BARNWELL INDUSTRIES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.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 two 80%-owned joint ventures (Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP and Kaupulehu Investors, LLC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012 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, 2013, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 Accounting Policies

Barnwell’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Barnwell stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 777,250 and 815,375 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to the net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders.

Reconciliations between net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders and common shares outstanding of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations are detailed in the following tables:

	Three months ended June 30, 2013

Kaupulehu 2007 currently owns one luxury residence that is available for sale in the Lot 4A Increment I area located in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, north of Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka’upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean.

In April 2012, Kaupulehu 2007 entered into a contract to sell one of the luxury residences at a price below carrying value. Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Barnwell recorded a $1,854,000 reduction in the carrying value of real estate held for sale to reflect this decline in the estimated market value. The sale of the residence closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 for $5,975,000 for a nominal loss. No reduction in the carrying value was necessary during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

A summary of Barnwell’s investments as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 is as follows:

Investment in two residential parcels	$	2,331,000
Investment in land interest – Lot 4C	50,000
Total investments	$	2,381,000

5.LONG-TERM DEBT

A summary of Barnwell’s long-term debt is as follows:

	June 30,				September 30,
	2013				2012
Canadian revolving credit facility		$	12,000,000			$	12,000,000
Real estate loan		4,772,000				5,164,000
		16,772,000				17,164,000
Less: current portion		(4,772,000		)		(5,764,000		)
Total long-term debt		$	12,000,000			$	11,400,000

Canadian revolving credit facility

In March 2013, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was renewed through April 2014 for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, unchanged from the prior year amount, or US$19,026,000 at the June 30, 2013 exchange rate. Unused credit available under this facility was US$7,026,000 and the interest rate on the facility was 2.70% at June 30, 2013.

The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at the Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at the Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance. Under the financing agreement, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2014. Subject to that review, the facility may be renewed for one year with no required debt repayments or converted to a two-year term loan by the bank. If the facility is converted to a two-year term loan, Barnwell has agreed to the following repayment schedule of the then outstanding loan balance: first year of the term period – 20% (5% per quarter), and in the second year of the term period – 80% (5% per quarter for the first three quarters and 65% in the final quarter). Based on the terms of this agreement, if Royal Bank of Canada were to convert the facility to a two-year term loan upon its next review in April 2014, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2014. As no debt repayments will be required on or before June 30, 2014, the entire outstanding loan balance at June 30, 2013 is classified as long-term debt.

Real estate loan

Barnwell, together with its real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule. The monthly payment will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of a house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018.

The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of a house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

12

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the loan covenants.

The home collateralizing the loan is currently available for sale; therefore, the entire balance outstanding at June 30, 2013 under the term loan has been classified as a current liability.

6.RETIREMENT PLANS

Barnwell sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (“Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of its U.S. employees. Additionally, Barnwell sponsors a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”), a noncontributory supplemental retirement benefit plan which covers certain current and former employees of Barnwell for amounts exceeding the limits allowed under the Pension Plan, and a postretirement medical insurance benefits plan (“Postretirement Medical”) covering eligible U.S. employees.

The following tables detail the components of net periodic benefit cost for Barnwell’s retirement plans:

	Pension Plan								SERP							Postretirement Medical
	Three months ended June 30,
	2013				2012				2013				2012			2013			2012

Net periodic benefit cost		$	219,000			$	311,000			$	94,000			$	95,000		$	150,000		$	140,000

13

Barnwell contributed $250,000 to the Pension Plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and does not expect to make any further contributions during the remainder of fiscal 2013. The SERP and Postretirement Medical plans are unfunded, and Barnwell will fund benefits when payments are made. Barnwell does not expect to make any benefit payments under the Postretirement Medical plan during fiscal 2013 and expected payments under the SERP for fiscal 2013 are not material. Fluctuations in actual equity market returns as well as changes in general interest rates will result in changes in the market value of plan assets and may result in increased or decreased retirement benefits costs and contributions in future periods.

