RESOURCES REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
COMPANY

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pardee Resources Company
(the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows
for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation,
and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements
that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Pardee Resources Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

1. DESCRIPTION OF Pardee Resources Company (the Company) is a natural resources company that conducts its business
BUSINESS AND through its subsidiaries principally in the timber, oil and gas, coal, agriculture, and alternative energy
ORGANIZATION industries. The Company’s subsidiaries own land, mineral rights, farmland, agriculture leases, and solar
photovoltaic systems, principally in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Colorado, New Jersey,
Texas, Arizona, California, and Portugal. Through its subsidiaries the Company grants timber-cutting
rights on certain of its properties, leases certain of its properties to third parties for coal mining and
processing, grows table grapes and almonds, and leases properties to third parties for oil and gas exploration
and production. Also, through its subsidiaries, the Company owns developed and undeveloped oil and
gas rights and participates in oil and gas prospects on properties leased from third parties.

2. SIGNIFICANT Principles of Consolidation

ACCOUNTING The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
POLICIES intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report other
interests in partnerships, and outside ownership interests in other consolidated but less than 100%
owned subsidiaries, as noncontrolling interests.

In 2018, the Company contributed $1,905,581 for a 55% interest in an almond farm limited liability
company (LLC). Management determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of
the LLC; therefore, it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (VIE) and consolidation is
required, under ASC 810. The Company is required to provide a capital contribution for expenditures
based on its percentage interest, and such contributions totaled $535,809 for 2019.

In 2018, the Company also contributed $2,572,912 for an 85% interest in a grape farm limited liability
company (LLC). Management determined that the Company has the power to direct the activities of the
LLC; therefore, it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity (VIE) and consolidation is required,
under ASC 810. The Company is required to provide a capital contribution for expenditures based on its
percentage interest and such contributions totaled $2,572,912 for 2019.

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, require 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.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when
the differences are expected to be realized or settled.

The Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is
required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has
identified its federal tax return and its state tax returns in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Colorado, New Jersey, Texas, Arizona, and California as major tax jurisdictions. The only periods subject
to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2016 through 2019 tax years. The periods
subject to examination for the Company’s state returns in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Colorado, New Jersey, Texas, Arizona, and California are years 2016 through 2019. The Company
believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will generally be sustained on audit and does
not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its consolidated financial position.

2. SIGNIFICANT Investment Tax Credits

ACCOUNTING Investment tax credits received from the Company’s investments in solar partnerships are recorded
POLICIES based upon estimates provided by the respective partnerships. Actual results could differ from those
(CONTINUED) estimates, upon the filing of the respective partnership’s tax returns.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at the gross outstanding amount.
Accounts receivable that are acquired are initially recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.
Provisions for uncollectible accounts are established based upon our collection experience and the
assessment of the collectability of specific amounts. Accounts receivable are written off in the period
in which the receivable is deemed uncollectible.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB – Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU
2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
 
The Company determines the appropriate method by which it recognizes revenue by analyzing the
nature of the products or services being provided as well as the terms and conditions of contracts
or arrangements entered into with its customers. The Company accounts for a contract when it has
approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms
are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.
A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct good or service (i.e., performance obligation)
identified in the contract, and each performance obligation is valued based on its estimated relative
standalone selling price.

The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue at a point in time when it satisfies a performance
obligation and transfers control of the product to the respective customer. The amount of revenue that is
recognized is based on the transaction price, which is the result of contracts and current market conditions.

Coal
Coal leases are typically based on a combination of a minimum dollar royalty per ton or a percentage
of the gross sales price per ton, whichever is greater, and minimum annual payments. Royalty
revenue is recognized at the time the mined coal is shipped from the property. Minimum payments
are generally recorded as deferred revenue. If the lessee recoups a minimum payment through
production, the deferred revenue attributable to the minimum payment is recognized as coal
royalty revenue in the period the minimum payments are recouped. If the minimum payment is
not recouped within the stated time period in the lease, the deferred revenue attributable to the
unrecouped minimum payment is recognized as revenue at the expiration of the recoupment period.

