Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

American Noble Gas, Inc., formerly Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., has prepared the accompanying condensed financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of 2022 due to various factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.

 

Name change

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 13, 2021 the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, changing the Company’s name from Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. to American Noble Gas Inc. “AMGAS,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refers collectively to American Noble Gas Inc, (formerly Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.), its predecessors and subsidiaries or one or more of them as the context may require.

 

Reincorporation in Nevada

 

On December 7, 2021, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, American Noble Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation, merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, American Noble Gas Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AMGAS-Nevada” and/or the “Company”) with AMGAS-Nevada continuing as the surviving corporation. In conjunction with the merger, AMGAS-Nevada succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the predecessor Delaware Corporation existing immediately prior to the merger. The merger was consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger on December 7, 2021 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Agreement and Plan of Merger and transactions contemplated thereby were adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the predecessor company’s common stock, par value, $0.0001 per share and/or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, on an as-converted common stock basis, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, (i) each outstanding share of predecessor’s common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMGAS-Nevada, (ii) each outstanding share of the predecessor’s series A convertible preferred stock automatically converted into one share of series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share of AMGAS-Nevada, and (iii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of predecessor common stock converted into an option, right or warrant to acquire an equal number of shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants.

 

Similar to the shares of predecessor common stock prior to the merger, the shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock are quoted on the OTCQB tier operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “IFNY”. In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each outstanding certificate previously representing shares of the predecessor’s common stock or series A preferred stock automatically represents, without any action of the predecessor’s stockholders, the same number of shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock or series A preferred stock, as applicable.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the directors and officers of the predecessor company immediately prior to the merger became the directors and officers of AMGAS-Nevada and continued their respective directorship or services with the Company on the same terms as their respective directorship or service with the predecessor registrant immediately prior to the merger.

 

As a result of the merger, the internal affairs of the Company ceased to be subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law or governed by the predecessor’s Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and its bylaws. As of the December 7, 2021 merger date, the Company is now subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes and is governed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as filed in the State of Nevada and the Company’s Bylaws.

 

Quotation of Common Stock on OTCQB

 

Effective July 13, 2021, the Company’s Common Stock was approved for quotation on the OTCQB® Venture Market under the symbol “IFNY.”

Nature of Operations

 

Since 2009, we had planned to pursue the exploration of potential oil and gas resources in the United States and in the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea (the “Nicaraguan Concessions” or “Concessions”), which contain a total of approximately 1.4 million acres. Civil unrest within Nicaragua and difficulties encountered with negotiations on extensions and the issuance of permits to drill with the Nicaraguan government made the exploration and development of the underlying concessions problematic. In addition, the Company was in technical default of the certain terms of the Nicaraguan Concession and the Nicaraguan government terminated both of the underlying Concessions. As a result, the Company abandoned all of its efforts to explore and develop the Nicaraguan Concessions effective January 1, 2020.

 

We sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. (“Infinity Texas”) in 2012 and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil and Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (“Infinity Wyoming”), was administratively dissolved in 2009.

 

Subsequent to the termination of the Nicaraguan Concessions, we began assessing various opportunities and strategic alternatives involving the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas oil producing properties in the United States, including the possibility of acquiring businesses or assets that provide support services for the production of oil and gas in the United States.

 

As a result, we are now involved with the following oil and gas producing properties:

 

Central Kansas Uplift - On April 1, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties, for a purchase price of $900,000. The Central Kansas Uplift Properties include the production and mineral rights/leasehold for oil and gas properties, subject to overriding royalties to third parties, in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation covering over 11,000 contiguous acres (the “Properties”). The purchase of the Properties included the existing production equipment, infrastructure and ownership of 11 square miles of existing 3-D seismic data on the acreage. The Properties include a horizontal producing well, horizontal saltwater injection well, conventional saltwater disposal well and two conventional vertical producing wells, which currently produce from the Reagan Sand Zone with an approximate depth of 3,600 feet.

 

We commenced rework of the existing production wells after completion of the acquisition of the Properties and have performed testing and evaluation of the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the Properties’ existing oil and gas reserves while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

 

Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% participation in a Farmout Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC as the Farmee and Scout Energy Partners as Farmor with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. AMGAS has joined three other parties to explore for and develop potential oil, natural gas, noble gases and brine minerals on the properties underlying the Farmout Agreement (collectively the “Hugoton JV”).

 

The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells, with the first exploratory well spudded on April 28, 2022. The Hugoton JV will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. The Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton JV with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, which will enable the Hugoton JV to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices.

