The interim financial information and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Principles of Consolidation and Reporting. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EPM and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements for the previous year include certain reclassifications that were made to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders' equity.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include reserve quantities and estimated future cash flows associated with proved reserves, which significantly impact depletion expense and potential impairments of oil and natural gas properties, income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation and commitments and contingencies. We analyze our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. While we believe that our estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” as part of their simplification initiatives. The update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The update is effective for public company annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption is permitted. At present, the Company does not believe that adoption of this update will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 2 — ~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements~~Restructuring Charge

Separation of GARP Artificial Lift Technology Operations

~~In August~~During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, ~~the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-14, which defers the effective date~~we conducted a strategic review of ~~ASU 2014-09~~ our GARP~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~^® ~~one year,~~artificial lift technology operations and ~~would allow entities~~consummated a plan to separate and transfer these operations to a new entity controlled by the ~~option to early adopt~~inventor of the technology, our Senior Vice President of Operations, and certain former employees of the Company. We invested $108,750 in common and preferred stock of the new ~~revenue standard as~~entity, Well Lift Inc. ("WLI"). We own 17.5% of WLI and our former employees own the balance of the ~~original effective date. Issued~~common stock. Our preferred stock is convertible at our option into common stock which would result in ~~May 2014, ASU 2014-09 provided guidance~~our ownership of 42.5% of WLI, based on ~~revenue recognition~~the current capital structure of WLI. The company has no contractual exposure to losses of WLI, nor does it have any obligation or agreement to provide additional funding or support to WLI if it is needed. In connection with this transaction, three employees of the Company were terminated. We accrued a restructuring charge based on ~~contracts~~agreements with ~~customers to transfer goods or services or on contracts for~~ the ~~transfer~~employees covering salary and benefit continuation and an acceleration of ~~nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 requires that revenue recognition on contracts with customers depict the transfer~~vesting of ~~promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled~~equity awards in exchange for ~~those goods or services. For public companies, ASU 2014-09 would have been effective for fiscal years,~~release from liabilities and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard provided for either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impactother provisions including agreements not to compete. Our estimate of ~~the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements, if any.~~

~~In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2015-15, which amends presentation and disclosure requirements outlined in ASU 2015-03~~ ~~(ASC Subtopic 835-30) Interest-Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs~~ ~~by clarifying guidance for debt issuance costs~~accounting charges related to ~~line~~the personnel restructuring as of ~~credit arrangements by acknowledging the statement by SEC staff that it would not object to presentation of debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement~~December 31, 2015 is as an asset, and amortizing them ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there were any borrowings outstanding under the agreement. Issued in April 2015, ASU 2015-03 required debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. ASU 2015-03 does not change the recognition and measurement requirements for debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,follows:

Also in connection with the separation of GARP^®, the Company and ~~early adoption is permitted. The adoption~~WLI entered into an agreement under which we transferred our technology assets, including our patents and trademarks, to WLI in exchange for a perpetual royalty of ~~this new guidance will not have a material impact~~5% on all future gross revenues associated with the GARP^® technology. We reduced the carrying value of these exchanged technology assets to our estimate of their expected discounted net present value, which was $108,512. This estimate was based on the ~~Company's consolidated~~recent financial ~~statements~~results from our artificial lift technology operations and ~~disclosures.~~the current depressed state of the oil and gas industry and the potential upside cases were assigned relatively low probabilities for accounting purposes. This resulted in an impairment charge of $469,395. In addition, we transferred certain inventory and minor fixed assets to WLI which had no further use in our operations and were deemed to have negligible market or salvage value. This resulted in impairments of $92,901 to equipment inventory and $6,932 to fixed assets, respectively. These impairments total $569,228 and are included in restructuring charges for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

Note 9 — Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock Dividends and Buyback Program

Commencing in December 2013, the Board of Directors initiated a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock at a quarterly rate of $0.10 per share and subsequently adjusted this rate to $0.05 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, the Company declared ~~one~~two quarterly ~~dividend~~dividends on its common stock and paid ~~$1,629,703~~$3,268,319 to its common stockholders.

On May 12, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program covering up to $5 million of the Company's common stock. Commencing in June 2015, ~~237,162~~265,762 shares have been repurchased at an average price of $6.05 per share (totaling ~~$1,434,840)~~$1,609,008) including ~~173,790~~202,390 shares purchased during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, at an average price of ~~$5.75~~$5.80 (totaling ~~$999,731)~~$1,173,899). Under the program's terms, shares are repurchased only on the open market and in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The timing and amount of repurchases depends upon several factors, including financial resources and market and business conditions. There is no fixed termination date for this repurchase program, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Such shares are initially recorded as treasury stock, then subsequently canceled.

Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

At ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, there were 317,319 shares of the Company’s 8.5% Series A Cumulative (perpetual) Preferred Stock outstanding. The Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock cannot be converted into our common stock and there are no sinking fund or redemption rights available to the holders thereof. ~~Optional redemption can only be made by us on or after~~Effective July 1, 2014, we can redeem this preferred stock at any time for the stated liquidation value of $25.00 per share plus accrued dividends. With respect to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stockholders, but subordinate to any of our existing and future debt. Dividends on the Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock accrue and accumulate at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, payable monthly at $0.177083 per share, as, if and when declared by our Board of Directors through its Dividend Committee. We paid dividends of ~~$168,575 and $168,575~~$337,151 to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock during each of the ~~three months~~six month periods ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 and ~~2014, respectively.~~2014.

Expected Tax Treatment of Dividends

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, 100% of cash dividends on preferred stock were treated as qualified dividend income. Approximately 86% of cash dividends on common shares were treated as a return of capital to stockholders and the remainder of 14% were treated as qualified dividend income. Based on our current projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, we expect all preferred and common dividends will be treated as qualified dividend income.

