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 fourteen 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 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, 2023, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2023 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.

 

Investments. The Company accounts for investments of less than 3% of any limited liability companies at cost. The Company has no control of the limited liability companies. The cost of the investment is recorded as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets and when income from the investment is received, it is immediately recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, retained earnings or net cash flows.

 

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.

The following table provides a rollforward of the AROs for the first nine months of fiscal 2024:

 

Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2023  $730,276 
Liabilities incurred   2,838 
Liabilities settled   (43,050)

Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2023   712,185 
Less: Current portion   20,000 
Non-Current asset retirement obligation  $692,185 

 

4. Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $58,847 and $41,460 in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $172,670 and $101,462, respectively. The total cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized at December 31, 2023 totals $559,490 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 2.39 years.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and the Company granted 32,000 stock options exercisable at $12.68 per share with an estimated fair value of $279,360. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved and the Company granted 31,000 stock options exercisable at $18.05 per share with an estimated fair value of $385,640. These options are exercisable at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, have an exercise period of ten years and generally vest over four years.

 

Included in the following table is a summary of the grant-date fair value of stock options granted and the related assumptions used in the Binomial models for stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. All such amounts represent the weighted average amounts.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, stock options covering 5,000 shares were exercised with a total intrinsic value of $47,575. The Company received proceeds of $16,700 from these exercises.

 

There were no stock options forfeited or expired during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. No forfeiture rate is assumed for stock options granted to directors or employees due to the forfeiture rate history of these types of awards.

 

Outstanding options at December 31, 2023 expire between August 2024 and April 2033 and have exercise prices ranging from $3.34 to $18.05.

 

5. Long Term Debt

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), which originally provided for a credit facility of $1,000,000 with a maturity date of December 28, 2021. The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually.

 

On February 28, 2020, the Agreement was amended to increase the credit facility to $2,500,000, extend the maturity date to March 28, 2023 and increase the borrowing base to $1,500,000. On March 28, 2023, the Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to March 28, 2026.

 

Under 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 (0.5%) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. As of December 31, 2023, there was $1,500,000 available for borrowing by the Company on the facility.

 

No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility, March 28, 2026. Upon closing the second amendment to the Agreement, the Company paid a loan origination fee of $9,000 plus legal and recording expenses totaling $12,950, which were deferred over the life 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.

 

The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter.

 

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 10, 2023 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.

 

There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of December 31, 2023.

 

6. Leases

 

The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 1,112 square feet of office space shared with and paid by our principal shareholder. The lease does not include an option to renew and is a 36-month lease that was to expire in May 2021. In June 2020, in exchange for a reduction in rent for the months of June and July 2020, the Company agreed to a 2-month extension to its current lease agreement at the regular monthly rate extending its current lease expiration date to July 2021. In June 2021, the Company agreed to extend its current lease at a flat (unescalated) rate for 36 months. The amended lease now expires on July 31, 2024.

 

 9 

 

 

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 3.75%. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The balance sheets classification of lease assets and liabilities was as follows:

 

   December 31, 2023 
Assets    
Operating lease right-of-use asset, beginning balance  $75,629 
Current period amortization   (42,076)
Total operating lease right-of-use asset  $33,553 
      
Liabilities     
Operating lease liability, current  $33,553 
Operating lease liability, long term   - 
Total lease liabilities  $33,553 

 

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2023 under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

 

   Lease Obligation 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024   14,560 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025   19,413 
Total lease payments  $33,973 
Less: imputed interest   (420)
Operating lease liability   33,553 
Less: operating lease liability, current   (33,553)
Operating lease liability, long term  $- 

 

Net cash paid for our operating lease for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $32,001. Rent expense, less sublease income of $11,679 is included in general and administrative expenses.

 

7. Income Taxes

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations with book financial statement income in excess of $1.0 billion, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 also establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1.0 million after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 did not impact the Company’s current year tax provision or the Company’s financial statements.

 

The income tax provision consists of the following for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 

   2023   2022 
   Nine Months Ended 
   December 31 
   2023   2022 
Current income tax expense:          
Federal  $-   $- 
State   79,123    115,236 
Total current income tax expense   79,123    115,236 
Deferred income tax expense:          
Federal   319,848    - 
State   -    - 
Total deferred income tax expense   319,848    - 
Total income tax expense:  $398,971   $115,236 

 

 10 

 

 

Federal income tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $319,848. There was no federal income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 because the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate for the nine months ended December 31 follows:

 

   2023   2022 
Tax expense at federal statutory rate (1)  $294,106   $788,586 
Statutory depletion carryforward   (5,694)   (257,509)
Change in valuation allowance   (3,578)   (550,947)
Permanent differences   35,014    19,812 
State income expense   79,123    115,236 
Other   -    58 
Total income tax  $398,971   $115,236 
Effective income tax rate   27%   3%

 

(1) The federal statutory rate was 21% for nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

Related party transactions for the Company primarily relate to shared office expenditures in addition to administrative and operating expenses paid on behalf of the principal stockholder. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $3,625 and $11,598, respectively. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $21,619 and $35,333, respectively. The principal stockholder pays for his share of the lease amount for the shared office space directly to the lessor. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the three months ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $3,893. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the nine months ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $11,679.

