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 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 June 30, 2025, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2025 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 consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
Oil and Gas Properties. The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration, and development costs are capitalized and amortized on a composite unit of production method based on proved oil and natural gas reserves. This includes any internal costs that are directly related to exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. The carrying amount of oil and gas properties also includes estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) when incurred. Sales of oil and natural gas properties, whether or not being amortized currently, are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas. This includes any sales of properties such as Term Assignments and Assignments, Bill of Sales and Conveyances. Depletion of evaluated oil and natural gas properties is computed on the units of production method, whereby capitalized costs plus estimated future development costs are amortized over total proved reserves.
In addition, capitalized costs less accumulated depletion and related deferred income taxes are not allowed to exceed an amount (the full cost ceiling) equal to the sum of: 1) the present value of estimated future net revenues discounted at ten percent computed in compliance with SEC guidelines; 2) plus the cost of properties not being amortized; 3) plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; 4) less income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties.

Investments.
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.
Segments. Based on the Company’s organizational structure, the Company has one operating segment, which is crude oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. In addition, the Company has a single, company-wide management team that allocates capital resources to maximize profitability and measures financial performance as a single enterprise.
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 ARO is included on 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 three months of fiscal 2026:
| Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2025 | $ | |||

| Accretion expense | ||||

| Less: Current portion | ||||
| Non-Current asset retirement obligation | $ |
4. 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 $
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,
No
principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date 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.
In addition, this Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without prior written permission of WTNB. The Company obtained written permission from WTNB prior to declaring the regular annual dividend on May 13, 2025, 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.

6. Leases
The
Company leases approximately
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 sheet.
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 of the renewal was

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate for the three months ended June 30 follows:

| Total income tax | ||||||||
| Effective income tax rate (1) | % | % | ||||||

Total income tax expense from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to pre-tax income primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal benefit, and the impact of permanent differences between book and taxable income.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (“OBBB”) was enacted. The OBBB is a significant piece of legislation that includes significant changes to federal tax policy, environmental funding, and energy development regulations. Key provisions relevant to the crude oil and natural gas industry include (i) tax policy changes that extend and expand components of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and (ii) the introduction of fee and royalty-related provisions aimed at reducing financial and administrative burdens on domestic energy producers. The Company is currently evaluating the full impact of the OBBB on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company”, “Mexco”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean Mexco Energy Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations and may be signified by the words “could”, “should”, “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “budget”, “plan”, “forecast”, “predict”, and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements appear throughout this Form 10-Q with respect to, among other things: profitability; planned capital expenditures; estimates of oil and gas production; future project dates; estimates of future oil and gas prices; estimates of oil and gas reserves; our future financial condition or results of operations; our business strategy and other plans; and, objectives for future operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
While we have made assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the assumptions that support our forward-looking statements are based upon information that is currently available and is subject to change. All forward-looking statements in the Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement contained in this section. We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.
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 our 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 royalty and working interests and non-operated properties in areas with significant development potential.

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:

| 2025 | 2024 | Change | ||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 1,363,277 | $ | 1,078,614 | $ | 284,663 | ||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (365,910 | ) | $ | (717,387 | ) | $ | (351,477 | ) | |||
| Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (204,600 | ) | $ | (319,996 | ) | $ | (115,396 | ) | |||
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 three months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,363,277 in comparison to $1,078,614 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase of $284,663 in our cash flow from operating activities consisted of an increase in our non-cash expenses of $21,304; a decrease in our accounts receivable of $211,775; a increase of $92,998 in our payables and accrued expenses; and, a decrease in our net income for the current quarter of $49,088. 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 three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net cash of $365,910 used for additions to oil and gas properties compared to $517,387 and a $200,000 investment in a limited liability company for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cash Flow Used in Financing Activities. Cash flow from financing activities is derived from our changes in long-term debt and in equity account balances. Net cash flow used in our financing activities was $204,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to cash flow used in our financing activities of $319,996 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we expended $204,600 to pay the regular annual dividend. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we expended $209,000 to pay the regular annual dividend, expended $188,637 to purchase 13,766 shares of our stock for the treasury account, and received proceeds of $77,641 from the exercise of employee stock options.
Accordingly, net cash increased $792,767, leaving cash and cash equivalents on hand of $2,546,722 as of June 30, 2025.
At June 30, 2025, we had working capital of $2,922,683 compared to working capital of $2,469,664 at March 31, 2025, an increase of $453,019 for the reasons set forth below.
Oil and Natural Gas Property Development
New Participations in Fiscal 2026. The Company currently plans to participate in the drilling and completion of 35 horizontal wells at an estimated cost of approximately $1,100,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Thirty-four of these wells are in the Delaware Basin located in the western portion of the Permian Basin in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico. The remaining well is in Reagan County, Texas.
In June 2025, Mexco expended approximately $116,000 to participate in the drilling of five horizontal wells in the Bone Spring formation of the Delaware Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .5%.
In June 2025, Mexco expended approximately $79,000 to drill and complete three horizontal wells in the Bone Spring formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico. Subsequently, in August 2025, these wells were completed with initial average production rates of 741 barrels of oil, 3,276 barrels of water, and 1,110 cubic feet of gas per day, or 926 BOE per day. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .3%.