Note 10 — Stock-Based Incentive Plan

Under the terms of the Evolution Petroleum Corporation Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Plan (the "Plan"), we have granted option awards to purchase common stock (the "Stock Options"), restricted common stock awards ("Restricted Stock"), contingent restricted common stock awards ("Contingent Restricted Stock") and/or unrestricted fully vested common stock, to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. The Plan authorizes the issuance of 6,500,000 shares of common stock prior to its expiration on October 24, 2017 and ~~542,529~~257,188 shares remain available for grant as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015.

Restricted Stock and Contingent Restricted Stock

Prior to August 28, 2014, all Restricted Stock grants contained a four-year vesting period based solely on service. Restricted Stock which vests based solely on service is valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and amortized over the service period.

In August 2014 and in December 2015, the Company awarded grants of both Restricted Stock and Contingent Restricted Stock as part of its long-term incentive plan. Such grants, which expire after four years if unvested, contain service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting provisions. The common shares underlying the Restricted Stock grants were

issued on the date of grant, whereas the Contingent Restricted Stock will be issued only upon the attainment of specified performance-based or market-based vesting provisions.

Performance-based grants vest upon the attainment of earnings, revenue and other operational goals and require that the recipient remain an employee of the Company ~~upon vesting.~~through the vesting date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for performance-based awards ratably over the expected vesting period based on the grant date fair value when it is deemed probable, for accounting purposes, that the performance criteria will be achieved. The expected vesting period may be deemed to be shorter than the ~~remainder of the~~ four- year term. As of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, ~~the Company does~~certain performance-based awards were not ~~consider the~~considered probable of vesting ~~of these performance-based grants to be probable~~for accounting purposes and no compensation expense has been ~~recognized.~~recognized with regard to these awards. If these awards are later determined to be probable of vesting, cumulative compensation expense would be recorded at that time and amortization would continue over the remaining expected vesting period.

Market-based awards entitle employees to vest in a fixed number of shares when the three-year trailing total return on the Company’s common stock exceeds the corresponding total returns of various quartiles of companies comprising the SIG Exploration and Production Index (NASDAQ EPX) during defined measurement periods. The fair value and expected vesting period of these awards were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the historical volatility of the Company's total return compared to the historical volatilities of the other companies in the index. ~~Fair values for these~~During the six months ended December 30, 2015, we granted market-based awards ~~ranged~~with fair values ranging from $2.93 to $5.07, all with an expected vesting period of 3.83 years, based on the various quartiles of comparative market performance. During fiscal year 2015, we had granted market-based awards with fair values ranging from $4.26 to $8.40 and with expected vesting periods of 3.30 years to 2.55 years, based on the various quartiles of comparative market performance. Compensation expense for market-based awards is recognized over the expected vesting period using the straight-line method, so long as the award holder remains an employee of the Company. Total compensation expense is based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and is independent of vesting or expiration of the awards, except for termination of service.

Unvested Restricted Stock awards at December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:



Award Type	Number of Restricted Shares	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Service-based awards	214,269	7.50
Performance-based awards	120,386	7.92

Note 11 — Derivatives

In early June 2015, the Company began using derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to oil price volatility for a substantial portion of its near-term forecasted production to achieve a more predictable level of cash flows to support the Company’s capital expenditure program and to provide better financial visibility for the payment of dividends on common stock. The costless collars the Company uses to manage risk are designed to establish floor and ceiling prices on anticipated future oil production. While the use of these derivative instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, they may also limit future

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements~~

revenues from favorable price movements. We also use swap agreements in which we exchange our exposure to floating crude spot prices for a fixed price for our production over a period of time.

The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company accounts for derivatives under the provisions of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging under which the Company records the fair value of the instruments on the balance sheet at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in income. Given cost and complexity considerations, the Company did not elect to use cash flow hedge accounting provided under ASC 815. Under cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instruments would be deferred in other comprehensive income and not recognized in earnings until the underlying hedged item impacts earnings.

These derivative instruments can result in both fair value asset and liability positions held with that counterparty, which positions are all offset to a single fair value asset or liability at the end of each reporting period. The Company nets its fair value amounts of derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty pursuant to ISDA master agreements, which provide for net settlement over the term of the contract and in the event of default or termination of the contract. The fair value of derivative instruments where the Company is in a net asset position with its counterparty as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 totaled ~~$961,988.~~$1,323,749. Refer to Note 12—Fair Value Measurement for derivative asset and derivative liability balances before offsetting.

The Company monitors the credit rating of its counterparties and believes it does not have significant credit risk. Accordingly, we do not currently require our counterparties to post collateral to support the net asset positions of our derivative instruments. As

such, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments.

Note 12 — Fair Value Measurement

Accounting guidelines for measuring fair value establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Evolution Petroleum Corporation And Consolidated Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements~~

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments. The following table summarize the location and amounts of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as presented in the consolidated balance sheets as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015. All items included in the tables below are Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy:


	September 30, 2015								December 31, 2015
Asset (Liability)	Gross Amounts Recognized			Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet			Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets		Gross Amounts Recognized		Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet		Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
Current derivative assets	$	968,673		$	(6,685	)	$	961,988	$	1,323,749	$	—	$	1,323,749
Current derivative liabilities	(6,685		)	6,685			—		—		—		—
Total	$	961,988		$	—		$	961,988	$	1,323,749	$	—	$	1,323,749

The fair values of the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are based on a third-party industry-standard pricing model that uses market data obtained from third-party sources, including quoted forward prices for oil and gas, discount rates and volatility factors. The fair values are also compared to the values provided by the counterparty for reasonableness and are adjusted for the counterparty's credit quality for derivative assets and the Company’s credit quality for derivative liabilities. To date, adjustments for credit quality have not had a material impact on the fair values.

Note 13 — Income Taxes

We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States and various combined and separate filings in several state and local jurisdictions.

Evolution Petroleum Corporation And Consolidated Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

There were no unrecognized tax benefits nor any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015. We believe we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on our tax returns and that the accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on our assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2014 for federal tax purposes and for the years ended June 30, 2011 through June 30, 2014 for state tax purposes.