 

9. Income Per Common Share

 

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 

   2023   2022   2023   2022 
   Three Months Ended   Nine Months Ended 
   December 31   December 31 
   2023   2022   2023   2022 
Net income  $345,610   $1,244,785   $1,080,657   $3,755,173 
                     
Shares outstanding:                    
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – basic   2,103,503    2,147,750    2,120,611    2,148,859 
Effect of assumed exercise of dilutive stock options   48,280    57,956    49,097    64,793 
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – dilutive   2,151,783    2,205,706    2,169,708    2,213,652 
                     
Income per common share:                    
Basic  $0.16   $0.58   $0.51   $1.75 
Diluted  $0.16   $0.56   $0.50   $1.70 

 

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, 63,000 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $15.32 at December 31, 2023. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, 31,000 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $18.05 at December 31, 2022.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

 

In March 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the use of up to $1,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.50, for the treasury account. This program does not have an expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board. Under the repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time through open market purchases or other transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases will be subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance and other conditions. Repurchases may also be made from time-to-time in connection with the settlement of our share-based compensation awards. Repurchases will be funded from cash flow.

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1,000,000 after December 31, 2022.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 37,161 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $455,133. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 12,416 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $168,260. Subsequently, in January 2024, the Company repurchased 1,501 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $15,018.

 

On April 10, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.10 per common share. The Company paid the special dividend of $213,600 on May 15, 2023 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2023. The Company can provide no assurance that dividends will be declared in the future or as to the amount of any future dividend.

 

Dividends declared by the Board and stock repurchased during the period are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as dividends paid and purchases of treasury stock, respectively. Dividends paid and stock repurchased during the period are presented as cash used in financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Stock repurchases are included as treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

11. Subsequent Events

 

In February 2024, Mexco expended approximately $244,000 to participate in the drilling of six horizontal wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico.

 

The Company completed a review and analysis of all events that occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date to determine if any such events must be reported and has determined that there are no other subsequent events to be disclosed.

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, 2023, we had working capital of $4,297,176 compared to working capital of $3,475,776 at March 31, 2023, an increase of $821,400 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:

 

   For the Nine Months Ended
December 31,		     
   2023   2022   Change 
Net cash provided by operating activities   3,374,717    4,350,920    (976,203)
Net cash used in investing activities   (1,365,030)   (4,969,269)   (3,604,239)
Net cash used in financing activities   (666,520)   (121,381)   545,139 

 

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, 2023 was $3,374,717 in comparison to $4,350,920 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease of $976,203 in our cash flow operating activities consisted of an increase in our non-cash expenses of $384,803; a decrease in our accounts receivable of $1,192,691; an increase of $113,278 of our accounts payable and accrued expenses; and, a decrease in our net income for the current nine months of $2,674,516. 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, 2023, we had net cash of $1,365,030 used for additions to oil and gas properties compared to $4,969,269 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

 

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. Cash flow used in our financing activities was $666,520 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to cash flow used in our financing activities of $121,381 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we expended $213,600 to pay the special dividend and $455,132 to purchase 37,161 shares of our stock for the treasury account.

 

Accordingly, net cash increased $1,343,167, leaving cash and cash equivalents on hand of $3,578,938 as of December 31, 2023.

The remainder may be funded through borrowings on the credit facility and, if appropriate, sales of non-core properties.

 

Crude oil and natural gas 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 $62.72 per bbl in March 2023 to a high of $89.66 per bbl in September 2023. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) posted price for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.74 per MMBtu in June 2023 to a high of $3.78 per MMBtu in January 2023.

 

On December 31, 2023, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $67.63 and the Henry Hub posted price for natural gas was $2.58. See Results of Operations below for realized price.

 

Contractual Obligations. We have no off-balance sheet debt or unrecorded obligations and have not guaranteed the debt of any other party. The following table summarizes our future payments we are obligated to make based on agreements in place as of December 31, 2023:

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, there was net income of $345,610 compared to $1,244,785 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as a result of a decrease in operating revenues due to a decrease in oil and gas prices and production partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses that is further explained below.

