Note 2. Going Concern & Liquidity

 

We have historically suffered net losses and cumulative negative cash flows from operations, and as of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $65.9 million. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $34.9 million and $3.77 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash of approximately $744,000. In addition, we have obligations to pay approximately $18.1 million of debt within one year of the issuance of these financial statements. Of the $18.1 million, $15.3 million can be satisfied through the issuance of registered common stock under the terms of the debt. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, subject to available cash flows, the Company continued to develop its technologies, its strategy to monetize its intellectual properties and execute its business plan. To date we have financed our operations primarily through debt financing, private and public equity offerings and our working interest agreements. For the fiscal year 2023 we raised approximately $3 million through debt financings with individual investors, $2.2M through a sale lease back agreement, and subsequent to year end we raised an additional $3 million through additional debt financing (Note 22). The Company entered into merger and acquisition agreements with anticipated closing dates in 2024 (Note 22). Even though these merger and acquisition transactions are projected to close in 2024 and yield substantial cash flow that may provide adequate working capital to finance its day-to-day operations and current obligations, these events were not considered probable as of December 31, 2023 because they have not closed as of the date of our filing.

 

Based on the above, we believe there is 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 be able to execute its plans to raise additional capital, close its merger and acquisitions, or that its operations or business plan will be profitable.