Our effective tax rate ~~for any period may~~will typically differ from the statutory federal rate ~~due to (i) our~~as a result of state income ~~tax liability~~taxes, primarily in ~~Louisiana; (ii) stock-based compensation expense~~the state of Louisiana, with smaller differences related to ~~qualified incentive~~ stock ~~option awards (“ISO awards”), which creates~~based compensation and other permanent differences. Statutory percentage depletion gives rise to a permanent difference in our tax ~~difference~~rates when utilized for ~~financial reporting, as these types of awards, if certain conditions are met, are not deductible for~~state or federal income tax ~~purposes; and (iii) statutory percentage depletion, which may create a permanent tax difference for financial reporting.~~purposes.

In late September 2015, we received a $1.5 million refund payment of cash taxes paid to the State of Louisiana over a three-year period ended June 30, 2014. We also received $57,467 from the State of Louisiana for interest on the refund and recorded it as a reduction of current income tax expense. This carryback of tax losses resulted from the exercise of stock options and incentive warrants in fiscal 2014 and, accordingly, we recognized this benefit as an increase in additional paid-in capital for financial reporting purposes. This carryback utilized approximately $19.1 million of an estimated $24.2 million net loss for state tax purposes. The remaining balance of this net loss carryforward in Louisiana was utilized in the tax return for the year ended June 30, 2015.

We recognized income tax expense of ~~$1,754,969~~$2,123,858 and ~~$706,159~~$1,624,038 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with corresponding effective rates of ~~36.2%~~35% and ~~38.5%~~41%. The lower effective tax rate in 2015 resulted from a lesser amount of taxable income in the state of Louisiana.

Note 15 — Unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement

On February 29, 2012, Evolution Petroleum Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (the "Lender"). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving credit facility (the “facility”) in an amount up to $50,000,000 with availability governed by an Initial Borrowing Base of $5,000,000. A portion of the facility not in excess of $1,000,000 is available for the issuance of letters of credit.

The facility is unsecured and has a term of four years, expiring on February 29, 2016. The Company's subsidiaries guarantee the Company's obligations under the facility. The proceeds of any loans under the facility ~~are to~~may be used by the Company for the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties, as defined in the facility, the issuance of letters of credit, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Semi-annually, the borrowing base and a monthly reduction amount are re-determined from reserve reports. Requests by the Company to increase the $5,000,000 initial amount are subject to the Lender’s credit approval process, and are also limited to 25% of the value of our oil and gas properties, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Evolution Petroleum Corporation And Consolidated Subsidiaries~~

~~Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements~~

At the Company's option, borrowings under the facility bear interest at a rate of either (i) an Adjusted LIBOR rate (LIBOR rate divided by the remainder of 1 less the Lender’s Regulation D reserve requirement), or (ii) an adjusted Base Rate equal to the greater of the Lender’s prime rate or the sum of 0.50% plus the Federal Funds Rate. A maximum of three LIBOR based loans can be outstanding at any time. Allowed loan interest periods are one, two, three and six months. LIBOR interest is payable at the end of the interest period except for six-month loans for which accrued interest is payable at three months and at end of term. Base Rate interest is payable monthly. Letters of credit bear fees of 3.5% per annum rate applied to the principal amount and are due when transacted. The maximum term of letters of credit is one year.

A commitment fee of 0.50% per annum accrues on unutilized availability and is payable quarterly. The Company is responsible for certain administrative expenses of the Lender over the life of the Credit Agreement as well as $50,000 in loan costs incurred upon closing.

The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants including a requirement that the Company maintain a current ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1; a ratio of total funded Indebtedness to EBITDA of not more than 2.5 to 1, and a ratio of EBITDA to interest expense of not less than 3 to 1. The agreement specifies certain customary covenants, including restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries from pledging their assets, incurring defined Indebtedness outside of the facility other than permitted indebtedness, and it restricts certain asset sales. Payments of dividends for the Series A Preferred are only restricted by the EBITDA to interest coverage ratio, wherein such dividends are a 1X deduction from EBITDA (as opposed to a 3:1 requirement if dividends were treated as interest expense). The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lender may declare any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

As of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in an available borrowing base capacity of $5,000,000, and we are in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement. During early 2014 the Lender waived the provisions of the Credit Agreement pertaining to the past payments of cash dividends on our common stock, and the Credit Agreement was amended to permit the payment of cash dividends on common stock in the future if no borrowings are outstanding at the time of such payment.

In connection with this agreement, the Company incurred $179,468 of debt issuance costs ~~which~~that have been capitalized in Other Assets and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. The unamortized balance in debt

Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to various claims and contingencies in the normal course of business. In addition, from time to time, we receive communications from government or regulatory agencies concerning investigations or allegations of noncompliance with laws or regulations in jurisdictions in which we operate. At a minimum we disclose such matters if we believe it is reasonably possible that a future event or events will confirm a loss through impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. We accrue a loss if we believe it is probable that a future event or events will confirm a loss and we can reasonably estimate such loss and we do not accrue future legal costs related to that loss. Furthermore, we will disclose any matter that is unasserted if we consider it probable that a claim will be asserted and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable. We expense legal defense costs as they are incurred.

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary NGS Sub Corp. are defendants in a lawsuit brought by John C. McCarthy et al in the fifth District Court of Richland Parish, Louisiana in July 2011. The plaintiffs alleged, among other claims, that we fraudulently and wrongfully purchased plaintiffs’ income royalty rights in the Delhi Field Unit in the Holt-Bryant Reservoir in May 2006. The plaintiffs are seeking cancellation of the transaction and monetary damages. On March 29, 2012, the Fifth District Court dismissed the case against the Company and NGS Sub Corp. The Court found that plaintiffs had “no cause of action” under Louisiana law, assuming that the Plaintiffs’ claims were valid on their face. Plaintiffs filed an appeal and the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal, but allowed the plaintiffs to amend their petition to state a different possible cause of action. The plaintiffs amended their claim and re-filed with the district court. We subsequently filed a second motion pleading “no cause of action,” with which the district court again agreed and dismissed the plaintiffs’ case on

September 23, 2013. Plaintiffs again filed an appeal in November 2013. In October 2014, the appellate court reversed the district court. We subsequently filed for a rehearing which was denied. We filed an Application for Writ of Review in the Louisiana Supreme Court in which we asked the Supreme Court of Louisiana to reverse the appellate court and reinstate the district court judgment dismissing plaintiffs’ case. On September 1, 2015, oral arguments were heard. On October 14, 2015, the Supreme Court of Louisiana reversed the appellate court's decision and reinstated the district court's ruling granting the defendants' exception of no cause of action and dismissing the case with prejudice.

