BARNWELL INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barnwell Industries, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Barnwell,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), including a 77.6%-owned land investment general partnership (Kaupulehu Developments), 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 June 30, 2014, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2014 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 (a) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (b) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (c) 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 June 30, 2014, 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 777,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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:

3.         SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

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

	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	June 30,							June 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
Share-based compensation benefit		$	(19,000	)	$	(77,000	)	$	(209,000	)	$	(118,000	)
Income tax effect		$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-

Share-based compensation benefit recognized in losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are reflected in “General and administrative” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impact on income taxes for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

12

As of June 30, 2014, there was $89,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share options. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3.4 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.04 (no options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2014 or during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013).

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 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014:

Expected volatility	55.6%
Expected dividends	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	10.0
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 June 30, 2014 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

Outstanding at June 30, 2014		90,000			$	6.75		3.4	$	-
Exercisable at June 30, 2014		60,000			$	8.62		0.4	$	-

Total share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards vested in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $8,000 and $18,000, respectively. There was no share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards in the prior year periods.

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:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Expected volatility range	34.1% to 57.1%	49.8% to 64.4%
Weighted-average volatility	50.1%	60.0%
Expected dividends	0.0%	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	0.4 to 9.5	1.4 to 6.5
Risk-free interest rate	0.1% to 2.5%	0.3% to 1.9%
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 June 30, 2014 is presented below:

							Weighted-
							Average
				Weighted-			Remaining
				Average			Contractual		Aggregate

4.         REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP (“Kaupulehu 2007”) currently owns one luxury residence that is available for sale 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.

5.INVESTMENTS

A summary of Barnwell’s investments is as follows:

	June 30,		September 30,
	2014		2013
Investment in two residential parcels	$	2,331,000	$	2,331,000
Investment in land development partnerships	4,764,000		-
Investment in leasehold land interest – Lot 4C	50,000		50,000
Total investments	$	7,145,000	$	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, through affiliated entities, borrowed $5,000,000 under a new bank loan to fund the acquisition. Barnwell’s investment in these entities is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

15

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.

The initial accounting for the acquisition by the controlling general partner of the investees is incomplete as the general partner is currently in the process of performing an acquisition date audit. Based on the investees’ unaudited financial statements from the general partner, Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $113,000 and $376,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The adjustment to the estimated basis difference between the underlying equity in net assets of the investees and the carrying value of Barnwell’s investment as a limited partner as a result of activity during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, based on the unaudited information from the investees, was not material. The unaudited financial information for the investees from the general partner is subject to change upon completion of the audit and the change could have a material impact on Barnwell’s reported results of operations.

Barnwell, as well as WB, WBKD and certain other owners of the partnerships, have jointly and severally executed a surety indemnification agreement. Bonds issued by the surety at June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $5,400,000 and relate to certain construction contracts of WB and WBKD. If any such performance bonds are called, we may be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond as Barnwell, WB, WBKD 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 June 30, 2014, Barnwell’s maximum loss exposure as a result of its investment in the land development partnerships was $10,164,000, consisting of the carrying value of the investment of $4,764,000 and $5,400,000 from the surety indemnification agreement of which we are jointly and severally liable.

Summarized financial information for the land development partnerships is as follows:

	Three months ended		November 27, 2013 -
	June 30, 2014		June 30, 2014
Revenue	$	2,499,000	$	4,121,000
Gross profit	$	1,410,000	$	3,003,000
Loss from operations	$	(431,000)	$	(1,259,000)
Net loss	$	(417,000)	$	(1,226,000)

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”) (see Note 15).

16

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

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	June 30,					June 30,
	2014			2013		2014			2013
Sale of interest in leasehold land:
Proceeds	$	300,000		$	-	$	440,000		$	300,000
Fees	(42,000		)	-		(62,000		)	(18,000		)
Revenues – sale of interest in leasehold land, net	$	258,000		$	-	$	378,000		$	282,000

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:

	June 30,			September 30,
	2014			2013
Canadian revolving credit facility	$	7,000,000		$	12,000,000
Real estate loan	4,235,000			4,640,000
Land investment loan	4,799,000			-
	16,034,000			16,640,000
Less: current portion	(5,635,000		)	(5,240,000		)
Total long-term debt	$	10,399,000		$	11,400,000

Canadian revolving credit facility

On April 29, 2014, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was amended and renewed. The amendment, among other things, provides for a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $11,800,000 Canadian dollars, or US$11,053,000 at the June 30, 2014 exchange rate, from $20,000,000 Canadian dollars. A portion of the decrease in the facility contemplates the decrease in security resulting from the sales of oil and natural gas properties discussed in Note 14. The other material terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

Borrowings under this facility were $7,000,000 at June 30, 2014 and unused credit available was $3,924,000 after consideration of issued letters of credit totaling $129,000. The interest rate on the facility at June 30, 2014 was 2.65%.

