NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations

Mexco Energy Corporation (a Colorado corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Forman Energy Corporation (a New York corporation), Southwest Texas Disposal Corporation (a Texas corporation) and TBO Oil & Gas, LLC (a Texas limited liability company) (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the exploration, development and production of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”). Most of the Company’s oil and gas interests are centered in the West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico; however, the Company owns producing properties and undeveloped acreage in fourteen states. Although the Company’s oil and gas interests predominately are operated by others, the Company operates three wells on a lease in which it owns a 100% working interest.

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 (“GAAP”), 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, 2019, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2019 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. However, the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Investments. The Company accounts for investments of less than 1% in limited liability companies using the cost method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Topic 842 Leases and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). The standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term greater than one year. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company has determined that it has only one operating lease. The Company adopted Topic 842 on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and the impact of the adoption resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $141,385. The current portion of the operating lease liability is included in Total current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of the operating lease liability is included in Total long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior periods have not been adjusted. See Note 5 – Leases for additional discussion.

3. Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded in the period in which it is initially incurred, discounted to its present value using the credit adjusted risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period until the liability is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is removed. The related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties. The ARO is included on the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion being included in the accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

The following table provides a rollforward of the AROs for the first six months of fiscal 2020:

Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2019	$	861,534
Liabilities incurred		10,421
Liabilities settled		(41,796	)
Accretion expense		13,337
Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of September 30, 2019		843,496
Less: Current portion		7,500
Non-Current asset retirement obligation	$	835,996

4. Long Term Debt

Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

	September 30, 2019			March 31, 2019
Credit facility	$	515,000			-
Unamortized debt issuance costs		(32,344	)		-
Total long-term debt	$	482,656			-

The Company has a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), which provided for a credit facility of $1,000,000. The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually.

Under the Agreement, interest on the facility accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. As of September 30, 2019, there was $485,000 available on the facility.

No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility, December 28, 2021. Upon closing with WTNB on the Agreement, the Company paid a .5% loan origination fee in the amount of $5,000 plus legal and recording expenses totaling $34,532, which were deferred over the life of the credit facility.

Amounts borrowed under the Agreement are collateralized by the common stock of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties.

Page 8

The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter. The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2019 and believes it will remain in compliance for the next fiscal year.

In addition, this Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without written permission of WTNB. The Agreement does not permit the Company to enter into hedge covering crude oil and natural gas prices.

The balance outstanding on the line of credit as of September 30, 2019 was $515,000. The following table is a summary of activity on the WTNB line of credit for the three months ended September 30, 2019:

	Principal
Balance at April 1, 2019:	$	-
Borrowings		555,000
Repayments		(40,000	)
Balance at September 30, 2019:	$	515,000

Subsequently, on October 17, 2019, the Company made a payment of $50,000 on the WTNB line of credit and on November 8, 2019, borrowed $60,000, leaving a balance of $525,000.

The Company also maintains a Certificate of Deposit Account at WTNB to collateralize one outstanding letter of credit for $25,000 in lieu of a plugging bond with the Texas Railroad Commission covering the properties the Company operates.

5. Leases

The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 1,021 square feet of office space shared with and reimbursed by our majority shareholder. The lease is a 36 month lease that expires in May 2021 and does not include an option to renew.

The Company determines an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was 6.0%. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company chose not to discount because the difference is not significant. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The balance sheets classification of lease assets and liabilities was as follows:

	September 30, 2019
Assets
Operating lease right-of-use asset, beginning balance	$	141,385
Current period amortization		(32,628	)
Total operating lease right-of-use asset	$	108,757
Liabilities
Operating lease liability, current	$	65,201
Operating lease liability, long term		43,930
Total lease liabilities	$	109,131

Page 9

Future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2019 under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

	Lease Obligation
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020	$	32,428
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021		65,721
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022		10,982
Total lease payments	$	109,131
Less: imputed interest		-
Operating lease liability		109,131
Less: operating lease liability, current		(65,201	)
Operating lease liability, long term	$	43,930

Net cash paid for our operating lease for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $24,153 and $19,955, respectively. Rent expense, less sublease income of $8,100 and $6,763, respectively, is included in general and administrative expenses.

6. Income Taxes

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income, and we consider the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry.

Based on the material write-downs of the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties during fiscal 2016, we are in a net deferred tax asset position as of September 30, 2019. Our deferred tax asset is $1,300,709 as of September 30, 2019 with a valuation amount of $1,300,709. We believe it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth.

7. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions for the Company relate to shared office expenditures in addition to administrative and operating expenses paid on behalf of the principal stockholder. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $9,842 and $10,602, respectively. The total billed to and reimbursed by the stockholder for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $19,943 and $27,021, respectively. The principal stockholder pays for his share of the lease amount for the shared office space directly to the lessor. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the three months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $3,981 and $3,917, respectively. Amounts paid by the principal stockholder directly to the lessor for the six months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $7,919 and $6,763, respectively.

8. (Loss) Income Per Common Share

The Company’s basic net (loss) income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share assumes the exercise of all stock options having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the period using the treasury stock method and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares (stock options) outstanding during the period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes potential common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Page 10

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2019			2018		2019			2018
Net (loss) income	$	(82,787	)	$	22,031	$	(136,973	)	$	36,451
Shares outstanding:
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – basic		2,040,166			2,040,052		2,040,166			2,038,659
Effect of assumed exercise of dilutive stock options		-			-		-			-
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – dilutive		2,040,166			2,040,052		2,040,166			2,038,659
(Loss) income per common share:
Basic	$	(0.04	)	$	0.01	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02
Diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	0.01	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, 185,700 potential common shares relating to stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share because the price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $6.18 at September 30, 2018.

Due to a net loss for the for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

9. Subsequent Events

The Company completed a review and analysis of all events that occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date to determine if any such events must be reported and has determined that there are no other subsequent events to be disclosed.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our plans, beliefs or current expectations and may be signified by the words “could”, “should”, “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “budget”, “plan”, “forecast”, “predict” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements appear throughout this Form 10-Q with respect to, among other things: profitability; planned capital expenditures; estimates of oil and gas production; future project dates; estimates of future oil and gas prices; estimates of oil and gas reserves; our future financial condition or results of operations; and our business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

While we have made assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the assumptions that support our forward-looking statements are based upon information that is currently available and is subject to change. All forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement contained in this section. We do not undertake to update, revise or correct any of the forward-looking information. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Historically, we have funded our operations, acquisitions, exploration and development expenditures from cash generated by operating activities, bank borrowings, sales of non-core properties and issuance of common stock. Our primary financial resource is our base of oil and gas reserves. We have pledged our producing oil and gas properties to secure our revolving line of credit. We do not have any delivery commitments to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of its oil and gas under any existing contract or agreement.

Due to the current commodity price environment, we are applying financial discipline to all aspects of our business. In order to meet obligations, we may continue to sell non-core assets.

Our long term strategy is on increasing profit margins while concentrating on obtaining reserves with low cost operations by acquiring and developing oil and gas properties with potential for long-lived production. We focus our efforts on the acquisition of royalties and working interests and non-operated properties in areas with significant development potential.

For the first six months of fiscal 2020, cash flow from operations was $342,938, a 31% decrease when compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2019 as a result of a decrease in natural gas sales primarily due to a 46% decrease in natural gas price offset by an increase in oil sales. Net cash of $515,000 was received from the line of credit and net cash of $815,691 was used for additions to oil and gas properties and cash of $100,000 was used for an investment at cost basis. Accordingly, net cash decreased $57,753, leaving cash and cash equivalents on hand of $70,499 as of September 30, 2019.

At September 30, 2019, we had working capital of $246,400 compared to working capital of $395,895 at March 31, 2019, a decrease of $149,495 primarily due to a decrease in cash for property development as described below.

Oil and Natural Gas Property Development. In addition to an indeterminate number of wells to be drilled by other operators on Mexco’s royalty interests, the Company currently plans to participate in the drilling and completion of approximately 55 horizontal wells at an estimated aggregate cost of approximately $1,700,000 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. The operators of these wells include Concho Resources, Inc., Devon Energy, Marathon Oil Company, Mewbourne Oil Company, and others.

During the six months of fiscal 2020, Mexco participated with various percentage interests in the drilling and completion of the first 27 of these horizontal wells in the Delaware Basin located in the western portion of the Permian Basin in Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico with aggregate costs of approximately $600,000. Subsequently, Mexco expended an additional $61,000 for participation in the drilling of another four wells.

Page 12

Also, during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Mexco expended $186,000 for the completion of 4 wells in which the Company participated in drilling during fiscal 2019. These wells began producing in June 2019.

In April 2019, the Company made a less than 1% cost basis investment commitment in a limited liability company amounting to $250,000 of which $100,000 has been funded through September 30, 2019. This amount is classified as an investment at cost basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The limited liability company is capitalized at approximately $50 million to purchase mineral interests in the Utica and Marcellus areas in the state of Ohio.