 

Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $1,610,595 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a 35% decrease from $2,486,017 for the same period of fiscal 2023. This resulted from a decrease in oil and natural gas production volumes and a decrease in oil and natural gas prices.

 

   2023   2022   % Difference 
Oil:               
Revenue  $1,387,008   $1,750,539    (20.8%)
Volume (bbls)   17,636    21,308    (17.2%)
Average Price (per bbl)  $78.65   $82.15    (4.3%)
                
Gas:               
Revenue  $223,587   $735,478    (69.6%)
Volume (mcf)   122,794    145,980    (15.9%)
Average Price (per mcf)  $1.82   $5.04    (63.9%)

 

Production and exploration. Production costs were $401,035 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a 16% decrease from $478,670 for the same period of fiscal 2023. This is primarily the result of a decrease in production taxes and marketing charges as a result of the decrease in oil and gas revenues.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $400,337 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a 19% decrease from $496,509 for the same period of fiscal 2023, primarily due to a decrease in production and full cost pool amortization base.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $335,153 for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, a 16% increase from $288,536 for the same period of fiscal 2023. This was primarily due to an increase in accounting fees and employee stock option compensation.

 

Income taxes. Federal income tax for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $169,986. There was no federal income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 because the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position. State income tax was $32,959 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, a 47% decrease from $61,986 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 due to the decrease in oil and natural gas sales in the State of New Mexico. The effective tax rate for state and federal taxes combined for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 37% and 5%, respectively. The increase in the effective federal tax rate is the result of the reconciliation to the federal tax return.

 

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, there was a net income of $1,080,657 compared to net income of $3,755,173 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This was a result of a decrease in operating revenues due to a decrease in oil and gas prices and a decrease in gas production partially offset by an increase in oil production and a decrease in operating expenses that is further explained below.

 

Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $4,706,395 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a 35% decrease from $7,184,025 for the same period of fiscal 2023. This resulted from a decrease in oil and natural gas prices and a decrease in natural gas production partially offset by an increase in oil production.

 

   2023   2022   % Difference 
Oil:               
Revenue  $3,916,792   $4,707,735    (16.8%)
Volume (bbls)   50,826    50,052    1.5%
Average Price (per bbl)  $77.06   $94.06    (18.1%)
                
Gas:               
Revenue  $789,903   $2,476,290    (68.1%)
Volume (mcf)   372,459    394,293    (5.5%)
Average Price (per mcf)  $2.12   $6.28    (66.2%)

Production and exploration. Production costs were $1,143,116 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a 13% decrease from $1,308,143 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in production taxes and marketing charges as a result of the decrease in oil and gas revenues.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $1,268,703 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a .1% increase from $1,268,016 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, due to a decrease in oil and gas reserves and an increase in oil production partially offset by a decrease in gas production and the full cost amortization base.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $981,665 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a 12% increase from $876,735 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This was primarily due to an increase in employee stock option compensation, accounting fees and engineering services partially offset by a decrease in legal fees.

 

Income taxes. Federal income tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $319,848. There was no federal income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 because the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position. State income tax was $79,123 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, a 31% decrease from $115,236 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 due to the decrease in oil and natural gas sales in the State of New Mexico. The effective tax rate for state and federal taxes combined for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 27% and 3%, respectively. The increase in the effective federal tax rate is the result of the reconciliation to the federal tax return.

 

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, 2023, our largest credit risk associated with any single purchaser was $565,161 or 62% of our total oil and gas receivables. We have not experienced any significant credit losses.

 

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.

 

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 $62.72 per bbl in March 2023 to a high of $89.66 per bbl in September 2023. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) posted price for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.74 per MMBtu in June 2023 to a high of $3.78 per MMBtu in January 2023. On December 31, 2023, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $67.63 and the Henry Hub posted price for natural gas was $2.58. See Results of Operations above for the Company’s realized prices during the three and nine months. Subsequently, on January 30, 2024, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $73.80 and the Henry Hub posted price for natural gas was $2.26.

 

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 2024, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased $508,260. If the average gas price had increased or decreased by one dollar per mcf for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, our operating revenues would have increased or decreased $372,459.

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 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, 2023, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2023 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.

 

Investments. The Company accounts for investments of less than 3% of any limited liability companies at cost. The Company has no control of the limited liability companies. The cost of the investment is recorded as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets and when income from the investment is received, it is immediately recognized on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Reclassifications. Certain amounts in prior periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations, retained earnings or net cash flows.

