BARNWELL INDUSTRIES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barnwell Industries, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Barnwell,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), including a 77.6 %-owned land investment general partnership (Kaupulehu Developments) and a 75 %-owned land investment partnership (KD Kona 2013 LLLP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Barnwell’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in this Form 10-Q are to U.S. dollars.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared by Barnwell in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Barnwell’s September 30, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 (our “2024 Annual Report”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2025, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of Barnwell to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the
9
valuation of deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations, proved oil and natural gas reserves, and such assumptions may impact the amount at which such items are recorded.
Significant Accounting Policies
Other than as set forth below, there have been no changes to Barnwell's significant accounting policies as described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2024 Annual Report.
Discontinued Operations
On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into and completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Water Resources International, Inc. (“Water Resources”). Water Resources drilled water wells and installed and repaired water pumping systems in Hawaii and represented our contract drilling segment. As a result of the sale, the Company has classified the related assets and liabilities and the results of its contract drilling business as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Prior to the sale, the Company did not have any assurances that a sale of Water Resources was likely to occur. See Note 3 “Discontinued Operations” for further discussion and additional disclosures related to discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, the discussions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to the Company’s continuing operations.
Insurance Recoveries
The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance coverage. Receipts from insurance claim reimbursements under the liability coverage, up to the amount of costs recognized are considered recoveries. These recoveries are accounted for when they are probable of receipt. Insurance recoveries are not recognized prior to the recognition of the related costs incurred. Any insurance receivable for recoveries is recorded separately from the corresponding liability, and only if recovery is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.
2. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our ability to sustain our business in the future will depend on sufficient oil and natural gas operating cash flows which are dependent on oil and natural gas prices, which can and in the past have fluctuated significantly, and on oil and natural gas operating expenses which are both variable and fixed. A sufficient level of oil and natural gas operating cash flows are necessary to fund discretionary oil and natural gas capital expenditures which must be economically successful to provide sufficient returns to grow reserves and production or at a minimum replace declining production from aging wells. Such a level of oil and natural gas capital expenditures will require funding from external debt and/or equity sources that are not currently in place, but those sources may not be feasible or sufficient. In addition, we will need sufficient cash flows to fund our non-discretionary outflows such as oil and natural gas asset retirement obligations, ongoing oil and natural gas operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, both those related to our oil and natural gas operations and those related to our being a public company such as costs incurred related to the shareholder consent solicitation and proxy contest.
10
Due to the recent shareholder consent solicitation and the proxy contest costs incurred and estimated to be incurred and the impacts of recently imposed tariffs which have caused a reduction in oil prices and have had an impact on the U.S. economy as a whole, we now face a greater uncertainty about our oil and natural gas operating cash inflows as described above, which in turn limits our ability to make the required discretionary cash outflows for the capital expenditures necessary to convert our proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed reserves. Furthermore, because of the greater uncertainty about our cash inflows described above, there is substantial doubt about our ability to fund our non-discretionary cash outflows and thus substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of the filing of this report.
The Company is investigating potential sources of funding, including debt financing, the issuance of stock, and the partial or complete sale of its remaining interests in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships, however, no probable timing or amounts of such funding have yet been secured. Because of this uncertainty as well as uncertainties regarding the potential duration and depth of the impacts of recently imposed tariffs on the economy as a whole, which in turn affects oil prices and our business as described above, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of the filing of this report exists. While the sale of our U.S. oil and natural gas properties on August 8, 2025 will help to provide cash for the near term, the amount is not estimated to be sufficient to overcome the substantial doubt for one year from the date of this filing in the absence of other sources of funding, none of which are probable at the date of this filing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with three unrelated individuals (collectively, the “Buyer”) whereby the Buyer acquired all of the shares of capital stock of Water Resources (the “Shares”) owned by the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”). The sale and purchase of the Shares closed (the “Closing”) simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by each of the parties thereto on March 14, 2025. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was $ 1,050,000 , which was paid at Closing by the Buyer as follows: an initial aggregate cash payment of $ 250,000 and the delivery of a non-interest bearing promissory note with a principal amount of $ 800,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The principal payments on the Promissory Note were to be paid in installments on the following schedule: $ 200,000 on May 15, 2025; and $ 150,000 on June 16, 2025, July 15, 2025, August 15, 2025, and September 15, 2025. The Promissory Note is secured by certain specified assets of Water Resources and personal guarantees of the purchasers. As of June 30, 2025, the balance of the Promissory Note was $ 450,000 .
In August 2025, the Promissory Note was amended to change the due date of the $ 150,000 installments due on August 15, 2025 and September 15, 2025 to the following schedule: $ 100,000 on December 15, 2025; $ 50,000 on February 15, 2026; and $ 150,000 on March 15, 2026 and to increase the annual interest rate on the Promissory Note from zero to 12 % beginning August 15, 2025 and to 18 % beginning December 15, 2025.
Water Resources drilled water wells and installed and repaired water pumping systems in Hawaii and represented our contract drilling segment. As a result of the sale, the Company has classified the related assets and liabilities and the results of its contract drilling business as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Prior to the sale, the Company did not have any assurances that a sale of Water Resources was likely to occur. The Company recorded a

4. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method to reflect the assumed issuance of common shares for all potentially dilutive securities, which consist of outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted stock units. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Options to purchase 465,000 shares of common stock and 214,270 restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 465,000 shares of common stock and 106,006 restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Options to purchase 465,000 shares of common stock and 229,740 restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 465,000 shares of common stock and 86,190 restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

5. ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Insurance Recovery Receivable
In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company filed an insurance claim for $ 348,000 with our insurance carrier for the reimbursement of certain legal fees incurred that are covered under our directors and officers’ liability insurance policies. Accordingly, the Company determined that an insurance recovery from our insurance carrier was probable and reasonably estimable and therefore recorded an estimated accrued insurance recovery receivable of $ 348,000 as of June 30, 2025. The insurance recovery receivable is included in "Accounts and other receivables, net of allowance for credit losses," in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the related legal expense recovery was recorded in “General and administrative” expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The estimated accrued insurance recovery receivable amount is management's best estimate of the probable recoverable amount under the insurance policies. While the insurer has confirmed that certain costs incurred by the Company are eligible for claim under the Company's insurance policies, the amount ultimately recoverable through insurance is dependent upon the insurer's completion of their review of eligible legal costs incurred and the recoverable amount may differ from management's estimate.

6. INVESTMENTS
Investment in Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships
On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into two limited liability limited partnerships, KD Kona 2013 LLLP (“KD Kona”) and KKM Makai, LLLP (“KKM”), and indirectly acquired a 19.6 % non-controlling ownership interest in each of KD Kukio Resorts, LLLP, KD Maniniowali, LLLP and KD Kaupulehu, LLLP (“KDK”) for $ 5,140,000 . These entities, collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships,” own certain real estate and development rights interests in the Kukio, Maniniowali and Kaupulehu portions of Kukio Resort, a private residential community on the Kona coast of the island of Hawaii, as well as Kukio Resort’s real estate sales office operations. KDK holds interests in KD Acquisition, LLLP (“KD I”) and KD Acquisition II, LP, formerly KD Acquisition II, LLLP (“KD II”). KD I is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increment I (“Increment I”), and KD II is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increment II (“Increment II”). Barnwell’s ownership interests in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
In March 2019, KD II admitted a new development partner, Replay Kaupulehu Development, LLC (“Replay”), a party unrelated to Barnwell, in an effort to move forward with development of the remainder of Increment II at Kaupulehu. KDK and Replay hold ownership interests of 55 % and 45 %, respectively, of KD II and Barnwell has a 10.8 % indirect non-controlling ownership interest in KD II through KDK, which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Barnwell continues to have an indirect 19.6 % non-controlling ownership interest in KD Kukio Resorts, LLLP, KD Maniniowali, LLLP, and KD I.
The Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships derive income from the sale of residential parcels in Increment I, which is now completely sold, as well as from commissions on real estate sales by the real estate sales office and revenues resulting from the sale of private club memberships. The last two single-family lots of the 80 lots developed within Increment I were sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
15
Increment II is not yet under development, and there is no assurance that development of such acreage will in fact occur. No definitive development plans have been made by KD II, the developer of Increment II, as of the date of this report.
Barnwell has the right to receive distributions from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships via its non-controlling interest in KD Kona and KKM, based on its respective partnership sharing ratios of 75 % and 34.45 %, respectively. No cash distributions were received during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. No cash distributions were received during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, Barnwell received cash distributions of $ 1,071,000 (resulting in a net amount of $ 953,000 , after distributing $ 118,000 to non-controlling interests) from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships.
Equity in income of affiliates was nil for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to equity in income of affiliates of nil and $ 1,071,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
Summarized financial information for the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships is as follows:
Three months ended June 30,
2025 2024
Revenue $ 169,000 $ 518,000
Gross (loss) profit
$ ( 46,000 ) $ 129,000

