Resources is an energy services company primarily engaged in the sale and distribution of natural gas. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Resources and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Roanoke Gas, Diversified Energy and Midstream.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present Resources' financial position as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022, cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021, and the results of its operations, comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders' equity for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021. The results of operations for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 as quarterly earnings are affected by the highly seasonal nature of the business and weather conditions generally result in greater earnings during the winter months.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed notes are presented ~~as permitted~~ under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Pursuant to those rules, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or ~~omitted, although~~omitted. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate, ~~to make the information~~ ~~not~~ ~~misleading. Therefore,~~ the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021. The September 30, 2021 consolidated balance sheet was included in the Company’s audited financial statements included in Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In combination with ASU 2021-01, the ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for and recognizing the effects of reference rate change on financial reporting. The new guidance applies specifically to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR, or any other referenced rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The new guidance is effective for the Company through December 31, 2022. The Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Administration, the administrator for LIBOR and other inter-bank offered rates, announced that the LIBOR rates for one-day, one-month, six-month and one-year will cease publication in June 2023 and that no new financial contracts may use LIBOR after December 31, 2021. Currently, all of the Company's LIBOR based financial contracts are based on the one-month LIBOR rate. None of the holders of these financial contracts have indicated when a transition from LIBOR will occur. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate adopting this guidance until later in fiscal 2022. The new guidance could result in a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when the reference rate is changed for related contracts.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2022, the Company issued 1,350,000 shares of common stock in an equity offering resulting in net proceeds of nearly $27,000,000. The Company issued the common stock to strengthen its balance sheet by increasing its cash position and lowering its outstanding debt. The net proceeds were invested in Roanoke Gas to supplement the funding of its infrastructure improvement and replacement program and in Midstream to reduce its outstanding debt. An additional 64,803 shares of common stock have been issued during fiscal 2022 related to the DRIP, Restricted Stock, stock option exercises and ATM activity.

The Company assesses new contracts and identifies related performance obligations for promises to transfer distinct goods or services to the customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations have been satisfied. In the case of Roanoke Gas, the Company contracts with its customers for the sale and/or delivery of natural gas.

The following tables summarize revenue by customer, product and income statement classification:

Substantially all of Roanoke Gas' revenues are derived from rates authorized by the SCC through its tariffs. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that these tariff-based revenues fall within the scope of ASC 606. Tariff rates represent the transaction price. Performance obligations created under these tariff-based sales include commodity (the cost of natural gas sold to customers) and delivery (transporting natural gas through the Company’s distribution system to customers). The delivery of natural gas to customers results in the satisfaction of the Company’s respective performance obligations over time.

All customers are billed monthly based on consumption as measured by metered usage. Revenue is recognized as bills are issued for natural gas that has been delivered or transported. In addition, the Company utilizes the practical expedient that allows an entity to recognize the invoiced amount as revenue, if that amount corresponds to the value received by the customer. Since customers are billed tariff rates, there is no variable consideration in the transaction price.

Unbilled revenue is included in residential and commercial revenues in the preceding table. Natural gas consumption is estimated for the period subsequent to the last billed date and up through the last day of the month. Estimated volumes and approved tariff rates are utilized to calculate unbilled revenue. The following month, the unbilled estimate is reversed, the actual usage is billed and a new unbilled estimate is calculated. The Company obtains metered usage for industrial customers at the end of each month, thereby eliminating any unbilled consideration for these rate classes.

Other revenues primarily consist of miscellaneous fees and charges, utility-related revenues not directly billed to utility customers and billings for non-utility activities. Regarding these activities, the customer is invoiced monthly based on services provided. The Company utilizes the practical expedient allowing revenue to be recognized based on invoiced amounts. The transaction price is based on a contractually predetermined rate schedule; therefore, the transaction price represents total value to the customer and no variable price consideration exists.

ARPs, which fall outside the scope of ASC 606, are SCC approved mechanisms that allow for the adjustment of revenues for certain broad, external factors, or for additional billings if the entity achieves certain performance targets. The Company's ARPs include its WNA, which adjusts revenues for the effects of weather temperature variations as compared to the 30-year average, and the SAVE Plan over/under collection mechanism, which adjusts revenues for the differences between SAVE Plan revenues billed to customers and the revenue earned, as calculated based on the timing and extent of infrastructure replacement completed during the period. These amounts are ultimately collected from, or returned to, customers through future rate changes as approved by the SCC.

Accounts receivable, as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, includes both billed and unbilled customer revenues, as well as amounts that are not related to customers. The balances of customer receivables are provided below:

The Company had no significant contract assets or liabilities during the period. Furthermore, the Company did not incur any significant costs to obtain contracts.

~~Resources'~~The effective tax rate is lower than the combined statutory state and federal corporate tax rate due to the flowback of excess deferred income taxes and the amortization of tax credits from the regulated operations of Roanoke Gas in addition to the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.

~~The Company's effective tax rate was 23.2%~~ for the three ~~months~~month and six month periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 ~~compared to 24.4% for~~reflected in the table below are higher than the corresponding ~~period~~periods in fiscal ~~2021.~~2021 and the combined federal and state statutory rate of 25.74%. The ~~decline~~increase in the effective tax rate ~~was due~~corresponds to the recognition of a deferred tax asset associated with the impairment of the Company's investment in the LLC.

Excluding the effect of the impairment, the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2022 would have been 24.0% and 23.7%, respectively, reflecting the impact of additional tax deductions from ~~the exercise of stock options and~~ the amortization of R&D tax credits deferred as a regulatory ~~liability.~~liability and the exercise of stock options. The recognition of the impairment resulted in a net loss position for both periods thereby generating a higher effective tax rate as compared to the effective tax rate on the income positions from the corresponding periods in fiscal 2021.

In April 2020, the SCC issued an order allowing regulated utilities in Virginia to defer certain incremental, prudently incurred costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and to apply for recovery at a future date. Roanoke Gas deferred certain COVID-19 related costs during the first ~~quarter~~two quarters of fiscal 2022.

In October 2021, Roanoke Gas received notification that its application for ARPA funds had been approved. This notification allowed the pending receipt of these funds to be considered in the valuation of the estimated allowance for ~~uncollectibles~~credit losses as of September 30, 2021. In November 2021, Roanoke Gas received over $850,000 in ARPA funds to assist customers with growing past due balances based on arrearage balances as of August 31, 2021. The Company applied the full amount to eligible customer accounts in December 2021.

Midstream is an approximately 1% equity investment owner of the LLC constructing the ~~MVP. Due~~MVP, a 303 mile natural gas interstate pipeline from northern West Virginia to southern Virginia. Since inception, the MVP has encountered various legal and regulatory ~~delays,~~issues that continue to delay the ~~LLC changed its approach in seeking authorization to cross all remaining streams and wetlands on~~completion of the ~~project route.