 

The Hugoton JV also acquired the right to all brine minerals subject to a ten percent (10%) royalty to Scout, across Finney and Haskell Counties. Brine minerals are harvested from the formation water produced from active, and to be drilled, oil and gas wells and may include a variety of dissolved minerals including bromine and iodine. The Hugoton JV plans to target brine minerals with commercial quantities of bromine and iodine. AMGAS through the Hugoton JV is currently developing proprietary technology to recover brine minerals, particularly with respect to bromine, which is well underway and has demonstrated recovery efficiency and is expected to be available for use in existing and future development wells.

The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The Hugoton JV believes that its unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

 

Investment in GMDOC, LLC - On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 17 (or 60.7143%) of 28 limited liability membership interests (the “Interests”) in GMDOC, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“GMDOC”), for an aggregate purchase price of $4,037,500, and was subsequently admitted as a member of GMDOC.

 

With respect to its cash capital contribution, the Company paid a non-refundable cash deposit for the membership interests in the amount of $50,000 on May 3, 2022. The Company paid the remainder of the cash contribution for the membership interests, or $800,000, on May 16, 2022. The remainder of the Company’s capital contribution, or $3,187,500, was financed by the Bank Loan (as defined below).

 

GMDOC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests (the “Acquisition”) in certain oil and gas leases (the “GMDOC Leases”) from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC Leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis.

 

GMDOC is managed by two members: Darrah Oil Company, LLC, and Grand Mesa Operating Company, (collectively the “Managing Members”), which also serve as the operating companies under the GMDOC Leases.

 

COVID–19 Pandemic

 

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the description of our business contained herein, unless otherwise indicated, principally reflect the status of our business and the results of our operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Economies throughout the world continue to suffer disruptions by the effects of the quarantines, business closures and the reluctance of individuals to leave their homes as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including the recent rise of the new Omicron variant. In particular, the oil and gas market has been severely impacted by the negative effects of COVID 19 because of the substantial and abrupt decrease in the demand for oil and gas globally followed by the recent resurgence in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, the capital markets have experienced periods of disruption and our efforts to raise necessary capital in the future may be adversely impacted by the pandemic and investor sentiment and we cannot forecast with any certainty when the lingering uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will cease to impact our business and the results of our operations. In reading this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our discussion of our ability to continue as a going concern set forth herein, in each case, consider the additional uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses from operations, has a net stockholders’ deficit, incurred net cash used in operating activities and has a significant working capital deficit as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company must raise substantial amounts of debt and equity capital from other sources in the future in order to fund (i) the development of the Properties acquired on April 1, 2021; (ii) our obligations for exploration and development under the Hugoton Farmout Agreement (see Note 2); (iii) normal day-to-day operations and corporate overhead; and (iv) outstanding debt and other financial obligations as they become due, as described below. These are substantial operational and financial issues that must be successfully addressed during 2022 and beyond.

 

9
 

 

The Company has made substantial progress in resolving many of its existing financial obligations and acquiring oil and gas producing properties to deploy its new operational strategy during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company will have significant financial commitments to execute its planned exploration and development of the Properties and the Hugoton Gas Field. The Company may find it necessary to raise substantial amounts of debt or equity capital to fund such exploration and development activities and may seek offers from industry operators and other third parties for interests in the Properties in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or other joint venture arrangement. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such new funding or be able to reach agreements with industry operators and other third parties or on what terms.

 

Due to the uncertainties related to the foregoing matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financials are issued. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and the series of related accounting standard updates that followed, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Adoption of the ASU did not require an adjustment to the opening balance of equity and did not change the Company’s amount and timing of revenues.

 

The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from its interests in the sale of oil and natural gas production. To date, such revenues have only included the sale of oil however the Company expects to begin generating revenues from the sale of natural gas and noble gases in the future. The Company recognizes revenue from its interests in the sales of oil and gas in the period that its performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of product, when the Company has no further obligations to perform related to the sale, when the transaction price has been determined and when collectability is probable. The sales of oil and gas are made under contracts which the third-party operators of the wells have negotiated with customers, which typically include variable consideration that is based on pricing tied to local indices and volumes delivered in the current month. The Company receives payment from the sale of oil and gas production from one to three months after delivery. At the end of each month when the performance obligation is satisfied, the variable consideration can be reasonably estimated and amounts due from customers are accrued in trade receivables, net in the balance sheets. Variances between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payments are recorded in the month the payment is received, however, differences have been and are insignificant. The Company’s oil is typically sold at delivery points under contracts terms that are common in our industry.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which is intended to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.

