Analysis · LRDC · Energy & Transportation
Laredo burned $821,436 of cash in the quarter and ended August 31 with just $147,211 on hand against $14.7 million of liabilities and a $13.8 million stockholders' deficit. The company again states substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and it is funding itself with 12% bridge notes that convert at a 35% discount to the lowest recent bid if it misses a payment — expensive, dilutive capital. Management also reaffirmed a material weakness in financial controls tied to having no full-time accounting staff, the same deficiency that led to the restatement of fiscal 2025 results. The only offsetting item is the September LOI with an Argentine operator for UGD deployment, which remains non-binding and unfunded.