While under construction, AFUDC has provided the ~~U.S. Army Corps~~majority of ~~Engineers to cross certain streams and wetlands utilizing open cut techniques and has applied to amend~~ the ~~MVP project's CPCN to seek FERC authority to cross certain streams and wetlands utilizing alternative trenchless construction methods. See Note~~ 15 ~~for additional information regarding Midstream's investment in the LLC.~~

~~The LLC temporarily suspended accruing AFUDC on the project beginning~~ ~~January 1, 2021~~ ~~and through~~ ~~March 31, 2021~~ ~~due to a temporary reduction in growth construction activities. Beginning~~ ~~April 1, 2021,~~ ~~the LLC resumed accruing a limited amount of AFUDC associated with certain growth construction activities resuming through~~ ~~October 2021.~~ income recognized by Midstream.

Roanoke Gas recognized $55,981 of AFUDC associated with these gate stations during the fiscal quarter ended ~~December 31, 2020.~~resume.

Midstream is also a less than 1% investor in ~~the MVP~~ Southgate, ~~project,~~ which is being accounted for under the cost method.

On January 25, 2022, the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded on specific issues certain permits issued by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to the LLC in respect of the Jefferson National Forest. On February 3, 2022, the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded on specific issues the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for MVP. Primarily due to these unfavorable decisions by the Fourth Circuit, Midstream identified as an indicator of an other-than-temporary decline in value the increased uncertainty of the completion and commercial operation of MVP and Southgate. As a result, Midstream assessed the value of its investment in the LLC as of February 22, 2022 and March 31, 2022, to determine if its investment's carrying value exceeded the fair value.

Midstream estimated the fair value of its investment in the LLC, with the assistance of a valuation specialist, using an income based approach that primarily considered probability-weighted scenarios of discounted future cash flows based on the estimated project costs at completion and projected revenues. These scenarios reflected assumptions and judgments regarding the ultimate outcome of further matters relating to, or resulting from, the January and February 2022 Fourth Circuit rulings, as well as various other ongoing legal and regulatory matters affecting MVP and Southgate. Such assumptions and judgments also included certain additional potential delays and related cost increases that could result from unfavorable decisions on these proceedings and matters. Midstream’s analysis also took into account, among other things, probability weighted growth expectations from additional compression expansion opportunities. This analysis also considered scenarios under which ongoing or new legal and regulatory matters further delay the completion and increase the total costs of the project; all required legal and regulatory approvals and authorizations and certain compression expansion opportunities are realized; and MVP and Southgate are canceled. As a result of the assessment, Midstream recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $39.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The fair value of the investment in the LLC was determined under a Level 3 measurement considering the significant assumptions and judgments required in estimating the fair value of the Company's investment in the LLC. Investment balances of MVP and Southgate, as of March 31, 2022, are reflected in the table below.

There is risk that Midstream’s equity investment in the LLC may be further impaired in the future. There are ongoing, and potential future legal and regulatory matters related to MVP, any of which could affect the ability to complete or operate the project, as well as legal and regulatory matters related to Southgate that must be resolved. Assumptions and estimates utilized in assessing the fair value of Midstream’s investment in the LLC may change depending on the nature or timing of resolutions to the legal and regulatory matters or based on other relevant developments. Adverse changes in circumstances relevant to the likelihood of project or expansion completion could prompt Midstream, in future assessments, to apply lower probability of project or expansion completion and such changes in assumptions or estimates, including discount rates, could have a material adverse effect on the fair value of Midstream’s investment in the LLC and potentially result in an additional impairment, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial position of Midstream and the Company as a whole.

Funding for Midstream's investments in the LLC for both ~~the~~ MVP and Southgate ~~projects~~ is being provided through two variable rate unsecured promissory notes, under a non-revolving credit agreement, maturing in December 2022, and three additional notes as detailed in Note 7.9.

The investments in the LLC are included in the accompanying financial statements as follows:

The undistributed earnings does not include the impairment of the investment in the LLC.

Summary unaudited financial statements of MVP are presented below. Southgate financial statements, which are accounted for under the cost method, are not included:

The Company’s hedging and derivative policy allows management to enter into derivatives for the purpose of managing the commodity and financial market risks of its business operations, including the price of natural gas and the cost of borrowed funds. This policy specifically prohibits the use of derivatives for speculative purposes.

The Company has 5 interest rate swaps associated with its variable rate debt as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. During fiscal 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into ~~two~~2 delayed draw variable-rate term notes in the amounts of $15 million and $10 million, with corresponding swap agreements to convert the variable interest rates into fixed rates of 2.00% and 2.49%, respectively. Proceeds of $5 million associated with the $10 million delayed draw note were ~~not~~received ~~during the current quarter;~~ on April 1, 2022; therefore, the swap associated with that note ~~currently~~ has no financial ~~impact.~~impact during the current period. Midstream has ~~two~~2 swap agreements corresponding to the $14 million and $10 million variable rate term notes. The swap agreements convert these ~~two~~2 notes into fixed rate instruments with effective interest rates of 3.24% and 3.14%, respectively. In addition, on November 1, 2021, Midstream entered into a promissory note in the amount of $8 million, with a corresponding swap agreement to convert the variable interest rate into a fixed rate of 2.443%. The swaps qualify as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income. No portion of the swaps were deemed ineffective during the periods presented.

7.8.

Short-Term Debt

On March 31, 2022, Roanoke Gas entered into an unsecured line-of-credit agreement replacing the line-of-credit agreement dated March 25, 2021. The agreement provides for a variable interest rate based upon Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.10% and multiple tier borrowing limits to accommodate seasonal borrowing demands. The Company's total available borrowing limits during the term of the line-of-credit agreement range from $21,000,000 to $33,000,000. The line-of-credit agreement will expire on March 31, 2023, unless extended. The Company anticipates being able to extend or replace the credit line upon expiration. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 0 outstanding balance under its line-of-credit agreement.

In connection with the line-of-credit, the Company also entered into the Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022, which amends the original Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2016 and all subsequent amendments. The Amendment aligns the termination date, maximum principal amount available under the line-of-credit, amends certain financial conditions required of Resources, and retains all other terms and requirements of prior credit agreements.

9.	Long-Term Debt

On November 1, 2021 Midstream entered into an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $8 million with an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 115 basis points maturing January 1, 2028. Related to this note, Midstream also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the variable rate note into a fixed rate instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.443%. The loan will convert into an installment loan with principal pay-down beginning in fiscal 2023. In addition, this note reduces the borrowing capacity defined by the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and related Promissory Notes. The total borrowing capacity declined from $41 million to $33 million effective with the new promissory note. All other terms of the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement remain unchanged. On March 31, 2022, Midstream applied $10 million from a cash infusion received from Resources to pay down a corresponding amount on the non-revolving credit facility which in turn reduced the total borrowing capacity from $33 million to $23 million.

