“Safe Harbor” Statement under the United States

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Statements that are not historical facts contained in this Form 10-K are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from projected results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: general economic conditions; movements in interest rates; the market price of oil and natural gas; the risks associated with exploration and production; the Company’s ability, or the ability of its operating subsidiary, Altex Oil Corporation (AOC), to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new properties; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business; uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures; the strength and financial resources of the Company’s competitors; the Company’s ability and AOC’s ability to find and retain skilled personnel; climatic conditions; availability and cost of material and equipment; delays in anticipated start-up dates; environmental risks; the results of financing efforts; and other uncertainties detailed elsewhere herein.

PART I

Item 1.Business. 

Altex Industries, Inc. (or the "Registrant" or the "Company," each of which terms, when used herein, refer to Altex Industries, Inc. and/or its subsidiary) is a holding company with one full-time employee that was incorporated in Delaware in 1985. Through its operating subsidiary, AOC, the Company currently owns interests in productive onshore oil and gas properties, has bought and sold producing oil and gas properties, and, to a lesser extent, has participated in the drilling of exploratory and development wells, and in recompletions of existing wells.

All of AOC’s interests are in properties operated by others. An interest owner in a property not operated by that interest owner must rely on information regarding the property provided by the operator, even though there can be no assurance that such information is complete, accurate, or current. In addition, an owner of a working interest in a property is potentially responsible for 100% of all liabilities associated with that property, regardless of the size of the working interest actually owned.

The operators of producing properties in which AOC has an interest sell produced oil and gas to refiners, pipeline operators, and processing plants. If a refinery, pipeline, or processing plant that purchases such production were taken out of service, the operator could be forced to halt the production that is purchased by such refinery, pipeline, or plant.

Although many entities produce oil and gas, competitive factors play a material role in AOC's production operations only to the extent that such factors affect demand for and prices of oil and gas and demand for, supply of, and prices of oilfield services. The sale of oil and gas is regulated by Federal, state, and local agencies, and AOC is also subject to Federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws and regulations generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation. AOC regularly assesses its exposure to environmental liability and asset retirement obligations (ARO), which activities are covered by Federal, state, and local regulation. AOC does not believe that it currently has any material exposure to environmental liability or ARO, as it does not own any working interests.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 2.Properties. 

The Company’s estimated reserves at September 30, 2021, are 1,000 barrels of proved, developed oil reserves associated with the Company’s 4.4% override in the Glo Field in Campbell County, Wyoming. The reserve estimate is prepared by the Company’s registered profession petroleum engineer; management supplies the engineer with ownership and revenue data and reviews the reserve estimate for reasonableness. The Company has not reported to, or filed with, any other Federal authority or agency any estimates of total, proved net oil or gas reserves since the beginning of the last fiscal year. All the Company’s interests in oil and gas properties are non-working interests. The Company did not participate in the drilling of any wells during the year ended September 30, 2019 (FY19), the year ended September 30, 2020 (FY20), or the year ended September 30, 2021 (FY21). At December 23, 2021, the Company was not engaged in any oil and gas operations. The Company owns very small mineral interests in Utah. All the Company’s production is located in Utah and Wyoming.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Financial Condition

In FY21 operating activities used $85,000 cash, and the Company used $19,000 cash to acquire 130,000 shares of its common stock. In FY20 operating activities used $121,000 cash, and the Company used $4,000 cash to acquire 44,008 shares of its common stock. Consequently, cash balances decreased $104,000 in FY21 and $125,000 in FY20. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, accrued expenses, related party, of $1,073,000 consists of $1,024,000 in salary payable to the Company’s president, pursuant to his employment agreement, that the president has elected to defer, as well as $49,000 in related accrued payroll tax. The Company’s president may require the Company to pay the unpaid salary and payroll tax liability at any time.

The Company is likely to experience negative cash flow from operations unless and until the Company invests in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in another venture that produces sufficient cash flow from operations. With the exception of capital expenditures related to production acquisitions or drilling or recompletion activities or an investment in another venture that produces cash flow from operations, none of which are currently planned, the cash flows that could result from such acquisitions, activities, or investments, and the possibility of a material change in the current level of interest rates or of oil and gas prices, the Company knows of no trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. Except for cash generated by the operation of the Company's producing oil and gas properties, asset sales, and interest income, the Company has no internal or external sources of liquidity other than its working capital. At December 23, 2021, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Results of Operations

Oil and gas sales increased from $31,000 in FY20 to $44,000 in FY21 because quantities sold and prices received increased in FY21. Interest income decreased from $17,000 in FY20 to nil in FY21 because of lower realized interest rates on cash balances. Included in other income in FY21 was $56,000 in out-of-period revenue that had been held in suspense.