 

10
 

 

The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

 

The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2021 and has applied its effects to the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes issued on March 31, 2021 and the 8% Convertible Promissory Note issued on August 30, 2021 (See Note 4). The Company elected to adopt ASU 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method which enables entities to apply the transition requirements in this ASU at the effective date of ASU 2020-06 (rather than as of the earliest comparative period presented) with the effect of initially adopting ASU 2020-06 recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on the first day of the period adopted. Therefore, this transition method applies the amendments in ASU 2020-06 to outstanding financial instruments as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (January 1, 2021), with the cumulative effect of the change recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the date of adoption. In accordance with the modified retrospective method, no adjustment was made to the comparative-period information including earnings (loss) per share.

 

The Company applied ASU-2020-06 to all outstanding financial instruments as of January 1, 2021, (the date of adoption of ASU 2020-06). The convertible notes payable issued on August 19, 2020 was the only outstanding financial instrument effected by this new accounting standard as of January 1, 2021. Therefore the application of ASU-2020-06 to this convertible note payable was used to determine the cumulative effect of the adoption of the new accounting standard. The cumulative effect of the adoption of the new accounting standard was determined and recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of convertible notes payable as of January 1, 2021 by $160,900, a decrease to additional paid in capital of $252,961 and a decrease to accumulated deficit of $92,061. See Note 4.

 

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company applied the existing accounting standards for derivatives and hedging and for distinguishing liabilities from equity when accounting for hybrid contracts that feature conversion options. The accounting standards require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria includes circumstances in which (i) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (ii) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (iii) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. The derivative is subsequently marked to market at each reporting date based on current fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in results of operations.

 

Conversion options that contain variable settlement features such as provisions to adjust the conversion price upon subsequent issuances of equity or equity linked securities at exercise prices more favorable than that featured in the hybrid contract generally result in their bifurcation from the host instrument.

 

Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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.

 

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and gas reserves; depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and gas properties; future cash flows from oil and gas properties; impairment of long-lived assets; fair value of derivatives; asset retirement obligations, our control over equity method investments, fair value of equity compensation; warrants issued in connection with convertible debt; the realization of deferred tax assets; fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.

Oil and gas properties

 

Central Kansas Uplift Properties - On April 1, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the Properties, under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement which provided a purchase price of $900,000. The purchase of the Properties included the existing production equipment, infrastructure and ownership of 11 square miles of existing 3-D seismic data on the acreage. The Properties include a horizontal producing well, horizontal saltwater injection well, conventional saltwater disposal well and two conventional vertical producing wells, which currently produce from the Reagan Sand Zone with an approximate depth of 3,600 feet.

 

The Company has performed workovers of the wells subsequent to the Properties purchase which was necessary to put the lease back into production status. Therefore, these tangible and intangible workover costs were expensed as lease operating expenses rather than capitalized in the full cost pool through June 30, 2022. In addition, the Company is currently evaluating the Properties for oil and gas reserves and specifically the potential for noble gas reserves such as helium, argon and krypton. Based on these evaluations, the Company may redirect its efforts to the production of noble gases rather than crude oil on the Properties. These noble gas evaluation costs have also been expensed as lease operating costs through June 30, 2022.

 

Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out -The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

 

The accounting for, and disclosure of, oil and gas producing activities require that we choose between two GAAP alternatives: the full cost method or the successful efforts method. We adopted and use the full cost method of accounting, which involves capitalizing all exploration, exploitation, development and acquisition costs. Once we incur costs, they are recorded in the depletable pool of proved properties or in unproved properties, collectively, the full cost pool. Our unproved property costs, which include unproved oil and gas properties, properties under development, and major development projects, were zero through June 30, 2022, and are not subject to depletion. We review our unproved oil and gas property costs on a quarterly basis to assess for impairment and transfer unproved costs to proved properties as a result of extensions or discoveries from drilling operations or determination that no proved reserves are attributable to such costs. We expect these costs to be evaluated in one to seven years and transferred to the depletable portion of the full cost pool during that time. The full cost pool is comprised of intangible drilling costs, lease and well equipment and exploration and development costs incurred plus acquired proved and unproved leaseholds.

 

When we acquire significant amounts of undeveloped acreage, we capitalize interest on the acquisition costs in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 835-20 for Capitalization of Interest. We capitalize interest upon identification and development of shale resource opportunities in the Haynesville and Marcellus areas. When the unproved property costs are moved to proved developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties, or the properties are sold, we cease capitalizing interest.