On December 13, 2013, we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Tertiaire Resources Company and NGS Sub. Corp., filed a lawsuit in the 133^rd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, against Denbury Onshore, LLC (“Denbury”) alleging breaches of certain 2006 agreements between the parties regarding the Delhi field in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The specific allegations include improperly charging the payout account for capital expenditures and costs of capital, failure to adhere to preferential rights to participate in acquisitions within the defined area of mutual interest, breach of the promises to assume environmental liabilities and fully indemnify us from such costs, and other breaches. We also alleged that Denbury’s gross negligence caused certain environmental damage to the unit. Specifically, we allege that Denbury failed to properly conduct CO₂ injection activities. We are seeking declaration of the validity of the 2006 agreements and recovery of damages and attorneys’ fees. Denbury subsequently filed counterclaims, including the assertion that we owe Denbury additional revenue interests pursuant to the 2006 agreements and that our transfers of the reversionary interests from our wholly owned subsidiary to our parent corporation and subsequently to another wholly-owned subsidiary were not timely noticed to Denbury. The Company disagrees with, and is vigorously defending against, Denbury's counterclaims. In March 2015, we amended and expanded our claims in this matter. This matter is set for trial in April 2016.

On December 3, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, NGS Sub Corp., was served with a lawsuit filed in the 8th Judicial District Court of Winn Parish, Louisiana by Cecil M. Brooks and Brandon Hawkins, residents of Louisiana, alleging that in 2006 a former subsidiary of NGS Sub Corp. improperly disposed of water from an off-lease well into a well located on the plaintiffs’ lands in Winn Parish. The plaintiffs requested monetary damages and other relief. NGS Sub Corp. divested its ownership of the property in question along with its ownership of the subsidiary in 2008 to a third party. The district court granted our exception of no right of action and dismissed certain claims against NGS Sub Corp. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended petition naming NGS Sub Corp. and the Company as defendants. NGS Sub Corp. and the Company have denied the plaintiffs’ ~~claims~~claims.

~~Current quarter revenues were $7.4 million, an 84% increase from the year-ago quarter and an 19% decrease from the prior quarter.~~ The increase from the year-ago quarter was due to net revenues associated with the reversion of our working interest ownership in the Delhi field effective November 1, 2014, and 12% higher gross field production, offset by significantly lower realized oil prices. The decrease from prior quarter is due primarily to lower realized oil prices offset by a 2% increase in Delhi production.

Delhi average realized crude oil prices received in Q1-16 decreased 53% to approximately $47 per barrel from approximately $99 per barrel in the year-ago quarter, and decreased 21% from approximately $59 per barrel in the prior quarter. Delhi oil pricing is based on Louisiana Light Sweet index, which continues to be generally valued at a premium compared to West Texas Intermediate, although that premium has declined with the overall drop in oil prices.


•	Delhi lifting costs were $13.44 per barrel, an 18% decrease from $16.37 in the prior quarter, due to lower field ~~operating~~ costs, ~~fell 10% to approximately $16 per BOE, primarily impacted by~~ lower price of CO₂ ~~costs.~~and reduced volumes of CO₂ purchased for the field.


•	We successfully completed the separation and transfer of our GARP^® artificial lift technology operations, resulting in a one-time personnel restructuring charge of $0.7 million and a non-cash impairment charge of $0.6 million. The recurring annual overhead cost savings to the Company are estimated to be approximately $1.0 million per year.

We distributed $1.8 million of cash dividends to our common and preferred stockholders during the current quarter and returned $1.0 million of cash to shareholders for 173,790 shares repurchased under our common stock buyback program. Despite these distributions, our net working capital position increased by $1.9 million from $14.4 million to $16.3 million at September 30, 2015.

Subsequent to quarter end, we entered into fixed-price swap agreements covering 1,100 barrels of oil per day (approximately two-thirds of our estimated production) for the three month period ending March 31, 2016. ~~These derivatives allows us to receive the WTI equivalent of $51.45 per barrel for approximately two-thirds of our anticipated oil production.~~

Full Cost Pool Ceiling Test and Proved Undeveloped Reserves

~~Sustained lower commodity prices are impacting our full cost ceiling test calculation for the current quarter and will impact tests over the remainder of fiscal 2016.~~ For the ~~current~~ quarter ended December 31, 2015, our capitalized costs ~~are~~of oil and gas properties were well below the full cost valuation ceiling and we do not currently expect that ~~projected~~a write-down of capitalized oil and gas property costs will ~~also~~ be ~~under ceilings for~~required in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2016. However, lower oil prices reduced the excess, or cushion, of our valuation ceiling over our capitalized costs in the current quarter and may adversely impact our ceiling tests in future quarters. We cannot give assurance that a write-down of capitalized oil and gas properties will not be required in the future. Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, net of accumulated DD&A and related deferred taxes, are limited to the estimated future net cash flows from ~~estimated~~ proved oil and gas reserves, ~~including the effects of cash flow hedges in place,~~ discounted at 10%, plus the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, as adjusted for related income tax effects ~~(i.e. the~~(the valuation “ceiling”).