7.INCOME TAXES

The components of loss before income taxes, after adjusting the loss for non-controlling interests, are as follows:

	Three months ended								Nine months ended
	June 30,								June 30,
	2013				2012				2013				2012
United States		$	(1,428,000	)		$	(939,000	)		$	(3,730,000	)		$	(5,241,000	)
Canada		254,000				(689,000		)		(4,470,000		)		837,000
		$	(1,174,000	)		$	(1,628,000	)		$	(8,200,000	)		$	(4,404,000	)

The components of the income tax provision (benefit) are as follows:

	Three months ended								Nine months ended
	June 30,								June 30,
	2013				2012				2013				2012
Current		$	(409,000	)		$	(420,000	)		$	(65,000	)		$	243,000
Deferred		460,000				158,000				(1,220,000		)		(18,000		)
		$	51,000			$	(262,000	)		$	(1,285,000	)		$	225,000

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was (4%) and 16%, respectively, as compared to 16% and (5%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

14

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax (losses) earnings due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by current period U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

Included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 is a $93,000 benefit from the lapsing of the statute of limitations for uncertain tax positions related to Canadian income taxes. There is no such benefit included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain of our assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. The following table provides carrying value and fair value measurement information for nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (there were no nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded for such assets and liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013):

		Fair Value Measurements Using:
	Carrying	Quoted	Significant		Total Reduction of
	Amount	Prices in	Other	Significant	Carrying Value
	as of	Active	Observable	Unobservable	for the nine
	June 30,	Markets	Inputs	Inputs	months ended
	2012	(Level 1)	(Level 2)	(Level 3)	June 30, 2012
Real estate held for sale	$    5,208,000	$     -	$  5,208,000	$            -	$     1,854,000

The fair value of real estate held for sale was based on the sales price of the residence sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, which is similar and located adjacent to the remaining residence. This fair value measurement has been classified as a Level 2 valuation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued current liabilities and payables to joint interest owners approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the terms approximate current market terms for similar debt instruments of comparable risk and maturities.

11.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

As of June 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $706,000, which has not been discounted, was accrued in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount accrued is the estimated liability for probable environmental remediation costs for soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate the currently identified sites, and sites identified in the future, if any, could be incurred. No accrual for environmental remediation costs was necessary at September 30, 2012.

12.INFORMATION RELATING TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

	Nine months ended June 30,
	2013			2012
Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information:
Cash paid during the year for:
Interest		$	425,000		$	586,000
Income taxes		$	422,000		$	455,000

Capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas exploration and development increased $1,259,000 and decreased $2,041,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, capital expenditure accruals related to oil and natural gas asset retirement obligations increased $48,000 and $29,000, respectively.

13.       OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company performs quarterly ceiling test calculations. Barnwell’s net capitalized costs exceeded the ceiling limitations at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $4,506,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012. The reduction is included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Reduction of carrying value of assets.”

14.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There were no material subsequent events that would require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information

For the Purpose Of “Safe Harbor” Provisions Of The

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This Form 10-Q, and the documents incorporated herein by reference, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A forward-looking statement is one which is based on current expectations of future events or conditions and does not relate to historical or current facts. These statements include various estimates, forecasts, projections of Barnwell’s future performance, statements of Barnwell’s plans and objectives, and other similar statements. Forward-looking statements include phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “will be,” “should,” or similar expressions. Although Barnwell believes that its current expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it cannot assure that the expectations contained in such forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such statements. The risks, uncertainties and other factors that might cause actual results to differ materially from Barnwell’s expectations are set forth in the “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of Barnwell’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, and Barnwell expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has determined that our most critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to the evaluation of recoverability of assets, depletion of our oil and natural gas properties, income taxes and asset retirement obligation which are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013. We continue to monitor our accounting policies to ensure proper application of current rules and regulations.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards on Future Filings

