Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
This Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors, that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the factors listed and described at Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been changes to the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), including significant global economic and pandemic factors occurring during the first quarter of 2020 and continuing into the second quarter of 2020 which are described in the following two paragraphs.
At the end of 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China. In the first quarter of 2020 and continuing currently, COVID-19 has spread to other countries including the U.S. This pandemic has drastically weakened the global demand for oil, putting unprecedented pressure on the price of oil. In addition, the delay through the end of the first quarter of 2020 of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia to agree on production cuts, caused oil prices to drop dramatically in the first quarter of 2020 to as low as $6.00 per barrel which is approximately one-tenth of the oil price at the beginning of 2020. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2020, for the first time ever, the price of a barrel of oil plunged below zero dollars on the West Texas Intermediate Crude Index going as low as negative $37.63 due to concerns about dwindling capacity to store all the crude oil produced in excess of demand.
During the first half of 2020 and continuing subsequent to the end of the quarter, attempts at containment of COVID-19 have resulted in decreased economic activity which has adversely affected the broader global economy. As the economy dramatically stalled, the demand for oil and natural gas substantially weakened. Many countries around the world, as well as the majority of the states in the United States, ordered their citizens to stay home in order to contain the spread of the virus. As part of the “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders in effect during the first half of the year, fewer businesses than normal are open, less people are traveling to work, and more people are working from home which has reduced the demand for oil and natural gas. Airlines have dramatically cut back on flights as the number of passengers has fallen off. Fewer cars on the road and planes in the sky mean far less demand for oil. At this time, the full extent to which COVID-19 will negatively impact the global economy and our business is uncertain, but pandemics or other significant public health events will most likely have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
10
The Company has felt the negative effects of these plummeting product prices and implemented cost cutting measures including temporary company-wide reductions in compensation for Company employees, including key and technical employees and officers, effective April 1, 2020. To further reduce expenses, the Company temporarily shut in wells that were not profitable when commodity prices plummeted. The Company is forecasting that oil and natural gas prices will remain lower than 2019 prices through the end of 2020, which the Company believes may cause an operating loss for all of 2020 in spite of the Company’s cost cutting measures. Operating losses are very likely to continue until oil and natural gas prices return to substantially higher levels on a continued basis.
Other uncertainties regarding the global economic and financial environment could lead to an extended national or global economic recession. A slowdown in economic activity caused by a recession would likely reduce national and worldwide demand for oil and natural gas and result in lower commodity prices for long periods of time. Costs of exploration, development and production have not yet adjusted to current economic conditions, or in proportion to the significant reduction in product prices. Prolonged, substantial decreases in oil and natural gas prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations, and could further limit the Company's access to liquidity and credit, and could hinder its ability to satisfy its capital requirements.
In the past several years, capital and credit markets have experienced volatility and disruption. Given the levels of market volatility and disruption, the availability of funds from those markets may diminish substantially. Further, arising from concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of borrowers specifically, the cost of accessing the credit markets has increased as many lenders have raised interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, or altogether ceased to provide funding to borrowers.
Due to these potential capital and credit market conditions, the Company cannot be certain that funding will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is evaluating whether current cash balances and cash flow from operations alone would be sufficient to provide working capital to fully fund the Company's operations. Accordingly, the Company is evaluating alternatives, such as joint ventures with third parties, or sales of interest in one or more of its properties. Such transactions, if undertaken, could result in a reduction in the Company's operating interests or require the Company to relinquish the right to operate the property. There can be no assurance that any such transactions can be completed or that such transactions will satisfy the Company's operating capital requirements. If the Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient funding or completing an alternative transaction on a timely basis on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be required to curtail its expenditures or restructure its operations, and the Company would be unable to continue its exploration, drilling, and recompletion program, any of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There could be adverse legislation which if passed, would significantly curtail our ability to attract investors and raise capital. Proposed changes in the Federal income tax laws which would eliminate or reduce the percentage depletion deduction and the deduction for intangible drilling and development costs for small independent producers, will significantly reduce the investment capital available to those in the industry as well as our Company. Lengthening the time to expense seismic costs will also have an adverse effect on our ability to explore and find new reserves.
Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such matters; nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and current reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Forms 8-K or otherwise.

