All field production of the Company is being sold under long-term contracts to various customers in the USA.
LHO had $20.3 million in revenues generating positive cash flow and $3.9 million of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, total assets of LHO were $70.4 million. With the acquisition now completed, HNRA will report its first consolidated financials for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The results from the acquisition will only be included for six (6) weeks of the fourth quarter in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Following the acquisition, all of the experienced field personnel of LHO who achieved these results have remained with the Company.