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas lease revenues are typically based on a combination of a percentage royalty of the gross
sales per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of gas and barrel of oil, lease bonus payments (paid at the time leases
are made) and annual delay rental payments. Royalties are recognized at the time gas flows through
a sales meter into a third-party pipeline and when oil is shipped from storage tanks. The Company
accounts for lease bonuses and delay rentals under the cost recovery method of accounting, whereby
equal amounts of revenue and expense are recognized as collections are made until all costs have been
recovered, postponing any recognition of profit until that time.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

2. SIGNIFICANT Timber
ACCOUNTING Timber leases typically require a minimum annual harvest, with timber royalties based on a percentage
POLICIES of the sales price per board foot of finished lumber by species. Revenue is recognized at the time the
(CONTINUED) logs are delivered to the mill.

The Company also receives revenues from timber bid sales. Timber bid sales are agreements in which
the buyer agrees to purchase and harvest specified timber on a tract of land over the terms of the contract.
The risk of loss and title to the trees, transfers to the buyer when the contract is signed. The buyer
pays the full purchase price when the contract is signed. The Company does not have any additional
performance obligations. Any uncut timber remaining at the end of the contract period reverts back to
the Company. Revenue from a timber bid sale is recognized when the contract is signed and payment
received, since the earnings process is complete.

Solar
Solar electric lease revenue and solar renewable energy credit revenue are typically based on a contracted
rate per kilowatt-hour. Revenue is recognized at the time the generated electricity passes through the
sales meter.

Grapes
The Company recognizes revenue at the time harvested grapes are delivered to a third-party marketer.

Depletion and Depreciation

Depletion of coal reserves and timber reserves are computed on the basis of tonnage of coal mined and
board feet harvested, respectively. Buildings and structures, office equipment, automobiles, and other
fixed assets are depreciated on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 25 years.

Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the fixed asset or oil and gas investment and depreciated
or depleted over their estimated useful lives. The liability is accreted to its future value over the period
to its estimated settlement date. The Company’s obligations primarily apply to the future plugging of
its oil and gas wells.

During 2018 and 2019, the Company disposed of certain oil and gas wells and released the future
obligation of plugging the wells to the purchaser. The impact of releasing the net ARO liability was
immaterial in both years.

Oil and Gas Accounting

The Company accounts for its oil and gas operations under the successful efforts method of accounting.
Under the successful efforts method, costs of productive wells, development dry holes, and productive
leases are capitalized and amortized on a units-of-production basis over the life of remaining proved
reserves. Cost centers for amortization purposes are determined on a field-by-field basis.

Exploratory expenses, including geological and geophysical expenses and annual delay rentals for oil
and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs, including stratigraphic
test wells, are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined to
be unsuccessful.

During 2019, there were no write-downs of the Company’s holdings and the Company recognized
dry hole expense of $5,000. During 2018, the Company wrote-down its Gulf Coast and Appalachian
holdings by $156,000 and $213,000, respectively, due to changes in estimated reserves. Also in 2018,
the Company recognized dry hole expense of $45,000 on its Gulf Coast drilling program. These items
are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, line item Operating Expenses, Oil and Gas.

2. SIGNIFICANT Stock-Based Compensation

ACCOUNTING The Company follows a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions.
POLICIES
(CONTINUED) Restricted Stock Awards
The Company has granted restricted stock awards to employees with both a service condition and
a market condition. These restricted stock awards vest only upon achievement of certain market
price thresholds of our common stock within a specified performance period, generally three years.
Additionally, such awards vest only if the recipient has provided the requisite service, which is generally
the same three year period in the market condition.

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is determined using a lattice valuation model. The model
takes into consideration the historical volatility of our stock and the risk-free interest rate at the date
of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for the
awards using the straight-line method. If a restricted stock award is forfeited, any previously recognized
stock-based compensation expense is not reversed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
line of credit, and notes payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their
fair values.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In conjunction with the modification of the existing loan agreement with Arizona Bank & Trust on
February 24, 2017 discussed in Long-Term Debt Note 5, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
agreement to manage interest rate exposures and hedge the changes in cash flows on the respective
variable rate components of its debt. These types of derivative financial instruments involve, to a
varying degree, elements of market and credit risk.

The Company recognizes the derivative instrument within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheets at fair value. Management determined that this derivative instrument did not qualify
as a hedge for financial reporting purposes. Consequently, changes in the fair value of the derivative
instrument were included within interest, other income and other expense in the consolidated statements
of operations and accrued liabilities within the consolidated statement of cash flows. Such changes
were not material. The instrument was terminated when the debt was paid off during 2019.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. No material dilution of earnings per share would result for the
periods after consideration of the effects of outstanding stock options and restricted share units.

Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The functional
currency of the Company’s non U.S. subsidiary is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of the foreign
subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates at the end of the period. Revenues
and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. Gains and losses
arising from the translation of assets and liabilities are included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reflected
within the Company’s results of operations. The Company has not utilized any foreign currency hedging
strategies to mitigate the effect of its foreign currency exposure.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from
transactions and other events and circumstances from non owner sources.

2. SIGNIFICANT Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ACCOUNTING In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard
POLICIES Update (ASU) No. 2016‐02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize most leases on
(CONTINUED) their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets. The Company
adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach and applying the
new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. Amounts and disclosures related
to periods prior to January 1, 2019 have not been restated and continue to be reported in accordance
with ASC 840.

The Company has elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within
ASC 842 to leases that commenced before January 1, 2019, including the package of practical expedients.
The election of the package of practical expedients resulted in the Company not reassessing prior
conclusions under ASC 840 related to lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for
expired and existing leases prior to January 1, 2019. The Company has also elected the practical expedient
to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or
terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of the entity’s
ROU assets. We have further elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements which permits
entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements in transition to determine
if they contain a lease. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not record short-term
leases on its consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company has made an accounting policy
election by class of underlying asset not to separate lease components from non‐lease components.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded total ROU assets of $4,520,800 and total lease liabilities of
$4,520,800 related to operating leases. The Company had no finance leases on adoption of the new
standard. See Note 11 for additional disclosures regarding our leases.

Cash Equivalents
The Company considers investments in money market accounts and U.S. Treasury Bills with initial maturities
of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated transactions and events subsequent to the reporting date through
April 10, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the
rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly
impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal,
state, and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in
the U.S. economy. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable
uncertainty around the duration. Therefore, while the Company expects this matter to negatively impact
its operating results, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.

In February 2020, the Company declared a dividend of $1.80 per common share payable on March 7, 2020.
Total dividend paid was $1,176,046.

4. EQUITY METHOD Since 2015, the Company has made a series of contributions to various solar partnerships whereby the
INVESTMENTS Company will receive the majority of profits and losses, including tax depreciation and investment tax
credits, through the first five to six years after the solar systems are placed into service. Subsequent
to the first five to six years, the majority of the profits and losses will be allocated to the other
investors. As discussed in Note 2, these investments have been accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. The following table is a summary of the activity within the equity method investment
balance during 2019.

Balance at December 31, 2018 $444,991

Distributions from partnerships (40,205)
Net Income allocated from partnerships 72,232
Amortization of transaction costs (34,588)
Balance at December 31, 2019 $442,430

5. LONG-TERM DEBT The Company has a $30 million revolving line of credit expiring June 30, 2021. There was $0 outstanding
on the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Amounts outstanding
under the credit agreement bear interest at varying rates based upon a LIBOR or the financial institution’s
prime rate of interest. The credit agreement is secured by the June 26, 2003 Powellton mineral interest
property purchase and the personal property assets of the Company. The credit agreement contains
financial covenants, which require the Company to maintain certain ratios with respect to leverage and
fixed charge coverage. All outstanding balances are due on the expiration date of the line of credit.

One of the Company’s subsidiaries had a non-recourse loan agreement with Arizona Bank & Trust. In
August 2019, the Company fully paid off the outstanding loan balance of $4,115,324.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2019.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Company maintains a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEPP) for all of its employees, whereby
contributions in the amount of 12% of employee compensation, up to statutory limits, are made to each
employee’s individual retirement account. The Company also maintains a supplemental pension plan
for employees with total compensation that exceeds the compensation allowed under the SEPP. Under
the terms of the supplemental plan, the Company will set aside 12% of that part of the employee’s
compensation that exceeds the statutory SEPP limit. This amount, which is unfunded, accrued interest
at 5.5% and 5.0% in 2019 and 2018, respectively. This rate is equal to the prime rate as of June 30 of
each year. The Company recognized expense for both plans for the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018 of $517,000 and $518,000, respectively.

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

7. FAIR VALUE In determining fair value, the Company uses quoted prices and observable inputs. Observable inputs
MEASUREMENTS are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data
obtained from sources independent of the Company.

