Cyber App Solutions Corp.

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.

6


 

 

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, general and administrative expenses, debt service costs, and paydown of debt.

 

The Company’s sole helium plant in the St. Johns Field has not reached “steady state” production. CYRB has encountered significant difficulties to date at the helium plant because of mechanical issues and design limitations, resulting in inefficient operations and lower helium recovery rates, which has limited its revenues generated and led to recurring losses incurred. The Company has idled the helium plant.

 

The Company has a history of recurring losses from operations and had a working capital deficit as of June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $39,905 and $0, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $85,566 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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. The Company recorded depreciation expense on vehicles during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, of $2,605, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $5,211. The Company recorded depreciation expense on the helium plant during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $18,640 and $0, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $37,280 and $0, respectively.

As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain $1,193,188 and $185,011, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain of $2,176,621 and $185,011, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors 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 had a maturity date of July 21, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

The 2023 Convertible Notes were 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the conversion price shall not be less than 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).

10


 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Convertible Notes, the Company was to 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. As of June 30, 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 the Company’s 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 has triggered multiple Events of Default under the SPA and 2023 Convertible Notes.

 

The Events 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 the $16,000,000 outstanding principal amount, accrued interest, and $250,000 for every Event of Default that has occurred and reoccurred, 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 Floor Price. The Mandatory Premium Amount as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $22,862,667.

 

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.

 

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

11


 

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 June 30, 2024. The Company recorded $1,533,760 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 June 30, 2024.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

On April 12, 2024, the Company issued a short-term loan in the principal amount of $325,000, which resulted in net cash proceeds of $250,000. The loan had a maturity date of June 21, 2024. The Company used the net proceeds towards working capital. The principal amount of the loan and the $10,000 referral fee incurred to raise the capital was due and outstanding at June 30, 2024.

Note 8 – Derivatives

 

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, combined 7,692,308 shares of common stock. These freestanding warrants were bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. The Company used the Black-Scholes Melton pricing model to value the derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the Company’s derivative liabilities:

Because the fair value option was elected for the 2023 Convertible Notes, the initial fair value of the warrants were not presented as a discount to the face value of the 2023 Convertible Notes.

 

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was a gain of $38,914 and $185,011, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 there was a gain of $107,774 and $185,011, respectively, on mark-to-market of the bifurcated conversion options and warrants.

Note 10 – Leases

 

As of June 30, 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 June 30, 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

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's authorized capital consists of 200,000,000 and 250,000,000, respectively, shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 and zero, respectively, shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company has one class of common stock. As of June 30, 2024, no shares of preferred stock had been designated.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 328,064 shares of common stock in private placements for proceeds of $737,609.

 

In May 2024, the Board and majority shareholders of the Company approved the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2024 LTIP”) and reserved 10,000,000 shares of common stock for the 2024 LTIP.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

During the six months ended June 30, 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

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company reserved 41,191,116 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the 2023 Convertible Notes and exercise of Warrants, 10,842,453 shares of common stock for certain indemnified transfers of common stock at the stock transfer agent, and 10,000,000 shares of common stock for the Company’s 2024 LTIP.

 

 

 

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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock and debt instruments convertible into common stock. There would be 62,578,779 and 7,154,069 shares of additional common stock at June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 0%. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has U.S. net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of $5,232,695 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any costs and for the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $15,000 and $2,500, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred costs of $30,000 and $17,500, respectively, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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.

 

16


 

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.

 

Note 17 – Subsequent Events

 

Common Stock Issuances

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued 80,899 shares of common stock in private placements for proceeds of $250,000.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 8,300 shares of the Company’s 10.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 (such offering, the “Series A Preferred Stock Offering”).

 

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, cumulative dividends in-kind, at a rate of 10.000% per annum on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable annually in arrears, commencing on August 8, 2025.

