and professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $196 thousand from the prior-year period. An increase in asset acquisition expenses of $64 thousand was more than offset by a $260 thousand decrease in professional fees during the current-year period. The increase in asset acquisition expenses is primarily the result of increased focus on potential acquisition opportunities. Generally, we expect asset acquisition expenses to be repaid over time from income generated by acquisitions. However, any particular period may reflect significant expenses arising from third party legal, engineering, and consulting fees that are incurred in the early to mid-stages of due diligence. The decrease in professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to higher legal and consulting costs in the prior-year period related to monitoring our GIGS asset, partially offset by legal and consulting costs incurred in the current-year period related to the ongoing litigation with EGC/Cox Oil. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") for additional information.

Depreciation, Amortization and ARO Accretion Expense. Depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense was $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily related to depreciation expense, which decreased $628 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in depreciation expense was largely driven by (i) the sale of the Portland Terminal Facility in December of 2018 and (ii) updates made to the estimated useful lives of certain ARO segments of GIGS at the end of 2018.

Net Distributions and Other Income. Net distributions and other income was $285 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $56 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily related to interest income, which increased approximately $246 thousand from the prior-year period as a result of a higher cash balance during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Realized and Unrealized Loss on Other Equity Securities. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net loss on other equity securities of $881 thousand. The net loss recorded was directly related to fluctuations in the valuation of our investment in private securities. The net loss recorded in the prior-year period related to valuation considerations surrounding the arbitration award delivered to Eni USA and Gulf LNG. We no longer have an interest in other equity securities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the sale or disposition of our equity securities during 2018.

Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, interest expense totaled approximately $2.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to the Convertible Note exchange in the first quarter of 2019 and subsequent conversions that occurred during the second quarter of 2019. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt").

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $63 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $615 thousand of income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The income tax expense recorded in the current-year period is primarily the result of the utilization of NOLs at certain of our TRS entities. The income tax benefit recorded in the prior-year period is the result of (i) higher losses generated by our TRS entities and (ii) an unrealized loss related to our Lightfoot investment.



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

Net Income. Net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders was $9.8 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. After deducting $2.3 million and $2.4 million for the portion of preferred dividends that are allocable to each respective period, net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $7.5 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted common share as compared to $5.4 million, or $0.45 per basic and diluted common share for the prior-year period.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue. Consolidated revenues were $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $43.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Lease revenue was $33.4 million and $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $2.5 million. This decrease in lease revenue was driven primarily by (i) the sale of the Portland Terminal Facility and was partially offset by (ii) an increase in variable rent collected on the Pinedale lease during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Transportation and distribution revenue from our subsidiaries MoGas and Omega was $9.7 million and $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase primarily resulted from higher rates going into effect on December 1, 2018 related to the rate case filed by MoGas with FERC, net of the estimated refund liability.

Transportation and Distribution Expenses. Transportation and distribution expenses were $2.7 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing a decrease of $358 thousand. The decrease relates primarily to lower legal, consulting and maintenance costs at MoGas.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year period are outlined in the following table and explained below:



	For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Management fees	$	3,531,739	$	3,776,284
Acquisition and professional fees	1,284,442		1,326,551
Other expenses	794,081		731,998
Total	$	5,610,262	$	5,834,833

Management fees are directly proportional to our asset base. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, management fees decreased $245 thousand compared to the prior-year period due to cash utilized for the Convertible Note exchange and a lower incentive fee due to decreased revenue from the sale of the Portland Terminal in December 2018. See Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") for additional information.

Acquisition and professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $42 thousand from the prior-year period. An increase in asset acquisition expenses of $86 thousand was more than offset by a $128 thousand decrease in professional fees during the current-year period. The increase in asset acquisition expenses is primarily the result of increased focus on potential acquisition opportunities. Generally, we expect asset acquisition expenses to be repaid over time from income generated by acquisitions. However, any particular period may reflect significant expenses arising from third party legal, engineering, and consulting fees that are incurred in the early to mid-stages of due diligence. The decrease in professional fees during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to higher legal and consulting costs in the prior-year period related to monitoring our GIGS asset, partially offset by legal and consulting costs incurred in the current-year period related to the ongoing litigation with EGC/Cox Oil. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") for additional information.

