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), a 75%-owned land investment partnership (KD Kona 2013 LLLP) and two 80%-owned joint ventures (Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP and Kaupulehu Investors, LLC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Barnwell’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities (“VIE”) 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 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, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 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 December 31, 2013, results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and equity for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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.

8

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 most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits for interest reserve and collateral for our land investment loan.

Equity Method Investments

Affiliated companies, which are limited partnerships or similar entities, in which Barnwell holds more than a 3 to 5% ownership interest, are accounted for as equity method investments. Equity method investment adjustments include Barnwell’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, adjustments to recognize certain differences between Barnwell’s carrying value and Barnwell’s equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold.

Investments in equity method investees are evaluated for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amounts of the impairment losses, if any. When an impairment test demonstrates that the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying value, management will determine whether the impairment is either temporary or other-than-temporary. Examples of factors which may be indicative of an other-than-temporary impairment include (i) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (iii) the intent and ability to retain the investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is determined by management to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to its estimated fair value as of the balance sheet date of the reporting period in which the assessment is made.

Variable Interest Entities

The consolidation of VIEs is required when an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is therefore the VIE’s primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is primary beneficiary, may require significant judgment.

Barnwell analyzes its unconsolidated affiliates in which it has an investment to determine whether the unconsolidated entities are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a qualitative review based on an evaluation of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability and financial agreements, as well as a quantitative review. At December 31, 2013, our unconsolidated affiliates that have been determined to be VIEs are accounted under the equity method because we do not have a controlling financial interest and are therefore not the VIE’s primary beneficiary (see Note 5).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU effective October 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU impacted the presentation of Barnwell’s accumulated other comprehensive income footnote disclosures.

2.LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Barnwell stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 837,250 and 807,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to the net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders.

Reconciliations between net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders and common shares outstanding of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations are detailed in the following tables:

	Three months ended December 31, 2013
	Net Loss				Shares		Per-Share
	(Numerator)				(Denominator)		Amount
Basic net loss per share		$	(989,000	)		8,277,160		$	(0.12	)
Effect of dilutive securities - common stock options		-				-
Diluted net loss per share		$	(989,000	)		8,277,160		$	(0.12	)

	Three months ended December 31, 2012
	Net Loss				Shares		Per-Share
	(Numerator)				(Denominator)		Amount

Effect of dilutive securities - common stock options		-				-
Diluted net loss per share		$	(2,746,000	)		8,277,160		$	(0.33	)

3.SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The Company’s share-based compensation benefit and related income tax effects are as follows:

	Three months ended
	December 31,
	2013				2012
Share-based compensation benefit		$	(175,000	)		$	(32,000	)
Income tax effect		$	-			$	-

Share-based compensation benefit recognized in loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are reflected in “General and administrative” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impact on income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $119,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share options. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3.9 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $2.04 (no options were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2012).

Equity-classified Awards

In December 2013, Barnwell granted non-qualified options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of Barnwell’s stock on the date of grant, that vest annually over four years of continuous service, and that expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following assumptions were used in estimating fair value for equity-classified share options granted in the three months ended December 31, 2013:

Expected volatility	55.6%
Expected dividends	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	10
Risk-free interest rate	3.0%
Expected forfeitures	None

11

The application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation, and consequently, the related costs reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A summary of the activity in Barnwell’s equity-classified share options from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 is presented below:

						Weighted-
						Average
			Weighted-			Remaining
			Average			Contractual		Aggregate
			Exercise			Term		Intrinsic
Options	Shares		Price			(in years)		Value
Outstanding at October 1, 2013		60,000		$	8.62
Granted		30,000		3.01
Exercised		-
Expired/Forfeited		-
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		90,000		$	6.75		3.9		$	-
Exercisable at December 31, 2013		60,000		$	8.62		0.9		$	-

Total share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards vested in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2,000 and $0, respectively.

Liability-classified Awards

In December 2013, Barnwell granted non-qualified options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of Barnwell’s stock on the date of grant, that vest annually over four years of continuous service, and that expire ten years from the date of grant. The non-qualified options have stock appreciation rights features that permit the holder to receive stock, cash or a combination thereof equal to the amount by which the fair market value, at the time of exercise of the option, exceeds the option price.

The following assumptions were used in estimating fair value for all liability-classified share options outstanding:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013	2012
Expected volatility range	49.4% to 62.6%	32.6% to 66.1%
Weighted-average volatility	56.5%	59.0%

	2013			2013

Total investments		$	7,374,000		$	2,381,000

Investment in two residential parcels

Kaupulehu 2007 owns two residential parcels in the Lot 4A Increment I area located in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, north of Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka`upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean.

Investment in land development partnerships

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into two limited liability limited partnerships, KD Kona 2013 LLLP and KKM Makai, LLLP, and indirectly acquired a 19.6% ownership interest in each WB Kukio Resorts, LLC, WB Maniniowali, LLC, and WB Kaupulehu, LLC for $5,140,000. These entities 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. WB Kaupulehu, LLC, which is comprised of WB KD Acquisition, LLC (“WB”) and WB KD Acquisition II, LLC (“WBKD”), is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the area in which Barnwell has interests in percentage of sales payments. Barnwell’s investment in these entities is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The limited liability limited partnership agreements provide for a priority return of Barnwell’s investment prior to profit distributions. Net profits, losses and cash flows of the partnerships are allocated to Barnwell and the other partners at varying percentages based on whether the initial and any additional capital contributions have been repaid to the investors. For the period from the acquisition date, November 27, 2013, to December 31, 2013, Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $147,000.

Barnwell, through affiliated entities, borrowed approximately $4,140,000 on the acquisition date under a new bank loan to partially fund the acquisition. In January 2014, Barnwell paid an additional $1,000,000, of which approximately $814,000 was borrowed under the new bank loan, to fund the remainder of the acquisition price. This amount is accrued under the caption “Payable to affiliate” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013.

The initial accounting for the acquisition by the general partner of the investees is incomplete as the general partner is currently in the process of performing an acquisition date audit. As such, we are unable to determine the amount, if any, of the basis difference between the underlying equity in net assets of the investee land development partnerships and the carrying value of Barnwell’s investment as a limited partner.

14

Barnwell, as well as WB and certain other owners of the partnership, have jointly and severally executed a surety indemnification agreement. Bonds issued by the surety at December 31, 2013 totaled approximately $4,700,000 and relate to certain construction contracts of WB. If any such performance bonds are called, we may be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond as Barnwell, WB and certain other owners are jointly and severally liable, however we believe that it is remote that a material amount of any currently outstanding performance bonds will be called. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates. Rather, the performance bonds are released as the underlying performance is completed.

As of December 31, 2013, Barnwell’s maximum loss exposure as a result of its investment in the land development partnerships was $9,693,000, consisting of the carrying value of the investment of $4,993,000 and $4,700,000 from the surety indemnification agreement of which we are jointly and severally liable.

Summarized financial information for the land development partnerships is as follows for the period of November 27, 2013 to December 31, 2013:

Revenue	$	269,000
Gross profit	$	211,000
Loss from operations	$	(386,000	)
Net loss	$	(381,000	)

Percentage of sales payments

Kaupulehu Developments has the right to receive payments resulting from the sale of lots and/or residential units within approximately 870 acres of the Kaupulehu Lot 4A area in two increments (“Increment I” and “Increment II”).

The following table summarizes the Increment I percentage of sales payment revenues received during the three months ended December 31, 2013 (no amounts were received during the three months ended December 31, 2012). This sale occurred prior to our purchase of an ownership interest in the land development partnerships:

Sale of interest in leasehold land:
Proceeds	$	140,000
Fees		(20,000	)
Revenues – sale of interest in leasehold land, net	$	120,000

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. The lease terminates in December 2025.

6.LONG-TERM DEBT

A summary of Barnwell’s long-term debt is as follows:

	December 31,				September 30,
	2013				2013
Canadian revolving credit facility		$	12,000,000			$	12,000,000
Real estate loan			4,506,000				4,640,000
Land investment loan			4,186,000				-
			20,692,000				16,640,000
Less: current portion			(7,106,000	)			(5,240,000	)
Total long-term debt		$	13,586,000			$	11,400,000

Canadian revolving credit facility

Barnwell has a credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada, a Canadian bank, for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, or US$18,804,000 at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate. Unused credit available under this facility was US$6,804,000 and the interest rate on the facility was 2.66% at December 31, 2013.

Under the financing agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2014. Subject to that review, the facility may be renewed for one year with no required debt repayments or converted to a two-year term loan by the bank. If the facility is converted to a two-year term loan, Barnwell has agreed to the following repayment schedule of the then outstanding loan balance: first year of the term period – 20% (5% per quarter), and in the second year of the term period – 80% (5% per quarter for the first three quarters and 65% in the final quarter). Based on the terms of this agreement, if Royal Bank of Canada were to convert the facility to a two-year term loan upon its next review in April 2014, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2014. As such, two quarterly repayments of 5% each would be due within one year of December 31, 2013 and accordingly, we have included $1,200,000, representing 10% of the outstanding loan balance at December 31, 2013, in the current portion of long-term debt.

Real estate loan

Barnwell, together with its real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule. The monthly payment will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of the house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at December 31, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018.

The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of the house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

16

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio.

The home collateralizing the loan is currently available for sale; therefore, the entire balance outstanding at December 31, 2013 under the term loan has been classified as a current liability.

Land investment loan

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through affiliated entities, entered into a non-revolving loan with a Hawaii bank for $5,000,000 and borrowed approximately $4,186,000 on the loan to partially fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs. In January 2014, an additional $814,000 was borrowed on the loan to partially fund the remainder of the acquisition price, bringing the total borrowings under the land investment loan to the facility maximum of $5,000,000.

The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, and accrues interest for the first year at 4.5% and resets annually thereafter to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or to the lender’s base rate plus 0.50%. The interest rate at December 31, 2013 was 4.50%. Principal payments are due on the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, upon the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s residential parcels and on receipt of cash distributions from the land development partnerships. Additionally, Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment of $1,400,000 upon the sale of the real estate held for sale; therefore, $1,400,000 has been classified as a current liability.

The loan is collateralized by Kaupulehu Developments’ rights to percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, a second mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon, the interest in the land development partnerships and any distributions from the partnerships, a $1,000,000 interest reserve account and a $1,000,000 pledged deposit account. Barnwell is a guarantor of the loan.

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio.

7.RETIREMENT PLANS

Barnwell sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, Barnwell sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan which covers certain current and former employees of Barnwell for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Pension Plan, and a postretirement medical insurance benefits plan (“Postretirement Medical”) covering eligible U.S. employees.

