Liquidity and Going Concern

Note 2 Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a cumulative net loss from inception to September 30, 2023 of approximately $24 million. The accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s cash resources from operations may be insufficient to meet its anticipated needs during the next twelve months. If the Company does not execute its plan, it may require additional financing to fund its future planned operations.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing, continuing to focus our Company on the most profitable elements, and exploring alternative funding sources on an as needed basis. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges, and inflationary pressures (including cost and availability of helium) have impacted the Company’s business operations to some extent and is expected to continue to do so and these impacts may include reduced access to capital. In addition, as described in Note 3, the Company has a related party, subordinated note in the amount of $1.3 million scheduled to become due and payable on December 31, 2023. While the Company expects to resolve this note using cash and/or equity, there can be no assurance of success. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have traditionally been comprised of cash and cash equivalents as well as availability under the Credit Agreement in place at the time (see Note 3). We endured compliance failures with covenants until September 2021 when we refinanced our credit facility. We believe we have been in compliance with our new credit facility since that time. This credit facility concluded on September 30, 2023 but we executed an extension with the same lender until September 30, 2025.