 

Capitalized costs to acquire oil and natural gas properties are depreciated and depleted on a units-of-production basis based on estimated proved reserves. Capitalized costs of exploratory wells and development costs are depreciated and depleted on a units-of-production basis based on estimated proved developed reserves. Under this method, the sum of the full cost pool, excluding the book value of unproved properties, and all estimated future development costs are divided by the total estimated quantities of proved reserves. This rate is applied to our total production for the quarter, and the appropriate expense is recorded. Support equipment and other property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas producing activities, as well as property, plant and equipment unrelated to oil and gas producing activities, are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

12
 

 

Sales, dispositions and other oil and gas property retirements are accounted for as adjustments to the full cost pool, with no recognition of gain or loss, unless the disposition would significantly alter the amortization rate and/or the relationship between capitalized costs and Proved Reserves.

 

Pursuant to Rule 4-10(c)(4) of Regulation S-X, at the end of each quarterly period, companies that use the full cost method of accounting for their oil and gas properties must compute a limitation on capitalized costs, or ceiling test. The ceiling test involves comparing the net book value of the full cost pool, after taxes, to the full cost ceiling limitation defined below. In the event the full cost ceiling is less than the full cost pool, we must record a ceiling test write-down of our oil and gas properties to the value of the full cost ceiling. The full cost ceiling limitation is computed as the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from our proved reserves by applying average prices as prescribed by the SEC Release No. 33-8995, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to develop and produce the proved reserves, discounted at 10%, plus the cost of properties not being amortized and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, net of income tax effects.

 

The ceiling test is computed using the simple average spot price for the trailing twelve-month period using the first day of each month. The trailing twelve-month reference price was $67.99 per barrel for the West Texas Intermediate oil at Cushing, Oklahoma through December 31, 2021. This reference price for oil is further adjusted for quality factors and regional differentials to derive estimated future net revenues. Under full cost accounting rules, any ceiling test write-downs of oil and gas properties may not be reversed in subsequent periods. There were no ceiling test write-downs through June 30, 2022.

 

The ceiling test calculation is based upon estimates of proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves, in projecting the future rates of production and in the timing of development activities. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.

 

Equity Method Investments

 

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of these investees is included in our Condensed Statements of Operations. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intra-entity transactions.

 

The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. Factors considered by the Company when reviewing an equity method investment for impairment include the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of the equity method investment has been less than cost, the investee’s financial condition and near-term prospects and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery. An impairment that is other-than temporary is recognized in the period identified.

 

The Company accounts for distributions received from equity method investees under the “nature of the distribution” approach. Under this approach, distributions received from equity method investees are classified on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities of the investee that generated the distribution as either a return on investment (classified as cash inflows from operating activities) or a return of investment (classified as cash inflows from investing activities).

Issuance of Debt Instruments With Detachable Stock Purchase Warrants

 

Proceeds from the issuance of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants are recorded as additional paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. Such issuances generally result in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium) relative to the debt instrument, which is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company records estimated future asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of ASC 410. ASC 410 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement liability is required to be accreted each period. The Company’s asset retirement obligations consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties.

 

During April 2021, the Company acquired the Kansas Properties and assumed the related asset retirement obligation existing at the date of acquisition. The asset retirement obligation assumed for the Kansas Properties relates to the plug and abandonment costs when the wells acquired are no longer useful. The Company determined the value of the liability by obtaining quotes for this service and estimated the increased costs that the Company will face in the future. We then discounted the future value based on an intrinsic interest rate that is appropriate for us. If costs rise more than what we have expected there could be additional charges in the future; however, we monitor the costs of the abandoned wells and we will adjust this liability if necessary.

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had divested all of its domestic oil properties that contained operating and abandoned wells in Texas, Colorado and Wyoming. The Company may have obligations related to the divestiture of certain abandoned non-producing domestic leasehold properties should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner. Management believes the Company has been relieved from asset retirement obligation related to Infinity-Texas because of the sale of its Texas oil and gas properties in 2011 and its sale of 100% of the stock in Infinity-Texas in 2012. The Company has recognized an additional liability of $734,897 related to its former Texas oil and gas producing properties (included in asset retirement obligations) to recognize the potential personal liability of the Company and its officers for the Infinity-Texas oil and gas properties should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner. In addition, management believes the Company has been relieved from asset retirement obligations related to Infinity-Wyoming because of the sale of its Wyoming and Colorado oil and gas properties in 2008; however, the Company has recognized since 2012 an additional liability of $981,106 related to its former Wyoming and Colorado oil and gas producing properties (included in asset retirement obligations) to recognize the potential liability of the Company and its officers should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company applies ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments based on the estimated fair value of the awards. ASC 718 also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements to be presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows. Compensation cost is recognized based on the grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted and is estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the periods presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares, warrants and stock options were converted or exercised or excluded from the calculations if their inclusion would be antidilutive. Dilution is computed by applying the if-converted/treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase shares of Common Stock at the average market price during the period. The Company has outstanding convertible promissory notes payable and Convertible Preferred Stock both of which is potentially dilutive. Such potential dilutive effect is included in diluted earnings (loss) per share at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) if they have a dilutive effect or such potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculations if their inclusion would be antidilutive.

