Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)606), which supersedes the most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Subsequently, the FASB has issued updates which provide additional implementation guidance. The new guidance requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. WeThe Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 applying the modified retrospective approach. We haveThe Company has completed ourits review of all revenue sources in scope for the new standard, and stumpage agreements are within this scope. In accordance with the new standard, the basis for determining revenue and expenses allocable to stumpage agreements (timber revenue) was not modified. There was no net cumulative effect adjustment for this change as of January 1, 2018.

 

Interim results are not necessarily indicativeIn November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of results forCash Flows (Topic 230), which provides guidance requiring companies to report net cash provided or used by operating, investing and financing activities and the net effect of those flows on the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents during the period.  The statement of cash flows shall report that information in a full year. These financial statementsmanner that reconciles beginning and accompanying notes should be readending totals of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The companies shall also disclose information about the nature of the restrictions on restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents.  The Company adopted this guidance in conjunctionthe first quarter of 2018.  In accordance with the Company’s Form 10-Knew standard, no modification to our presentation for restricted cash was made. 

Note 2:Restricted Cash

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company closed on the sale of four parcels of land all of which were structured as a “deferred exchange using a qualified intermediary” pursuant to Paragraph 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (1031 Exchange) for income tax purposes. The net proceeds from these transactions were $993,160, of which $873,355 remained in restricted cash. In August 2018, the funds were received and therefore restricted cash was $0 at September 30, 2018. Subsequent to the sale, identified properties for the year ended December 31, 2017 purposes of the 1031 Exchange were deemed not acceptable after preliminary due diligence. The 1031 Exchange was not completed.

Cautionary Statement

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis includes a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.

Overview

CKX Lands, Inc. began operations in 1930 under the name Calcasieu Real Estate & Oil Co., Inc. It was originally organized as a spin-off by a bank operating in southwest Louisiana. The purpose of the spin-off was to form an entity to hold non-producing mineral interests which regulatory authorities required the bank to dispose of. Over the years, as some of the mineral interests began producing, the Company used part of the proceeds to acquire land. In 1990, the Company made its largest acquisition when it was one of four purchasers that bought a fifty percent undivided interest in approximately 35,575 acres in southwest Louisiana.


Today the Company’s income is derived from mineral royalties, timber sales and surface payments from its lands. CKX receives income from royalty interests and mineral leases related to oil and gas production, timber sales, and surface rents. Although CKX is active in the management of its land and planting and harvesting its timber, CKX is passive in the production of income from oil and gas activities in that CKX does not explore for oil and gas,or operate wells. These oil and gas activities are performed by unrelated third parties.

The Company’s oil and gas income fluctuates as new oil and gas production is discovered on Company land and then ultimately depletes or becomes commercially uneconomical to produce. The volatility in the daily commodity pricing of a barrel of oil or an MCF of gas will also cause fluctuations in the Company’s oil and gas income.

CKX has small royalty interests in 31 different producing oil and gas fields. The size of each royalty interest is determined by the Company’s net ownership in the acreage unit for the well. CKX’s royalty interests range from 0.0045% for the smallest to 7.62% for the largest. As the Company does not own or operate the wells, it does not have access to any reserve information. 

Timber income is derived from timber on Company lands. The timber income will fluctuate depending on our ability to secure stumpage agreements in the regional markets, timber stand age, and/or stumpage commodity prices. Timber is a renewable resource that the Company actively manages.

Surface income is earned from various recurring and non-recurring sources. Recurring surface income is earned from lease arrangements for farming, recreational and commercial uses. Non-recurring surface income can include such activities as pipeline right of ways, and temporary worksite rentals.

In managing its lands, the Company relies on and has established relationships with real estate, forestry, environmental and agriculture consultants as well as attorneys with legal expertise in general corporate matters, real estate, and minerals.

The Company actively searches for additional real estate for purchase in Louisiana with a focus on southwest Louisiana. When evaluating unimproved real estate for purchase, the Company will consider numerous characteristics including but not limited to timber fitness, agriculture fitness, future development opportunities and/or mineral potential. When evaluating improved real estate for purchase, the Company will consider characteristics including but not limited to geographic location, quality of existing revenue streams, and/or quality of the improvements.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Lease and geophysical revenues were $3,540 in 2017 and $5,000 in 2016 amounts.increased for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, by $3,660. These revenues are dependent on oil and gas producers’ activities, are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.

Management believes oil and gas activity is driven by the current and forecasted commodity prices, demand for oil and gas, and upstream and downstream industry activity. Based on available public information, management believes that oil and gas activity which includes oil and gas production as well as lease rentals will be comparable to 2017 annual reported amounts.Timber

 

DuringTimber revenue was $56,929 for the first quarter of 2018, the Company received $178,449 in timber revenues. In 2017, the Company receivedthree months ended September 30, 2018. There was no timber revenues. We believerevenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in revenues is due to our continued marketing of our timber and securing stumpage agreements over the last couple oftwo years and dryer weather. We believe the market will continue to be challenging during 2018.

Surface

 

Surface revenue increased fromrevenues decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, by $42,848. This is primarily due to increasing leasing fees for our hunting and agriculture properties as well as increased lease activity related southwest Louisiana economic growth. During 2018, we received no revenue related to pipeline right of way agreements.agreements that were received in 2017 and not in 2018.  As previously noted by management, pipeline, utility and other right of ways are not unusual to the Company; however, these types of revenue are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.