At the current levels of net oil and gas production, cash balances, interest rates, and oil and gas prices, the Company’s revenue is unlikely to exceed its expenses. Unless and until the Company invests a substantial portion of its cash balances in interests in producing oil and gas wells or in one or more other ventures that produce revenue and net income, the Company is likely to experience net losses. With the exception of unanticipated ARO, unanticipated environmental expense, and possible changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices, the Company is not aware of any other trends, events, or uncertainties that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations.

Not applicable.

Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. 

The consolidated financial statements follow the signature page.

Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. 

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

As of the end of the period covered by the report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the foregoing, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiary) required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act reports. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Altex Industries, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Altex Industries, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB .

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue Recognition

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on the sales date as reported to the Company by the operators of oil and gas production facilities in which the Company has a royalty interest.

Auditing management’s evaluation of the royalty revenue from its agreements with customers involves significant judgment based on the estimates of the revenue recorded and their subsequent true-up once payment is received.

To evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the revenue recorded by management, we evaluated management’s assessment of the revenue recorded based on the Company’s royalty interest.

ALTEX INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021 and 2020

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Nature of operations: Altex Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, jointly referred to as “the Company,” owns non-working interests in productive oil and gas properties located in Utah and Wyoming. The Company’s revenues are generated from interest income from cash deposits and from sales of oil and gas production. The Company’s operations are significantly affected by changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Altex Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Property and equipment: The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations, under which exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, annual delay rentals, and exploratory dry hole costs, are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to acquire unproved properties, to drill and to equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and to equip development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs relating to proved oil and gas properties are depleted on the units-of-production method based on estimated quantities of proved reserves and estimated ARO. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost thereof and the accumulated depreciation, depletion, and valuation allowance are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review compares the asset’s carrying value with management’s estimate of its undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated cash flows, an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated cash flows is recognized. No such impairment may be restored in the future. The Company’s proved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on an individual field basis.

Asset retirement obligations: If the Company acquires a working interest in an oil and gas property that is placed in service, it records a liability for its ARO. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value. Inherent in the estimation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including ultimate settlement amounts, inflation rates, discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in regulations. To the extent changes in these assumptions impact the estimate of the ARO, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.

Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Under this method, the incremental number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share (EPS) is the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and purchased using assumed proceeds. Diluted EPS amounts would include the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per

share are the same in the periods presented as there are no such outstanding instruments at September 30, 2021, or September 30, 2020.

Fair value measurements: “Fair value“ is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of fair value estimation, based on the observability of inputs: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2. Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes the amounts reported for the carrying value of cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses (related parties), and other accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes: The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company reports uncertainty in income taxes according to GAAP. There was no increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits during the current year. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expense. There was neither interest nor penalty at September 30, 2021.

Concentrations of credit risk: The Company maintains significant amounts of cash and sometimes permits cash balances to exceed insured limits.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Substantially all the Company’s revenue is from sales of oil and gas production, interest income, and, occasionally, bonus payments for mineral leases. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on sales date as reported to the Company by the operators of oil and gas production facilities in which the company has an interest. Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company accounts for mineral lease bonus payments in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas, and it classifies such income as other income. The Company recognizes revenue from mineral lease bonus payments when it has received both an executed agreement and the bonus payment, and the Company has no obligation to refund any portion of the payment. The Company classifies mineral lease bonus payments as other income because the leasing of mineral interests is not a principal business activity of the Company, and material amounts of mineral lease bonus payments do not occur with any regularity.

Other Income: Other income is any income the Company receives that is neither oil and gas sales attributable to the current period nor interest income. Other income includes out-of-period sales revenue, various items of miscellaneous income as well as lease bonus payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. The provisions of ASU 2016-2 also modify the definition of a lease and outline the requirements for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-2 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-2 effective October 1, 2019.