 

14
 

 

The adoption of ASU 2020-06 requires the Company to assume share settlement when an instrument can be settled in cash or shares at the entity’s option. This applies both to convertible instruments and freestanding arrangements that could result in cash or share settlement. ASU 2020-06 also stipulates that an average market price for the period should be used in the computation of the diluted earnings (loss) per share denominator in cases when the exercise price of an instrument may change based on an entity’s share price or changes in the entity’s share price may affect the number of shares that would be used to settle a financial instrument. Lastly, an entity should use the weighted-average share count from each quarter when calculating the year-to-date weighted average share count for all potentially dilutive securities.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had outstanding the following securities that were potentially dilutive: 1) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 2) various Convertible Notes Payable, 3) Warrants to purchase common stock, and 4) options to purchase common stock. All potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 as all were considered anti-dilutive because of the net loss reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities / Troubled Debt Restructuring:

 

In accordance with ASC 470, the Company assesses restructuring of debt as troubled debt restructuring if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties grant a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Company records a gain on restructuring of payables when it transfers its assets to a creditor to fully settle a payable. The gain is measured by the excess of the carrying amount of the payable over the fair value of the assets transferred or fair value of equity interest granted.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Income Taxes - In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The ASU also improves consistent application of and simplifies generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted including adoption in any interim period for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. On January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed financial statements.

 

Debt with Conversion and Other Options - In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06: Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and modifies the disclosure requirement for the convertible instruments. Additionally, this ASU improves the consistency of EPS calculations by eliminating the use of the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS for convertible instruments and clarifies certain areas under the current EPS guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of the fiscal year after December 15, 2020. On January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with the impact of adoption discussed in Note 1 - Convertible Instruments on our condensed financial statements.

 

15
 

 

Business Combinations - In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08 Business Combinations (“Topic 805”): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. Under the current business combinations guidance, such assets and liabilities were recognized by the acquirer at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our condensed financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Note 2 – Oil and Gas Properties and Equipment

 

Oil and gas properties and equipment is comprised of the following at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

   June 30, 2022   December 31,2021 
Oil and gas production equipment  $913,425   $913,425 
Proven developed and undeveloped oil and gas properties   15,224     
Hugoton Gas Field participation agreement initial well drilling and
completion costs subject to adjustment to actual costs – well not yet placed in service
   314,753     
           
Subtotal   1,243,402    913,425 
Less: Accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization   (154,170)   (92,502)
Oil and gas properties and equipment, net  $1,089,232   $820,923 

 

Great Bend Properties - On April 1, 2021, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of certain oil and gas properties and interests from Core Energy, LLC (“Core”), effective as of January 1, 2021 (the “Great Bend Properties Acquisition”). On December 14, 2020, the Company entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with Core Energy, as well as all of the members of Core, Mandalay LLC and Coal Creek Energy, LLC, to purchase certain oil and gas properties in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation, covering over 11,000 contiguous acres, including, among other things, the production and mineral rights to and a leasehold interest in the Oil and Gas Properties and all contracts, agreements and instruments. The Agreement provided for an aggregate purchase price consisting of $900,000 in cash at closing.

 

The following represents the purchase price allocation for the Great Bend Properties Acquisition for $900,000 in cash. The Great Bend Properties Acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition. As such, AMGAS recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of April 1, 2021, the date of closing. The fair value of the Oil and Gas Properties acquired approximate the value of the consideration paid, and the asset retirement obligation to be assumed, which management has concluded approximates the fair value that would be paid by a typical market participant. As a result, neither goodwill nor a bargain purchase gain will be recognized related to the acquisition.

 

The Company determined the amount of the asset retirement obligation assumed to be $13,425 as of the date of acquisition. The obligation relates to legal requirements associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisitions, construction, development, or normal use of the asset. The obligation relates primarily to the requirement to plug and abandon oil and natural gas wells and support wells at the conclusion of their useful lives.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed related to the Oil and Gas Properties:

 

   Amount 
Oil and gas properties, subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization  $913,425 
Asset retirement obligation assumed   (13,425)
Total purchase price of the Oil and Gas Properties  $900,000

Hugoton Gas Field Participation Agreement - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% participation in a Farmout Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC as the Farmee and Scout Energy Partners as Farmor with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. AMGAS has joined three other parties to explore for and develop potential oil, natural gas, noble gases and brine minerals on the properties underlying the Farmout Agreement (collectively the “Hugoton JV”) .

