Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

This update will supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases, by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities classified as operating leases on the balance sheet.

Q1 2020

See Note 2: Leases for further details related the Company’s adoption of this standard.

ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements and ASC 842

This update will allow entities to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, and will allow entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Topic 840, including disclosure requirements, in the comparative period presented in the year the new leases standard is adopted. Entities that elect this option would still adopt the new leases standard using a modified retrospective transition method, but would recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, if any, rather than in the earliest period presented.

NOTE 2: Leases

Impact of ASC 842 Adoption

On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective method. This ASU, as subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20, requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under the previous guidance. The Company elected the practical expedient under ASU 2018-11, and used October 1, 2019, the beginning of the period of adoption, as its date of initial application. The Company elected the set of practical expedients upon transition which will retain the lease classification for leases and any unamortized initial direct costs that existed prior to the adoption of the standard.

The Company’s operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease obligations were less than 1% of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2019, had remaining terms of less than 12 months and were not considered material to the Company; and therefore, the adoption of the standard had no related impact on the Company’s Balance Sheets as of October 1, 2019. Additionally, there was no related impact on the Company’s Statements of Operations, and the standard had no impact on the Company’s debt covenant compliance under existing agreements.

Assessment of Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by considering whether (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the agreement and (ii) the Company obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the agreement. As of June 30, 2020, none of the Company’s leases were classified as financing leases. Operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company signed a new lease for office space during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, with a commencement date in the fourth quarter of 2020. The associated lease liability and ROU asset will be recognized at that time and is estimated to be approximately $1 million.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date and consist of the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term, initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments less any lease incentives. Operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate, when readily determinable, or its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.

The lease terms may include periods covered by options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option and periods covered by options to terminate the lease when it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with terms, including applicable options, of less than twelve months on the Company’s Balance Sheets and recognize those lease payments in the Company’s Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that the Company’s assumptions and expectations change, it may have to revise its ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.

NOTE 3: Revenues

Lease bonus incomerevenue

The Company generates lease bonus revenue by leasing its mineral interests to exploration and production companies. A lease agreement represents the Company's contract with a third party and generally conveys the rights to any oil, NGL or natural gas, oil or NGL discovered, grants the Company a right to a specified royalty interest and requires that drilling and completion operations commence within a specified time period. Control is transferred to the lessee and the Company has satisfied its performance obligation when the lease agreement is executed, such that revenue is recognized when the lease bonus payment is received. The Company accounts for its lease bonuses as conveyances in accordance with the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC 932 (Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas), and upon disposition, it recognizes the lease bonus as a cost recovery with any excess above its cost basis in the mineral being treated as a gain. The excess of lease bonus above the mineral basis is shown in the lease bonuses and rental income line item on the Company’s Statements of Operations.

Sales of natural gas, sales

Sales of oil NGL and natural gasNGL are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser and control of the product has been transferred. Oil is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing prices published by purchasers with certain adjustments related to oil quality and physical location. The price the Company receives for natural gas and NGL is tied to a market index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality and heat content of natural gas, and prevailing supply and demand conditions, so that the price of natural gas fluctuates to remain competitive with other available natural gas supplies. These market indices are determined on a monthly basis. Each unit of commodity is considered a separate performance obligation; however, as consideration is variable, the Company utilizes the variable consideration allocation exception permitted under the standard to allocate the variable consideration to the specific units of commodity to which they relate.

Prior-period performance obligations and contract balances

The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. As a non-operator, the Company has limited visibility into the timing of when new wells start producing, and production statements may not be received for 30 to 90 days or more after the date production is delivered. As a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The expected sales volumes and prices for these properties are estimated and recorded within the Oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL sales receivables line item on the Company’s Balance Sheets.balance sheets. The difference between the Company's estimates and the actual amounts received for oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL sales is recorded in the quarter that payment is received from the third party. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019,2020, revenue recognized in these reporting periods related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods for existing wells was immaterial and considered a change in estimate. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenue recognized in these reporting periods related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods for existing wells was approximately $2.0 million and primarily due to change in price estimates as a result of basis differentials during winter storms. This is considered a change in estimate.   

As noted above, as a non-operator, there are instances when the Company is limited by the information operators provide to us.it. Through the use of new technological platforms as well as cash received on new wells, in the 20202021 third quarter, the Company identified several producing properties on ourits minerals that had production dates prior to the 20202021 third quarter. Estimates of the oilnatural gas and natural gasoil sales related to those properties were made and are reflected in the third quarter Oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL sales on the Company’s Statements of Operations and on the Company’s Balance Sheetsbalance sheets in Oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL sales receivables. In connection with obtaining more relevant information on new wells on Company acreage for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a change in estimate for new wells to natural gas, oil and NGL sales totaling $365,871, of which $72,717 related to the production periods before October 1, 2020 and $293,154 related to the first and second quarters of 2021. In connection with obtaining more relevant information identifying additional new wells on PanhandleCompany acreage we havefor the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a change in estimate for new wells to Oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL sales totaling $259,336, of which $164,115 related to the production

periods before October 1, 2019 and $95,221 related to the first and second quarters of 2020. This reduced loss before benefit for income taxes by $237,341 in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. This resulted in decreases in both net loss of $189,873 and $0.01 loss per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and decreases in both net loss of $175,632 and $0.01 loss per common share for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

NOTE 4:3: Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes differs from the statutory rate primarily due to estimated federal and state benefits generated from excess federal and Oklahoma percentage depletion, which are permanent tax benefits. Excess percentage depletion, both federal and Oklahoma, can only be taken in the amount that it exceeds cost depletion which is calculated on a unit-of-production basis. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies of stock-based compensation are recognized as provision (benefit) for income taxes in the Company’s Statements of Operations.

