−Removed: is primarily the result of an increase in natural gas sales and a decrease in operating expenses partially offset by a decrease in oil
−Removed: sales as further explained below.
−Removed: and natural gas sales.
−Removed: Revenue from oil and natural gas sales was $2,773,779 for the year ended March 31, 2021, a 2% increase from
−Removed: $2,720,353 for the year ended March 31, 2020.
−Removed: This resulted from an increase in oil and natural gas production and an increase in natural
−Removed: gas prices partially due to improved availability of pipeline capacities of natural gas.
−Removed: This increase was partially offset by a decrease
−Removed: in oil prices.
−Removed: The following table sets forth our oil and natural gas revenues, production quantities and average prices received during
−Removed: the fiscal years ended March 31:
−Removed: Volume (bbls)
−Removed: Average Price (per bbl)

−Removed: and exploration.
−Removed: Production costs were $871,963 in fiscal 2021, a 5% decrease from $914,649 in fiscal 2020.
−Removed: This was primarily the
−Removed: result of a decrease in lease operating expenses due to numerous wells being shut-in during the month of May 2020 as well as cost cutting
−Removed: measures being implemented by the operators because of the depressed oil prices.
−Removed: Depreciation,
−Removed: depletion and amortization.
−Removed: Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expense was $906,361 in fiscal 2021,
−Removed: a 6% increase from $853,801 in fiscal 2020.
−Removed: This was primarily due to an increase in oil and gas production and a decrease in oil and
−Removed: gas reserves partially offset by a decrease in the full cost pool amortization base.
−Removed: and administrative expenses.
−Removed: General and administrative expenses were $833,431 for the year ended March 31, 2021, a 17% decrease
−Removed: from $1,006,531 for the year ended March 31, 2020.
−Removed: This was primarily due to a decrease in salaries, contract services, engineering fees
−Removed: and accounting fees.
−Removed: Interest expense was $53,232 in fiscal 2021, a 41% increase from $37,656 in fiscal 2020, due to an increase in borrowings
−Removed: partially offset by a decrease in interest rate.
−Removed: loan forgiveness .
−Removed: PPP loan forgiveness in the amount of $68,957 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 was for the forgiveness
−Removed: of our PPP loan in the amount of $68,574 and $383 in accrued interest expense.
−Removed: The Company received the proceeds for this loan in May
−Removed: 2020 and applied for and received loan forgiveness in November 2020.
−Removed: There was no federal income tax for fiscal 2021 or fiscal 2020.

−Removed: have no off-balance sheet debt or unrecorded obligations and have not guaranteed the debt of any other party.
−Removed: The following table summarizes
−Removed: future payments we are obligated to make based on agreements in place as of March 31, 2021:
−Removed: Payments due in:
−Removed: less than 1 year
−Removed: Contractual obligations:
−Removed: Secured bank credit facility (1)
−Removed: amounts represent the balances outstanding under the bank credit facility.
−Removed: This repayment
−Removed: assumes that interest will be paid on a monthly basis, no additional funds will be drawn
−Removed: and does not include estimated interest $44,250 less than 1 year, and $44,250 1-3 years.
−Removed: lease amount represents the monthly rent amount for our principal office space in Midland,
−Removed: Texas under one three-year lease agreement effective May 15, 2018.
−Removed: Of this total obligation
−Removed: for the remainder of the lease, our majority shareholder will pay $5,393 for his portion
−Removed: of the shared office space.
−Removed: Capital Resources
−Removed: we have primarily used cash from operating activities, the sales of assets and funding from the credit facility as our primary capital
−Removed: resources, we have in the past, and could in the future, use alternative capital resources.
−Removed: These could include joint ventures, carried
−Removed: working interests and issuances of our common stock through a private placement or public offering.
−Removed: Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: preparing financial statements, management makes informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
−Removed: and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
−Removed: On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, including those related to litigation, environmental liabilities, income
−Removed: taxes, fair value and determination of proved reserves.
−Removed: Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual
−Removed: results may differ from these estimates.
−Removed: following represents those policies that management believes are particularly important to the financial statements and that require
−Removed: the use of estimates and assumptions to describe matters that are inherently uncertain.