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock of the Company: (a) in whole or in part, on any date at the option of the holders, (b) in full, automatically in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, resulting in gross proceeds to the Corporation of at least $40.0 million or (c) in full, automatically at the close of the first Trading Day (“Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date”) upon a Common Stock Uplisting. Trading Day means any day on which the Trading Market of our common stock is open for trading. Common Stock Uplisting means the listing for and commencement of trading of the common stock on a Trading Market. Trading Market means any of the following markets or exchanges on which our common stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex or any other National Securities Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Act) (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $4.84 (the “Conversion Price”). In the event the closing price of our common stock closes on the Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date at a price below the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the closing price of the Common Stock on the Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the forgoing or any other provision of the Certificate of Designation, the Conversion Price shall be no less than $3.02 per share.

If the Series A Preferred Stock does not convert into the Company’s common stock based on the conversion features within two (2) years from the effective date of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, which shall include accumulated in-kind dividends, at the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Proceeds were used to paydown $4,000,000 on the 2023 Convertible Notes and the remainder will be used to partially fund the equipment at our next planned CO2/helium plant and to partially fund general and administrative expenses.

 

Helium Plant Master Service Agreement and Helium Purchase Agreement (the “Agreements”)

 

The Company’s sole helium plant is in the St. Johns Field. In June 2024, the Company idled the helium plant and in July 2024 sent a termination letter to the contractor that the helium plant is leased from and operated by to cancel the Agreements. The contractor questioned the validity of the termination and proposed evaluation of strategies that may allow the Company to restart the helium plant and generate sufficient cash flows to cover the helium plant operating costs.

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 2006 and today, with helium production currently experiencing a shortage started in 2022 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 was estimated at 5.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for 2023 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,

19


 

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. We are uncertain of when negotiations will be finalized.

 

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”) and the 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain $1,193,188 and $185,011, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain of $2,176,621 and $185,011, 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.

Revenue

 

Helium revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, helium revenue was $195,954 and $0, respectively. The 100% increase in helium revenues was due to the completion and startup of our first helium plant in the St. Johns Field during the third quarter of 2023. We sold approximately 402 thousand cubic feet of helium during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to none during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion was $72,755 and $13,536, respectively. The 437% increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion primarily relates to depreciation on the gas processing plant costs in the amount of $18,640 that began production during the third quarter of 2023 and depletion expense in the amount of $39,905, which began in the third quarter of 2023 with the startup of production at our first well. Similar costs were not incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Lease and well operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, lease and well operating expenses were $49,547 and $189,333, respectively. The 74% decrease is primarily due to contractor fees of approximately $184,695 incurred to commission and startup our helium plant during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was partially offset by $34,695 of compression costs and $7,700 of lease operators fees incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Shut-in expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, shut-in expenses were a gain of $10,872 and expense of $51,673, respectively. The 121% decrease in shut-in expenses was due to the reversal of an accrual in the amount of $62,556 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 with no actuals offsetting the reversal. It was determined that we did not owe a shut-in royalty to one of our significant mineral lease owners.

 

Gathering and processing expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gathering and processing expenses were $260,143 and $0, respectively. Gathering and processing expenses are the cost incurred to operate the helium plant. The 100% increase is because we commenced production of helium during the third quarter of 2023 and were producing for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no production during the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $90,000 related to the amortization of leased equipment recorded in right-of-use assets, $111,281 for electricity to power the equipment at the plant, and $60,000 related to labor and maintenance at the helium plant.

