Going Concern Doubt
Auditors and management state substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year, citing recurring losses, negative operating cash flow, and dependence on future financing.
-
Material Weakness in Controls
Management concluded internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of May 31, 2026, due to lack of segregation of duties and limited accounting personnel, leading to material adjustments in oil and gas asset evaluations.
-
Net Loss More Than Doubles
Net loss increased to $7,971,671 in fiscal 2026 from $3,181,874 in fiscal 2025, driven by a $2.1 million increase in stock-based compensation, higher legal and travel expenses, and a $591,919 loss on debt conversion.
-
Debt Defaults and Cash Position
Total debt of $3,573,056 includes $617,934 owed to Alleghany and a $750,000 note to Cali Fields LLC, both in default. Cash and restricted cash totaled only $420,676 as of May 31, 2026.