The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance. Under the financing agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, the facility is reviewed annually,

17

with the next review planned for April 2015. 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 2015, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2015. As no debt repayments will be required on or before June 30, 2015, the entire outstanding loan balance at June 30, 2014 is classified as long-term debt.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell realized a foreign currency transaction gain of $271,000, which was due to the repayment of $5,000,000 of the U.S. dollar denominated credit facility using Canadian dollars.

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 June 30, 2014 was 3.41%. 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 June 30, 2014 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 to fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs.

The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, accrues interest for the first year at 4.50% 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 June 30, 2014 was 4.50%. Principal payments are due upon the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s residential parcels and the receipt of cash distributions from the land development partnerships. Additionally, Barnwell will be required to make a principal payment of $1,400,000 upon the sale of the house currently available for sale; therefore, $1,400,000 has been classified as a current liability.

18

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, an $892,000 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.

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

	Pension Plan						SERP						Postretirement Medical
	Three months ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013			2014			2013

Amortization of prior service cost (credit)	4,000			4,000			(4,000		)	(4,000		)	9,000			102,000
Amortization of net actuarial loss (gain)	15,000			77,000			4,000			15,000			(15,000		)	-
Net periodic benefit cost	$	56,000		$	219,000		$	85,000		$	94,000		$	43,000		$	150,000

Barnwell contributed $350,000 to the Pension Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and does not expect to make any further contributions during the remainder of 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 income (loss) before income taxes, after adjusting the income (loss) for non-controlling interests, are as follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
United States	$	(710,000	)	$	(1,428,000	)	$	(2,949,000	)	$	(3,730,000	)
Canada	705,000			254,000			2,121,000			(4,470,000		)
	$	(5,000	)	$	(1,174,000	)	$	(828,000	)	$	(8,200,000	)

The components of the income tax provision (benefit) are as follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Current	$	344,000		$	(409,000	)	$	887,000		$	(65,000	)
Deferred	(133,000		)	460,000			(225,000		)	(1,220,000		)
	$	211,000		$	51,000		$	662,000		$	(1,285,000	)

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax results 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.

In May 2014, the Canada Revenue Agency notified Barnwell that the examination of Barnwell’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011 was completed with no adjustments.

The amortization of accumulated other comprehensive loss components for the retirement plans are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost which is a component of “General and administrative” expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (see Note 7 for additional details).

11.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, 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 June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $555,000 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.

Guarantee

Capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas exploration and development decreased $1,329,000 and increased $1,259,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas asset retirement obligations increased $58,000 and $48,000, respectively.

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 limitations at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $4,506,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Reduction of carrying value of assets.”

24

In February 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil properties located in the Mantario area of Saskatchewan, Canada. The purchase price, which includes customary purchase price adjustments in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014, was $2,726,000.

In April 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil and gas properties located in the Chauvin, Cessford and Rat Creek areas of Alberta, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $4,596,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of March 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $2,298,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

In May 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in certain oil and gas properties located in the Boundary Lake area of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $6,163,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $3,151,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell also sold miscellaneous oil and natural gas properties for proceeds of $692,000, of which $280,000 was withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

In accordance with full cost method rules, property sales are credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs. No gain or loss was recognized as these unplanned sales to multiple counterparties in unrelated transactions did not individually result in a significant alteration of the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

Total proceeds received from sales of oil and natural gas properties during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $8,448,000. The total amount of proceeds withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency, which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $5,729,000 at June 30, 2014.

15.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Kaupulehu Developments is entitled to receive a percentage of the gross receipts from the sales of single-family residential lots in Increment I from WB, a land development partnership in which Barnwell holds a 19.6% ownership interest accounted for under the equity method of investment. The percentage payments are part of a 2004 transaction where Kaupulehu Developments sold its leasehold interest in Increment I to WB, which was prior to Barnwell’s affiliation with WB which commenced on November 27, 2013, the acquisition date of our ownership interest in the land development partnerships.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell received a $300,000 percentage of sales payment from WB from the sale of one lot in Increment I. All other lot sales reflected in the financial statements occurred prior to our purchase of ownership interests in the land development partnerships.

16.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 25, 2014, Barnwell received $2,640,000, with an additional $80,000 to be received pending the sale of an interest in a related utility, for our 80% share of the sale of Kaupulehu Investors, LLC’s 1.5% passive minority interests in Hualalai Investors JV, LLC and Hualalai Investors II, LLC, owners of Hualalai Resort, and 1.5% passive minority interest in Kona Village Investors, LLC, owner of Kona Village Resort, to an independent third party.

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 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2014. 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.

27

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.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This ASU relates to discontinued operations reporting for disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The standard expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and

28

uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, using one of two retrospective application methods. Early application is not permitted. Barnwell is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this update will have on the 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.

29

·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 $216,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a $1,009,000 increase in operating results from a net loss of $1,225,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The following factors affected the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period:

·A $206,000 increase in oil and natural gas segment operating profit, before taxes, primarily resulting from higher prices received for all products and increases in natural gas and natural gas liquids net production offset by the impact of lower net production for oil;

·A $411,000 increase in contract drilling operating results, before taxes, primarily resulting from increased water well drilling activity;

·A $258,000 increase in land investment segment operating profit, before taxes, due to a percentage of sales receipt in the current year period; and

·A $223,000 foreign currency transaction gain in the current year period, which was due to the repayment of the U.S. dollar denominated credit facility using Canadian dollars.

30

Barnwell incurred a net loss of $1,490,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, a $5,425,000 increase in operating results from a net loss of $6,915,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. The following factors affected the results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the prior year period:

·There was a reduction of the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties of $4,506,000, before taxes, in the prior year period and there was no such reduction in the nine month period ended June 30, 2014;

·A $1,938,000 increase in oil and natural gas segment operating profit, before the prior year reduction in carrying value of assets and taxes, primarily resulting from higher prices received for all products, increased natural gas net production and costs incurred in the prior year period to remediate soil contamination issues partially offset by lower net production for oil and natural gas liquids;

·An $845,000 increase in contract drilling operating results, before taxes, primarily resulting from increased water well drilling activity drilling; and

·A $271,000 foreign currency transaction gain in the current year period, which was due to the repayment of the U.S. dollar denominated credit facility using Canadian dollars.

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% and 7% in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, and the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar decreased 4% at June 30, 2014, 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 income due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $356,000, a $1,223,000 change from other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, of $867,000 for the same period in the prior year. Other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,345,000, a $492,000 change from other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, of $1,837,000 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

Oil and natural gas revenues decreased $155,000 (3%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, due to a 43% decrease in net oil production, partially offset by the impact of higher prices for all products and an 84% increase in natural gas production due to negative impacts on the prior year period’s natural gas production resulting from a gas plant and pipeline shutdown at Dunvegan and significant royalty allowance adjustments by the Government of Alberta.

32

Production was impacted by divestitures of certain oil and natural gas properties in the current year. The decrease in production for the three months ended June 30, 2014 attributable to the divested assets, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was approximately 13,000 Bbls for oil and approximately 19,000 Mcf for natural gas.

The decrease in natural gas production due to divestures was more than offset by increases in production as there was no Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown in the current year period while there was in May and June of the prior year period. The shutdown reduced prior year period natural gas production by approximately 74,000 Mcf and net natural gas liquids production by approximately 4,000 Bbls. Net natural gas production in the prior year period was further reduced by approximately 200,000 Mcf due to an adjustment of natural gas royalty allowances by the Government of Alberta related mainly to non-operated properties. The royalty adjustment in the current year period was insignificant.

Oil and natural gas revenues increased $324,000 (2%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher prices for all products partially offset by 17% and 12% decreases in oil and natural gas liquids net production, respectively.

Production was impacted by divestitures of certain oil and natural gas properties in the nine months ended June 30, 2014 as well as by natural declines in production from older properties. The decrease in production attributable to the divested assets for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, was approximately 15,000 Bbls for oil and approximately 21,000 Mcf for natural gas.

The decrease in natural gas production due to divestures was more than offset by increases in production as there was no Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown in the current year period while there was in May and June of the prior year period. The shutdown reduced prior year period net natural gas production by approximately 74,000 Mcf and net natural gas liquids production by approximately 4,000 Bbls.

Net natural gas production in the prior year period was further reduced by approximately 200,000 Mcf due to an adjustment of natural gas royalty allowances by the Government of Alberta, related mainly to non-operated properties, while higher royalty rates in the current year period due to higher natural gas prices, as compared to the same period in the prior year, largely offset this adjustment.

Oil and natural gas operating expenses

Oil and natural gas operating expenses decreased $295,000 (12%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due a 6% decrease in the average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar that decreased oil and natural gas operating expenses by $139,000 and lower volumes produced, partially offset by a decrease in equalization credits received from non-operated properties of $173,000 for previously allocated operating expenses.

Oil and natural gas operating expenses decreased $674,000 (9%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to $735,000 of estimated costs that were incurred in the prior year period to remediate soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties, a 7% decrease in the average

33

exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar that decreased oil and natural gas operating expenses $485,000 from that of the prior year period and lower volumes produced. These decreases were partially offset by increased repair and maintenance costs in the current year period which are trending higher as the average age of our properties increases and a decrease in equalization credits received from non-operated properties of $368,000 for previously allocated operating expenses. 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

Kaupulehu Developments is entitled to receive a percentage of the gross receipts from the sales of single-family residential lots in Increment I from WB, a land development partnership in which Barnwell holds a 19.6% ownership interest accounted for under the equity method of investment. The percentage payments are part of a 2004 transaction where Kaupulehu Developments sold its leasehold interest in Increment I to WB, which was prior to Barnwell’s affiliation with WB which commenced on November 27, 2013, the acquisition date of our ownership interest in the land development partnerships.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell received a $300,000 percentage of sales payment from WB from the sale of one lot in Increment I. All other lot sales reflected below occurred prior to our purchase of ownership interests in the land development partnerships.

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

	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	June 30,							June 30,
	2014				2013			2014				2013
Sale of interest in leasehold land:
Proceeds		$	300,000			$	-		$	440,000			$	300,000
Fees		(42,000		)		-			(62,000		)		(18,000		)
Revenues – sale of interest in leasehold land, net		$	258,000			$	-		$	378,000			$	282,000

WB sold one and two single family lots in Increment I during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and one single-family lot in Increment I during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No lots were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014, two of the lots have 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 $1,300,000 (524%) and $901,000 (246%), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The contract drilling segment generated a $201,000 operating profit before general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase in operating results of $411,000 as compared to the $210,000 operating loss generated during the same period of the prior year. Contract drilling revenues and contract drilling costs increased $2,807,000 (168%) and $2,041,000 (125%), respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The contract drilling segment generated a $571,000 operating profit before general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended June 30, 2014, an increase in operating results of $845,000 as compared to the $274,000 operating loss generated during the same period of the prior year. The increases in operating results were primarily due to increased water well drilling activity.

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.

Gas processing and other

Included in gas processing and other income were foreign currency transaction gains of $223,000 and $271,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, from the repayment of U.S. dollar denominated debt using Canadian dollars. There were no such gains in the prior year periods.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased $261,000 (12%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $150,000 in retirement plan expense and a $124,000 increase in administrative expense reimbursements from oil and natural gas joint venture partners.

General and administrative expenses decreased $305,000 (5%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $274,000 in retirement plan expense.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization decreased $76,000 (6%) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 17% decrease in the depletion rate as a result of the recent divestitures of certain oil and natural gas properties and a 6% decrease in the average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar partially offset by a 22% increase in net production.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization decreased $1,019,000 (16%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 7% decrease in the average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar, a 6% decrease in net production and a 4% decrease in the depletion rate.

35

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 limitations at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $4,506,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014.

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. Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $113,000 and $376,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $19,000 (13%) and $78,000 (18%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the increase in average outstanding debt balances and average interest rates as a result of the land investment loan which Barnwell obtained on November 27, 2013.

Income taxes

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was (4220%) and (80%), respectively, as compared to (4%) and 16% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax results 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.

36

In May 2014, the Canada Revenue Agency notified the Company that the examination of the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011 was completed with no adjustments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Barnwell’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations and land investment segment proceeds. At June 30, 2014, Barnwell had $10,255,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $11,168,000 in working capital.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operations totaled $4,487,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $3,864,000 for the same period in the prior year. This $623,000 increase was primarily due to higher contract drilling segment operating results in the current period.

Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $274,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $3,230,000 used in investing activities during the same period of the prior year. The $3,504,000 increase was primarily due to proceeds of $8,448,000 received from the sale of oil and natural gas properties partially offset by a $5,140,000 payment to acquire interests in the land development partnerships.

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $2,341,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $232,000 for the same period in the prior year. The $2,109,000 increase in cash used was primarily due to a $4,718,000 increase in debt repayments partially offset by a $4,497,000 increase in proceeds from debt borrowings due to the land investment loan which was obtained on November 27, 2013. Additionally, there was a $1,892,000 increase in restricted cash, which includes an interest reserve account and a pledged deposit account related to the land investment loan.

Credit Arrangements

On April 29, 2014, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was amended and renewed.  The amendment, among other things, provides for a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $11,800,000 Canadian dollars, or US$11,053,000 at the June 30, 2014 exchange rate of 0.9367, from $20,000,000 Canadian dollars. A portion of the decrease in the facility contemplates the decrease in security resulting from the sales of oil and natural gas properties discussed below in “Oil and Natural Gas Properties.” The other material terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell realized a foreign currency transaction gain of $271,000, which was due to the repayment of $5,000,000 of the U.S. dollar denominated credit facility using Canadian dollars.

Borrowings under this facility were $7,000,000 at June 30, 2014 and unused credit available was $3,924,000 after consideration of issued letters of credit totaling $129,000. The interest rate on the facility at June 30, 2014 was 2.65%. The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance.

37

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 June 30, 2014 was 3.41%. 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 to fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs. The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, accrues interest for the first year at 4.50% 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, an $892,000 interest reserve account and a $1,000,000 pledged deposit account. Barnwell is a guarantor of the loan. Principal payments are due upon the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s real estate held for sale and residential parcels and the 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 Capital Expenditures

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell did not participate in the drilling of any wells. During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell participated in the drilling of two gross (1.2 net) development wells in Canada, however both wells were part of the oil assets in the Mantario area of Saskatchewan, Canada which were sold on February 20, 2014 as discussed further below in “Oil and Natural Gas Properties.” Barnwell’s oil and natural gas capital expenditures, including accrued capital expenditures, totaled $2,111,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $4,856,000 for the same period in the prior year.

Management expects that oil and natural gas capital expenditures, exclusive of the acquisition of proved properties, in fiscal 2014 will range from $2,700,000 to $3,000,000 and capital expenditures for the acquisition of proved properties could be up to $10,000,000. This estimated amount may increase or decrease as dictated by cash flows, negotiations with third parties and management’s assessment of the oil and natural gas environment and prospects.

38

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.

Oil and Natural Gas Properties

In February 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil properties located in the Mantario area of Saskatchewan, Canada. The purchase price, which includes customary purchase price adjustments in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014, was $2,726,000. Net oil production from Mantario was approximately 16,000 barrels of oil equivalent (“Boe”), or approximately 3% of total net oil and natural gas production, for the year ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, estimated net proved oil reserves volumes associated with this property was 35,000 Boe, or approximately 1% of the total reserve volumes at that date.

In April 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil and gas properties located in the Chauvin, Cessford and Rat Creek areas of Alberta, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $4,596,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of March 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $2,298,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in Accounts and other receivables at June 30, 2014. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell. Net oil and natural gas production from these properties was approximately 24,000 Boe, or approximately 4% of total net oil and natural gas production, for the year ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes associated with these properties was 132,000 Boe, or approximately 5% of the total reserve volumes at that date.

In May 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in certain oil and gas properties located in the Boundary Lake area of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $6,163,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $3,151,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in Accounts and other receivables at June 30, 2014. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell. Net oil and natural gas production from Boundary Lake was approximately 43,000 Boe, or approximately 7% of total net oil and natural gas production, for the year ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes associated with this property was 228,000 Boe, or approximately 8% of the total reserve volumes at that date.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell also sold miscellaneous oil and natural gas properties for proceeds of $692,000, of which $280,000 was withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale

39

which is included in Accounts and other receivables at June 30, 2014. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

In accordance with full cost method rules, property sales are credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs. No gain or loss was recognized as these unplanned sales to multiple counterparties in unrelated transactions did not individually result in a significant alteration of the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

Total proceeds received from sales of oil and natural gas properties during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $8,448,000. The total amount of proceeds withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency, which is included in Accounts and other receivables, was $5,729,000 at June 30, 2014.

Barnwell intends to use the proceeds from these transactions to fund future investments in oil and gas properties and interests, reduce debt and for other corporate opportunities.

Other Considerations

We believe our sources of funds such as current cash and working capital balances, available credit, future operating cash flows and land investment segment proceeds 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 level of borrowings under the facility upon the April 2015 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 sustained 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 success of the Company in the investment of its current financial resources, as well as 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.

40

As of June 30, 2014, 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 June 30, 2014 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.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Barnwell’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 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;

· the adverse impact on overall profitability if the entities do not achieve the financial results projected;

· the reallocation of amounts of capital from other operating initiatives and/or an increase in our indebtedness to pay potential future additional capital contributions, which could in turn restrict our ability to access additional capital when needed or to pursue other important elements of our business strategy;

· undisclosed, contingent or other liabilities or problems, unanticipated costs, and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs; and

· certain underlying partnership data is not accessible to us, therefore we depend on the general partner to provide us with reliable accounting information.

41

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.

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.

Kaupulehu Developments is entitled to receive a percentage of the gross receipts from the sales of single-family residential lots in Increment I from WB, a land development partnership in which Barnwell holds a 19.6% ownership interest accounted for under the equity method of investment. The percentage payments are part of a 2004 transaction where Kaupulehu Developments sold its leasehold interest in Increment I to WB, which was prior to Barnwell’s affiliation with WB which commenced on November 27, 2013, the acquisition date of our ownership interest in the land development partnerships.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell received a $300,000 percentage of sales payment from WB from the sale of one lot in Increment I. All other lot sales reflected in the financial statements occurred prior to our purchase of ownership interests in the land development partnerships.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax results 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.

In May 2014, the Canada Revenue Agency notified Barnwell that the examination of Barnwell’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011 was completed with no adjustments.

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

		2014			2013			2014			2013

Income tax effect		$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-

Share-based compensation benefit recognized in losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are reflected in “General and administrative” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impact on income taxes for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

As of June 30, 2014, there was $89,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share options. That cost is expected to be recognized over 3.4 years. The weighted-average grant date fair value of employee options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.04 (no options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2014 or during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013).

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 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014:

Expected volatility	55.6%
Expected dividends	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	10.0
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 June 30, 2014 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

Outstanding at June 30, 2014		90,000			$	6.75		3.4	$	-
Exercisable at June 30, 2014		60,000			$	8.62		0.4	$	-

Total share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards vested in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $8,000 and $18,000, respectively. There was no share-based compensation expense for equity-classified awards in the prior year periods.

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:

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2014	2013
Expected volatility range	34.1% to 57.1%	49.8% to 64.4%
Weighted-average volatility	50.1%	60.0%
Expected dividends	0.0%	0.0%
Expected term (in years)	0.4 to 9.5	1.4 to 6.5
Risk-free interest rate	0.1% to 2.5%	0.3% to 1.9%
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 June 30, 2014 is presented below:

							Weighted-
							Average
				Weighted-			Remaining
				Average			Contractual		Aggregate

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

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 777,250 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 June 30, 2014

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 limitations at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $4,506,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Reduction of carrying value of assets.”

In February 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil properties located in the Mantario area of Saskatchewan, Canada. The purchase price, which includes customary purchase price adjustments in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014, was $2,726,000.

In April 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in oil and gas properties located in the Chauvin, Cessford and Rat Creek areas of Alberta, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $4,596,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of March 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $2,298,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

In May 2014, Barnwell entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with an independent third party and sold its interests in certain oil and gas properties located in the Boundary Lake area of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. The sales price per the agreement was adjusted at closing for preliminary purchase price adjustments to approximately $6,163,000 in order to, among other things, reflect an economic effective date of January 1, 2014. The final determination of the customary adjustments to the purchase price will be made by the parties approximately 180 days after closing. The buyer withheld $3,151,000 in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell also sold miscellaneous oil and natural gas properties for proceeds of $692,000, of which $280,000 was withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency for potential amounts due for Barnwell’s Canadian income taxes related to the sale which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon determination by the Canada Revenue Agency of any necessary tax deposits, the buyer is to release any such required amount of withheld funds to the Canada Revenue Agency and the remainder to Barnwell.

In accordance with full cost method rules, property sales are credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs. No gain or loss was recognized as these unplanned sales to multiple counterparties in unrelated transactions did not individually result in a significant alteration of the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.

Total proceeds received from sales of oil and natural gas properties during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $8,448,000. The total amount of proceeds withheld in trust for the Canada Revenue Agency, which is included in “Accounts and other receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $5,729,000 at June 30, 2014.

Canadian revolving credit facility

On April 29, 2014, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was amended and renewed. The amendment, among other things, provides for a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $11,800,000 Canadian dollars, or US$11,053,000 at the June 30, 2014 exchange rate, from $20,000,000 Canadian dollars. A portion of the decrease in the facility contemplates the decrease in security resulting from the sales of oil and natural gas properties discussed in Note 14. The other material terms of the credit facility remain unchanged.

Borrowings under this facility were $7,000,000 at June 30, 2014 and unused credit available was $3,924,000 after consideration of issued letters of credit totaling $129,000. The interest rate on the facility at June 30, 2014 was 2.65%.

The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance. Under the financing agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2015. 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 2015, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2015. As no debt repayments will be required on or before June 30, 2015, the entire outstanding loan balance at June 30, 2014 is classified as long-term debt.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2014, Barnwell realized a foreign currency transaction gain of $271,000, which was due to the repayment of $5,000,000 of the U.S. dollar denominated credit facility using Canadian dollars.

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 June 30, 2014 was 3.41%. 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 June 30, 2014 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 to fund the acquisition of interests in the land development partnerships and certain acquisition costs.

The bank loan matures in December 2015, with an option to extend one year, accrues interest for the first year at 4.50% 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 June 30, 2014 was 4.50%. Principal payments are due upon the receipt of percentage of sales payments from the sale of lots within Kaupulehu Lot 4A Increments I and II, the sale of Kaupulehu 2007’s residential parcels and the receipt of cash distributions from the land development partnerships. Additionally, Barnwell will be required to make a principal payment of $1,400,000 upon the sale of the house currently available 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, an $892,000 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, through affiliated entities, borrowed $5,000,000 under a new bank loan to fund the acquisition. 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.

The initial accounting for the acquisition by the controlling general partner of the investees is incomplete as the general partner is currently in the process of performing an acquisition date audit. Based on the investees’ unaudited financial statements from the general partner, Barnwell was allocated partnership losses of $113,000 and $376,000 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The adjustment to the estimated basis difference between the underlying equity in net assets of the investees and the carrying value of Barnwell’s investment as a limited partner as a result of activity during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, based on the unaudited information from the investees, was not material. The unaudited financial information for the investees from the general partner is subject to change upon completion of the audit and the change could have a material impact on Barnwell’s reported results of operations.

Barnwell, as well as WB, WBKD and certain other owners of the partnerships, have jointly and severally executed a surety indemnification agreement. Bonds issued by the surety at June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $5,400,000 and relate to certain construction contracts of WB and WBKD. If any such performance bonds are called, we may be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the performance bond as Barnwell, WB, WBKD 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 June 30, 2014, Barnwell’s maximum loss exposure as a result of its investment in the land development partnerships was $10,164,000, consisting of the carrying value of the investment of $4,764,000 and $5,400,000 from the surety indemnification agreement of which we are jointly and severally liable.

Summarized financial information for the land development partnerships is as follows:

	Three months ended		November 27, 2013 -
	June 30, 2014		June 30, 2014
Revenue	$	2,499,000	$	4,121,000

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”) (see Note 15).

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

Barnwell contributed $350,000 to the Pension Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and does not expect to make any further contributions during the remainder of 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.

Environmental Matters

As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $555,000 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

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 June 30, 2014, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2014 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 (a) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (b) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (c) 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

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 June 30, 2014, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2014 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 (a) the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than carrying value, (b) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (c) 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 June 30, 2014, 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.

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 and other receivables, 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.
