Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included on the Form 10-K filed on April 5, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 have been omitted.

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change their name from Alpha Energy, Inc. to Truleum, Inc.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Alpha Energy Texas Operating, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per share

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings (Loss) per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 263,992 shares issuable from the senior secured convertible notes payable and 655,870 and 0 shares issuable from the convertible credit line payable which were considered for their dilutive effects but were determined to be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

8

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications may have been made to our prior year’s financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

 

 

 

Note 2 GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has minimal cash or other current assets and does not have an established ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Related Parties

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no advances due to related parties for either period and $24,462 due to Leaverite Exploration, Inc. d/b/a Leaverite Consulting (“Leaverite Exploration”), a corporation wholly-owned by our President, Jay Leaver pursuant to a consulting agreement. On April 10, 2023, the Company issued 70,852 shares of common stock valued at $5.00 per share to settle outstanding consulting invoices in the amount of $354,260 owed to Mr. Leaver.

 

 

Subscription Liability Related Party

 

On January 12, 2024, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock to Company director Mark Timm as a bonus effective December 31, 2023; this amount of $40,000 was recorded as a subscription liability – related party on the balance sheet as of year-end.

 

 

Senior Secured Convertible Notes Payable Related Party

 

AEI Management, Inc.

 

On February 25, 2022, the Company entered into a secured senior secured convertible note with AEI for the purchase and sale of convertible promissory notes (“Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000,000. The Convertible Note is convertible at any time after the date of issuance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.00 per share; upon conversion, the Company would issue the noteholder 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum, is paid on a quarterly basis, and has a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The Convertible Note is secured by certain oil and gas leases, lands, minerals and other properties of the Company, subject to prior liens and security interests. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $413,206 from a related party was exchanged for a convertible note; due to the variable conversion price in the convertible credit line, this fixed senior secured convertible note is treated as a derivative due to the possibility of insufficient shares available at conversion to settle the note. The day one derivative liability was $65,262, which was recorded as a discount; for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company amortized $32,631 and $27,624, respectively, of the discount as interest expense. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unamortized discount was $0 and $5,006, respectively. The outstanding principal balance on the senior secured convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $413,206 as of both dates.

 

20 Shekels, Inc.

 

On February 25, 2022, Mr. Leaver assigned a $406,750 promissory note and advances of $500,000 to 20 Shekels. On the same day, the assigned promissory note and advance totaling $906,750 were transferred into a secured senior secured convertible note. The convertible note bears interest at 7.25% and matures on December 31, 2024. The note is convertible into shares of the Company at $5.00 per share. Due to the variable convertible credit line, this fixed senior secured convertible note is treated as derivatives due to the possibility of insufficient shares available at conversion to settle the notes. The day one derivative liability was $143,214, which was recorded as a discount; for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company amortized $71,607 and $60,621, respectively, of the discount as interest expense. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , the unamortized discount was $ 0 and $ 10,986, respectively. The outstanding principal balance on the senior secured convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $906,754 as of both dates.

 

10

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the senior secured convertible notes payable balance, net of discount was $1,215,722 with accrued interest of $23,596 and $79,225 , respectively.

 

 

Convertible Credit Line Related Party

 

 

AEI Acquisition Company, LLC

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a new convertible credit line agreement with AEI Acquisition Company, LLC. (“AEI”), the Company’s majority shareholder, to borrow up to $1,500,000; the agreement has a maturity date of June 1, 2023. The outstanding balance accrues interest at a rate of 7% per annum and the outstanding balance is convertible to common stock of the Company at the lesser of the close price of the common stock as quoted on the OTCBB on the day interest is due and payable immediately preceding the conversion or $4.00. The Company analyzed the conversion option in the convertible line of credit for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, and determined that the transaction does qualify for derivative treatment. The Company evaluated the new convertible credit line for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt modification as the borrowing capacity under the new credit line is greater than the borrowing capacity under the original credit line. There were no fees paid to the creditor and no unamortized deferred costs on the original credit line. Accordingly, no expense was recognized in connection with the transaction.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company amortized $11,100 of the discount as interest expense, and as of December 31, 2022, the unamortized discount was $0. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid $168,328 of principal on the convertible credit line and $53,275 of accrued interest and as of December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance on the convertible credit line was $0. See discussion of derivative liability in Note 8 – Derivative Liability.

