Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Organization and General Business Information
CYBER APP SOLUTIONS CORP. (the “Company” or "CYRB") is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on February 19, 2021. The Company's corporate office is in Houston, Texas.
The Company is focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of helium and food grade carbon dioxide (CO2) along with having the capabilities for carbon capture and storage. The Company’s assets are concentrated in the St. Johns Field located in Apache County, Arizona of the United States (the “St. Johns Field").
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the Company for the periods presented. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules of the SEC and the accounting standards for interim financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on April 2, 2024.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Information
The Company has one reportable operating segment. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as its chief operating decision maker, who evaluates the operations of the Company using consolidated information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-02, "Codification Improvements." The ASU removes references to various FASB Concepts Statements in a variety of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2024-02 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and although permitted, the Company does not intend to early adopt.
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. The rules will require public entities to provide certain climate-related information in their annual reports and registration statements. The rules will be effective for non-accelerated filers commencing with the fiscal period beginning January 1, 2027. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily issued an administrative stay of the implementation of the rules, pending judicial review. The Company will evaluate the impact of the final rules on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 "Segment Reporting (Topic 820)," which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendment prescribes interim disclosure requirements, clarifies circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provides new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contains other disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for public companies with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscals years beginning after December 15, 2024. CYRB is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its segment reporting disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires companies to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and although permitted, the Company does not intend to early adopt. CYRB is continuing to evaluate the provisions of ASU 2023-09 and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures upon adoption.
Note 3 – Liquidity
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company’s development activities require it to make significant operating and capital expenditures. Its primary sources of liquidity have been through the issuance of debt and equity. The primary uses of cash have been for the St. Johns Field Acquisition, development of the St. Johns Field, commencing production, helium plant installation, corporate overhead, debt service costs, and paydown of debt.
The Company has a history of recurring losses from operations and had a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We have no committed capital to address our material liquidity needs over the next twelve months from the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements being issued and there is no assurance that the Company will raise the capital required. Additionally, the Company has no assurance of future profitability. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Note 4 – Revenue Recognition
Revenues from Contracts with Customers
Helium and CO2 sales are recognized at the point title and control of the product is transferred to the customer, which will differ depending on the terms of each contract. Transfer of title and control drives the presentation of gathering, processing and other post-production expenses within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For those contracts where the Company has concluded that control of the product transfers at the tailgate of the plant, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, with gathering, processing and other post-production expenses presented within the Gathering and processing expenses line item on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenses and fees incurred after title and control transfers are netted against revenues. Alternatively, for those contracts where the Company has concluded that title and control of the product transfers at or near the wellhead or inlet of the plant, the Company recognizes helium and CO2 revenues net of gathering, processing and other post-production expenses.
Performance Obligations
The Company's contractual performance obligations arise upon the production of gas from wells in which the Company has an ownership interest. The performance obligations are considered satisfied upon control of helium and CO2 being transferred to the customer(s) at the dedicated delivery point, which in the Company's current contract is the tailgate of the plant. The Company records revenue in the month production is delivered to the customer. Payment is unconditional once the performance obligations have been satisfied. At this time, the volume and price can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in Accounts receivable, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no receivable accrued because the purchaser withheld the Company's proceeds to offset payables owed by the Company to the purchaser.
Disaggregated Revenue Information
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, all of the Company's revenue is from helium sales at the St. Johns Field.

Helium and CO2 Properties
As the Company's development work progresses and the reserves on the Company's properties are proven, capitalized costs attributed to the properties and mineral interest are subject to depletion. Depletion of capitalized costs is provided using the units-of-production method based on proved helium and CO2 reserves. Depletion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, was $45,661 and $0, respectively.
