Notes to Financial Statements

June 30 , 2014

(Unaudited)

Note 1:       Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of CKX Lands, Inc. (“Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Except as described herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013and Form 10-Q for the quarter period ended June 30, 2013.

Note 2: Income Taxes:

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in federal and state income tax returns for the tax years that remain subject to examination, generally three years after filing. The Company believes that all filing positions are highly certain and that all income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained upon a taxing jurisdiction’s audit. Therefore, no reserve for uncertain tax positions is required. No interest or penalties have been levied against the Company and none are anticipated.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenue

Comparison of Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 follows:

2014

2013

$ Change

% Change

Oil and Gas

857,437 847,004 10,433 1.23 %

Timber

15,089 55,141 (40,052 ) (72.64 )%

Surface

215,519 89,427 126,092 141.00 %

Oil and Gas

CKX leases its property to oil and gas operators and collects income through its land ownership in the form of oil and gas royalties and lease rentals and geophysical revenues. A breakdown of oil and gas revenues follows:

2014

2013

$ Change

% Change

Oil

669,971 680,181 (10,210 ) (1.50 )%

Gas

101,035 91,295 9,740 10.67 %

Lease and Geophysical

86,431 75,528 10,903 14.44 %

Total

857,437 847,004 10,433 1.23 %

CKX received oil and gas revenues from 106 and 96 wells during the quarter ended June, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following schedule summarizes barrels and MCF produced and average price per barrel and per MCF.

2014

2013

Net oil produced (Bbl) (2)

6,048 5,753

Average oil sales price (per Bbl) (1,2)

$ 100.48 $ 104.15

Net gas produced (MCF)

19,387 21,655

Average gas sales price (per MCF) (1)

$ 5.21 $ 4.22

Notes to above schedule:

(1) Before deduction of production and severance taxes.

(2) Excludes plant products.

Lease and geophysical increased $10,903 from the 2013 amounts. These revenues are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.

Management believes that current oil and gas activity is driven by the current and forecasted commodity prices and demand for oil and gas. Management believes that oil and gas activity which includes oil and gas production as well as lease rentals and geophysical will continue to be strong for the next six months.

6

Timber prices have improved since the comparative prior year quarter, and the Company has negotiated a stumpage agreement on acceptable terms and conditions and these timber revenues will begin to be reported in the third quarter of 2014.

Surface revenue increased by $126,092 from 2013 revenue. This increase is primarily attributable to one right of way agreement, $173,177 in revenue, for a large pipeline to service the expanding petrochemical industry in Southwest Louisiana. The Company is currently negotiating another pipeline agreement of similar scope. Pipeline and other right of ways are not unusual to the Company; however agreements of this scope are unusual. These revenues are not predictable and can vary significantly from year to year.

Costs and Expenses

Oil and gas production costs, primarily severance taxes, decreased by $2,416 in 2014. Although oil and gas revenues increases, the decrease in most likely due to certain Louisiana tax incentives for new well activities.

General and administrative expenses increased by $12,535 primarily due to increases in officer incentive pay, director pay , the timing of our annual meeting expenses, and professional services related to investigation of potential land acquisitions and legal services. These increases were offset by a non-recurring property management expense related to personnel changes at one of our managers in the prior year.

Other costs and expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were generally consistent with 2013 reported amounts.

Financial Condition

Current assets totaled $7,042,227 and total liabilities equaled $244,563 at June 30, 2014. Management believes available cash and certificates of deposit together with funds generated from operations should be sufficient to meet operating requirements and provide funds for strategic acquisitions. Additional sources of liquidity include an available bank line of credit of $5,000,000.

The Company declared and paid a seven cents per common share during the quarter ended June 30, 2014. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to continue paying a seven cents per common share dividend each quarter. From time to time, the Company may elect to pay an extra dividend. In determining if an extra dividend will be declared, the Board of Directors will take into consideration the Company’s current liquidity and capital resources and the availability of suitable timberland that has mineral potential.

Issues and Uncertainties

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of issues and uncertainties such as those discussed below, which, among others, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s financial outlook.

Revenues from oil and gas provide a significant portion of the Company’s net income and cash flows. These revenues come from wells operated by other companies on property owned by CKX Lands, Inc. Consequently, these revenues fluctuate due to changes in oil and gas prices and changes in the operations of these other companies.