Asset Retirement Obligations

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.

 

 

The following table provides a rollforward of the AROs for the first nine months of fiscal 2024:

 

Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2023  $730,276 
Liabilities incurred   2,838 
Liabilities settled   (43,050)

Long Term Debt

5. Long Term Debt

 

On December 28, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), which originally provided for a credit facility of $1,000,000 with a maturity date of December 28, 2021. The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually.

 

On February 28, 2020, the Agreement was amended to increase the credit facility to $2,500,000, extend the maturity date to March 28, 2023 and increase the borrowing base to $1,500,000. On March 28, 2023, the Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to March 28, 2026.

 

Under 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 (0.5%) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. As of December 31, 2023, there was $1,500,000 available for borrowing by the Company on the facility.

 

No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility, March 28, 2026. Upon closing the second amendment to the Agreement, the Company paid a loan origination fee of $9,000 plus legal and recording expenses totaling $12,950, which were deferred over the life 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.

 

The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter.

 

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 10, 2023 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.

 

There was no balance outstanding on the line of credit as of December 31, 2023.

6. Leases

 

The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 1,112 square feet of office space shared with and paid by our principal shareholder. The lease does not include an option to renew and is a 36-month lease that was to expire in May 2021. In June 2020, in exchange for a reduction in rent for the months of June and July 2020, the Company agreed to a 2-month extension to its current lease agreement at the regular monthly rate extending its current lease expiration date to July 2021. In June 2021, the Company agreed to extend its current lease at a flat (unescalated) rate for 36 months. The amended lease now expires on July 31, 2024.

 

 

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 3.75%. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The balance sheets classification of lease assets and liabilities was as follows:

 

   December 31, 2023 
Assets    
Operating lease right-of-use asset, beginning balance  $75,629 
Current period amortization   (42,076)
Total operating lease right-of-use asset  $33,553 
      
Liabilities     
Operating lease liability, current  $33,553 
Operating lease liability, long term   - 
Total lease liabilities  $33,553 

 

Future minimum lease payments as of December 31, 2023 under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

 

   Lease Obligation 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024   14,560 
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025   19,413 
Total lease payments  $33,973 
Less: imputed interest   (420)
Operating lease liability   33,553 
Less: operating lease liability, current   (33,553)
Operating lease liability, long term  $- 

 

Net cash paid for our operating lease for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $32,001. Rent expense, less sublease income of $11,679 is included in general and administrative expenses.

7. Income Taxes

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on corporations with book financial statement income in excess of $1.0 billion, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 also establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1.0 million after December 31, 2022. The IRA 2022 did not impact the Company’s current year tax provision or the Company’s financial statements.

 

The income tax provision consists of the following for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 

   2023   2022 
   Nine Months Ended 
   December 31

State   -    - 
Total deferred income tax expense   319,848    - 
Total income tax expense:  $398,971   $115,236 

 

 

Federal income tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $319,848. There was no federal income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 because the Company was in a net deferred tax asset position.

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate for the nine months ended December 31 follows:

 

   2023   2022 
Tax expense at federal statutory rate (1)  $294,106   $788,586 
Statutory depletion carryforward   (5,694)   (257,509)
Change in valuation allowance   (3,578)   (550,947)
Permanent differences   35,014    19,812

Other   -    58 
Total income tax  $398,971   $115,236 
Effective income tax rate   27%   3%

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, 63,000 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $15.32 at December 31, 2023. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, 31,000 shares relating to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted net income because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

In March 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the use of up to $1,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.50, for the treasury account. This program does not have an expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board. Under the repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time through open market purchases or other transactions. The amount and timing of repurchases will be subject to the availability of stock, prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the stock, our financial performance and other conditions. Repurchases may also be made from time-to-time in connection with the settlement of our share-based compensation awards. Repurchases will be funded from cash flow.

 

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”). The IRA 2022, among other tax provisions, establishes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, effective for stock repurchases in excess of an annual limit of $1,000,000 after December 31, 2022.

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 37,161 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $455,133. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 12,416 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $168,260. Subsequently, in January 2024, the Company repurchased 1,501 shares for the treasury at an aggregate cost of $15,018.

 

On April 10, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.10 per common share. The Company paid the special dividend of $213,600 on May 15, 2023 to the stockholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2023. The Company can provide no assurance that dividends will be declared in the future or as to the amount of any future dividend.

 

Dividends declared by the Board and stock repurchased during the period are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as dividends paid and purchases of treasury stock, respectively. Dividends paid and stock repurchased during the period are presented as cash used in financing activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Stock repurchases are included as treasury stock in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.