17

The following table details the components of net periodic benefit cost for Barnwell’s retirement plans:

	Pension Plan						SERP							Postretirement Medical
	Three months ended December 31,
	2013			2012				2013			2012				2013			2012
Service cost	$	59,000		$	68,000			$	12,000		$	13,000			$	3,000		$	4,000
Interest cost	85,000			75,000				16,000			14,000				13,000			12,000
Expected return on plan assets	(105,000		)	(97,000		)		-			-				-			-
Amortization of prior service cost (credit)	1,000			1,000				(1,000		)	(1,000		)		3,000			34,000
Amortization of net actuarial loss (gain)	9,000			26,000				1,000			5,000				(5,000		)	-
Net periodic benefit cost	$	49,000		$	73,000			$	28,000		$	31,000			$	14,000		$	50,000

Barnwell estimates that it will make approximately $600,000 in contributions to the Pension Plan during fiscal 2014. The SERP and Postretirement Medical plans are unfunded, and Barnwell will fund benefits when payments are made. Barnwell does not expect to make any benefit payments under the Postretirement Medical plan during fiscal 2014 and expected payments under the SERP for fiscal 2014 are not material. 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.

8.INCOME TAXES

The components of loss before income taxes, after adjusting the loss for non-controlling interests, are as follows:

	Three months ended
	December 31,
	2013			2012
United States	$	(850,000	)	$	(1,288,000	)
Canada	(201,000		)	(2,022,000		)
	$	(1,051,000	)	$	(3,310,000	)

The components of the income tax benefit are as follows:

	Three months ended
	December 31,
	2013			2012
Current	$	(129,000	)	$	558,000
Deferred	67,000			(1,122,000		)
	$	(62,000	)	$	(564,000	)

18

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax benefit rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was 6% and 17%, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax losses due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

11.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the terms approximate current market terms for similar debt instruments of comparable risk and maturities.

12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $781,000 and $783,000, respectively, which have not been discounted, were accrued in “Accrued operating and other expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts accrued represent the estimated liability for probable environmental remediation costs for soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate the currently identified sites, and sites identified in the future, if any, could be incurred.

13.INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013			2012
Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:
Cash paid during the year for:

Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities:
Payable to affiliate for investment in land development partnerships	$	1,000,000		$	-

Capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas exploration and development increased $82,000 and $844,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas asset retirement obligations increased $57,000 and $48,000, respectively.

22

14.OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company performs quarterly ceiling test calculations. Barnwell’s net capitalized costs exceeded the ceiling limitation at December 31, 2012. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $2,327,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The reduction is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Reduction of carrying value of assets.”

15.SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In January 2014, Barnwell paid $1,000,000 to fund the remainder of the acquisition price for the land development partnership interests purchased in November 2013. This amount is accrued under the caption “Payable to affiliate” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013. An additional $814,000 was borrowed on the land investment loan to partially fund the remainder of the acquisition price, bringing the total borrowings under the land investment loan to the facility maximum of $5,000,000.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information

For the Purpose Of “Safe Harbor” Provisions Of The

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-Q, and the documents incorporated herein by reference, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A forward-looking statement is one which is based on current expectations of future events or conditions and does not relate to historical or current facts. These statements include various estimates, forecasts, projections of Barnwell’s future performance, statements of Barnwell’s plans and objectives, and other similar statements. Forward-looking statements include phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “will be,” “should,” or similar expressions. Although Barnwell believes that its current expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it cannot assure that the expectations contained in such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such statements. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from Barnwell’s expectations are set forth in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of Barnwell’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, and Barnwell expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has determined that our most critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to the evaluation of recoverability of assets, depletion of our oil and natural gas properties, income taxes and asset retirement obligation which are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended December 31, 2013. We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards on Future Filings

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. Examples of obligations within this guidance are debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The amendments are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

24

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” This update provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, these amendments provide guidance on the release of cumulative translation adjustments in partial sales of equity method investments and in step acquisitions. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” which provides guidance on when and how to apply the liquidation basis of accounting and on what to disclose. The update requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent, as defined in the update. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for an entity that determines liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for an net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, or similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward, rather than as a liability when (1) the uncertain tax position would reduce the NOL or other carryforward under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and (2) the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Barnwell is engaged in the following lines of business: 1) exploring for, developing, producing and selling oil and natural gas in Canada (oil and natural gas segment), 2) investing in land interests in Hawaii (land investment segment), 3) drilling wells and installing and repairing water pumping systems in Hawaii (contract drilling segment), and 4) developing homes for sale in Hawaii (residential real estate segment).

Oil and Natural Gas Segment

Barnwell is involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties in Canada where we initiate and participate in exploratory and developmental operations for oil and natural gas on properties in which we have an interest, and evaluate proposals by third parties with regard to participation in such exploratory and developmental operations elsewhere.

Land Investment Segment

The land investment segment is comprised of the following components:

1)  Through Barnwell’s 77.6% controlling interest in Kaupulehu Developments, a Hawaii general partnership, 75% controlling interest in KD Kona 2013 LLLP, a Hawaii limited liability limited partnership, and 34.45% non-controlling interest in KKM Makai, LLLP, a Hawaii limited liability limited partnership, the Company’s land investment interests include the following:

·The right to receive payments from WB KD Acquisition, LLC (“WB”) and WB KD Acquisition II, LLC (“WBKD”), resulting from the sale of lots and/or residential units within approximately 870 acres of the Kaupulehu Lot 4A area,  located approximately six miles north of the Kona International Airport in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, adjacent to Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka`upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean, by WB and WBKD in two increments (“Increment I” and “Increment II”). Increment I is an area zoned for approximately 80 single-family lots and a beach club on the portion of the property bordering the Pacific Ocean, and is partially developed. The purchasers of the 80 single-family lots will have the right to apply for membership in the Kuki’o Golf and Beach Club, which is located adjacent to and south of the Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka’upulehu. Increment II is the remaining portion of the approximately 870-acre property, is zoned for single-family and multi-family residential units and a golf course and clubhouse, and is not yet developed.

·A 19.6% ownership interest in each WB Kukio Resorts, LLC, WB Maniniowali, LLC, and WB Kaupulehu, LLC. These entities 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. WB Kaupulehu, LLC, which wholly owns WB and WBKD, is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the area in which Barnwell has interests in percentage of sales payments.

·Approximately 1,000 acres of vacant leasehold land zoned conservation in the Kaupulehu Lot 4C area located adjacent to the 870-acre Lot 4A described above.

2)  Barnwell owns an 80% controlling interest in Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP (“Kaupulehu 2007”), a Hawaii limited liability limited partnership. Kaupulehu 2007 owns two residential parcels in the Kaupulehu area that are held for investment.

Contract Drilling Segment

Barnwell drills water, water monitoring and geothermal wells and installs and repairs water pumping systems in Hawaii. Contract drilling results are highly dependent upon the quantity, dollar value and timing of contracts awarded by governmental and private entities and can fluctuate significantly.

Residential Real Estate Segment

Barnwell, through its 80%-owned real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, constructs and sells luxury single-family homes. Kaupulehu 2007, in addition to the two parcels described above, owns a luxury residence in the Kaupulehu area that is available for sale. Kaupulehu 2007 does not currently have any homes under construction.

Results of Operations

Summary

Barnwell incurred a net loss of $989,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, a $1,757,000 increase in operating results from a net loss of $2,746,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The following factors affected the results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year period:

·There was a reduction of the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties of $2,327,000 in the prior year period and there was no such reduction in the three month period ended December 31, 2013;

·A $225,000 increase in contract drilling operating results, before taxes, primarily resulting from increased water well drilling activity and higher contract margins on water well drilling; and

·A $465,000 decrease in oil and natural gas segment operating profit, before the prior year reduction in carrying value of assets and taxes, primarily resulting from lower net production for all products and higher operating costs due to an increase in repairs and workovers.

General

Barnwell conducts operations in the U.S. and Canada. Consequently, Barnwell is subject to foreign currency translation and transaction gains and losses due to fluctuations of the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. The impact of fluctuations of the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar may be material from period to period. Barnwell cannot accurately predict future fluctuations between the Canadian and U.S. dollar.

The average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar decreased 6% in the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, and the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar decreased 3% at December 31, 2013, as compared to September 30, 2013. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity and revenues and expenses of Barnwell’s subsidiaries operating in Canada have been adjusted to reflect the change in the exchange rates. Barnwell’s Canadian dollar assets are greater than its Canadian dollar liabilities; therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar generate other comprehensive income or loss, respectively. Other comprehensive income and losses are not included in net loss. Other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $780,000, a $410,000 change from other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, of $370,000 for the same period in the prior year. There were no taxes on other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

Oil and natural gas revenues

The following tables set forth Barnwell’s average prices per unit of production and net production volumes. Production amounts reported are net of royalties.

	Average Price Per Unit
	Three months ended				Increase
	December 31,				(Decrease)
	2013		2012		$		%
Natural Gas (Mcf)*	$	2.99	$	2.53	$	0.46	18%
Oil (Bbls)**	$	72.96	$	75.00	$	(2.04)	(3%)

Liquids (Bbls)**	19,000	24,000	(5,000)	(21%)

*Mcf = 1,000 cubic feet.  Natural gas price per unit is net of pipeline charges.

**Bbl = stock tank barrel equivalent to 42 U.S. gallons

Oil and natural gas revenues decreased $313,000 (6%) for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, as the impact of higher prices for natural gas was more than offset by the impact of lower net production for all products.

Net natural gas production for the three months ended December 31, 2013 decreased 16%, as compared to the same period in the prior year largely due to natural declines in production from older properties.

Net natural gas liquids production decreased as compared to the same period in the prior year due to natural declines in production.

Oil and natural gas operating expenses

Oil and natural gas operating expenses increased $628,000 (32%) for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to increased repair and maintenance costs which are trending higher as the average age of our properties increases, approximately $150,000 in repair work at a major oil battery in the Red Earth area and $50,000 in costs to eliminate a drilling commitment. Additionally, equalization credits of $26,000 for previously allocated operating expenses were received from non-operated properties in the current year period as compared to $220,000 in equalization credits received in the prior year period. Oil and natural gas operating expenses generally increase over time on a per unit basis as properties age and as more remedial repairs and maintenance are required.

Sale of interest in leasehold land

The following table summarizes the percentage of sales payment revenues received from WB:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013				2012
Sale of interest in leasehold land:
Proceeds		$	140,000			$	-
Fees		(20,000		)		-
Revenues – sale of interest in leasehold land, net		$	120,000			$	-

WB sold one single-family lot in Phase I of Increment I during the three months ended December 31, 2013. This sale occurred prior to our purchase of an ownership interest in the land development partnerships.