Depreciation, Amortization and ARO Accretion Expense. Depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense was $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily related to depreciation expense, which decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in depreciation expense was driven by (i) the sale of the Portland Terminal Facility in December of 2018 and (ii) updates made to the estimated useful lives of certain ARO segments of GIGS at the end of 2018.

Provision for loan losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a provision for loan losses of approximately $500 thousand related to an additional write-down on the SWD loans. There were no loan loss provisions recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Distributions and Other Income. Net distributions and other income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $542 thousand compared to $60 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily related to interest income, which increased approximately $499 thousand from the prior-year period due to a higher cash balance during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Realized and Unrealized Loss on Other Equity Securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a net loss on other equity securities of $867 thousand. The net loss recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 related to valuation considerations surrounding the arbitration award delivered to Eni USA and Gulf LNG. We no longer have an interest in other equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to the sale or disposition of our equity securities during 2018.

Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, interest expense totaled approximately $4.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest expense as a result of the Convertible Note exchange and conversions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt").

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $5.0 million was recorded in connection with the Convertible Note exchange entered into on January 16, 2019. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt"). There was no loss on extinguishment of debt recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $510 thousand for six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $1.1 million of income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The income tax expense recorded in the current-year period is primarily the result of (i) a change in our state effective rate due to changes in state law and state operations by certain of our TRS entities and (ii) utilization of NOLs at certain of our TRS entities. The income tax benefit recorded in the prior-year period is the result of (i) higher losses generated by our TRS entities and (ii) an unrealized loss related to our Lightfoot investment.

Net Income. Net income attributable to CorEnergy stockholders was $13.7 million and $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. After deducting $4.6 million and $4.8 million for the portion of preferred dividends that are allocable to each respective period, net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $9.1 million, or $0.71 per basic and diluted common share compared to $10.7 million, or $0.90 per basic and diluted common share for the prior-year period.

Common Equity Attributable to CorEnergy Stockholders per Share

As of June 30, 2019, our common equity increased by approximately $19.7 million to $349.2 million from $329.5 million as of December 31, 2018. This increase principally consists of: (i) $29.5 million of common stock issued pursuant to the exchange and conversion of Convertible Notes, (ii) $404 thousand of common stock issued pursuant to reinvestment of dividends through the dividend reinvestment plan; and (iii) net income attributable to CorEnergy common stockholders of approximately $9.1 million; offset by (iv) dividends paid to our common stockholders of approximately $19.2 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We use certain financial measures that are not recognized under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Report include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("EBITDAre"); EBITDAre as adjusted in the manner described below ("Adjusted EBITDAre"); NAREIT funds from operations ("NAREIT FFO"); funds from operations adjusted for securities investments ("FFO"); and FFO as further adjusted in the manner described below ("AFFO"). These supplemental measures are used by our management team and are presented because we believe they help investors understand our business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to our stockholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income. The presentation of EBITDAre, Adjusted



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

EBITDAre, NAREIT FFO, FFO and AFFO are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We offer these measures to assist the users of our financial statements in assessing our operating performance under U.S. GAAP, but these measures are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including capital expenditures (if any), to make payments on our indebtedness or to make distributions. Our method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income, cash flows from operating activities or revenues.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are non-GAAP financial measures that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders may use to evaluate our ongoing operating results, including (i) the performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets and (ii) the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. EBITDAre, as established by NAREIT, is defined as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre represents EBITDAre adjusted for net realized and unrealized (gain) loss on securities, non-cash; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; provision for loan (gain) loss; and preferred dividend requirements.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our presentation of EBITDAre is calculated in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies that do not use the NAREIT definition of EBITDAre. In addition, although EBITDAre is a useful measure when comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be helpful to investors when comparing to non-REITs. Adjusted EBITDAre presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered measures of liquidity and should not be considered as alternatives to operating income, net income or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Income Attributable to Common Stockholders, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre:

NAREIT FFO

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in accordance with GAAP. As defined by NAREIT, NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and other



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and non-controlling interests. Adjustments for non-controlling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO attributable to common stockholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO attributable to common stockholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, as such, may not be comparable.