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not

19

required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this standard will impact the presentation of Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date.” This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. Examples of obligations within this guidance are debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The amendments are effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity.” This update provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, these amendments provide guidance on the release of cumulative translation adjustments in partial sales of equity method investments and in step acquisitions. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” which provides guidance on when and how to apply the liquidation basis of accounting and on what to disclose. The update requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent, as defined in the update. The amendments are effective on a prospective basis for an entity that determines liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on Barnwell’s consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Barnwell is engaged in the following lines of business: 1) exploring for, developing, producing and selling oil and natural gas in Canada (oil and natural gas segment), 2) investing in land interests in Hawaii (land investment segment), 3) drilling wells and installing and repairing water pumping systems in Hawaii (contract drilling segment), and 4) developing homes for sale in Hawaii (residential real estate segment).

Oil and Natural Gas Segment

Barnwell is involved in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties in Canada where we initiate and participate in exploratory and developmental operations for oil and natural gas on properties in which we have an interest, and evaluate proposals by third parties with regard to participation in such exploratory and developmental operations elsewhere.

20

Land Investment Segment

The land investment segment is comprised of the following components:

1)  Barnwell owns a 77.6% controlling interest in Kaupulehu Developments, a Hawaii general partnership which owns interests in leasehold land at Kaupulehu located approximately six miles north of the Kona International Airport in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, adjacent to Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka’upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean. Kaupulehu Developments’ interests include the following:

·The right to receive payments from WB KD Acquisition, LLC (“WB”) and WB KD Acquisition II, LLC (“WBKD”), entities not affiliated with Barnwell and its subsidiaries, resulting from the sale of lots and/or residential units within approximately 870 acres of the Kaupulehu Lot 4A area by WB and WBKD in two increments (“Increment I” and “Increment II”). Increment I is an area zoned for approximately 80 single-family lots and a beach club on the portion of the property bordering the Pacific Ocean, and is partially developed. The purchasers of the 80 single-family lots will have the right to apply for membership in the Kuki’o Golf and Beach Club, which is located adjacent to and south of the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka’upulehu. Increment II is the remaining portion of the approximately 870-acre property, is zoned for single-family and multi-family residential units and a golf course and clubhouse, and is not yet developed.

·Approximately 1,000 acres of vacant leasehold land zoned conservation in the Kaupulehu Lot 4C area located adjacent to the 870-acre Lot 4A described above.

2)  Barnwell owns an 80% controlling interest in Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP (“Kaupulehu 2007”), a Hawaii limited liability limited partnership. Kaupulehu 2007 owns two residential parcels in the Kaupulehu area that are held for investment.

Contract Drilling Segment

Barnwell drills water, water monitoring and geothermal wells and installs and repairs water pumping systems in Hawaii. Contract drilling results are highly dependent upon the quantity, dollar value and timing of contracts awarded by governmental and private entities and can fluctuate significantly.

Residential Real Estate Segment

Barnwell, through its 80%-owned real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, constructs and sells luxury single-family homes. Kaupulehu 2007, in addition to the two parcels described above, owns a luxury residence in the Kaupulehu area that is available for sale. Kaupulehu 2007 does not currently have any homes under construction.

Results of Operations

Summary

Barnwell incurred a net loss of $1,225,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a $141,000 decrease from a net loss of $1,366,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The following factors affected the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year period:

·A $916,000 increase in oil and natural gas segment operating profit, before taxes, primarily due to increased prices received for natural gas and oil;

·A $238,000 decrease in contract drilling operating results, before taxes, primarily resulting from decreased water well drilling activity and fewer pump contracts; and

·A $228,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

Barnwell incurred a net loss of $6,915,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, a $2,286,000 increase from a net loss of $4,629,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. The following factors affected the results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the prior year period:

·A non-cash reduction of the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties of $4,506,000 recorded in the current year period as compared to a $1,854,000 reduction of the carrying value of residential real estate, before impact of non-controlling interests, recorded in the prior year period;