As of December 31, 2013, 32 of the 38 single-family lots in Phase I of Increment I have been sold by WB. Forty-two single-family lots are planned for Phase II of Increment I, for a total of 80 single-family lots planned for Increment I. The developer released and began marketing a portion of the 42 single-family lots in Phase II of Increment I, and as of December 31, 2013, one of the lots has been sold. It is uncertain when or if WB will complete the remaining single-family lots in Phase II of Increment I and there is no assurance with regards to the amounts of future sales from Increment I.

Contract drilling

Contract drilling revenues and contract drilling costs increased $892,000 (124%) and $704,000 (116%), respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The contract drilling segment generated a $219,000 operating profit before general and administrative expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2013, an increase in operating results of $225,000 as compared to the $6,000 operating loss generated during the same period of the prior year. The increase in operating results was primarily due to increased water well drilling activity and higher contract margins on water well drilling in the current year period, partially offset by increased costs to resolve difficulties encountered on certain pump installation and repair contracts.

Contract drilling revenues and costs are not seasonal in nature, but can fluctuate significantly based on the awarding and timing of contracts, which are determined by contract drilling customer demand. There has been significant volatility in demand for water well drilling contracts in recent years due largely to the impact of the recession and continuing weak economic conditions on both private real estate development and governmental capital improvement budgets. This has generally led to increased competition for available contracts and lower margins on awarded contracts. Although the Company has experienced a recent increase in water well drilling activity, it is unable to predict the near-term and long-term availability of water well drilling and pump installation and repair contracts as a result of this volatility in demand.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $286,000 (13%) for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that general and administrative expenses in the current year period included a $177,000 reduction in stock appreciation rights expense resulting from a decline in the market price of the Company’s stock, as compared to a $32,000 reduction in stock appreciation rights expense in the prior period, and a $92,000 increase in administrative expense reimbursements from oil and natural gas joint venture partners.

29

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization decreased $515,000 (19%) for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 14% decrease in net production and a 6% decrease in the average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar.

Reduction of carrying value of assets

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company performs quarterly oil and natural gas ceiling test calculations. Barnwell’s net capitalized costs exceeded the ceiling limitation at December 31, 2012. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $2,327,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2012. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

Changes in the 12-month rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, 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. The Company may be required to record reductions in the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties in the future, however, the Company is unable to estimate a range of the amount of any potential future reduction in carrying value as variables that impact the ceiling limitation are dependent upon future prices and actual results of activity.

Equity in loss of affiliates

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into two limited liability limited partnerships, KD Kona 2013 LLLP and KKM Makai, LLLP, and indirectly acquired 19.6% interest in each WB Kukio Resorts, LLC, WB Maniniowali, LLC, and WB Kaupulehu, LLC for $5,140,000. Barnwell’s investment in these entities is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For the period from the acquisition date, November 27, 2013, to December 31, 2013, Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $147,000.

Income taxes

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax benefit rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was 6% and 17%, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax losses due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

30

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests

Earnings and losses attributable to non-controlling interests represent the non-controlling interests’ share of revenues and expenses related to the various partnerships and joint ventures in which Barnwell has interests.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended December 31, 2013 totaled $11,000, as compared to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $40,000 for the same period in the prior year. The $29,000 (73%) change is due primarily to impacts to non-controlling interests of higher revenues reported by the land investment segment in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Barnwell’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, land investment segment proceeds and available credit. At December 31, 2013, Barnwell had $5,269,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $6,804,000 of available credit under its credit facility with its Canadian bank.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operations totaled $999,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $1,743,000 for the same period in the prior year. This $744,000 decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5,632,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $967,000 during the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $4,140,000 payment to acquire interest in the land development partnerships and a $644,000 increase in cash outflows for oil and natural gas capital expenditures.

Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $2,116,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $428,000 during the same period of the prior year. The $1,688,000 increase in cash flows was primarily due to a $3,684,000 increase in proceeds from debt borrowings as compared to the prior year period due to the land investment loan which was obtained on November 27, 2013, partially offset by a $2,000,000 increase in restricted cash, which includes an interest reserve account and a pledged deposit account related to the loan.

In January 2014, Barnwell paid an additional $1,000,000 to fund the remainder of the acquisition price of the interests in the land development partnerships, of which approximately $814,000 was borrowed under the land investment loan bringing the total borrowings to the facility maximum of $5,000,000. At December 31, 2013, the $1,000,000 is accrued under the caption “Payable to affiliate” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Credit Arrangements

Barnwell has a credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada, a Canadian bank, for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, or US$18,804,000 at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate of 0.9402. Borrowings under this facility were US$12,000,000 and unused credit available under this facility was US$6,804,000 at December 31, 2013. The interest rate on the facility at December 31, 2013 was 2.66%. Under the financing agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2014. Subject to that review, the facility may be renewed for one year with no debt repayments or converted to a two-year term loan by the bank.

31

Barnwell, together with its 80%-owned real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank that terminates on April 1, 2018. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule. Monthly payments of principal and interest are due on the first day of each month and will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of the house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at December 31, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018. The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of the house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through affiliated entities, entered into a non-revolving loan with a Hawaii bank for $5,000,000 and borrowed approximately $4,186,000 on the loan to partially fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs. In January 2014, an additional $814,000 was borrowed on the loan to partially fund the remainder of the acquisition price, bringing the total borrowings under the land investment loan to the facility maximum of $5,000,000. The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, and accrues interest for the first year at 4.5% and resets annually thereafter to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or to the lender’s base rate plus 0.50%. The loan is collateralized by Kaupulehu Developments’ rights to percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, a second mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon, the interest in the land development partnerships and any distributions from the partnerships, a $1,000,000 interest reserve account and a $1,000,000 pledged deposit account. Barnwell is a guarantor of the loan. Principal payments are due on the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, upon the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s real estate held for sale and residential parcels and on receipt of cash distributions from the land development partnerships.

The loan agreements contain provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1 and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 2.65 to 1.

Oil and Natural Gas and Other Capital Expenditures

Barnwell’s oil and natural gas capital expenditures, including accrued capital expenditures, totaled $1,756,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, as compared to $1,865,000 for the same period in the prior year. Management expects that oil and natural gas capital expenditures in fiscal 2014 will range from $4,000,000 to $4,500,000. This estimated amount may increase or decrease as dictated by cash flows and management’s assessment of the oil and natural gas environment and prospects.

32

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, Barnwell drilled two gross (1.2 net) development wells in Canada, both of which appear to be successful. The term “gross” refers to the total number of wells in which Barnwell owns an interest, and “net” refers to Barnwell’s aggregate interest therein. For example, a 50% interest in a well represents one gross well, but 0.5 net well. The gross figure includes interests owned of record by Barnwell and, in addition, the portion owned by others.

Other Considerations

We believe our sources of funds such as current cash balances, future operating cash flows, land investment segment proceeds, and available credit will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, planned future capital expenditures, scheduled debt repayments and related interest. However, in the event oil and natural gas prices and production, land investment segment proceeds, and residential real estate home sale proceeds are less than current expectations, Barnwell’s Canadian revolving credit facility is reduced below the current level of borrowings under the facility upon the April 2014 review, and/or we fall short of our key financial debt covenants for our real estate and land investment loans and are required to repay all or a portion of our loan borrowings earlier than anticipated, we will be faced with reduced cash inflows and/or higher cash outflows than expected, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition. Absent a sufficient increase in natural gas and/or oil prices, it is unlikely that future oil and natural gas operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund the capital expenditure levels necessary to maintain current production and reserve levels. As such, the near-term and longer-term outlook for sources and uses of funds and oil and natural gas capital resources remains highly dependent on the factors noted above.

In the event our liquidity and capital resources are not sufficient to fund our future cash needs, the Company will need to obtain alternative terms or sources of financing or liquidate investments and/or operating assets to make any required cash outflows. Events and circumstances that lead to results that significantly differ from management’s expectations could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, cash flows, and financial condition.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Barnwell, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Barnwell’s financial reports and to other members of executive management and the Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2013, an evaluation was carried out by Barnwell’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of Barnwell’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Barnwell’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Barnwell in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder.

33

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Barnwell’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Barnwell’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.

We hold investment interests in unconsolidated land development partnerships, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, in which we do not have a controlling interest. These investments involve risks and are highly illiquid.

These investments involve risks which include:

·the lack of a controlling interest in these partnerships and, therefore, the inability to require that the entities sell assets, return invested capital or take any other action without obtaining the majority vote of partners;

·potential for future additional capital contributions to fund operations and development activities;

·theadverseimpactonoverallprofitabilityif the entities do not achieve the financial results projected;

·thereallocationofamountsofcapitalfromotheroperatinginitiativesand/oranincreaseinourindebtednesstopaypotentialfutureadditionalcapitalcontributions,whichcouldin turnrestrictour ability to access additional capital when needed or to pursue other important elements of our business strategy;

·undisclosed,contingentorotherliabilitiesorproblems,unanticipatedcosts, and an inability to recover or managesuchliabilitiesand costs; and

·certainunderlyingpartnershipdataisnotaccessibleto us, therefore wedependonthe general partner to provide us with reliable accounting information.

We may be required to write-down the carrying value of our investment in land development partnerships if our assumptions about future lot sales and profitability prove incorrect.

In analyzing the value of our investment in land development partnerships, we have made assumptions about the level of future lot sales, operating and development costs, cash generation, and market conditions. These assumptions are based on management’s and the general partner’s best estimates and if the actual results differ significantly from these assumptions, we may not be able to realize the value of the assets recorded, which could lead to an impairment of certain of these assets in the future.

34

We face risks related to “balloon payments” and refinancings.

Certain of our loans will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon payments.” There can be no assurance that we will have the funds available to fund the balloon payments or that we will be able to refinance the loans on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we cannot either pay off or refinance the loans on favorable terms or at all, we may be forced to dispose of properties or other assets on disadvantageous terms or pay higher interest rates, either of which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

ARTICLE 2

CAPITALIZATION

2.1Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Partner. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be:

5

(b)decreased by (i) cash distributions to such Partner from the Partnership, (ii) the Fair Market Value of any assets distributed to such Partner from the Partnership, net of liabilities secured by such assets that such Partner is deemed to assume, or take subject to, under Code Section 752, and (iii) all items of deduction or loss allocated to such Partner in accordance with ARTICLE 3;

provided, however, that the Capital Accounts shall in all events be determined and maintained in accordance with the rules set forth in section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations.

