PART II

 

Item 1.Business 

 

Overview

 

Sky Quarry Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Sky Quarry”, “SQI”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) are, collectively, an oil production, refining, and a development-stage environmental remediation company formed to deploy technologies to facilitate the recycling of waste asphalt shingles and remediation of oil-saturated sands and soils. The recycling and production of oil from asphalt shingles is expected to reduce the dependence of the American economy on landfills for the disposal of waste and to also reduce dependence on foreign and domestic virgin crude oil extraction for industrial uses.

 

We intend to retrofit the PR Spring Facility to recycle waste asphalt shingles using our ECOSolv technology and produce oil and asphalt paving aggregate from our bitumen deposit.


2


We also plan to develop a modular asphalt shingle recycling facility (“ASR Facility”), which can be deployed in areas with high concentrations of waste asphalt shingles and near asphalt shingle manufacturing centers.

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on June 4, 2019 as “Recoteq, Inc.” On April 22, 2020, we changed our name to “Sky Quarry Inc.” We have three wholly-owned subsidiaries: 2020 Resources LLC (“2020 Resources”), 2020 Resources (Canada) Ltd. (“2020 Canada”), and Foreland Refining Corporation (“Foreland”).

 

On September 16, 2020, we acquired 2020 Resources LLC. The assets of 2020 Resources include an oil sands remediation facility (referred to in this Offering Circular as the “PR Spring Facility”) and a 100% interest in asphalt bitumen leases covering approximately 5,930 acres in the PR Spring region in Utah. On September 16, 2020, we also acquired 2020 Resources (Canada) Ltd, an entity which is currently inactive.

 

On September 30, 2022, we acquired Foreland Refining Corporation, which is engaged in the refining of heavy crude oil into diesel and other petroleum products (naphtha, vacuum gas oil, and paving asphalt liquids) at its Eagle Springs Refinery located near Ely, Nevada.

 

The PR Spring Facility

 

Construction of the PR Spring Facility completed in 2019 and originally utilized a hybrid water/biosolvent recovery system for the separation of oil from oily sands and asphalt sludge. This process has since been shown to be uneconomic in the current environment and to use significant amounts of water. The retrofitting of the facility to process both waste asphalt shingles and to remediate oil saturated surface oil sands will utilize a proprietary benign petroleum-based solvent (“ECOSolv”) formulation for recovery, requiring very little to no water in the process. This same solvent process has been demonstrated in bench tests to be effective in the separation of waste asphalt shingles into its base components of oil, sand and fiberglass.

 

We intend to retrofit the PR Spring Facility to utilize our ECOSolv process to recycle waste asphalt shingles into crude oil and clean solids, and to produce oil and asphalt paving aggregate from its bitumen deposits.

 

We also plan to develop a modular asphalt shingle recycling facility design which can be deployed in areas with high concentrations of waste asphalt shingles and near asphalt shingle manufacturing centers.

 

The ECOSolv Process

 

Under the ECOSolv process, mined oil sands or WAS Pellets are crushed and then mixed with a proprietary hydrocarbon-based waterless solvent and heated and agitated in a mixing vessel into a slurry. The solvent “washes” the sand clean and separates the sand from the pre-oil liquid asphalt. The freed ‘pre-oil’ is then processed during the separation stage and various products can be produced – WTI market bitumen, heavy oil or heavy crude oil. The solvent is extracted by separation, distillation and evaporation processes and is captured for re-use in the closed loop system, leaving clean heavy oil behind ready for sale. Separation of the sand is done by mechanical drying units, which evaporate and capture the solvent for reuse, leaving behind clean sand.

 


3


Bench testing for oil recovery from waste asphalt shingles was performed using samples containing 22% to 25% weight saturation asphalt bitumen content. The samples were processed using our ECOSolv process and resulted in an end product containing, on average, 20.8% bitumen and less than 1% solvent, implying a hydrocarbon recovery factor of up to 95% and solvent recovery of up to 99%.

 

PR Spring Asphalt Bitumen Leases

 

2020 Resources holds a 100% undivided interest in three contiguous asphalt bitumen leases (the “PR Spring Leases”) covering approximately 5,930 acres in the PR Spring region of Uintah County, Utah. The leases were issued by the State of Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Land Administration (“SITLA”) and requires payment of annual rent of $6,380 per year and minimum royalties of $63,800 per year. Once production from the bitumen deposit begins production royalties will be paid at 6.5% of gross sales per year.

 

The PR Spring oil sands deposit is located along the southeast flank of the Uinta Basin, formed during late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary Period. The deposit is within the Eocene-aged Green River Formation of the Douglas Creek Member. In general, the sands thicken to the southeast, closer to their source, becoming increasingly finer-grained and carbonate rich to the north and northwest.

 

The location of the project is amongst rugged topography, meaning the overburden thickness of the oil-saturated sands is highly variable. This variability directly affects the total volume to bitumen in-place calculations across the property. The target deposit is topographically high, which has resulted in erosion of much of the non-reservoir overburden. The mine pits have been proposed in an ideal location where the target resource is very shallow and thick with minimal overburden and outcropping at the surface in some locations. Well data in the mine pits is very dense and high quality, with 70 core holes in the Phase 1 mine pit locations and over 180 cored wells across PR Spring acreage. A detailed understanding of the reservoir can be achieved by analysis of this data.