Gross profit $ 2,612,000 $ 8,275,000
Net earnings $ 1,013,000 $ 6,674,000
In the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company received cumulative distributions from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships in excess of our investment balance and in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company suspended its equity method earnings recognition and the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships investment balance was reduced to zero with the distributions received in excess of our investment balance recorded as equity in income of affiliates because the distributions are not refundable by agreement or by law and the Company is not liable for the obligations of or otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships. The Company will record future equity method earnings only after our share of the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships’ cumulative earnings in excess of distributions during the suspended period exceeds our share of the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships’ income recognized for the excess distributions, and during this suspended period any distributions received will be recorded as equity in income of affiliates. Accordingly, no equity in income of affiliates was recognized in the nine months ended June 30, 2025.
Cumulative distributions received from the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships in excess of our investment balance was $ 149,000 at June 30, 2025 and $ 373,000 at September 30, 2024.

Sale of Interest in Leasehold Land
Kaupulehu Developments holds rights to receive payments from KD I and KD II resulting from the sale of lots and/or residential units within Increment I, which is now fully sold, and within Increment II, which is not yet developed (see Note 18).
With respect to Increment I, Kaupulehu Developments was entitled to receive payments from KD I based on 10 % of the gross receipts from KD I’s sales of single-family residential lots in Increment I. The last two single-family lots of the 80 lots developed within Increment I were sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes the Increment I revenues from KD I and the amount of fees directly related to such revenues:

There is no assurance with regards to any payments in the future from Increment II to be received or that the remaining acreage within Increment II will be developed. No definitive development plans have been made by KD II, the developer of Increment II, as of the date of this report.
Investment in Leasehold Land Interest - Lot 4C
Kaupulehu Developments holds an interest in an area of approximately 1,000 acres of vacant leasehold land zoned conservation located adjacent to Lot 4A, which currently has no development potential without both a development agreement with the lessor and zoning reclassification. The lease terminates in December 2025.
7. OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES AND ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Oil and Natural Gas Property Dispositions
There were no significant oil and natural gas property dispositions during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. The $ 282,000 of proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 represents proceeds that were credited to our cash in October 2024 from a sale of properties that closed in late September 2024.
In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, Barnwell entered into and completed a purchase and sale agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in certain natural gas and oil properties located in the Kaybob area of Alberta, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted for
17
customary purchase price adjustments to $ 441,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of May 1, 2024.
Impairment of Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company performs quarterly oil and natural gas ceiling test calculations. Changes in the 12-month rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices (except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements), the value of reserve additions as compared to the amount of capital expenditures to obtain them, and changes in production rates and estimated levels of reserves, future development costs and the market value of unproved properties, impact the determination of the maximum carrying value of oil and natural gas properties.
During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred a non-cash ceiling test impairment for our U.S. oil and natural gas properties of $ 200,000 and $ 865,000 , respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $ 599,000 , which included impairments for our U.S. and Canadian oil and natural gas properties of $ 112,000 and $ 487,000 , respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred a non-cash ceiling test impairment of $ 2,276,000 , which included impairments for our U.S. and Canadian oil and natural gas properties of $ 112,000 and $ 2,164,000 , respectively.
As discussed above, the ceiling test uses a 12-month historical rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices. As such, declines in the 12-month historical rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices used in our ceiling test calculation in future periods could result in impairment write-downs in future periods in the absence of any offsetting factors that are not currently known or projected. Based on the oil and gas prices for July 1 and August 1 of 2025, the oil prices used in the 12-month historical rolling first-day-of-the-month average for the ceiling test at September 30, 2025 are likely to be lower than at June 30, 2025. As such, we may incur a further impairment charge in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. The Company is currently unable to estimate a range of the amount of any potential future impairment write-downs as variables that impact the ceiling limitation are dependent upon actual results of activity through the end of September 2025.
Asset Retirement Obligations
In 2021 the Company entered into an agreement with Canada’s Orphan Well Association (“OWA”), where the Company was required to pay abandonment and reclamation costs for certain properties in advance through two cash deposits, one for abandonment and one for reclamation. Barnwell has provided $ 975,000 in cumulative cash deposits to the OWA since the program began in the fall of 2021, and any amount remaining after completion of the abandonments was to be refunded to the Company, and then upon commencement of the reclamation program a new deposit was to be made for those estimated costs. To date, the excess deposits that relate to abandonment work have not yet been refunded but have been used to fund the reclamation part of the program and the Company now estimates that a portion of the unused deposit will instead be applied to future reclamation work over the next several years. The estimated current portion of the unused deposit was $ 239,000 and $ 527,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included in “Other current assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-current portion of the unused deposit of $ 227,000 along with $ 54,000 of non-current receivables at June 30, 2025, is included in “Other non-current assets” on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2025.