2.2Initial Capital Contributions. The total initial capital contribution by the Partners to the Partnership (the “Initial Capital Contribution”) shall be as set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made part hereof. Each Partner shall receive, as of the Effective Date, a Capital Account credit for such contribution in such amount; provided, however, that the timing of the obligation to fund the Initial Capital Contribution shall be governed by the timing provisions for the initial capital contributions set forth in the Limited Liability Limited Partnership Agreement of Ka’upulehu Makai.

2.3Additional Contributions, Loans and Withdrawals of Capital.

(a)Additional Capital Contributions.

(i)General Partner-Requested Contributions. The General Partner may, by written notice to each Partner, request additional capital contributions (“Additional Capital Contribution”) to the Partnership. Such notice shall set forth the total amount of funds required by the Partnership, the Partner’s proportionate share of such amount based on the Partner’s then existing Sharing Ratio, and the date by which the Requested Additional Capital Contribution is to be contributed, and the reason or reasons that the Partnership requires the additional funds. If approved by all Partners, which approval may be withheld in each Partner’s discretion, the Partners shall make the Requested Additional Capital Contribution by the date approved by the Partners.  No Partner shall be obligated to make any Additional Capital Contribution which the Partner did not approve.

(ii)Option to Fund Additional Capital. In the event that less than all of the Partners approve any call for additional capital by the General Partner, then the other Partners shall be given the opportunity to make the Additional Capital Contributions in the ratio of the each contributing Partner’s Sharing Ratio to the total Sharing Ratios of those Partners who are willing to make the Additional Capital Contribution multiplied by the total amount of Additional Capital Contributions being requested by the General Partner.

(iii)Contributions by New Partners. A new Partner may be admitted to the Partnership for new value in accordance with Sections 7.3 or 9.1. Any new Partner shall make such capital contributions (“New Partner Capital Contributions”) to the Partnership upon its admission as a Partner as determined by the unanimous vote of the Partners in their discretion.  New Partner Capital Contributions shall be

6

treated as Initial Capital Contributions for the purposes of Section 4.1 unless otherwise specified upon admission of the new Partner.

(iv)No Other Contribution Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 2.2, no Partner shall be required without such Partner’s consent to make any capital contributions to the Partnership on or after the Effective Date, whether on liquidation of the Partnership, by reason of a deficit Capital Account balance or otherwise.

(v)No Duty to Restore Capital Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any custom or rule of law to the contrary, the deficit, if any, in the Capital Account of any Partner upon dissolution of the Partnership shall not be an asset of the Partnership and such Partner shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Partnership to bring the balance of such Partner’s Capital Account to zero.

(b)Loans. No Partner shall be required to lend any money to or for the benefit of the Partnership. If Partnership funds are insufficient to meet its costs, expenses, obligations or liabilities, or to make any expenditure authorized by this Agreement, any Partner may (but shall not be required to) lend all or a portion of the amount of needed funds to the Partnership. Any such loans shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, and shall be on such other terms as the General Partner and the Partner(s) making such loans may agree.

(c)Withdrawals and Interest. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any portion of its capital contribution or Capital Account balance.  Except for the priority returns provided in Section 2.3(a)(ii) above and Section 4.1 below, no Partner shall be entitled to receive any interest on the balance in such Partner’s Capital Account.

ARTICLE 3

PROFIT AND LOSS ALLOCATIONS

3.1Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a)General Rule. Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Sharing Ratios, provided that at all times prior to Barnwell’s having received distributions under Section 4.1(b) equal to its Initial Capital Contribution plus the Second Priority Return thereon, such Profits and Losses shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to Barnwell and zero percent (0%) to the other Partners.

(b)Deficit Capital Account and Related Rules. Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), allocations shall be made to the Partners as set forth in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1 (b) and 1.704-2 (relating to allocations of partnership income or loss) as such regulations relate to limitations on loss allocations determined by reference to a Partner’s negative Capital Account balance for which it is not economically responsible, allocations of gross income in connection with “qualified income offsets” (such as

7

distributions causing excess negative Capital Account balances), and allocations attributable to the presence of nonrecourse debt. If any such allocations are made which are inconsistent with the desired allocations in accordance with Sharing Ratios as described in Section 3.1(a), other items of income, gain, loss and deduction for such fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years shall be reallocated among the Partners, to the extent possible, so as to reverse the effect of any such disproportionate allocations.

(c)Change in Partners’ lnterests. If there is a change in any Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Profits, Losses or other items during any year, allocations among the Partners shall be made in accordance with their interests in the Partnership from time to time during such year in accordance with Code Section 706, using the closing of the books method, except that depreciation, amortization and similar items shall be deemed to accrue ratably on a daily basis over the entire year during which the corresponding asset is owned by the Partnership for the entire year, and over the portion of a year after such asset is placed in service by the Partnership if such asset is placed in service during the year.

3.2Tax Allocations.

(a)Generally. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(b), allocations for tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and credits and basis therefor, shall be made in the same manner as allocations for book purposes as set forth in Section 3.1. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.2 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(b)Special Rules.

(i)Elimination of Book/Tax Disparities. If any Partnership property has a Carrying Value different than its adjusted tax basis to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (whether by reason of the contribution of such property to the Partnership, the revaluation of such property hereunder, or otherwise), allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction under this Section 3.2 with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) or the principles set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(ii)Allocation of Items Among Partners. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and all other items governed by Code Section 702(a) shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items to such Partners hereunder, provided that any gain recognized from any disposition of a Partnership asset which is treated as ordinary income because it is attributable to the recapture of any depreciation or amortization shall be allocated among the Partners in the same ratio as the prior allocations of Profits, Losses or other

8

items which included such depreciation or amortization, but not in excess of the gain otherwise allocable to each such Partner.

(iii)Conformity of Reporting. The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 3.2 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.2 in reporting their shares of Partnership income, loss, credits and other items for income tax purposes, except in the case of manifest error to the Partners.

ARTICLE 4

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1Cash Flow Distributions. The Partnership shall distribute Cash Flow to the Partners as and when determined by the General Partner in the General Partner’s reasonable discretion. Distributions of Cash Flow shall be made to the Partners in the following order of priority:

(a)Distributions of Cash Flow to the Partners derived from distributions to the Partnership by Ka`upulehu Makai pursuant to Sections 4.1(a), (b), (c) or (d) of the November 26, 2013 Limited Liability Partnership Agreement of Ka`upulehu Makai (“KM Partnership Agreement”) shall be distributed to the Partners of this Partnership in the proportion that each Partner’s Initial Capital Contributions or Additional Capital Contributions to this Partnership funded the Partnership’s Initial Capital Contribution Account or Additional Capital Contribution Account with Ka`upulehu Makai until each Partner’s Additional Capital Contributions, if any, and Initial Capital Contributions have been returned in full.  For example, distributions to the Partnership by Ka`upulehu Makai pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and (d) of the KM Partnership Agreement representing the return of the Ka`upulehu Makai partners’ Initial Capital Contributions (together with the Second Priority Return thereon) shall be distributed 100% to the General Partner whose $4,140,000 Initial Capital Contribution to this Partnership was contributed as Initial Capital to Ka’upulehu Makai until the distributions pursuant to Section 4.1(d) of the KM Partnership Agreement representing return of Partner Initial Capital Contributions total $4,140,000, and 0% to the Limited Partner whose Initial Capital Contributions to this Partnership were $0.

(b)Distributions of Cash Flow to the Partners derived from distributions to the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.1(e) of KM Partnership Agreement, i.e. distributions not representing return of any Capital Contributions, or distributions from any other source, shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their Sharing Ratios.

4.2Liquidating Distributions. Distributions to the Partners of cash or property arising from a liquidation of the Partnership shall be made as provided in Section 10.3(d)(ii).

4.3Other Distributions. To the extent that cash is available to the Partnership without a requirement of borrowing or the making of Additional Capital

9

Contributions from the Partners, the Partners intend that the Partnership make reasonable efforts to make annual distributions to compensate the Partners for any federal or state tax liability related to the Partnership’s taxable income allocated to the Partners for the prior calendar year.

ARTICLE 5

ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS

5.1Fiscal Year. The fiscal year shall be the twelve (12) month period ending September 30th of each year.

5.2Method of Accounting. Books of account shall be maintained in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles; provided, however, that for purposes of making allocations and distributions hereunder, Capital Accounts, and profits and losses and other items, shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles consistent with those assumed in connection with entering into this Agreement, with the adjustments required by Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b) to properly maintain capital accounts.

5.3Books and Records and Inspection. The General Partner shall maintain full and proper ledgers and other books of account in accordance with the Act.  At all times, such ledgers, books and records and other information regarding the affairs of the Partnership shall be available at the Partnership’s principal place of business for inspection, examination, photocopying or audit by any Partner, or the duly authorized representative thereof, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice for any purpose reasonably related to such Partner’s interest as a Partner.

(c)Tax Audits. The General Partner shall be the tax matters partner, as that term is defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Partner”)  with all of the rights, rights, duties and powers provided for in Code Section 6221 through 6232, inclusive. The Tax Matters Partner, as an authorized representative of the Partnership, shall direct the defense of any claims made by the Internal Revenue Service to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Partnership items at the Partnership level and, in connection therewith, to retain and cause the Partnership to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall promptly deliver to each Partner a copy of all notices and communications with respect to income or similar taxes received from the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority relating to the Partnership which might materially adversely affect such partners, and shall keep such Partner advised of all significant developments in such matters coming to the attention of the Tax Matters Partner.

11

(i)the amendment of this Agreement;

(ii)the amendment of the Certificate of Limited Partnership (other than an amendment to reflect a change that has been approved by all of the Partners, or to reflect a change made by the General Partner with respect to an action within the reasonable or sole discretion of the General Partner, or to reflect a change authorized pursuant to this Agreement);

6.3Reimbursement of Expenses. The Partnership shall pay and reimburse the General Partner for all expenses properly paid by the Partnership.

ARTICLE 7

THE GENERAL PARTNER

7.1General Partner Not Liable for Partnership Obligations. An obligation of the Partnership, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, is solely the obligation of the Partnership. The General Partner shall not be personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being or acting as a General Partner. This applies despite anything inconsistent in this Agreement.

7.2Ceasing to be a General Partner.