 

Foreland Refining Corporation - Eagle Springs Refinery

 

On September 30, 2022, we acquired Foreland Refining Corporation, which is engaged in the refining of heavy crude oil into diesel and other petroleum products (naphtha, vacuum gas oil, and paving asphalt liquids) at its Eagle Springs Refinery located near Ely, Nevada. The refinery has a “name plate” production capacity of 4,500 barrels per day (“bpd”), but over the past 2 – 3 years has produced an average of 1,500 barrels per day due to local constrained supply of heavy and light oil and past issues with logistics due to COVID-19 related work restrictions. In addition to securing additional crude oil from local producers, management anticipates that the heavy oil produced at PR Spring will be refined at the Eagle Springs Refinery, resulting in increased production and revenues and higher efficiencies across the production chain.

 

The refinery’s major processing units include crude oil distillation, catalytic cracker, naphtha hydrotreating, and reforming units, which produce diesel, vacuum gas oil, naphtha, asphalt paving oil and other associated refined products.

 

Feedstock crude oil, consisting largely of heavy sulfur-heavy oil, is sourced from local producers in Nevada and Utah as well as other North American sources. All of the crude oil is delivered to the refinery by truck. Refined products are transported by third parties to wholesale,


4


bulk, and retail customers primarily across Nevada, Utah and California and other North American jurisdictions.

 

Crude oil is received into the refinery tank farm and crude oil terminals, which include over 29,500 barrels of oil storage. The crude oil is processed through various refining units into products and where they are stored in the refinery’s approximately 73,800 barrels of refined product specific tankage.

 

Revenue Streams

 

Foreland produces diesel, vacuum gas oil, naphtha and asphalt paving liquids, which is then sold through short-term and long-term contracts to our established long-term customers and on the spot market.

 

The PR Spring Facility, once operational, is expected to produce asphalt paving aggregate, a low-sulfur heavy oil product from mined bitumen sands and from remediated asphalt shingles to be sold to and refined by the Eagle Springs Refinery, and cleaned sand.

 

Products anticipated to be derived from the recycling of waste asphalt shingles include liquid asphalt cement, shingle granules and sand aggregate, limestone and fiberglass, which can be sold back to asphalt paving companies or shingle manufacturers.

 

Reserves

 

We do not have any proven reserves on our bitumen leases at PR Spring, primarily due to the fact that our ECOSolv process, which we will use to produce oil from the bitumen leases, has not been used in a commercial setting.

 

ASR Facilities

 

The first complete     ASR Facility is intended to be built in 2024 and operated in partnership with or at a standalone owned and operated construction and demolition waste management facility. We believe that this will provide us with a steady supply of waste shingle feedstock, allow for quality control and collection of tipping fees. Discussions with other suitable facilities with existing waste shingle stockpiles are underway.

 

We have completed the design of the ASR Facility front end, which grinds and mills the shingle feedstock and in the process extracts and separates the granules and sand and presses the remaining bitumen and solids into pellets for ease of transportation. We have fabricated and intend  to deploy and commission the first ASR Facility front end in the first half of 2024 and two more front ends in the first half of 2025. Processed WAS pellets from the front-end modules will initially be shipped to the PR Spring Facility for secondary remediation while “back end” modules are developed and fabricated to allow for petroleum separation using the ECOSolv process and for complete on-site remediation.

 

We believe that the ASR Facility design will be capable of remediating waste asphalt shingles into their basic components – asphalt cement, shingle granules, sand aggregate, limestone and fiberglass – utilizing the ECOSolv separation process. These components will be sold for use as binding material and tar coat to the asphalt paving industry or to roofing shingle manufacturers. Our business plans call for the construction and operation of five or more ASR Facilities during the next five years.

We have identified target markets across the United States, with the potential to scale regionally to Virginia, Vermont, Alabama, Florida, and Maryland before addressing larger markets such as California, Oregon, and Washington State.

 

Waste Asphalt Shingle Market

 

According to a report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency titled “Advancing Sustainable Materials Management: Assessing Trends in Materials Generation and Management in the United States” dated December 2020, about 15.1 million tons of waste shingles are generated annually. Waste asphalt shingles amount to about 2.5 percent of the total building-related waste in the U.S. Over 96 percent of these waste shingles end up in landfills, occupying over 23 million cubic yards of space1.

 

This waste stream is expected to increase. Consider that four-out-of-five homes in the U.S. are roofed with asphalt shingles2 and that April 2022 saw the highest annualized housing starts (over 1.8 million single family dwellings) since 20063. Also consider that on average, nearly 5 million homes are reroofed each year4, each roof being comprised of 3,500 to 6,000 pounds (1.5 to 3 tons) of asphalt shingles5. U.S. demand for residential roofing is projected to rise 0.7% per year to reach 164.1 million squares (20.5 million tons) in 20246.

