Note 1:   Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any other periods.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses, and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions to its operations during 2021 and in 2022 to date from COVID-19, it is unable at this time to predict the impact that COVID-19 or new variants of the novel coronavirus will have on its business, financial position and operating results in future periods due to numerous uncertainties and is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash balances in seven financial institutions. At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as land, timber and property, buildings, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If events or circumstances arise that require a long-lived asset to be tested for potential impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Fair value may be determined through various valuation techniques including quoted market prices, third-party independent appraisals and discounted cash flow models. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company performed a step zero impairment analysis on furniture and fixtures and land improvements and determined there were no qualitative factors that would indicate impairment. No impairment charges were recorded during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021.

Share-Based Compensation

We maintain one active incentive compensation plan: the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for the issuance of restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock units (PSUs) to certain of our employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

For awards that are subject to market conditions, we utilize a binomial-lattice model (i.e., Monte Carlo simulation model), to determine the fair value. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to determine the share-based compensation expense. For grants with market conditions made during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we utilized an annualized volatility of 39.6%, a 0% dividend yield and an annual risk-free interest rate of 3.5% each determined over a period consistent with the performance period associated with the awards with market conditions. The volatility was based on the last five-year period of our stock performance. The stock price projection for us assumes a 0% dividend yield. This is mathematically equivalent to reinvesting dividends in the issuing entity over the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the yield, as of the measurement date, of the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bill that is commensurate with the remaining performance measurement period.

Share-based compensation expense related to RSUs and PSUs are expensed over the grant date to the end of the requisite service period using the straight-line method. The RSUs and PSUs do not have voting rights. We calculate the fair value of our share-based awards on the date of grant.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per shareShare

Net earnings per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, potentially dilutive shares totaling to 325,416310,794 RSU and PSU shares were excluded in the calculation of earnings per share as their effect is anti-dilutive due to the Company's net loss for such periods. There were no dilutive shares outstanding for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.

Dividends

The Company does not currently pay dividends on a regular basis. In determining whether to declare a dividend, the Board of Directors takes into account the Company’s prior fiscal year’s cash flows from operations and the current economic conditions, among other information deemed relevant. Dividends paid per common stock are based on the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period. No dividends were declared during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021.

Pursuant to a dividend reversion clause in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, dividends not claimed within one year after the dividend becomes payable will expire and revert in full ownership to the Company and the Company’s obligation to pay such dividend will cease. Any dividend reversions are recorded in equity upon receipt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are various updates recently issued to the accounting literature and these are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2:   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it was practical to estimate that value:

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

Note 3:   Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had a gain on sale of land of $0$5,667 and $590,265,$851,582, respectively.

Depreciation expense was $1,190$1,901 and $1,010$1,517 for the sixnine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Depletion expense was $174 and $430 for the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Depletion expense was $737 and $534 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 4:   Segment Reporting

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. They are managed separately due to the unique aspects of each area.

The tables below present financial information for the Company’s three operating business segments:

There are no intersegment sales reported in the accompanying statements of operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company evaluates performance based on income or loss from operations before income taxes excluding any nonrecurring gains and losses. Income before income tax represents net revenues less costs and expenses less other income and expenses of a general corporate nature. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used solely in the Company's operations within that segment.

Note 5:   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 returns that remain subject to examination. Generally, returns are subject to examination for three 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 6:   Related Party Transactions

The Company and Stream Wetlands Services, LLC (“Stream Wetlands”) were parties to an option to lease agreement dated April 17, 2017 (the “OTL”). The OTL provided Stream Wetlands an option to lease certain lands from the Company, subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable lease form.

Overview

CKX Lands, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, began operations in 1930 under the name Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. It was originally organized as a spin-off by a bank operating in southwest Louisiana. The purpose of the spin-off was to form an entity to hold non-producing mineral interests which regulatory authorities required the bank to charge off. Over the years, as some of the mineral interests began producing, the Company used part of the proceeds to acquire land. In 1990, the Company made its largest acquisition when it was one of four purchasers who bought a fifty percent undivided interest in approximately 35,575 acres in southwest Louisiana.

Today the Company’s income is derived from mineral royalties, timber sales and surface payments from its lands. CKX receives income from royalty interests and mineral leases related to oil and gas production, timber sales, land sales and surface rents. Although CKX is active in the management of its land and planting and harvesting its timber, CKX is passive in the production of income from oil and gas production in that CKX does not explore for oil and gas or operate wells. These oil and gas activities are performed by unrelated third parties.

CKX leases its property to oil and gas operators and collects income through its land ownership in the form of oil and gas royalties and lease rentals and geophysical revenues. The Company’s oil and gas income fluctuates as new oil and gas production is discovered on Company land and then ultimately depletes or becomes commercially uneconomical to produce. The volatility in the daily commodity pricing of a barrel of oil or a thousand cubic feet, or “MCF,” of gas will also cause fluctuations in the Company’s oil and gas income. These commodity prices are affected by numerous factors and uncertainties external to CKX’s business and over which it has no control, including the global supply and demand for oil and gas, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and government responses to the pandemic on supply and demand, geopolitical conditions and domestic and global economic conditions, among other factors.

CKX has small royalty interests in 20 different producing oil and gas fields. The size of each royalty interest is determined by the Company’s net ownership in the acreage unit for the well. CKX’s royalty interests range from 0.0045% for the smallest to 7.62% for the largest. As the Company does not own or operate the wells, it does not have access to any reserve information. Eventually, the oil and gas reserves under the Company’s current land holdings will be depleted.