 

21


 

Production taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, production taxes were $6,735 and $0, respectively. The 100% increase is because we commenced production of helium during the third quarter of 2023 and were producing for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no production during the same period in 2023. We expect production taxes to be approximately 3.437% of helium revenues.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were $1,177,068 and $582,972, respectively. The 102% increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is primarily due to an increase in professional fees such as legal and accounting, an increase in headcount to operate as a public company, and other costs required to operate as a public company. Note that our wholly owned subsidiary, Proton Green, LLC, was considered the accounting acquirer in our reverse asset acquisition in July 2023 resulting in Proton Green, LLC's historical financial statements being presented for the three months ended June 30 2023, which did not include increased professional fees for compliance as a public company. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $114,286 related to audit fees and accounting and legal professionals to prepare and/or review our SEC filings, $125,051 in payroll and payroll related costs due to an increase in full-time employees, $83,600 for Board of Director fees, and $65,873 in insurance primarily for adding a Directors & Officers policy. We also recorded a contingent liability in the amount of $135,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 for a pending legal matter. The remaining increase was for office supplies and equipment, travel, filing fees, and other overhead costs.

 

General and administrative expenses - related parties. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses - related parties were $15,000 and $2,500, respectively. The 500% increase, as detailed in Note 15 - Transactions with Related Parties, was primarily due to an decrease in human resource services from an immediate family member of a named executive officer.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, interest expense was $808,391 and $542,297, respectively. The 49% increase in interest expense for three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is due to an increase of $177,703 of interest on our outstanding convertible notes, primarily related to an increase in principal balance outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, $85,000 of interest incurred on our short-term loan and $3,391 of interest on our financed insurance premium.

 

Event of default fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, event of default fees were $788,320 and $1,959,785, respectively. We had outstanding convertible notes in default during both periods. The 60% decrease is due to the Company’s convertible notes outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2024 having lower default fees compared to the default fees incurred on the convertible notes outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable was $1,154,274 and $0, respectively. The Company elected the fair value option on the 2023 Convertible Notes and such notes were still outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2024. There were no notes outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2023 with the fair value option elected.

 

Unrealized gain on derivatives mark-to-market. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, unrealized gain on derivatives mark-to-market was $38,914 and $185,011, respectively. Our notes payable contained conversion features and warrants that were embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. This balance represents the change in fair value of the conversion features and warrants.

Revenue

 

Helium revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, helium revenue was $418,042 and $0, respectively. The 100% increase in helium revenues was due to the completion and startup of our first helium plant in the St. Johns Field during the third quarter of 2023. We sold approximately 861 thousand cubic feet of helium during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to none during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion was $151,094 and $26,910, respectively. The 461% increase in depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion primarily relates to depreciation on the gas processing plant costs in the amount of $37,280 that began production during the third quarter of 2023 and depletion expense in the amount of $85,566, which began in the third quarter of 2023 with the startup of production at our first well. Similar costs were not incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Lease and well operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, lease and well operating expenses were $103,440 and $202,877, respectively. The 49% decrease is primarily due to contractor fees of approximately $192,529 incurred to commission and startup our helium plant during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was partially offset by $69,389 of compression costs and $16,700 of lease operators fees incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Shut-in expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, shut-in expenses were $103,365 and $134,633, respectively. The 23% decrease in shut-in expenses was due to a significant mineral lease owner being paid a shut-in royalty in 2022 that finished amortizing in January 2023 and such shut-in royalty was not required to be paid subsequently.

 

Gathering and processing expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, gathering and processing expenses were $516,685 and $0, respectively. Gathering and processing expenses are the cost incurred to operate the helium plant. The 100% increase is because we commenced production of helium during the third quarter of 2023 and were producing for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to no production during the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $180,000 related to the amortization of leased equipment recorded in right-of-use assets, $217,824 for electricity to power the equipment at the plant, and $120,000 related to labor and maintenance at the helium plant.