 

Asphalt shingles cannot be composted. Given that asphalt shingles are manufactured from refined petroleum, incineration would result in the emission of gases hazardous to human health. By contrast, every ton of asphalt shingles that are recycled reduces the need for virgin oil by two barrels7.

 

According to an industry survey8 conducted by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) in 2021, use of recycled asphalt shingles (“RAS”) in asphalt mixtures increased by approximately 8 percent, from an estimated 586,000 tons in 2020 to 630,000 tons in 2021. It was further estimated by NAPA that a total of 921,000 tons of     RAS was used in asphalt mixtures during the 2021 construction season, which is estimated to have reduced the need for 126,000 tons of asphalt binder (equal to over 690,000 barrels) and about 315,000 tons of aggregate with a total estimated value of more than $69 million. Reclaiming 395,000 tons of unprocessed RAS for future use saved about 240,000 cubic yards of landfill space, and more than $21 million in gate fees for disposal in landfills.

 

States and local agencies around the U.S. are beginning to see the advantage of using    RAS in road infrastructure projects on county, city and state roads9. They are using RAS in aggregate base courses and for granular base stabilization on local roads. Paving contractors in many states


1 420 lbs of shingles occupies 1 cubic yard. https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2021-01/documents/2018_ff_fact_sheet_dec_2020_fnl_508.pdf

are using RAS for parking lots, private driveways and in HMA mixes for varied purposes such as patching and temporary roads10. The most promising future market may be local governments. Over the last ten years, Minnesota DOT has been doing laboratory and field tests with RAS on hiking and biking trails and on town and county road sections, with positive results11. Georgia DOT has also experienced good results using RAS on local roads to the extent that they have modified their HMA specifications to allow for 5 percent waste shingles in the total mix12.

 

The Oil Sands Market

 

As an unconventional hydrocarbon resource, oil sands (or bitumen) hold hundreds of billions of barrels of oil on a worldwide basis13. Although Canada is the only country that is currently extracting large quantities of oil from its oil sands deposits14, the United States also has large oil sands resources that can be developed15. In a 2007 Report entitled “A Technical, Economic, and Legal Assessment of North American Oil Shale, Oil Sands, and Heavy Oil Resources In Response to Energy Policy Act of 2005 Section 369(p)” (September 2007), prepared by the Utah Heavy Oil Program, Institute For Clean and Secure Energy and The University of Utah for the U.S. Department of Energy (the “2007 Report”16), the authors reported the following estimates, which estimates were based upon source material published in 1979, 1987 and 1993:

 

·The United States has an estimated 76 billion barrels of oil-in-place (OIP) from bitumen and heavy oil contained in oil sands resources (OIP are not estimates of reserves or recoverable resources).  

·In the United States, Utah is known to have the largest oil sands deposits, with total resource estimates ranging from 23 to 32 billion barrels of OIP from bitumen and heavy oil contained in oil sands formations and deposits.  

 

A substantial part of the oil sands deposits in the PR Spring Leases are accessible through outcroppings or in shallow depths with limited or no overburden. In our view, the location and accessibility of oil sands deposits at PR Spring creates an opportunity for commercial development, supported by positive economics, using surface mining techniques and our extraction technology.

 

The worldwide growing demand for heavy crude oil and the recent decline in  crude oil production in countries such as Venezuela, Russia and the Ukraine17 makes the high quality, low sulfur, heavy oil found in oil sands deposits in the United States a valuable resource that has been underdeveloped to date. The development of oil sands domestically has the potential to turn the United States into a major supplier of heavy oil to world markets. To date, oil sands development has been limited by the absence of a viable technology that can extract heavy oil and bitumen from the oil sands deposits in an economical and environmentally responsible manner. To that end, Sky Quarry aims to develop its oil sands leases in an economically and environmentally responsible manner.

Asphalt Paving Sales Market

 

Asphalt is a key infrastructure construction material noted for its durability, flexibility, and ability to withstand adverse weather conditions. Asphalt is widely used for resurfacing projects to extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure and to repair cracks, potholes, and deterioration. The asphalt market is driven by the demand for road infrastructure development, maintenance, and repair.

 

The paving infrastructure industry is seeing progress in the adoption of asphalt technologies aimed at elevating performance, durability, and sustainability, including the use of polymer-modified asphalt and warm mix asphalt, and the use of asphalt shingles and reclaimed asphalt pavement. For example, Missouri Department of Transportation reports that blending asphalt shingles to its hot mix asphalt results in a very durable, more-rut resistant asphalt at a much lower price, and that by using RAS  , the department reduces the amount of liquid asphalt in a mix design by 20 percent to 25 percent18. Together, these innovations strive to extend the longevity, environmental impact, and durability of paving asphalt and to reduce the demand for virgin materials and promoting circular economy principles.

 

Recent favorable economic developments are expected to further boost overall activity and revenue in the construction industry where Federal and State government departments are investing in infrastructure projects such as highway or roadway repair, bridge and road construction and rehabilitation.