On September 24, 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into a Loan Agreement ("Agreement") and an unsecured Delayed Draw Promissory Note in the principal amount of $10 million ("Promissory Note"). Under the provisions of the Agreement, Roanoke Gas ~~will receive a~~received the first advance of $5 million on ~~or about~~ April 1, 2022 with the remaining $5 million to be received on or about October 1, 2022. The Promissory Note has an interest rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 100 basis points and a maturity date of October 1, 2028. The proceeds from this Promissory Note will be used to finance Roanoke Gas' infrastructure enhancement and replacement projects. Also, on September 24, 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $10 million corresponding to the term and draw provisions of the Agreement, which effectively converts the variable rate Promissory Note to a fixed instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.49%.

On August 20, 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into an unsecured Delayed Draw Term Note in the principal amount of $15 million ("Term Note") with an interest rate of 1.20% above 30-day SOFR Average per annum maturing on August 20, 2026. In connection with the Term Note, Roanoke Gas also entered into the Sixth Amendment to its Credit Agreement ("Amendment"), which amends the original Credit Agreement with the corresponding bank dated March 31, 2016 and all subsequent amendments. The Amendment aligns the termination date and the maximum principal amount available under the Term Note and retains all other terms and requirements of prior credit agreements. The proceeds from this Term Note will be used to finance Roanoke Gas' infrastructure enhancement and replacement projects, as well as to refinance a portion of its existing debt. Also, on August 20, 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into an interest rate swap agreement for $15 million corresponding to the duration of the Term Note, which effectively converts the variable rate note to a fixed rate instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.00%. The Term Note funded in full on October 1, 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies

COVID-19 and the related pandemic continues to impact local, state, national and global economies. Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and inflation have supplanted quarantines and government restrictions as the primary examples of matters impacting economic conditions. Significant progress was made in distributing and administering vaccines to the public, which has allowed a return to mostly normal operating conditions. Restrictions implemented as a result of the pandemic have eased, allowing for increased business, recreational and travel activities. Natural gas consumption by the Company’s commercial customers has ~~largely~~ returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, ~~recent~~future surges in COVID-19 infections could result in the reinstatement of some or all of the restrictions previously in place. Management continues to monitor current conditions to ensure the continuation of safe and reliable service to customers and to maintain the safety of the Company's employees.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus potential dilutive common shares.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes each input to the valuation method used to measure fair value of financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis into one of the following three levels:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

1617

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1 that are either for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as required by existing guidance and the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair Value Measurements - December 31, 2021								Fair Value Measurements - March 31, 2022

Total	$	3,925,018	$	0	$	3,925,018	$	0

The fair value of the interest rate swaps are determined by using the counterparty's proprietary models and certain assumptions regarding past, present and future market conditions.

Under the asset management contract, a timing difference can exist between the payment for natural gas purchases and the actual receipt of such purchases. Payments are made based on a predetermined monthly volume with the price based on weighted average first of the month index prices corresponding to the month of the scheduled payment. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had recorded in accounts payable the estimated fair value of the liability valued at the corresponding first of month index prices for which the liability is expected to be settled.

1718

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consist of its AROs. The AROs are measured at fair value at initial recognition based on expected future cash flows required to settle the obligation.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, borrowings under line-of-credit, accounts payable (with the exception of the timing difference under the asset management contract), customer credit balances and customer deposits is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. In addition, the carrying amount of the variable rate line-of-credit is a reasonable approximation of its fair value.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are not adjusted to fair value in the financial statements:

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the fixed rate debt based on the underlying Treasury rate or other Treasury instruments with a corresponding maturity period and estimated credit spread extrapolated based on market conditions since the issuance of the debt.

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures regarding concentrations of credit risk from financial instruments. Cash equivalents are investments in high-grade, short-term securities (original maturity less than three months), placed with financially sound institutions. Accounts receivable are from a diverse group of customers including individuals and small and large companies in various industries. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021, 0 single customer accounted for more than 5% of the total accounts receivable balance. The Company maintains certain credit standards with its customers and requires a customer deposit if such evaluation warrants.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s regulated operations follow the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB ASC No. 980, Regulated Operations. The economic effects of regulation can result in a regulated company deferring costs that have been or are expected to be recovered from customers in a period different from the period in which the costs would ordinarily be charged to expense by an unregulated enterprise. When this situation occurs, costs are deferred as assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet (regulatory assets) and amortized into expense over periods when such amounts are reflected in rates. Additionally, regulators can impose liabilities upon a regulated company for amounts previously collected from customers and for current collection in rates of costs that are expected to be incurred in the future (regulatory liabilities). In the event the provisions of FASB ASC No. 980 no longer apply to any or all regulatory assets or liabilities, the Company would write off such amounts and include the effects in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in the period which FASB ASC No. 980 no longer applied.

Regulatory assets included in the Company’s accompanying balance sheets are as follows:

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements that relate to future transactions, events or expectations. In addition, Resources may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities, operational impacts and similar matters. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and information available at the time of such statements and are believed to be reasonable and are made in good faith. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the Company’s business include, but are not limited to those set forth in the following discussion and within Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Form 10-Q. All of these factors are difficult to predict and many are beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, while the Company believes its forward-looking statements to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will approximate actual experience or that the expectations derived from them will be realized. When used in the Company’s documents or news releases, the words, “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “budget,” “assume,” “indicate” or similar words or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “can,” “could” or “may” are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations only as of the date they are made. The Company assumes no duty to update these statements should expectations change or actual results differ from current expectations except as required by applicable laws and regulations.

The three-month and six-month earnings presented herein should not be considered as reflective of the Company’s consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. The total revenues and margins realized during the first ~~three~~six months reflect higher billings due to the weather sensitive nature of the natural gas business.

COVID-19

As discussed under Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, COVID-19 and the resulting pandemic continues to have a lingering impact ~~the~~on local, state, national and global economies. Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and inflation, compounded by other world events, have continued as the primary examples of matters impacting economic conditions. Significant ~~progress was made in distributing and administering vaccines to~~portions of the ~~public through December 31, 2021,~~population have been vaccinated, which has ~~allowed~~contributed to a return to mostly normal operating conditions. Most restrictions implemented as a result of the pandemic have been eased, including Virginia’s state of emergency, allowing for increased business, recreational and travel activities. Natural gas consumption by the Company’s commercial customers has ~~largely~~ returned to pre-pandemic levels. However, the easing of restrictions and the ~~existence~~evolution of variant strains of COVID-19 ~~have led~~may lead to a rise in infections nationally and throughout the Company’s service territory. Management continues to monitor current conditions to ensure the continuation of safe and reliable service to customers and to maintain the safety of the Company's employees.

~~See the Regulatory section below for information regarding the service disconnection moratorium, CARES Act and ARPA funds.~~

The ~~full~~ extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted, including the increase or reduction in governmental restrictions to businesses and individuals, the potential resurgence of the virus, including variants, as well as efficacy of the vaccines.