Delhi Field - Enhanced Oil Recovery Project

Gross production at Delhi in the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal 2016 averaged ~~6,423~~6,810 BOPD, aan increase of ~~12%~~16% from the year-ago quarter, and a 2%6% increase from the prior quarter. Net production averaged ~~1,698~~1,801 BOPD, a ~~300%~~52% increase from the year-ago quarter, ~~primarily due to~~and a 6% increase from prior quarter. The large year-over-year increase in net production volumes was the result of an increase in both gross production volumes and the reversion of our 23.9% working interest ~~and~~in the Delhi field on November 1, 2014, which means we did not realize a ~~slight increase from prior quarter.~~full quarter of production associated with our reversionary working interest in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Field operating expenses were $13.44 per barrel, an 18% reduction from levels in the prior quarter, resulting primarily from lower purchased CO₂ costs. In the quarter ending ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, our net share of the ~~joint interest billed~~ lease operating expenses was approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.2 million, of which ~~$1.4~~$1.0 million is related to CO₂ purchases and transportation expenses. Under our contract with the operator, purchased CO₂ is priced at 1% of the oil price in the field per thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) plus sales taxes of

Despite lower purchased CO₂ volumes, the overall oil production has been ~~flat or slightly~~ increasing over the past few quarters. On a total BOE basis, average CO₂ costs were down ~~24%~~31% from ~~$11.68~~$8.89 per BOE in the prior quarter to ~~$8.89~~$6.14 per BOE, ~~primarily due to 6%~~as the result of lower CO₂ volumes purchased and lower realized oil ~~prices in the current quarter.~~prices. Our purchased CO₂costs are ~~directly~~substantially correlated with realized oil prices. In other areas of lease operating expenses, the operator has reported lower workover costs, lower power costs, rates and usage, and lower third-party contractor and vendor expenses over the past two quarters, which have improved operating margins and partially mitigates lower revenues due to extended low oil prices.

~~The plans~~Based on recent discussions with the operator, the fabrication, construction and ~~purchases for construction~~installation of the NGL plant are continuing and ~~we continue to anticipate startup~~completion is anticipated in the ~~summer~~fourth quarter of calendar 2016. The plant has a total estimated cost of $24.6 million net to the Company, of which approximately ~~$6.6~~$9.4 million had been incurred as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015. The pace of spending on the NGL plant has been slower than originally projected by the operator, as they have been focused on making the best decisions on design and selection of contractors and have attempted to reduce costs in this current low pricing environment for materials and services required for the plant. Consequently, we believe that our ultimate net costs for the project may be below our initial commitment, however this will not be known until the project is completed. The June 30, 2015 reserves report includes projected peak gross proved production volumes of approximately 1,850 barrels of liquids per day from the NGL plant over the next five years, and peak gross probable volumes of 1,140 barrels of liquids per day later next decade. ~~As previously discussed, the~~The methane ~~produced from~~removed by the plant will be ~~used~~utilized to ~~generate electricity and other~~supply power ~~requirements~~ for the ~~field, which will substantially~~NGL plant and reduce ~~operating costs.~~electricity costs for the recycling facility. The NGL plant is also expected to increase the sweep efficiency and recovery of the CO₂ flood, ~~and~~therefore the reserves report reflects incremental gross crude oil production volumes of ~~about~~approximately 500 BOPD once the plant is operational.

We have received a $1.1 million credit (net to us) on our joint interest billing, representing our proportionate share of an insurance reimbursement payment resulting from the June 2013 fluid release event in Delhi field. The operator has stated their belief that their insurance policies entitled them reimbursement of between approximately one-third and two-thirds of the total remediation costs. To date, we believe that they have recovered less than one quarter of the total remediation costs. They have filed suit to pursue further insurance reimbursements, the outcome of which cannot be predicted.

We invested $108,750 in common and preferred stock and retained a minority interest in the new entity, together with a 5% royalty on all future gross revenues derived from the technology. We have the option to convert our preferred stock investment into a larger, non-controlling equity stake in the new entity. Consequently, we have ~~completed these new installations~~retained substantial upside for ~~large operators~~our shareholders from the potential future success of the technology, while eliminating our overhead and operating commitments associated with GARP^®.

This transaction resulted in a one-time personnel restructuring charge of $0.7 million, along with non-cash asset impairments of approximately $0.6 million.

Capital Budget

Delhi Field

With the operator's determination that reversion of our 23.9% working interest and 19.0% net revenue interest in Delhi occurred effective November 1, 2014, we began funding our share of capital expenditures in the field as of that date. From reversion through June 30, 2015, our net share of capital expenditures was approximately $10.4 million, including $5.0 million for the gas processing plant. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, we incurred ~~$2.6~~$6.3 million of capital expenditures, which includes ~~$1.6~~$4.4 million for the ~~gas processing~~NGL recovery plant, ~~$0.4~~$0.8 million for enhancing well bore integrity, ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million for ~~road reconstruction and~~ general maintenance capital within the ~~Unit.~~field and $0.1 million of leasehold costs.

In addition, there will likely be other spending on unbudgeted capital projects for maintenance or production enhancement during the current fiscal year, which we do not expect to have a material effect on our financial position.

We invested $108,750 in common and preferred stock and retained a minority interest in the new entity, together with a 5% royalty on all future gross revenues derived from the technology. We have the option to convert our preferred stock investment into a larger, non-controlling equity stake in the new entity. Consequently, we have retained substantial upside for our shareholders from the potential future success of the technology, while eliminating our overhead and operating commitments associated with GARP^®. We have also retained the right to use the technology in our current wells and any future wells we develop or acquire.

Liquidity Outlook

Funding for our anticipated capital expenditures during this fiscal year is expected to be met from cash flows from operations and current working capital. We expect to remain debt free under our current operating plans, but we have access to a $5.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. This facility is intended primarily to provide a standby source of liquidity to meet future capital expenditures at Delhi or other future capital needs. We are currently seeking to renew the unsecured revolving line of credit or a similar source of bank financing.

Our liquidity is highly dependent on the realized prices we receive for the oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids we produce. Commodity prices are market driven and historically volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. In June 2015, the Company began using derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to oil price volatility for approximately two-thirds of its forecasted production from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 to achieve a more predictable level of cash flows to support the Company’s capital expenditure ~~program.~~and dividend programs. Costless collars used by the Company to manage risk are designed to establish floor and ceiling prices on a part of anticipated future oil production. In October 2015, to reduce exposure

~~establish floor and ceiling prices on anticipated future oil production. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, to reduce exposure~~ to oil price volatility for approximately two-thirds of forecasted production from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2016, we acquired a series of swaps, which provide ~~equivalent~~a fixed price consisting of identical floor and ceiling prices. While the use of these derivative instruments limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, they may also limit future revenues from favorable price movements. Our future revenues, cash flow, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth are significantly impacted by the prices we receive for our production. Liquidity could also be affected by any litigation outcome, positive or negative.