In June 2019, the Company received $30,894 in payment for a promissory note in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit from September 2016.

We are participating in other projects and are reviewing projects in which we may participate. The cost of such projects would be funded, to the extent possible, from existing cash balances and cash flow from operations. The remainder may be funded through borrowings on the credit facility and, if appropriate, sales of non-core properties.

Crude oil and natural gas prices generally decreased during the last year. The volatility of the energy markets makes it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. For example in the last twelve months, the NYMEX WTI posted price for crude oil has ranged from a low of $39.25 per bbl in December 2018 to a high of $73.00 per bbl in October 2018. The Henry Hub Spot Market Price (“Henry Hub”) for natural gas has ranged from a low of $2.09 per MMBtu in August 2019 to a high of $4.70 per MMBtu in November 2018. On September 30, 2019 the WTI posted price for crude oil was $50.25 per bbl and the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas was $2.37 per MMBtu. See Results of Operations below for realized prices which are substantially below the Henry Hub Spot Market Price.

Contractual Obligations. We have no off-balance sheet debt or unrecorded obligations and have not guaranteed the debt of any other party. The following table summarizes our future payments we are obligated to make based on agreements in place as of September 30, 2019:

	Payments due in:
	Total		less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		over 3 years
Contractual obligations:
Secured bank line of credit (1)	$	515,000	$	-	$	515,000	$	-
Leases (2)	$	109,131	$	65,201	$	43,930

(1)	These amounts represent the balances outstanding under the bank line of credit. This repayment assumes that interest will be paid on a monthly basis, no additional funds will be drawn and does not include estimated interest of $28,325 less than 1 year, and $35,406 1-3 years.
(2)	The lease amount represents the monthly rent amount for our principal office space in Midland, Texas under one three year lease agreement effective May 15, 2018. Of this total obligation for the remainder of the lease, our majority shareholder will pay $16,009 less than 1 year and $10,786 1-3 years for his portion of the shared office space.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2018. There was a net loss of $82,787 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 compared to net income of $22,031 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. This was a result of an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in operating revenue that is further explained below.

Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $625,750 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, an 11% decrease from $701,246 for the same period of fiscal 2019. This resulted from an increase in oil production partially offset by a decrease in gas production and a decrease in oil and gas prices.

	2019		2018		% Difference
Oil:
Revenue	$	531,086	$	495,231		7.2	%
Volume (bbls)		10,094		8,493		18.9	%
Average Price (per bbl)	$	52.61	$	58.31		(9.8	)%
Gas:
Revenue	$	94,664	$	206,015		(54.0	)%
Volume (mcf)		72,686		73,496		(1.1	)%
Average Price (per mcf)	$	1.30	$	2.80		(53.6	)%

Production and exploration. Production costs were $229,042 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a 9% decrease from $250,578 for the same period of fiscal 2019. This is primarily the result of a decrease in expenses on the non-operated properties and a decrease in production tax due to the decrease in gas sales.

Page 13

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $209,729 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a 2% increase from $205,583 for the same period of fiscal 2019, primarily due to an increase in oil production and a decrease oil and gas reserves partially offset by a decrease in future development costs, gas production and full cost pool amortization base.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $255,294 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a 13% increase from $226,169 for the same period of fiscal 2019. This was primarily due to an increase in accounting and legal fees.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $8,495 for the second quarter of fiscal 2020, a 32% increase from $6,446 for the same period of fiscal 2019, due to an increase in borrowings and interest rates.

Income taxes. There was no income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was 0%. We are in a net deferred tax asset position and believe it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Results of Operations – Six Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2018. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, there was a net loss of $136,973 compared to net income of $36,451 for the six months ended September 30, 2018. This was a result of an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in operating revenues that is further explained below.

Oil and gas sales. Revenue from oil and gas sales was $1,317,444 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, an 8% decrease from $1,436,599 for the same period of fiscal 2019. This resulted from an increase in oil prices partially offset by a decrease in gas prices and a decrease in oil and gas production.

