What the changes say

  • Strategic alternatives and land sales dominate risks, alongside ongoing dependence on third-party oil, gas, and timber production revenues in Louisiana.

What changed since the prior 10-K

New

  • New

    Even if a transaction is entered into, we cannot assure you that it will be successful, achieve our objectives or have a positive effect on stockholder value. Our Board of Directors may also determine that no transaction is in the best interest of our stockholders

    Efforts to partition co-owned lands or pursue strategic alternatives may incur significant expenses, court-ordered litigation, and management distraction without guaranteeing stockholder value.

  • New

    We earn a significant portion of our operating income from the sale of commodities produced from our lands: oil and gas, and timber. Fluctuations in the prices for these commodities will directly impact our cash flow, net income and financial condition

    Declines in commodity prices for oil, gas, timber, and crops grown by tenant farmers could directly reduce our cash flow and net income.

Dropped

  • Dropped

    We cannot assure you that our exploration of strategic alternatives will result in us pursuing a transaction or that any such transaction would be successfully completed. The process of reviewing strategic alternatives or its conclusion could adversely affect our business and our stockholders

    Exploration of strategic alternatives may not result in a transaction.

  • Dropped

    A recession in Louisiana where our lands are located may depress the values of our lands and falling commodity prices could continue to reduce certain of our revenue streams

Reworded

  • 78% rewritten

    Since the April 18, 2024 update, management and the Board subcommittee, together with the Company’s financial advisors, continue to engage with interested parties

    Updated to disclose the November 18, 2025 sale of approximately 6,548 wholly-owned acres in Louisiana for $8,618,021.70 in cash.

    Was: Since the April 18, 2024 update, management and the Board subcommittee, together with the Company’s financial advisors, have continued working with interested parties and have advanced discussions with a potential counterparty

  • 42% rewritten

    A significant portion of our revenues is derived from oil and gas activities on our lands. We rely on third parties to conduct that activity

    Removed the explicit mention that operating income is earned directly from the sale of oil, gas, and timber commodities produced from lands.

  • 31% rewritten

    The future consequences of pandemics, wars or other hostilities, geopolitical instability, widespread cyberattacks, climate events or other national or global crises are uncertain and we cannot predict how such events may affect our future financial condition and results of operations

    Added international trade measures, disputes, and changes in U.S. government spending to the list of potential global crises and macroeconomic uncertainties.

All 17 risk factors