In December 2019 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU-2019-12 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 2 - Income Taxes. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a depletion carryforward of $860,000 and a net operating loss carryforward of $2,557,000, of which $2,259,000 will expire in the years 2028 through 2037. The approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets at September 30, 2021, computed in accordance with the Income Tax Topic (Topic 740) of the Codification, is as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets		2021	2020
Depletion carryforward	$	181,000	181,000
Net operating loss carryforward		537,000	519,000
Accrued shareholder salary		215,000	215,000
Deletion and amortization		4,000	4,000
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets		937,000	919,000
Less valuation allowance		(937,000)	(919,000)
Net Deferred Tax Asset	$	-	-

A valuation allowance has been provided because of the uncertainty of future realization. Income tax expense is different from amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate for the following reasons:

		2021	2020
Tax benefit at 21% of net earnings	$	(17,000)	(27,000)
Impact of rate change effective January 1, 2018		-	-
Change in valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets		(17,000)	(27,000)
Income tax expense	$	-	-

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefit as a result of uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s tax years that remain subject to examination are 2018 - 2021 (Federal jurisdiction) and 2017 - 2021 (state jurisdictions).

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company renewed its employment agreement with its president. The agreement has an initial term of five years and provides an annual base salary equal to the maximum annual contribution to a Health Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) and an annual bonus of no less than 20% of the Company's earnings before tax, payable, at the president’s election, in either cash or common stock of the Company at then fair market value. The Company matches any contribution that the president makes to the Company’s FSA. The agreement contains provisions providing for payments to the president in the event of his disability or termination of his employment. At September 30, 2021, accrued expense, related party, includes $1,024,000 in salary payable to the Company’s president, pursuant to his employment agreement, that the president has elected to defer, as well as $49,000 in related accrued payroll tax. The Company’s president may require the Company to pay the unpaid salary and payroll tax liability at any time.

The Company’s president may require the Company to pay the unpaid salary and payroll tax liability at any time.

Note 4 - Major Customers. In 2021 the Company had three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's oil and gas sales and who, in aggregate, accounted for 93% of oil and gas sales. In 2021 the three customers individually accounted for 63%, 17% and 13% of oil and gas sales. In 2020 the Company had three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company's oil and gas sales and who, in aggregate, accounted for 97% of oil and gas sales. In 2020 the three customers individually accounted for 43%, 41% and 13% of oil and gas sales.

Note 5 - Leases. The Company rents office space under an operating lease that terminates on June 30, 2025. The Company may cancel the lease upon 30 days’ notice and the payment of a $4,000 termination fee. If the landlord sells the premises to an unrelated third party, the new landlord may reduce the term to one year from the date of purchase. The Company incurred lease cost of $27,000 in 2021 and $26,000 in 2020. The landlord may increase annual rent no more than CPI. On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 842, “Leases.” The Company adopted ASC 842 using the optional modified retrospective transition method. Under this transition method, the Company did not recast the prior period financial statements. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability of $118,000 at September 30, 2020.

Future minimum lease payments as of September 30
2022	27,000
2023	28,000
2024	28,000
2025	22,000
Total	105,000

Note 6 - Oil and Natural Gas Properties. Oil and natural gas properties consist of the following:

	September 30
	2021		2020
Oil and natural gas properties
Proved, developed properties	$	333,000	$	333,000
Less: accumulated depreciation, depletion and impairment		(290,000)		(283,000)
Total oil and natural gas properties	$	43,000	$	50,000

As the Company does not own working interests, it is not liable for the cost of well abandonment or surface restoration, so no ARO liability was recorded at September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 7 - Equity and treasury stock transactions. In the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company purchased 130,000 shares of its common stock for an average price of $0.15 per share and retired the shares. In the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company purchased 44,008 shares of its common stock for an average price of $0.09 per share and retired the shares.

Note 8 – Other Income. In the year ended September 30, 2021, other income consisted of $56,000 of out-of-period oil and gas sales that, unbeknownst to the Company, an operator had held in suspense and that was received in 2021, and $1,000 of other out-of-period oil and gas sales received in 2021. In the year ended September 30, 2020, other income consisted of $1,000 of out-of-period oil and gas sales received in 2020.

Note 9 – Subsequent events. The Company has evaluated all transactions from September 30, 2021, through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration and noted no significant subsequent event that needs to be disclosed.

Note 10 - Supplemental Financial Data - Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited). The Company's operations are confined to the continental United States, and all the Company's reserves are proved, developed.

