In 2012, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05 which requires the presentation of the components of net income and other comprehensive income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity.

Note 4:
Income Taxes:
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in federal and state income tax returns for the tax years ending December 31, 2008 through 2011 that remain subject to examination. The Company believes that all filing positions are highly certain and that all income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon a taxing jurisdiction’s audit. Therefore, no reserve for uncertain tax positions is required. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated.
Note 5: Land Sale:
During the first quarter of 2012, the Company sold 80 acres of land for $160,000 and reported a gain of $124,000. At March 31, 2012, this transaction was structured as a “deferred exchange using a qualified intermediary” pursuant to Paragraph 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (1031 Exchange) for income tax purposes and as such the gain of $124,000 was deferred for income tax purposes. During July, 2012, the Company determined that it would not be able to complete the 1031 Exchange and the $159,000 held by the intermediary was returned to the Company. At June 30, 2012, the Company recorded the $124,000 gain as current for income tax purposes

Notes to above schedule:
(1)
Before deduction of production and severance taxes.
(2)
Excludes plant products.
Timber revenue increased from $3,439 to $5,005 in 2012. Generally, timber prices have been depressed for the last several years and the Company has elected to only harvest timber for internal maintenance programs for age class timber and storm protection measures.
Agriculture revenue increased from $24,464 to $310,042 in 2012, primarily due to a pipeline right of way fee.
Costs and Expenses
Oil and gas production costs, primarily severance taxes, increased by $71,735 in 2012 due to increased oil and gas revenues.
Other costs and expenses incurred for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were generally flat from 2011 reported amounts.
Financial Condition
Current assets less restricted cash and non-current certificates of deposit totaled $5,938,786 and total liabilities equaled $240,229 at June 30, 2012. Management believes available cash and investments together with funds generated from operations should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and provide funds for strategic acquisitions.
The Company declared and paid another seven cents per common share during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to continue paying a seven cents per common share dividend each quarter. From time to time, the Company may elect to pay an extra dividend. In determining if an extra dividend will be declared, the Board of Directors will take into consideration the Company’s current liquidity and capital resources and the availability of suitable timberland that has mineral potential.
Issues and Uncertainties
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of issues and uncertainties such as those discussed below, which, among others, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s financial outlook.
Revenues from oil and gas provide most of the Company’s income. All of these revenues come from wells operated by other companies from property belonging to CKX Lands, Inc. Consequently, these revenues fluctuate due to changes in oil and gas prices and changes in the operations of the other companies.
Item 4.