	2019		2018		% Difference
Oil:
Revenue	$	1,119,522	$	1,065,294		5.1	%
Volume (bbls)		20,703		17,880		15.8	%
Average Price (per bbl)	$	54.08	$	59.58		9.2	%
Gas:
Revenue	$	197,922	$	371,305		(45.7	)%
Volume (mcf)		144,533		146,870		(1.6	)%
Average Price (per mcf)	$	1.37	$	2.53		(45.8	)%

Production and exploration. Production costs were $448,437 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, a 12% decrease from $509,513 for the six months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in lease operating expenses due to numerous required repairs and maintenance on our operated wells during this same period last year partially offset by a decrease in production taxes as a result of a decrease in gas sales.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $419,967 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, a .4% decrease from $421,658 for the six months ended September 30, 2018, due to an increase in oil production and a decrease of oil and gas reserves partially offset by a decrease in future development costs, gas production and full cost pool amortization base.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $566,355 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, a 19% increase from $475,207 for the six months ended September 30, 2018. This was primarily due to an increase in accounting fees, engineering fees, legal fees and contract services.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $14,851 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, an 11% increase from $13,367 for the same period fiscal 2019 due to an increase in borrowings and interest rates.

Income taxes. There was no income tax expense for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and for the six months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was 0%. We are in a net deferred tax asset position and believe it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary sources of market risk for us include fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. All of our financial instruments are for purposes other than trading.

Interest Rate Risk. At September 30, 2019, we had an outstanding loan balance of $515,000 under our credit agreement, which bears interest at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) floating daily. If the interest rate on our bank debt increases or decreases by one percentage point our annual pretax income would change by $5,150 based on the outstanding balance at September 30, 2019.

Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk of loss as a result of nonperformance by other parties of their contractual obligations. Our primary credit risk is related to oil and gas production sold to various purchasers and the receivables are generally not collateralized. At September 30, 2019, our largest credit risk associated with any single purchaser was $156,812 or 45% of our total oil and gas receivables. We have not experienced any significant credit losses.

Energy Price Risk. Our most significant market risk is the pricing for natural gas and crude oil. Our financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate widely. We cannot predict future oil and natural gas prices with any certainty. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile.

Prices for natural gas were adversely effected by temporary pipeline capacity constraints primarily in the Permian Basin. This limitation has been currently alleviated by commencement of operations of a new 42 inch natural gas pipeline capable of transporting 2 Bcf per day to the Gulf Coast beginning in September 2019. We cannot predict future disruptions to, capacity constraints in or other limitations on the pipeline systems.

Factors that can cause price fluctuations include the level of global demand for petroleum products, foreign and domestic supply of oil and gas, the establishment of and compliance with production quotas by oil-exporting countries, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels and overall political and economic conditions in oil producing countries.

Declines in oil and natural gas prices will materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and operating results. Changes in oil and gas prices impact both estimated future net revenue and the estimated quantity of proved reserves. Any reduction in reserves, including reductions due to price fluctuations, can reduce the borrowing base under our credit facility and adversely affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to obtain additional capital for our acquisition, exploration and development activities. In addition, a noncash write-down of our oil and gas properties could be required under full cost accounting rules if prices declined significantly, even if it is only for a short period of time. Lower prices may also reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that can be produced economically. Thus, we may experience material increases or decreases in reserve quantities solely as a result of price changes and not as a result of drilling or well performance.

Similarly, any improvements in oil and gas prices can have a favorable impact on our financial condition, results of operations and capital resources. Oil and natural gas prices do not necessarily fluctuate in direct relationship to each other. If the average oil price had increased or decreased by ten dollars per barrel for the first six months of fiscal 2020, our pretax income would have increased or decreased by $207,030. If the average gas price had increased or decreased by one dollar per mcf for the first six months of fiscal 2020, our pretax income would have increased or decreased by $144,533.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that the information we must disclose in our filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

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 (“GAAP”), 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, 2019, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in the Company’s 2019 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. However, the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Investments. The Company accounts for investments of less than 1% in limited liability companies using the cost method.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Topic 842 Leases and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). The standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term greater than one year. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company has determined that it has only one operating lease. The Company adopted Topic 842 on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and the impact of the adoption resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $141,385. The current portion of the operating lease liability is included in Total current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of the operating lease liability is included in Total long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Prior periods have not been adjusted. See Note 5 – Leases for additional discussion.

Income Taxes

6. Income Taxes

A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, is recognized when it is more likely than not that some or all of the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. To assess that likelihood, we use estimates and judgment regarding our future taxable income, and we consider the tax consequences in the jurisdiction where such taxable income is generated, to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. Such evidence can include our current financial position, our results of operations, both actual and forecasted, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, and tax planning strategies as well as the current and forecasted business economics of our industry.