These capitalized costs are subject to a ceiling test that limits such pooled costs, net of applicable deferred taxes, to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved helium and CO2 reserves discounted at 10%. Any costs in excess of the ceiling are written off as a non-cash expense. The Company did not record an impairment to proved helium and CO2 properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Costs associated with unproved properties are excluded from the amortization base until the properties are evaluated or impairment is indicated. The costs associated with unproved leasehold acreage and related seismic data, are initially excluded from the amortization base. Leasehold costs are either transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling and/or completing a well on the lease or are assessed at least annually for possible impairment or reduction in value. The Company’s decision to withhold costs from amortization and the timing of the transfer of those costs into the amortization base involves judgment and may be subject to changes over time based on several factors, including drilling plans, availability of capital, project economics and drilling results from adjacent acreage. The Company did not record an impairment to unproved helium and CO2 properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
Other Property, Plant and Equipment
The Company's other property, plant and equipment include a vehicle and helium plant costs. The vehicle is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years and the helium plant is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 25 years. Related to the vehicle, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded depreciation of $2,605 in both periods. Related to the helium plant that commenced operations in July 2023, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded depreciation of $18,640 and $0, respectively.

The outstanding principal amount under the convertible notes issued to Kips Bay Select, LP and Cyber One, Ltd., including the $250,000 per Event of Default included in the Mandatory Premium Amount (see Note 7 – Debt for defining of such terms), due was approximately $21,000,000 compared to the fair value under the fair value option of $19,168,307.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the notes payable and the Black-Scholes-Merton model to estimate the fair value of the warrants, which both included assumptions such as risk-free rate, volatility, and expected term. After determining the fair value of the notes payable and warrants, the Company implemented the probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM), which considered the probability of success and failure of the Company. Changes in any of the assumptions used in the valuation models may result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. The following assumptions were used to fair value the notes payable and warrants:

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain $983,433 and $0, respectively, on mark-to-market of the warrants and change in fair value of the notes payable recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The Company separates interest expense from the full change in fair value of the notes payable and presents that amount in Interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remainder of the change in fair value of the notes payable are presented in Unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, related party note receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities or liquid nature of these assets and liabilities.
Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
Non-financial assets and liabilities that are initially measured at fair value are comprised of asset retirement obligations and stock-based compensation. The Company did not add any asset retirement obligations during three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.
The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, a Board of Director elected to receive their first quarter 2024 compensation in the form of common stock of the Company. The Company measured the fair value of the award at $3,030 based on the price per share the Company received when it sold common stock in private placements near the time of the compensation award.
Note 7 – Debt
Securities Purchase Agreement with Kips Bay Select LP and Cyber One LTD
On November 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Kips Bay Select LP and Cyber One, LTD, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to each of Kips Bay Select LP and Cyber One, LTD, i) a convertible promissory note which will be convertible into shares of common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant (each a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) which will be exercisable to purchase shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares).
Convertible Promissory Notes
On November 21, 2023, pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to each of Kips Bay Select LP (“Kips Bay 2023 Note”) and Cyber One, LTD (“Cyber One 2023 Note”), collectively referred to as the Holders, in the principal amount of $8,000,000 to each for an aggregate principal amount of $16,000,000. The Kips Bay 2023 Note and the Cyber One 2023 Note are collectively referred to as the “2023 Convertible Notes”. The 2023 Convertible Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 50% and bear simple interest accruing as of November 21, 2023, at the rate of 5% per annum or 18% per annum following any Event of Default (as defined in the SPA and 2023 Convertible Notes agreements). The interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months and shall not compound. The 2023 Convertible Notes have a maturity date of July 21, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).
The 2023 Convertible Notes are convertible (in whole or in part), at the option of the Holders, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) 70% of the lowest trading price of the common stock in the 15 trading days ending on the date of the delivery of the applicable conversion notice, and (ii) the Valuation Cap Price (defined as $250,000,000 subject to reduction of 10% upon each occurrence of an event of default divided by the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis), with a Floor Price (defined as $100,000,000 divided by the number of shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable conversion).
Due to the 2023 Convertible Notes having numerous embedded derivatives, the Company elected the fair value option to account for them. See fair value disclosures in Note 6 - Fair Value Measurement. The Company separates interest expense from the full change in fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes and presents that amount in Interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remainder of the change in fair value of the 2023 Convertible Notes are presented in Unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Convertible Notes, the Company shall repay the $16,000,000 commencing on January 21, 2024 with $1,500,000 due monthly and any remaining outstanding principal due on July 21, 2024. The Company have the option to accelerate payments and reduce the overall principal repaid. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had made no payments on the outstanding principal and interest amounts of the 2023 Convertible Notes.