I. Capitalized Costs. Capitalized costs include the cost of properties, excluding any asset retirement obligations.

	September 30, 2021
Proved properties	$333,000
Accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and valuation allowance	(290,000)
Net capitalized cost	$43,000

II. Estimated Quantities of Reserves. Reed W. Ferrill & Associates, Inc., an independent engineering firm, prepared the Company’s estimate of reserves, future production, and income. The estimated reserves include only those quantities that are expected to be commercially recoverable at prices and costs in effect at the balance sheet dates under existing regulations and with conventional operating methods. Proved, developed reserves represent only those reserves expected to be recovered from existing wells.

	Oil in Barrels
Balance at September 30, 2019	2,400
Revisions of previous estimates	(700)
Production	(600)
Balance at September 30, 2020	1,100
Revisions of previous estimates	700
Production	(800)
Balance at September 30, 2021	1,000

III. Standardized Measure of Discounted Cash Flows. The standardized measure of discounted cash flows from the Company’s oil and gas reserves is summarized below. Cash flows are discounted at an annual rate of 10%. This does not result in an estimate of fair market or present value. Prices are the average of the NYMEX settlement price on the first day of each month of the year, corrected to received price. Cash flows are computed by applying that price to estimated production, less estimated expenditures incurred in estimated production. Income tax expense is not included because of the anticipated utilization of net operating loss and depletion carryforwards. The estimation of reserves is complex and subjective, and reserve estimates fluctuate in light of new production data.

	At September 30
	2021	2020
Estimated future revenue	$51,000	$33,000
Estimated future expenditures	(6,000)	(2,000)
Estimated future net revenue	45,000	31,000
10% annual discount of estimated future net revenue	(12,000)	(8,000)
Present value of estimated future net revenue	$33,000	$23,000

IV. Summary of Changes in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

	Year ended September 30
	2021	2020
Present value of estimated future net revenue, beginning of year	$23,000	$58,000
Sales, net of production costs	(41,000)	(30,000)
Net change in prices and cost of future production	18,000	(7,000)
Revisions of quantity estimates	27,000	(16,000)
Accretion of discount	3,000	6,000
Change in production rates and other	3,000	12,000
Present value of estimated future net revenue, end of year	$33,000	$23,000

This Agreement is made December 6, 2021, effective as of October 1, 2021, between Altex Industries, Inc. (the "Company") and Steven Cardin ("Cardin"). 

In consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, it is agreed that:

In the event of termination for such Permanent Disability, the Company agrees (i) to pay or cause to be paid to Cardin a total sum, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, equal to 50% of the base salary to which he would have been entitled had he performed his duties for the Company for a period of two years after his termination, less the amount of any disability insurance benefits he received under policies maintained by the Company for his benefit, and (ii) to continue to provide Cardin with all fringe benefits being provided to him pursuant to Paragraph 5. hereof at the time of Cardin's Permanent Disability for a period of two years following such Permanent Disability. 

c.The Company shall have the right to terminate Cardin's employment pursuant to this Agreement for Cause, as hereinafter defined, only in accordance with the provisions of this Subparagraph 7.c.

e.The "Special Severance Payment" shall mean a lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) the product of two and the total base salary paid to or accrued with respect to Cardin by the Company pursuant to Subparagraph 3.a. hereof during the 12-month period immediately preceding the termination of Cardin's employment, (ii) the greater of (a) the product of two and the annual bonus paid to or accrued with respect to Cardin by the Company pursuant to Subparagraph 3.b. hereof with respect to the fiscal year of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year in which Cardin's employment shall have been terminated and (b) the product of three and the total base salary paid to or accrued with respect to Cardin by the Company pursuant to Subparagraph 3.a. hereof during the  

12-month period immediately preceding the termination of Cardin's employment, and (iii) any other compensation owed to Cardin pursuant to this Agreement at the time of such termination.