Overview

Resources is an energy services company primarily engaged in the regulated sale and distribution of natural gas to approximately 63,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in Roanoke, Virginia and surrounding localities through its Roanoke Gas subsidiary. ~~Roanoke Gas also provides certain unregulated services.~~ As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resources, Midstream is a more than 1% investor in ~~the~~ MVP and a less than 1% investor in Southgate.

Due primarily to decisions in January and February 2022 by the Fourth Circuit vacating and remanding certain permits necessary for the completion of MVP construction and commercial operation, and the greater uncertainty that now exists given the Court’s actions, as well as the consequent actions by project partners to impair their respective investments and revocation of the previously noted summer 2022 in-service target date, Midstream determined that its investment in the LLC experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. Accordingly, management recorded a $39.8 million write-down of the value of its investments in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the total investment in the LLC was $27 million. More information regarding the investment in ~~MVP~~the LLC is provided under the Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline section below.

The utility operations of Roanoke Gas are regulated by the SCC, which oversees the terms, conditions, and rates charged to customers for natural gas service, safety standards, extension of service and depreciation. Nearly all of the Company’s revenues, excluding equity in earnings of MVP, are derived from the sale and delivery of natural gas to Roanoke Gas customers based on rates authorized by the SCC. These rates are designed to provide the Company with the opportunity to recover its gas and non-gas expenses and to earn a reasonable rate of return for shareholders based on normal weather.

The Company is also subject to federal regulation from the Department of Transportation in regard to the construction, operation, maintenance, safety and integrity of its transmission and distribution pipelines. FERC regulates the prices for the transportation and delivery of natural gas to the Company’s distribution system and underground storage services. In addition, Roanoke Gas is subject to other regulations which are not necessarily industry specific.

As the Company’s business is seasonal in nature, volatility in winter weather and the commodity price of natural gas can impact the effectiveness of the Company’s rates in recovering its costs and providing a reasonable return for its shareholders. In order to mitigate the effect of weather variations and other factors not provided for in the Company's base rates, Roanoke Gas has certain approved rate mechanisms in place that help provide stability in earnings, adjust for volatility in the price of natural gas and provide a return on qualified infrastructure investment. These mechanisms include the SAVE Rider, WNA, ICC and PGA.

The Company’s non-gas base rates provide for the recovery of non-gas related expenses and a reasonable return to shareholders. These rates are determined based on the filing of a formal non-gas rate application with the SCC. Generally, investments related to extending service to new customers are recovered through the additional revenues generated by the non-gas base rates currently in place. The investment in replacing and upgrading existing infrastructure is generally not recoverable until a formal rate application is filed to include the additional investment, and new non-gas base rates are approved. The SAVE Rider provides the Company with a mechanism through which it recovers costs related to SAVE qualified infrastructure investments on a prospective basis, until a formal rate application is filed to incorporate these investments in non-gas base rates. The SAVE Plan and Rider were last reset effective January 2019, when the recovery of all prior SAVE Plan investment was incorporated into the current non-gas rates. Accordingly, SAVE Plan revenues increased by approximately ~~$223,000 during~~$193,000 and $416,000 for the three and six month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same ~~period~~periods last ~~year. The increases in SAVE revenues reflect~~year, reflecting the Company's ~~cumultative~~cumulative investment in qualified SAVE Plan ~~infrastructure since the SAVE Plan and Rider were last updated.~~infrastructure.

The WNA model reduces the volatility in earnings due to the variability in temperatures during the heating season. The WNA is based on the most recent 30-year temperature average and provides the Company with a level of earnings protection when weather is warmer than normal and provides its customers with price protection when weather is colder than normal. The WNA allows the Company to recover from its customers the lost margin (excluding gas costs) from the impact of weather that is warmer than normal and correspondingly requires the Company to refund the excess margin earned for weather that is colder than normal. The WNA mechanism used by the Company is based on a linear regression model that determines the value of a single heating degree day and thereby estimates the revenue adjustment based on weather variance from normal. Any billings or refunds related to the WNA are completed following each WNA year, which extends for the 12-month period from April to March. For the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company accrued approximately ~~$1,244,000~~$556,000 and $1,800,000 in additional revenues under the WNA model for weather that was ~~nearly 22%~~7% and 13% warmer than normal, respectively, compared to approximately ~~$947,000~~$249,000 and $1,196,000 in additional revenue for weather that was ~~16%~~3% and 9% warmer than normal during the ~~same period~~corresponding periods last year. The current WNA year ended on March 31, 2022 and the 12 month cumulative WNA balance will be collected from customers beginning in May 2022.

2325

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company also has an approved rate structure in place that mitigates the impact of financing costs of its natural gas inventory. Under this rate structure, Roanoke Gas recognizes revenue by applying the ICC factor, based on the Company’s weighted-average cost of capital, including interest rates on short-term and long-term debt, and the Company’s authorized return on equity, to the average cost of natural gas inventory during the period. Total ICC revenues increased by approximately ~~$51,000~~$33,000 and $84,000, respectively, for the three month ~~period~~and six month periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the corresponding ~~period~~periods last year, as rising natural gas commodity prices ~~during the summer storage refill period~~in 2021 resulted in a higher average cost of natural gas in storage. As natural gas commodity prices have experienced a significant increase during March and April 2022, the cost of natural gas in storage is expected to be higher at September 30, 2022.

The cost of natural gas is a pass-through cost and is independent of the non-gas rates of the Company. Accordingly, the Company's approved billing rates include a component designed to allow for the recovery of the cost of natural gas used by its customers. This rate component, referred to as the PGA, allows the Company to pass along to its customers increases and decreases in natural gas costs based on a quarterly filing, or more frequent if necessary, with the SCC. Once administrative approval is received, the Company adjusts the gas cost component of its rates to reflect the approved amount. As actual costs will differ from the projections used in establishing the PGA rate, the Company will either over-recover or under-recover its actual gas costs during the period. The difference between actual costs incurred and costs recovered through the application of the PGA is recorded as a regulatory asset or liability. At the end of the annual deferral period, the balance is amortized over an ensuing 12-month period as amounts are reflected in customer billings.

~~The~~Prior to January 2021, the Company has recognized significant non-cash income from equity in earnings of MVP ~~in the past~~ through recording of AFUDC. Effective January 1, 2021, the LLC suspended accruing AFUDC on the project due to a reduction in growth construction activities as it changed its approach in seeking authorization to cross all remaining streams and wetlands on the project route and dueDue to various legal and regulatory challenges, construction on the pipeline has been halted as has the recognition of AFUDC. If or when the permits are reinstated, construction on MVP could resume and ~~requirements. Beginning in April 2021, the LLC resumed accruing a limited amount of~~ AFUDC associated with certain growth construction activities through October 2021. AFUDC accruals were suspended in November 2021 for the winter season and will resume when growth construction activities restart. AFUDC accruals should continue during such growth construction activities upon their resumptionwould again be recognized until such time as MVP is placed in service. Once ~~in-service, future~~in service, cash earnings will be derived from fees charged by the LLC to transport natural gas on the pipeline.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Fourth Circuit took action to vacate certain permits required to complete the MVP, thereby creating potential uncertainty as to the timing of completion and the ultimate cost of the project. For more information, see Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline section below.