The 2023 Convertible Notes limit the Company’s ability to issue any debt, equity or equity-linked securities (including options or warrants) that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive shares of our common stock and to issue any securities in a capital or debt raising transactions or series of related transactions with more favorable terms than the 2023 Convertible Notes without the consent of the Holders.
The following events constituted an Event of Default under the 2023 Convertible Notes: (i) any default in the payment of any portion of the principal or interest; (ii) failure to observe or perform material covenants; (iii) inability to convert the 2023 Convertible Notes
into its common stock; (iv) failure to timely deliver shares of common stock or make payment of any fees or liquidated damages under the 2023 Convertible Notes; (v) failure to have required minimum shares of common stock authorized, reserved and available for issuance; (vi) default on any other indebtedness; (vii) apply for or consent to the appointment of or the commencement of any type of receivership or any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, (viii) any judgment or settlements exceeding $250,000, (ix) failure to instruct transfer agent to remove any legends from the shares of common stock; (x) the Company’s common stock no longer publicly traded or cease to be listed on the trading market; (xi) any SEC or judicial stop trade order or any restrictions on transactions in the shares of the common stock; (xii) failure to comply with reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; (xiii) failure to file timely with the SEC; (xiv) a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the SPA, and (xv) any inaccurate representations or warranties made by the Company in any transaction documents or public filings. The 2023 Convertible Notes did not contain any financial covenants.
The Company failed to make the interest payments starting in December 2023, principal payments starting in January 2024, and did not file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares. These items resulted in Events of Default under the SPA and 2023 Convertible Notes.
The Event of Default had the following significant impacts: (i) the interest rate per annum on outstanding principal amounts increased from 5.0% to 18.0%; (ii) a Mandatory Premium Amount became due, which consists of $250,000 for every Event of Default that has occurred and its reoccurrence plus the $16,000,000 outstanding principal and the accrued interest, up to the sum of the 130% of the $16,000,000 outstanding principal and accrued interest; and (iii) the conversion price of the notes were no longer subjected to a floor price. The Mandatory Premium Amounts as of March 31, 2024 was approximately $22,000,000.
Registration Payment Arrangements
In connection with the SPA, on November 21, 2023, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with Kips Bay Select LP and Cyber One, LTD, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC by January 5, 2024 an initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares, and any common stock of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares, or the 2023 Convertible Notes (the “Registrable Securities”). The initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 was to register for resale at least the number of shares of common stock equal to 200% of the sum of (i) the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes and related interest and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, as of the date such Registration Statement on Form S-1 was initially filed with the SEC.
If (i) a Registration Statement of Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be file by the Company pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before January 5, 2024 (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before (a) with respect to the initial Registration Statement on Form S-1, the earlier of the (A) February 19, 2024 and (B) 2nd business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement on Form S-1 will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review and (b) with respect to any additional Registration Statements on Form S-1 that may be required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Registration Rights Agreement, the earlier of the (A) 60th calendar day following the date on which the Company was required to file such additional Registration Statement on Form S-1 and (B) 2nd business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement on Form S-1 will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review, for such Registration Statement on Form S-1 (an “Effectiveness Failure”), (ii) on any day after the Registration Statement on Form S-1 has been declared effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”) sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement on Form S-1 or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), or (iii) if a Registration Statement on Form S-1 is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Current Public Information Failure”), the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to one and half percent (1.5%) of the $16,000,000 principal amount (the “Registration Delay Payments”).
The Registration Delay Payments are due (1) on the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of common stock on the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, OTCQB, OTCQX or the OTC Pink) with respect to any period during which all Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).
A Filing Failure occurred on January 5, 2024 and has still not been cured as of March 31, 2024. The Company recorded $745,440 for Registration Delay Payments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Event of default fees and such amount was accrued in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Interest expense payable as of March 31, 2024.