f.In the event that, as a result of any of the payments or other consideration provided for or contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, a tax (an "Excise Tax") shall be imposed upon Cardin or threatened to be imposed upon Cardin by virtue of the application of Section 4999(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") as now in effect or as the same may from time to time be amended, or any similar provisions of state or local tax law, the Company shall indemnify and hold Cardin harmless from and against all such taxes (including additions to tax, penalties, and interest and additional Excise Taxes, whether applicable to payments pursuant to this Paragraph 8. or payments pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement) incurred by, or imposed upon, Cardin and all expenses arising therefrom. Each indemnity payment to be made by the Company hereunder shall be increased by the amount of all Federal, state, and local tax liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest, and Excise Tax) incurred by, or imposed upon, Cardin so that the effect of receiving all such payments will be such that Cardin shall be held harmless on an after-tax basis from the amount of all Excise Taxes imposed upon payments made to Cardin by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and otherwise other than pursuant to this Subparagraph 8.f. and all taxes, penalties, and interest, and Excise Taxes with respect to payments pursuant to this Subparagraph 8.f. under the laws of all Federal, state, and local taxing authorities and so that Cardin shall not incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses of any kind or nature on account of the Excise Tax and the receipt of the indemnity payments to be made by the Company pursuant hereto. 

g.Each indemnity payment to be made to Cardin pursuant to Subparagraph 8.f. shall be paid within fifteen business days of delivery of a written request (a "Request”) for such payment to the Company (which request may be made prior to the time Cardin is required to file a tax return showing a liability for an Excise Tax or other tax). A Request shall set forth the amount of the indemnity payment due to Cardin and the manner in which such amount was calculated, and Cardin shall thereafter submit such other evidence of the indemnity to which Cardin is entitled as the Company shall reasonably request. 

h.Cardin agrees to notify the Company (i) within fifteen business days of being informed by a representative of the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") or any state or local taxing authority that the Service or such authority intends to assert that an Excise Tax is or may be payable, (ii) within fifteen business days of Cardin's receipt of a revenue agent's report (or similar document) notifying Cardin that an Excise Tax may be imposed, and (iii) within fifteen business days of Cardin's receipt of a Notice of Deficiency under Section 6212 of the Code or similar provision under state or local law which is based in whole or in part upon an Excise Tax and/or a payment made to Cardin pursuant to Subparagraph 8.f. 

i.After receiving any of the aforementioned notices, and subject to Cardin's right to control any and all administrative and judicial proceedings with respect to, or arising out of, the examination of Cardin's tax returns, except as such proceedings relate to an Excise Tax, the Company shall have the right (i) to examine all pertinent records, files, and other information and documentation in Cardin's possession or under Cardin's control, (ii) to be present and to participate in all administrative and judicial proceedings with respect to an Excise Tax, including the right to appear and act for Cardin at such proceedings in resisting any contentions made by the Service or a state or local taxing authority with respect to an Excise Tax and to file any and all written responses in connection therewith, (iii) to forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings, and conferences with the Service or a state or local taxing authority with respect to an Excise Tax on Cardin's behalf, and (iv) to pay any tax increase on Cardin's behalf and to control all administrative and judicial proceedings with respect to a claim for refund from the Service or state or local taxing authority with respect to such tax increase. 

j.The Company shall be solely responsible for all legal, accounting, or other expenses (whether of Cardin's representatives or the representative of the Company) incurred in connection with any such administrative or judicial proceedings insofar as they relate to an Excise Tax or other tax increases resulting therefrom, and Cardin agrees to execute and file, or cause to be executed and filed, such instruments and documents, including, without limitation, waivers, consents, and Powers of Attorneys, as the Company shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to enable it to exercise the rights granted to It pursuant to Subparagraph 8.i. hereof. 

k.The liability of the Company shall not be affected by Cardin's failure to give any notice provided for in Subparagraph 8.h. hereof unless such failure materially prejudices its ability to defend itself as provided for. Cardin may not compromise or settle a claim which he is indemnified against hereunder without the consent of the Company, unless Cardin can establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the decision of the Company was not made in the good faith belief that a materially more favorable result could be obtained by continuing to defend against the claim (or prosecute a claim for refund). 

9.Indemnification. The Company shall take such steps as Cardin shall reasonably deem necessary, including, but not limited, to obtaining liability insurance, to indemnify Cardin, to the fullest extent possible, under the provisions of the laws of any state in which the Company or, as applicable, any of its subsidiaries is incorporated or is qualified to do business for any act or failure to act in the course of his duties. 

10.Prior agreements; entire agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Cardin, and any and all prior written or oral agreements or understandings between the Company and Cardin are hereby superseded. 

11.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be held in any proceeding to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those to which it was held to be invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each remaining provision shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

12.No Waiver. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power, or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege hereunder. 