 

The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells, with the first exploratory well spudded on April 28, 2022. The Hugoton JV will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. The Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton JV with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, which will enable the Hugoton JV to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices.

 

The Hugoton JV also acquired the right to all brine minerals subject to a ten percent (10%) royalty to Scout, across Finney and Haskell Counties. Brine minerals are harvested from the formation water produced from active, and to be drilled, oil and gas wells and may include a variety of dissolved minerals including bromine and iodine.

 

The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The Hugoton JV believes that its unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

 

AMGAS has paid a total of $314,753 for its participation in the drilling and completion of the initial exploratory well. Such amount was an estimate and will be adjusted to actual drilling and completion cost expenditures when the well is connected to the pipeline and the production of gas commences.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee, GMDOC, LLC. Management’s judgment regarding its level of influence over the operations of GMDOC, LLC included considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, its’ lack of participation in policy-making decisions and its’ lack of control over the day-to-day operations of GMDOC, LLC.

 

On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 17 (or 60.7143%) of 28 limited liability membership interests (the “Interests”) in GMDOC, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“GMDOC”), for an aggregate purchase price of $4,037,500, and was subsequently admitted as a member of GMDOC.

 

18
 

 

With respect to its cash capital contribution, the Company paid a non-refundable cash deposit for the membership interests in the amount of $50,000 on May 3, 2022. The Company paid the remainder of the cash contribution for the membership interests, or $800,000, on May 16, 2022. The remainder of the Company’s capital contribution, or $3,187,500, was financed by the Bank Loan (as defined below).

 

GMDOC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests (the “Acquisition”) in certain oil and gas leases (the “GMDOC Leases”) from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC Leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis.

The conversion of the 8% Note and the October 8% Notes and the exercise of the underlying warrants are each subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that the 8% Note Investor and the October 8% Note Investors may not convert the underlying notes or exercise the underlying warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in any of the investors being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the investors, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.

 

The Company and the 8% Note Investor and the October 8% Note Investors agreed that for so long as the underlying warrants remain outstanding, the investors have the right to participate in any issuance of Common Stock, conventional debt, or a combination of such securities and/or debt, up to an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of such subsequent financing.

As a result, the 8% Note and October 8% Notes were required to be separated into its debt and equity components based on their relative fair values because of the issuance of detachable warrants together with the 8% Note and the October 8% Notes. Accordingly, the Company allocated the proceeds of the 8% note as follows:

Proceeds allocated to 8% convertible note  $314,104 
Proceeds allocated to detachable warrants to purchase common stock   335,896 
      
Total proceeds  $650,000 

 

The 8% Note and October 8% Notes were recorded at their par value less the discount established at its origination date. The note discount is amortized over the term of the convertible note utilizing the level-interest method. The following is the assumptions used in calculating the estimated grant-date fair value of the detachable warrants to purchase common stock granted in connection with the 8% Note and the October 8% Note during the August and October of 2021:

Total stock-based compensation  $378,341   $106,750   $608,247   $188,000 

 

The Company applies ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments based on the estimated fair value of the awards. ASC 718 also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements to be presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows. Compensation cost is recognized based on the grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted and is estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 13, 2021, the stockholders approved the 2021 Plan (the 2021 Plan) and the Company reserved 5,000,000 shares for issuance under the 2021 Plan. At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 25, 2015, the stockholders approved the 2015 Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and the Company reserved 500,000 shares for issuance under the 2015 Plan.

 

The 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan provide for under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock is reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan. Options granted under the 2021 Plan and 2015 Plan allow for the purchase of shares of Common Stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company has issued stock options and restricted stock awards that are not pursuant to a formal plan with terms similar to the 2021 and 2015 Plans.

 

As of June 30, 2022, 5,500,000 shares were available for future grants under the 2021 Plan and the 2015 Plan. All other Plans have now expired.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For purposes of estimating the expected term of options granted, the Company aggregates option recipients into groups that have similar option exercise behavioral traits. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are based on the expected volatility based on historical volatility. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s forfeiture rate assumption used in determining its stock-based compensation expense is estimated based on historical data. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates. There were 1,800,000 options granted during June 2021.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in connection with the vesting of stock options granted aggregating $51,000 and $25,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $127,499 and $25,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The total grant date fair value of the 1,800,000 stock options issued during 2021 was $305,997 in total or $0.17 per share and there were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The intrinsic value as of June 30, 2022 related to the vested and unvested stock options as of that date was $-0-. There is no unrecognized compensation cost as of June 30, 2022 related to the unvested stock options as of that date.

