COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

To the Stockholders of Mexco Energy Corporation:

The Company's Compensation Committee makes recommendations regarding
compensation of the Company's executive officers, including the CEO, subject to
approval of the entire Board of Directors.

Compensation for executive officers is based on the principle that
compensation must be competitive to enable the Company to motivate and retain
the talent needed to lead and grow the Company's business, and to provide
rewards which are closely linked to the Company and individual performance.

Executive compensation for all executive officers, including the CEO, is
based on the performance against a combination of financial and non-financial
measures. In addition to business results, employees are expected to uphold a
commitment to integrity, maximize the development of each individual, and
continue to improve the environmental quality of the Company's operations. In
upholding these financial and non-financial objectives, executives not only
contribute to their own success, but also help ensure that the business,
employees, stockholders and communities in which we live and work will prosper.