13.Headings and Other Matters. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered a part hereof. Words used herein, regardless of the number and gender specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other number, singular or plural, and any other gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, as the context requires. 

14.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on the Company and its successors, executors, and assigns, regardless of any change in the business structure of the Company, be it through spinoff, merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, or any other transaction. 

15.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflict of laws principles. 

16.Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Colorado, County of Denver, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid in those courts. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere. 

17.Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an agreement in writing between the Company and Cardin. 

18.Costs and expenses in event of breach. In the event that either party breaches any of the terms of this Agreement, the non-defaulting party shall be reimbursed by such defaulting party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the non-defaulting party enforcing the terms of this Agreement and/or recovering damages as a result of any such breach. 

19.Digital signatures. A copy of this Agreement in PDF or other digitized image format shall be deemed an original document for all purposes. 

20.Notices. Any notices, requests, instructions, or other documents to be given hereunder by Cardin to the Company or by the Company to Cardin shall be in writing and shall be sent by email. If to the Company then to: dawnk@kaczaraccounting.com. If to Cardin, then to: scardin@gmail.com. Notices will be deemed effective upon receipt.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Notes

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Nature of operations: Altex Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, jointly referred to as “the Company,” owns non-working interests in productive oil and gas properties located in Utah and Wyoming. The Company’s revenues are generated from interest income from cash deposits and from sales of oil and gas production. The Company’s operations are significantly affected by changes in interest rates and oil and gas prices.

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Altex Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Property and equipment: The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations, under which exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, annual delay rentals, and exploratory dry hole costs, are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to acquire unproved properties, to drill and to equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and to equip development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs relating to proved oil and gas properties are depleted on the units-of-production method based on estimated quantities of proved reserves and estimated ARO. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost thereof and the accumulated depreciation, depletion, and valuation allowance are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review compares the asset’s carrying value with management’s estimate of its undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated cash flows, an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated cash flows is recognized. No such impairment may be restored in the future. The Company’s proved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on an individual field basis.

Asset retirement obligations: If the Company acquires a working interest in an oil and gas property that is placed in service, it records a liability for its ARO. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value. Inherent in the estimation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including ultimate settlement amounts, inflation rates, discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in regulations. To the extent changes in these assumptions impact the estimate of the ARO, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.

Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Under this method, the incremental number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share (EPS) is the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and purchased using assumed proceeds. Diluted EPS amounts would include the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per

share are the same in the periods presented as there are no such outstanding instruments at September 30, 2021, or September 30, 2020.

Fair value measurements: “Fair value“ is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of fair value estimation, based on the observability of inputs: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2. Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes the amounts reported for the carrying value of cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses (related parties), and other accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes: The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company reports uncertainty in income taxes according to GAAP. There was no increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits during the current year. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expense. There was neither interest nor penalty at September 30, 2021.

Concentrations of credit risk: The Company maintains significant amounts of cash and sometimes permits cash balances to exceed insured limits.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Substantially all the Company’s revenue is from sales of oil and gas production, interest income, and, occasionally, bonus payments for mineral leases. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on sales date as reported to the Company by the operators of oil and gas production facilities in which the company has an interest. Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company accounts for mineral lease bonus payments in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas, and it classifies such income as other income. The Company recognizes revenue from mineral lease bonus payments when it has received both an executed agreement and the bonus payment, and the Company has no obligation to refund any portion of the payment. The Company classifies mineral lease bonus payments as other income because the leasing of mineral interests is not a principal business activity of the Company, and material amounts of mineral lease bonus payments do not occur with any regularity.

Other Income: Other income is any income the Company receives that is neither oil and gas sales attributable to the current period nor interest income. Other income includes out-of-period sales revenue, various items of miscellaneous income as well as lease bonus payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. The provisions of ASU 2016-2 also modify the definition of a lease and outline the requirements for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-2 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-2 effective October 1, 2019.

In December 2019 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU-2019-12 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 5 - Leases. The Company rents office space under an operating lease that terminates on June 30, 2025. The Company may cancel the lease upon 30 days’ notice and the payment of a $4,000 termination fee. If the landlord sells the premises to an unrelated third party, the new landlord may reduce the term to one year from the date of purchase. The Company incurred lease cost of $27,000 in 2021 and $26,000 in 2020. The landlord may increase annual rent no more than CPI. On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 842, “Leases.” The Company adopted ASC 842 using the optional modified retrospective transition method. Under this transition method, the Company did not recast the prior period financial statements. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability of $118,000 at September 30, 2020.