 

U.S. Infrastructure Bill

 

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed into law a $1.2 trillion bipartisan package for new federal investments in America’s infrastructure over five years, including money for roads, bridges, mass transit, rail, airports, ports and waterways. Over $110 billion of new funds is allocated toward improving the nation’s roads and bridges, and investments in other major transportation programs19.

 

Under the infrastructure package, $2.6 billion will be invested in roads and bridges in Utah over the next five years20. Projects scheduled to start or already under construction in 2023 include a brand-new highway, new interchanges, widened freeways and highways, new paths for pedestrians and cyclists, maintenance to keep roads and bridges in good condition and improved access to a new state park. Under that same infrastructure package, California will receive $28.2 billion to build and repair more than 14,220 miles of highways and 1,536 bridges over five years21.

 

Oil Refining and Sales Market

 

The process of converting crude oil into usable products is called refining. Refining is part of the midstream sector, one of the three main components of the oil and gas industry. The most commonly made product from one barrel of crude oil is motor fuel, particularly gasoline and diesel. Processed crude oil has a wide array of uses. Apart from being turned into transportation fuels, it is also a major feedstock in the petrochemical industry and the building block for plastics as well as

products associated with infrastructure markets. Oil refineries across the world extracted over 95 million barrels of crude oil per day in 202222. US Oil production was at an all-time high in 201923, largely due to greater demand by the mobility sector and industrial growth. As the gasoline and diesel retail market is one of the most important customers for refineries, the coronavirus pandemic and resulting mobility restrictions greatly affected profit margins of refiners around the world24. At the end of 2022, eight major refineries in the U.S. were returned to service after being retrofitted to bio-fuel outputs with a further six refineries currently offline expected to come onstream by the end of 202325. Our sustainable waste energy portfolio will leverage both crude oil with a blended waste to energy oil from waste asphalt shingles that we expect to benefit from the growing demand for refined oil.

 

According to a 2022 report produced by the International Energy Agency (“IEA”), global oil consumption, given current government policies, will rise from 94 million barrels per day in 2021 to an estimated 103 million barrels per day by 2030 and then remain at or near that level until 205026.

 

The U.S. continues to be an important global supplier of crude oil and natural gas and has seen increased demand in local crude and refined oil products due to the national infrastructure projects that have been approved and initiated.

 

Regulation

 

OSHA and Other Laws and Regulations.

 

We are subject to the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act27 (“OSHA”), and comparable state laws. The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under the Title III of CERCLA and similar state laws require that we organize and/or disclose information about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations. Also, pursuant to OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has established a variety of standards related to workplace exposure to hazardous substances and employee health and safety.

 

Oil Pollution Act.

 

The Federal Oil Pollution Act of 199028 (“OPA”) and resulting regulations impose a variety of obligations on responsible parties related to the prevention of oil spills and liability for damages resulting from such spills in waters of the United States. The term “waters of the United States” has been broadly defined to include inland water bodies, including wetlands and intermittent streams. The OPA assigns joint and several strict liability to each responsible party for oil removal costs and a variety of public and private damages. We believe that we are in compliance with the OPA and the federal regulations promulgated thereunder in the conduct of our operations.

Clean Water Act.

 

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act29 (“Clean Water Act”) and resulting regulations, which are primarily implemented through a system of permits, also govern the discharge of certain contaminants into waters of the United States. Sanctions for failure to comply strictly with the Clean Water Act are generally resolved by payment of fines and correction of any identified deficiencies. However, regulatory agencies could require us to cease construction or operation of certain facilities or to cease hauling wastewater to facilities owned by others that are the source of water discharges. We believe that we substantially comply with the Clean Water Act and related federal and state regulations.

Reverse Stock Split

 

We filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware on April 9, 2024 (the “Effective Split Date”) to effect a one-for-three (1-for-3) (the “Split Ratio”) reverse stock split of our shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), without changing the par value, rights, terms, conditions, and limitations of such shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any of our stockholders that were entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split  instead received one additional share of our common stock in lieu of the fractional share. The   Reverse Stock Split did not in itself affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of our common stock, except to the extent that any fractional share was rounded up to the nearest whole share. The number of shares of common stock subject to the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities was also reduced by the Split Ratio as of the Effective Split Date and their respective exercise prices were increased by the Split Ratio. Neither the authorized shares of capital stock nor the par value per share of our common stock was affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

We are an oil production, refining, and a development-stage environmental remediation company formed to deploy technologies to facilitate the recycling of waste asphalt shingles and remediation of oil-saturated sands and soils. The recycling of asphalt shingles is expected to reduce the dependence on landfills for the removal of waste and to also reduce dependence on foreign and domestic virgin crude oil extraction for industrial uses.

 

We have developed a process for separating oil from oily sands and other oil-bearing solids utilizing a proprietary solvent which we refer to as our ECOSolv technology or the ECOSolv process. The solvent is used in a closed-loop distillation and evaporation circuit which results in over 99% of the solvent being recoverable for continuous reuse and requires no water. The solvent has demonstrated oil separation rates of over 95% in bench testing using samples of both mined crushed ore and ground asphalt shingles.

