CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

In February 2021, Barnwell Industries, Inc. established a wholly-owned subsidiary named BOK Drilling, LLC (“BOK”) for the purpose of indirectly investing in oil and natural gas exploration and development in Oklahoma. BOK and Gros Ventre Partners, LLC (“Gros Ventre”) entered into the Limited Liability Agreement (the “Teton Operating Agreement”) of Teton Barnwell Fund I, LLC (“Teton Barnwell”), an entity formed for the purpose of directly entering into such oil and natural gas investments. Under the terms of the Teton Operating Agreement, the profits of Teton Barnwell were split between BOK and Gros Ventre at 98% and 2%, respectively, and as the manager of Teton Barnwell, Gros Ventre was paid an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of the cumulative capital contributions made to Teton Barnwell as compensation for its management services. BOK was responsible for 100% of the capital contributions made to Teton Barnwell. Teton Barnwell was a variable interest entity for which the Company was deemed the primary beneficiary and thus, was consolidated by the Company.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, BOK acquired Gros Ventre’s 2% non-controlling interest in Teton Barnwell for $185,000 and following the acquisition, BOK now owns 100% interest in Teton Barnwell. As such, although Teton Barnwell is no longer a variable interest entity as of the acquisition date, it will continue to be consolidated by the Company. This transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction with no gain or loss recognized and the difference between the carrying amount of Gros

Ventre’s non-controlling interest and the consideration given for the acquisition of the additional equity interest was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity.
