Note 17 – Segment Information
Continuing Operations
The Company is an operating, acquisition, and investment business. Subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest are consolidated. The Company generally has two reportable segments. The first reportable segment is its classic energy segment which consists of the Company’s operations and investment in the classic energy space. The classic energy segment includes the fair value of securities investments in (i) oil and gas through Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) stock, Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) stock, and Chevron Corp. (CVX) stock, (ii) uranium through Cameco Corp. (CCJ) stock, and (iii) coal through Core Natural Resources, Inc. (CNR) stock, plus the Company’s March 2025 acquisition of three fractional, non-operating royalty interests in oil and gas properties covering approximately one-hundred twenty-one (121) wells in the Spraberry Field of the Permian Basin in West Texas for total consideration of $1,369,899. The Company’s primary aim for its classic energy segment is to acquire revenue-generating energy assets, such as oil and gas royalties, oil service businesses, or other private energy operating companies as viable opportunities for such acquisition(s) become available. The second reportable segment consists of the Company’s historic residual operations, which include the fully impaired settlement payments receivable from G Farma and its co-defendants in the amount of $2,539,597 plus $564,973 accrued interest at September 30, 2025, and the operation of subsidiaries Mentor IP, Partner I, Partner II, and TWG. The Company also maintains a gold investment and short-term treasury exchange-traded funds for the purpose of facilitating investment into the Company to support potential future energy acquisitions and to collect low-risk interest to offset inflation, respectively. Additionally, the Company formerly had small investments in securities listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, an investment in note receivable from a non-affiliated party that was fully impaired on June 11, 2024, and the fair value of convertible notes receivable and accrued interest from NeuCourt, which on July 15, 2022, was exchanged for a NeuCourt SAFE security investment that is carried at cost as a long-term investment and is included with the Company’s long term investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The gold investment, short-term treasury exchange-traded funds, and the investment in NeuCourt are included in the Corporate and Eliminations section below.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chet Billingsley. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s operating segments on an ongoing weekly basis and he routinely monitors each segment’s exposure to risk due to potential economic factors, societal trends, and market conditions in order to assess and determine the proper allocation of resources related to segment expenses. The CODM uses segment operating income (loss) to review monthly, quarterly, and annual segment trends. Additionally, the CODM regularly monitors actual cash and cash equivalent balances.
The Company’s three (3) fractional royalty interests entitled the Company to receive a proportional share of revenues generated from the production of hydrocarbons from the underlying property, without incurring any operating or production costs. Working interest owners of our royalty interests bear the costs of operation and development.
Royalty revenue was $40,430 and $ for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and $117,430 and $ for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Accrued royalty income and severance taxes are estimated in the month oil is produced, when royalty income is earned. The difference between accrued royalty income and the amount received is adjusted when royalty payments are received.
Accrual of estimated royalty income was $38,456 and $0 as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, which represent the Company’s estimated receivables for approximately two and a half months. Royalty payments received were $21,312 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, which represent a portion of the royalty income earned by the Company in July 2025. Royalty payments received were $78,974 and $0, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represent a portion of the royalty income earned by the Company between March 2025 and July 2025. Actual and estimated severance taxes were approximately 5.22% of actual and accrued royalty income at the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The difference between the estimated incurred severance tax liability and the amount paid is adjusted upon the Company’s receipt of royalty statements. The Company’s CODM monitors changes in market conditions, commodity prices, production volumes, and other factors, which may materially impact the recoverability of our royalty interests.
The Company anticipates incurring annual ad valorem tax liability for its royalty interests in Texas. This liability would be assessed according to value by the county assessor in the locality where our royalty interests are located, in accordance with local and state law. Ad valorem tax liability was $0 and $0 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024.
Costs not allocated to our two reportable segments represent activities associated with the Company’s management and headquarters functions, especially with regard to accounting and audits for the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s headquarters functions also include monitoring our less than majority positions for value and investment security, and reviewing possible acquisition candidates and acquisition assets on an ongoing basis. These costs primarily included administrative expenses, professional service fees, advertising and promotion expenses, travel-related expenses, employee and officer salaries, employee and officer accrued benefits, employee and officer payroll tax expenses, board fees, and depreciation expenses. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses for a further disclosure and discussion of the Company’s management and headquarters related expenses.
Segment information for our current operating segments is as follows:
The following table reconciles operating segments and corporate-unallocated operating income (loss) to consolidated income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated income statements:
Discontinued Operation – Facilities Operations Segment
As disclosed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, we sold our entire ownership interest in WCI, our facilities operations segment, on October 4, 2023 for $6,000,000. Following our sale of WCI, we received no new income from WCI and had no further involvement or continuing influence over its operations. Consequently, our facilities operations segment was eliminated at the time of sale. Additionally, the results of operations associated with our facilities operations segment were excluded from our continuing operations and presented as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements. WCI worked with business park owners, governmental centers, and apartment complexes to reduce their facility-related operating costs. The WCI facilities operations segment is now reported as a discontinued operation. See Note 3.