 

We intend to retrofit the PR Spring Facility, located in southeast Utah (as defined below) to recycle waste asphalt shingles using our ECOSolv technology,  to produce and sell oil as well as asphalt paving aggregate mined from our bitumen deposit.

 

We also plan to develop a modular ASR Facility which can be deployed in cities with high concentrations of waste asphalt shingles and near asphalt shingle manufacturing centers.

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on June 4, 2019 as “Recoteq, Inc.” On April 22, 2020, we changed our name to “Sky Quarry Inc.”. Sky Quarry is a holding company and has no operations. The purpose of the holding company is to maintain ownership over our subsidiaries, create management efficiencies and establish an organizational structure to facilitate the potential acquisition of other businesses within or complementary to our industry.

 

On September 16, 2020, we acquired 2020 Resources LLC. The assets of 2020 Resources include an oil sands remediation facility (the “PR Spring facility”) and a 100% interest in asphalt bitumen leases covering approximately 5,930 acres in the PR Spring region in Utah. On September 16, 2020, we also acquired 2020 Resources (Canada) Ltd, an entity which is currently inactive.

 

On September 30, 2022, we acquired Foreland Refining Corporation, which is engaged in the refining of heavy crude oil into diesel and other petroleum products (naphtha, vacuum gas oil, and paving asphalt liquids) at its Eagle Springs Refinery located near Ely, Nevada. The acquisition of Foreland was immediately accretive to our revenues and cash flow and provides a strong base for growth. We believe the acquisition is a strategic fit and will form an important role in the future enabling us to vertically integrate the production and refining of oil from waste materials to energy in a sustainable and efficient manner.

 

Our Financial Condition and Going Concern Issues

 

As a result of our financial condition, we have included in our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, a note indicating that there is significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm for those statements also includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. From inception (June 4, 2019) through December 31, 2023, we have incurred accumulated net losses of $9,239,578. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and generate more revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this, we may not be able to continue as an operating company. At our current revenue and burn rate, we have an immediate cash need, and thus we must raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. However, there is no assurance that our existing cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our existing operating expenses and capital requirements.

Net Sales

 

We had net sales of $50,731,889 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $16,287,407 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $34,444,482, or over 211%. The increase in net sales was due to our acquisition of Foreland, which didn’t take place until September 30, 2022.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Our cost of goods sold was $47,831,980 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $12,631,272 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $35,200,708, or over 278%.  Our cost of goods sold consisted of internal fuels, chemicals, labor, transportation and raw heavy and light crude oil. As with our net sales, the increase in cost of goods sold was due to our acquisition of Foreland, which didn’t take place until September 30, 2022. Cost of goods sold increased as a percentage of sales mainly due to an increase in 2023 raw crude costs as well as internal fuel, repairs and maintenance, and lab and safety costs.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were $4,267,790 and $5,137,580 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $869,790, or 17%.  

 

Our operating expenses consisted of general and administrative expenses, share based compensation, and depreciation and amortization.

 

General and administrative expense was $3,068,368 and $4,763,317 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively a decrease of $1,694,949, or 36%. A majority of the decrease was due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses related to insurance, repaird and maintenance, and internal fuel not related to cost of goods sold. In the year ended December 31, 2023, general and administrative expenses consisted mainly of executive compensation of $1,330,034 and professional fees of $1,002,639. In the year ended December 31, 2022, general and


14


administrative expenses consisted mainly of internal fuel of $1,321,555, professional fees of $844,631, and executive compensation of $514,715.

 

Share based compensation was $634,783 and $209,132 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. In the year ended December 31, 2023, share based compensation consisted of the grant of 3,334 incentive stock options to a key employee expiring on July 31, 2028 with an exercise price of $9.09 and vested immediately, and the grant of 83,334 incentive stock options to a director expiring on October 31, 2028 with an exercise price of $4.80 with 27,778 options vested immediately and remaining options vest equally in thirds on each anniversary of the grant date, and the grant of 616,334 incentive stock options to directors, officers, key employees, and consultants expiring on October 14, 2028 with an exercise price of $4.80 which invested immediately. In the year ended December 31, 2022, share based compensation consisted of the grant of 355,557 incentive stock options to directors, officers, key employees and consultants expiring on August 31, 2027 with an exercise price of $2.70 and which vest equally in thirds on each anniversary of the grant date offset by forfeitures of 133,334 options (as adjusted for the  Reverse Stock Split). 

 

Depreciation and amortization was $564,639 and $165,131 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. In both years, depreciation and amortization consisted solely of depreciation of Foreland plant, property and equipment, with 2023 realizing a full year of operations and depreciation. 

 

Loss from Operations

 

As a result of the items discussed above, our loss from operations was $1,367,881 and $1,481,445 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, a decrease of $113,564, or 8%. The loss of operations was driven by the decrease in the average sales prices of finished products, mainly diesel and liquid asphalt, as compared to the 2022 average prices.