 

On February 11, 2023, the Company and AEI entered into an amendment to the convertible revolving credit line (the “First Amendment”), which provided that any outstanding amount of principal and/or interest under the revolving credit line may be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.001 per share par value, at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, or other similar transactions that affect the rights of common stockholders generally. On May 30, 2023 and January 8, 2024, the Company and AEI entered into second and third amendments to the convertible revolving credit line, which extended the maturity dates of the lines to December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has drawn $878,430 on the convertible note, with accrued interest of $35,235.

 

20 Shekels, Inc.

 

On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with 20 Shekels, Inc. (“20 Shekels”), an affiliated company, to borrow up to $500,000; the agreement has a maturity date of October 1, 2024, will accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and the outstanding balance is convertible to common stock of the Company at the lesser of $5.00 per share or a 10% discount to a 3-day volume weighted price average subject to adjustment as provided in the note agreement. Since May 16, 2023, 20 Shekels has made loans in favor of the Company in the amounts of principal and accrued interest totaling $142,235 as of October 3, 2023 (the date these amounts were evaluated for incorporation into the credit facility); such amounts will be consolidated and incorporated into the indebtedness covered by this facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a balance of $320,901, with accrued interest of $23,461.

 

 

 

NOTE 5 COMMON STOCK

 

The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of its capital stock, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 65,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Under the new plan, each director receives compensation for their service on the Board and reimbursements for certain expenses in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policy. Until the Company’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, each non-employee director shall receive options to purchase shares of common stock valued at $150,000 by the Black-Scholes pricing model on an annual basis, payable quarterly, with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of the quarter. See details of stock options below.

 

On January 12, 2024, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock to Company director Mark Timm as a bonus effective December 31, 2023; this amount of $40,000 was recorded as a subscription liability – related party on the balance sheet as of year-end.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 30, 2019, the Company executed a promissory note for $50,000 to ZQH (75%) and Pure (25%). The due date of the note is April 30, 2019 and has an interest rate of $50 per day. The note is for an escrow payment made directly to Premier Gas Company, LLC to hold the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 29, 2019. The note is secured by 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1 per share. On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA”) with Pure Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Pure”) and ZQH Holding, LLC ("ZQH”) to acquire oil and gas assets in Rogers County Oklahoma (the "Project”) in consideration of a purchase price of $1,000,000. The operator of the Project and owner of the residual working interest is Premier Gas Company, LLC ("Premier”). As of December 31, 2020, the Company fully impaired the Project due to the lack of funds for development. On July 6, 2020, Premier filed a mechanic’s lien in Rogers County alleging past unpaid invoices. During 2021 the Company notified ZQH that title research revealed that the assets covered by the PSA are not valid or in effect and were not valid or in effect at the time the PSA was executed and denied effectiveness of the PSA and further notified ZQH that the Company had no continuing obligations and no further obligation under the $1,210,000 principal amount promissory note therefore issued in connection with the PSA as a result. There can be no assurance that Pure and ZQH do not dispute our conclusions and assert claims against us including potential litigation.

 

Since June 1, 2021, no further extension agreements have been entered into and as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the convertible note payable balance was $1,210,000 with accrued interest of $22,882 for both dates. The Company is in legal discussions with ZQH to relieve the loan as the properties in the purchase agreement were not held by title.

 

 

 

Note 7 LITIGATION

 

On May 23, 2023 a complaint was filed against the Company in the Probate Court of Harris County, Texas by Ernest Berger, as Independent Executor of the Estate of John Lepin. The Complaint was filed pursuant to the Texas Estates Code Section 351.054 and alleges breach of an employment agreement with John Lepin who resigned from the Company in 2022, among other claims for unpaid compensation. The Complaint seeks payment of $39,247, issuance of 22, 250 shares of common stock, an indeterminate amount of royalty payments, and attorneys fees, costs and expenses, as well as interest and such other relief as the court may award. The answer was filed August 8, 2023. The company is disputing the litigation and believes at this point the result is undeterminable. As a result, no accrual has been made.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The discussion and analysis below includes certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, as described in Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that could cause our actual growth, results of operations, performance, financial position and business prospects and opportunities for this fiscal year and periods that follow to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our disclosure under the heading Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements below. 

 

General Business Development

 

The Company was formed on September 26, 2013 in the State of Colorado.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our strategy is to acquire and develop additional properties we can restart, rework, and/or recomplete through cash and/or equity transactions. Our strategy is to acquire and develop additional producing properties in the vicinity of the Cherokee Uplift similar to our existing Logan Project that we can restart, rework, recomplete, and which have proven un-drilled potential to produce oil and natural gas. In this manner, our strategy involves acquiring existing infrastructure from historic operations. Deployment of current modern technology to enhance recompletions and drilling in previously undeveloped or underdeveloped areas is part of our strategy to enhance the value of acquired properties.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had total current assets of $86,876 and total current liabilities of $3,647,607.