Note 10 - Supplemental Financial Data - Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited). The Company's operations are confined to the continental United States, and all the Company's reserves are proved, developed.

I. Capitalized Costs. Capitalized costs include the cost of properties, excluding any asset retirement obligations.

	September 30, 2021
Proved properties	$333,000
Accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and valuation allowance	(290,000)
Net capitalized cost	$43,000

II. Estimated Quantities of Reserves. Reed W. Ferrill & Associates, Inc., an independent engineering firm, prepared the Company’s estimate of reserves, future production, and income. The estimated reserves include only those quantities that are expected to be commercially recoverable at prices and costs in effect at the balance sheet dates under existing regulations and with conventional operating methods. Proved, developed reserves represent only those reserves expected to be recovered from existing wells.

	Oil in Barrels
Balance at September 30, 2019	2,400
Revisions of previous estimates	(700)
Production	(600)
Balance at September 30, 2020	1,100
Revisions of previous estimates	700
Production	(800)
Balance at September 30, 2021	1,000

III. Standardized Measure of Discounted Cash Flows. The standardized measure of discounted cash flows from the Company’s oil and gas reserves is summarized below. Cash flows are discounted at an annual rate of 10%. This does not result in an estimate of fair market or present value. Prices are the average of the NYMEX settlement price on the first day of each month of the year, corrected to received price. Cash flows are computed by applying that price to estimated production, less estimated expenditures incurred in estimated production. Income tax expense is not included because of the anticipated utilization of net operating loss and depletion carryforwards. The estimation of reserves is complex and subjective, and reserve estimates fluctuate in light of new production data.

	At September 30
	2021	2020
Estimated future revenue	$51,000	$33,000
Estimated future expenditures	(6,000)	(2,000)
Estimated future net revenue	45,000	31,000
10% annual discount of estimated future net revenue	(12,000)	(8,000)

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy

Property and equipment: The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas operations, under which exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, annual delay rentals, and exploratory dry hole costs, are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to acquire unproved properties, to drill and to equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and to equip development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs relating to proved oil and gas properties are depleted on the units-of-production method based on estimated quantities of proved reserves and estimated ARO. Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost thereof and the accumulated depreciation, depletion, and valuation allowance are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment when the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review compares the asset’s carrying value with management’s estimate of its undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated cash flows, an impairment equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated cash flows is recognized. No such impairment may be restored in the future. The Company’s proved oil and gas properties are assessed for impairment on an individual field basis.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset retirement obligations: If the Company acquires a working interest in an oil and gas property that is placed in service, it records a liability for its ARO. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value. Inherent in the estimation of ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including ultimate settlement amounts, inflation rates, discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in regulations. To the extent changes in these assumptions impact the estimate of the ARO, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.

Earnings (loss) per share: Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Under this method, the incremental number of shares used in computing diluted earnings per share (EPS) is the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and purchased using assumed proceeds. Diluted EPS amounts would include the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements: “Fair value“ is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three levels of fair value estimation, based on the observability of inputs: Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2. Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes the amounts reported for the carrying value of cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses (related parties), and other accrued expenses, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Substantially all the Company’s revenue is from sales of oil and gas production, interest income, and, occasionally, bonus payments for mineral leases. Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on sales date as reported to the Company by the operators of oil and gas production facilities in which the company has an interest. Interest income is recognized when earned. The Company accounts for mineral lease bonus payments in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 932, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas, and it classifies such income as other income. The Company recognizes revenue from mineral lease bonus payments when it has received both an executed agreement and the bonus payment, and the Company has no obligation to refund any portion of the payment. The Company classifies mineral lease bonus payments as other income because the leasing of mineral interests is not a principal business activity of the Company, and material amounts of mineral lease bonus payments do not occur with any regularity.

Other Income: Other income is any income the Company receives that is neither oil and gas sales attributable to the current period nor interest income. Other income includes out-of-period sales revenue, various items of miscellaneous income as well as lease bonus payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months. The provisions of ASU 2016-2 also modify the definition of a lease and outline the requirements for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-2 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-2 effective October 1, 2019.

In December 2019 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU-2019-12 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