Both excess federal percentage depletion, which is limited to certain production volumes and by certain income levels, and excess Oklahoma percentage depletion, which has no limitation on production volume, reduce estimated taxable income or add to estimated taxable loss projected for any year. The federal and Oklahoma excess percentage depletion estimates will be updated throughout the year until finalized with detailed well-by-well calculations at fiscal year-end. Federal and Oklahoma excess percentage depletion, whenif a provision for income taxes is expected for the year, decreaseswill decrease the effective tax rate, while the effect is towill increase the effective tax rate whenif a benefit for income taxes is expected for the year. The benefits of federal and Oklahoma excess percentage depletion and excess tax benefits and deficiencies of stock-based compensation are not directly related to the amount of pre-tax income (loss) recorded in a period. Accordingly, in periods where a recorded pre-tax income or loss is relatively small, the proportional effect of these items on the effective tax rate may be significant. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021 was a 26%31% benefit as compared to a 24% provision26% benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2020,2021 was a 20%38% benefit as compared to a 22% provision20% benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.2020.

The federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides relief to corporate taxpayers by permitting a five-year carryback of 2018-2020 Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”), removing the 80% limitation on the carryback of those NOLs, increasing the Section 163(j) 30% limitation on interest expense deductibility under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for 2019 and 2020, and accelerates refunds for minimum tax credit carryforwards, along with a few other provisions. On July 28, 2020, final regulations were issued under Section 163(j) of the IRC, which modified the calculation under the previous proposed regulations of adjusted taxable income for purposes of the 50% limitation on interest expense. Under the final regulations, depreciation, amortization, and depletion capitalizable under Section 263A of the IRC is added back to tentative taxable income.  This change allowed all interest expense to be deductible for 2020 and reduced the associated deferred tax asset to 0. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company filed forreceived a tax refund totaling $1.4 million associated with the AMTalternative minimum tax (AMT) credits, totaling $1.4 million, which was accelerated due toby the CARES Act. In addition toAdditionally, the accelerationCompany has a $2.2 million receivable associated with the carryback of the AMT refund, an additional $31,127 was recognized as an income tax benefit as a result of the NOL carryback provision allowing the Company to use the previously enacted tax rate of 34% rather than the current tax rate of 21%.  Company’s 2020 federal net operating loss.

NOTE 5:4: Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) perPer Common Share (“EPS”)

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of voting common shares outstanding, including unissued, vested directors’ deferred compensation shares, during the period. 

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not include restricted stock in the diluted EPS calculation because the effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 6:5: Long-Term Debt

The Company has a $200,000,000 credit facility with a groupsyndicate of banks headedled by Bank of Oklahoma (BOK) with(“BOKF”), which had a borrowing base of $32,000,000$28,500,000 as of June 30, 2020, and a maturity date of November 30, 20222021 (as amended, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2023. The Credit Facility is subject to at least semi-annual borrowing base determination,determinations, wherein BOKBOKF applies its commodity pricing forecast to the Company’s reserve forecast and determines a borrowing base. The Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company’s producing oil and gas properties. The interest rate is based on BOKBOKF prime plus from 1.00% to 1.75%, or 30-day LIBOR plus from 2.50% to 3.25%. The election of BOKBOKF prime or LIBOR is at the Company’s discretion. The interest rate spread from BOKBOKF prime or LIBOR will be charged based on the ratio of the loan balance to the borrowing base. The interest rate spread from LIBOR or the prime rate increases as the ratio of loan balance to the borrowing base increases. At June 30, 2020,2021, the effective interest rate was 4.25%4.00%.

The Company’s debt is recorded at the carrying amount on its Balance Sheets.balance sheets. The carrying amount of the Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are reflective of market rates. Debt issuance costs associated with the Credit Facility are presented in Other, net on the Company’s Balance Sheets.balance sheets. Total debt issuance cost, net of amortization as of June 30, 20202021 was $231,387.$252,001. The debt issuance cost is amortized over the life of the credit facility.Credit Facility.