Based on the material write-downs of the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties during fiscal 2016, we are in a net deferred tax asset position as of September 30, 2019. Our deferred tax asset is $1,300,709 as of September 30, 2019 with a valuation amount of $1,300,709. We believe it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as future expected growth.

Asset Retirement Obligations

3. Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) relate to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded in the period in which it is initially incurred, discounted to its present value using the credit adjusted risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period until the liability is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is removed. The related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of our oil and natural gas properties. The ARO is included on the consolidated balance sheets with the current portion being included in the accounts payable and other accrued expenses.

The following table provides a rollforward of the AROs for the first six months of fiscal 2020:

Carrying amount of asset retirement obligations as of April 1, 2019	$	861,534

Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

	September 30, 2019			March 31, 2019
Credit facility	$	515,000			-
Unamortized debt issuance costs		(32,344	)		-
Total long-term debt	$	482,656			-

The Company has a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), which provided for a credit facility of $1,000,000. The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually.

Under the Agreement, interest on the facility accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter. As of September 30, 2019, there was $485,000 available on the facility.

No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the credit facility, December 28, 2021. Upon closing with WTNB on the Agreement, the Company paid a .5% loan origination fee in the amount of $5,000 plus legal and recording expenses totaling $34,532, which were deferred over the life of the credit facility.

Amounts borrowed under the Agreement are collateralized by the common stock of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties.

The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter. The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2019 and believes it will remain in compliance for the next fiscal year.

In addition, this Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without written permission of WTNB. The Agreement does not permit the Company to enter into hedge covering crude oil and natural gas prices.

The balance outstanding on the line of credit as of September 30, 2019 was $515,000. The following table is a summary of activity on the WTNB line of credit for the three months ended September 30, 2019:

	Principal
Balance at April 1, 2019:	$	-
Borrowings		555,000
Repayments		(40,000	)
Balance at September 30, 2019:	$	515,000

Subsequently, on October 17, 2019, the Company made a payment of $50,000 on the WTNB line of credit and on November 8, 2019, borrowed $60,000, leaving a balance of $525,000.

The Company also maintains a Certificate of Deposit Account at WTNB to collateralize one outstanding letter of credit for $25,000 in lieu of a plugging bond with the Texas Railroad Commission covering the properties the Company operates.

(Loss) Income Per Common Share

8. (Loss) Income Per Common Share

The Company’s basic net (loss) income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share assumes the exercise of all stock options having exercise prices less than the average market price of the common stock during the period using the treasury stock method and is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares (stock options) outstanding during the period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes potential common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2019			2018		2019			2018
Net (loss) income	$	(82,787	)	$	22,031	$	(136,973	)	$	36,451
Shares outstanding:
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – basic		2,040,166			2,040,052		2,040,166			2,038,659
Effect of assumed exercise of dilutive stock options		-			-		-			-
Weighted avg. shares outstanding – dilutive		2,040,166			2,040,052		2,040,166			2,038,659
(Loss) income per common share:
Basic	$	(0.04	)	$	0.01	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02
Diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	0.01	$	(0.07	)	$	0.02

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2018, 185,700 potential common shares relating to stock options were excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share because the price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $6.18 at September 30, 2018.

Due to a net loss for the for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Leases

5. Leases

The Company leases approximately 4,160 rentable square feet of office space from an unaffiliated third party for our corporate office located in Midland, Texas. This includes 1,021 square feet of office space shared with and reimbursed by our majority shareholder. The lease is a 36 month lease that expires in May 2021 and does not include an option to renew.

The Company determines an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are recorded in operating lease right-of-use asset, operating lease liability, current, and operating lease liability, long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate used at adoption was 6.0%. Significant judgement is required when determining the incremental borrowing rate. The Company chose not to discount because the difference is not significant. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The balance sheets classification of lease assets and liabilities was as follows:

	September 30, 2019
Assets
Operating lease right-of-use asset, beginning balance	$	141,385
Current period amortization		(32,628	)
Total operating lease right-of-use asset	$	108,757
Liabilities
Operating lease liability, current	$	65,201
Operating lease liability, long term		43,930
Total lease liabilities	$	109,131

Future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2019 under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

	Lease Obligation
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020	$	32,428
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2021		65,721
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022		10,982
Total lease payments	$	109,131
Less: imputed interest		-
Operating lease liability		109,131
Less: operating lease liability, current		(65,201	)
Operating lease liability, long term	$	43,930

Net cash paid for our operating lease for the six months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $24,153 and $19,955, respectively. Rent expense, less sublease income of $8,100 and $6,763, respectively, is included in general and administrative expenses.