The fair value hierarchy of observable inputs used by the Company is broken down into three levels
based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable inputs and quoted prices in active markets
for similar assets and liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and models that are significant to the overall
fair value measurement.

The Company used a third party to complete the valuation of its interest rate swap agreement, a derivative
instrument, which was considered a Level 2 asset and was measured at fair value on a recurring basis
based on the overnight index discounting framework. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated
on August 28, 2019 when the debt was paid off.

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ On December 13, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.5
EQUITY million of Pardee Resources Company’s common stock during 2019. Pursuant to such authorization,
during 2019, 19,519 shares of the Company’s treasury stock were acquired by the Company at an
average price of $161.58 per share for a total purchase price of $3,153,851.

On December 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.5
million of Pardee Resources Company’s common stock during 2018. Pursuant to such authorization,
during 2018, 2,741 shares of the Company’s treasury stock were acquired by the Company at an
average price of $183.44 per share for a total purchase price of $502,814. On August 16, 2018, the
Company issued a tender offer pursuant to the Board of Directors authorization on August 14, 2018 and
35,732 shares were purchased at $188.94 for a total purchase price of $6,751,204.

9. STOCK-BASED In 2004, the shareholders of Pardee Resources Company approved the adoption of the Pardee Resources
COMPENSATION Company 2004 Restricted Share Unit Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan reserved 72,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock for issuance to select members of management. During 2011, shareholders
approved an amendment to the 2004 Plan increasing the reserved shares from 72,000 to 144,000 shares.
Under the 2004 Plan, participants are eligible to receive an award of restricted share units, the number
of which can range from 0 to 160% of a target amount based on performance against predetermined
goals established annually by the Compensation Committee and satisfaction of a three-year service

Compensation costs related to stock-based compensation for the 2004 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2019
and 2018 was $976,464 and $886,371, respectively.

At December 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized
total $987,561. This expense will be recognized as follows: $665,019 in 2020 and $322,542 in 2021.

10. INCOME TAXES The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 consists of
the following:
Current Deferred Total
2019:
Federal $ 589,672 $1,418,269 $2,007,941
State 774,639 475,302 1,249,941
$1,364,311 $1,893,571 $3,257,882

2018:
Federal $ 26,734 $ 819,594 $ 846,328
State 138,727 198,298 337,025
$ 165,461 $1,017,892 $1,183,353

The 2019 and 2018 (benefit) provision for income taxes differ from the amounts that would have been derived
from the application of the expected statutory rate primarily as a result of the effects of state income taxes,
percentage depletion, and for 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 that reduced the tax rate for timber gains.

At December 31, 2019, the Company has a net deferred income tax liability of $17,819,556. The
primary deferred income tax components are related to property and equipment, oil and gas investments,
deferred revenue, partnership investment outside basis differences, and stock compensation. At
December 31, 2019, the Company had $18,042,708 of Pennsylvania net operating loss carryforward available
for utilization in future years. The loss carryforwards have a 20-year carryforward period and will expire
December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2038. The related deferred income tax asset for the Pennsylvania
net operating loss carryforward is $1,423,949. As our deferred income tax assets are recorded net of
valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or
some portion of the recorded deferred tax balance will not be realized in future periods, the Company
has provided a valuation allowance of $1,423,949 on this deferred tax asset. There were additional net
operating losses in various states. The following state net operating losses are available for utilization in
future years, and are deemed more likely than not to be realized. The gross operating loss carryforwards
amount to $362,655 for U.S. state taxes at December 31, 2019. These net operating loss carryforwards
relate to the 2016 tax period and expire on December 31, 2036.

The Company uses the deferred method of accounting for investment tax credit recognition. During
2019 and 2018, the Company did not earn any earned investment tax credits. The unused investment
tax credits as of December 31, 2019 are $1,482,929. They will expire in 2035, 2036, and 2037.

11 . LEASE The Company leases office space for its Philadelphia, Scott Depot, and Summersville operations. These
COMMITMENTS noncancelable leases expire at various dates through July 31, 2022. Rental payments may be adjusted
for increases in property taxes and electricity rates.

The Company has an agricultural license agreement for farmland in Kern County, California for the purpose
of producing table grapes. This noncancelable lease expires on December 31, 2040. The Company also
has a noncancelable agricultural lease in Portugal ending on October 31, 2042.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the
future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The lease term is determined
to be the noncancelable period including any lessee renewal options which are considered to be reasonably
certain of exercise. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such,
the Company used judgment to determine an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate
incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment.

