Liquidity	Note 2. Liquidity We have historically suffered net losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations, and as of December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $55.2 million. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $3.77 million and $2.09 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 we had cash of $3.1 million. In addition, we have obligations to pay approximately $17,500,000 (of which approximately $16,500,000 can be satisfied through the issuance of our common stock under the terms of the debt and $334,000 is related to PPP loans that are anticipated to be forgiven) of debt in cash within one year of the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In February 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,600,000 shares of common stock, at a public offering price of $5.00 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of $6.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses. Prior to the offering, we financed our operations primarily through debt financing, private equity offerings, and our working interest agreements. We believe the liquid assets from the Company’s available for sale investments and funding provided from subsequent fundraising activities (see Note 24) of the Company will give it adequate working capital to finance our day-to-day operations for at least twelve months through May 2024. Our CEO has also committed to provide credit support through June 2024, as necessary, for an amount up to $8 million to provide the Company sufficient cash resources, if required, to execute its plans for the next twelve months. Based on the above, we believe these plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis. If the Company encounters unforeseen circumstances that place constraints on its capital resources, management will be required to take various measures to conserve liquidity. Management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will raise additional capital if needed.
