Current report
Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate widely and are influenced by numerous factors beyond our control, including global supply and demand, actions of OPEC and other producing nations, government regulation and taxation (including environmental regulation), levels of exploration and production activity, transportation and storage capacity constraints, availability of alternative fuels, technological developments affecting energy consumption, speculative trading in commodity derivatives, weather conditions, geopolitical developments, pandemics, and overall global economic conditions.
Current report
These price fluctuations impact our cash flows, capital expenditure flexibility, and access to capital. Reductions in prices may decrease the borrowing base under our credit facility, trigger ceiling test write-downs, and reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that can be produced economically. As a result, reserve estimates may change significantly due to price movements rather than operational performance.
Current report
Changes in commodity prices also affect estimated future net revenues and proved reserve quantities, which in turn can reduce our borrowing capacity and limit access to additional capital for exploration and development activities.
Current report
Oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily move in tandem, and periods of low prices or limited storage or transportation capacity may adversely affect our financial condition by reducing revenues, operating income, and cash flows, causing production curtailments or shut-ins, rendering certain properties uneconomic, and limiting our liquidity and ability to fund capital expenditures.
Current report
Our business is subject to risks and uncertainties arising from volatility in political, legal, and regulatory environments, including changes in U.S. presidential administrations, shifting energy and trade policies, and increased geopolitical tensions. Ongoing armed conflicts, including the war between Russia and Ukraine and instability in the Middle East, as well as other regional conflicts or civil unrest in crude oil and natural gas producing areas, may contribute to commodity price volatility and supply disruptions.
Current report
Escalating trade tensions and a more fragmented global trade environment, including between the United States and key trading partners such as China, Mexico, and Canada, have resulted in, and may continue to result in, tariffs, sanctions, export controls, or other trade restrictions. These measures, as well as efforts to reshore or diversify critical supply chains, may increase costs and limit the availability of equipment, materials, and services required for our operators’ drilling and development activities.
Current report
At the same time, energy security policies and regulatory initiatives in the United States and abroad may seek to increase domestic oil and natural gas production, which could alter supply-demand dynamics and exert downward pressure on commodity prices. These factors, individually or collectively, could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Current report
In recent years, U.S. federal and state governments have considered or implemented legislation and regulatory initiatives aimed at GHG emissions, including methane and carbon dioxide. Such measures, including potential emissions fees, reporting requirements, or performance standards, could increase operating costs and compliance burdens within the oil and natural gas industry.
Current report
In addition, produced water and other fluids associated with oil and natural gas production are commonly disposed of through underground injection wells. Regulators have increasingly focused on the potential link between fluid injection and induced seismicity. As a result, state regulatory agencies, including the Texas Railroad Commission, have imposed restrictions or additional permitting requirements on saltwater disposal wells in certain areas, including portions of the Permian Basin. Further regulation of fluid disposal or seismicity concerns could increase operating costs, limit disposal capacity, and adversely impact the economic viability of drilling and production activities.
Current report
We account for our oil and natural gas operations using the full cost method, under which acquisition, exploration, and development costs—including costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and lease rentals—are capitalized. Sales or dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are recorded as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized. Depletion is calculated using the units-of-production method based on total proved reserves.
Current report
Under full cost accounting rules, the net capitalized cost of oil and natural gas properties is subject to a “ceiling limitation” based on the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. The ceiling calculation uses the unweighted arithmetic average first-day-of-the-month prices for oil and natural gas over the preceding 12-month period and is performed quarterly. If capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the excess must be charged to earnings as a noncash “ceiling test write-down.” While such write-downs do not affect cash flows from operations, they reduce net income and stockholders’ equity.
Current report
The risk of ceiling test write-downs increases during periods of low commodity prices. There were no ceiling test impairments recorded during fiscal 2026 or 2025.
Current report
Our future success depends on our ability to find, develop, or acquire additional economically recoverable oil and gas reserves. Proved reserves will generally decline as reserves are depleted, except to the extent that they are replaced through successful exploration, development, or acquisition activities. The availability of high-quality domestic oil and natural gas opportunities is limited, and competition for such assets is intense; as a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, complete, or integrate acquisitions on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to replace reserves on an economic basis, our production, revenues, and long-term business prospects could be adversely affected.
Current report
Reserve estimates are based on engineering and geological data and require significant judgment in interpreting such data and projecting future production rates, development timing, and associated expenditures. Reserve engineering is an inherently subjective process that involves estimates of subsurface oil and gas accumulations that cannot be measured precisely.