 

Restricted stock grants.

 

During May 2022 the Board of Directors granted 1,550,000 shares of restricted stock awards to our officers, directors and consultants. In addition, during August 2020 the Board of Directors granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted stock awards to our officers, directors and a consultant. Restricted stock awards are valued on the date of grant and have no purchase price for the recipient. Restricted stock awards typically vest over a period of time generally corresponding to yearly anniversaries of the grant date. Unvested shares of restricted stock awards may be forfeited upon the termination of service of employment with the Company, depending upon the circumstances of termination. Except for restrictions placed on the transferability of restricted stock, holders of unvested restricted stock have full stockholder’s rights, including voting rights and the right to receive cash dividends.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in connection with the issuance/vesting of restricted stock grants aggregating $255,625 and $81,250 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $336,875 and $162,500 during the six ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company estimated the fair market value of these restricted stock grants based on the closing market price on the date of grant. As of June 30, 2022, there were $523,135 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to all remaining non-vested restricted stock grants, which will be amortized over the next nine months in accordance with the respective vesting scale.

Note 7 – Derivative Instruments

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which were related to the detachable warrants issued in connection with various notes payable that have now been paid off or settled, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock and current interest rates. The detachable warrants issued in connection with the two other short-term notes payable (See Note 4) contained ratchet and anti-dilution provisions that remain in effect during the term of the warrants while the ratchet and anti-dilution provisions of the other notes payable cease when the related note payable is extinguished.

 

On April 1, 2021, the outstanding warrants treated as derivatives and the related notes payable containing such ratchet and anti-dilution provisions were extinguished through a note payable exchange transaction. Therefore, the derivative liability was adjusted to fair value and extinguished as of April 1, 2021.

 

A summary of the assumptions used in calculating estimated fair value of such derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2021 is as follows:

 

  

As of

Warrants issued pursuant to USNG Letter Agreement

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “USNG Letter Agreement”) with U.S. Noble Gas, LLC (“USNG”), pursuant to which USNG will provide consulting services to the Company for exploration, testing, refining, production, marketing and distribution of various potential reserves of noble gases and rare earth element/minerals on the Company’s recently acquired 11,000-acre oil and gas properties in the Otis Albert Field located on the Central Kansas Properties. The USNG Letter Agreement would cover all of the noble gas, specifically including helium, and rare earth elements/minerals potentially existing on the Central Kansas Properties and the Company’s future acquisitions, if any.

 

The USNG Letter Agreement also provides that USNG will supply a large vessel designed for flows up to 5,000 barrels of water per day at low pressures, known as a gas extraction/separator unit. The gas extraction/separator unit is a dewatering vessel that the Company may use for multiple wells in the future.

 

29
 

 

The USNG Letter Agreement requires the Company to establish a four-member board of advisors (the “Board of Advisors”) comprised of various experts involved in noble gas and rare earth elements/minerals. The Board of Advisors will help attract both industry partners and financial partners for developing a large helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral resources that may exist in the region where the Company currently operates. The industry partners would include helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral purchasers and exploration and development companies from the energy industry. The financial partners may include large family offices or small institutions.

 

The Company will pay USNG a monthly cash fee equal to $8,000 per month beginning at the onset of commercial helium or minerals production and sales, subject to certain thresholds. Such monthly fees will become due and payable for any month that AMGAS receives cash receipts in excess of $25,000 derived from the sale of noble gases and/or rare earth elements/minerals. The Company has not yet achieved the $25,000 cash receipts threshold, therefore there has been no payment or accrual liability relative to this cash fee provision as of June 30, 2022.

 

In consideration for the consulting services to be rendered and pursuant to the terms of the USNG Letter Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,060,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.50 (the “Exercise Price”) to three of USNG’s principal consultants and four third-party service providers. The Company was also required to issue warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share exercise price to three members of the Board of Advisors. The Company granted a total of 3,260,000 warrants to purchase its Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share in connection with the USNG Letter Agreement and the arrangements described therein. The warrants expire five years after the date of the USNG Letter Agreement.

 

The fair value of the warrants to purchase common stock in consideration for services to be rendered under the USNG Letter Agreement with USNG is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the warrant, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For purposes of estimating the expected term of warrants granted, the Company considered the historical pattern of warrant exercises behavioral traits and determined that the expected term should be 5 years. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are based on the expected volatility based on historical volatility. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s forfeiture rate assumption used in determining its stock-based compensation expense is estimated based on historical data. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates.