Results of Operations

The analysis on the results of operations is based on the consolidated operations of the Company, which is primarily associated with the utility segment. Additional segment analysis is provided when Midstream's investment in affiliates represents a significant component of the comparison.

The Company's operating revenues are affected by the cost of natural gas, as reflected in the consolidated income statement under the line item cost of gas - utility. The cost of natural gas, ~~is passed through to customers at cost,~~ which includes commodity price, transportation, storage, injection and withdrawal fees with any increase or decrease offset by a correlating change in revenue through the ~~PGA.~~PGA, is passed through to customers at cost. Accordingly, management believes that gross utility margin, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as utility revenues less cost of gas, is a more useful and relevant measure to analyze financial performance. The term gross utility margin is not intended to represent or replace operating income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of operating performance and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following results of operations analyses will reference gross utility margin.

Total operating revenues for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to the same period last year, increased by ~~19%~~5% due to a combination of ~~significantly higher natural gas commodity prices and pipeline and storage fees and~~ an increase in SAVE revenues, ~~partially offset by a decline in total delivered volumes. The Company experienced both rising natural gas prices over the last year~~WNA revenues and rate increases from the interstate pipelines and underground natural gas storage operators who deliver and store natural gas. The commodity price of natural gas increased by 54% per DTH, while the demand component (pipeline and storage fees) increased by 65% per DTH on lower natural gashigher transportation volume deliveries. ~~These higher costs are passed on to customers through the PGA mechanism.~~ SAVE Plan revenues increased by approximately ~~$223,000~~$193,000 due to the continuing investment in qualified SAVE infrastructure projects. ~~The~~Although the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 had ~~87, or 7%,~~4% fewer heating degree days than the same period last year, ~~which resulted in a corresponding reduction in~~ the weather sensitive residential and commercial ~~volumes.

Income tax moved from an expense of $1,607,935 to a benefit of $8,644,175 corresponding to the recognition of the impairment of the Company's investment in the LLC. The effective tax rate was 26.1% and 25.2% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the effect of the impairment, the effective tax rate would have been 24.0% compared to 25.2% for the same period last year. The reduction in the adjusted effective tax rate is attributable to the amortization of the deferred R&D tax credit associated with the tax credit study.

Total operating revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period last year, increased by 11% due to a combination of higher natural gas commodity prices and pipeline and storage fees and an increase in SAVE and WNA revenues. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company experienced both rising natural gas prices over the comparable period last year, with the average commodity price declining slightly during the second fiscal quarter and rate increases implemented in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 from the interstate pipelines and underground natural gas storage operators who deliver and store natural gas. These higher costs are passed on to customers through the PGA. SAVE Plan revenues increased by approximately $416,000 due to the continuing investment in qualified SAVE infrastructure projects. The six months ended March 31, 2022 had 5% fewer heating degree days than the same period last year, which resulted in a corresponding 2% reduction in the weather sensitive residential and commercial volumes. If adjusted for the WNA effect of the shortfall in heating degree days, the residential and commercial volumes would have been nearly 2% higher than the WNA adjusted volumes in the prior year, reflecting improved economic activity in a post-pandemic environment.

Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $498,729, or 7%, over the same period last year primarily due to higher bad debt expense, corporate insurance premiums and professional services. Bad debt expense increased by $267,000 due to higher billings related to rising natural gas prices and delinquencies. Corporate insurance premiums increased by $91,000 due to insurance market conditions. Professional services increased by $60,000 primarily related to costs related to evaluating the Company's investment in the LLC and assessing the level of impairment. Natural gas distribution system maintenance and cyber security enhancements accounted for much of the remaining increase.

General taxes increased by $33,613, or 3%, primarily due to higher property taxes related to ongoing investments in infrastructure replacement, system reinforcements and customer growth.

Depreciation expense increased by $257,696, or 6%, on a comparable increase in utility plant balances.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate decreased by $1,281,204, as no growth construction activities occurred. See Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline section below for additional information.

Impairment of unconsolidated affiliates includes the $39,822,213 other-than-temporary write down of the Company's investment in the LLC as discussed further in the Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline section below.

Other income, net increased by $49,375, or 8%, primarily due to an approximately $173,000 decrease in the non-service cost components of net periodic benefit costs partially offset by the absence of the equity portion of AFUDC on the two ~~natural gas transfer~~gate stations that will interconnect MVP with Roanoke Gas' distribution system ~~with~~and reduction in the ~~MVP.~~utilization fee. Roanoke Gas ~~temporarily~~ ceased the recognition of AFUDC on these stations effective January 2021 until such time construction ~~activites~~activities resume. The utilization fee under the revenue sharing agreement declined per the terms of the asset management agreement with Sequent Energy.

Interest expense increased by ~~$85,027,~~$181,107, or 8%9%, as the total daily average debt outstanding increased by ~~17%~~18% between ~~quarters.~~periods. The higher borrowing levels, derived from the ongoing investment in ~~MVP~~the LLC and financing expenditures in support of Roanoke Gas' capital budget, were offset by an 8% reduction in the weighted-average interest rate on the Company's debt. ~~Interest expense was also impacted by the absence of the debt portion of AFUDC related to Roanoke Gas' two gate stations during the current quarter.~~

Roanoke Gas' interest expense increased by ~~$60,533~~$104,039 primarily due to a ~~$14.8~~$16 million increase in total average debt outstanding for the period, net of a reduction in the average interest rate from ~~3.53%~~3.63% to 3.23% associated with the issuance of the $15 million note on October 1, 2021 with a ~~2.0%~~2.00% swap adjusted rate.

Excluding the effect of the impairment, the effective tax rate would have been 23.7% compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. The reduction in the adjusted effective tax rate is attributable to the amortization of the deferred R&D tax credit associated with the tax credit study ~~and amended tax filings~~ conducted in fiscal 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements of Resources are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are affected by accounting policies, estimates and assumptions that are necessary to comply with generally accepted accounting principles. Estimates used in the financial statements are derived from prior experience, statistical analysis and management judgments. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.

Under the provisions of ASC 323 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company is required to evaluate its investment in the LLC to determine if the fair value of the investments are below the carrying amount and if this decline in fair value is considered other-than-temporary. If the results of the evaluation indicate that the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, then the recognition of an impairment is required. The following events or circumstances would indicate the potential of an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of the investment in the LLC:

• a prolonged period of time that the fair value is below the investor’s carrying value;

• the current expected financial performance is significantly worse than anticipated when the investor originally invested in the investee;

• adverse regulatory action is expected to substantially reduce the investee’s product demand or profitability;

• the investee has lost significant customers or suppliers with no immediate prospects for replacement;

• the investee’s discounted or undiscounted cash flows are below the investor’s carrying amount; and

• the investee’s industry is declining and significantly lags the performance of the economy as a whole.

