Current report

Purchase of Louisiana Minerals

Current report

From December 2025 through March 2026, we acquired mineral and royalty interests in multiple parishes across Louisiana from various private sellers for cash consideration totaling $5.0 million, including capitalized direct transaction costs (“Louisiana Minerals”). The mineral acreage in Louisiana primarily consists of proved undeveloped acreage targeting the Bossier/Haynesville Shales and is currently being actively developed by operators in the area. The acquisitions were considered asset acquisitions and funded with cash on hand and sales from our ATM Sales Agreements.

Current report

granted us additional time to enter into further commodity hedges to meet the hedging requirements under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Current report

SCOOP/STACK Minerals Transactions

Current report

Subsequent to the third fiscal quarter of 2026, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a private buyer for the sale of a portion of our non-core, non-producing net royalty acres. The total sale price for the acreage is approximately $3.3 million, subject to customary closing conditions. The divestiture is expected to close in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026.

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.

Current wording

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 “SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition”) in a cash transaction valued at approximately $16.3 million, which includes $17.0 million paid at closing less transaction costs of $0.1 million and interim purchase price adjustments totaling approximately $0.8 million related to net cash flows earned on the properties from the effective date of May 1, 2025 to the closing date. We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and the allocation of the purchase price was $12.5 million to proved oil and natural gas properties, subject to amortization, and $3.8 million to unproved properties. We funded the purchase price for the SCOOP/STACK Minerals Acquisition with a combination of $15.0 million in borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and cash on hand.

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, (including ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, in the Middle East and Venezuela), 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.

More recently, during the third fiscal quarter, WTI oil prices reached their highest levels since 2022 due to crude oil disruptions at key oil shipping routes in the Middle East, including the Strait of Hormuz. 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

Oil, natural gas, and NGL prices have been, and we expect may continue to be, volatile. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, but an extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may affect planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of our borrowing base under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on various factors including the collateral value of our proved reserves.

Current wording

Oil, natural gas, and NGL prices have been, and we expect may continue to be, volatile. During the current fiscal year, crude oil spot prices for WTI dropped below $56 per barrel in December 2025 then rose to more than $100 per barrel in March 2026. Lower oil and natural gas prices not only decrease our revenues, partially offset by applicable hedges, but an extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may affect planned capital expenditures and the oil and natural gas reserves that we can economically produce. Lower oil and natural gas prices may also reduce the amount of our borrowing base under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is determined at the discretion of the lenders based on various factors including the collateral value of our proved reserves. Increases in crude oil and natural gas prices are partially offset to the extent that prices exceed applicable derivative contract swap and collar prices.

Previous wording

Given the dynamic nature of these factors and events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that certain market conditions will persist. Continuing volatility in political, trade, regulatory and economic conditions could impact supply and demand fundamentals, and any related significant declines in crude oil, natural gas, and NGL prices could lead to proved property impairments in the future. Future impairments of proved properties are difficult to predict, especially in a volatile price environment.

Current wording

Given the dynamic nature of these factors and events, we cannot reasonably estimate the period of time that certain market conditions will persist. Continuing volatility in political, trade, regulatory and economic conditions could impact supply and demand fundamentals as well as commodity pricing. Any related significant declines in crude oil, natural gas, and NGL prices could lead to proved property impairments in the future. Any significant increases in commodity prices could lead to further losses on our derivative contacts that partially offset price increases. Impairments and gains and losses on derivative contracts are difficult to predict, especially in a volatile price environment.

At times, we do maintain cash balances in excess of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”); however, we believe our bank counterparty to be financially sound. We also utilize insured cash sweep deposits to maximize the amount of our cash that is protected by FDIC insurance. We also rely heavily on our third-party operators who manage their own liquidity with various financial institutions. In 2022, the Federal Reserve took actions to raise interest rates in an attempt to constrain inflation and slow the economy. In 2024 and 2025, the Federal Reserve has taken action to slowly drop interest rates as inflationary pressures in the United States economy have begun to subside, but it is uncertain how recent trade policies and tariffs by the United States and foreign governments will impact inflation and the economy.

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.

Current wording

During the nine months ending March 31,2026, we incurred $4.0 million on development capital expenditures. A majority of our spending occurred at SCOOP/STACK, Chaveroo Field and Hamilton Dome Field. At SCOOP/STACK eight gross wells were brought online during the nine months ended March 31, 2016, three gross wells are currently in progress, and we have elected to participate in two gross wells. At Chaveroo Field and Hamilton Dome capital spending projects were for facility upgrades and consolidations. Remaining capital spending related to capital workover projects across our portfolio of 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.

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 December 31, 2025 were $66.01 per barrel of oil, $3.40 per MMBtu of natural gas and $23.22 per barrel of NGLs. As of December 31, 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 December 31, 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 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. 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.

Current wording

ceiling test as of March 31, 2026 were $63.80 per barrel of oil, $3.72 per MMBtu of natural gas and $22.50 per barrel of NGLs. As of March 31, 2026, 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 March 31, 2026 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 April and May 2026, which are more reflective of recent prices trends, to calculate a trailing 12-month average price of $70.06 per barrel of oil and $3.58 per MMBtu of natural gas, and keeping all other factors constant, the ceiling test calculation as of the fourth 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.
