Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d…) Going concern of operations These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception in the amount of $12,952,257, has a working capital deficiency of $3,792,894 as of December 31, 2023 and has not yet achieved profitable operations. The Company requires equity or debt financings to fund its operation, which it has been unable to secure in sufficient amounts to date, and there can be no assurances that it will be able to do so in the future. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company also expects to raise additional funds through equity and debt financings. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company has raised $1,365,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures. These debentures had a maturity date of September 12, 2024 but are currently in default due to the Company’s failure to repay the principal and accrued interest on the maturity date. The Company is currently negotiating a debt restructuring plan with the debenture holders. Additionally, the Company has received subscription proceeds totaling $2,350,000. Management believes that this plan provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern subject to its continued ability to raise funds to maintain its operations and manage its working capital deficiency. In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to, meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and bases its estimates on experience, current and expected future conditions, third-party evaluations and various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates have been used by management in conjunction with the following: (i) the fair value of assets when determining the existence of impairment factors and the amount of impairment, if any; (ii) the costs of site restoration when determining decommissioning liabilities; (iii) the useful lives of assets for the purposes of depletion and depreciation; (iv) petroleum and natural gas reserves; and (v) share-based payments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. New accounting standards On October 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as issued by the FASB, the modified retrospective approach. This update replaces the incurred loss methodology with a forward-looking current expected credit loss (CECL) model for most financial assets measured at amortized cost. The CECL model requires the recognition of credit losses for financial assets based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Adoption of this standard is on a modified retrospective basis and had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or net loss per share. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The standard requires companies to disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation table and the amount of income taxes paid per major jurisdiction. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and has begun evaluating disclosure presentation alternatives.