Determinations of the borrowing base are made semi-annually (usually June and December) or whenever the banks, in their discretion, believe that there has been a material change in the value of the oil and natural gas properties. On June 24, 2020,April 7, 2021, the Company entered into the seventhninth amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement.the Credit Facility. The amendment, among other things, reduced the Company’s borrowing base from $45,000,000under the Credit Facility to $32,000,000$29.0 million, extended the maturity date by one year to November 30, 2023, and includes areduced the Quarterly Commitment Reduction, whereby the borrowing base is reduced by

$1,000,000 eachReductions from $600,000 to $500,000, commencing on April 15, July 15, October 152021. Additionally, the amendment increased the Company’s distribution allowance from $1.0 million to $1.5 million per annum for a period of one year from the date of the amendment and January 15, commencingextended this allowance beyond the date that is one year following the date of the amendment so long as (i) the Available Commitment is greater than or equal to 20% of the Total Commitment and (ii) the Leverage Ratio on July 15, 2020.a pro forma basis does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. The next redetermination is expectedexisting prohibition of all Restricted Payments other than the subject distribution allowance and the existing requirement that immediately after giving effect to occura permitted Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default may exist or result therefrom remain in December 2020. effect.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants which, among other things, require periodic financial and reserve reporting and place certain limits on the Company’s incurrence of indebtedness, liens, payment of dividends and acquisitions of stock. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios, a current ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no less than 1.0 to 1.0 and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no more than 4.03.5 to 1.0 based on the trailing twelve months. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company is also required to enter into and maintain certain Swap Agreements for a period of eighteen (18) months fixing prices on oil or gas expected to be produced. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility, had $30,000,000$19,900,000 outstanding of which $2,000,000 is classified as short-term debt due tounder the Quarterly Commitment Reduction,Credit Facility, and had $2,000,000$8,600,000 of borrowing base

NOTE 7:6: Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

Annually, non-employee directors may elect to be included in the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. This plan provides that each outside director may individually elect to be credited with future unissued shares of Company common stock rather than cash for all or a portion of thetheir annual retainers and Board meeting fees and committee meeting fees. These unissued shares are recorded to each director’s deferred compensation account at the closing market price of the shares (i) on the dates of the Board and committee meetings, and (ii) on the payment dates of the annual retainers. Only upon a director’s retirement, termination or death or a change-in-control of the Company will the shares recorded for such director be issued under this plan. Directors may elect to receive shares, when issued, over annual time periods of up to ten years. The promise to issue such shares in the future is an unsecured obligation of the Company.

NOTE 8:7: Restricted Stock Plan

In March 2010, shareholders approved the Panhandle Oil and Gas Inc. 2010 Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 Stock Plan”), which made available 200,000 shares of common stock to provide a long-term component to the Company’s total compensation package for its officers and to further align the interest of its officers with those of its shareholders. In March 2014, shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan from 200,000 shares to 500,000 shares and to allow the grant of shares of restricted stock to our directors. In March 2020, shareholders approved an amendment to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Stock Plan to 750,000 shares. The 2010 Stock Plan, as amended (the “Amended 2010 Stock Plan”), is designed to provide as much flexibility as possible for future grants of restricted stock so that the Company can respond as necessary to provide competitive compensation in order to attract, retain and motivate directors and officers of the Company and to align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.

Effective in May 2014, the Board adopted stock repurchase resolutions to allow management, at its discretion, to purchase the Company’s common stock as treasury shares up to an amount equal to the aggregate number of shares of common stock awarded pursuant to the Amended 2010 Restricted Stock Plan, contributed by the Company to its ESOP and credited to the accounts of directors pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

Effective in May 2018, the Board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s existing stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). As amended, the Repurchase Program continues to allow the Company to repurchase up to $1.5 million of the Company’s common stock at management’s discretion. The Board added language to clarify that this is intended to be an evergreen program as the repurchase of an additional $1.5 million of the Company’s common stock is authorized and approved whenever the previous amount is utilized. In addition, the number of shares allowed to be purchased by the Company under the Repurchase Program is no longer capped at an amount equal to the aggregate number of shares of common stock (i) awarded pursuant to the Amended 2010 Stock Plan, (ii) contributed by the Company to its ESOP, and (iii) credited to the accounts of directors pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

On December 11, 2019, the Company awarded 10,038 time-based shares and 15,058 market-based shares of the Company’s common stock as restricted stock to certain officers. The restricted stock vests at the end of a three-year period and contains non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends and voting rights during the vesting period. Upon vesting, the market-based shares that do not meet certain market performance criteria are forfeited. The time-based and market-based shares had fair values on their award date of $122,062 and $160,401, respectively. The fair values for the time-based and the market-based awards will be recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of the market-based shares on their award date is calculated by simulating the Company’s stock prices as compared to the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP) prices utilizing a Monte Carlo model covering the market performance period (December 11, 2019, through December 11, 2022).

On January 2, 2020, the Company awarded 22,300 time-based shares of the Company’s common stock as restricted stock to its non-employee directors. The restricted stock vests on December 31, 2020. The restricted stock contains non-forfeitable rights to

(10)


receive dividends and to vote the shares during the vesting period. These time-based shares had a fair value on their award date of $246,640.