8. RETIREMENT PLANS
Barnwell sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of its U.S. employees and a noncontributory Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which covers certain current and former employees of Barnwell for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Pension Plan. Effective December 31, 2019, the accrual of benefits for all participants in the Pension Plan and SERP was frozen and the plans were closed to new participants from that point forward.
The following tables detail the components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for Barnwell’s retirement plans:
Pension Plan SERP
Three months ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Interest cost $ 98,000 $ 103,000 $ 24,000 $ 24,000

Pension Plan SERP
Nine months ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Interest cost $ 293,000 $ 308,000 $ 71,000 $ 72,000
Expected return on plan assets ( 600,000 ) ( 575,000 ) — —
Amortization of net actuarial gain — — — ( 64,000 )
Net periodic benefit (income) cost $ ( 307,000 ) $ ( 267,000 ) $ 71,000 $ 8,000
The net periodic benefit (income) cost is included in “General and administrative” expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Currently, no contributions are planned to be made to the Pension Plan during fiscal 2025. The SERP plan is unfunded and Barnwell funds benefits when payments are made. Expected payments under the SERP for fiscal 2025 are expected to be $ 76,000 . Fluctuations in actual equity market returns as well as changes in general interest rates will result in changes in the market value of plan assets and may result in increased or decreased retirement benefits costs and contributions in future periods.
A portion of the Pension Plan’s investments is in publicly traded stocks, one of which is Barnwell’s common stock. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Pension Plan held 520,350 and 413,148 shares, respectively, of Barnwell common stock (see Note 18 for additional details).

9. INCOME TAXES
The components of loss from continuing operations before income taxes, after adjusting the loss for non-controlling interests, are as follows:
Three months ended
June 30, Nine months ended