The gains and losses resulting from the mark-to-market of the bifurcated conversion options and warrants are included within “Unrealized gain on derivatives mark-to-market” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there was a gain of $68,860 and $0, respectively, on mark-to-market of the bifurcated conversion options and warrants.

Note 10 – Leases
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had operating leases recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for equipment leased at the helium plant in the St. Johns Field, office space in Houston, Texas (the “Houston Office”) and a site lease agreement in Arizona (the “Site Lease Agreement”) for storage of equipment. The helium plant equipment lease expires in March 2028, the Houston Office lease was amended in October 2023 and included an extension of the expiration date from October 2025 to January 2027 and the Site Lease Agreement expired in February 2024. All the leases had renewal options, but the Company did not
recognize any of the renewal options. The Company excluded variable lease payments for operating expenses in the Houston Office and the service component of the equipment lease.
The accompanying balance sheets include leases with terms greater than 12 months at commencement. The present value of future lease payments was determined based upon the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The table below summarizes the Company's discount rate and remaining lease term.

Note 11 - Warrants
On November 21, 2023, pursuant to the SPA (as described in Note 7 – Debt), the Company issued to each Kips Bay Select LP and Cyber One, LTD warrants to subscribe for and purchase from the Company up to 3,846,154 shares of common stock, collectively 7,692,308 shares of common stock, at an exercise price equal to the lower of: (i) $3.12 per share and (ii) the Valuation Cap Price. The warrants are exercisable from November 21, 2023 and expire on November 21, 2028. In case of a registration (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the warrants may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” on terms and conditions provided in the warrants. The Valuation Cap Price means the price per share of common stock calculated by
dividing $250,000,000 by the number of shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable exercise under this Warrant, subject to adjustment as provided therein. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 7,692,308 warrants were outstanding and exercisable.
All warrants noted above were separated from their respective debt instruments and fair valued at each reporting period. See fair value disclosures in Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements.
Note 12 – Stockholders' Deficit
Common Stock
The Company has one class of common stock. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's authorized capital consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of 0.001 per share.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 150,087 shares of common stock in private placements for proceeds of $187,609.
Stock Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 2,424 shares of common stock to a member of the Board of Directors at their election for their first quarter of 2024 compensation as opposed to their cash retainer. The compensation expense for the award totaled $3,030 and was estimated using a fair value of $1.25 per share. The fair value per share was based on the price the Company received when it sold common stock in private placements. The expense was recorded to General and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Conversion Features
The Holders of the 2023 Convertible Notes have the right to convert all or part of their outstanding principal amount to shares of common stock. See Note 7 – Debt for the conversion price and adjustments.
Common Stock Reserved
The Company reserved 41,191,116 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes and exercise of Warrants and 10,842,453 shares of common stock for certain indemnified transfers of common stock at the stock transfer agent.
Note 13 – Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, giving effect to all potential dilutive securities outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted loss per share is computed using the treasury stock method.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the numerator of basic net loss per share is the net loss of the accounting acquirer attributable to common stockholders for the comparative reporting periods. The denominator of basic net loss per share is weighted average number of common shares of the accounting acquirer outstanding pre-acquisition, multiplied by the exchange ratio.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:

As the Company was in a net loss position for all periods presented, the Company has determined all potentially dilutive shares would be anti-dilutive in these periods and therefore are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This results in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding to be the same for basic and diluted earnings per share.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock and debt instruments convertible into common stock. There would be 35,529,258 and 6,349,756 of additional common shares at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the possible exercise of outstanding warrants and conversion of the debt instruments.
Note 14 – Income Taxes
The Company is a C corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax and state and local income taxes.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 0%. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has U.S. net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of $4,384,563 to offset taxable income, if any, in future years. Federal NOLs generated in 2023 and 2024 may be carried forward indefinitely. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Tax periods for all fiscal years after 2021 remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.
Note 15 – Transactions with Related Parties
Consulting Arrangements
The Company had advisory consulting agreements with TPG Commercial Finance, an entity in which Jim Culver, a principal owner of either directly or indirectly more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, is the President/Owner. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred costs of $0 and $20,000, respectively. The costs were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to “General and administrative expenses – related parties”.