On January 16, 2020, upon naming a new Chief Executive Officer, the Company awarded 53,476 time-based shares and 21,988 market-based shares of the Company’s common stock as restricted stock, with the same vesting criteria as the December 11, 2019 awards discussed above. The time-based and market-based shares had fair values on their award date of $500,000 and $179,334, respectively. An additional 37,045 of performance-based shares were awarded to the Company’s officers at that time with a nominal value at their award date.

On March 9, 2020, upon naming a new Chief Financial Officer, the Company awarded 16,340 time-based shares, 2,534 market-based shares and 2,534 performance-based shares of the Company’s common stock as restricted stock, with the same vesting criteria as the December 11, 2019, and January 16, 2020, awards discussed above. The time-based and market-based shares had fair values on their award date of $72,550 and $9,814, respectively. The performance-based shares had a nominal value at their award date.

Compensation expense for the restricted stock awards is recognized in G&A. Forfeitures of awards are recognized when they occur. The dilutive impact of all restricted stock plans is immaterial for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the Company’s pre-tax compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020 related to the Company’s market-based, time-based and performance-based restricted stock:

During the first quarter of 2020, Panhandle closed on the sale of 530 net mineral acres in Eddy County, New Mexico, for $3.4 million. At the time of sale, the assets were mostly amortized

Natural Gas, Oil and therefore had minimal net book value. Almost all of the value received was a gain on the sale of assets, $3.3 million, in the first quarter of 2020. The Company utilized a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 to defer income tax on all of the gain by offsetting it with the STACK/SCOOP mineral acreage acquisition that was purchased during the quarter using qualified exchange accommodation agreements.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company sold 166 net mineral acres and producing oil and natural gas properties located in Martin County, Texas, to private buyers for total net consideration of $4.0 million and recorded a gain on the sale of $4.0 million. The cash from the sale was used to purchase minerals and reduce the Company’s outstanding bank debt.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company had no divestitures.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company sold 206 net mineral acres and producing oil and natural gas properties located in Lea and Eddy Counties, New Mexico, to a private buyer for total net consideration of $9.1 million and recorded a gain on the sale of $9.1 million. The cash from the sale was used to reduce the Company’s outstanding debt under the Credit Facility.

Acquisitions

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company had no significant acquisitions.

During the first quarter of 2020, Panhandle closed on the purchase of 700 net mineral acres in Kingfisher, Canadian and Garvin Counties, Oklahoma, for a purchase price of $9.3 million (after customary closing adjustments).

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company acquired 313 net mineral acres (which include producing oil and natural gas properties) in the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota and in the STACK play in Blaine County, Oklahoma, for $3.3 million.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company acquired 329 net mineral acres (which include producing oil and natural gas properties) in the STACK play in Blaine and Caddo Counties, Oklahoma, for $1.4 million.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company acquired 45 net mineral acres (which include producing oil and natural gas properties) in the STACK play in Blaine County, Oklahoma, with undeveloped locations identified in both the Woodford and Meramac Shales for $0.4 million.

Oil, NGL and Natural Gas Reserves

Management considers the estimation of the Company’s crudenatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL reserves to be the most significant of its judgments and estimates. Changes in crudenatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL reserve estimates affect the Company’s calculation of DD&A, provision for retirement of assets and assessment of the need for asset impairments. On an annual basis, with a semi-annual update, the Company’s Independent Consulting Petroleum Engineer,independent consulting petroleum engineer, with assistance from Company staff, prepares estimates of crudenatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL reserves based on available geologic and seismic data, reservoir pressure data, core analysis reports, well logs, analogous reservoir performance history, production data and other available sources of engineering, geologic and geophysical information. Between periods in which reserves would normally be calculated, the Company updates the reserve calculations utilizing appropriate prices for the current period. The estimated oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL reserves were computed using the 12-month average price calculated as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the balance sheet date, held flat over the life of the properties. However, projected future crudenatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL pricing assumptions are used by management to prepare estimates of crudenatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL reserves and future net cash flows used in asset impairment assessments and in formulating management’s overall operating decisions. CrudeNatural gas, oil NGL and natural gasNGL prices are volatile, and affected by worldwide production and consumption, and are outside the control of management (see Item 1A: Risk Factors for a further discussion of price volatility).management.

Impairment

AllCompany management monitors all long-lived assets, principally oil and natural gas and oil properties, are monitored for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be greater than its estimated future net cash flows. The evaluations involve significant judgment since the results are based on estimated future events, such as:as inflation rates; future drilling and completion costs; future sales prices for natural gas, oil NGL and natural gas;NGL; future production costs; estimates of future oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL reserves to be recovered and the timing thereof; the economic and regulatory climatesclimates; and other factors. The need to test a property for impairment may result from significant declines in sales prices or unfavorable adjustments to oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL reserves. Between periods in which reserves would normally be calculated, the Company updates the reserve calculations to reflect any material changes since the prior