Funding for our anticipated capital expenditures over the next two fiscal years is expected to be met from cash flows from operations and current working capital. Our preference is to remain debt free under our current operating plans, but we have access to a $5.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit. This facility is intended primarily to provide a standby source of liquidity to meet future capital expenditures at Delhi or other future capital needs. As this facility expires February 29, 2016, we are currently seeking to renew the unsecured revolving line of credit or a similar source of bank financing.

The Board of Directors and management instituted a cash dividend on our common stock in December 2013 at an initial quarterly rate of $0.10 per common share. However, as a result of the decline in oil prices which began in the fall of 2014, combined with the anticipated $24.6 million cost of building and installing the Delhi NGL gas plant during calendar years 2015 and 2016, the ~~Dividend Committee and the~~ Board of Directors ~~believed~~concluded it was prudent to adjust the quarterly dividend rate from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share, effective with the quarter ~~ending~~ended March 31, 2015. The reduction in the dividend rate allows the Company to conserve cash for additional financial flexibility while continuing to reward shareholders with a yield. In addition, in May 2015, we established a stock repurchase plan to allow us acquire up to $5.0 million of our common stock over time. The actual timing and amount of repurchases will depend upon several factors, including financial resources and market conditions. There is no fixed termination date for the repurchase program, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Payment of free cash flow in excess of our operating and capital requirements through cash dividends and repurchases of our common stock remains a priority of our financial strategy, and it is our long term goal to increase our dividends over time as appropriate.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. For the three months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, we generated net income to common shareholders of ~~$2.9~~$0.7 million, or ~~$0.09~~$0.02 per diluted share, on total revenues of ~~$7.4~~$6.6 million. This compares to a net income of ~~$1.0~~$1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, on total revenues of ~~$4.0~~$7.7 million for the year-ago quarter. The ~~$2.0~~$0.4 million earnings ~~increase is primarily due to~~decrease resulted from a ~~$3.4 million increase in revenue, a $2.0 million gain on derivatives and an~~ $1.1 million ~~insurance recovery,~~revenue decline and $1.5 million of higher operating expenses (which included a $1.3 million non-recurring restructuring charge), partially offset by ~~$2.3~~$1.7 million of ~~higher production costs, increased DD&A~~derivative gains and $0.5 million of ~~$0.8 million and higher~~lower income ~~taxes of $1.1 million. The components of net income are explained in greater detail below.~~taxes.

Delhi Field. Revenues ~~increased 89%~~decreased 14% to ~~$7.3~~$6.6 million as a result of a ~~300%~~43% decline in realized crude oil prices from $70.01 per barrel to $39.59 per barrel.

Gross production of ~~6,423~~6,810 BOPD was ~~12%~~16% higher ~~than~~ compared to the year-ago quarter ~~principally due to~~as a ~~replacement~~result of ~~one producing well.~~production enhancement and conformance operations in the field. Production costs for the current quarter were ~~$2.6~~$2.2 million, of which ~~$1.4~~$1.0 million was for CO₂ ~~purchases and transportation expenses,~~costs, compared to ~~no production~~$2.8 million, of which $1.7 million was for CO₂ costs, in the year-ago ~~quarter as those revenues were derived solely from our mineral and overriding royalty interests, which bore no operating expenses.~~quarter. Under our contract with the operator, purchased CO₂ is priced at 1% of the oil price in the field per Mcf plus sales taxes at 8% plus $0.20 per Mcf transportation costs. For the current quarter, ~~total~~ production costs were ~~$22.74~~$13.44 per BOE on total production volumes. Production costs were $18.67 per BOE calculated solely on our working interest volumes, which includes $8.53 per working interest ~~BOE, which includes $12.35 per~~ BOE for CO₂~~purchase~~ costs. These latter production costs per BOE exclude production volumes from our royalty interests in the Delhi field, which bear no production costs, and are therefore higher than the rates per BOE on our total production volumes.

Artificial Lift Technology. Revenues ~~decreased 28% from $116,000 in~~of $0.1 million were virtually flat compared to the year-ago ~~quarter to $83,000~~quarter. An increase in ~~the current quarter due to an $82,000 decrease in~~service revenue was offset by decreased revenue from ~~the Company-operated GARP~~^® ~~wells partly offset by $49,000 of higher service revenues. The decrease in our Company-owned GARP~~^® ~~wells was due~~operated wells. Production volumes declined 81% to ~~lower production at thePhilip DL #1, which was shut-in in the prior quarter,~~265 BOE and the ~~Selected Lands #2,~~ ~~together with a 23% decrease in the realized~~ price per BOE ~~from $49.98~~decreased 26% to ~~$38.35 BOE. In the current quarter, we recorded $51,839 of service fee revenue for a GARP~~^® ~~installation at a third-party customer's Permian Basin well. Other installations at third party~~$32.42. Production costs decreased by approximately $0.1 million, as workover expenses on our operated wells have not contributed meaningful net profits to the Company in the current quarter due to low commodity prices, poor netback contracts for gas processing and higher workover costs. Artificial lift production costs were ~~$60,000 for the current quarter, a 70% decrease from $197,000 for~~lower than the year-ago ~~quarter, which included $149,000 for workovers on the~~ ~~Philip DL #1 and Selected Lands #2.~~

~~Other Properties. We have divested all of our non-core oil and gas properties, therefore, there are no revenues to report in the current~~ quarter. The prior year-ago quarter had slight revenue of $20,369 reflecting our Mississippi Lime property interest which was sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The production costs from the year-ago quarter were high as a result of high water production in our Mississippi Lime property interest.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). G&A expenses increased ~~$0.2~~$0.5 million, or ~~12%~~28%, to ~~$1.7~~$2.1 million for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 from the year-ago quarter, principally ~~due to~~as a result of $0.6 million of higher ~~legal expense impacted by increased~~ litigation costs, ~~and the write-off~~partially offset by $0.1 million of ~~deferred loan costs of $50,414.~~lower accruals for short-term incentive compensation. Total litigation costs for the quarter were approximately ~~$306,000.~~$0.7 million.