The Company received human resource services from an immediate family member of a named executive officer. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $15,000 in fees related to Human Resource services. These costs were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to “General and administrative expenses – related parties”.
Related Party Note Receivable
In September 2022, the Company loaned $25,000 to VVC Resources, an entity in which Jim Culver, a principal owner of either directly or indirectly more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, is the President and CEO. The loan bore interest at zero percent. There was no stated maturity date for the loan. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related party note receivable had a balance of $25,000.
Co-Tenancy Arrangement
In October 2023, the Board approved a co-tenancy arrangement whereby we expanded the leased space in our Houston office and share the expanded space with Pantheon Resources, PLC, an entity where our Chairman of the Board of Directors, David Hobbs, serves as Executive Chairman. We share equally the costs of the lease and office supplies.
Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
As of March 31, 2024, all of the assets of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the 2023 Convertible Notes.
Contingencies
Legal
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various legal actions. In management’s opinion, the outcome of any such currently pending legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On March 1, 2022, a potential lender filed a motion for a default judgment against the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Proton Green, LLC ("Proton Green") seeking a $1,000,000 break-up fee related to a commitment letter for a proposed senior secured term loan facility. The parties unsuccessfully attempted to mediate the case on October 23, 2023. Discovery is complete and the parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment. All briefings are complete and the parties are awaiting the court's decision. No accrual has been recorded to the condensed consolidated financial statements because the Company is unable to conclude that an unfavorable outcome is probable. Legal fees incurred associated with loss contingencies are expensed.
The Company was served a lawsuit on May 2, 2024, in which it was named as one of several defendants in a complaint filed in the Federal District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division by Alpha Carta, Ltd. et al (the “Alpha Carta Litigation”). Alpha Carta, Ltd. (“Alpha Carta”) alleges that Proton Green breached three promissory notes (the “Notes”), a Forbearance Agreement, and a proposed unexecuted revised Forbearance Agreement with respect to payments due on the Notes and that Proton Green owes, with an aggregate balance of principal and interest, in excess of $30,000,000 (the “AC Debt”). Other claims against the defendants include conspiracy to commit fraud, rescission, and declaratory judgment, all related to the AC Debt. Proton Green asserts, in contrast, that it reached a loan settlement agreement (“Loan Settlement Agreement”) with Alpha Carta to settle the AC Debt for $8,000,000, which has been paid. Alpha Carta denies the existence of such Loan Settlement Agreement and alleges that if such Loan Settlement Agreement does exist, it was executed fraudulently.
The Company believes that the claims asserted in the Alpha Carta Litigation have no merit and intends to vigorously defend them. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these claims, and accordingly, it has not accrued any liability associated with the Alpha Carta Litigation.
There are no other material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against the Company or any members of its management team in their capacity as such requiring a contingent liability to be recognized as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.

General
Overview
Cyber App Solutions Corp. (the “Company”, “CYRB”, “we”, “us”, or “ours”) is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on February 19, 2021. Our corporate office is in Houston, Texas.
We are focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of helium and food grade carbon dioxide (CO2) and we have the capabilities for carbon capture and storage. Our assets are concentrated in the St. Johns Field located in Apache County, Arizona of the United States (the “St. Johns Field").
Market Conditions
Helium
Helium is a unique element in that it is the second most abundant in the universe, the most stable, yet rare and difficult to capture and store on the Earth, found in only a few locations spanning about twenty production fields globally. Its unique qualities make it a non-renewable and limited natural resource, highly demanded in many growing industries such as medical technology, high-tech, space exploration and national defense. Specific uses for helium include: semiconductor and fiber-optics manufacturing, cooling superconducting magnets in MRI machines, leak detection, as a purge gas and pressurizing agent in spacecraft, leak detection, airbags, deep sea diving oxygen tanks, and more.