(12)


report was issued and then utilizes updated projected future price decks current with the period. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, management’s assessment resulted in an impairment provision of $37,879 on producing properties and $7,976 on wells that the Company wrote off.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, themanagement’s assessment resulted in an impairment provision on producing properties of $29,315,807, primarily due to the decline in commodity prices caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the early March 2020 failure by a group of oil producing nations known as OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts (see Item 1A: Risk Factors).pandemic. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, impairment on wells that were written off totaled $358,826 and $588,721, respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the assessment resulted in no impairment provisions on producing properties.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, impairment of $19.3 million and $7.3 million was recorded on our Fayetteville Shale and Eagle Ford fields, respectively. The remaining $2.7 million of impairment was taken on other producing assets. The discounted cash flows of the properties were prepared using NYMEX strip pricing as of March 31, 2020, using a discount rate of 10% for proved developed and assigning no value to undeveloped locations. The Fayetteville Shale assets are dry-gas assets of which the Company acquired a portion in 2011. Low natural gas prices at March 31, 2020, are the primary reason for impairment in this field. The Company recognized an impairment related to the Eagle Ford at September 30, 2019, of $76.6 million primarily due to the removal of working interest PUDs from the Company’s reserve report. The further impairment of the Eagle Ford assets at March 31, 2020, is due to the decline in commodity prices over fiscal 2020.

A further reduction in oil, NGL and natural gas prices or a decline in reserve volumes may lead to additional impairment in future periods that may be material to the Company.

Collar contracts set a fixed floor price and a fixed ceiling price and provide payments to the Company if the index price falls below the floor or require payments by the Company if the index price rises above the ceiling. These contracts cover only a portion of the Company’s natural gas and oil production and provide only partial price protection against declines in natural gas and oil prices. The Company’s derivative contracts are currently with Bank of Oklahoma. The derivative contracts with Bank of OklahomaBOKF are secured under the Credit Facility with Bank of OklahomaBOKF (see Note 6:5: Long-Term Debt). The derivative instruments have settled or will settle based on the prices below:

The fair value amounts recognized for the Company’s derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The Company has the choice of whether or not to offset, but that choice must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for the derivative contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Company’s Balance Sheets.balance sheets.

NOTE 11:10: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, i.e., an exit price. To estimate an exit price, a three-level hierarchy is used. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability, into three levels. Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the financial asset or liability.

The following table provides fair value measurement information for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as ofat June 30, 2020:2021:

Level 2 – Market Approach - The fair values of the Company’s swaps and collars are based on a third-party pricing model, which utilizes inputs that are either readily available in the public market, such as natural gas curves and volatility curves, or can be corroborated from active markets. These values are based upon future prices, time to maturity and other factors. These values are then compared to the values given by our counterparties for reasonableness.

(a) When indicators of impairment are present,, the Company assesses the carrying value of its producingnatural gas and oil properties for impairment. This assessment utilizedutilizes estimates of future cash flows.flows as well as other market data. Significant judgments and assumptions in these assessments include estimates of future oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL prices using a forward NYMEX curve adjusted for projected inflation, locational basis differentials, drilling plans, expected capital costs and an applicable discount rate commensurate with risk of the underlying cash flow estimates. These assessments identified certain properties with carrying valuevalues in excess of their calculated fair values.values. This table excludes impairments on properties that were written off during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of $7,976 and during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, in the amounts of $358,826 and $588,721, respectively.

At June 30, 2020,2021 and September 30, 2019, 2020, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and payables are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of those instruments. Financial

(16)


instruments include long-term debt, which the valuation of which is classified as Level 2 as the carrying amount of the Company’s Credit Facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are reflective of market rates. The estimated current market interest rates are based primarily on interest rates currently being offered on borrowings of similar amounts and terms. In addition, no valuation input adjustments were considered necessary relating to nonperformance risk for the debt agreements.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

PanhandlePHX is an owner and manager of perpetual oilnatural gas and natural gasoil mineral interests in resource plays in the United States. Our principal business is maximizing the value of our existing mineral and royalty assets through active management and expanding our asset base through acquisitions of additional mineral and royalty interests.

We also currently own interests in leasehold acreage and non-operated working interests in oil and natural gas and oil properties. Exploration and development of our oil and natural gas and oil properties areis conducted by third-party oilnatural gas and natural gasoil exploration and production companies (primarily larger independent operating companies). We do not operate any of our oil and natural gas and oil

(15)


properties. While we previously have beenwere an active working interest participant in wells drilled on our mineral and leasehold acreage, our current focus is on growth through mineral acquisitions and development of our significant mineral acreage inventory in our core areas of focus, which include the SCOOP/SCOOP, STACK and Arkoma Stack plays in Oklahoma, the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico, the Haynesville and Eagle Ford playplays in Texas, the Fayetteville play in Arkansas, and the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota. We have ceased taking any working interest positions on our mineral and leasehold acreage and do not plan to take any working interest positions going forward.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our results of operations are dependentdepend primarily upon our:our existing reserve quantities; costs associated with acquiring new reserves; production quantities and related production costs; and oil, NGL and natural gas, salesoil and NGL prices. Although a significant amount of our revenue is currentlycontinues to be derived from the production and sale of oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL on our working interests, a growing portion of our revenue is derived from royalties received from the production and sale of natural gas, oil NGL and natural gas.NGL.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020,2021 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 20192020

Overview:

The CompanyWe recorded a third quarter 20202021 net loss of $1,356,594, or $0.05 per share, as compared to a net loss of $3,555,215, or $0.21 per share, as compared to a net income of $4,604,236, or $0.28 per share, in the 20192020 quarter. The change in net income (loss)loss was principally the result of decreased oil, NGL, andincreased natural gas, oil and NGL sales lossand decreased LOE, DD&A and impairment expense, partially offset by an increase in losses on derivative contracts, in the third quarter and decreased gain on asset sales, partially offset by a decrease in DDG&A, transportation, gathering and marketing expenses and production taxes and changes in tax provision (benefit).taxes.