Current report
Estimates of economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of assumptions, including future production levels, commodity prices, operating costs, development costs, and remedial expenditures, all of which may differ materially from actual results. As a result, reserve estimates and related cash flow projections may vary significantly over time.
Current report
As required by the SEC, estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves are calculated using a 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of first-day-of-the-month oil and gas prices for the period preceding the reporting date. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in such estimates, which could result in significant revisions to reported reserves and associated valuations.
Current report
Availability under our credit facility is determined periodically by our lenders and is based in part on estimates of our oil and natural gas reserves. Reductions in reserve estimates (whether due to lower commodity prices, production declines, drilling results, changes in reserve engineering assumptions, or lender determination practices) could reduce the borrowing base and, in turn, the amount available under the facility. Any such reduction could limit our liquidity and ability to fund exploration and development activities.
Current report
We have limited or no control over key operational decisions, including the timing and nature of drilling and development activities, capital expenditures, and technology selection. The success and timing of operations are also dependent on the operator’s technical expertise, financial resources, and ability to obtain approvals from other participants.
Current report
A third-party operator’s failure to perform adequately, breach of applicable agreements, or actions adverse to our interests could reduce production and revenues, adversely affect liquidity, increase capital requirements beyond current plans, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
In particular, U.S. federal tax policy remains subject to significant legislative activity and uncertainty, including comprehensive tax legislation proposals such as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and other similar measures that may modify corporate tax rates, limit deductions, or otherwise change the taxation of energy companies. In addition, prior and future legislative proposals have considered changes to tax provisions historically utilized by crude oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, including percentage depletion allowances, intangible drilling and development cost deductions, deductions related to production activities, and amortization periods for geological and geophysical expenditures.
Current report
The enactment of any such legislation or regulatory changes that alter, eliminate, or defer tax deductions or otherwise increase the tax burden on the industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Current report
Our reliance on information technology, including systems hosted or managed by third parties, exposes us to cybersecurity risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The oil and natural gas industry is increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct exploration, development, production, and processing activities, including seismic data interpretation, drilling operations, production equipment and gathering systems management, reservoir modeling and reserves estimation, and the processing and recording of financial and operational data. At the same time, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks and unintentional events, have increased in frequency and sophistication. The U.S. government has issued public warnings indicating that energy assets may be targeted by cybersecurity threats.
Current report
Our systems, as well as those of our operators, vendors, suppliers, and other business partners, may be subject to cyberattacks, information security breaches, or other cybersecurity incidents that could result in unauthorized access to, misuse, loss, or destruction of proprietary and other information, or disruption of business activities. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as surveillance or other advanced persistent threats, may remain undetected for extended periods. Our existing protective measures may not be sufficient to prevent or detect such incidents, and we may need to expend additional resources to enhance our cybersecurity measures, investigate incidents, or remediate vulnerabilities as threats continue to evolve.

Previous report
Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate widely. We cannot predict future oil and natural gas prices with any certainty. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Factors that can cause price fluctuations include the level of global demand for petroleum products; foreign supply and pricing of oil and gas; the actions of OPEC, its members and other state-controlled oil companies relating to oil price and production controls; nature and extent of governmental regulation and taxation, including environmental regulations; level of domestic and international exploration, drilling and production activity; the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas; speculative trading in crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts; availability, proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and other transportation facilities; weather conditions; the price and availability of alternative fuels; technological advances affecting energy consumption; national and international pandemics; and, overall political and economic conditions in oil producing countries.
Previous report
Increases and decreases in prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The amount we can borrow from banks may be subject to redetermination based on changes in prices. In addition, we may have ceiling test writedowns when prices decline. 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.
Previous report
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 exploration and development activities.
Previous report
Oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relationship to each other. Lower prices or lack of storage may have an adverse affect on our financial condition due to reduction of our revenues, operating income and cash flows; curtailment or shut-in of our production due to lack of transportation or storage capacity; cause certain properties in our portfolio to become economically unviable; and, limit our financial condition, liquidity, and/or ability to finance planned capital expenditures and operations.