·An $873,000 decrease in oil and natural gas segment operating profit, before reduction in carrying value of assets and taxes, primarily due to lower net production for all products, lower prices received for oil and natural gas liquids, and increased operating expenses due to estimated costs incurred to remediate soil contamination issues, partially offset by increased natural gas prices;

·A $346,000 increase in contract drilling operating results, before taxes, primarily resulting from increased water well drilling activity; and

·A $264,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

General

Barnwell conducts operations in the U.S. and Canada. Consequently, Barnwell is subject to foreign currency translation and transaction gains and losses due to fluctuations of the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. The impact of fluctuations of the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar may be material from period to period. Barnwell cannot accurately predict future fluctuations between the Canadian and U.S. dollar.

The average exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar decreased 1% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and remained essentially unchanged in the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, and the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar decreased 3% and 6% at June 30, 2013, as compared to March 31, 2013 and

22

September 30, 2012, respectively. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity and revenues and expenses of Barnwell’s subsidiaries operating in Canada have been adjusted to reflect the change in the exchange rates. Barnwell’s Canadian dollar assets are greater than its Canadian dollar liabilities; therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar generate other comprehensive income or loss, respectively. Other comprehensive income and losses are not included in net loss. Other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $867,000, a $154,000 change from other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, of $713,000 for the same period in the prior year. Other comprehensive loss due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,837,000, a $2,568,000 change from other comprehensive income due to foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes, of $731,000 for the same period in the prior year. There were no taxes on other comprehensive (loss) income due to foreign currency translation adjustments in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 due to a full valuation allowance on the related deferred tax asset.

23

Oil and natural gas revenues decreased $166,000 (3%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, as the impact of higher prices for natural gas and oil was more than offset by the impact of lower net production for all products. Net natural gas and natural gas liquids production decreased as compared to the same period in the prior year due to natural declines in production and a scheduled Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown during a portion of May and June 2013, whereas there was no such shutdown in the prior year period. The shutdown reduced net natural gas production by approximately 74,000 Mcf and net natural gas liquids production by approximately 4,000 Bbls.

Net natural gas production was further reduced by an annual adjustment of natural gas royalty allowances by the Government of Alberta related mainly to non-operated properties that was greater than the royalty adjustment in the prior year period. Net oil production declined 5% as natural declines in production from existing wells was partially offset by new oil production from recent drilling activity. The decrease due to changes in net production was partially offset by an increase in natural gas and oil prices, which increased 200% and 8%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Oil and natural gas revenues decreased $3,118,000 (16%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to 29% and 13% decreases in natural gas and natural gas liquids net production, respectively, as a result of natural declines in production and a scheduled Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown during a portion of May and June 2013, whereas there was no such shutdown in the prior year period. The shutdown reduced net natural gas production by approximately 74,000 Mcf and net natural gas liquids production by approximately 4,000 Bbls. In addition, net oil production decreased 10% as compared to the same period in the prior year due to natural declines in production from existing wells, partially offset by new oil production from recent drilling activity.  Declines in oil and natural gas liquids prices of 11% and 12%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year were partially offset by an increase in natural gas prices, which increased 37% as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Oil and natural gas operating expenses

Oil and natural gas operating expenses decreased $36,000 (1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower production and $253,000 of equalization credits for previously allocated operating expenses received from non-operated properties, which was partially offset by increased repair and workover costs due to a scheduled Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown, whereas there was no such shutdown in the prior year period.

24

Oil and natural gas operating expenses decreased $527,000 (7%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was due to lower production and $473,000 of equalization credits for previously allocated operating expenses received from non-operated properties, partially offset by $706,000 of estimated costs incurred to remediate soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties and increased repair and workover costs due to a scheduled Dunvegan plant and pipeline maintenance shutdown, whereas there was no such shutdown in the prior year period.