 

Other Expenses

 

Other expenses were $3,254,126 and $2,304,899 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, an increase of $949,227, or 41%. In the year ended December 31, 2023, our other expenses consisted of interest expense of $3,639,520 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $205,425, offset in part by a gain on sale of assets of $564,811 and other income of $26,008. In the year ended December 31, 2022, our interest expense was related to charges related to the Foreland acquisition and related loans payable.

 

Loss Before Income Tax Benefit

 

Our loss before income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $4,622,007, and our loss before income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $3,786,344, an increase of $835,663, or 22%. The increase was mainly due to the interest expense related to loans payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Introduction

 

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2023, was $326,822. Our monthly cash flow burn rate in 2023 was approximately $31,000. As we integrate our Foreland acquisition, we have   medium and long term cash needs to support the growth and production initiatives and current debt payments. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

 

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:

Our cash decreased by $245,375 as of December 31, 2023, as compared to December 31, 2022. Our total current assets decreased by $2,124,465 primarily because of our decrease in accounts receivable of $719,595 and inventory of $1,004,382, driven by the decrease in the average sales prices of finished products, mainly diesel and liquid asphalt, as compared to the 2022 average prices. Our total assets increased by $2,363,837, despite our decrease in current assets, primarily because of an increase in restricted cash of $3,571,645 and an increase in property, plant and equipment of $464,142.

 

As of December 31, 2023, current liabilities increased by $3,751,061 and our total liabilities increased by $5,652,452, both primarily as a result of an increase in lines of credit of $3,061,698, current maturities of notes payable of $1,666,449, and notes payable of $1,967,001, all primarily to meet the cash needs of crude purchases and capital expenditures.

 

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2023, was $326,822. Our monthly cash flow burn rate in 2023 was approximately $31,000. As we integrate our Foreland acquisition, we will face strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

Laun consented to the described sanctions and was suspended for seven months, after which the suspension was lifted by June 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
of Sky Quarry, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sky Quarry Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial losses, with negative cash flows from operations, and has a retained deficit of approximately $9,200,000 as of December 31, 2023. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. If the Company is unable to raise additional debt or equity financing these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2021.

SKY QUARRY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS  

 

Sky Quarry Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Sky Quarry”, “SQI” or the “Company”) are, collectively, an oil production, refining, and a development-stage environmental remediation company formed to deploy technologies to facilitate the recycling of waste asphalt shingles and remediation of oil-saturated soils.  The recycling and production of oil from asphalt shingles is expected to reduce the dependence on landfills for the disposal of waste and to also reduce dependence on foreign and domestic virgin crude oil extraction for industrial uses.

 

The Company’s head office is located at 707 W 700 S, Ste 101, Woods Cross UT 84087. The Company is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

The Company was incorporated as Recoteq Inc. on June 4, 2019, in the State of Delaware, and changed its name to Sky Quarry Inc. on April 22, 2020.

 

The Company directly holds three wholly owned subsidiaries: 2020 Resources LLC (“2020 Utah”), 2020 Resources (Canada) Ltd. (“2020 Canada”) and Foreland Refining Corporation (“Foreland”) as shown below.

 

 

 

2020 Utah (formerly, US Oil Sands (Utah) LLC and USO (Utah) LLC) was incorporated on November 2, 2017, in the State of Delaware. 2020 Utah is engaged in the exploration and development of oil sands properties using the Company’s proprietary solvent extraction technology. Through 2020 Utah, the Company has a 100% working interest in bitumen leases covering 5,930 acres of land in the PR Spring Uintah basin area of Utah.

 

2020 Canada (formerly, USO (Canada) Ltd.) was incorporated on April 26, 2018, in the Province of Alberta, Canada under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Sky Quarry anticipates future expansion into Canada, which will be facilitated through 2020 Canada.

 

On September 30, 2022, the Company acquired Foreland (formerly, Petro Source Resources) which was incorporated in the State of Texas on May 29, 1998. Foreland is engaged in the refining of heavy oil into diesel and other petroleum products at its Eagle Springs Refinery located near Ely, Nevada.

 

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

Basis of preparation and use of estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting practices (“US GAAP”) and have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for certain financial assets and financial liabilities which are measured at fair value.

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the


F-6


SKY QUARRY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. In preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions regarding:

 

·the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts; 

·the fair value of stock options and warrants issued; 

·accounting for income taxes and any related variation allowance 

·impairment of long-lived assets, including intangibles 

·any changes to regulatory compliance; and 

·other matters that affect reported amounts and disclosures of contingencies in the financial statements. 

 

Other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are specifically identified as a significant estimate. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, when testing assets for impairment in future periods, if management uses different assumptions or if different conditions occur, impairment charges may result.

 

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis whereby the assets, liabilities and results of Sky Quarry, 2020 Canada, 2020 Utah and Foreland have been combined.

 

Concentrations

The Company maintains its cash in various bank accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these accounts, and management does not believe that the Company is exposed to significant credit risk.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses on receivables which, when realized, have been within the range of management’s expectations. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for risk of loss on all credit transactions.

