On August 4, 2025, wecompleted the acquisition of certain mineral and royalty interests in the SCOOP and STACK plays in Oklahoma from a non-affiliated private seller (the “Minerals Acquisition”) in a cash transaction valued at approximately $16.9 million, which includes $17.0 million paid at closing less interim purchase price adjustments totaling approximately $0.1 million related to net cash flows earned on the properties from the effective date to the closing date. We expect to receive the remaining net cash flows from the properties between the effective date of May 1, 2025 and the closing date, at the final post-closing settlement process expected to occur during the second quarter of fiscal 2026. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price was $11.1 million to proved oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, and $5.8 million to unproved properties. We funded the purchase price for the Minerals Acquisition with a combination of $15.0 million in borrowings under our

closing date. We expect to receive the remaining net cash flows from the properties between the effective date of May 1, 2025 and the closing date, at the final post-closing settlement process expected to occur during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price was $11.7 million to proved oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, and $4.6 million to unproved properties. We funded the purchase price for the Minerals Acquisition with a combination of $15.0 million in borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and cash on hand. The acquired assets include an average royalty interest of 0.6% across approximately 5,500 net royalty acres located primarily in Grady and Canadian Counties, Oklahoma.

Previous wording

The oil and natural gas industry is a global market impacted by many factors, such as government regulations, particularly in the areas of tariffs, trade sanctions, taxation, energy, climate change and the environment, geopolitical instability and armed conflicts (including between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, demand in Asian and European markets, and the extent to which members of OPEC and other oil exporting nations manage oil supply through export quotas. Natural gas prices are generally determined by North American supply and demand and are also affected by imports and exports of liquefied natural gas. Weather also has a significant impact on demand for natural gas since it is a primary heating source.

Previous wording

During the three months ending September 30, 2025, we incurred $1.9 million on development capital expenditures. A majority of our spending occurred at SCOOP/STACK where our operators are actively drilling and completing three gross wells and capital workover projects across our assets. Based on discussions with our operators, we expect capital workover projects to continue in most of our fields throughout the remainder of the year as well as further drilling at SCOOP/STACK.

Current wording

During the six months ending December 31, 2025, we incurred $2.5 million on development capital expenditures. A majority of our spending occurred at SCOOP/STACK where our operators are actively drilling. Three gross wells were brought online during the first quarter of the year, and three gross wells are currently in progress. Based on discussions with our operators, we expect capital workover projects to continue in most of our fields throughout the remainder of the year as well as further drilling at SCOOP/STACK.

Previous wording

Overall, for fiscal year 2026, we expect budgeted capital expenditures to be in the range of $4.0 million to $6.0 million, which excludes any potential acquisitions. Our expected capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 include bringing approximately five gross wells online at our SCOOP/STACK properties. Additionally, as our third-party operators continue to be active around our acreage, we would expect additional wells to be drilled and/or completed. At Chaveroo Field, we expect to have drilling permits in hand for the next round of six wells before the end of the fiscal year 2026 and the final decision by us and our partner as to timing for spudding these wells will be made based on oil prices and completed well costs at that time.

Current wording

Overall, for fiscal year 2026, we expect budgeted capital expenditures to be in the range of $4.0 million to $6.0 million, which excludes any potential acquisitions. Our expected capital expenditures for fiscal year 2026 include bringing approximately nine gross wells online, including the six gross wells described above, at our SCOOP/STACK properties. Additionally, as our third-party operators continue to be active around our acreage, we would expect additional wells to be drilled and/or completed. At Chaveroo Field, we anticipate securing permits for the next six wells before the end of the fiscal year 2026. The final decision, made jointly with our partner, on when to spud these wells will depend on prevailing oil prices and completed well costs at that time.

Previous wording

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated depletion, depreciation, and amortization and related deferred taxes, are limited to the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, as adjusted for related income tax effects (the valuation “ceiling”). If capitalized costs exceed the full cost ceiling, the excess would be charged to expense as a write-down of oil and natural gas properties in the quarter in which the excess occurred. The quarterly ceiling test calculation requires that we use the average first day of the month price for our petroleum products during the 12-month period ending with the balance sheet date. The prices used in calculating our ceiling test as of September 30, 2025 were $68.07 per barrel of oil, $3.11 per MMBtu of natural gas and $23.89 per barrel of NGLs. As of September 30, 2025, our capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, were below the full cost valuation ceiling. If commodity price levels were to substantially decline from the 12-month average first day of the month pricing levels as of September 30, 2025 and remain down for a prolonged period of time, our valuation ceiling over our capitalized costs may be reduced and adversely impact our ceiling test results in future quarters and the effect could be material to our net earnings. Using first day of the month prices for October and November 2025, which are more reflective of recent prices trends, to calculate a trailing 12-month average price of $66.98 per barrel of oil and $3.18 per MMBtu of natural gas, and keeping all other factors constant, the ceiling test calculation as of the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 would not have generated a ceiling test impairment. We cannot give assurance that a write-down of capitalized oil and natural gas properties will not be required at some point in the future as commodity prices are volatile and unpredictable. In addition to commodity prices, our production rates, levels of proved reserves, future development costs, transfers of unevaluated properties to our full cost pool, capital spending and other factors will determine our actual ceiling test calculation and impairment analyses in future periods.

Using first day of the month prices for January and February 2026, which are more reflective of recent prices trends, to calculate a trailing 12-month average price of $64.05 per barrel of oil and $3.80 per MMBtu of natural gas, and keeping all other factors constant, the ceiling test calculation as of the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 would not have generated a ceiling test impairment.