The determination of fair value of the Company's investment in the LLC is a significant estimate. Management has conducted quarterly evaluations of its investment in the LLC, with the assistance of a valuation specialist, to determine the fair value utilizing an income approach and probability scenarios of discounted cash flows. In conducting these evaluations, management made a variety of assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. Variations in many of these assumptions could have a significant impact on the calculation of the fair value and the resulting level of impairment recorded. Furthermore, these assumptions are based on the facts and circumstances at the date of the evaluations and are subject to change. See the Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline section for additional information regarding the LLC valuation and impairment.

There have been no other significant changes to the critical accounting policies as reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Asset Management

Roanoke Gas uses a third-party asset manager to oversee its pipeline transportation, storage rights and gas supply inventories and deliveries. In return for being able to utilize the excess capacities of the transportation and storage rights, the asset manager pays Roanoke Gas a monthly utilization fee. In accordance with an SCC order issued in 2018, a portion of the utilization fee is retained by the Company with the balance passed through to customers through reduced gas costs. The current asset manager ~~contract has been extended through~~ends on March 31, 2023.

progress including actions by the Fourth Circuit in January and February 2022.

Following a comprehensive review of all outstanding stream and wetland crossings across the approximately 300-mile MVP ~~project~~ route, on February 19, 2021, the LLC submitted (i) a joint application package to each of the Huntington, Pittsburgh and Norfolk Districts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Army Corps) that requests an individual permit from the Army Corps to cross certain streams and wetlands utilizing open cut techniques (the Army Corps Individual Permit) and (ii) an application to amend the ~~MVP project’s~~MVP's CPCN that ~~seeks~~sought FERC authority to cross certain streams and wetlands utilizing alternative trenchless construction methods. On April 8, 2022, the FERC authorized the amended CPCN.

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Related to seeking the Army Corps Individual Permit, on March 4, 2021, the LLC submitted applications to each of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) seeking Section 401 water quality certification approvals or waivers (such approvals or waivers, the State 401 Approvals). The State 401 Approvals were both issued in December 2021. In early June 2021, the FERC issued a notice of schedule for the LLC's CPCN amendment application. FERC issued its environmental assessment August 13, 2021. As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, inOn January 25, 2022, the LLC’s authorizations related to the Jefferson National Forest (JNF) received from the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service were vacated and remanded on specific issues by the Fourth Circuit. On February 3, 2022, the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded on specific issues the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement issued by the United States Department of the Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service for MVP. On May 3, 2022, the operator for MVP ~~project. The full impact of these decisions is not yet known~~announced that after evaluating legal options and consulting with the relevant federal agencies, the LLC plans to pursue new authorizations relating to the JNF and new Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement; and as a result, the operator is ~~continuing to evaluate these developments.~~targeting a full in-service date for MVP during the second half of 2023 at a target total project cost of approximately $6.6 billion (excluding AFUDC).

In addition to ~~addressing the~~timely receiving, and subsequently maintaining, new authorizations in respect of the JNF ~~as well as~~and the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement, ~~and any regulatory requirements as a result thereof,~~ the LLC must, in order to complete ~~the~~ MVP, ~~project,~~ among other things, timely receive ~~(i)~~ the Army Corps Individual Permit (as well as timely receive, as necessary, certain other state-level approvals) ~~and (ii) authorization~~, as well as any necessary extensions from ~~the~~ FERC to ~~amend the CPCN to utilize alternative trenchless construction methods for certain stream and wetland crossings.~~complete MVP. The LLC also must (i) continue to have available the orders previously issued by the FERC, which are subject to ongoing litigation, modifying its prior stop work orders and extending the LLC’s prescribed time to complete ~~the MVP project;~~MVP; and (ii) timely receive authorization from the FERC to complete construction work in the portion of the project route currently remaining subject to the FERC's previous stop work order and in the JNF. In each case, any such foregoing or other authorizations must remain in effect notwithstanding any pending or future challenge thereto. Failure to achieve any one of the above items could lead to additional delays and higher project costs.

Resources' ~~current~~ earnings from ~~the~~ MVP ~~investment~~ are primarily attributable to AFUDC income generated by the LLC. The LLC temporarily suspended the accrual of AFUDC on the project from January 1, 2021 (due to a temporary reduction in growth construction activities) through March 31, 2021. Limited growth construction activities resumed in April 2021, and the LLC began accruing AFUDC associated with those activities. ~~The~~In November 2021, the LLC suspended the accrual of AFUDC for the winter curtailment period ~~which began in November 2021, and will continue~~ until such time as growth construction activities may resume. Additionally, Roanoke Gas continues the suspension of AFUDC accruals on its two gate stations that will interconnect with ~~the~~ MVP until such time as construction activities resume on the respective gate stations.

~~Management conducted an assessment of its MVP investment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 323,~~ ~~Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures~~. This assessment included a third-party valuation. As a result of its evaluation, management has concluded that the investment is not currently impaired as of December 31, 2021. Furthermore, the LLC has conducted its own evaluation of the project under ASC 360, ~~Plant, Property and Equipment~~ and concluded that no impairment exists as of December 31, 2021. Management will continue monitoring the status of the project for circumstances that may lead to future impairment, including any significant delays or denials of necessary permits and approvals. If necessary, the amount and timing of any future impairment would be dependent on the specific circumstances at the time of evaluation.

In April 2018, the LLC announced the ~~MVP~~ Southgate project and submitted Southgate's certificate application to the FERC in November 2018. The Final Environmental Impact Statement for the project was issued on February 14, 2020. In June 2020, the FERC issued the CPCN for ~~the MVP~~ Southgate; however, the FERC, while authorizing the project, directed the Office of Energy Projects not to issue a notice to proceed with construction until necessary federal permits are received for ~~the~~ MVP ~~project~~ and the Director of the Office of Energy Projects lifts the stop work order and authorizes the LLC to continue constructing ~~the~~ MVP. On August 11, 2020, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) denied Southgate's application for a Clean Water Act Section 401 Individual Water Quality Certification and Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Authorization due to ~~timing of the MVP project's~~uncertainty surrounding MVP's completion. On March 11, 2021, the Fourth Circuit, pursuant to an appeal filed by the LLC, vacated the NCDEQ's denial and remanded the matter to the NCDEQ for additional review. On April 29, 2021, the NCDEQ reissued its denial of Southgate's application. On December 3, 2021, the Virginia State Air Pollution Control Board denied the permit for ~~the MVP Southgate project’s~~Southgate's Lambert compressor station, which decision the LLC ~~has~~initially appealed ~~(and such appeal is pending). The LLC is continuing~~before withdrawing its request to ~~evaluate these matters,~~review the denial.