Previous report
Our business, financial condition and future results are subject to political and economic risks and uncertainties, including volatility in the political, legal and regulatory environments as a result of the change in U.S. presidential administration and instability resulting from civil unrest, political demonstrations, mass strikes or armed conflict or other crises in crude oil or natural gas producing areas such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict. Escalating trade tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, China and other countries, may lead to the imposition of tariffs and trade restrictions. Our operators could face unanticipated costs and competition for materials and components to continue their current drilling plans. In addition, the current U.S. presidential administration has signaled it will encourage increased domestic production of crude oil, which could lead to falling crude oil and natural gas prices.
Previous report
In recent years the U.S. Congress has considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, including methane, a primary component of natural gas, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of natural gas. Addressing GHG emissions with legislation on emissions fees could increase operating costs within the oil and gas industry.
Previous report
Fluids resulting from crude oil and natural gas production, consisting primarily of salt-water, are disposed by injection in belowground disposal wells. In recent years, state and federal regulatory agencies have focused on a possible connection between fluid injection and increased seismic activity. The Texas Railroad Commission has suspended or limited new well permits for salt water disposal wells, particularly in the Permian Basin. Increased regulation on the treatment and disposal of fluids could increase operating costs and curtail economical drilling.
Previous report
Lower oil and gas prices increase the risk of ceiling limitation write-downs. We use the full cost method to account for oil and gas operations. Accordingly, we capitalize the cost to acquire, explore for and develop crude oil and natural gas properties including the cost of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs and annual lease rentals. Sales or other dispositions of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded. Depletion of evaluated oil and natural gas properties is computed in the units of production method, whereby capitalized costs are amortized over total proved reserves. Under the full cost accounting rules, the net capitalized cost of crude oil and natural gas properties may not exceed a “ceiling limit” which is based upon the present value of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties. If net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties exceed the ceiling limit, we must charge the amount of the excess against earnings. This is called a “ceiling test writedown.” We use the unweighted arithmetic average first day of the month price for oil and natural gas for the 12-month period preceding the calculation date in estimating discounted future net reserves. Under the accounting rules, we are required to perform a ceiling test each quarter. A ceiling test writedown does not impact cash flow from operating activities, but does reduce stockholders’ equity and earnings. The risk that we will be required to write down the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties increases when oil and natural gas prices are low. There were no ceiling test impairments on our oil and gas properties during fiscal 2025 and 2024.
Previous report
Our future success depends upon our ability to find, develop or acquire additional, economically recoverable oil and gas reserves. Our proved reserves will generally decline as reserves are depleted, except to the extent that we can find, develop or acquire replacement reserves. One offset to the obvious benefits afforded by higher product prices especially for small to mid-cap companies in this industry, is that quality domestic oil and gas reserves are hard to find.
Previous report
Estimates of oil and gas reserves, by necessity, are projections based on engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that are difficult to measure. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net cash flows depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as future production, oil and gas prices, operating costs, development costs and remedial costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. As a result, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of oil and gas and of future net cash flows expected therefrom may vary substantially. As required by the SEC, the estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves are based on a twelve month un-weighted first-day-of-the-month average oil and gas prices for the twelve months prior to the date of the report. Actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or lower.
Previous report
Our identified drilling locations are scheduled out over several years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling.
Previous report
Our management and outside operators have specifically identified and scheduled drilling locations as an estimation of our future multi-year drilling activities on our existing acreage. These drilling locations represent a significant part of our growth strategy. Our ability to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of uncertainties, including crude oil and natural gas prices, the availability of capital, costs, drilling results, regulatory approvals and other factors. If future drilling results in these projects do not establish sufficient reserves to achieve an economic return, we may curtail drilling in these projects. Because of these uncertainties, we do not know if the numerous potential drilling locations we have identified will ever be drilled or if we will be able to produce crude oil or natural gas from these or any other potential drilling locations.
Previous report
For example, in previous years, legislation has been proposed to eliminate or defer certain key U.S. federal income tax deductions historically available to crude oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. Such proposed changes have included: a repeal of the percentage depletion allowance for crude oil and natural gas properties; the elimination of deductions for intangible drilling and exploration and development costs; the elimination of the deduction for certain production activities; and an extension of the amortization period for certain geological and geophysical expenditures. The passage of any legislation as a result of these proposals or other similar changes in U.S. federal income tax laws that alter, eliminate or defer these or other tax deductions utilized within the industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Previous report
The oil and natural gas industry has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct certain exploration, development, production, and processing activities, including digital technologies to interpret seismic data, manage drilling rigs, production equipment and gathering systems, conduct reservoir modeling and reserves estimation, and process and record financial and operating data. At the same time, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks or unintentional events, have increased. The U.S. government has issued public warnings that indicate energy assets might be specific targets of cyber security threats. Our and our operators’ technologies, systems, networks, and those of vendors, suppliers and other business partners, may become the target of cyberattacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of business activities. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as surveillance, may remain undetected for an extended period. Our systems for protecting against cyber security risks may not be sufficient. As cyber incidents continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents.