 

Production taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, production taxes were $14,368 and $0, respectively. The 100% increase is because we commenced production of helium during the third quarter of 2023 and were producing for the six months ended

23


 

June 30, 2024 compared to no production during the same period in 2023. We expect production taxes to be approximately 3.437% of helium revenues.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were $2,699,875 and $1,310,749, respectively. The 106% increase in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is primarily due to an increase in professional fees such as legal and accounting, an increase in headcount to operate as a public company, and other costs required to operate as a public company. Note that our wholly owned subsidiary, Proton Green, LLC, was considered the accounting acquirer in our reverse asset acquisition in July 2023 resulting in Proton Green, LLC's historical financial statements being presented for the six months ended June 30 2023, which did not include increased professional fees for compliance as a public company. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $557,601 related to audit fees and accounting and legal professionals to prepare and/or review our SEC filings, $241,889 in payroll and payroll related costs due to an increase in full-time employees, $161,630 for Board of Director fees, and $128,411 in insurance primarily for adding a Directors & Officers policy. We also recorded a contingent liability in the amount of $135,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 for a pending legal matter. The remaining increase was for office supplies and equipment, travel, filing fees, and other overhead costs.

 

General and administrative expenses - related parties. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses - related parties were $30,000 and $37,500, respectively. The 20% decrease, as detailed in Note 15 - Transactions with Related Parties, was primarily due to a decrease of $20,000 in advisory consulting fees 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, partially offset by an increase of $12,500 in human resource services from an immediate family member of a named executive officer.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, interest expense was $1,531,782 and $1,078,634, respectively. The 42% increase in interest expense for three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is due to an increase of $361,366 of interest on our outstanding convertible notes, primarily related to an increase in principal balance outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, $85,000 of interest incurred on our short-term loan and $6,782 of interest on our financed insurance premium.

 

Event of default fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, event of default fees were $1,533,760 and $3,887,724, respectively. We had outstanding convertible notes in default during both periods. The 61% decrease is due to the Company’s convertible notes outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024 having lower default fees compared to the default fees incurred on the convertible notes outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, unrealized gain on fair value of notes payable was $2,068,847 and $0, respectively. The Company elected the fair value option on the 2023 Convertible Notes and such notes were still outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no notes outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2023 with the fair value option elected.

 

Unrealized gain on derivatives mark-to-market. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, unrealized gain on derivatives mark-to-market was $107,774 and $185,011, respectively. Our notes payable contained conversion features and warrants that were embedded derivatives that required bifurcation. This balance represents the change in fair value of the conversion features and warrants.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes have been accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the State of Arizona. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a full valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets, including our NOLs. The factors assumed to make the full valuation allowance includes that we have disclosed in Note 3 – Liquidity that we have significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and we have a history of pretax operating losses.

 

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, and Contingencies

 

Helium Recovery Unit. On January 3, 2022, we entered into a Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) with a contractor for the contractor to provide certain helium removal and purification services at the plant in the St. Johns Field. The service consist of processing our feed gas using the contractor’s pressure swing absorption process and equipment to be operated by the contractor. It is a five-year lease that commenced on April 1, 2023. The fee is $50,000 per month for the service and increases to $70,000 per month if or when we have the contractors add more equipment to increase the capacity of gas the plant can process. We attributed $30,000 per month to the rental of equipment and accounted for it as an operating lease under ASC 842 and recorded it to the balance sheet.

 

24


 

Houston Office Lease. On September 30, 2022, we amended the lease for our corporate office in Houston, Texas. The commencement date of the amendment was October 15, 2022 and the lease expiration date was October 31, 2025. On October 25, 2023, we entered into a second amendment on the lease for our corporate office in Houston, Texas to expand the amount of square feet leased. The commencement date for the expansion is January 1, 2024 and the expiration date will be extended to January 31, 2027. We accounted for this lease under ASC 842 as an operating lease that’s been recorded to the balance sheet. The lease payments escalate annually. We have co-tenants with the expansion. This amended lease will result in a straight-line amortization of approximately $3,762 per month in “General and administrative expenses” over the life of the contract.

 

Legal. On March 1, 2022, a potential lender filed a motion for a default judgment against our 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 we are unable to conclude that an unfavorable outcome is probable.

 

We were served a lawsuit on May 2, 2024, in which we were 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. We assert, in contrast, that we 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.