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may provide credit terms to its customers based on their credit rating and generally require no collateral. A major customer is considered to be one that comprises more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable or annual revenue.

 

Concentrations of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:

Business Combinations 

Business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions) are accounted for by the Company in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805 - Business Combinations and pushdown accounting is applied to record the fair value of the assets acquired by the Company. Under this method, the purchase price is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the amount paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired will be allocated to goodwill. Hence, goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination.

 

Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 

Translation of Foreign Currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Transaction gains or (losses) on foreign currencies are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses and were ($2,060) and ($512) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at each period end are translated at the exchange rate in effect at that date.

 

The Company has a foreign currency exposure with respect to its Canadian operations as 2020 Canada operations are in Canada; therefore, US GAAP requires the Company to adjust the value of its investment for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company determines the functional currency of its subsidiaries based upon the primary currency used to generate and expend cash, which is the currency of the country in which the subsidiary is located. For subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation losses are deferred as other comprehensive loss and reclassified to earnings only upon sale or liquidation of that business. The foreign currency translation losses of $24,185 and $98,227 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


Accounts receivable 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable; however, changes in circumstances relating to accounts receivable may result in a requirement for additional allowances in the future. The Company determines the allowance based upon historical write-off experience and known conditions, both historically and forward looking about its customers’ current ability to pay. Account balances are charged against the allowance when management determines that the probability for collection is remote.  Management determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts was not necessary as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Inventory

Inventory includes freight-in, materials, labor and overhead costs and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines cost on the basis of the first-in, first-out method. Allowances are recorded for slow-moving, obsolete or unusable inventory.   The Company assesses inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable products and writes down the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future sales and supplies on-hand.

 

Oil and gas property and equipment 

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties per ASC 932. Acquisition costs associated with the acquisition of leases are capitalized.  Exploration costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, and costs associated with delay rentals and exploration overhead are charged against earnings as incurred. Costs of successful exploratory efforts along with acquisition costs and the costs of development of surface mining sites are capitalized. Costs incurred to obtain access to prove reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas are capitalized.

 

Site development costs are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending the determination of proved reserves. If proved reserves are found, site development costs remain capitalized as proved properties. Costs of unsuccessful site developments are charged to exploration expense. For site development costs for reserves that cannot be classified as proved, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory site development costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing site and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If management determines that future development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory development costs are expensed. In some instances, this determination may take longer than one year. The Company reviews the status of all suspended exploratory site development costs quarterly.

 

Capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method. Proved leasehold acquisition costs, less accumulated amortization, are depleted over total proved reserves, which includes proved undeveloped reserves. Capitalized costs of related equipment and facilities, including estimated asset retirement costs, net of estimated salvage values and less accumulated amortization are depreciated based on proved developed reserves associated with those capitalized costs. Depletion is calculated by applying the depreciation, depletion, and amortization (“DD&A”) rate (amortizable base divided by beginning of period proved reserves) to current period production.

 

Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the depletion calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The Company assesses its unproved properties for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.


F-9


SKY QUARRY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


Proved properties will be assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances dictate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes based on a common operating location. If there is an indication the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered, the asset is assessed for potential impairment by management through an established process. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pre-tax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Because there is usually a lack of quoted market prices for long-lived assets, the fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present values of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants or by comparable transactions. The expected future cash flows used for impairment reviews and related fair value calculations are typically based on judgmental assessments of future production volumes, commodity prices, operating costs, and capital investment plans, considering all available information at the date of review.

 

Gains or losses are recorded for sales or dispositions of oil and gas properties which constitute an entire common operating field, or which result in a significant alteration of the common operating field’s DD&A rate. These gains and losses are classified as asset dispositions in the accompanying consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Partial common operating field sales or dispositions deemed not to significantly alter the DD&A rates are generally accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized.

 

The Company capitalizes interest costs incurred and attributable to material unproved oil and gas properties and major development projects of oil and gas properties. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no proved reserves assigned to its properties.

 

Other property and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Repair and maintenance costs that do not improve service potential or extend economic life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are reviewed periodically and generally have the following ranges:

 

 

Years

Buildings

10

Machinery and equipment

5 ― 15

Office furniture and equipment

2 ― 7

Leasehold improvements

4 ― 5

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.  The Company acquired goodwill in its acquisition of Foreland. The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize an impairment related to goodwill.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of cash amounts that are contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal and represents surety bonds in the amount of $786,384 with the State of Utah in connection with mineral leases regarding the PR Spring facility property, and $3,567,630 in cash deposited by the Company into a separate bank account and designated as collateral for a standby letter of credit in the same amount in accordance with contractual agreements.  Refer to Note 12 for more information about our standby letters of credit.

 

Leases

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted FASB (“Financial Accounting Standards Board”) Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), increases transparency and comparability by the recognition of the right-of-use assets and related operating and finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. As permitted by ASC 842, we elected the adoption date of January 1, 2023, which is the date of initial application. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense.