Production of helium goes back to 1900s. Since that time, the industry has experienced four notable periods of shortage between year 2006 and today, with the helium production currently experiencing a Helium shortage 4.0 started in 2022 and driven by the increased demand from growing industries and technologies and decreased production. Decreased production is partially attributable to the US government, one of the world’s largest and most dependable suppliers of helium, selling off its national helium reserve located near the Hugoton-Panhandle field that spans across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas and sanctions imposed on Russian exports. The demand for helium is currently estimated at 5.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) and expected to increase to about 8 Bcf by 20301. The United States has been a leading producer of helium2 and currently holds roughly 40% of the global production market share, which is expected to decrease to about 30% by year 2030. The next leading producers of helium have been Russia, Algeria and Qatar.
CO2
The U.S. carbon dioxide market size was valued at $3.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4% from 2022 to 2030. The food & beverages segment led with a revenue share of 34.52% in the year 2021.3 In the U.S. beverage industry, CO2 is commonly utilized for carbonating soft drinks and beer. Additional uses for CO2 are enhanced oil recovery, dry ice production, wastewater treatment, welding, fire suppression, plant growth, food preservation, food refrigeration and freezing, and more. Characteristics of its use include creating carbonation for desired fizziness, diverse sources (industrial processes, fermentation), adherence to food-grade standards, reliance on a stable supply chain, and transportation/storage in liquid or compressed gas forms. Industry-specific details are recommended for the latest information.
CO2 for beverages can come from various sources: fermentation processes (alcoholic beverage production), industrial processes (chemical manufacturing), natural sources (natural springs), dry ice production, biogas production (anaerobic digestion), and upstream oil and gas operations (natural gas processing). Regardless of the source, CO2 must meet strict quality standards to ensure safety and taste in the final beverage product, often involving purification processes by manufacturers.
The largest single food and beverage grade CO2 supplier in the U.S. is located at Jackson Dome, Mississippi (the “Jackson Dome”). Supply was disrupted recently due to geologic contamination of the reservoir, although it has begun to come back online. Additionally,
ExxonMobil announced in a November 2, 2023 press release that it had completed the acquisition of Denbury, Inc., who was the primary operator at the Jackson Dome. Based on ExxonMobil’s July 13, 2023 press release, the acquisition allows them to serve a range of hard-to-decarbonize industries with a comprehensive carbon capture and sequestration offering, which we believe means they are focused on carbon capture and sequestration in the Jackson Dome rather than CO2 production. The curtailment of CO2 plants here and elsewhere in the country, we believe, has led and will lead to a shortage of CO2 supply to the food and beverage industry.

U.S. Department of Energy Program
In August 2023, we received notice regarding a potential financial award from the U.S. Department of Energy (“DoE”) that we, as a member of a consortium of companies, which includes us, Black & Veatch, Carbon Collect, CarbonCapture, Carbon Solutions, Arizona State University, University of New Mexico, University of Utah, Tallgrass, and the Arizona Geological Survey, had been selected to receive an approximately $11,600,000 grant for plans to develop the Southwest Regional Direct Air Capture (“DAC”) Hub to advance the design of a regional DAC hub. The program aims to expedite the deployment of a nationwide network of large-scale DAC CO2 removal sites to address legacy CO2 pollution and complement rapid emission reduction in the region. We will work alongside our consortium partners to develop a storage field development plan to securely sequester CO2 captured from the atmosphere into our St. Johns Field basin. Under the program, we expect that we will receive reimbursement for certain overhead fees incurred. The negotiations of the DoE award are ongoing and we anticipate completing negotiations during the first half of 2024.
Segment Information
We manage our business globally within one reportable segment, which is consistent with how our management reviews the business, prioritizes investment and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance.
Fair Value Measurement
Our financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of convertible promissory notes issued on November 21, 2023 (the “2023 Convertible Notes”), to each of two investors, with an aggregate principal amount of $16,000,000, with a stated interest rate of 5% per annum and default interest rate of 18% per annum and freestanding warrants issued along with the 2023 Convertible Notes. We use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) to measure the fair value of the instruments. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain of $983,433 and $0, respectively, on mark-to-market of the warrants and change in fair value of the notes payable recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