Given the continually evolving regulatory and legal environment, for greenfield pipeline construction projects, as well as factors specific to MVP and Southgate, including the ~~MVP~~December 2021 compressor station state air permit denial, the LLC continues to evaluate Southgate including engaging in discussions with Dominion Energy North Carolina regarding options with respect to Southgate, including potentially refining the project's design and timing in lieu of pursuing the project as originally contemplated. Dominion Energy North Carolina's obligations under the precedent agreement in support of the original project are subject to certain conditions, including that the LLC complete construction of the project facilities by June 1, 2022, which deadline is subject to extension by virtue of previously declared events of force majeure. The project operator has announced that it is unable to predict the results of the discussions between the LLC and Dominion Energy North Carolina, including any potential modifications to the project, or ultimate undertaking or completion of the project.

Management conducted an assessment of its investment in the LLC in accordance with the provisions of ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. This assessment included a third-party valuation. As a result of its evaluation, management has concluded that the investment in the LLC sustained an other-than-temporary decline in fair value as of February 22, 2022 and recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of approximately $39.8 million in its second quarter operating results as discussed in Note 156 to the consolidated financial statements. Management re-evaluated its investment as of March 31, 2022 and concluded that its investment was fairly stated. Management will continue monitoring the status of MVP and Southgate for circumstances that may lead to future impairments, including any significant delays or denials of necessary permits and approvals. If necessary, the amount and timing of any further impairment would be dependent on the specific circumstances, including changes to probabilities of completion, and changes in the assumed future cash flows, at the time of evaluation.

Regulatory

During much of fiscal 2021, Roanoke Gas operated under a service disconnection moratorium under which the Company was prohibited from disconnecting residential customers for non-payment of their natural gas service and from assessing late payment fees; therefore, residential customers that ordinarily would have been disconnected for non-payment continued incurring charges for gas service. As a result, the Company’s arrearage balances reached historically high levels.

In December 2020, Roanoke Gas received $403,000 in CARES Act funds to assist customers with growing past due balances. The Company was able to apply the full amount to eligible customer accounts during the second and third fiscal quarters. In November 2021, Roanoke Gas received $858,556 in ARPA funds to assist customers with growing past due balances based on arrearage balances as of August 31, 2021. The Company was able to apply the full amount of these funds to customer accounts in December 2021.

In April 2020, the SCC issued an order allowing regulated utilities in Virginia to defer certain incremental, prudently incurred costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and to apply for recovery at a future date. Roanoke Gas deferred certain COVID-19 related costs during the first ~~quarter~~two quarters of fiscal 2022.

Roanoke Gas continues to recover the costs of its infrastructure replacement program through its SAVE Rider. In May 2021, the Company filed its most recent SAVE application with the SCC to update the SAVE Plan and Rider for the period October 2021 through September 2022. The updated SAVE Rider is designed to collect approximately $3.45 million in annual revenues, an increase of approximately $1.1 million from the SAVE Rider in effect during fiscal 2021. The Company received a final order on August 25, 2021, in which the SCC approved the Company’s requested revenue requirement. The Company anticipates filing an application during the third quarter with the SCC to update the SAVE Plan and Rider for the period October 2022 through September 2023 to implement new SAVE Plan rates.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Due to the capital intensive nature of the utility business, as well as the ~~related~~impact of weather ~~sensitivity,~~variability, the Company’s primary capital needs are the funding of its capital projects, investment in the ~~MVP,~~LLC, the seasonal funding of its natural gas inventories and accounts receivable and the payment of dividends. To meet these needs, the Company relies on its operating cash flows, credit availability under short-term and long-term debt agreements and proceeds from the sale of its common stock.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by ~~$233,557~~$7,913,673 and ~~$445,599~~$435,483 for the ~~three-month~~six-month periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The following table summarizes the sources and uses of cash:

Cash Flows Provided by ~~(Used in)~~ Operating Activities:

The seasonal nature of the natural gas business causes operating cash flows to fluctuate significantly during the year as well as from year to year. Several factors, including weather, energy prices, natural gas storage levels and customer collections, contribute to working capital levels and related cash flows. Generally, operating cash flows are positive during the second and third fiscal quarters as a combination of earnings, declining storage gas levels and collections on customer accounts all contribute to higher cash levels. During the first and fourth fiscal quarters, operating cash flows generally decrease due to increases in natural gas storage levels and rising customer receivable balances.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities:

Investing activities primarily consist of expenditures related to investment in Roanoke Gas' utility plant, which includes replacing aging natural gas pipe with new plastic or coated steel pipe, improvements to the LNG plant and gas distribution system facilities and expansion of its natural gas system to meet the demands of customer growth, as well as Midstream's continued investment in the ~~MVP.~~LLC. The Company is continuing its focus on SAVE infrastructure replacement projects, including the replacement of pre-1973 first generation plastic pipe and extending the natural gas distribution system to unserved developments within its existing service territory.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities:

Financing activities generally consist of borrowings and repayments under credit agreements, issuance of stock and the payment of dividends.

Related to this note, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the variable rate note into a fixed rate instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.49%. ~~The term note will fund in two installments~~Roanoke Gas received the first installment of $5 million ~~each~~ on April 1, 2022 ~~and~~with the remaining $5 million to be received on or about October 1, ~~2022, respectively.~~2022.

On August 20, 2021, Roanoke Gas entered into an unsecured Delayed Draw Term Note in the principal amount of $15 million with an interest rate of 1.20% above the 30-day SOFR Average per annum maturing on August 20, 2026. Related to this note, the Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the variable rate note into a fixed rate instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.00%. The term note funded on October 1, 2021.

On November 1, 2021 Midstream entered into an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $8 million with an interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR plus 115 basis points maturing ~~December~~January 1, ~~2027.~~2028. Related to this note, Midstream also entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the variable rate note into a fixed rate instrument with an effective annual interest rate of 2.443%. The loan will convert into an installment loan with principal pay-down beginning in fiscal 2023. In addition, this note reduces the borrowing capacity defined by the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and related Promissory Notes. The total borrowing capacity declined from $41 million to $33 million effective with the new promissory note. All other terms of the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

On March 31, 2022, Roanoke Gas entered into an unsecured line-of-credit agreement replacing the line-of-credit agreement dated March 25, 2021. The agreement provides for a variable interest rate based upon Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.10% and multiple tier borrowing limits to accommodate seasonal borrowing demands. The Company's total available borrowing limits during the term of the line-of-credit agreement range from $21 million to $33 million. Unlike the prior two year line-of-credit agreement, the current line-of-credit agreement is for one year and will expire on March 31, 2023, unless extended. The Company anticipates being able to extend or replace the credit line upon expiration. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding balance under its line-of-credit agreement.

