Mexco Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
Mexco Energy Corporation (a Colorado corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Forman Energy Corporation (a New York corporation), Southwest Texas Disposal Corporation (a Texas corporation) and TBO Oil & Gas, LLC (a Texas limited liability company) (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas, condensate and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). Most of the Company’s oil and gas interests are centered in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico; however, the Company owns producing properties and undeveloped acreage in fifteen states. All of the Company’s oil and gas interests are operated by others.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mexco Energy Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions associated with the consolidated operations have been eliminated.
Estimates and Assumptions. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management is required to make informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates are used in determining proved oil and gas reserves. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The estimate of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves, which is used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties, is the most significant of the estimates and assumptions that affect these reported results.
Interim Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2024 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in more detail in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs (direct and indirect) associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas properties are capitalized. Costs capitalized include acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells. Drilling costs include directly related overhead costs. All of the Company’s capitalized costs are subject to amortization.
In addition, capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and related deferred income taxes are not allowed to exceed an amount (the full cost ceiling) equal to the sum of: 1)the present value of estimated future net revenues discounted at ten percent computed in compliance with SEC guidelines; 2)plus the cost of properties not being amortized; 3)plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; 4)less income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.
No impairments on oil and natural gas properties as a result of the ceiling test were recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Investments.
Segments. Based on the Company’s organizational structure, the Company has one operating segment, which is crude oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. In addition, the Company has a single, company-wide management team that allocates capital resources to maximize profitability and measures financial performance as a single enterprise.
3. Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using the credit adjusted risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period until the liability is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is removed. The related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties. The ARO is included in the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion being included in the accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

which originally provided for a credit facility of $

the Agreement, interest on the facility accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half
of one percent (
No
principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility,
Amounts borrowed under the Agreement are collateralized by the common stock of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties.
In addition, this Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without written permission of WTNB. The Company obtained written permission from WTNB prior to declaring the special dividend on April 30, 2024 as discussed in Note 10. The Agreement does not permit the Company to enter into hedge agreements covering crude oil and natural gas prices without prior WTNB approval.

Company leases approximately
The Company determines an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating
lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent
its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement
date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate,
the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value
of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was

Total income tax expense from continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income primarily due to state income taxes net of federal benefit and the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations and may be signified by the words “could”, “should”, “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “budget”, “plan”, “forecast”, “predict” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements appear throughout this Form 10-Q with respect to, among other things: profitability; planned capital expenditures; estimates of oil and gas production; future project dates; estimates of future oil and gas prices; estimates of oil and gas reserves; our future financial condition or results of operations; and our business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
While we have made assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the assumptions that support our forward-looking statements are based upon information that is currently available and is subject to change. All forward-looking statements in the Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement contained in this section. We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Historically, we have funded our operations, acquisitions, exploration and development expenditures from cash generated by operating activities, bank borrowings, sales of non-core properties and issuance of common stock. Our primary financial resource is our base of oil and gas reserves. We have pledged our producing oil and gas properties to secure our credit facility. We do not have any delivery commitments to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of its oil and gas under any existing contract or agreement.
Our long-term strategy is on increasing profit margins while concentrating on obtaining reserves with low cost operations by acquiring and developing oil and gas properties with potential for long-lived production. We focus our efforts on the acquisition of royalties and working interests in non-operated properties in areas with significant development potential.
At December 31, 2024, we had working capital of $1,469,195 compared to working capital of $3,259,200 at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1,790,005 for the reasons set forth below.
Cash Flows
Changes in the net funds provided by or (used in) each of our operating, investing and financing activities are set forth in the table below:

Cash Flow Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities is primarily derived from the production of our crude oil and natural gas reserves and changes in the balances of non-cash accounts, receivables, payables or other non-energy property asset account balances. Cash flow provided by our operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $2,941,115 in comparison to $3,374,717 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease of $433,602 in our cash flow operating activities consisted of an increase in our accounts receivable of $529,751; an increase of $106,391 of our accounts payable and accrued expenses and income tax payable; and, a decrease in our net income for the current nine months of $3,287. Variations in cash flow from operating activities may impact our level of exploration and development expenditures.
Our expenditures in operating activities consist primarily of drilling expenses, production expenses and engineering services. Our expenses also consist of employee compensation, accounting, insurance and other general and administrative expenses that we have incurred in order to address normal and necessary business activities of a public company in the crude oil and natural gas production industry.
Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities. Cash flow from investing activities is derived from changes in oil and gas property balances. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we had net cash of $3,670,019 used for additions to oil and gas properties compared to $1,365,030 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities. Cash flow from financing activities is derived from our changes in long-term debt and in equity account balances. Net cash flow used in our financing activities was $834,575 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared to cash flow used in our financing activities of $666,520 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we expended $209,000 to pay the regular annual dividend and $703,216 to purchase 57,766 shares of our stock for the treasury account and received $77,641 from the exercise of stock options.

Other Projects. We are participating in other projects and are reviewing projects in which we may participate. The cost of such projects would be funded, to the extent possible, from existing cash balances and cash flow from operations. The remainder may be funded through borrowings on the credit facility and, if appropriate, sales of non-core properties.
Sale of Properties. In November 2024, the Company conveyed its working and royalty interests in 13.5 net acres in Ward County, Texas. The Company received $15,000 per acre in the total amount of $202,500. The Company retained an overriding royalty interest equal to the positive difference between 25% and any existing burdens of record as of the effective date. The divestitures of this non-core oil and gas asset did not result in a significant alteration of the relationship between the Company’s capitalized costs and proved reserves and, accordingly, the Company recorded the proceeds as sales proceeds, a reduction of its full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized on the sale.
Pricing. Crude oil and natural gas prices generally remained volatile during the last year. The volatility of the energy markets makes it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. For example, in the last twelve months, the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $61.73 per bbl in September 2024 to a high of $82.89 per bbl in April 2024. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.21 per MMBtu in November 2024 to a high of $3.40 per MMBtu in December 2024.
On December 31, 2024, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $67.70 and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $3.40 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations below for realized prices. Pipeline capacity constraints and maintenance in the Permian Basin area has contributed to a wider difference between the WaHa Hub and the Henry Hub and at times prices were negative.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, there was net income of $469,133 compared to $345,610 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 as a result of an increase in operating revenues due to a increase in oil and gas production volumes partially offset by a decrease in oil and gas prices and an increase in operating expenses that is further explained below.
Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $1,828,404 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a 14% increase from $1,610,595 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This resulted from an increase in oil and natural gas production volumes partially offset by a decrease in oil and natural gas prices. Natural gas prices have been negatively impacted by limited pipeline capacity in the Permian Basin.

Other operating revenues. Other revenues increased to $62,861 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $45,848 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase resulted from a settlement in a class action lawsuit from Contango Resources and an increase in income from one of our limited liability company investments.
Interest income. Interest income on corporate funds decreased to $7,315 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $36,936 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease resulted from using the corporate funds for property acquisitions.
Production and exploration. Production costs were $460,241 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a 15% increase from $401,035 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This is the result of an increase in production taxes due to an increase in oil revenues and an increase in marketing and other charges due to the current natural gas pricing environment from limited pipeline takeaway capacity in the Permian and an increase in lease operating expenses on new wells in which we own an interest.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $636,424 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a 59% increase from $400,337 for the same period of fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in the full cost amortization base, an increase in oil and gas production and a decrease in gas reserves partially offset by a increase in oil reserves.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $340,514 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a 2% increase from $335,152 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to an increase in contract services.
Income taxes. There was an income tax benefit of $18,305 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to an expense of $202,945 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in state income taxes and a decrease in the deferred tax provision. The effective tax rate for state and federal taxes combined for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was (4%) and 37%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of state income taxes net of federal benefit, primarily in New Mexico, and the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income.
Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, there was a net income of $1,077,370 compared to net income of $1,080,657 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This was a result of an increase in operating revenues due to an increase in oil and gas production volumes partially offset by a decrease in oil and gas prices and an increase in operating expenses that is further explained below.
| 16 |
Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $5,212,313 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, an 11% increase from $4,706,395 for the same period of fiscal 2024. This resulted from a increase in oil and natural gas production partially offset by a decrease in oil and natural gas prices. Natural gas prices have been negatively impacted by pipeline capacity in the Permian Basin.