(a)Events of Cessation. A General Partner shall cease to be a general partner of the Partnership upon the earliest of the following events:

(i)a withdrawal by the General Partner from the Partnership;

(ii)the Transfer of all of the General Partner’s Interest in the Partnership to the extent permitted by ARTICLE 9;

(iii)the Bankruptcy of the General Partner;

(iv)the death of the General Partner, or the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of an order adjudicating the General Partner incompetent to manage his or her estate;

(v)for cause;

(vi)the termination of the Partnership under Section 10.4; or

(vii)any other event that causes the General Partner to cease to be a general partner because the Act mandates cessation upon such other event, notwithstanding an agreement by the Partners to the contrary.

(b)Conversion of General Partner Interest. If a General Partner ceases to be a General Partner in the Partnership pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v), or 7.2(a)(vii), then as of the date of such event, the General Partner

14

shall cease to be a General Partner in the Partnership and shall instead become a Limited Partner (or solely a Limited Partner, if already a Limited Partner) in the Partnership with all of the rights and subject to all of the limitations of a Limited Partner hereunder, and shall retain its Capital Account and financial rights with respect to allocations and distributions in the manner provided in this Agreement.

7.3Admission of a New General Partner. Except as provided in ARTICLE 9, a new General Partner may be admitted to the Partnership only with the consent of all of the Partners; provided, however, that if such admission is in connection with a General Partner ceasing to be a General Partner pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v) or 7.2(a)(vii), the consent of the affected General Partner (as General Partner) shall not be required.

ARTICLE 8

LIMITED PARTNERS

8.1No Management or Control. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Limited Partners, in their capacity as limited partners in the Partnership, shall take no part in the management, control, conduct, or operation of the Partnership and shall have no right or authority to act for or bind the Partnership. The Limited Partners shall have no voting, consent or approval rights other than those rights expressly set forth in this Agreement.

8.2Liability and Indemnification of Limited Partners.

(a)Liability of Limited Partners. Except as required by applicable law, the liability of each Limited Partner (in its capacity as a limited partner in the Partnership) for the losses, debts, and obligations of the Partnership shall be limited to the unpaid capital contributions such Partner is required to make to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)Indemnification of Limited Partners. The Partnership shall, solely from assets of the Partnership and without recourse to any Partner, indemnify and hold harmless each Limited Partner, its respective affiliates and its respective agents, officers, employees, directors and shareholders (collectively, the “Limited Partner Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements or as fines and penalties, and legal or other costs and expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim, in each case whether incurred in connection with judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings) of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, liquidated and unliquidated, that are incurred by an Limited Partner Indemnitee and arise out of or in connection with the business of the Partnership.

15

ARTICLE 9

NEW PARTNERS; TRANSFERABILITY

9.1Admission of New Partners for New Value. A new Partner may be admitted to the Partnership with the consent of all Partners, on such terms and conditions as the Partners may determine in their discretion.

9.2Prohibition on Transfer. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 9.3 and 9.4, no Partner shall have the right to do any of the following without the prior unanimous written consent of all Partners, which consent any Partner may withhold in its discretion:

(a)sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, exchange or otherwise transfer for consideration all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest, or

(b)gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer for no consideration (whether or not by operation of law, except in the case of bankruptcy) all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest.

9.3Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, each Partner may sell, give or bequeath all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest to any other Partner without restriction of any kind. Furthermore, each Partner may sell, give or bequeath all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest to any entity owned or controlled by the Partner. The rights accorded each Partner under this Section 9.3 may also be exercised by any Partner who may have succeeded to all or any portion of a Partner’s Partnership Interest.

9.4Right of First Refusal.

(a)Except with respect to permitted transfers described in Section 9.3, if a Partner desires to sell all or any portion of such Partner’s Partnership Interest (the “Offered Interest”), the selling Partner shall obtain from the purchaser a bona fide written offer (the “Offer”) to purchase such interest, stating the terms and conditions upon which the purchase is to be made and the consideration offered therefor which must be payable in money. The selling Partner shall give written notification to the remaining Partners, by certified mail with return receipt requested or personal delivery, of the selling Partner’s intention to transfer the Offered Interest, furnishing to the remaining Partners a copy of the Offer.

(b)The remaining Partners, and each of them, on a basis pro rata to their Percentage Interest or on a basis pro rata to the Percentage Interest of those remaining Partners exercising their right of first refusal, may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Interest upon the same terms and conditions as stated in the Offer by giving written notification to the selling Partner, by certified mail with return receipt requested or personal delivery, of their intention to do so within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice from the selling Partner (the “Option Period”). If none of the remaining Partners notifies the selling Partner of the election to exercise the right of first refusal within said Option Period, the right of first refusal will terminate and

16

the selling Partner may thereafter consummate the sale of the Offered Interest, but only to the purchaser identified in the Offer and on the terms contained in the Offer, and provided that the sale must be consummated within sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Option Period.

(c)If any one or more of the remaining Partners gives written notice to the selling Partner of their desire to exercise their right of first refusal and to purchase the Offered Interest upon the same terms and conditions as are stated in the Offer, the remaining Partners shall have the right to designate the time, date and place of closing, provided that the date of closing shall be within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Option Period.

9.5Other Voluntary or Involuntary Transfers.

(a)Right to Allocations and Distributions Only. A transferee of all or a portion of a Partner Interest, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by action of law, shall entitle the transferee to receive the transferring Partner’s share of Profits, Losses and other items pursuant to ARTICLE 3 and such Partner’s share of distributions pursuant to ARTICLE 4. Such transferee, however, shall not be admitted as a Partner, and shall not be entitled to vote or to the other rights of a Partner, other than the right to receive allocations of profits and losses and distributions, and the transferring Partner shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder, unless the transferee is admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner as provided in Section 9.5(a).

(b)Substituted Limited Partners. A transferee of a Partner Interest pursuant to Section 9.5 may become a substituted Limited Partner only if the transferee executes an appropriate agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the admission of the transferee as a substituted Limited Partner has been consented to by all Partners, which consent any Partner may withhold in its discretion.

9.6Prohibited Transfers. Any purported sale, Assignment, Transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of a Partner Interest in the Partnership that is not permitted hereby shall be null and void and shall constitute a default hereunder.

9.7Disassociation of a Partner. Upon the death, bankruptcy, withdrawal or other dissociation of a Partner as provided in the Act, the Partner is not entitled to be paid for the Partner’s Partnership Interest and is not entitled to receive any Distributions in excess of those to which such Partner would have been entitled had such event not occurred, and the Partner shall have not have further rights as a Partner.

9.8Offset Against Purchase Price. The Partnership may offset from the purchase price payable to any transferring Partner any and all amounts owed by such Partner to the Partnership or another Partner hereunder, and may condition the admission of any substitute partner about payment of the amounts owed.

9.9New Partners and Substitution of Partners. A transferee of a Partnership Interest under Sections 9.2 (with consent), 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5(b) (with

17

consent) shall become a Substitute Partner. Admission of a new Partner under Section 9.1 or of a Substitute Partner shall not cause dissolution of the Partnership.

9.10Amendments to Reflect Permitted Change of Partners. This Agreement and the Certificate of Limited Partnership shall be amended to reflect permitted additions, substitutions and withdrawals of Partners, as applicable.

ARTICLE 10

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

10.1No Termination. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Partner shall have the right, and each Partner hereby agrees not, to dissolve, terminate or liquidate the Partnership. No Partner shall have the right, and each Partner hereby agrees not, to petition a court for the dissolution, termination or liquidation of the Partnership except as such rights are provided in this Agreement or are available under applicable law notwithstanding any agreement herein to the contrary.

10.2Events of Dissolution. The Partnership shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of the following:

(a)December 31, 2050;

(b)the approval of each Partner, but only on the effective date of dissolution specified by such Partners at the time of such approval;

(c)a General Partner ceases to be a general partner of the Partnership under Section 7.2, unless at the time there is at least one (1) other General Partner or, if within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, all remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to admit one or more new General Partners;

(d)the sale, exchange, condemnation or involuntary transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, provided that this Section 10.2(d) shall not apply if part of the consideration received by the Partnership in connection with any such event includes deferred payment obligations and the General Partner reasonably determines that it is in the best interest of the Partners to keep the Partnership in existence for the sole purpose of collecting amounts payable under such obligations and distributing such amounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, upon the satisfaction of which obligations the Partnership shall dissolve;

(e)entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or

(f)any other event that causes a dissolution of the Partnership because the Act mandates dissolution upon the occurrence of such other event, notwithstanding any agreement among the Partners to the contrary.

18

10.3Procedures upon Dissolution.

(a)General. If the Partnership dissolves, it shall commence winding up pursuant to the appropriate provisions of the Act and the procedures set forth in this Section 10.3. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, prior to the termination of the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the affairs of the Partners, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.

(b)Control of Winding Up. The winding up of the Partnership shall be conducted under the direction of (i) the General Partner, or (ii) if there is no General Partner, then a Person selected by all of the Limited Partners (such Person hereinafter referred to as the “Liquidator”); provided, however, that any Partner who caused the dissolution of the Partnership in contravention of this Agreement shall not participate in the control of the winding up of the Partnership and provided further, that if the dissolution is caused by entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 10.2(e), the winding up shall be carried out in accordance with such decree.

(c)Manner of Winding Up. The Partnership shall engage in no further business following dissolution other than that necessary for the orderly winding up of the business and distribution of assets. The maintenance of offices shall not be deemed a continuation of the business for purposes of this Section 10.3(c). Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator shall (i) cause to be filed or delivered any required or desirable notices or filings evidencing such dissolution, and (ii) determine the time, manner and terms of any sale or sales of Partnership property pursuant to such winding up, consistent with its fiduciary responsibility and having due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.

(d)Application of Assets. In the case of a dissolution of the Partnership, the Partnership’s assets shall be applied as follows:

(i)Creditors. First, to payment of the liabilities of the Partnership owing to third parties (including affiliates of the Partners) and to Partners. After payment of any such known liabilities, the Liquidator shall set up such reserves as are reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership. Such reserves may be paid over by the Liquidator to an escrow holder or trustee, to be held in escrow or trust for the purpose of paying any such contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations, and, at the expiration of such period as the Liquidator may deem advisable, such reserves shall be distributed to the Partners or their assigns in the manner set forth in Section 10.3(d)(ii).

(ii)Partners. Second, to the Partners in accordance with Section 4.1 above.  All distributions pursuant to this Section 10.3(d)(ii) shall be made no later than the end of the Partnership taxable year during which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs (or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation).

10.4Termination of the Partnership. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership and the distribution of all Partnership assets, the Partnership’s affairs

19

shall terminate and the Liquidator shall cause to be executed and filed a Certificate of Cancellation of Partnership’s Certificate of Limited Partnership pursuant to the Act, as well as any and all other documents required to effectuate the termination of the Partnership.