Timber income is derived from sales of timber on Company lands. The Company’s timber income will fluctuate depending on our ability to secure stumpage agreements in the regional markets, timber stand age, and/or stumpage commodity prices. Timber is a renewable resource that the Company actively manages.

Surface income is earned from various recurring and non-recurring sources. Recurring surface income is earned from lease arrangements for farming, recreational and commercial uses. Non-recurring surface income can include such activities as pipeline right of ways, and temporary worksite rentals.

In managing its lands, the Company relies on and has established relationships with real estate, forestry, environmental and agriculture consultants as well as attorneys with legal expertise in general corporate matters, real estate, and minerals.

The Company actively searches for additional real estate for purchase in Louisiana with a focus on southwest Louisiana and on timberland and agricultural land. When evaluating unimproved real estate for purchase, the Company will consider numerous characteristics including but not limited to, timber fitness, agriculture fitness, future development opportunities and/or mineral potential. When evaluating improved real estate for purchase, the Company will consider characteristics including, but not limited to, geographic location, quality of existing revenue streams, and/or quality of the improvements.

The Company’s Board of Directors regularly evaluates a range of strategic alternatives that could increase shareholder value, and the Board and management conduct due diligence activities in connection with such alternatives. These include opportunities for growth though the acquisitions of land or other assets, business combinations, dispositions of assets and reinvestment of the proceeds, and other alternatives. We cannot assure you that the Board’s evaluations or the Company’s due diligence activities will result in any transaction or other course of action.

Recent Developments

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company began developing several ranchette-style subdivisions on certain of its lands in Calcasieu and Beauregard Parishes using existing road rights of way.  The Company has identified demand in those areas for ranchette-style lots, which consist of more than three acres each, and the Board of Directors and management believe this project will allow the Company to realize a return on its investment in the applicable lands after payment of expenses.  The Company has completed and recorded plats for three subdivisions.  The three subdivisions are located on approximately 415 acres in Calcasieu Parish and approximately 160 acres in Beauregard Parish, and contain an aggregate of 39 lots.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company has closed on the sale of 21 of the 39 lots. As of the date of this report no sales were pending, and the Company is actively marketing the remaining lots.

The Company is working to identify additional undeveloped acres owned by the Company in Southwest Louisiana that would likewise be suitable for residential subdivisions.

Results of Operations

Summary of Results

The Company’s results of operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were driven primarily by an increase in oil and gas, timber and surface revenues offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to the decision to award the officers, who previously served without pay, share-based compensation, an increase in officer compensation, payroll expenses, audit fees and legal fees.

Revenue – Three Months Ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022

Total revenues for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were $310,214,$330,232, an increase of approximately 46.8%90% when compared with the same period in 2021.

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas revenues were 46%57% and 47%62% of total revenues for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A breakdown of oil and gas revenues for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 is as follows:

CKX received oil and/or gas revenues from 6580 and 6664 wells during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The following schedule summarizes barrels and MCF produced and average price per barrel and per MCF for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021:

Oil revenues increased for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, by $40,930.$69,661. Gas revenues increased for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, by $1,903.$10,667. As indicated from the schedule above, the increase in oil revenues was due to an increase in the average oil sales price per barrel partially offset by a decrease in the net oil produced. The increase in gas revenues was due to an increase in average gas sales price per MCF partially offset by a decreaseand an increase in net gas produced.

Lease and geophysical revenues decreased for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, by $321.$303. These revenues are dependent on oil and gas producers’ activities, are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.

Timber

Timber revenue was $88,637$87,904 and $49,414$11,936 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in timber revenues was due to normal business variations in timber customers’ harvesting.

Surface

Surface revenues increased for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, by $17,173. This increase is due to a one-time oil and gas delay rental from an operator to postpone commencement of drilling during the primary term of lease, multiple one-time right of way income, and new surface leases.

Gas revenues increased for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, by $2,764.$13,431. As indicated from the schedule above, the increase in oil revenues was due to an increase in the average oil sales price per barrel partially offset by a decrease in net oil produced. The increase in gas revenues was due to an increase in the average price per MCF partially offset by a decrease in net gas produced.

Lease and geophysical revenues increased for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, by $645.$342. These revenues are dependent on oil and gas producers’ activities, are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Current assets totaled $7,902,572$8,122,422 and current liabilities equaled $181,887$203,926 at JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding debt.

In the opinion of management, cash and cash equivalents are adequate for projected operations and possible land acquisitions.

The Company’s Board of Directors regularly evaluates a range of strategic alternatives that could increase shareholder value, and the Board and management conduct due diligence activities in connection with such alternatives. These include opportunities for growth though the acquisitions of land or other assets or business combinations, dispositions of assets and reinvestment of the proceeds, and other alternatives. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any growth opportunity, including the Company’s ability to raise debt or equity capital on terms and at costs satisfactory to the Company, and the effect of such opportunities on the Company’s balance sheet, are critical considerations in any such evaluation.

Analysis of Cash Flows

Net cash used in(used in) provided by operating activities was $139,279$176,096 and $64,018($63,893) for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively. The changeincrease in cash provided by operating activities was attributable primarily to a decrease in net income attributable to a decrease in gain on sale of landhigher oil and increase in share-based compensation.gas, timber and surface revenue.

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities was ($29,835)26,421) and $730,999$988,570 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, this primarily resulted from purchases of mutual funds of $538,$2,791, purchases of property, plant and equipment of $12,835 and costs of reforesting timber of $16,462.$16,462 offset by proceeds from the sale of fixed assets of $5,667.