FFO ADJUSTED FOR SECURITIES INVESTMENTS (FFO)

Due to the legacy investments that we hold, we have also historically presented a measure of FFO, to which we refer herein as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments which is derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and other income and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities.

We present NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is a key measure we use in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions.

Both NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and that may also be the case with certain of the energy infrastructure assets in which we invest. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items. As such, these performance measures provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income when compared to prior-year periods. These metrics reflect the impact to operations from trends in base and participating rents, company operating costs, development activities, and interest costs.

We calculate NAREIT FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002) and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment as NAREIT FFO with additional adjustments described above due to our legacy investments. This may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly may not be comparable to such other REITs. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital for replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, as we have historically reported, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or to service our indebtedness.

AFFO

Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. AFFO in excess of dividends is used for debt repayment, capital reinvestment activities, funding our ARO liability, or other commitments and uncertainties which are necessary to sustain our dividend over the long term. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or service our indebtedness.

For completeness, the following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and our calculations of NAREIT FFO, FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, and AFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. AFFO is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure which we define as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment plus (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for loan (gain) loss, net of tax, transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of deferred lease costs, accretion of asset retirement obligation, non-cash costs associated with derivative instruments, and certain costs of a nonrecurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any), income tax (expense) benefit unrelated to securities investments, amortization of debt premium, and other adjustments as deemed appropriate by Management. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding used for the computation of per share data:

DIVIDENDS

Our portfolio of real property assets and promissory notes generates cash flow to us from which we pay distributions to stockholders. For the period ended June 30, 2019, the primary sources of our stockholder distributions include lease revenue and transportation and distribution revenue from our real property assets. Deterioration in the cash flows generated by any of these sources may impact our ability to fund distributions to stockholders.

We believe that (i) the accretion from our acquisition of Prudential's 18.95 percent equity interest in Pinedale LP, (ii) revenue growth from existing contracts through inflation-based escalators and participating rents, as well as (iii) the results of the MoGas FERC rate case proceedings, as discussed in the "Asset Portfolio and Related Developments" section below, will adequately offset the lost revenue from the step-down in rate associated with the new Spire contract effective in November 2018. We also believe



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

that a number of actions can be taken to adequately offset the lost revenue from the sale of the Portland Terminal, which include the combination of (i) additional investments in revenue generating assets and (ii) deleveraging of the Company's balance sheet through actions such as preferred equity and debt repurchases, at attractive market prices. However, we regularly assess our ability to pay and to grow our dividend to common stockholders, and there is no assurance that we will continue to make regular dividend payments at current levels.

Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and distributions to preferred stockholders are recorded when declared by the Board of Directors. The characterization of any distribution for federal income tax purposes will not be determined until after the end of the taxable year.

A REIT is generally required to distribute during the taxable year an amount equal to at least 90 percent of the REIT taxable income (determined under Internal Revenue Code section 857(b)(2), without regard to the deduction for dividends paid). We intend to adhere to this requirement in order to maintain our REIT status. The Board of Directors will continue to determine the amount of any distribution that we expect to pay our stockholders. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties.

On February 28, 2019, we paid dividends of $0.75 per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 24, 2019, we suspended our dividend reinvestment plan.

On May 31, 2019, we paid cash dividends of $0.75 per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock.

On July 24, 2019, our Board of Directors declared dividends of $0.75 per share of common stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock payable on August 30, 2019. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 24, 2019, we will pay this quarter's common stock dividend entirely in cash.

MAJOR TENANTS

As of June 30, 2019, we had two significant leases. For additional information concerning each of these leases, see Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") included in this Report.

ASSET PORTFOLIO AND RELATED DEVELOPMENTS

For detailed descriptions of our asset portfolio and related operations, please refer to Part I, Item 2 "Properties" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and to Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") and Note 5 ("Financing Notes Receivable") included in this Report. This section provides additional information concerning material developments related to our asset portfolio that occurred during the period ended June 30, 2019.