ARTICLE 2

CAPITALIZATION

2.1Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Partner. Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be:

(a)increased by (i) the amount of such Partner’s cash contributions to the Partnership, (ii) the Fair Market Value of any assets contributed to the Partnership

5

by such Partner, net of liabilities secured by such assets that the Partnership is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752, and (iii) all profits and items of income or gain allocated to such Partner in accordance with ARTICLE 3; and

(b)decreased by (i) cash distributions to such Partner from the Partnership, (ii) the Fair Market Value of any assets distributed to such Partner from the Partnership, net of liabilities secured by such assets that such Partner is deemed to assume, or take subject to, under Code Section 752, and (iii) all items of deduction or loss allocated to such Partner in accordance with ARTICLE 3;

provided, however, that the Capital Accounts shall in all events be determined and maintained in accordance with the rules set forth in section 1.704-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations.

2.2Initial Capital Contributions. The total initial capital contribution by the Partners to the Partnership (the “Initial Capital Contribution”) shall be as set forth in Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made part hereof. Each Partner shall receive, as of the Effective Date, a Capital Account credit for such contribution in such amount; provided, however, that the timing of the obligation to fund the Initial Capital Contribution shall be governed by the timing provisions for the initial capital contributions set forth in the Limited Liability Limited Partnership Agreement of Ka’upulehu Makai.

2.3Additional Contributions, Loans and Withdrawals of Capital.

(a)Additional Capital Contributions.

(i)General Partner-Requested Contributions. The General Partner may, by written notice to each Partner, request additional capital contributions (“Additional Capital Contribution”) to the Partnership. Such notice shall set forth the total amount of funds required by the Partnership, the Partner’s proportionate share of such amount based on the Partner’s then existing Sharing Ratio, and the date by which the Requested Additional Capital Contribution is to be contributed, and the reason or reasons that the Partnership requires the additional funds. If approved by all Partners, which approval may be withheld in each Partner’s discretion, the Partners shall make the Requested Additional Capital Contribution by the date approved by the Partners.  No Partner shall be obligated to make any Additional Capital Contribution which the Partner did not approve.

(ii)Option to Fund Additional Capital. In the event that less than all of the Partners approve any call for additional capital by the General Partner, then the other Partners shall be given the opportunity to make the Additional Capital Contributions in the ratio of the each contributing Partner’s Sharing Ratio to the total Sharing Ratios of those Partners who are willing to make the Additional Capital Contribution multiplied by the total amount of Additional Capital Contributions being requested by the General Partner.

(iii)Contributions by New Partners. A new Partner may be admitted to the Partnership for new value in accordance with Sections 7.3 or 9.1. Any

6

new Partner shall make such capital contributions (“New Partner Capital Contributions”) to the Partnership upon its admission as a Partner as determined by the unanimous vote of the Partners in their discretion.  New Partner Capital Contributions shall be treated as Initial Capital Contributions for the purposes of Section 4.1 unless otherwise specified upon admission of the new Partner.

(iv)No Other Contribution Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 2.2, no Partner shall be required without such Partner’s consent to make any capital contributions to the Partnership on or after the Effective Date, whether on liquidation of the Partnership, by reason of a deficit Capital Account balance or otherwise.

(v)No Duty to Restore Capital Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and notwithstanding any custom or rule of law to the contrary, the deficit, if any, in the Capital Account of any Partner upon dissolution of the Partnership shall not be an asset of the Partnership and such Partner shall not be obligated to contribute such amount to the Partnership to bring the balance of such Partner’s Capital Account to zero.

(b)Loans. No Partner shall be required to lend any money to or for the benefit of the Partnership. If Partnership funds are insufficient to meet its costs, expenses, obligations or liabilities, or to make any expenditure authorized by this Agreement, any Partner may (but shall not be required to) lend all or a portion of the amount of needed funds to the Partnership. Any such loans shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, and shall be on such other terms as the General Partner and the Partner(s) making such loans may agree.

(c)Withdrawals and Interest. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any portion of its capital contribution or Capital Account balance.  Except for the priority returns provided in Section 2.3(a)(ii) above and Section 4.1 below, no Partner shall be entitled to receive any interest on the balance in such Partner’s Capital Account.

ARTICLE 3

PROFIT AND LOSS ALLOCATIONS

3.1Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a)General Rule. Profits and Losses of the Partnership shall be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their Sharing Ratios, provided that during the period Barnwell is receiving 100% of all distributions pursuant to Section 4.1(b) below, representing the return of its Initial Capital Contribution, such Profits and Losses shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to Barnwell and zero percent (0%) to the other Partners.

(b)Deficit Capital Account and Related Rules. Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a), allocations shall be made to the Partners as set forth in Treasury Regulation

7

sections 1.704-1 (b) and 1.704-2 (relating to allocations of partnership income or loss) as such regulations relate to limitations on loss allocations determined by reference to a Partner’s negative Capital Account balance for which it is not economically responsible, allocations of gross income in connection with “qualified income offsets” (such as distributions causing excess negative Capital Account balances), and allocations attributable to the presence of nonrecourse debt. If any such allocations are made which are inconsistent with the desired allocations in accordance with Sharing Ratios as described in Section 3.1(a), other items of income, gain, loss and deduction for such fiscal year and subsequent fiscal years shall be reallocated among the Partners, to the extent possible, so as to reverse the effect of any such disproportionate allocations.

(c)Change in Partners’ lnterests. If there is a change in any Partner’s share of the Partnership’s Profits, Losses or other items during any year, allocations among the Partners shall be made in accordance with their interests in the Partnership from time to time during such year in accordance with Code Section 706, using the closing of the books method, except that depreciation, amortization and similar items shall be deemed to accrue ratably on a daily basis over the entire year during which the corresponding asset is owned by the Partnership for the entire year, and over the portion of a year after such asset is placed in service by the Partnership if such asset is placed in service during the year.

3.2Tax Allocations.

(a)Generally. Except as set forth in Section 3.2(b), allocations for tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss and deduction, and credits and basis therefor, shall be made in the same manner as allocations for book purposes as set forth in Section 3.1. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3.2 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(b)Special Rules.

(i)Elimination of Book/Tax Disparities. If any Partnership property has a Carrying Value different than its adjusted tax basis to the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (whether by reason of the contribution of such property to the Partnership, the revaluation of such property hereunder, or otherwise), allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction under this Section 3.2 with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) or the principles set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(ii)Allocation of Items Among Partners. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and all other items governed by Code Section 702(a) shall be allocated among the Partners in proportion to the allocation of Profits, Losses and other items to such Partners hereunder, provided that any gain recognized from

8

any disposition of a Partnership asset which is treated as ordinary income because it is attributable to the recapture of any depreciation or amortization shall be allocated among the Partners in the same ratio as the prior allocations of Profits, Losses or other items which included such depreciation or amortization, but not in excess of the gain otherwise allocable to each such Partner.

(iii)Conformity of Reporting. The Partners are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 3.2 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.2 in reporting their shares of Partnership income, loss, credits and other items for income tax purposes, except in the case of manifest error to the Partners.

ARTICLE 4

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1Cash Flow Distributions. The Partnership shall distribute Cash Flow to the Partners as and when determined by the General Partner in the General Partner’s reasonable discretion. Distributions of Cash Flow shall be made to the Partners in the following order of priority:

(a)First, to the Partners in proportion to their Additional Capital Contributions until each Partner’s Additional Capital Contributions have been returned in full;

(b)Second, to the Partners in proportion to their Sharing Ratios, provided, however, that at such time as the aggregate distributions to the members of the Companies (as the term “Companies” is defined in Section 1.5 above) total $45 million, then the next $1 million in distributions from this Partnership to its Partners shall be distributed to the Partners in proportion to their respective Initial Capital Contributions until each Partner’s Initial Capital Contributions have been returned in full.

4.2Liquidating Distributions. Distributions to the Partners of cash or property arising from a liquidation of the Partnership shall be made in accordance with Section 10.3(d)(ii) below.

4.3Other Distributions. To the extent that cash is available to the Partnership without a requirement of borrowing or the making of Additional Capital Contributions from the Partners, the Partners intend that the Partnership make reasonable efforts to make annual distributions to compensate the Partners for any federal or state tax liability related to the Partnership’s taxable income allocated to the Partners for the prior calendar year.

ARTICLE 5

ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS

5.1Fiscal Year. The fiscal year shall be August 31st of each year.

9

5.2Method of Accounting.

5.3Books and Records and Inspection. The General Partner shall maintain full and proper ledgers and other books of account in accordance with the Act.  At all times, such ledgers, books and records and other information regarding the affairs of the Partnership shall be available at the Partnership’s principal place of business for inspection, examination, photocopying or audit by any Partner, or the duly authorized representative thereof, during reasonable business hours and upon reasonable advance notice for any purpose reasonably related to such Partner’s interest as a Partner.

(b)Partnership Tax Returns. All tax returns shall be prepared by or under the direction of the General Partner.

The General Partner shall be the tax matters partner, as that term is defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7) (the “Tax Matters Partner”)  with all of the rights, rights, duties and powers provided for in Code Section 6221 through 6232, inclusive. The Tax Matters Partner, as an authorized representative of the Partnership, shall direct the defense of any claims made by the Internal Revenue Service to the extent that such claims relate to the adjustment of Partnership items at the Partnership level and, in connection therewith, to retain and cause the Partnership to pay the fees and expenses of counsel and other advisors chosen by the Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner shall promptly deliver to each Partner a copy of all notices and communications with respect to income or similar taxes received from the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority relating to the Partnership which might

If a General Partner ceases to be a General Partner in the Partnership pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(iii), 7.2(a)(iv), 7.2(a)(v), or 7.2(a)(vii), then as of the date of such event, the General Partner shall cease to be a General Partner in the Partnership and shall instead become a Limited Partner (or solely a Limited Partner, if already a Limited Partner) in the Partnership with all of the rights and subject to all of the limitations of a Limited Partner hereunder, and shall retain its Capital Account and financial rights with respect to allocations and distributions in the manner provided in this Agreement.

7.3Admission of a New General Partner. Except as provided in ARTICLE 9, a new General Partner may be admitted to the Partnership only with the consent of all of the Partners; provided, however, that if such admission is in connection with a General Partner ceasing to be a General Partner pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(iii),

(b)gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer for no consideration (whether or not by operation of law, except in the case of bankruptcy) all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest.

9.3Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 9.2, (a) each Partner shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any immediate family members of the Partner, to any trust for the benefit of such immediate family members, or to any charitable trust controlled by the Partner, (b) each Partner may sell, give or bequeath all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest to any other Partner without restriction of any kind, and (c) each Partner may sell, give or bequeath all or any part of the Partner’s Partnership Interest to any entity owned or controlled by the Partner.