ROU assets and lease liabilities (current and long-term) are separately reflected in our consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.

Components of lease expense are summarized as follows for the year ended December 31, 2019:
Operating lease cost $538,102
Variable lease cost 0
Short-term lease cost 0
Net lease cost $538,102

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is summarized as follows for the year ended
December 31, 2019:
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:
Operating cash flows from operating leases $522,982
Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations:
Operating leases $ 0

Lease term and discount rate information as of December 31, 2019 is summarized as follows:
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) Operating leases 19.3
Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 7.2%

Maturities of lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Year:
2020 $ 647,712
2021 642,539
2022 405,480
2023 282,561
2024 285,132

Present value of lease liabilities $4,127,746

12. CONTINGENCIES On December 7, 2007, Lexington Land Development, LLC (Lexington) filed litigation against certain parties
in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. Lexington claims that their 48-acre parcel was contaminated by a
release from a pipeline owned and operated by Shell Pipeline Company (Shell), as well as the oil and gas
exploration and production activities of other various defendants, including Zinn Petroleum Company
(Zinn). Lexington seeks various remedies, including remediation and damages. The Company is not a
defendant in this case; however, the Company has a minority interest in certain leases and wells operated
by Zinn, and, under joint operating agreements, the Company and certain other interest owners are
responsible for their respective shares of any damages or judgments sustained by Zinn.

12. CONTINGENCIES Under Louisiana law, this litigation triggered attention from regulatory agencies. The Louisiana
(CONTINUED) environmental regulatory agencies required Shell and other defendants, including Zinn, to submit plans
for assessing soil and ground water conditions at the site. Shell completed its assessment and remediation
which was approved by the agencies. Zinn’s environmental experts have concluded their assessment
and determined that Zinn’s operations, which began in 1992, have been in compliance with regulatory
standards. Zinn’s experts have further determined that the data indicating the presence of certain
constituents in the soil and shallow groundwater are the result of either former closed production storage
pits used by other operators before Zinn began operations on the property or natural environmental
conditions. Zinn’s experts have also opined that the presence of these constituents is, for the most
part, within applicable regulatory standards and not harmful to the environment. Finally, Zinn’s experts
have found defects in the methodology used by the plaintiff’s experts and recommend that decisions
regarding the need for assessment/restoration, as may be appropriate, be done under the direction of
the regulatory agency in order to achieve regulatory closure status for the site.

Discovery is not complete, and a trial date has not been set. On October 16, 2019, the District Court
ruled that plaintiff’s claims against co-defendant Chevron would be dismissed because they were not
filed timely. This is a favorable development but is being appealed by the plaintiff.

Zinn is vigorously defending both the civil and regulatory actions. This action is subject to substantial
uncertainties concerning the outcome of material factual and legal issues related to the litigation.
Accordingly, we cannot currently predict the manner and timing of the resolution of these matters and
are unable to estimate the amount of any possible losses, which could be material.

In 2016, the Company settled a lawsuit challenging its mineral servitude and lease in the Kings’ Dome
Field in Louisiana for an immaterial amount. Following this settlement, the Company’s lessee and that
lessee’s assignee filed cross claims for the royalties paid the Company under the lease in the event the
lessee and/or its assignee were held liable on the plaintiffs’ claims for recovery of production revenues.
The cross claimants recently agreed to dismiss their cross claims against the Company, and by order
of dismissal dated February 14, 2020 the court granted the parties’ joint motion to dismiss the cross
claims with prejudice. Therefore, all potential liability against the Company in connection with this
2016 legal action has been resolved.

In July 2017, a new legal action was filed against the Company in U.S. District Court for Western District
of Louisiana also challenging its mineral servitude and lease in the Kings’ Dome Field. The plaintiff
alleged that the Company’s mineral servitude terminated in 1999 under the Louisiana Mineral Code
due to non-use for a ten-year period, that the Company’s lease was consequently invalid, and that it
is entitled to recover production revenues. The Company reached a confidential settlement with the
plaintiff providing for the Company to make a payment of an immaterial amount. Two assignees of
the Company’s lessee filed cross claims against the Company for the royalties paid the Company as to
acreage under the mineral lease. In June 2018, the District Court dismissed the cross claims of one
of those assignees as being prescribed/time barred. The time for appealing the order of dismissal
has passed, thus the dismissal order is final and unappealable. The Company and the other assignee
reached a confidential settlement in January 2019 for an immaterial amount. Therefore, all potential
liability against the Company in connection with the 2017 legal action has been resolved.