Grand Isle Gathering System

On October 18, 2018, EGC was acquired by an affiliate of the privately-held Gulf of Mexico operator, Cox Oil. With the purchase of EGC by Cox Oil it is anticipated that EGC will remain a separate subsidiary owned by an affiliate of Cox Oil, and that EGC (not Cox Oil) will continue to be the guarantor of the tenant's obligations under the Lease Agreement. To date, EGC has met its obligations to make lease payments and maintain our asset. We are currently engaged in efforts to enforce the reporting requirements in the lease. For additional information, please refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") in this Report.

Pinedale LGS

On June 3, 2019, UPL announced that it decreased its rig count to two rigs, from three. UPL also decreased its forecast of its 2019 capital investment program to $305.0 to $335.0 million, down five percent. Production guidance for the year remained unchanged at 240 to 250 Bcfe, due to improved drilling cycle-time performance and higher working interest in wells experienced in May. On July 11, 2019, UPL terminated its previously announced private offer to exchange its outstanding 7.125 percent Senior Notes due 2025 for up to $90.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 9.00 percent Cash / 2.50 percent PIK Senior Secured Third Lien Notes due 2024.

On July 30, 2019, UPL was notified by NASDAQ that its common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market effective as of the open of business on August 8, 2019 as a result of failing to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. UPL anticipates that effective August 8, 2019, its common stock will commence trading on the OTCQX marketplace under the symbol "UPLC." UPL plans to continue to make all required SEC filings, including those on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and will remain subject to all SEC rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

MoGas Pipeline

On May 31, 2018, MoGas filed a general rate case before FERC seeking to (i) recover increases in capital, operating and maintenance expenditures incurred; (ii) mitigate for the substantial decrease in volumes due to the loss of a firm transportation contract with a St. Louis natural gas marketing entity; (iii) mitigate for the substantial decrease in revenue from Spire; and (iv) reflect changes in the corporate income tax rate associated with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The proposed rates went into effect on December 1, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, MoGas and all intervenors in the rate case agreed in principle on a settlement with rates designed to provide approximately $14.8 million in revenue annually. The settlement is pending before the full FERC Commissioners. Once the final order has been issued, MoGas will begin to refund the difference between the filed rates and the settlement rates.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes our significant contractual payment obligations as of June 30, 2019:



Contractual Obligations

Fees paid to Corridor under the Management Agreement and the Administrative Agreement are not included because they vary as a function of the value of our total asset base. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 8 ("Management Agreement") included in this Report.

SEASONALITY

Our operating companies, MoGas and Omega, generally have stable revenues throughout the year and will complete necessary pipeline maintenance during the "non-heating" season, or quarters two and three. Therefore, operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have, and are not expected to have, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND DEFLATION

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction, and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or to refinance our properties and our tenants' ability to obtain credit. During inflationary periods, we intend for substantially all of our tenant leases to be designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Often, our leases include rent escalators that are based on the CPI, or other agreed upon metrics that increase with inflation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

At June 30, 2019, we had liquidity of approximately $182.0 million comprised of cash of $58.8 million plus revolver availability of $123.2 million. We anticipate that the results of the MoGas rate case settlement discussed in the "Asset Portfolio and Related Developments" section above will have a positive impact on revolver availability going forward. We use cash flows generated from our operations to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service payments and dividend payments. Management expects that future operating cash flows, along with access to financial markets, will be sufficient to fund future operating requirements and acquisition opportunities. If our ability to access the capital markets is restricted, as currently is the case as discussed in Part I, Item 1, Note 11 ("Stockholders' Equity") or if debt or equity capital were unavailable on favorable terms, or at all, our ability to fund acquisition opportunities or to comply with the REIT distribution rules could be adversely affected.



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

There are acquisition opportunities that are in preliminary stages of review, and consummation of any of these opportunities may depend on a number of factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. As part of our disciplined investment philosophy, we plan to use a moderate level of leverage, approximately 25 percent to 50 percent of assets, supplemented with accretive equity issuance as needed, subject to current market conditions. We may invest in assets subject to greater leverage which could be both recourse and non-recourse to us.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities

The following table presents our consolidated cash flows for the periods indicated below:



	For the Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(10,479,746	)	$	(1,611,209	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily attributable to (i) lease receipts of $30.2 million ($33.4 million lease revenue, net of $3.2 million of straight-line and variable rent accrued during the period) and (ii) $9.3 million in net contributions from our operating subsidiaries MoGas and Omega, partially offset by (iii) $5.6 million in general and administrative expenses and (iv) $4.4 million in cash paid for interest.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily attributable to (i) lease receipts of $29.3 million ($35.9 million lease revenue, net of $3.7 million of straight-line rent accrued during the period and $2.9 million of unearned revenue received in 2017), (ii) $6.7 million in net contributions from our operating subsidiaries MoGas and Omega, partially offset by (iii) $5.8 million in general and administrative expenses, (iv) $5.5 million in cash paid for interest and (v) $2.1 million of income tax payments, net.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash flows provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily attributed to a $5.0 million payment received on January 7, 2019 related to the promissory note entered into as a part of the Portland Terminal Facility sale.

There were no significant cash investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily attributable to (i) cash paid for the extinguishment of Convertible Notes of $19.5 million, (ii) common and preferred dividends paid of $18.8 million and $4.6 million, respectively and (iii) principal payments of $1.8 million on our secured credit facilities.

Net cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily attributable to (i) common and preferred dividends paid of $17.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, (ii) principal payments of $1.8 million on our secured credit facilities and (iii) $264 thousand of payments related to debt financing costs.

Revolving and Term Credit Facilities

CorEnergy Credit Facility

On July 28, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for other participating lenders). The amended facility provides for commitments of up to $161.0 million, comprised of (i) increased commitments on the CorEnergy Revolver of up to $160.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, and (ii) a $1.0 million commitment on the MoGas Revolver. The amended facility has a 5-year term maturing on July 28, 2022, and provides for a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if we fail to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of our Convertible Notes on June 15, 2020. This springing maturity would be triggered on the first date on or after February 28, 2020 that both (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes exceeds $28,750,000 and (ii) our unrestricted cash liquidity (including, for purposes of this calculation, the undrawn portion of



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

the Borrowing Base that is then available for borrowing under the CorEnergy Credit Facility) is less than the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus (y) $5,000,000.

Under the terms of the amended and restated CorEnergy Credit Facility, we are subject to certain financial covenants as follows: (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0; (iii) a maximum senior secured recourse leverage ratio (which generally excludes debt from certain subsidiaries that are not obligors under the CorEnergy Credit Facility) of 3.0 to 1.0.; and (iv) a maximum total funded debt to capitalization ratio of 50 percent. In addition, there is a covenant related to our ability to make distributions that is tied to AFFO and applicable REIT distribution requirements, and provides that, in the absence of any acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default, we may make distributions equal to the greater of the amount required to maintain our REIT status and 100 percent of AFFO for the trailing 12-month period.

Borrowings under the credit facility will typically bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 percent to 3.75 percent, based on our senior secured recourse leverage ratio. The facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods), all of which are substantially the same as under the prior facility.

We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2019 and had approximately $123.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the CorEnergy Revolver. For a summary of the additional material terms of the CorEnergy Credit Facility, please refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 11 ("Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report.

Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility

On December 29, 2017, Pinedale LP entered into the Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility, with Prudential and a group of lenders affiliated with Prudential as lenders and Prudential serving as administrative agent. The new amended facility is a 5-year $41.0 million term loan facility, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.5 percent, which matures on December 29, 2022. Principal payments of $294 thousand, plus accrued interest, are payable monthly.

The Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility limits distributions by Pinedale LP to us, although such distributions are permitted to the extent required for us to maintain REIT qualification so long as Pinedale LP's obligations under the credit facility have not been accelerated following an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility).

Outstanding balances under the facility are secured by the Pinedale LGS assets. The Amended Pinedale Term Credit Facility is subject to (i) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0, (ii) a maximum leverage ratio of 3.25 to 1.0 and (iii) a minimum net worth of $115.0 million, each measured at the Pinedale LP level and not at the Company level. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2019.

For a summary of the additional material terms of the Pinedale Term Credit Facility, please see Part IV, Item 15, Note 11 ("Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report.

Convertible Notes

On January 16, 2019, we agreed with three holders of our Convertible Notes, pursuant to privately negotiated agreements, to exchange $43.8 million face amount of such notes for an aggregate of 837,040 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, plus aggregate cash consideration of $19.8 million, including $315 thousand of interest expense. Our agent and lenders under the CorEnergy Credit Facility provided a consent for the convertible note exchange. As a result of the exchange, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $5.0 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, certain holders elected to convert $584 thousand of Convertible Notes for approximately 17,690 shares of CorEnergy common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, an additional $70 thousand of Convertible Notes were converted for approximately 2,121 shares of CorEnergy common stock. Following the conversions, we have approximately $69.5 million face value of Convertible Notes outstanding. Refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 11 ("Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Part I, Item 1, Note 10 ("Debt") included in this Report for additional information concerning the Convertible Notes.

MoGas Revolver

On July 28, 2017, the terms of the MoGas Revolver were amended and restated in connection with the CorEnergy Credit Facility, as discussed above. As a result, commitments under the MoGas Revolver were reduced to $1.0 million. Refer to Part I, Item 1,



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms

Note 10 ("Debt") for further information. As of June 30, 2019, the co-borrowers were in compliance with all covenants and there are no borrowings outstanding on the MoGas Revolver.

Mowood/Omega Revolver

The Mowood/Omega Revolver is used by Omega for working capital and general business purposes and is guaranteed and secured by the assets of Omega. Following annual extensions, the current maturity of the facility has been amended and extended to July 31, 2020. Interest accrues at LIBOR plus 4 percent and is payable monthly in arrears with no unused fee. There was no outstanding balance at June 30, 2019.

Shelf Registration Statements

On October 30, 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, pursuant to which we registered 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under our dividend reinvestment plan. As of June 30, 2019, we have issued 22,003 shares of common stock under our dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to the shelf resulting in remaining availability (subject to the current limitation discussed below) of approximately 977,997 shares of common stock.

On November 9, 2018, we had a new shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC replacing our previously filed shelf registration statement, pursuant to which we may publicly offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million. As described elsewhere in this Report, EGC and Cox Oil have refused to provide the financial statement information concerning EGC that we must file pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X. At least until we are able to file these EGC financial statements, we do not expect to be able to use this shelf registration statement, or the shelf registration statement filed for our dividend reinvestment plan, to sell our securities.

We have engaged in dialogue with the staff of the SEC in an effort to shorten the period during which we do not use our registration statements. We do not expect this period to be shortened until the EGC financial statement information has been received and filed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such relief.

Liquidity and Capitalization

Our principal investing activities are acquiring and financing real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and concurrently entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. These investing activities have often been financed from the proceeds of our public equity and debt offerings as well as our credit facilities mentioned above. Continued growth of our asset portfolio will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings.

The following is our liquidity and capitalization as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



Liquidity and Capitalization
	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	58,807,431	$	69,287,177

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The financial statements included in this Report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is presented under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as previously filed with the SEC. No material modifications have been made to our critical accounting estimates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our business activities contain elements of market risk. Historically, we have considered fluctuations in the value of our securities portfolio and fluctuations in interest rates to be our principal market risks. As of June 30, 2019, there were no material changes to our market risk exposure as compared to the end of our preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 except that we no longer hold investments in other equity securities.

Long-term debt used to finance our acquisitions may be based on floating or fixed rates. As of June 30, 2019, we had long-term debt (net of current maturities) with a carrying value of $32.0 million, all of which represents fixed-rate debt. Borrowings under our CorEnergy Revolver are variable rate, based on a LIBOR pricing spread. There were no outstanding borrowings under the CorEnergy Revolver at June 30, 2019, and accordingly, no market risk exposure on outstanding variable-rate debt.

We consider the management of risk essential to conducting our businesses. Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer (our principal executive and principal financial officers, respectively), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarterly period ending June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As discussed in further detail in Part I, Item 1, Note 3 ("Leased Properties And Leases") in this Report, the Company initiated litigation on March 26, 2019 to enforce the terms of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement requiring that we be provided with copies of certain financial statement information that we are required to file pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, as described in Section 2340 of the SEC Financial Reporting Manual, in the case CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. and Grand Isle Corridor, LP v. Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc. and Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC, Case No. 01-19-0228-CV in the 11th District Court of Harris County, Texas. The Company sought and obtained a temporary restraining order mandating that our tenant deliver the required financial statements. On April 1, 2019, that order was stayed pending an appeal by the tenant to the Texas First District Court of Appeals in Houston. The Company believes that it is entitled to such relief and will continue to pursue this litigation and all viable options to obtain and file the necessary tenant financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, except as set forth below:

The ongoing refusal of EGC and Cox Oil to provide financial statements to us in accordance with the terms of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement has adversely impacted the use of our effective registration statements on Form S-3 and Form S-8 to register the offer and sale of securities. The lack of EGC financial statement information has also limited our ability to issue registered common stock to participants in our dividend reinvestment plan and to use our common stock as a component of compensation for our independent directors. The refusal by EGC and Cox Oil will also either prevent or make more costly our efforts to raise future capital if we are unable to use our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3.

Under applicable SEC rules, an issuer loses the privilege of using "short form" Form S-3 or Form S-8 registration statements to offer and sell securities unless it has timely filed all periodic and other reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act after the initial filing of such a registration statement. As described elsewhere in this Report, EGC and Cox Oil have refused to provide the financial statement information concerning EGC required to be filed by us pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X, as described in Section 2340 of the SEC Financial Reporting Manual. We believe that EGC and Cox Oil are required to provide us with this information, for inclusion in our SEC reports, pursuant to the terms of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. The refusal of EGC and Cox Oil to provide these financial statements has adversely impacted our ability to use our currently effective shelf registration statements on Form S-3. In addition, we do not expect that the SEC will declare effective any registration statement that we file on any other form in connection with an offering so long as we remain unable to amend our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 to include the required financial statements of EGC. These circumstances will either prevent or make more costly our efforts to raise future capital through the issuance of our equity and debt securities on a rapid basis. This action by EGC and Cox Oil could also have a negative impact on executing potential acquisitions or other transactions in a timely and efficient manner. While we may be able to raise additional capital through bank financing, private placement transactions or other means, these alternatives could increase both our financing costs and the amount of time required to complete a transaction, and there is no guarantee that we would succeed in raising the additional capital required on a timely basis.

Our dividend reinvestment plan is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-3D. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 24, 2019, as a result of the refusal by EGC and Cox Oil to provide financial information, we have suspended our dividend reinvestment plan and currently are paying quarterly common stock dividends entirely in cash. Furthermore, the issuance of common stock to our independent directors as a portion of their compensation is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Form S-8. We have similarly suspended the issuance of these registered shares under the Company's Director Compensation Plan as a result of our inability to file the required EGC financial statements.

We have engaged in dialogue with the staff of the SEC in an effort to shorten the period during which we do not use these registration statements. We do not expect this period to be shortened until the EGC financial statement information has been received and filed. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such relief.

The Grand Isle Gathering System and the Pinedale LGS constitute the largest components of our leased infrastructure real property assets and associated lease revenues and will materially impact the results of our business.

The Grand Isle Gathering System represented approximately 36 percent of our total assets as of June 30, 2019, and the lease under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement with the EGC Tenant represented approximately 47 percent of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Pinedale LGS represented approximately 29 percent of our total assets as of June 30, 2019, and the lease payments under the Pinedale Lease Agreement with Ultra Wyoming represented approximately 30 percent of our total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Accordingly, the financial condition of these tenants and related parent guarantors and the ability and willingness of each to satisfy their obligations under the respective lease agreements and guaranties will have an ongoing material impact on our results of operations, ability to service our indebtedness and ability to make distributions.

EGC, the corporate parent and guarantor of the obligations of EGC Tenant under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement and certain entities affiliated with it filed for bankruptcy on April 14, 2016. The EGC Tenant did not file for bankruptcy. On December 13, 2016, EGC announced the confirmation of its Plan of Reorganization by the bankruptcy court and, effective December 30, 2016, EGC emerged from its bankruptcy reorganization under the successor company name Energy XXI Gulf Coast, Inc., and we entered into related agreements effective December 30, 2016 pursuant to which the new EGC entity succeeded to the rights and obligations of pre-bankruptcy EGC under the original purchase agreement for the GIGS and as guarantor of the obligations of our tenant under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. All payments due to us from the EGC Tenant were timely paid throughout the bankruptcy proceedings. EGC subsequently was acquired by an affiliate of Cox Oil, effective October 18, 2018.