2025 2024 2025 2024
United States $ ( 1,402,000 ) $ ( 666,000 ) $ ( 4,075,000 ) $ ( 37,000 )
Canada ( 182,000 ) ( 331,000 ) ( 476,000 ) ( 2,450,000 )
$ ( 1,584,000 ) $ ( 997,000 ) $ ( 4,551,000 ) $ ( 2,487,000 )
The components of the income tax (benefit) provision from continuing operations are as follows:
Three months ended
June 30, Nine months ended
June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Current $ ( 17,000 ) $ 25,000 $ 186,000 $ 140,000
Deferred ( 17,000 ) ( 4,000 ) ( 51,000 ) 47,000
$ ( 34,000 ) $ 21,000 $ 135,000 $ 187,000
Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax results due primarily to the fact that the Company is taxed separately in Canada based on Canadian source operations and in the U.S. based on consolidated operations, and essentially all deferred tax assets, net of relevant offsetting deferred tax liabilities, are not estimated to have a future benefit as tax credits or deductions. The Company operates two subsidiaries in Canada, one of which is a U.S. corporation operating as a branch in Canada that is treated as a non-resident for Canadian tax purposes and thus has operating results that cannot be offset against or combined with the other Canadian subsidiary that files as a resident for Canadian tax purposes. Income from our non-controlling interest in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships is treated as non-unitary for state of Hawaii unitary filing purposes, thus unitary Hawaii losses provide limited sheltering of such non-unitary income. Income from our investment in the Oklahoma oil venture is 100% allocable to Oklahoma. As such, Barnwell receives no benefit from consolidated or unitary losses and, therefore, is subject to Oklahoma state taxes. Our operations in Texas are subject to a franchise tax assessed by the state of Texas, however no significant amounts have been incurred to date.
On July 4, 2025, the President of the United States signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The legislation, among other things, makes permanent, extends or modifies certain provisions under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including a permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for certain capital expenditures. Pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the effects of changes in tax law are recognized in the period of enactment. As such, this legislation is not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the full impact of this new legislation on its consolidated financial statements.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As disclosed in Note 3 “Discontinued Operations,” on March 14, 2025, the Company completed the sale of Water Resources, which represented the Company’s contract drilling segment. The financial results of the Company’s contract drilling business has been presented as discontinued operations and therefore is excluded from segment reporting. Accordingly, Barnwell’s continuing operations include the following two principal business segments:
Oil and Natural Gas Segment - Barnwell engages in oil and natural gas development, production, acquisitions and sales in Canada and in the U.S. states of Oklahoma and Texas.
Land Investment Segment - Barnwell owns leasehold land interests in Hawaii.
The following table presents certain financial information related to Barnwell’s reporting segments. All revenues reported are from external customers with no intersegment sales or transfers.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The estimated fair values of oil and natural gas properties and the asset retirement obligation incurred in the drilling of oil and natural gas wells or assumed in the acquisitions of additional oil and natural gas working interests are based on an estimated discounted cash flow model and market assumptions. The assumptions used in the calculation of estimated discounted cash flows were primarily Level 3 assumptions; assumptions included future commodity prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, expectations for timing and amount of future development, operating and asset retirement costs, projections of future rates of production, expected recovery rates and risk adjusted discount rates.
Barnwell estimates the fair value of asset retirement obligations based on the projected discounted future cash outflows required to settle abandonment and restoration liabilities. Such an estimate requires
24
assumptions and judgments regarding the existence of liabilities, the amount and timing of cash outflows required to settle the liability, what constitutes adequate restoration, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, and consideration of changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. Abandonment and restoration cost estimates are determined in conjunction with Barnwell’s reserve engineers based on historical information regarding costs incurred to abandon and restore similar well sites, information regarding current market conditions and costs, and knowledge of subject well sites and properties. Asset retirement obligation fair value measurements in the current period were Level 3 fair value measurements.
14. DEBT
Insurance Premium Financing
In March 2025, the Company entered into a short-term financing agreement with a third-party to finance the Company’s directors and officers insurance premium in the amount of $ 183,000 , with a term of 11 months and an annual interest rate of 9.4 %. The Company made a down payment of $ 15,000 and is required to make monthly principal and interest payments of $ 16,000 over the term of the agreement, which matures in February 2026. As of June 30, 2025, the insurance premium financing liability was $ 109,000 and is included in “Other current liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
15. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Restricted Stock Units
On October 24, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) granted a total of 105,820 restricted stock units to the independent directors of the Board as partial payment of director fees for their service as members of the Board. The restricted stock units vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to the director’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates.
On January 19, 2025, the Board granted a total of 66,000 restricted stock units to the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. The restricted stock units vest ratably over a three-year period, subject to the employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting dates.
The following table summarizes Barnwell’s restricted stock unit activity from October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025:
Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted-Average

