Royale Energy Inc. reported earnings results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016. For the quarter, the company reported a net loss of $475,397. This represents a $452,252 improvement when compared to a net loss of $927,649 during the second quarter of 2015. This 49% improvement over the comparative quarter of last year was largely due to lower general and administrative expenses, a gain from the sale of the company’s office building and a disputed accounts payable settlement.