Sale of interest in leasehold land

The following table summarizes the percentage of sales payment revenues received from WB:

	Three months ended							Nine months ended
	June 30,							June 30,
	2013			2012				2013				2012
Sale of interest in leasehold land:
Proceeds		$	-		$	137,000			$	300,000			$	512,000
Fees		-			(8,000		)		(18,000		)		(30,000		)
Revenues - sale of interest in leasehold land, net		$	-		$	129,000			$	282,000			$	482,000

WB sold one single-family lot in Phase II of Increment I during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and one and two single-family lots in Phase I of Increment I during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013, 31 of the 38 single-family lots in Phase I of Increment I have been sold by WB. Forty-two single-family lots are planned for Phase II of Increment I, for a total of 80 single-family lots planned for Increment I. The developer released and began marketing a portion of the 42 single-family lots in Phase II of Increment I, and as of June 30, 2013, one of the lots has been sold. The Company cannot predict when or if WB will complete the remaining single-family lots in Phase II of Increment I and there is no assurance with regards to the amounts of future sales from Increment I.

Contract drilling

Contract drilling revenues and contract drilling costs decreased $964,000 (80%) and $689,000 (65%), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The contract drilling segment generated a $210,000 operating loss before general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease in operating results of $238,000 as compared to the $28,000 operating profit generated during the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating results was primarily due to decreased water well drilling activity and fewer pump contracts.

Contract drilling revenues and contract drilling costs decreased $250,000 (13%) and $525,000 (24%), respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The contract drilling segment generated a $274,000 operating loss before general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended June 30, 2013, an increase in operating results of $346,000 as compared to the $620,000 operating loss generated during the same period of the prior year. The increase in operating results was primarily due to higher contract margins on water well drilling activity in the current year period.

25

Contract drilling revenues and costs are not seasonal in nature, but can fluctuate significantly based on the awarding and timing of contracts, which are determined by contract drilling customer demand. In general, there has been a significant decrease in demand for water well drilling contracts in the last three years due largely to the impact of the recession and continuing weak economic conditions on both private real estate development and governmental capital improvement budgets. Lack of availability of contracts has also resulted in increased competition for available contracts, which generally has resulted in lower estimated margins on awarded contracts. A sustained lack of water well drilling contracts may necessitate future cost reduction measures, temporary shutdown of water well drilling operations, or sale or liquidation of a portion of our contract drilling equipment. The Company is unable to predict the near-term and long-term availability of water well drilling and pump installation and repair contracts as the duration of the general slowdown in construction activity is unknown.

In July 2013, Barnwell was awarded a $6,000,000 water well drilling contract. The Company commenced work on this contract in late July 2013 and management currently estimates work on this contract to continue through fiscal 2014.

Residential real estate revenues and expenses

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, one of the luxury residences was sold for $5,975,000. The carrying value of the home sold and costs related to the sale totaled $5,990,000, resulting in a nominal loss.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $228,000 (12%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $90,000 increase in professional services expense mainly due to increased legal fees, a $67,000 decrease in administrative expense reimbursements from oil and natural gas joint venture partners, and the fact that the prior year quarter included a $124,000 reduction in stock appreciation rights expense, as compared to a $76,000 reduction in stock appreciation rights expense in the current quarter, from changes in the market price of the Company’s stock.

General and administrative expenses increased $264,000 (4%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $278,000 decrease in administrative expense reimbursements from oil and natural gas joint venture partners and a $100,000 increase in professional services expense mainly due to increased legal fees, partially offset by a $131,000 decrease in holding and maintenance expenses related to real estate held for sale as a result of the sale of one of the residences during the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization decreased $1,084,000 (44%) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 41% decrease in net production and a 6% decrease in the depletion rate. The decrease in the depletion rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was due to the impact of the reductions in the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, partially offset by increases in Barnwell’s costs of finding and developing proven reserves and the drilling of unsuccessful wells.

26

Depletion, depreciation, and amortization decreased $1,788,000 (22%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a 22% decrease in net production and a 1% decrease in the depletion rate. The decrease in the depletion rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 was due to the impact of the reductions in the carrying value of oil and natural gas properties at September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, partially offset by increases in Barnwell’s costs of finding and developing proven reserves and the drilling of unsuccessful wells.