Ultra Wyoming, the lessee of the Pinedale LGS, as well as Ultra Petroleum and Ultra Resources, the guarantors of Ultra Wyoming's obligations as tenant under the Pinedale Lease Agreement, each filed for bankruptcy on April 29, 2016. During the bankruptcy proceedings, Ultra Wyoming agreed to accept our lease without amendment, which was approved by the bankruptcy court on November 28, 2016. On March 14, 2017 the bankruptcy court approved Ultra Petroleum's Plan of Reorganization, and on April 12, 2017, the company announced its successful emergence from bankruptcy. All payments due to us under the Pinedale LGS lease were paid timely throughout the bankruptcy proceedings.

Despite their emergence from bankruptcy, Ultra Petroleum and, prior to its October 2018 acquisition by Cox Oil, EGC, have disclosed a number of risks related to their business in their respective filings with the SEC. A complete discussion of the risks related to Ultra Petroleum's business can be found in its Exchange Act reports filed with the SEC (NASDAQ: UPL), including its substantial indebtedness. Prior to the filing by EGC of a Form 15 with the SEC on October 29, 2018, following its acquisition by an affiliate of Cox Oil, to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, EGC had also disclosed a discussion of risks related to its business in the Exchange Act reports that EGC had filed with the SEC as a public reporting company (NASDAQ: EGC). Since EGC ceased to be a public reporting company on and after such date, it has not disclosed any updates to such risks following the Cox Oil acquisition.

Our indebtedness could have important consequences, including impairing our ability to obtain additional financing or pay future distributions, as well as subjecting us to the risk of foreclosure on any mortgaged properties in the event of non-payment of the related debt.

As of June 30, 2019, we had outstanding consolidated indebtedness of approximately $105.3 million. In addition, the CorEnergy Credit Facility matures on July 28, 2022 but is subject to a springing maturity on February 28, 2020, and thereafter, if we fail to meet certain liquidity requirements from the springing maturity date through the maturity of our Convertible Notes on June 15, 2020. This springing maturity would be triggered on the first date on or after February 28, 2020 that both (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes exceeds $28,750,000 and (ii) our unrestricted cash liquidity (including, for purposes of this calculation, the undrawn portion of the Borrowing Base that is then available for borrowing under the CorEnergy Credit Facility) is less than the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus (y) $5,000,000. Our leverage could have important consequences. For example, it could:


•	result in the acceleration of a significant amount of debt for non-compliance with the terms of such debt or, if such debt contains cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, other debt;


•	materially impair our ability to borrow undrawn amounts under existing financing arrangements or to obtain additional financing or refinancing on favorable terms or at all;


•	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the cash flow available to fund our business, to pay distributions, including those necessary to maintain REIT qualification, or to use for other purposes;


•	increase our vulnerability to economic downturns;



Table of Contents		Glossary of Defined Terms


•	limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures; or


•	reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions.

It is also important to note that our variable rate indebtedness under the CorEnergy Credit Facility and the Mowood/Omega Revolver use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate. LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could include an increase in the cost of our variable rate indebtedness.

Further, we expect to mortgage many of our properties to secure payment of indebtedness. If we are unable to meet mortgage payments, such failure could result in the loss of assets due to foreclosure and transfer to the mortgagee or sale on unfavorable terms with a consequent loss of income and asset value. A foreclosure of one or more of our properties could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to service debt and make distributions and the market price of our stock.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, certain holders elected to convert approximately $584 thousand principal amount of Convertible Notes to CorEnergy common stock at the conversion rate of 30.3030 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, as follows:



Conversion Date	Principal Amount of Convertible Notes Converted		Number of Shares of Common Stock Issued
May 23, 2019	$	119,000	3,606
June 13, 2019	85,000		2,575
June 20, 2019	10,000		303
June 25, 2019	370,000		11,206
Total	$	584,000	$	17,690

The shares of common stock were issued solely to holders of the Convertible Notes upon conversion pursuant to the exemption from registration provided under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This exemption is available to the Company because the shares of common stock were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holders in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Convertible Notes with no commission or other remunerations being paid or given for soliciting such an exchange.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
