#### EXPLANATORY NOTE
Barnwell Industries, Inc. (the "Company", "our" or "Barnwell") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, which was originally filed on December 29, 2022 (the "Original Filing"), solely to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K of the Original Filing and not included in the Original Filing. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from the Company's definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after the Company's fiscal year end. This Amendment amends and restates in their entirety Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Part III of the Original Filing. In addition, the reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Form 10-K/A also contains certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update the disclosure in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing in any way, and the parts or exhibits of the Original Filing which have not been modified or updated are not included in this Amendment. Furthermore, this Form 10-K/A does not change any previously reported financial results, nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Filing. Information not affected by this Form 10-K/A remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time the Original Filing was filed. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, does not reflect events occurring after December 29, 2022, the filing date of the Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company's other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission since the filing of the Original Filing, including amendments to those filings, if any.

#### Summary Compensation Table
The Summary Compensation Table below sets forth certain information regarding compensation paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 to (1) Alexander C. Kinzler, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, and (2) Russell M. Gifford, our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary.

No Named Executive Officer was granted a stock award in fiscal year 2022 or 2021, nor received above-market or preferential earnings on compensation that was deferred on a basis that was not tax-qualified. As a result, such columns have been omitted.

Our Pay for Performance Plan adopted in 2014 (the "Plan") is available to pay bonuses to our executives based on performance. Performance measures and targeted goals for the Company's 2022 fiscal year performance period were established by the Compensation Committee in December 2021 and the Committee designated the CEO to be eligible to participate in the Plan for fiscal year 2022. The material terms of such performance measures and targeted goals are as follows:

The Compensation Committee determined that the sum of the following three components shall represent the maximum bonus that may be achieved under the Plan for fiscal 2022 by the CEO (the "2022 Maximum Bonus Amount"), which was designed so that the Company would be in compliance with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; an amount equal to 5% of the earnings before income taxes on a GAAP basis of the Company;

------

[*Table of Contents*](#TABLEOFCONTENTS)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for an increase in earnings attributable to the combined Land Investment and Residential Real Estate segments in the State of Hawaii on a GAAP basis over the prior fiscal year with respect to such segments, 20% of the first 100% of such increase and 10% of the remaining amount of such increase; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for an increase in the Company's market capitalization of up to 10%, determined by comparing the closing price of the Common Stock on September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, 10% of the amount of such increase.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits our federal tax deduction for compensation paid in any fiscal year to our CEO and our other "covered employees," as defined in Section 162(m), to $1,000,000. In the past, an exception to this deduction limit was available for "performance-based" compensation that had been approved by our stockholders and otherwise satisfied certain requirements under Section 162(m) and applicable regulations. As a result of new tax legislation that went into effect on December 22, 2017, this exception for performance-based compensation is not available for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, unless such compensation qualifies for transition relief for written binding contracts that were in effect on November 2, 2017. Barnwell was not party to any such binding contracts. This legislation also expanded the definition of "covered employees" to include the chief financial officer and certain former named executive officers. These changes in the tax laws have not had an effect on Barnwell, primarily because the compensation paid to such persons in our fiscal 2022 year, and in other recent fiscal years, has been below the $1,000,000 threshold.

The Compensation Committee continues to retain flexibility to make compensation decisions that are based on factors other than Section 162(m) and related consequences when necessary or appropriate (as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion) to enable Barnwell to continue to attract, retain, reward and motivate its highly-qualified executives. This flexibility may include amending or modifying the design elements of our historical compensation programs to the extent those design elements were principally adopted in an effort to comply with Section 162(m).

The 2022 Maximum Bonus Amount for each participant shall in no case exceed 150% of such participant's base salary as of January 2022. Additionally, a decrease in earnings before income taxes or market capitalization will not decrease the amounts of the other respective components of the 2022 Maximum Bonus Amount. The Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to eliminate or reduce the 2022 Maximum Bonus Amount payable to the CEO pursuant to the bonus formula described above and in addition or alternatively to grant ordinary bonuses.

The Compensation Committee determined that, pursuant to the adopted performance measures and targeted goals, the 2022 Maximum Bonus Amount which could have been payable to our CEO as calculated under the Plan was $420,000. The Compensation Committee reviewed the performance of our CEO during fiscal 2022, analyzed the Company's results for the year, reviewed the overall performance of management for the fiscal year, reviewed with management various factors the Committee takes into account in setting compensation, including individual and corporate, financial and non-financial performance, the creation of value for our stockholders, the long-term commitment and contributions of management to the Company and certain events in the Company's oil and gas division.

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan ("Pension Plan") for its eligible employees to provide annual benefits payable on retirement. Eligibility is based upon attainment of age 21 and completion of one year of service. Benefits are calculated under a formula based upon years of service and the participant's highest average annual compensation over 60 consecutive months of service. Since December 31, 2019, future benefit accruals for all participants under the Pension Plan have been frozen. Consequently, current participants in the Pension Plan no longer accrue new benefits under the Pension Plan and new employees of the Company are no longer eligible to enter the Pension Plan as participants. Mr. Kinzler and Mr. Gifford are participants in the Pension Plan.

------

<sup>3</sup> This amount represents perquisites received with respect to: (1) medical insurance and (2) directors' fees.

 <sup>4</sup> Subject to the conditions set forth in the option, 33 1/3% of the option shall become vested and exercisable on each of the first 3 anniversaries of the grant date of February 9, 2021.

[*Table of Contents*](#TABLEOFCONTENTS)

The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") in order to provide an additional incentive to the Company's executive officers to remain with the Company. Since December 31, 2019, future benefit accruals for all participants under the SERP have been frozen. Consequently, current participants in the SERP no longer accrue new benefits under the SERP and new employees of the Company are no longer eligible to enter the SERP as participants. Mr. Kinzler and Mr. Gifford are participants in the SERP.

The Company also had maintained a Postretirement Medical Insurance Benefit Plan as an additional incentive to the Company's senior officers in the U.S. to remain with the Company. During fiscal 2021, the Postretirement Medical Insurance Benefit Plan was terminated.
