(Unaudited)
| Note 1.Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of CKX Lands, Inc. (“Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Except as described herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. 2017. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation, including oil and gas, timber, and surface, from general and administrative costs and expenses on the statements of income.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Subsequently, the FASB has issued updates which provide additional implementation guidance. The new guidance requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 applying the modified retrospective approach. We have completed our review of all revenue sources in scope for the new standard, and stumpage agreements are within this scope. In accordance with the new standard, the basis for determining revenue and expenses allocable to stumpage agreements (timber revenue) was not modified. There was no net cumulative effect adjustment for this change as of January 1, 2018.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), which provides guidance requiring companies to report net cash provided or used by operating, investing and financing activities and the net effect of those flows on the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents during the period. The statement of cash flows shall report that information in a manner that reconciles beginning and ending totals of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The companies shall also disclose information about the nature of the restrictions on restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018. In accordance with the new standard, no modification to our presentation for restricted cash was made.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 2017 and Form 10-Q10-Q for the quarterquarterly period ended June 30, 2017.2018.
| Note 2.Income Taxes |
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in federal and state income tax returns for the tax years that remain subject to examination, generally three3 years after filing. The Company believes that all filing positions are highly certain and that all income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon a taxing jurisdiction’s audit. Therefore, no reserve for uncertain tax positions is required. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated.
| Note 3.Company Operations |
The Company’s operations are classified into three principal operating segments that are all located in the United States: oil and gas, timber and surface. The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business units that offer income from different products all of which are derived from the Company lands.products. They are managed separately due to the unique aspects of each area.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
Lease and lower gas production. Increased mineral lease activity resultedgeophysical revenues were $4,486 in increased lease revenue. Oil2018 and gas$7,667 in 2017 amounts. These revenues are dependent on oil and gas producers’ activities, are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter.
|
|
Management believes oil and gas activity is driven by the current and forecasted commodity prices, demand for oil and gas, and upstream and downstream industry activity. Based on available public information, management believes that oil and gas activity which includes oil and gas production as well as lease rentals will continuebe comparable to be improved when compared to 20162017 annual reported amounts.
TimberDuring the first six months of 2018, the Company received $355,008 in timber revenues. In 2017, the Company received 8,966 in timber revenues. We believe the increase in revenues are downis due to our continued marketing of our timber and securing stumpage agreements over the last couple of years and dryer weather. We believe the market will continue to be challenging during 2018.
Surface revenue decreased $153,983 from 2017 revenues primarily due to no harvesting activitiesrevenue related to pipeline right of way agreements were received in 2018. As previously noted by timber companies on outstanding stumpage agreements. We believe that duemanagement, pipeline, utility and other right of ways are not unusual to heavy rains during the quarter, timber harvesting activities have not occurred. Timber revenues are dependent on timber companies’ activities,Company however, these types of revenue are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter.year.
Surface revenue increase over 2016 revenues primarily due to a pipeline right of way and an option to lease agreement. As previously noted, these types of agreements are not unusual for the Company; however, revenue from these types of agreements are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter.
Costs and Expenses
Oil and gas costs and expenses, increased by $7,795 in 2017. With the increase in revenues from oil and gas, and lease, the increased costs were expected.
Timber costs and expenses decreasedincreased by $12,555. With$29,271 in 2018 due to the decreaseincreased timbers revenue occurring in timber revenues, this decrease was expected. The remaining timber costs and expenses relate to recurring timber and timberland maintenance.the first six months of 2018.
Surface costs and expenses decreased by $13,677. This decrease is$10,345 in 2018 due to the change in how the Company obtains property management services.lower repair and maintenance cost and no legal contract review.
General and administrative costs and expenses increased by $20,618$16,076 primarily due to increased officer salaries for land disposition administration, increased transfer agent fees and public company fees, increased general and administrative expenses and decreases in legal fees related to SEC reporting increased officer salaries, and increased director fees.
Financial Condition
Current assets totaled $4,109,222$4,016,359 and total current liabilities equaled $143,735$161,556 at June 30, 2017.2018.
In the opinion of management, cash and cash equivalents, and certificates of deposit are adequate for projected operations and possible land acquisitions.
The Company declared and paid a tentwelve cents per common share dividend during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.2018. During the first quarter of each future calendar year, the Company anticipates determining if a dividend will be declared. In determining whether a dividend will be declared, the board of directors will take into account the Company’s prior fiscal year’s cash flows from operations and current economic conditions among other information deemed relevant.
Issues and Uncertainties
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of issues and uncertainties such as those discussed below, which, among others, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s financial outlook.
Revenues from oil and gas provide a significant portion of the Company’s net income and cash flows. These revenues come from wells operated by other companies which CKX Lands, Inc. owns a royalty interest. Consequently, these revenues fluctuate due to changes in oil and gas prices and changes in the operations of these other companies.
Item 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) |
The Company’s business and operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including:
Reliance upon Oil and Gas Discoveries
The Company’s most significant risk is its reliance upon others to perform exploration and development for oil and gas on its land. Future income is dependent on others finding new production on the Company’s land to replace present production as it is depleted. Oil and gas prices as well as new technology will affect the possibility of new discoveries.
Commodity Prices
Most of the Company’s operating income comes from the sale of commodities produced from its lands: oil and gas, and timber. Fluctuations in these commodity prices will directly impact net income.
Natural Disasters
The Company has approximately 10,612 net acres of timberland (pine and hardwood) in various stages of growth or age classes. A typical pine timber stand will be harvested after 30 to 35 years of growth with some thinning occurring during this time. A hardwood stand will be harvested after 45 to 50 years of growth. A natural disaster can have a material adverse effect on timber growth, reducing its value. Natural disasters could include a hurricane, tornado, high winds, heavy rains and flooding, and/or fire cause by lightning.
Item 3. | Not applicable. |
