Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barnwell Industries, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Barnwell,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”), including a 77.6%-owned land investment general partnership (Kaupulehu Developments) and a 75%-owned land investment partnership (KD Kona 2013 LLLP). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Undivided interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Barnwell’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in variable interest entities in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” in this Form 10-Q are to U.S. dollars. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared by Barnwell in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Barnwell’s September 30, 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by our Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 (our “2023 Annual Report”). The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2024, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of Barnwell to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations, contract drilling estimated costs to complete, proved oil and natural gas reserves, and the carrying value of other assets, and such assumptions may impact the amount at which such items are recorded. Significant Accounting Policies Other than as set forth below, there have been no changes to Barnwell's significant accounting policies as described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2023 Annual Report. Accounts and Other Receivables Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is Barnwell’s best estimate of the amount of current expected credit losses in Barnwell’s existing accounts receivable and is based on the aging of the receivable balances, analysis of historical credit loss rates, and current and future economic conditions affecting collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Barnwell does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Derivative Instruments Barnwell may utilize physical forward commodity contracts to mitigate market price risk on its oil and natural gas output when deemed appropriate. Purchase and sale contracts with a fixed price determined at inception are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as derivative financial instruments if such contracts are readily convertible to cash - unless the contracts are eligible for and elected as the normal purchases and normal sales exception (“NPNS”); in which case, the contracts are recorded on an accrual basis and the Company recognizes the amounts relating to such transactions during the period when the commodities are physically delivered. The Company generally applies the NPNS exception to eligible oil and natural gas contracts to purchase or sell quantities it expects to use or sell in the normal course of business. The Company has not traded in any derivative contracts other than where the NPNS exception is applied, and it does not apply hedge accounting. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including but not limited to trade receivables. The FASB has subsequently issued other related ASUs which amend ASU 2016-13 to provide clarification and additional guidance. The Company adopted the provisions of this ASU effective October 1, 2023. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.