 

We believe that the claims asserted in the Alpha Carta Litigation have no merit and intends to vigorously defend them. We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with these claims, and accordingly, we have not accrued any liability associated with the Alpha Carta Litigation.

 

Company assets. As of June 30, 2024, all of the assets of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the 2023 Convertible Notes.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception, we have generated significant losses. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $48,346,217. We have only generated limited revenue to date. Our primary sources of capital have been through proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity. The primary uses of capital to date has been for the acquisition of our mineral leases in the St. Johns Field, which gave us operating control over approximately 170,000 acres in Apache County, Arizona, development of the St. Johns Field, paying debt service costs, start-up and operating costs in the St. Johns Field, helium plant installation and funding corporate overhead.

We define working capital as current assets less current liabilities. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $26,893,178 and $23,739,229, respectively. The deficits were primarily due to the amounts outstanding under our notes, as they are classified as current liabilities, and the fair value of outstanding warrants.

As of August 16, 2024, we had cash on hand of $3,221,304. Our material liquidity needs over the next twelve months consist of the following:

 

On November 21, 2023, we issued the 2023 Convertible Notes to each of two investors, with an aggregate principal amount of $16,000,000, with interest at a rate of 5% per annum due monthly and monthly repayments of $1,500,000 starting from January 21, 2024 and remaining outstanding balance due on July 21, 2024. See Note 8 – Debt, for more details. We have not made interest and principal payments and are in default on the convertible promissory notes. The default increased the interest rate to 18% per annum. As of June 30, 2024, we owed $22,862,667 on the 2023 Convertibles Notes, including principal, interest, and default fees. We believe we can negotiate a settlement of the 2023 Convertible Notes at an amount less than owed.
Funding outstanding accounts payable balances and corporate overhead, which we expect to be approximately $5.5 million to $6.5 million.
Our sole helium plant in the St. Johns Field has not reached “steady state” production. We have encountered significant difficulties to date at the helium plant because of mechanical issues and design limitations, resulting in inefficient operations and lower helium recovery rates, which has limited our revenues generated and led to recurring losses incurred. In June 2024, we idled the helium plant and in July 2024 sent a termination letter to the contractor that the helium plant is leased

25


 

from and operated by to cancel the Master Service Agreement and Helium Purchase Agreement we have with the contractor. The contractor questioned the validity of the termination and proposed evaluation of strategies that may allow us to restart the helium plant and generate sufficient cash flows to cover the helium plant operating costs. Way may continue to incur costs of $50,000 per month through April 2028 for leased equipment. More details on the leased equipment are below in the Helium Recovery Unit section of Contractual Obligations and Commitments. In addition, we anticipate shut-in royalties would be approximately $250,000.

 

On August 8, 2024, we entered into that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 8,300 shares of the Company’s 10.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 (such offering, the “Series A Preferred Stock Offering”). Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, cumulative dividends in-kind, at a rate of 10.000% per annum on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable annually in arrears, commencing on August 8, 2025. If the Series A Preferred Stock does not convert into our common stock based on the conversion features within two (2) years from the effective date of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, which shall include accumulated in-kind dividends, at the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock. Proceeds were used to paydown $4,000,000 on our convertible promissory notes and the remainder will be used to partially fund the equipment at our next planned CO2/helium plant and to partially fund general and administrative expenses.

 

We plan to issue additional shares of our Series A Preferred Stock under the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. 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. 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 included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Our plan is to focus on plant designs that will allow us to continue developing our helium reserves while also developing our CO2 reserves. We have front-end engineering design studies underway for our plants. We expect that our next significant capital outlay will be to install a plant at the St. Johns Field that is capable of producing 100 thousand cubic feet per day of helium and 1,000 tons per day of liquid CO2. Our estimate of the cost for the plant design, equipment, construction and drilling wells is approximately $28,000,000 to $30,000,000. Thereafter, we plan to continue adding plants of similar design and drilling wells needed to meet the plant capacity.

