Results of Operations from oil and natural gas producing activities

 

The following table includes revenues and expenses associated with the Company’s oil and gas producing activities. It does not include any allocation of the Company’s interest costs or general corporate overhead and therefore, it is not necessarily indicative of the contribution to net earnings of the Company’s oil and gas operations. Income tax expense has been calculated by applying statutory income tax rates to oil and gas sales after deducting costs, including DD&A, and giving effect to permanent differences. Presented below are the results of operations from oil and natural gas producing activities for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves 

 

Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil, NGLs and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Oil and natural gas prices used are the average price during the 12-month period prior to the effective date of the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements. Proved developed reserves are reserves that can reasonably be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

 

Proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities at  December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the related discounted future net cash flows before income taxes are based on the estimates prepared by On Point Resources. The estimates have been prepared in accordance with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All of the Company’s estimated proved reserves are located in the United States.

 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no proved undeveloped reserves. All proved reserves were proved developed producing.

 

The Company’s estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves and changes in net proved reserves are summarized below for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Mcf equivalents (Mcfe) consist of natural gas reserves in mcf plus NGLs converted to mcf using a factor of 6 mcf for each barrel of NGL.

 

Notable changes in proved reserves for the years ended  December 31, 2025 and 2024 included the following:

 

 

Downward oil revisions in 2025 and 2024 primarily represent revisions due to a decrease in SEC pricing, which resulted in shortening the economic lives of certain properties. Upward gas revisions in 2025 primarily represent revisions due to an increase in SEC pricing.

   
 Sales of minerals in place in 2025 and 2024 represent reserves associated with properties sold during each respective year. Please see Note 2-Acquisitions and divestitures.

 

Standardized Measure (Unaudited)

 

The Company computes a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company’s expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value amount. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process.

 

Future cash inflows and production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated future reserve quantities. The following prices as adjusted for transportation, quality, and basis differentials were used in the calculation of the standardized measure:

 

  

2025

  

2024

 
         

Oil per Bbl

 $65.34  $75.48 

Gas per Mmbtu

 $3.39  $2.13 

 

Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Estimated future income taxes are computed using the current statutory income tax rates, including consideration for estimated future statutory depletion. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a 10% annual discount factor.

 

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to the Company’s proved oil and natural gas reserves is as follows as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:
