Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mexco Energy Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions associated with the consolidated operations have been eliminated. Estimates and Assumptions. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates are used in determining proved oil and gas reserves. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The estimate of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves, which is used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties, is the most significant of the estimates and assumptions that affect these reported results. Interim Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited.

It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K. Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, Topic 810: Consolidation which amends the current consolidation guidance. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for Mexco as of April 1, 2016. Management is assessing the standard update and does not believe there will be a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Subtopic 225-20: Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from the generally accepted accounting principles. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for Mexco as of January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. Management is assessing the standard update and does not believe there will be a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Subtopic 205-40: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for Mexco for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and interim periods thereafter and early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. The effective date for ASU 2014-09 was delayed through the issuance of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, to annual and interim periods beginning in 2018 and is required to be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method, with early adoption permitted in 2017. Management is evaluating the effect, if any this pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mexco Energy Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions associated with the consolidated operations have been eliminated.

Estimates and Assumptions. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make informed judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In addition, significant estimates are used in determining proved oil and gas reserves. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The estimate of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves, which is used to compute depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties, is the most significant of the estimates and assumptions that affect these reported results.

Interim Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in more detail in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, Topic 810: Consolidation which amends the current consolidation guidance. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for Mexco as of April 1, 2016. Management is assessing the standard update and does not believe there will be a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Subtopic 225-20: Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from the generally accepted accounting principles. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for Mexco as of January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. Management is assessing the standard update and does not believe there will be a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Subtopic 205-40: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for Mexco for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017 and interim periods thereafter and early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU provides guidance concerning the recognition and measurement of revenue from contracts with customers. The effective date for ASU 2014-09 was delayed through the issuance of ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, to annual and interim periods beginning in 2018 and is required to be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method, with early adoption permitted in 2017.