In October 2022, the Company made an approximately 2% equity investment commitment in a limited liability company amounting to $2,000,000, of which $1,800,000 has been funded as of June 30, 2025. The limited liability company is capitalized at approximately $100 million to purchase mineral interests in the Utica and Marcellus areas in the state of Ohio. Subsequently, in July 2025, the Company funded the remaining $200,000 toward this investment. To date, this LLC has returned $303,164 or 15% of the total investment.
Completion of Wells Drilled in Fiscal 2025. The Company also expects to expend approximately $150,000 for the completion of 17 horizontal wells in which the Company participated during fiscal 2025.
The Company expended approximately $85,000 for the completion costs of six horizontal wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico that the Company participated in drilling during fiscal 2025. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .16%.
Two horizontal wells in the Penn Shale formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico in which the Company participated during fiscal 2025 were completed in June 2025 with initial average production rates of 676 barrels of oil, 1,899 barrels of water, and 729,000 cubic feet of gas per day, or 798 BOE per day. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is approximately .5%.
Subsequently, in July 2025, the Company expended approximately $53,000 for the completion costs of two horizontal wells in the Bone Spring Sand formation of the Delaware Basin in Lea County, New Mexico that the Company participated in drilling during fiscal 2025. Mexco’s working interest in these wells is .28%.
Acquisitions. In May 2025, the Company acquired royalty (mineral) interests in 2 wells operated by Chevron USA and located in Pecos County, Texas for a purchase price of $40,000. This acquisition was effective April 1, 2025 and includes acreage for future development.
Other Projects. We are participating in other projects and are reviewing projects in which we may participate. The cost of such projects would be funded, to the extent possible, from existing cash balances and cash flow from operations. The remainder may be funded through borrowings on the credit facility and, if appropriate, sales of non-core properties.
Pricing. Crude oil and natural gas prices 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 $53.11 per bbl in May 2025 to a high of $79.86 per bbl in July 2024. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.21 per MMBtu in November 2024 to a high of $9.86 per MMBtu in January 2025.
On June 30, 2025, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $61.09 and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $3.26 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations below for realized prices. Pipeline capacity constraints and maintenance in the Permian Basin area has contributed to a wider difference between the WaHa Hub and the Henry Hub and at times prices were negative.
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 June 30, 2025:
| Payments due in: | ||||||||||||||||
| Total | less than 1 year | 1 - 3 years | over 3 years | |||||||||||||
| Contractual obligations: | ||||||||||||||||
| Leases (1) | $ | 125,667 | $ | 60,320 | $ | 65,347 | $ | - | ||||||||
| (1) | The lease amount represents the monthly rent amount for our principal office space in Midland, Texas under a 36-month lease agreement expiring July 31, 2027. Of this total obligation for the remainder of the lease, our majority shareholder will pay $10,175 less than 1 year and $11,023 1-3 years for his portion of the shared office space. |
Results of Operations – Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2024. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net income was $241,951 compared to net income of $291,039 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily the result of an increase in operating revenues and an increase in operating expenses, which is further explained below.
| Page 14 |
Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $1,754,734 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a 4% increase from $1,688,056 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This primarily resulted from an increase in oil and gas production and an increase in gas prices partially offset by a decrease in oil prices. The following table sets forth our oil and natural gas revenues, production quantities and average prices received during the three months ended June 30:
| 2025 | 2024 | % Difference | ||||||||||
| Oil: | ||||||||||||
| Revenue | $ | 1,395,937 | $ | 1,510,304 | (7.6 | )% | ||||||
| Volume (bbls) | 22,010 | 18,909 | 16.4 | % | ||||||||

| Average Price (per mcf) | $ | 2.11 | $ | 1.30 | 62.4 | % | ||||||
Other operating revenues. Other revenues increased 49% to 59,442 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 from $39,779 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This resulted from an increase in income from one of our limited liability company investments.
Interest income. Interest income on corporate funds decreased 36% to $14,531 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 from $22,746 for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This decrease resulted from a change in our average cash balances due to using the corporate funds for property acquisitions.
Production and exploration. Production costs were $404,770 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a 7% decrease from $437,420 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily due to a decrease in lease operating expenses on wells in which we own a working interest.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense was $675,270 for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, an 25% increase from $539,697 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to an increase in oil and gas production volumes and a decrease in oil and gas reserves partially offset by a decrease in the full cost pool amortization base.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $394,437 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an 7% increase from $367,045 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This was primarily due to an increase in engineering and accounting fees.
Income taxes. Income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $103,231 compared to $106,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for state and federal taxes combined for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 30% and 27%, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The primary source of market risk for us includes 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 June 30, 2025, our largest credit risk associated with any single purchaser was $380,192 or 44% 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.
Currently, prices for natural gas have been adversely affected by temporary pipeline capacity constraints primarily in the Permian Basin.
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 $53.11 per bbl in May 2025 to a high of $79.86 per bbl in July 2024. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $1.21 per MMBtu in November 2024 to a high of $9.86 per MMBtu in January 2025. On June 30, 2025, the WTI posted price for crude oil was $61.09 and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $3.26 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations above for realized prices.
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. Oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relationship to each other. If the average oil price had increased or decreased by ten dollars per barrel for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, our oil sales would have changed by $220,100. If the average gas price had increased or decreased by one dollar per mcf for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, our natural gas sales would have increased or decreased by $169,905.