Restructuring charge. We recognized a $1.3 million restructuring charge in the current quarter related to the separation of our GARP® artificial lift technology operations. Approximately $0.6 million of the charge resulted from impairments of assets used in those operations and $0.7 million was associated with accrued personnel termination costs to be paid from January 2016 through June 2017. Such termination costs also include approximately $0.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expense from the accelerated vesting of restricted stock. As a result of the restructuring, future annual overhead cost savings are estimated to be approximately $1.0 million per year.

Other Income and Expenses. The Company realized gains of ~~$0.9~~$1.3 million from derivatives that settled during the quarter and ~~$1.0~~$0.4 million ~~for~~from the net change in unsettled ~~derivatives quarter-end~~derivative positions. ~~In addition, from our Delhi field working interest, we received an $1.1 million insurance recovery related to the pre-reversion June 2013 environmental event.~~

Depletion & Amortization Expense (“DD&A”). DD&A increased ~~$0.8~~$0.6 million, or ~~230%~~60%, to ~~$1.2~~$1.5 million for the current quarter compared to ~~$0.4~~$0.9 million for the year-ago ~~quarter. Virtually all~~quarter, primarily as a result of ~~this~~$0.6 million of higher amortization of the full cost pool. Production volumes increased 50% to 165,919 BOE and the amortization rate increased 19% to $7.56 per BOE. Compared to the year-ago quarter, the increased amortization rate was impacted by increased future development costs in the June 30, 2015 reserves report for the Delhi NGL plant, a portion of which costs were previously expected to be borne by the third party operator of the plant and decreases in reserves from the loss of the Philip DL #1 late in fiscal 2015 and from the decision to use produced methane at Delhi internally to generate power thereby lowering field operating costs rather than selling the methane to third party customers.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, we generated net income to common shareholders of $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on total revenues of $14.0 million. This compares to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, on total revenues of $11.7 million for the year-ago period. The $1.5 million earnings increase resulted from $2.3 million of higher revenue, $3.5 million of derivative gains, and $1.1 million from an insurance recovery, partially offset by $4.9 million of higher operating expenses (which include a $1.3 million non-recurring restructuring charge) and $0.5 million of higher income taxes.

Delhi Field. Revenues increased 20% to $13.9 million as a result of a 117% increase in production volumes from the year-ago period, partially offset by a 45% decline in realized crude oil prices from $77.64 per barrel to $43.04 per barrel. The year-ago period did not include a full six months of net production, revenues or production costs as reversion of our working interest did not occur until November 1, 2014. Gross production of 6,616 BOPD was 14% higher compared to the year-ago period as a result of production enhancement and conformance operations in the field. Production costs for the current period were $4.8 million, of which $2.4 million was for CO₂ costs, compared to $2.8 million, of which $1.7 million was for CO₂ costs, in the year-ago period. Under our contract with the operator, purchased CO₂is ~~due~~priced at 1% of the oil price in the field per Mcf plus sales tax at 8% plus $0.20 per Mcf transportation costs. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, production costs were $14.86 per BOE on total production volumes. Production costs were $20.64 per BOE calculated solely on our working interest volumes, which includes $10.38 per working interest BOE for CO₂costs. These latter production costs per BOE exclude production volumes from our royalty interests in the Delhi field, which bear no production costs, and are therefore higher than the rates per BOE on our total production volumes.

Artificial Lift Technology. Revenues declined 18% to $0.1 million as a result of significantly lower revenue on our operated wells, offset by $0.1 million of higher GARP® service revenue. Production volumes decreased 70% to 1,078 BOE and the price per BOE decreased from $47.68 in the prior period to $36.89. Production costs declined by $0.3 million to $0.1 million, compared to $0.4 million in the prior period, primarily as a result of lower workover expenses on our operated wells.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”). G&A expenses increased $0.6 million, or 20% to $3.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 from the year-ago period, principally as a result of an $0.8 million increase in litigation costs and a $0.1 million increase in salaries and payroll benefits, partially offset by $0.3 million of lower accruals for short-term incentive compensation. Total litigation costs for the period were approximately $1.0 million.

Restructuring charge. Effective December 31, 2015, we recognized a $1.3 million restructuring charge related to the separation of our GARP^® artificial lift technology operations. Approximately $0.6 million of the charge consists of the impairment of assets used in that operation and $0.7 million was associated with accrued personnel termination costs to be paid from January 2016 through June 2017. Such termination costs also include approximately $0.1 million of non-cash stock compensation expense from the accelerated vesting of restricted stock. As a result of the restructuring, future annual overhead cost savings are estimated to be approximately $1.0 million per year.

Other Income and Expenses. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company realized gains of $2.2 million from derivatives that settled derivatives, $1.4 million for unsettled derivatives and $1.1 million from an insurance recovery at the Delhi field.

Depletion & Amortization Expense (“DD&A”). DD&A increased $1.4 million, or 109% to $2.7 million for the current period compared to $1.3 million for the year-ago period as a result of $1.5 million of higher amortization of the full cost pool, ~~amortization which~~partially offset by lower depreciation on artificial lift technology equipment, miscellaneous fixed assets and other assets. From the year-ago period production volumes increased ~~357%~~112% to ~~$1.2 million. This increase is due to volumes increasing 277% to 157,049~~322,968 BOE and ~~a 21% increase in~~ the amortization rate ~~from $6.25 in the year-ago quarter~~increased 20% to ~~$7.57~~$7.56 per BOE. Compared to the year-ago ~~quarter,~~period, the increased amortization rate was impacted by increased future development costs in ~~addition~~the June 30, 2015 reserves report for the Delhi NGL plant, a portion of which costs were previously expected to be borne by the third party operator of the plant and decreases in reserves from the loss of ~~reserves attributable to~~ the Philip DL #1 ~~reserves were lower as natural gas proved reserves to be recovered~~late in fiscal 2015 and from the ~~recycle stream by the planned~~decision to use produced methane at Delhi ~~gas plant are now expected to be used~~internally to generate power ~~for~~thereby lowering field operating costs rather than selling the ~~Delhi field and not sold~~methane to third party customers. The offset to the lower reserves is a lower projected lease operating expense at Delhi. In addition, our future capital expenditures related to the NGL plant under construction are higher, offset by a lower operating expense of the plant, due to the working interest owners bearing all of the plant cost instead of the NGL plant contract operator bearing approximately 30% of the plant capital expenditures.