−Removed: Cost Method of Accounting for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Activities .
−Removed: SEC Regulation S-X defines the financial accounting and reporting
−Removed: standards for companies engaged in crude oil and natural gas activities.
−Removed: Two methods are prescribed:
−Removed: the successful efforts method and
−Removed: the full cost method.
−Removed: We have chosen to follow the full cost method under which all costs associated with property acquisition, exploration
−Removed: and development are capitalized.
−Removed: We also capitalize internal costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration and
−Removed: development activities and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities.
−Removed: amount of oil and gas properties also includes estimated asset retirement costs recorded based on the fair value of the asset retirement
−Removed: obligation (“ARO”) when incurred.
−Removed: or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized, unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship
−Removed: between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.
−Removed: Under the successful efforts method,
−Removed: geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: of drilling exploratory wells that do not result in proved reserves are charged to expense.
−Removed: Depreciation, depletion, amortization and
−Removed: impairment of crude oil and natural gas properties are generally calculated on a well by well or lease or field basis versus the “full
−Removed: Additionally, gain or loss is generally recognized on all sales of crude oil and natural gas properties under
−Removed: the successful efforts method.
−Removed: As a result our financial statements will differ from companies that apply the successful efforts method
−Removed: since we will generally reflect a higher level of capitalized costs as well as a higher DD&A rate on our crude oil and natural gas
−Removed: the time it was adopted, management believed that the full cost method would be preferable, as earnings tend to be less volatile than
−Removed: under the successful efforts method.
−Removed: However, the full cost method makes us more susceptible to significant non-cash charges during times
−Removed: of volatile commodity prices because the full cost pool may be impaired when prices are low.
−Removed: These charges are not recoverable when prices
−Removed: return to higher levels.
−Removed: Our crude oil and natural gas reserves have a relatively long life.
−Removed: However, temporary drops in commodity prices
−Removed: can have a material impact on our business including impact from the full cost method of accounting.
−Removed: Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities are required to
−Removed: perform a ceiling test each quarter.
−Removed: The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test to determine a limit, or ceiling, on the book value
−Removed: of oil and gas properties.
−Removed: That limit is basically the after-tax present value of the future net cash flows from proved crude oil and
−Removed: natural gas reserves plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties.
−Removed: If net capitalized costs of crude oil and natural
−Removed: gas properties exceed the ceiling limit, we must charge the amount of the excess to earnings.
−Removed: This is called a “ceiling limitation
−Removed: write-down.”
−Removed: This impairment to our oil and gas properties does not impact cash flow from operating activities, but does reduce
−Removed: our stockholders’
−Removed: equity and reported earnings.
−Removed: risk that we will be required to write down the carrying value of crude oil and natural gas properties increases when crude oil and natural
−Removed: gas prices are depressed or volatile.
−Removed: In addition, write-downs may occur if we experience substantial downward adjustments to our estimated
−Removed: proved reserves or if purchasers cancel long-term contracts for natural gas production.
−Removed: An expense recorded in one period may not be
−Removed: reversed in a subsequent period even though higher crude oil and natural gas prices may have increased the ceiling applicable to the
−Removed: subsequent period.
−Removed: of our proved reserves are based on the quantities of oil and gas that engineering and geological analysis demonstrates, with reasonable
−Removed: certainty, to be recoverable from established reservoirs in the future under current operating and economic parameters.
−Removed: Our reserve estimates
−Removed: and the projected cash flows are derived from these reserve estimates, in accordance with SEC guidelines by an independent engineering
−Removed: firm based in part on data provided by us.
−Removed: The accuracy of a reserve estimate is a function of the quality and quantity of available
−Removed: data, the interpretation of that data, the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions, and the judgment of the persons preparing
−Removed: the estimate.
−Removed: Estimates prepared by other third parties may be higher or lower than those included herein.
−Removed: Because these estimates depend
−Removed: on many assumptions, all of which may substantially differ from future actual results, reserve estimates will be different from the quantities
−Removed: of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
−Removed: In addition, results of drilling, testing and production after the date of an estimate
−Removed: may justify material revisions to the estimate.
−Removed: should not be assumed that the present value of future net cash flows is the current market value of our estimated proved reserves.