Approximately 28% and 33% of our total estimated net proved reserves at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were undeveloped, and those reserves may not ultimately be developed.
Current wording
Approximately 19% and 28% of our total estimated net proved reserves at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, were undeveloped, and those reserves may not ultimately be developed.
Previous wording
Recovery of undeveloped reserves requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling. Our reserve data assumes that we can and will make these expenditures and conduct these operations successfully. These assumptions, however, may not prove correct. Delays in the development of our reserves, increases in costs to develop such reserves, or decreases in commodity prices will reduce the future net revenues or our estimated proved undeveloped reserves and may result in some projects becoming uneconomical. In addition, if we or the outside operators of our properties choose not to spend the capital to develop these reserves, or if we are not able to successfully develop these reserves, we will be required to write-off these reserves. Any such write-offs of our reserves could reduce our ability to borrow money and could reduce the value of our common stock.
Current wording
Recovery of undeveloped reserves requires significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Our reserve estimates assume that these expenditures will be made and that development activities will be successful; however, these assumptions may not prove correct. Delays in the development, increased development costs, lower commodity prices, capital constraints, or unsuccessful drilling results could reduce future net revenues, decrease estimated proved undeveloped reserves, or render certain projects uneconomic. If third-party operators or we do not invest the capital required to develop these reserves, or if development efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to write off such reserves. Any resulting write-offs could reduce our borrowing capacity and adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Previous wording
An increase in the differential between NYMEX and the reference or regional index price used to price our oil and gas would reduce our cash flow from operations.
Current wording
A negative differential between NYMEX and the reference or regional index price used to price our oil and gas would reduce our cash flow from operations.
Previous wording
Our oil and gas is priced in the local markets where it is produced based on local or regional supply and demand factors. The prices we receive for our oil and gas are typically lower than the relevant benchmark prices, such as The New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). The difference between the benchmark price and the price we receive is called a differential. Numerous factors may influence local pricing, such as refinery capacity, pipeline capacity and specifications, upsets in the midstream or downstream sectors of the industry, trade restrictions and governmental regulations such as policies of the Trump Administration. Additionally, insufficient pipeline capacity, lack of demand in any given operating area or other factors may cause the differential to increase in a particular area compared with other producing areas. During fiscal 2025, differentials averaged $2.79 per Bbl of oil and ($0.30) per Mcf of gas. Increases in the differential between the benchmark prices for oil and gas and the wellhead price we receive could significantly reduce our revenues and our cash flow from operations.
Current wording
Our oil and gas is priced in local markets based on regional supply and demand conditions. As a result, the prices we receive may differ from benchmark prices such as those of the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”), with the difference referred to as a differential. Differentials may be affected by a variety of factors, including refinery and pipeline capacity, pipeline specifications, midstream and downstream disruptions, trade restrictions, governmental regulations, and regional demand conditions. In addition, insufficient pipeline capacity, lack of demand, or other regional factors may cause differentials to widen in certain producing areas. During fiscal 2026, our average differentials were $2.97 per Bbl of oil and ($1.48) per Mcf of gas. Changes in these differentials could materially affect our revenues and cash flow from operations, with favorable differentials increasing realized prices and unfavorable differentials decreasing them.
Previous wording
These factors include availability of workover and drilling rigs, well blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, formations with abnormal pressures, pollution, releases of toxic gases and other environmental hazards and risks. Any of these operating hazards could result in substantial losses to us. In addition, we incur the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be encountered, and there is no assurance that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in wells drilled or re-entered.

Any of these operating hazards could result in substantial losses to us. In addition, we incur the risk that no commercially productive reservoirs will be encountered, and there is no assurance that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in wells that are drilled or re-entered.
Previous wording
We must make capital expenditures to develop our existing reserves and to acquire new reserves. Historically, we have used our cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility to fund our capital expenditures, however, lower oil and gas prices may prevent these options. Volatility in oil and gas prices, the timing of our drilling programs and drilling results will affect our cash flow from operations. Lower prices and/or lower production will also decrease revenues and cash flow, thus reducing the amount of financial resources available to meet our capital requirements, including reducing the amount available to pursue our drilling opportunities.