 

Right of use assets represent the lessee’s right to use a leased asset over the lease term. They are initially measured at the present value of lease payments, adjusted for any lease incentives or initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. Subsequently, the right of use assets are typically amortized over the lease term, and the lease liability is reduced as lease payments are made. The lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments, determined under ASC 842, discounted using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rate at the effective date of the commencement of the lease, using the original lease term as the tenor. As permitted under ASC 842, the Company elected several practical expedients that permit the Company to not reassess (1) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. The application of the practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the measurement of the operating lease liability. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

 

Commitments and contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to various pending and threatened litigation actions. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities for environmental remediation or restoration claims resulting from allegations of improper operation of assets are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Expenditures related to such environmental matters are expensed or capitalized in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy for property and equipment.

 

Revenue recognition 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is measured based on the amount defined per the contract and recognized when performance obligations within a contract are satisfied which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the goods to the customer. Substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from product sales that consist of a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.

 

Product sales to customers are made under a purchase order (PO), or in certain cases, in accordance with the terms of a master services agreement (MSA) or similar arrangement, which defines the rights and obligations of each party.


F-11


SKY QUARRY INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payments within 30 days.

 

The Company accounts for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. As such, shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in cost of sales.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount.

 

The Company believes that the future undiscounted net cash flows to be received from its long-lived assets exceed the assets’ carrying values and, accordingly, the Company has not recognized any impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Offering costs 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10 in recording and treating costs associated with the offering of the Company’s securities.  These costs consist of legal, escrow, exchange and marketing fees incurred in connection with the capital raising efforts of the Company.  Under ASC 340-10, costs incurred are capitalized until the offering closes whereupon the offering costs are charged to shareholders’ equity if the offering is successful or expensed in the period of an aborted or unsuccessful offering.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, which includes the Company’s accounts receivables and contract assets.  ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will generally result in more timely recognition of credit losses.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023.  Adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.  

 

Comparative amounts

The comparative amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the presentation used in the current year.

 

3.GOING CONCERN 

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Management is aware, in making its going concern assessment, of material uncertainties related to events and conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,239,578. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $376,062. The Company has received financing and capital through private placements of $4,289,592 of debt capital and $170,398 of equity capital.

 

Without additional financing, the Company does not have sufficient operating cash flows to pay for its expenditures and settle its obligations as they mature. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, there is uncertainty in meeting these obligations. The Company does have to raise additional capital in the form of debt, equity and/or warrant exercise proceeds to fund future capital expenditures, retire maturing debt obligations and any possible acquisitions. The Company’s current plan includes closely monitoring its growth and operating expenses, refinancing its current debt with longer term

debt with amortization schedules that decrease monthly debt service obligations. These actions are intended to mitigate the going concern uncertainties and support the Company’s growth plans in commercializing its extraction technology. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

To date in 2024  the Company has issued 110,000 shares, amounting to $246,546, net of offering costs, and On January 11, 2024, Foreland entered into an agreement of sale of future receivables with Libertas Funding, LLC for the sale of $2,632,852 of future sales receipts for gross proceeds of $2,056,916, of which $796,916 and $1,260,000 was used to extinguish May 17, 2023 and June 30, 2023 agreements respectively.

Management believes that the implementation of its plans will allow the Company to continue as a going concern. Investors are encouraged to review the financial statements and related disclosures for a comprehensive understanding of the Company’s financial position.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and statement of financial position classifications that would be necessary were the going concern assumption inappropriate. These adjustments could be material.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $7,305,623, which may be available to offset future federal income and do not expire. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had state net operating losses of $4,182,641 which may be available to offset future state income tax and do not expire. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had Canada net operating losses of $2,110,643 which may be available to offset future Canadian income tax and begin to expire in 2043.

 

The Company considered all positive and negative evidence. Given the caution of Subtopic 30-21 regarding the difficulty in forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed in the case of cumulative losses, it is the Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s existing deferred tax assets in the U.S. will not be realized and that a valuation allowance is necessary as of December 31, 2023. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of in the U.S. The Company has evaluated all of the negative and positive evidence at December 31, 2023, and concludes that due to the Company being in a 3-year cumulative loss position, it is more likely than not that the net Canadian deferred tax assets will be not realized. As such, the Company has recorded and maintained a full valuation allowance in Canada. As of December 31, 2022 the deferred tax liabilities of $1,341,932 is related to the acquisition of Foreland assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a history of operating losses, the Company has concluded that it more than likely than not that the benefit of its deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Accordingly, the Company has a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, of $1,075,282 and $360,414, respectively.

 

The Company has not performed a Section 382 study to determine whether it had experienced a change in ownership and, if so, whether the tax attributes (net operating losses or credits) were impaired. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss or other tax attributes, such as research tax credits, in any taxable year may be limited if the Company has experienced an “ownership change.” Generally, a Section 382 ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative increase of more than 50 percentage points in the stock ownership of one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who owns at least 5% of a corporation’s stock within a specified testing period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