We are currently evaluating debt and equity financing strategies that we believe will provide sufficient capital to fund the selected plant design and begin drilling new wells as needed. We believe the cash flows generated from the new plant design will be more than sufficient to address any debt service costs we would incur from debt financing strategies and fund any additional capital needed to drill new wells. Helium and CO2 production levels that we believe we are capable of achieving as a result of these capital expenditures will position us as a top tier producer of helium and liquid CO2, thereby giving us considerable bargaining power when negotiating off-take and transportation agreements. If we are unable to execute any of our debt and financing strategies or one on acceptable terms, we may not be able to finance the capital expenditures necessary to develop our helium and CO2 resources. Because we are the operator of all of our acreage, the timing and level of our capital spending is largely discretionary and within our control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had no off-balance arrangements or other such unrecorded obligations and we have not guaranteed any debt of any unrelated party.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a discussion, which is incorporated herein by reference, of the accounting estimates that we believe are critical to the reporting of our financial position and operating results and that require management's judgment. Our more significant policies and estimates include:

 

Full cost method of accounting for helium and CO2 properties
Impairment of helium and CO2 properties
Depreciation, depletion and amortization for helium and CO2 properties
Helium reserve quantities
Asset retirement obligations
Derivative financial instruments
Fair value option

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. As of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a material weaknesses identified during the year ended December 31, 2023 that we are in the process of remediating. The material weaknesses related to the lack of completeness over the population of leases for ASC 842 booking and disclosures, lack of communication and retention of legal documents and lack of review and management oversight, which led to the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles and ineffective controls over the financial statement close and reporting processes.

 

We are recruiting additional finance and accounting personnel and we will continue to evaluate our personnel in all key finance and accounting positions to see if additional finance and accounting personnel are required.

 

We are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act while we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

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.

 

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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” which risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Such risks are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and future results or enhance the adverse impact of the risks known to us.

[1] The Company entered into various Subscription Agreements with Investors for the issuance of an aggregate of 258,876 shares of Common Stock at a price $3.09 per share, par value $0.001. The Company used the net proceeds from the funds received to fund its helium and CO2 operations and for other customary general corporate purposes. The Investors will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Common Stock, or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of such securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and all applicable state securities laws or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

These securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since they agreed to, and received, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.”

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

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).

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 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 (the “Resale Registration Statement”). 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 increasing

29


 

from 5.0% to 18.0%; (ii) a mandatory premium amount of $250,000 for every event of default that has occurred; (iii) a $240,000 payment for failure to file the Resale Registration Statement by January 5, 2024 (“Registration Delay Payments”) and on every 30-day anniversary of failure to file the Resale Registration Statement; (iv) the Registration Delay Payments bear interest at a rate of 2% per month until paid in full; and (v) the conversion price of the notes were no longer subjected to a floor price.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company owed $22,862,667 to the Holders, which includes principal, interest, and default fees.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

 

Trading Plans/Arrangements. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, no director or Section 16 officer of Cyber App Solutions Corp. adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (in each case, as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K).

 

On May 14, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Cyber App Solutions Corp. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to Article II of the Company's Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide that the Company may hold an annual meeting of shareholders on a date and time determined by the Board. The amendment became effective as of May 14, 2024. The amended Bylaws of the Company are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.

On June 24, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation pursuant to which the company’s capital stock was amended to include 200 million authorized shares of common stock and 50 million authorized shares of preferred stock. The certificate of amendment of the articles of incorporation of the Company are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

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.

Liquidity

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, general and administrative expenses, debt service costs, and paydown of debt.

 

The Company’s sole helium plant in the St. Johns Field has not reached “steady state” production. CYRB has encountered significant difficulties to date at the helium plant because of mechanical issues and design limitations, resulting in inefficient operations and lower helium recovery rates, which has limited its revenues generated and led to recurring losses incurred. The Company has idled the helium plant.