Although production is down inProduction increased across all three product categories it is notable that production is down for working interest volumes and slightly up for royalty interest volumes due to new royalty interest wells brought online,during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary factor for2020, due to improved market conditions, resulting in (i) previously curtailed, high interest wells being worked over and brought fully back online in the oilSTACK, Arkoma Stack, and Fayetteville Shale, (ii) acquisitions in the STACK and Haynesville, and (iii) increased drilling and completions activity in the STACK and SCOOP. These increases were partially offset by plays with naturally declining production decrease is attributable toin high interest wells, such as the Eagle Ford Shale working interest wells, where the natural decline on new wells brought online in March 2019 is coupled with recent delays in performing mechanical repairs due to poor economics related to low oil prices. Additionally, decreases are also attributable to the natural decline of the working interestShale.

production base. NGL production decline is attributable to curtailed production along with the natural decline of the working interest production base in liquid-rich gas areas of the STACK, SCOOP and Arkoma Stack. Natural gas volumes have decreased as a result of curtailments in response to market conditions in the STACK, SCOOP and Arkoma Stack, in addition to the natural decline of working interest production base in all the areas. New royalty interest production has increased, even though we have experienced reduced activity as a result of market conditions; this increase is primarily associated with mineral acquisitions and new wells brought online.

Although production is down in all three product categories, it is notable that production is down for working interestNatural gas volumes and slightly up for royalty interest volumes due to new royalty interest wells brought online,increased during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The primary factor for the oil production decrease is attributable to the Eagle Ford Shale working interest wells, where the natural decline of new wells brought online March 2019 is coupled with recent delays in performing mechanical repairs due to poor economics related to low oil prices. Additionally, decreases are also attributable to the natural decline of the working interest production base. Royalty interest oil production has increased, as new royalty interest wells are brought onto production on Panhandle minerals in the Bakken, STACK and SCOOP. NGL production decline is attributable to the natural decline of the working interest production base in liquid-rich gas areas of the STACK, SCOOP and Arkoma Stack. The decrease is partially offset by increased royalty interest production in the Bakken and SCOOP, related to new well drilling on Panhandle minerals. Natural gas volumes are lower2020, primarily as a result of (i) acquisitions in the natural decline of working interestHaynesville Shale, (ii) maintenance workovers on high-interest wells in the Arkoma Stack, and (iii) increased drilling and completion activity in the STACK.  These gas volumes were partially offset by naturally declining production base, along with recentin the Fayetteville Shale and production downtime and curtailments in response to market conditions in the STACK, SCOOP and Arkoma Stack.SCOOP. The decrease isin oil production was primarily due to naturally declining production in high-interest wells brought online during the first quarter of 2020 in the Bakken, as well as reduced drilling and completion activity in 2021 due to prevailing economic conditions compared to 2020 in the Eagle Ford and SCOOP. Oil production decreases were partially offset by increased royalty interestdrilling and completion activity in the STACK. The increased activity in the STACK also resulted in increased NGL production, which was partially offset by production downtime and curtailments in high-interest wells in in the SCOOP as well as naturally declining production in liquid-rich gas areas of the Bakken and SCOOP, related to new well drilling on Panhandle minerals.Anadarko Granite Wash.

The rate decrease was partially offset by lower oil, NGL and natural gas prices utilizedan increase in the reserve calculationsreserves during the 20202021 period, as compared to 2019 period, shortening the economic life of wells. This resulted in lower projected remaining reserves on a significant number of wells causing increased units of production DD&A.2020 period.

Company acquired a portion in 2011. Low natural gas prices at March 31, 2020, were the primary reason for impairment in this field. The Company recognized an impairment related to the Eagle Ford at September 30, 2019, of $76.6 million primarily due to the removal of working interest PUDs from the Company’s reserve report. The further impairment of the Eagle Ford assets at March 31, 2020, was due to the decline in commodity prices over fiscal 2020. The remaining $588,721 of impairment was recorded on other assets. The impairment on assets in these seven fields was caused by lower futuresfuture prices associated with our products.

InterestThe decrease in interest expense decreased $593,402 or 38%is due to a lower average debt balance in the 2020 period. This decrease was mainly due to lower outstanding debt balances ($30.0 million at June 30, 2020,2021 period as compared to $41.5 million at June 30, 2019).

