Revenues: Total revenues from the oil and gas operation was
$764,000 in 2016 and $820,000 in 2015. Net revenue for our oil and
gas operation decreased by $56,000 in 2016 as compared to 2015.
Included in 2016 revenue is a onetime fee of $30,000. The drop in
revenue in 2016 was principally due to a reduction in the quantity
of oil and gas produced.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the oil and gas
operation were $1.2 million in 2016 and $1.8 million in 2015. This
decrease was the result of an overall reduction in operating
expenses as the Company has actively reduced expenses to compensate
for a slowdown in the oil and gas operation.
Corporate Expenses were $352,000 in 2016 and $605,000 in 2015.
The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in wages and general
operating expenses.
Interest Income & Expense: Interest Expense was $38,000
in 2016 as compared to $62,000 in 2015. The decrease was due to a
reduction in the long term debt owed to the bank as well as
previous owners of the Company’s oil and gas operation in West
Virginia / Ohio.
Gain on Prepayment of Debt: In 2016 the Company settled a long
term debt that was generated from the purchase of the oil and gas
operation in 2008. The settlement resulted in a gain of
$888,000.
Other Income & (Expense): Other income & (expense) was
($110,000) for 2016 as compared to ($32,000) in 2015. The expenses
in 2016 were principally the write off assets pertaining to the
termination of the lease at the retirement center.
Bad Debt Expense (Recovery): In 2015 the company recorded a bad
debt expense recovery of $1,430,000 with respect to a note
receivable that was fully reserved in a prior year.
Discontinued Operations: The Company leased and operated Pacific
Pointe Retirement Inn (“Pacific Pointe”), a retirement community in
King City, Oregon. Our lease provides that should the property be
sold the lease maintained by the Company would be terminated. The
owners completed the sale of the building on March 30, 2017 and our
lease terminated on that date. These financial statements reflect
the operations of the retirement community as a discontinued
operation. Net income from discontinued operations was $4,000 and
$332,000 in 2016 and 2015 respectively.