9.4Right of First Refusal.

(a)Except with respect to permitted transfers described in Section 9.3, if a Partner desires to sell all or any portion of such Partner’s Partnership Interest (the “Offered Interest”), the selling Partner shall obtain from the purchaser a bona fide written offer (the “Offer”) to purchase such interest, stating the terms and conditions upon which the purchase is to be made and the consideration offered therefor which must be payable in money. The selling Partner shall give written notification to the remaining Partners, by certified mail with return receipt requested or personal delivery, of the selling Partner’s intention to transfer the Offered Interest, furnishing to the remaining Partners a copy of the Offer.

(b)The remaining Partners, and each of them, on a basis pro rata to their Percentage Interest or on a basis pro rata to the Percentage Interest of those remaining Partners exercising their right of first refusal, may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Interest upon the same terms and conditions as stated in the Offer by giving written notification to the selling Partner, by certified mail with return receipt requested or personal delivery, of their intention to do so within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice from the selling Partner (the “Option Period”).

(c)If any one or more of the remaining Partners gives written notice to the selling Partner of their desire to exercise their right of first refusal and to purchase the Offered Interest upon the same terms and conditions as are stated in the Offer, the

Notwithstanding any provision in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary and in addition to the foregoing, in the event Borrower or any Affiliate shall violate any covenant contained in Section 2.11(a) through (g) of this Agreement, then Lender, at its sole option and upon written notice to Borrower, may increase the interest rate under the Note by one percent (1.0%) from the interest rate then in effect, and adjust the monthly payments due under the Note accordingly. If such violation is cured, then the interest rate shall be reduced to the interest rate then in effect under the provisions of the Note and the monthly payments due under the Note shall be readjusted accordingly.

Notwithstanding any provision in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary and in addition to the foregoing, in the event Borrower or any Guarantor shall violate any covenant contained in Section 2.11(h) through 2.11(1) of this Agreement, then the interest rate under the Note shall be increased, at Lender’s sole option and upon written notice to Borrower or any Guarantor, by one percent (1.0%) from the interest rate then in effect and the monthly payments due under the Note shall be adjusted accordingly. If such violation is not cured within 45 days after the increase in the interest rate, then the interest rate will be increased effective at the end of such 45 day period, at Lender’s sole option and upon written notice to Borrower or such Guarantor, by an additional one percent (1.0%) and the monthly payments due under the Note shall be adjusted accordingly. If such violation is cured, then the interest rate shall be reduced to the interest rate then in effect under the provisions of the Note and the monthly payments due under the Note shall be readjusted accordingly.

4.3       Lender’s Right of Setoff. Unless specifically addressed in the Loan Documents, at any time Lender may set off obligations owed by Lender to Borrower (such as balances in checking and savings accounts, including the Interest Reserve Account and the Pledged Account) against the amounts due under the Loan, whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred or shall have been declared, and without first resorting to other collateral securing payment of the Loan.

15

4.4       Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. No provision of this Article 4 limits the right of any party to this Agreement to exercise self-help remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal property collateral or security, or obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any arbitration or other proceeding. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration or reference. At Lender’s option, foreclosure under a deed of trust or mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale under the deed of trust or mortgage or by judicial foreclosure.

5.Miscellaneous Provisions.

5.1       No Waiver; Consents. No alleged waiver by Lender is effective unless in writing, and no waiver may be construed as a continuing waiver. No waiver is implied from any delay or failure by Lender to take action on account of any default under the Loan Documents. Consent by Lender to any act or omission by Borrower may not be construed as a consent to any other or subsequent act or omission.

5.2       No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Borrower and their successors and assigns. No trust fund is created by this Agreement and no other persons or entities have any right of action under this Agreement or any right to the Loan funds.

5.3       Notices. All notices, demands, requests, correspondence or documents which are required or permitted to be given or served hereunder shall be in writing addressed to the appropriate party and personally delivered or sent by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to Borrower or Lender at the following addresses:

To Borrower:	KKM Makai, LLLP
	KD Kona 2013 LLLP
	1100 Alakea Street, Suite 2900
	Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
To Lender:	American Savings Bank, F.S.B.
	Commercial Real Estate Loans
	P.O. Box 2300
	Honolulu, Hawaii 96804-2300

Any party may designate a different address by giving notice thereof in accordance with this paragraph. Delivery of any or demand shall be deemed completed on the date of delivery or two (2) business days after the date of mailing, as applicable.

5.4       Attorneys’ Fees. If any lawsuit, reference or arbitration is commenced which arises out of, or which relates to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Loan, including any alleged tort action, regardless of which party commences the action, the prevailing party is entitled to recover from each other party such sums as the court, referee or arbitrator may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees in the action or proceeding, in addition to costs and expenses otherwise allowed by law. Any such attorneys’ fees incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Agreement are recoverable separately from and in

16

addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and such attorneys’ fees obligations are intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment. In all other situations, including any bankruptcy or other voluntary or involuntary proceeding, in or out of court, for the adjustment of debtor-creditor relationships, Borrower agrees to pay all of Lender’s costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, which may be incurred in any effort to collect or enforce the Loan or any part of it or any term of any Loan Document. Attorneys’ fees include the allocated costs for services of in-house counsel.

5.5       Loan Not Assumable. It is expressly understood by Borrower that the Loan is personal to Borrower and may not be assumed by any other person or entity.

5.6       Assignment of Loan. Lender may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and further may assign, or sell participations in, all or any part of the Loan, the Loan Documents, or any other interest herein or in the Note to any person or entity, all without notice to or the consent of Borrower or any co-makers or guarantors. To the extent of any such assignment, Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to the Loan and the assignee shall have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were Lender hereunder and a holder of the Note. Without the consent of or notice to Borrower, Lender may furnish any information (including, without limitation, financial information) concerning the Loan, the collateral for the Loan, or Borrower, any Affiliates, and any of their assets to third parties from time to time for legitimate business purposes.

5.7       Successors and Assigns. The terms of this Agreement shall bind and benefit the heirs, personal representatives, successors, successors in trust and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole discretion for any reason or no reason.

5.8       Interpretation. The language of this Agreement must be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party. The word “include(s)” means “include(s), without limitation,” and the word “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

5.9       Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed by the parties. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Agreement in no way affects any other provision. If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, each is jointly and severally liable to Lender for the faithful performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of and decisions of the State of Hawaii and the United States of America and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including without limitation the federal laws, rules and regulations for federal savings and loan associations and federal savings banks. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which is, for all purposes deemed an original and all such counterparts taken together, constitute one and the same instrument.

17

5.10     Integration and Relation to Loan Commitment. The Loan Documents fully state all of the terms and conditions of the parties’ agreement regarding the matters mentioned in or incidental to this Agreement. The Loan Documents supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings concerning the subject matter of the Loan Documents.

5.11     Actions. Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to commence, appear in, and defend any action or proceeding which might affect its security or its rights, duties or liabilities relating to the Loan, the Property, or any of the Loan Documents. Borrower must pay promptly on demand all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and legal fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel incurred in those actions or proceedings.

5.12     Relationships with Other Lender Customers. From time to time, Lender may have business relationships with Borrower’s customers, suppliers, contractors, tenants, partners, shareholders, officers or directors, with businesses offering products or services similar to those of Borrower, or with persons seeking to invest in, borrow from or lend to Borrower. Borrower agrees that in no event is Lender obligated to disclose to Borrower any information concerning any other Lender customer. Borrower further agrees that Lender may extend credit to those parties and may take any action it may deem necessary to collect any such credit, regardless of any effect the extension or collection of such credit may have on Borrower’s financial condition or operations.

5.13     Loan Commission. Lender is not obligated to pay any brokerage commission or fee in connection with or arising out of the Loan. Borrower must pay any and all brokerage commissions or fees arising out of or in connection with the Loan and Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender against any claim for any such fees or commissions.

5.14     Standard of Conduct. Nothing contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Accommodation Mortgage or any other Loan Document shall limit the right of Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any consent required under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise, in a subjective manner, whether or not “objectively” reasonable under the circumstances, as long as Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action, as the case may be, is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower and Lender intend by the foregoing to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.

5.15     Counterparts. This document may be executed in counterparts. Each counterpart shall be executed by one or more of the parties to this document and the several counterparts shall constitute one document to the same effect as though the signature of all the parties were upon the same document.

5.16     Jury Waiver. Lender and Borrower hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, claim, or counterclaim, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity, arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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), a 75%-owned land investment partnership (KD Kona 2013 LLLP) and two 80%-owned joint ventures (Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP and Kaupulehu Investors, LLC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Barnwell’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities (“VIE”) 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

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 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, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 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 December 31, 2013, results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and equity for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits for interest reserve and collateral for our land investment loan.

Equity Method Investments

Equity Method Investments

Affiliated companies, which are limited partnerships or similar entities, in which Barnwell holds more than a 3 to 5% ownership interest, are accounted for as equity method investments. Equity method investment adjustments include Barnwell’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, adjustments to recognize certain differences between Barnwell’s carrying value and Barnwell’s equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold.

Investments in equity method investees are evaluated for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amounts of the impairment losses, if any. When an impairment test demonstrates that the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying value, management will determine whether the impairment is either temporary or other-than-temporary. Examples of factors which may be indicative of an other-than-temporary impairment include (i) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (iii) the intent and ability to retain the investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is determined by management to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to its estimated fair value as of the balance sheet date of the reporting period in which the assessment is made.

Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

The consolidation of VIEs is required when an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is therefore the VIE’s primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is primary beneficiary, may require significant judgment.

Barnwell analyzes its unconsolidated affiliates in which it has an investment to determine whether the unconsolidated entities are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a qualitative review based on an evaluation of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability and financial agreements, as well as a quantitative review. At December 31, 2013, our unconsolidated affiliates that have been determined to be VIEs are accounted under the equity method because we do not have a controlling financial interest and are therefore not the VIE’s primary beneficiary (see Note 5).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU effective October 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU impacted the presentation of Barnwell’s accumulated other comprehensive income footnote disclosures.

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax benefit rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was 6% and 17%, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax losses due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

	2013				2012
Share-based compensation benefit		$	(175,000	)		$	(32,000	)
Income tax effect		$	-			$	-

Share-based compensation benefit recognized in loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are reflected in “General and administrative” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impact on income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $119,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share options. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3.9 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $2.04 (no options were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2012).

Equity-classified Awards

In December 2013, Barnwell granted non-qualified options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of Barnwell’s stock on the date of grant, that vest annually over four years of continuous service, and that expire ten years from the date of grant.