In connection with the line-of-credit, the Company also entered into the Seventh Amendment to Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2022, which amends the original Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2016 and all subsequent amendments. The Amendment aligns the termination date, maximum principal amount available under the line-of-credit, amends certain financial conditions required of Resources, and retains all other terms and requirements of prior credit agreements. This Amendment modifies the interest coverage ratio calculation to exclude the effect of non-cash impairments on the investment in the LLC up to the total investment balance as of December 31, 2021.

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In March 2022, the Company issued 1,350,000 shares of common stock in an equity offering resulting in net proceeds of nearly $27 million. The Company issued the common stock to strengthen its balance sheet by increasing the equity component of its total capitalization ratio. The net proceeds were invested in Roanoke Gas to supplement the funding of its infrastructure improvement and replacement program and in Midstream to reduce its outstanding debt. An additional 64,803 shares of common stock have been issued during fiscal 2022 related to the DRIP, Restricted Stock, stock option exercises and ATM activity.

On March 31, 2022, Midstream applied $10 million from a cash infusion received from Resources related to the $27 million equity issue to pay down a corresponding amount on the non-revolving credit facility, which in turn further reduced the total borrowing capacity to $23 million with an outstanding balance of $19.3 million as of March 31, 2022. Currently, Midstream's credit facility matures on December 29, 2022. Management is in discussions with the lenders regarding the extension of the due date related to these notes. As of the date of this filing, no extension has been finalized.

Management regularly evaluates the Company’s liquidity through a review of its available financing resources ~~including the impact of COVID-19~~ on its cash flows. Management believes it has positioned the Company with access to sufficient financing resources to meet its cash requirements over the next year. The line-of-credit agreement will continue to provide the needed working capital and the ATM program will allow for potential supplemental equity funding as market conditions allow. Furthermore, the Company can draw funds under one of ~~its~~Roanoke Gas' two private shelf facility credit agreements or adjust ~~Roanoke Gas’~~ capital spending to reduce funding requirements if necessary.

The Company did not issue any shares through its ATM program during the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021. Management plans to utilize the ATM program going forward as market conditions allow.

~~Midstream has borrowing capacity of $33 million under its current credit facility, which matures in December 2022.~~ As of ~~December~~March 31, 2021, $28.5 million had been utilized. This credit facility will provide additional financing capacity for MVP funding; however, due to ongoing delays, additional financing will be required. For further discussion regarding Midstream's borrowing capacity, see the "Equity Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline" section above.

~~As of December 31, 2021,~~2022, Resources' long-term capitalization ratio was ~~40%~~46% equity and ~~60%~~54% debt.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

The Company has updated the following risk factor as previously disclosed in Resources' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2021 and subsequent revision on the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC.

On January 25, 2022, the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded on specific issues certain permits issued by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to the LLC in respect to the Jefferson National Forest. On February 3, 2022, the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded on specific issues the Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for ~~the MVP project. The full impact of these decisions is not yet known, including effects~~MVP. Due to the greater uncertainty of the ultimate completion and commercial operation of MVP, the in-service target of summer 2022 was withdrawn. Additionally, the Company, after assessing the fair value of its investment in the project, ~~timing~~using probability-weighted scenarios of ultimate completion and ~~costs.~~commercial operation, including discounted future cash flows, concluded that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value existed as of February 22, 2022. The resulting impairment loss was recorded in the Company’s second quarter 2022 financial statements. Future circumstances, including but not limited to significant construction delays, or further denials of necessary permits and approvals, changes in the probability of ultimate completion, changes in future cash flow assumptions or changes in the discount rate could lead to ~~future~~further and possibly full impairment of the Company's investment in the LLC.

The success of the Company's investment in the LLC is predicated on several key factors including but not limited to the ability of all investors to meet their capital calls when due, timely state and federal approvals and resolving legal challenges to same and completing the construction of the pipeline. Any significant delay, cost over-run or the failure to receive the requisite approvals on a timely basis, or at all, could have a significant effect on the Company's earnings and financial position.

Although the LLC initially received the necessary federal and state permits to construct the pipeline, progress on ~~the~~ MVP has been hindered by several legal and regulatory obstacles as the Fourth Circuit, FERC and other governmental agencies have vacated certain agency actions and issued stays, stop orders or delayed authorizations affecting portions or all of the project pending resolution of issues or concerns raised as the project has progressed. In addition to needing to address the matters referenced above regarding the Jefferson National Forest and Biological Opinion and Incidental Take Statement, other regulatory and legal matters continue to affect the project, including that the LLC is currently waiting on resolution of the remaining permits needed for the streams and wetlands crossings and FERC has not yet granted a revised authorization to complete construction work in an eight mile section off the pipeline route.project.

RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Ongoing obstacles as discussed above have in the past caused, and may (or possible future obstacles) in the future cause, delays in construction and have resulted, and may further result, in significantly higher projected costs and an extended targeted in-service date for the pipeline. These cost overruns may not be approved for recovery or be recovered through other regulatory mechanisms, and the LLC could be obligated to make delay or termination payments or be responsible for other contractual damages. The LLC could also experience the loss of tax incentives, or delayed or diminished returns, and could be required to write-off all or a portion of its investment in the project. New or extended regulatory, legislative or judicial actions or challenges could lead to additional delays and even higher costs, which could affect future returns for the LLC and materially impact Resources consolidated financial position and results of operations, including Resources ability to pay shareholder dividends at the current level or remain in compliance with credit agreement covenants. There is no guarantee that the LLC will ultimately (or timely) receive all necessary authorizations or that such authorizations will be maintained in effect following challenge, or even after MVP is placed in service.

In addition, there are numerous risks facing the LLC, which can adversely affect the Company's earnings and financial performance through its investment. The LLC's ability to retain contract crews to complete construction of the pipeline, the inability to obtain or renew ancillary licenses, rights-of-way, permits or other approvals and opposition from pipeline opponents and environmental groups could all influence the successful completion of the pipeline. Should the LLC be unable to adequately address these issues, the LLC’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected, which could materially impact the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Any failure to negotiate successful project development agreements for new facilities with third parties could have similar results.

~~RGC RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

Once in operation, the LLC’s gas infrastructure facilities are subject to many operational risks. Operational risks could result in, among other things, lost revenues due to prolonged outages, increased expenses due to monetary penalties or fines for compliance failures, liability to third parties for property and personal injury damage, a failure to perform under applicable sales agreements and associated loss of revenues from terminated agreements or liability for liquidated damages under continuing agreements. The consequences of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the LLC’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Uncertainties and risks inherent in operating and maintaining the LLC's facilities include, but are not limited to, risks associated with facility start-up operations, such as whether the facility will achieve projected operating performance on schedule and otherwise as planned. The LLC’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather. Threats of terrorism and catastrophic events resulting from terrorism, cyber-attacks, or individuals and/or groups attempting to disrupt the LLC’s business, or the businesses of third parties, may materially adversely affect the LLC’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