 

The Company has a history of recurring losses from operations and had a working capital deficit as of June 30, 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 June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, all of the Company's revenue was 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $39,905 and $0, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $85,566 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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. The Company recorded depreciation expense on vehicles during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, of $2,605, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $5,211. The Company recorded depreciation expense on the helium plant during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $18,640 and $0, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $37,280 and $0, respectively.

As of June 30, 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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain $1,193,188 and $185,011, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there was an unrealized gain of $2,176,621 and $185,011, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors 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 had a maturity date of July 21, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”).

The 2023 Convertible Notes were 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the conversion price shall not be less than 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).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2023 Convertible Notes, the Company was to 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. As of June 30, 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 the Company’s 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 has triggered multiple Events of Default under the SPA and 2023 Convertible Notes.

 

The Events 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 the $16,000,000 outstanding principal amount, accrued interest, and $250,000 for every Event of Default that has occurred and reoccurred, 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 Floor Price. The Mandatory Premium Amount as of June 30, 2024 was approximately $22,862,667.

 

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.

 

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 June 30, 2024. The Company recorded $1,533,760 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 June 30, 2024.

 

Short-term Borrowings

 

On April 12, 2024, the Company issued a short-term loan in the principal amount of $325,000, which resulted in net cash proceeds of $250,000. The loan had a maturity date of June 21, 2024. The Company used the net proceeds towards working capital. The principal amount of the loan and the $10,000 referral fee incurred to raise the capital was due and outstanding at June 30, 2024.

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 June 30, 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 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.

Net Loss Per Share

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 and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock and debt instruments convertible into common stock. There would be 62,578,779 and 7,154,069 shares of additional common stock at June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the possible exercise of outstanding warrants and conversion of the debt instruments.

Income Taxes

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 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 0%. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has U.S. net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards of $5,232,695 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 June 30, 2024, the Company has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.

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.

Common Stock Issuances

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued 80,899 shares of common stock in private placements for proceeds of $250,000.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 8,300 shares of the Company’s 10.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $8,000,000 (such offering, the “Series A Preferred Stock Offering”).

 

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, cumulative dividends in-kind, at a rate of 10.000% per annum on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable annually in arrears, commencing on August 8, 2025.

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock of the Company: (a) in whole or in part, on any date at the option of the holders, (b) in full, automatically in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, resulting in gross proceeds to the Corporation of at least $40.0 million or (c) in full, automatically at the close of the first Trading Day (“Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date”) upon a Common Stock Uplisting. Trading Day means any day on which the Trading Market of our common stock is open for trading. Common Stock Uplisting means the listing for and commencement of trading of the common stock on a Trading Market. Trading Market means any of the following markets or exchanges on which our common stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex or any other National Securities Exchange (as defined in the Exchange Act) (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

 

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $4.84 (the “Conversion Price”). In the event the closing price of our common stock closes on the Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date at a price below the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the closing price of the Common Stock on the Common Stock Uplisting Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the forgoing or any other provision of the Certificate of Designation, the Conversion Price shall be no less than $3.02 per share.

If the Series A Preferred Stock does not convert into the Company’s common stock based on the conversion features within two (2) years from the effective date of the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, which shall include accumulated in-kind dividends, at the $1,000 liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Proceeds were used to paydown $4,000,000 on the 2023 Convertible Notes and the remainder will be used to partially fund the equipment at our next planned CO2/helium plant and to partially fund general and administrative expenses.

 

Helium Plant Master Service Agreement and Helium Purchase Agreement (the “Agreements”)

 

The Company’s sole helium plant is in the St. Johns Field. In June 2024, the Company idled the helium plant and in July 2024 sent a termination letter to the contractor that the helium plant is leased from and operated by to cancel the Agreements. The contractor questioned the validity of the termination and proposed evaluation of strategies that may allow the Company to restart the helium plant and generate sufficient cash flows to cover the helium plant operating costs.

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.

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

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.