25
Compensation cost for restricted stock unit awards is measured at fair value and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $ 18,000 and $ 147,000 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units of $ 42,000 and $ 103,000 , respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units was $ 199,000 , which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 1.6 years.
Limited-Duration Shareholder Rights Plan
On January 26, 2025, the Board adopted a shareholder rights plan and declared a dividend of one right (a “Right”) in respect of each of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $ 0.50 per share (“Common Stock”). The dividend was payable to the shareholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2025. Each Right initially entitled the registered holder, subject to the terms of the Rights Agreement (as defined below), to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock, at a price equal to $ 9.00 , subject to certain adjustments (as adjusted from time to time, the “Exercise Price”). The terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, as rights agent (or any successor rights agent, the “Rights Agent”).
In general terms, the Rights Agreement imposes significant dilution upon any person or group (other than the Company or certain related persons) that is or becomes the beneficial owner of 20 % (the “Triggering Percentage”) or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock without the prior approval of the Board. A person or group that becomes the beneficial owner of the Triggering Percentage or more is called an “Acquiring Person.” Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will be null and void and may not be exercised. Shareholders that beneficially own the Triggering Percentage or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on the date the plan is adopted, are not considered Acquiring Persons; however, such Shareholders generally may not acquire, or obtain the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 0.25 % or more additional shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The term “beneficial ownership” is defined in the Rights Agreement and includes, among other things, certain securities that may be exercised or converted into shares of Common Stock and certain derivative arrangements.
The Rights will expire prior to the earliest of (i) the close of business on January 26, 2026 (subject to the shareholders of the Company approving an extension of the Rights Agreement through a date on or prior to January 26, 2028); (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed pursuant to the Rights Agreement; (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged pursuant to the Rights Agreement; and (iv) upon the occurrence of certain transactions.
This description of the Rights Agreement herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2025.

18. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Kaupulehu Developments is entitled to receive payments from the sales of lots and/or residential units by KD I and KD II. KD I and KD II are part of the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships in which Barnwell holds indirect 19.6 % and 10.8 % non-controlling ownership interests, respectively, accounted for under the equity method of investment. The percentage of sales payments are part of transactions which took place in 2004 and 2006 where Kaupulehu Developments sold its leasehold interests in Increment I and Increment II to KD I's and KD II's predecessors in interest, respectively, which was prior to Barnwell’s affiliation with KD I and KD II which commenced on November 27, 2013, the acquisition date of our ownership interest in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships. Changes to the arrangement above, effective March 7, 2019, are discussed in Note 6.
No lots were sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, Barnwell received $ 500,000 in percentage of sales payments from KD I from the sale of the last two single-family lots within Increment I.

Barnwell Pension Plan
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Pension Plan purchased 48,664 shares of Barnwell common stock which resulted in the Pension Plan owning more than 5 % of the Company's common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Barnwell Industries, Inc. Employees’ Pension Plan Trust filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting beneficial ownership of 520,350 shares of Barnwell common stock representing more than 5 % of the Company’s common shares outstanding. All the shares purchased by the Pension Plan were made on the open market through a brokerage account.
19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Oil and Natural Gas Property Dispositions
On August 8, 2025, Barnwell entered into an agreement with an independent third party to sell all of its working interests in its U.S. oil and natural gas assets for a sales price of $ 2,300,000 . The sales price per the agreement was adjusted for customary purchase price adjustments to reflect the economic activity from the effective date of July 1, 2025 to the closing date August 8, 2025. The U.S. oil and natural gas assets were located in the states of Texas and Oklahoma and were owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Barnwell. The Company accounts for its oil and natural gas properties under the full cost method, and thus the carrying value of its U.S. oil and natural gas properties at June 30, 2025 was based on ceiling test parameters mandated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including a discount rate of 10% and using the 12-month historical rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices, which results in a value that is not necessarily reflective of fair value. The Company estimates it will incur a loss on sale of approximately $ 700,000 after related income taxes in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. Barnwell will no longer own any oil and natural gas assets in the U.S. as a result of this sale.
Promissory Note Amendment
In August 2025, the Promissory Note received as partial consideration for the sale of Water Resources (see Note 3) was amended to change the due date of the $ 150,000 installments due on August 15, 2025 and September 15, 2025 to the following schedule: $ 100,000 on December 15, 2025; $ 50,000 on February 15, 2026; and $ 150,000 on March 15, 2026 and to increase the annual interest rate on the Promissory Note from zero to 12 % beginning August 15, 2025 and to 18 % beginning December 15, 2025.