Reduction of carrying value of assets

The reduction of carrying value of assets increased $2,652,000 (143%) for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company performs quarterly oil and natural gas ceiling test calculations. Barnwell’s net capitalized costs exceeded the ceiling limitations at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. As such, Barnwell reduced the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties by $4,506,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2013 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012.

Changes in the 12-month rolling average first-day-of-the-month prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices, the value of reserve additions as compared to the amount of capital expenditures to obtain them, and changes in production rates and estimated levels of reserves, future development costs and the market value of unproved properties, impact the determination of the maximum carrying value of oil and natural gas properties. The Company may be required to record reductions in the carrying value of its oil and natural gas properties in the future, however, the Company is unable to estimate a range of the amount of any potential future reduction in carrying value as variables that impact the ceiling limitation are dependent upon future prices and actual results of activity.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2012, Barnwell recorded a $1,854,000 reduction in the carrying value of its real estate held for sale to reflect a decline in the estimated market value. No such reduction was necessary during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $54,000 (27%) and $196,000 (31%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to lower outstanding loan balances and interest rates.

Income taxes

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was (4%) and 16%, respectively, as compared to 16% and (5%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax (losses) earnings due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by current period U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

27

Included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 is a $93,000 benefit from the lapsing of the statute of limitations for uncertain tax positions related to Canadian income taxes. There is no such benefit included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests

Earnings and losses attributable to non-controlling interests represent the non-controlling interests’ share of revenues and expenses related to the various partnerships and joint ventures in which Barnwell has interests.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $40,000, as compared to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $35,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $59,000, as compared to net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $441,000 for the same period in the prior year. The $382,000 (87%) change in the year-to-date amount is due primarily to impacts to non-controlling interests of prior year write-downs of Barnwell’s assets, as compared to the same period in the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Barnwell’s primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, land investment segment proceeds and available credit. At June 30, 2013, Barnwell had $9,115,000 in cash and cash equivalents, $3,751,000 in working capital and $7,026,000 of available credit under its credit facility with its Canadian bank.

Cash Flows

Cash flows provided by operations totaled $3,864,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $10,630,000 for the same period in the prior year. This $6,766,000 decrease was primarily due to $5,578,000 of proceeds from the sale of real estate in the prior year period and lower oil and natural gas segment operating results in the current period.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $3,230,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $4,684,000 during the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $1,621,000 decrease in cash outflows for oil and natural gas capital expenditures due to differences in the timing of disbursements for capital projects.

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $232,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $6,063,000 during the same period of the prior year. The $5,831,000 decrease in cash outflows was primarily due to decreased net debt repayments as the prior year period includes a pay down in debt resulting from the sale of one luxury residence in June 2012.

28

Credit Arrangements

In March 2013, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was renewed through April 2014 for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, unchanged from the prior year amount, or US$19,026,000 at the June 30, 2013 exchange rate of 0.9513. Borrowings under this facility were US$12,000,000 and unused credit available under this facility was US$7,026,000 at June 30, 2013. The interest rate on the facility at June 30, 2013 was 2.70%. The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at the Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at the Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance.

Barnwell, together with its 80%-owned real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank that terminates on April 1, 2018. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule.  Monthly payments of principal and interest are due on the first day of each month and will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of a house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018. The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of a house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

The non-revolving real estate loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1 and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio not to exceed 1.85 to 1. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the loan covenants.

Oil and Natural Gas and Other Capital Expenditures

Barnwell’s oil and natural gas capital expenditures, including accrued capital expenditures, totaled $1,231,000 and $4,856,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $979,000 and $3,158,000 for the same periods in the prior year. Management expects that oil and natural gas capital expenditures in fiscal 2013 will range from $6,000,000 to $6,500,000. This estimated amount may increase or decrease as dictated by cash flows and management’s assessment of the oil and natural gas environment and prospects.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, Barnwell drilled 3 gross (0.2 net) development wells in Canada, all of which appear to be successful. During the nine months ended June 30, 2013, Barnwell participated in the drilling of 7 gross (1.3 net) development wells in Canada, all of which appear to be successful, and 1 gross (1.0 net) exploratory well in Canada, which was not successful. The term “gross” refers to the total number of wells in which Barnwell owns an interest, and “net” refers to Barnwell’s aggregate interest therein. For example, a 50% interest in a well represents 1 gross well, but 0.5 net well. The gross figure includes interests owned of record by Barnwell and, in addition, the portion owned by others.