Other operating revenues. Other revenues increased to $156,014 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, from $105,077 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase resulted from a settlement in a class action lawsuit from Contango Resources and an increase in income from one of our limited liability company investments.
Interest income. Interest income on corporate funds decreased to $50,891 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, from $86,995 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease resulted from using the corporate funds for property acquisitions and purchase of treasury stock.
Production and exploration. Production costs were $1,311,066 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, a 15% increase from $1,143,116 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This is the result of an increase in production taxes due to an increase in oil revenues and an increase in marketing and other charges due to the current natural gas pricing environment from limited pipeline takeaway capacity in the Permian and an increase in lease operating expenses on new wells in which we own an interest.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $1,760,409 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, a 39% increase from $1,268,703 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in the full cost amortization base, an increase in oil and gas production and a decrease in gas reserves partially offset by an increase in oil reserves.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1,042,084 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, a 6% increase from $981,664 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in contract and engineering services partially offset by a decrease in salaries and stock option compensation.
Income taxes. Income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $200,034 compared to $398,971 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due a decrease in state income taxes and a decrease in the deferred tax provision. The effective tax rate for state and federal taxes combined for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 16% and 27%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily the result of state income taxes net of federal benefit, primarily in New Mexico, and the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary sources of market risk for us include fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. All of our financial instruments are for purposes other than trading.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss as a result of nonperformance by other parties of their contractual obligations. Our primary credit risk is related to oil and gas production sold to various purchasers and the receivables are generally not collateralized. At December 31, 2024, our largest credit risk associated with any single purchaser was $520,794 or 50% of our total oil and gas receivables. We have not experienced any significant credit losses.
| 17 |
Energy Price Risk. Our most significant market risk is the pricing applicable to our crude oil and natural gas production. Our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Prices for oil and natural gas production has been volatile and unpredictable for several years, and we expect this volatility to continue in the future.
Pipeline capacity constraints and maintenance in the Permian Basin area has contributed to a wider difference between the WaHa Hub and the Henry Hub and at times prices were negative.
Factors that can cause price fluctuations include the level of global demand for petroleum products, foreign and domestic supply of oil and gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil-exporting countries, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall political and economic conditions in oil producing and consuming countries.
For example, in the last twelve months, the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $61.73 per bbl in September 2024 to a high of $82.89 per bbl in April 2024. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) posted price for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.21 per MMBtu in November 2024 to a high of $3.40 per MMBtu in December 2024. On December 31, 2024, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $67.70 and the Henry Hub posted price for natural gas was $3.40. See Results of Operations above for the Company’s realized prices during the three and nine months. Subsequently, on January 27, 2025, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $69.15 and the Henry Hub posted price for natural gas was $3.71.
Declines in oil and natural gas prices will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and operating results. Changes in oil and gas prices impact both estimated future net revenue and the estimated quantity of proved reserves. Any reduction in reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can reduce the borrowing base under our credit facility and adversely affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to obtain additional capital for our acquisition, exploration and development activities. In addition, a noncash write-down of our oil and gas properties could be required under full cost accounting rules if prices declined significantly, even if it is only for a short period of time. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that can be produced economically. Thus, we may experience material increases or decreases in reserve quantities solely as a result of price changes and not as a result of drilling or well performance.
Similarly, any improvements in oil and gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. If the average oil price had increased or decreased by ten dollars per barrel for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased $616,850. If the average gas price had increased or decreased by one dollar per mcf for the first nine months of fiscal 2025, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased $420,236.
