ized gain of $11.9 million during 2023 and an unrealized gain of $41.0 million during 2022. This change of $29.1 million in unrealized derivatives was from $31.1 million in favorable derivative portfolio changes and futures pricing for marked-to-market oil derivative contracts, offset by $1.9 million unfavorable changes to the marked-to-market natural gas derivative contract balance.

Loss on disposal of assets. During 2023, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of assets of $87,128 from selling multiple company owned vehicles.

Other income. During 2023, the Company's other income of $198,935 primarily resulted from the termination of The Woodlands office operating lease as of May 31, 2023, along with a bank rebate related to the use of a vendor payment program.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes changed to a provision of $125,242 for 2023 from a provision of $8,408,724 for 2022. The current year change in the Company's federal tax provision was the result of a full valuation allowance release on federal taxes in 2023 with state tax activity recognized.

Net income. The Company achieved net income of $104,864,641 in 2023 compared to net income of $138,635,025 in 2022 compared. The decrease in net income was due to increased LOE costs, depletion, depreciation, and amortization costs, and interest expense and lower natural gas revenues. This was offset by increased oil and NGL revenues in addition to a more favorable derivative contract portfolio in comparison with the year-end commodity futures prices. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financing of Operations. We have historically funded our operations through cash available from operations and from equity offerings of our stock. Our primary source of cash in 2024 was from funds generated from the sale of oil and natural gas production. These cash flows were primarily used to fund our capital expenditures and pay down our debt balance. We believe the combination of the sources of capital discussed will continue to be adequate to meet our short and long-term liquidity needs.