Other Economic Factors

Inflation. Although the general inflation rate in the United States, as measured by the Consumer Price Index and the Producer Price Index, has been relatively low in recent years, the oil and gas industry has experienced unusually volatile price movements in commodity prices, vendor goods and oilfield services. Prices for drilling and oilfield services, oilfield equipment, tubulars, labor, expertise and other services greatly impact our production costs and capital expenditures. During fiscal 2014, we saw modest increases in certain oil field services and materials compared to the prior fiscal year. During fiscal 2015 to date, we have not seen material changes in operating costs in wells that we operate, but operating costs in our third

Table of Contents

party operated Delhi field have declined, and we believe such declines are attributable to improved operating efficiencies and

~~Table of Contents~~

generally lower third-party contractor and vendor expenses. Product prices, operating costs and development costs may not always move in tandem.

Known Trends and Uncertainties. General worldwide economic conditions, as well as economic conditions for the oil and gas industry specifically, continue to be uncertain and volatile. Concerns over uncertain future economic growth are affecting numerous industries and companies, as well as consumers, which impact demand for crude oil and natural gas. If demand continues to decrease with a great oversupply in the future, it may continue to put downward pressure on crude oil and natural gas prices, thereby lowering our revenues, profits, cash flow and working capital going forward. In addition, our lease operating expenses and their percentage of our revenues are likely to increase due to the reversion of our back-in interest at Delhi or other additions to our working interest production that could dilute the extraordinary margins we have enjoyed from our mineral and overriding royalty interests at Delhi.

Seasonality. Our business is generally not directly seasonal, except for instances when weather conditions may adversely affect access to our properties or delivery of our petroleum products. Although we do not generally modify our production for changes in market demand, we do experience seasonality in the product prices we receive, driven by summer cooling and driving, winter heating, and extremes in seasonal weather including hurricanes that may substantially affect oil and natural gas production and imports.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements to report during the quarter ending ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Information about market risks for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015, did not change materially from the disclosures in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015.

Commodity Price Risk

Our most significant market risk is the pricing for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. We expect energy prices to remain volatile and unpredictable. If energy prices decline significantly, revenues and cash flow would significantly decline. In addition, a non-cash write-down of our oil and gas properties could be required under full cost accounting rules if future oil and gas commodity prices sustained a significant decline. Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow and raise additional capital, as, if and when needed. We use derivative instruments to manage our exposure to commodity price risk from time to time based on our assessment of such risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently have only a small exposure to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to this Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, during the quarter ended ~~September 30,~~December 31, 2015 we have determined there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors. ~~There~~In addition to those, we add the following risk factor below:

We are materially dependent upon our operator with respect to the successful operation of our principal asset, which consists of our interests the Delhi Field. A materially negative change in our operator’s financial condition could negatively affect operations in the Delhi Field, and consequently our income from the field as well as the value of our interests in the Delhi Field.

Our royalty, mineral and working interests in the Delhi Field, located in Northeast Louisiana, are currently our most significant asset. Over 99% of our revenues come from these interests and thus our current revenues are highly concentrated in this field. Any significant downturn in production or other events beyond our control which impact the Delhi field could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial results. We are not the operator of the Delhi field. It is operated by a subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. (“DNR”). Our revenues and future growth are thus heavily dependent on the success of operations which we do not control.

Further, our CO2- Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) project in the Delhi Field requires significant amounts of CO2 reserves and technical expertise, the sources of which have been nocommitted by the operator. Additional capital remains to be invested to fully develop the EOR project, further increase production and maximize the value of this asset. The operator's failure to manage these and other technical, environmental, operating, strategic, financial and logistical matters could cause ultimate enhanced recoveries from the planned CO2- EOR project to fall short of our expectations in volume and/or timing. Such occurrences could have a material ~~changes~~adverse effect on us, and our results of operations and financial condition.

Our economic success is thus materially dependent upon the Delhi Field operator's ability to: (i) deliver sufficient quantities of CO2 from its reserves in the Jackson Dome source, (ii) secure its share of capital necessary to fund development and operating commitments with respect to the ~~risk factors previously~~field and (iii) successfully manage related technical, operating, environmental, strategic and logistical risks, among other things.

During the fall of 2014, the operator initiated work on expansion of the CO2 flood in the undeveloped eastern part of the field. These operations were suspended by the end of 2014 when the operator made significant cuts in its capital budget as a result of declining oil prices. While we believe that expansion remains economic at current commodity prices, resumption of this work could be electively delayed due to prevailing oil prices and the operator’s allocation of capital for such projects, negatively impacting us.

We are aware that the DNR, which is publicly traded, has disclosed in its public SEC filings certain risks related to its current level of indebtedness and the related financial covenants. They have stated, for example, that their level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including, among others, requiring dedication of a substantial portion of DNR’s cash flow from operations to servicing their indebtedness. They noted that their ability to meet their obligations under their debt instruments will depend in part upon prevailing economic conditions and commodity prices. DNR also noted that it had deferred development spending for certain projects.

Given the current stress in the global commodity markets and oil & gas in particular, our ~~Annual Report on Form 10-K for~~operator could be materially negatively impacted, which could in turn negatively affect the ~~year ended June 30, 2015.~~operator’s ability to operate the Delhi Field as well as it’s financial commitment to the EOR project in the field and thus our interests in the Delhi Field could be materially negatively impacted.