29

Other Considerations

We believe our sources of funds such as current cash balances, future operating cash flows, land investment segment proceeds, and available credit will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, planned future capital expenditures, scheduled debt repayments and related interest. However, in the event oil and natural gas prices and production, land investment segment proceeds, and residential real estate home sale proceeds are less than current expectations, Barnwell’s Canadian revolving credit facility is reduced below the current level of borrowings under the facility upon the April 2014 review, and/or we fall short of our key financial debt covenants for our real estate loan and are required to repay a portion of our loan borrowings earlier than anticipated, we will be faced with reduced cash inflows and/or higher cash outflows than expected, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition. Absent a sufficient increase in natural gas and/or oil prices, it is unlikely that future oil and natural gas operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund the capital expenditure levels necessary to maintain current production and reserve levels. As such, the near-term and longer-term outlook for sources and uses of funds and oil and natural gas capital resources remains highly dependent on the factors noted above.

In the event our liquidity and capital resources are not sufficient to fund our future cash needs, the Company will need to obtain alternative terms or sources of financing or liquidate investments and/or operating assets to make any required cash outflows. Events and circumstances that lead to results that significantly differ from management’s expectations could have a material adverse effect on our operations, liquidity, cash flows, and financial condition.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to Barnwell, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify Barnwell’s financial reports and to other members of executive management and the Board of Directors.

As of June 30, 2013, an evaluation was carried out by Barnwell’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of Barnwell’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that Barnwell’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of June 30, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Barnwell in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in Barnwell’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Barnwell’s internal control over financial reporting.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. 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 two 80%-owned joint ventures (Kaupulehu 2007, LLLP and Kaupulehu Investors, LLC). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

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, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012 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, 2013, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and equity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, have been made. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 Accounting Policies

Barnwell’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

2. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Barnwell stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding common stock options, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive shares consist of the common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 777,250 and 815,375 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted shares for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to the net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders.

Reconciliations between net loss attributable to Barnwell stockholders and common shares outstanding of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations are detailed in the following tables:

A summary of Barnwell’s long-term debt is as follows:

	June 30,				September 30,
	2013				2012
Canadian revolving credit facility		$	12,000,000			$	12,000,000

		16,772,000				17,164,000
Less: current portion		(4,772,000		)		(5,764,000		)
Total long-term debt		$	12,000,000			$	11,400,000

Canadian revolving credit facility

In March 2013, Barnwell’s credit facility at Royal Bank of Canada was renewed through April 2014 for $20,000,000 Canadian dollars, unchanged from the prior year amount, or US$19,026,000 at the June 30, 2013 exchange rate. Unused credit available under this facility was US$7,026,000 and the interest rate on the facility was 2.70% at June 30, 2013.

The renewed facility is available in U.S. dollars at the London Interbank Offer Rate plus 2.50%, at the Royal Bank of Canada’s U.S. base rate plus 1.50%, or in Canadian dollars at the Royal Bank of Canada’s prime rate plus 1.50%. A standby fee of 0.625% per annum is charged on the unused facility balance. Under the financing agreement, the facility is reviewed annually, with the next review planned for April 2014. Subject to that review, the facility may be renewed for one year with no required debt repayments or converted to a two-year term loan by the bank. If the facility is converted to a two-year term loan, Barnwell has agreed to the following repayment schedule of the then outstanding loan balance: first year of the term period – 20% (5% per quarter), and in the second year of the term period – 80% (5% per quarter for the first three quarters and 65% in the final quarter). Based on the terms of this agreement, if Royal Bank of Canada were to convert the facility to a two-year term loan upon its next review in April 2014, Barnwell would be obligated to make quarterly principal and interest repayments beginning in July 2014. As no debt repayments will be required on or before June 30, 2014, the entire outstanding loan balance at June 30, 2013 is classified as long-term debt.