In December 2015, the Company invested $7.7 million in a limited liability company (Fund) that purchased
mobile solar generators (MSGs) from DC Solar Solutions, Inc. (DC Solar) and, in turn, leased the generators
to DC Solar Distribution, Inc., an affiliate of DC Solar. The Company learned through public sources in early
2019 that the U.S. government seized substantially all of the assets of DC Solar and its affiliates in December
2018. DC Solar and its affiliates, including our lessee, subsequently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection in February 2019. An affidavit from a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent was filed
in February 2019 in the bankruptcy proceeding asserting that DC Solar was operating a fraudulent “Ponzi-like
scheme” and that a majority of the MSGs sold to investors and a majority of the lease revenues claimed to
have been received by DC Solar Distribution, Inc. may not have existed. The Chapter 11 proceeding was

12. CONTINGENCIES subsequently converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation. Due to the bankruptcy proceedings being converted
(CONTINUED) to Chapter 7 liquidation, the Company evaluated its remaining equity investment value of $485,332 and
recorded an impairment charge of $485,332 as of December 31, 2018.

An independent audit was completed in 2019 which ultimately located and identified all of the 125 MSGs
purchased by the Fund in 2015. In December 2019, the Company and the Fund, along with other
investors in other DC Solar sponsored funds and the funds in which they invested, filed a legal action
against numerous third-party professional firms who provided services to the investors in connection
with their respective purchases of MSGs. In January 2020, the principals of DC Solar pled guilty to
charges of criminal fraud and money laundering in U.S. District Court. The Company remains vigorously
engaged with other DC Solar investors, which include several major insurance companies and banks,
to determine the best path forward to protect our interests and minimize the financial impact on the
Company arising from this fraud. Due to various substantial uncertainties, the Company is currently
unable to determine the financial impact, if any, arising from this complex situation, however, this
impact could be as much as $7.2 million, which includes related tax impacts.

13. SIGNIFICANT In 2019, revenues from two customers each exceeded 10% and totaled 31% of operating revenues,
CUSTOMERS excluding gain on sale of assets, sold or disposed.

14. ACQUISITIONS In February 2018, the Company acquired, for $765,000, a natural resource property which included
AND DIVESTITURES 1,627 acres of surface and timberland and 2,602 acres of coal, oil and natural gas ownership, located in
Wyoming and McDowell Counties, West Virginia.

In November 2018, the Company acquired a 55% ownership interest in a company formed to develop
an almond tree farm in Portugal for $1.1 million up front, with a commitment of a total of $3.2 million
over 5 years. As of 2019 year end, the Company’s 55% equity interest totaled $2,441,390. At December
31, 2019, the farm was still in the development stage and all expenditures during the year have been
capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

During 2019, the Company recognized $1,382,000 in gains on sales of property and equipment to third
parties, primarily related to sales of land, timber and coal. This gain is presented within Coal & Minerals
Revenues and Timber & Surface Revenue within Revenues from Operations.

During 2018, the Company recognized $727,000 in gains on sales of property and equipment to third
parties, primarily related to sales of land and timber. This gain is presented within Timber & Surface
Revenue within Revenues from Operations.

15. RELATED PARTIES The Company has an 85% equity interest in a table grape ranch in California. The non-controlling equity
interest of 15% in the grape ranch is held, in part, by a related party. As a result of their shared
ownership, the related party is considered a related party to the Company. The related party is the asset
manager for all of the Company’s agricultural investments and receives a fee for its management services.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, included in the Company’s assets was approximately $225,000 and
$239,000, respectively, of prepaid management services to the related party.

In addition, the Company has a 55% interest in an almond tree farm in Portugal. The 45% non-controlling
equity interest in the almond tree farm is held by a related party and other investors. As a result of their
shared ownership, the related party and other investors are considered related parties to the Company.
Other investors that provide farming and other related crop development services related to the
almond development are also considered related parties.

In 2019 and 2018, the Company paid the other investors a total of approximately $1,826,000 and
$939,000, respectively, for services rendered.