There have been changes to the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”), including significant global economic and pandemic factors occurring during the first six months of 2021 and continuing into the third quarter of 2021 which are described in the following two paragraphs.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures being taken to address and limit the spread of the virus adversely affected the economies and financial markets of the world, resulting in an economic downturn beginning in early 2020 that negatively impacted global demand and prices for crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas. The effects of COVID-19 mitigation efforts, including the wide availability of vaccines, combined with the waning intensity of the pandemic, have resulted in increased demand and prices for crude oil and condensate. In the first six months of 2021, demand and prices for crude oil and condensate returned to near pre-pandemic levels. . Uncertainty related to variants of the COVID-19 virus may cause a fluctuation in demand and prices for crude oil and condensate in the third quarter of 2021 and beyond.
In early 2021, the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia (OPEC+) met and agreed to taper off certain of their production curtailments (agreed to in April 2020) through March 2021. Subsequent to the meeting, Saudi Arabia announced that it would unilaterally cut its production by an additional one million barrels per day in February 2021 and March 2021. In April 2021, OPEC+ indicated it would continue to ease production curtailments starting in May 2021 as it expected the intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic would subside and containment measures would be scaled back, leading to expected increases in demand for crude oil production in the second half of 2021.
Other uncertainties regarding the global economic and financial environment could lead to an extended national or global economic recession. A slowdown in economic activity caused by a recession would likely reduce national and worldwide demand for oil and natural gas and result in lower commodity prices for long periods of time. Costs of exploration, development and production have not yet adjusted to current economic conditions, or in proportion to the significant reduction in product prices. Prolonged, substantial decreases in oil and natural gas prices would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations, and could further limit the Company's access to liquidity and credit and could hinder its ability to satisfy its capital requirements.

Lengthening the time to expense seismic costs will also have an adverse effect on our ability to explore and find new reserves.
Other factors that may affect the demand for oil and natural gas, and therefore impact our results, include technological improvements in energy efficiency; seasonal weather patterns; increased competitiveness of, or government policy support for, alternative energy sources; changes in technology that alter fuel choices, such as technological advances in energy storage that make wind and solar more competitive for power generation; changes in consumer preferences for our products, including consumer demand for alternative fueled or electric transportation or alternatives to plastic products; and broad-based changes in personal income levels.
Commodity prices and margins also vary depending on a number of factors affecting supply. For example, increased supply from the development of new oil and gas supply sources and technologies to enhance recovery from existing sources tend to reduce commodity prices to the extent such supply increases are not offset by commensurate growth in demand.
Other sections of this report may also include suggested factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such matters; nor can we assess the impact of all such matters on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

In general, revenues from oil and gas producing operations experienced a significant decreaseincrease for the six months ended 20202021 compared to the same period in 2019.2020. In addition, the second quarter results from operations also experienced a significant declineincrease over the same period in 20192020 as well as a decline froman increase in operations during the first quarter of 2020.2021. The declinesincreases result in part from decreasedincreased oil and gas prices, as well as production declines.increases in crude oil production. A significant number of both operated wells and non-operated wells were shut-in during the second quarter of 2020 due to thehistoric low oil and gas prices. Operators shut inprices and most of these wells where practicable, waiting for the low oil priceswere returned to rebound. Prices have rebounded slightly, but not to pre second quarter 2019 levels.
production and producing as of June 30, 2021.
Revenues from lease operations were $116,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared to $119,000 in the first six months of 2020, compared to $187,000 in the first six months of 2019, a decrease of approximately $68,000$3,000 or 36.4%2.5%. This decrease is due to a reduction in field supervision charges. Revenues from lease operations are derived from field supervision charged to operated leases along with operator overhead charged to operated leases.
Revenues from gas gathering, compression and equipment rental for the first six months of 2020 were $45,000 compared to $66,000 for the same period in 2019, a decrease of approximately $21,000 or 31.8%.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company's operating capital needs, as well as its capital spending program are generally funded from cash flow generated by operations. The Company is operating at a loss and projects to continue to operate at a deficient through the end of the year unless oil and natural gas prices rebound substantially. Because future cash flow is subject to a number ofseveral variables, such as the level of production and the sales price of oil and natural gas, the Company can provide no assurance that its operations will provide cash sufficient to maintain current levels of capital spending. Accordingly, the Company may be required to seek additional financing from third parties in order to fund its exploration and development programs.