The following assumptions were used in estimating fair value for equity-classified share options granted in the three months ended December 31, 2013:

Expected volatility	55.6%
Expected dividends	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	10
Risk-free interest rate	3.0%
Expected forfeitures	None

The application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation, and consequently, the related costs reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A summary of the activity in Barnwell’s equity-classified share options from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 is presented below:

						Weighted-
						Average
			Weighted-			Remaining
			Average			Contractual		Aggregate

Exercisable at December 31, 2013		60,000		$	8.62		0.9		$	-

Total share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards vested in the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2,000 and $0, respectively.

Liability-classified Awards

In December 2013, Barnwell granted non-qualified options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of Barnwell’s stock on the date of grant, that vest annually over four years of continuous service, and that expire ten years from the date of grant. The non-qualified options have stock appreciation rights features that permit the holder to receive stock, cash or a combination thereof equal to the amount by which the fair market value, at the time of exercise of the option, exceeds the option price.

The following assumptions were used in estimating fair value for all liability-classified share options outstanding:

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013	2012
Expected volatility range	49.4% to 62.6%	32.6% to 66.1%
Weighted-average volatility	56.5%	59.0%
Expected dividends	0.0%	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	0.9 to 10.0	0.2 to 7.0
Risk-free interest rate	0.1% to 3.0%	0.1% to 1.2%
Expected forfeitures	None	None

The application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation, and consequently, the related costs reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

A summary of the activity in Barnwell’s liability-classified share options from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 is presented below:

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

2. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Barnwell stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 837,250 and 807,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to the net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders.

Reconciliations between net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders and common shares outstanding of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations are detailed in the following tables:

	Three months ended December 31, 2013
	Net Loss				Shares		Per-Share

Canadian revolving credit facility

Barnwell has a credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada, a Canadian bank, for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, or US$18,804,000 at the December 31, 2013 exchange rate. Unused credit available under this facility was US$6,804,000 and the interest rate on the facility was 2.66% at December 31, 2013.

Under the financing agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2014. Subject to that review, the facility may be renewed for one year with no required debt repayments or converted to a two-year term loan by the bank. If the facility is converted to a two-year term loan, Barnwell has agreed to the following repayment schedule of the then outstanding loan balance: first year of the term period – 20% (5% per quarter), and in the second year of the term period – 80% (5% per quarter for the first three quarters and 65% in the final quarter). Based on the terms of this agreement, if Royal Bank of Canada were to convert the facility to a two-year term loan upon its next review in April 2014, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2014. As such, two quarterly repayments of 5% each would be due within one year of December 31, 2013 and accordingly, we have included $1,200,000, representing 10% of the outstanding loan balance at December 31, 2013, in the current portion of long-term debt.

Real estate loan

Barnwell, together with its real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule. The monthly payment will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of the house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at December 31, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018.

The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of the house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio.

The home collateralizing the loan is currently available for sale; therefore, the entire balance outstanding at December 31, 2013 under the term loan has been classified as a current liability.

Land investment loan

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through affiliated entities, entered into a non-revolving loan with a Hawaii bank for $5,000,000 and borrowed approximately $4,186,000 on the loan to partially fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs. In January 2014, an additional $814,000 was borrowed on the loan to partially fund the remainder of the acquisition price, bringing the total borrowings under the land investment loan to the facility maximum of $5,000,000.

The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, and accrues interest for the first year at 4.5% and resets annually thereafter to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or to the lender’s base rate plus 0.50%. The interest rate at December 31, 2013 was 4.50%. Principal payments are due on the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, upon the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s residential parcels and on receipt of cash distributions from the land development partnerships. Additionally, Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment of $1,400,000 upon the sale of the real estate held for sale; therefore, $1,400,000 has been classified as a current liability.

The loan is collateralized by Kaupulehu Developments’ rights to percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, a second mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon, the interest in the land development partnerships and any distributions from the partnerships, a $1,000,000 interest reserve account and a $1,000,000 pledged deposit account. Barnwell is a guarantor of the loan.

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio.

Investment in two residential parcels

Kaupulehu 2007 owns two residential parcels in the Lot 4A Increment I area located in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, north of Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka`upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean.

Investment in land development partnerships

On November 27, 2013, Barnwell, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into two limited liability limited partnerships, KD Kona 2013 LLLP and KKM Makai, LLLP, and indirectly acquired a 19.6% ownership interest in each WB Kukio Resorts, LLC, WB Maniniowali, LLC, and WB Kaupulehu, LLC for $5,140,000. These entities 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. WB Kaupulehu, LLC, which is comprised of WB KD Acquisition, LLC (“WB”) and WB KD Acquisition II, LLC (“WBKD”), is the developer of Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the area in which Barnwell has interests in percentage of sales payments. Barnwell’s investment in these entities is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The limited liability limited partnership agreements provide for a priority return of Barnwell’s investment prior to profit distributions. Net profits, losses and cash flows of the partnerships are allocated to Barnwell and the other partners at varying percentages based on whether the initial and any additional capital contributions have been repaid to the investors. For the period from the acquisition date, November 27, 2013, to December 31, 2013, Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $147,000.

Barnwell, through affiliated entities, borrowed approximately $4,140,000 on the acquisition date under a new bank loan to partially fund the acquisition. In January 2014, Barnwell paid an additional $1,000,000, of which approximately $814,000 was borrowed under the new bank loan, to fund the remainder of the acquisition price. This amount is accrued under the caption “Payable to affiliate” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013.

The initial accounting for the acquisition by the general partner of the investees is incomplete as the general partner is currently in the process of performing an acquisition date audit. As such, we are unable to determine the amount, if any, of the basis difference between the underlying equity in net assets of the investee land development partnerships and the carrying value of Barnwell’s investment as a limited partner.

Barnwell, as well as WB and certain other owners of the partnership, have jointly and severally executed a surety indemnification agreement. Bonds issued by the surety at December 31, 2013 totaled approximately $4,700,000 and relate to certain construction contracts of WB. If any such performance bonds are called, we may be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond as Barnwell, WB and certain other owners are jointly and severally liable, however we believe that it is remote that a material amount of any currently outstanding performance bonds will be called. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates. Rather, the performance bonds are released as the underlying performance is completed.

As of December 31, 2013, Barnwell’s maximum loss exposure as a result of its investment in the land development partnerships was $9,693,000, consisting of the carrying value of the investment of $4,993,000 and $4,700,000 from the surety indemnification agreement of which we are jointly and severally liable.

Summarized financial information for the land development partnerships is as follows for the period of November 27, 2013 to December 31, 2013:

Revenue	$	269,000
Gross profit	$	211,000
Loss from operations	$	(386,000	)
Net loss	$	(381,000	)

Percentage of sales payments

Kaupulehu Developments has the right to receive payments resulting from the sale of lots and/or residential units within approximately 870 acres of the Kaupulehu Lot 4A area in two increments (“Increment I” and “Increment II”).

The following table summarizes the Increment I percentage of sales payment revenues received during the three months ended December 31, 2013 (no amounts were received during the three months ended December 31, 2012). This sale occurred prior to our purchase of an ownership interest in the land development partnerships:

7. RETIREMENT PLANS

Barnwell sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, Barnwell sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan which covers certain current and former employees of Barnwell for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Pension Plan, and a postretirement medical insurance benefits plan (“Postretirement Medical”) covering eligible U.S. employees.

The following table details the components of net periodic benefit cost for Barnwell’s retirement plans:

	Pension Plan						SERP							Postretirement Medical
	Three months ended December 31,
	2013			2012				2013			2012				2013			2012

Interest cost	85,000			75,000				16,000			14,000				13,000			12,000
Expected return on plan assets	(105,000		)	(97,000		)		-			-				-			-
Amortization of prior service cost (credit)	1,000			1,000				(1,000		)	(1,000		)		3,000			34,000
Amortization of net actuarial loss (gain)	9,000			26,000				1,000			5,000				(5,000		)	-
Net periodic benefit cost	$	49,000		$	73,000			$	28,000		$	31,000			$	14,000		$	50,000

Barnwell estimates that it will make approximately $600,000 in contributions to the Pension Plan during fiscal 2014. The SERP and Postretirement Medical plans are unfunded, and Barnwell will fund benefits when payments are made. Barnwell does not expect to make any benefit payments under the Postretirement Medical plan during fiscal 2014 and expected payments under the SERP for fiscal 2014 are not material. 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.

As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $781,000 and $783,000, respectively, which have not been discounted, were accrued in “Accrued operating and other expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts accrued represent the estimated liability for probable environmental remediation costs for soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate the currently identified sites, and sites identified in the future, if any, could be incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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), a 75%-owned land investment partnership (KD Kona 2013 LLLP) and two 80%-owned joint ventures (Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP and Kaupulehu Investors, LLC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Barnwell’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities (“VIE”) 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 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, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2013 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 December 31, 2013, results of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and equity for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 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 most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of deposits for interest reserve and collateral for our land investment loan.

Equity Method Investments

Affiliated companies, which are limited partnerships or similar entities, in which Barnwell holds more than a 3 to 5% ownership interest, are accounted for as equity method investments. Equity method investment adjustments include Barnwell’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, adjustments to recognize certain differences between Barnwell’s carrying value and Barnwell’s equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold.

Investments in equity method investees are evaluated for impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying amounts of the assets exceed their respective fair values, additional impairment tests are performed to measure the amounts of the impairment losses, if any. When an impairment test demonstrates that the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying value, management will determine whether the impairment is either temporary or other-than-temporary. Examples of factors which may be indicative of an other-than-temporary impairment include (i) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (iii) the intent and ability to retain the investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. If the decline in fair value is determined by management to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to its estimated fair value as of the balance sheet date of the reporting period in which the assessment is made.

Variable Interest Entities

The consolidation of VIEs is required when an enterprise has a controlling financial interest and is therefore the VIE’s primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is primary beneficiary, may require significant judgment.

Barnwell analyzes its unconsolidated affiliates in which it has an investment to determine whether the unconsolidated entities are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. This analysis includes a qualitative review based on an evaluation of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability and financial agreements, as well as a quantitative review. At December 31, 2013, our unconsolidated affiliates that have been determined to be VIEs are accounted under the equity method because we do not have a controlling financial interest and are therefore not the VIE’s primary beneficiary (see Note 5).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU effective October 1, 2013. The adoption of this ASU impacted the presentation of Barnwell’s accumulated other comprehensive income footnote disclosures.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the terms approximate current market terms for similar debt instruments of comparable risk and maturities.