Current wording
We must make capital expenditures to develop our existing reserves and acquire new reserves. Historically, we have funded capital expenditures through cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facility; however, lower oil and natural gas prices or production levels may limit these funding sources. Volatility in commodity prices, the timing of drilling programs, and drilling results directly affect cash flow from operations. Lower prices or production levels would reduce revenues and cash flows, thereby limiting the financial resources available to fund capital expenditures and pursue drilling opportunities.
Previous wording
The borrowing base under our credit facility will be determined from time to time by the lender. Reductions in estimates of oil and gas reserves could result in a reduction in the borrowing base, which would reduce the amount of financial resources available under the credit facility to meet our capital requirements. Such a reduction could be the result of lower commodity prices and/or production, inability to drill or unfavorable drilling results, changes in oil and gas reserve engineering, the lender’s inability to agree to an adequate borrowing base or adverse changes in the lender’s practices regarding estimation of reserves. If cash flow from operations or our borrowing base decrease for any reason, our ability to undertake exploration and development activities could be adversely affected. As a result, our ability to replace production may be limited.
Current wording
If cash flow from operations or borrowing availability declines for any reason, our ability to undertake capital programs and replace production could be adversely affected.
Previous wording
Our business depends on oil and natural gas transportation facilities which are owned by others.
Current wording

Previous wording
The marketability of our production depends in part on the availability, proximity and capacity of natural gas gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities. Federal and state regulation of oil and gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand and general economic conditions could all affect our ability to produce and market our oil and gas.

Previous wording
We participate in the drilling and completion of wells with third-party operators that exercise exclusive control over such operations. As a participant, we rely on third-party operators to successfully operate these properties pursuant to joint operating agreements and other similar contractual arrangements. As a participant in these operations, we may not be able to maximize the value associated with these properties in the manner we believe appropriate, or at all. For example, we cannot control the success of drilling and development activities on properties operated by third-parties, which depend on a number of factors under the control of a third-party operator, including such operator’s determinations with respect to, among other things, the nature and timing of drilling and operational activities, the timing and amount of capital expenditures and the selection of suitable technology. In addition, the third-party operator’s operational expertise and financial resources and its ability to gain the approval of other participants in drilling wells will impact the timing and potential success of drilling and development activities in a manner that we are unable to control. A third-party operator’s failure to adequately perform operations, breach of the applicable agreements or failure to act in ways that are favorable to us could reduce our production and revenues, negatively impact our liquidity and cause us to spend capital in excess of our current plans, and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Current wording
We participate in the drilling and completion of wells operated by third parties that exercise exclusive control over such operations pursuant to joint operating agreements and other contractual arrangements. Accordingly, we rely on third-party operators to conduct operations and may not be able to maximize the value of these properties in the manner we believe appropriate, or at all.
Previous wording
Competition for oil and gas reserve acquisitions is significant. We may compete with major oil and gas companies, other independent oil and gas companies and individual producers and operators, some of which have financial and personnel resources substantially in excess of those available to us. As a result, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage. Our ability to acquire and develop additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties and prospects for future development activities.
Current wording
Competition for oil and gas reserve acquisitions is significant. We may compete with major oil and gas companies, other independent oil and gas companies, and individual producers and operators, some of which have substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do. As a result, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring reserves and development opportunities. Our ability to acquire and develop additional properties will depend on our ability to identify, evaluate, and acquire suitable producing properties and development prospects.
Previous wording
Our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the exploration for, and development and production of oil and gas including blowouts, fires and other casualties. We maintain insurance coverage customary for operations of a similar nature, but losses could arise from uninsured risks or in amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage.
Current wording
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas, including blowouts, fires, and other casualties. Although we maintain insurance coverage customary for similar operations, losses may result from uninsured risks or from claims that exceed our insurance coverage limits.

We depend, and will continue to depend in the foreseeable future, upon the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, Nicholas C. Taylor and our President and Chief Financial Officer, Tamala L. McComic, who have extensive experience and expertise in evaluating and analyzing producing oil and gas properties and drilling prospects, maximizing production from oil and gas properties and developing and executing acquisitions and financing. As of March 31, 2025, we do not have key-man insurance on the lives of Mr. Taylor and Ms. McComic. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of these individuals could, therefore, significantly and adversely affect our operations.