General and Administrative Costs (G&A):

G&A expenses are costs not directly associated with the production of oil and natural gas and include the cost of employee salaries and related benefits, office expenses, and fees for professional services. G&A increased $425,047 or 7% in the 2020 period. The increase was primarily the result of higher technical consulting and legal expenses, partially offset by lower personnel expenses. The increase in technical consulting was due to increased cost for our then interim (now current) CEO, geologic and engineering fees. The increase in legal expenses was primarily due to additional work provided pertaining to the Company’s proxy statement. The Company expects G&A to decrease going forward as a result of the personnel reduction and other G&A reduction efforts.

joint operating agreement that allows the operators to incur certain costs and charge proportionate amount to non-operated partners without asking for consent in advance.

Since the Company haswe decided to cease any further participation in wells with a working interest on itsour mineral and leasehold acreage, we anticipate that capital expenditures for working interest properties will be minimal going forward, as the expenditures will be limited to capital workovers to enhance existing wells.

On November 14, 2019, Panhandle closed on the saleSeptember 1, 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 5305,750,000 common shares (inclusive of overallotment option) with net mineral acres in Eddy County, New Mexico, for $3.4proceeds of $8.2 million. At the time of sale, the assets were mostly amortized and therefore had minimal net book value. Almost all of the value received was a gain on the sale of assets of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The Company utilized a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 to defer income tax on all of the gain by offsetting it with the STACK/SCOOP mineral acreage acquisition that was purchased during the quarter using qualified exchange accommodation agreements.

Looking forward, the Company expectsWe expect to fund overhead costs and any dividend payments from cash provided by operating activities, cash on hand and borrowings utilizing ouron the Credit Facility. The Company intendsWe intend to use any excess cash to strengthen the Company’s Balance Sheets. The Companyrepay outstanding debt and fund mineral acquisitions. We had availability of $2$8.6 million at June 30, 2020,2021 under itsour Credit Facility and iswere in compliance with itsall debt covenants (current ratio, debt to trailing 12-month EBITDA, as defined by the Credit Facility, and restricted payments limited by leverage ratio). The debt covenants limit the maximum ratio of the Company’sour debt to EBITDA to no more than 4:3.5:1.

The Credit Facility was amended through a ninth amendment on April 7, 2021 (the “Ninth Amendment”). The Ninth Amendment reduced our borrowing base under the Credit Facility was redetermined on June 24, 2020,to $29.0 million, extended the maturity date one year to November 30, 2023 and reduced the Quarterly Commitment Reductions from $45$600,000 to $500,000, commencing on April 15, 2021. Additionally, the Ninth Amendment increased our distribution allowance from $1.0 million to $32$1.5 million per annum for a period of one year from the date of the Ninth Amendment and includesextends this allowance beyond the date that is one year following the date of the Ninth Amendment so long as (i) the Available Commitment is greater than or equal to 20% of the Total Commitment and (ii) the Leverage Ratio on a Quarterly Commitment Reduction, wherebypro forma basis does not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. The existing prohibition of all Restricted Payments other than the borrowing basesubject distribution allowance and the existing requirement that immediately after giving effect to a permitted Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default may exist or result therefrom are to remain in effect. The Ninth Amendment also provides that any cash actually received by us in an equity raise is reduced by $1 million each April 15, July 15, October 15considered “Excluded Cash” (previously, this was limited to cash actually received in an equity raise on or prior to December 24, 2020) and January 15, commencing on July 15, 2020. The decrease in the borrowing base was primarily due to the continued decline in oil and natural gas futures prices. Despitethat we may use such cash for acquisitions without BOKF’s prior written consent. We do not expect that the reduction in the borrowing base we do not expect it will impact the liquidity needed to maintain our normal operating strategies.

On November 6, 2017, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3. This filing authorizes the Company to sell up to $75 million in securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and units in amounts to be determined at the time of an offering. Any such offering, if it does occur, may take place in one or more transactions. The specific terms of any securities to be sold will be described in supplemental filings with the SEC. The registration statement will expire on November 6, 2020.

Going forward, weWe expect that capital expenditures to drill and complete future wells will be immaterial. Anticipated cash provided by operating activities may be reduced due to more frequent production stoppages, as it is currently not economic for some operators to continue to produce. Based on anticipated cash provided by operating activities for 20202021 and availability under the Credit Facility, the Company hasmanagement believes we have sufficient liquidity to fund itsour ongoing operations.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MarketCommodity Price Risk

