SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) Proved Reserves The Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves have been estimated by the certified independent engineering firm, MKM Engineering. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities that geologic and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods when the estimates were made. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, such estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The reserves actually recovered and the timing of production of these reserves may be substantially different from the original estimate. Revisions result primarily from new information obtained from development drilling and production history; acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties; and changes in economic factors. Our proved reserves are summarized in the table below: SCHEDULE OF PROVED RESERVES Oil (Barrels) Natural Gas (Mcf) BOE (Barrels) Proved developed and undeveloped reserves: September 30, 2020 3,706,360 740,180 3,829,723 Revisions (1) (88,263 ) 38,640 (81,823 ) Purchase of proved reserves (2) 5,408,560 2,859,590 5,885,158 Sale of reserves (3) (2,826,290 ) (618,650 ) (2,929,398 ) Production (947 ) (1,410 ) (1,182 ) September 30, 2021 6,199,420 3,018,350 6,702,478 Revisions 48,320 (5,613 ) 47,385 Purchase of proved reserves - - - Sale reserves - - - Production (10,670 ) (11,567 ) (12,598 ) September 30, 2022 6,237,070 3,001,170 6,737,265 Proved developed reserves: September 30, 2020 549,390 82,430 563,128 September 30, 2021 587,450 411,910 656,102 September 30, 2022 1,153,870 864,770 1,297,998 Proved undeveloped reserves: September 30, 2020 3,156,970 657,750 3,266,595 September 30, 2019 5,611,970 2,606,440 6,046,377 September 30, 2022 5,083,200 2,136,400 5,439,267 (1) Revisions in 2021 included 120,850 bbls in proved undeveloped reserves being reclassified as probable in the 2021 reserve report, net of other immaterial revisions in several properties.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED) Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves The following information is based on the Company’s best estimate of the required data for the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 in accordance with ASC 932, “Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas” which requires the use of a 10% discount rate. This information is not the fair market value, nor does it represent the expected present value of future cash flows of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves. Future cash inflows for the years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were estimated as specified by the SEC through calculation of an average price based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the period from October through September during each respective fiscal year. The resulting net cash flow are reduced to present value by applying a 10% discount factor. SCHEDULE OF NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 12 Months Ended September 30, 2022 September 30, 2021 Future cash inflows $ 589,481,000 $ 355,958,000 Future production costs(1) (91,630,000 ) (69,683,000 ) Future development costs (71,700,000 ) (71,700,000 ) Future income tax expenses (113,873,000 ) (57,206,000 ) Future net cash flows 312,278,000 157,369,000 10% annual discount for estimated timing of cash flows (167,549,000 ) (84,100,000 ) Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows at the end of the fiscal year $ 144,729,000 $ 73,269,000 (1) Production costs include crude oil and natural gas operations expense, production ad valorem taxes, transportation costs and G&A expense supporting the Company’s crude oil and natural gas operations. Average hydrocarbon prices are set forth in the table below. SCHEDULE OF AVERAGE HYDROCARBON PRICES Average Price Natural Crude Oil (Bbl) Gas (Mcf) Year ended September 30, 2020 (1) $ 40.30 $ 1.77 Year ended September 30, 2021 (1) $ 55.98 $ 2.95 Year ended September 30, 2022 (1) $ 91.72 $ 5.79 (1) Average prices were based on 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month prices for the period from October through September during each respective fiscal year. Future production and development costs, which include dismantlement and restoration expense, are computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the Company’s proved crude oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.