Real estate loan

Barnwell, together with its real estate joint venture, Kaupulehu 2007, has a non-revolving real estate loan with a Hawaii bank. Principal and interest are paid monthly and are determined based on a loan amortization schedule. The monthly payment will change as a result of an annual change in the interest rate, the sale of a house or the sale of a residential parcel. The interest rate adjusts each April for the remaining term of the loan to the lender’s then prevailing interest rate for similarly priced commercial mortgage loans or a floating rate equal to the lender’s base rate. The interest rate at June 30, 2013 was 3.53%. Any unpaid principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable on April 1, 2018.

The loan is collateralized by, among other things, a first mortgage on Kaupulehu 2007’s lots together with all improvements thereon. Kaupulehu 2007 will be required to make a principal payment upon the sale of a house or a residential parcel in the amount of the net sales proceeds of the house or residential parcel; the loan agreement defines net sales proceeds as the gross sales proceeds for the house or residential parcel, less reasonable commissions and normal closing costs.

The loan agreement contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants including a consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a consolidated total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the loan covenants.

The home collateralizing the loan is currently available for sale; therefore, the entire balance outstanding at June 30, 2013 under the term loan has been classified as a current liability.

Barnwell’s effective consolidated income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, after adjusting loss before income taxes for non-controlling interests, was (4%) and 16%, respectively, as compared to 16% and (5%) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

Consolidated taxes do not bear a customary relationship to pretax (losses) earnings due primarily to the fact that Canadian income taxes are not sheltered by current period U.S. source losses, Canadian income taxes are not estimated to have a current or future benefit as foreign tax credits or deductions for U.S. tax purposes, and U.S. consolidated net operating losses are not estimated to have any future U.S. tax benefit prior to expiration.

Included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 is a $93,000 benefit from the lapsing of the statute of limitations for uncertain tax positions related to Canadian income taxes. There is no such benefit included in the income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

The Canada Revenue Agency is currently examining the Company’s Canadian federal income tax returns for fiscal 2010 and 2011.

3.         REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

Kaupulehu 2007 currently owns one luxury residence that is available for sale in the Lot 4A Increment I area located in the North Kona District of the island of Hawaii, north of Hualalai Resort at Historic Ka’upulehu, between the Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the Pacific Ocean.

In April 2012, Kaupulehu 2007 entered into a contract to sell one of the luxury residences at a price below carrying value. Accordingly, during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Barnwell recorded a $1,854,000 reduction in the carrying value of real estate held for sale to reflect this decline in the estimated market value. The sale of the residence closed during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 for $5,975,000 for a nominal loss. No reduction in the carrying value was necessary during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain of our assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. The following table provides carrying value and fair value measurement information for nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (there were no nonrecurring fair value measurements recorded for such assets and liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 or the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013):

Real estate held for sale	$    5,208,000	$     -	$  5,208,000	$            -	$     1,854,000

The fair value of real estate held for sale was based on the sales price of the residence sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, which is similar and located adjacent to the remaining residence. This fair value measurement has been classified as a Level 2 valuation.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued current liabilities and payables to joint interest owners approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value as the terms approximate current market terms for similar debt instruments of comparable risk and maturities.

Environmental Matters

As of June 30, 2013, environmental remediation costs of $706,000, which has not been discounted, was accrued in “Other current liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount accrued is the estimated liability for probable environmental remediation costs for soil contamination from infrastructure issues at the Dunvegan and Wood River properties. Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate the currently identified sites, and sites identified in the future, if any, could be incurred. No accrual for environmental remediation costs was necessary at September 30, 2012.