Oil,Natural gas, oil and NGL and natural gas prices have historically have been volatile, and this volatility is expected to continue, especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions. TheOur financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of the Company may be adversely impacted by precipitous changes in oilnatural gas and natural gasoil prices. The market price of oil, NGL and natural gas, oil and NGL in 20202021 will impact the amount of cash generated from operating activities, which will in turn impact the level of the Company’sour capital expenditures and production.We utilize derivative contracts to reduce our exposure to unfavorable changes in natural gas and oil prices. We do not enter into these derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. Our derivative contracts are currently with BOKF and are secured under the Credit Facility. These arrangements cover only a portion of our production, provide only partial price protection against declines in natural gas and oil prices and limit the benefit of future increases in prices. Excluding the impact of the Company’s 2020our 2021 derivative contracts, the price sensitivity in 20202021 for each $1.00 per barrel change in wellhead oil price is $329,199$269,785 for operating revenue based on the Company’sour prior year oil volumes. The price sensitivity in 20202021 for each $0.10 per Mcf change in wellhead natural gas price is $708,676$596,271 for operating revenue based on the Company’sour prior year natural gas volumes.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company utilizes derivative contracts to reduce its exposure to unfavorable changes in oil and natural gas prices. The Company does not enter into these derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. The Company’s derivative contracts are currently with Bank of Oklahoma. The derivative contracts with Bank of Oklahoma are secured under the Credit Facility with Bank of Oklahoma. These arrangements cover only a portion of the Company’s production, provide only partial price protection against declines in oil and natural gas prices and limit the benefit of future increases in prices. For the Company’s oil fixed price swaps, a change of $1.00 in the NYMEX WTI forward strip prices would result in a change to pre-tax operating income of approximately $164,000. For the Company’s oil collars, a change of $1.00 (below or above the collar) in the NYMEX WTI forward strip prices would result in a change to pre-tax operating income of approximately $31,000. For the Company’s natural gas fixed price swaps, a change of $0.10 in the NYMEX Henry Hub forward strip pricing would result in a change to pre-tax operating income of approximately $174,000. For the Company’s natural gas collars, a change of $.10 (below or above the collar) in the NYMEX Henry Hub forward strip pricing would result in a change to pre-tax operating income of approximately $1,641,000.

Financial Market Risk

Operating income could also be impacted, to a lesser extent, by changes in the market interest rates related to the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the BOKBOKF prime rate plus from 1.00% to 1.75%, or 30 day LIBOR plus from 2.50% to 3.25%. At June 30, 2020, the Company2021, we had $30,000,000$19,900,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility and the effective interest rate was 4.25%4.00%. At this point,An increase or decrease of 1.00% in the Company doesinterest rate would have a corresponding increase or decrease in our annual net income of approximately $199,000, based on the balance outstanding at June 30, 2021.

We do not believe that itsour liquidity has been materially affected by the interest rate uncertainties noted in the last few years, and the Company doeswe do not believe that itsour liquidity to fund itsour ongoing operations will be significantly impacted in the near future.

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintainsWe maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company fileswe file or submitssubmit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is collected and communicated to management, including the Company’sour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

We may be the subject of threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting our business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. For certain types of claims, we maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage, product liability and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

ITEM 1A   RISK FACTORS

PleaseWe are subject to certain risks and hazards due to the nature of our business activities.  For a discussion of these risks, please refer to Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. There have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, other than as detailed below.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in future periods could impact the Company’s ability to report accurately and on a timely basis our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject2020. There have been no material changes to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and the NYSE rules and regulations. SOX requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filing for each year, as required by Section 404 of SOX. We previously had identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s oil, NGL and natural gas sales revenue accrual, which weaknesses existed during, and was reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for, the period ended March 31, 2020. To remediate this material weakness, changes were subsequently made to the Company’s internal control for validating the Company’s interests in new wells. Specifically, management implemented an additional control that requires the validation of interest ownership by a review of source documentation for the new well revenue accrual, which control management believes is now operating effectively.

While we believe we have remediated the material weaknesses as of June 30, 2020, we cannot assure you that this or any other material weakness will not continue to exist or occur or otherwise be discoveredrisk factors contained in the future. Any failure to maintain internal controls over financial reporting could result in material weaknesses or material misstatements in our financial statements in the future. Any such failure could harm our financial condition and operating results and could cause stockholders to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our securities, including shares of our common stock.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the recent OPEC+ price war could disrupt our operations and adversely impact our business and financial results.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant decline in worldwide economic activity, which has led to a precipitous decline in oil prices in response to demand concerns, further exacerbated by the early March 2020 failure by OPEC+ to reach an agreement over proposed oil production cuts and global storage considerations. Oil and natural gas prices are expected to continue to be volatile as a result of these events and the COVID-19 outbreak, and as changes in oil and natural gas inventories, oil demand and economic performance are reported. The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving, and the ultimate impact of this pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the disease or mitigate its impact, related restrictions on travel, and the duration, timing and severity of the impact on domestic and global oil demand.

In the event oil prices remain low, there is a risk that, among other things:

the Company’s revenues, cash flows and profitability may decline substantially, which could also indirectly impact expected production by reducing the amount of funds available to acquire future mineral and royalty interests;

the Company’s access to capital sources could be restricted, which could lead to reduced liquidity;

reserves relating to the Company’s producing properties may become uneconomic to produce resulting in impairment of producing properties; and

operators and other working interest owners may be unable to execute their drilling and exploration programs resulting in lower production or inability to prove reserves on nonproducing properties.

(28)


The occurrence of certain of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial results. We cannot predict when prices will improve or stabilize. The COVID-19 pandemic may also intensify the risks described in other risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.2020. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