 

The Company had $(241,560) of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3,247 during the same period in 2023. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was mainly comprised of our $515,280 net loss during the period, adjusted by non-cash charges of $193,497 for stock-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts in the amount of $15,992, and depreciation and depletion net change of $(5,973).

 

The Company generated cash of $241,872 from financing activities during the three Months ended March 31, 2024 which consisted of proceeds from advances from related parties. The Company had no cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. 

 

The Company used cash of $82,140 for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 which consisted of the acquisition of oil and gas property.

 

Going Concern

 

The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. See Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Results of Operations

 

We generated revenue of $8,458 and $71,716 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Lease operating expenses were $36,361 and $179,441 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total operating expenses were $422,180 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $298,013 during the same period in 2023. The increase in operating expense was due to an increase in Board of Directors Fees offset by a decrease of $39,727 in general and administrative expenses and an increase of $3,397 Professional Fees.

 

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for 2023 appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls

 

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the direction and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching its desired disclosure control objectives. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included on the Form 10-K filed on April 5, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 have been omitted.

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change their name from Alpha Energy, Inc. to Truleum, Inc.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Alpha Energy Texas Operating, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per share

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings (Loss) per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 263,992 shares issuable from the senior secured convertible notes payable and 655,870 and 0 shares issuable from the convertible credit line payable which were considered for their dilutive effects but were determined to be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications may have been made to our prior year’s financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements  
Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]

Note 2 GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has minimal cash or other current assets and does not have an established ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Related Parties

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no advances due to related parties for either period and $24,462 due to Leaverite Exploration, Inc. d/b/a Leaverite Consulting (“Leaverite Exploration”), a corporation wholly-owned by our President, Jay Leaver pursuant to a consulting agreement. On April 10, 2023, the Company issued 70,852 shares of common stock valued at $5.00 per share to settle outstanding consulting invoices in the amount of $354,260 owed to Mr. Leaver.

 

 

Subscription Liability Related Party

 

On January 12, 2024, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock to Company director Mark Timm as a bonus effective December 31, 2023; this amount of $40,000 was recorded as a subscription liability – related party on the balance sheet as of year-end.

 

 

Senior Secured Convertible Notes Payable Related Party

 

AEI Management, Inc.

 

On February 25, 2022, the Company entered into a secured senior secured convertible note with AEI for the purchase and sale of convertible promissory notes (“Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $5,000,000. The Convertible Note is convertible at any time after the date of issuance into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $5.00 per share; upon conversion, the Company would issue the noteholder 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum, is paid on a quarterly basis, and has a maturity date of December 31, 2024. The Convertible Note is secured by certain oil and gas leases, lands, minerals and other properties of the Company, subject to prior liens and security interests. During the year ended December 31, 2022, $413,206 from a related party was exchanged for a convertible note; due to the variable conversion price in the convertible credit line, this fixed senior secured convertible note is treated as a derivative due to the possibility of insufficient shares available at conversion to settle the note. The day one derivative liability was $65,262, which was recorded as a discount; for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company amortized $32,631 and $27,624, respectively, of the discount as interest expense. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unamortized discount was $0 and $5,006, respectively. The outstanding principal balance on the senior secured convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $413,206 as of both dates.

 

20 Shekels, Inc.

 

On February 25, 2022, Mr. Leaver assigned a $406,750 promissory note and advances of $500,000 to 20 Shekels. On the same day, the assigned promissory note and advance totaling $906,750 were transferred into a secured senior secured convertible note. The convertible note bears interest at 7.25% and matures on December 31, 2024. The note is convertible into shares of the Company at $5.00 per share. Due to the variable convertible credit line, this fixed senior secured convertible note is treated as derivatives due to the possibility of insufficient shares available at conversion to settle the notes. The day one derivative liability was $143,214, which was recorded as a discount; for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company amortized $71,607 and $60,621, respectively, of the discount as interest expense. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , the unamortized discount was $ 0 and $ 10,986, respectively. The outstanding principal balance on the senior secured convertible notes payable as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $906,754 as of both dates.

 

 

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the senior secured convertible notes payable balance, net of discount was $1,215,722 with accrued interest of $23,596 and $79,225 , respectively.

 

 

Convertible Credit Line Related Party

 

 

AEI Acquisition Company, LLC

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a new convertible credit line agreement with AEI Acquisition Company, LLC. (“AEI”), the Company’s majority shareholder, to borrow up to $1,500,000; the agreement has a maturity date of June 1, 2023. The outstanding balance accrues interest at a rate of 7% per annum and the outstanding balance is convertible to common stock of the Company at the lesser of the close price of the common stock as quoted on the OTCBB on the day interest is due and payable immediately preceding the conversion or $4.00. The Company analyzed the conversion option in the convertible line of credit for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, and determined that the transaction does qualify for derivative treatment. The Company evaluated the new convertible credit line for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt modification as the borrowing capacity under the new credit line is greater than the borrowing capacity under the original credit line. There were no fees paid to the creditor and no unamortized deferred costs on the original credit line. Accordingly, no expense was recognized in connection with the transaction.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company amortized $11,100 of the discount as interest expense, and as of December 31, 2022, the unamortized discount was $0. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repaid $168,328 of principal on the convertible credit line and $53,275 of accrued interest and as of December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance on the convertible credit line was $0. See discussion of derivative liability in Note 8 – Derivative Liability.

 

On February 11, 2023, the Company and AEI entered into an amendment to the convertible revolving credit line (the “First Amendment”), which provided that any outstanding amount of principal and/or interest under the revolving credit line may be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, $0.001 per share par value, at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, or other similar transactions that affect the rights of common stockholders generally. On May 30, 2023 and January 8, 2024, the Company and AEI entered into second and third amendments to the convertible revolving credit line, which extended the maturity dates of the lines to December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has drawn $878,430 on the convertible note, with accrued interest of $35,235.

 

20 Shekels, Inc.

 

On October 23, 2023, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with 20 Shekels, Inc. (“20 Shekels”), an affiliated company, to borrow up to $500,000; the agreement has a maturity date of October 1, 2024, will accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and the outstanding balance is convertible to common stock of the Company at the lesser of $5.00 per share or a 10% discount to a 3-day volume weighted price average subject to adjustment as provided in the note agreement. Since May 16, 2023, 20 Shekels has made loans in favor of the Company in the amounts of principal and accrued interest totaling $142,235 as of October 3, 2023 (the date these amounts were evaluated for incorporation into the credit facility); such amounts will be consolidated and incorporated into the indebtedness covered by this facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a balance of $320,901, with accrued interest of $23,461.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On March 30, 2019, the Company executed a promissory note for $50,000 to ZQH (75%) and Pure (25%). The due date of the note is April 30, 2019 and has an interest rate of $50 per day. The note is for an escrow payment made directly to Premier Gas Company, LLC to hold the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 29, 2019. The note is secured by 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1 per share. On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("PSA”) with Pure Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Pure”) and ZQH Holding, LLC ("ZQH”) to acquire oil and gas assets in Rogers County Oklahoma (the "Project”) in consideration of a purchase price of $1,000,000. The operator of the Project and owner of the residual working interest is Premier Gas Company, LLC ("Premier”). As of December 31, 2020, the Company fully impaired the Project due to the lack of funds for development. On July 6, 2020, Premier filed a mechanic’s lien in Rogers County alleging past unpaid invoices. During 2021 the Company notified ZQH that title research revealed that the assets covered by the PSA are not valid or in effect and were not valid or in effect at the time the PSA was executed and denied effectiveness of the PSA and further notified ZQH that the Company had no continuing obligations and no further obligation under the $1,210,000 principal amount promissory note therefore issued in connection with the PSA as a result. There can be no assurance that Pure and ZQH do not dispute our conclusions and assert claims against us including potential litigation.

 

Since June 1, 2021, no further extension agreements have been entered into and as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the convertible note payable balance was $1,210,000 with accrued interest of $22,882 for both dates. The Company is in legal discussions with ZQH to relieve the loan as the properties in the purchase agreement were not held by title.

Note 7 LITIGATION

 

On May 23, 2023 a complaint was filed against the Company in the Probate Court of Harris County, Texas by Ernest Berger, as Independent Executor of the Estate of John Lepin. The Complaint was filed pursuant to the Texas Estates Code Section 351.054 and alleges breach of an employment agreement with John Lepin who resigned from the Company in 2022, among other claims for unpaid compensation. The Complaint seeks payment of $39,247, issuance of 22, 250 shares of common stock, an indeterminate amount of royalty payments, and attorneys fees, costs and expenses, as well as interest and such other relief as the court may award. The answer was filed August 8, 2023. The company is disputing the litigation and believes at this point the result is undeterminable. As a result, no accrual has been made.