−Removed: accordance with SEC requirements, the cost ceiling represents the present value (discounted at 10%) of net cash flows from sales of future
−Removed: production using the average price over the prior 12-month period.
−Removed: estimates of proved reserves materially impact DD&A expense.
−Removed: If the estimates of proved reserves decline, the rate at which we record
−Removed: DD&A expense will increase, reducing future net income.
−Removed: Such a decline may result from lower market prices, which may make it uneconomic
−Removed: to drill for and produce higher cost projects.
−Removed: of Estimates .
−Removed: In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
−Removed: of America, management is required to make informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
−Removed: liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
−Removed: In addition, significant estimates are used in determining year end proved oil and gas reserves.
−Removed: Although management believes
−Removed: its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those estimates.
−Removed: The estimate of our oil and
−Removed: natural gas reserves, which is used to compute DD&A and impairment of oil and gas properties, is the most significant of the estimates
−Removed: and assumptions that affect these reported results.
−Removed: Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from capitalized costs being amortized.
−Removed: These amounts represent investments
−Removed: in unproved properties and major development projects.
−Removed: These costs are excluded until proved reserves are found or until it is determined
−Removed: that the costs are impaired.
−Removed: All costs excluded are reviewed at least quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred.
−Removed: The amount of
−Removed: any impairment is transferred to the capitalized costs being amortized (the DD&A pool).
−Removed: Impairments transferred to the DD&A pool
−Removed: increase the DD&A rate.
−Removed: Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
−Removed: Revenues from our royalty and non-operated working interest properties are recorded
−Removed: under the cash receipts approach as directly received from the remitters’
−Removed: statement accompanying the revenue check.
−Removed: Since the revenue
−Removed: checks are generally received two to four months after the production month, the Company accrues for revenue earned but not received
−Removed: by estimating production volumes and product prices.
−Removed: Any identified differences between its revenue estimates and actual revenue received
−Removed: historically have not been significant.
−Removed: Company records transportation and processing costs that are incurred after control of its product has transferred to the customer as
−Removed: a reduction of “Natural gas sales”
−Removed: on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
−Removed: Retirement Obligations .
−Removed: The estimated costs of plugging, restoration and removal of facilities are accrued.
−Removed: The fair value of a liability
−Removed: for an asset’s retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the corresponding cost capitalized by
−Removed: increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.
−Removed: The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and
−Removed: the capitalized cost is depreciated by the units of production method.
−Removed: If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded
−Removed: amount, a gain or loss is recognized.
−Removed: For all periods presented, we have included estimated future costs of abandonment and dismantlement
−Removed: in the full cost amortization base and amortize these costs as a component of our depletion expense.
−Removed: Gas imbalances are accounted for under the sales method whereby revenues are recognized based on production sold.
−Removed: is recorded when our excess takes of natural gas volumes exceed our estimated remaining recoverable reserves (over produced).
−Removed: No receivables
−Removed: are recorded for those wells where Mexco has taken less than its ownership share of gas production (under produced).
−Removed: Compensation .
−Removed: We use the Binomial option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based compensation expenses at grant date.
−Removed: This expense is recognized as compensation expense in our financial statements over the vesting period.
−Removed: We recognize the fair value of
−Removed: stock-based compensation awards as wages in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on a graded-vesting schedule over the vesting
−Removed: Our accounts receivable includes trade receivables from joint interest owners and oil and gas purchasers.
−Removed: Credit is extended
−Removed: based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, is uncollateralized.
−Removed: Accounts receivable under joint
−Removed: operating agreements have a right of offset against future oil and gas revenues if a producing well is completed.
−Removed: The collectability
−Removed: of receivables is assessed and an allowance is made for any doubtful accounts.
−Removed: The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based
−Removed: on our previous loss history.
−Removed: The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
−Removed: carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
−Removed: tax rates applicable to the years in which those differences are expected to be settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
−Removed: of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the period that includes the enactment date.
−Removed: Any interest and penalties are recorded
−Removed: as interest expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.
−Removed: Property and Equipment .
−Removed: Provisions for depreciation of office furniture and equipment are computed on the straight-line method based