 

The following is the assumptions used in calculating the estimated grant-date fair value of the warrants issued pursuant to the USNG Letter Agreement granted on November 9, 2021:

 

  

As of

November 9, 2021

(issuance date)

 
     
Volatility – range   359.3%
Risk-free rate   1.08%
Expected term   5.0 years 
Exercise price  $0.50 
Number of warrants in aggregate   3,260,000 

 

The Company recognized $71,716 and $143,873 of compensation expense relative to the 3,260,000 warrants to purchase common stock issued pursuant to the USNG Letter Agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There have been no exercises or forfeitures of the warrants to purchase common stock relative to the USNG Letter during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The USNG warrants were not outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The total grant date fair value of the 3,260,000 warrants to purchase common stock issued pursuant to the USNG Letter Agreement on November 9, 2021 was $1,434,313 in total or $0.44 per share. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to the 3,260,000 warrants to purchase common stock issued pursuant to the USNG Letter Agreement, as of June 30, 2022 was $1,243,070 which will be amortized over the next fifty-two months.

 

Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate on income (loss) before income tax benefit varies from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the net operating loss history of the Company maintaining a full reserve on all net deferred tax assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years, and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company determined there was not sufficient positive evidence regarding its potential for future profits to outweigh the negative evidence of our three-year cumulative loss position under the guidance provided in ASC 740. Therefore, it determined to continue to provide a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize these assets. To the extent the Company determines that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed.

 

30
 

 

For income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $62,980,000 in accordance with its 2021 Federal Income tax return as filed. Approximately $61,045,000 of such net operating loss carry-forwards expire from 2028 through 2037 while $1,935,000 of such net operating loss carry-forwards have an indefinite carryforward period in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act limits the usage of net operating loss carryforwards to 80% of taxable income per year.

 

The Company has recently completed the filing of its tax returns for the tax years 2012 through 2021. Therefore, all such tax returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions under Section 382 which limit a company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards in the event that it has experienced a more than 50% change in ownership over a three-year period. Management has completed its review of whether such ownership changes have occurred, and based upon such review, management believes that the Company is not currently subject to an annual limitation or the possibility of the complete elimination of the net operating loss carry- forwards. In addition, the Company may be limited by additional ownership changes which may occur in the future.

 

Note 10 – Gain on Exchange and Extinguishment of Liabilities

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded gains on the extinguishment of liabilities through the negotiation of settlements with certain creditors and through the operation of law as follows:

Total gain on exchange and
extinguishment of liabilities
  $   $55,230   $   $86,602 

 

Gain (loss) on exchange and extinguishment of notes payable On April 1, 2021 the Company and the holders of two notes payable aggregating $85,000 that were in default reached a settlement whereby the Company issued a total of 245,000 shares of Common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of the outstanding principal, accrued interest and associated common stock purchase warrants which totaled $123,830 as of April 1, 2021. The 245,000 shares issued to extinguish the debt obligations resulted in a gain of $55,230 which was recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Gain on exchange and extinguishment of liabilities - On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into Debt Settlement Agreements with six creditors (five of which were related parties) which extinguished accounts payable and accrued liabilities totaling $2,866,497 in exchange for the issuance of $28,665 in principal balance of 3% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “3% Notes”) with detachable warrants to purchase 5,732,994 shares of Common Stock for $0.50 per share. The 3% Notes allows for prepayment at any time with all principal and accrued interest becoming due and payable at maturity on March 30, 2026. The 3% Notes are convertible as to principal and any accrued interest, at the option of holder, into shares of the company’s Common Stock at any time after the issue date and prior to the close of business on the business day preceding the Maturity Date at the rate of fifty cents ($0.50) per share, subject to normal and customary adjustment.

 

31
 

 

The warrants to purchase 5,732,994 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement Agreements were valued at $1,605,178 using the Black-Scholes methodology. The following assumptions were used in calculating the estimated fair value of the warrants as of March 31, 2021, their date of issuance:

 

  

As of

March 31,

2021

 
     
Volatility – range   374.0%
Risk-free rate   0.92%
Contractual term   5.0 years
Exercise price  $0.50 
Number of warrants in aggregate   5,732,994 

 

An aggregate of $2,577,727 of the total accounts payable and accrued liabilities that were extinguished were with five related parties. Such related parties were issued $25,777 principal balance of the 3% Convertible Promissory Notes and warrants to purchase 5,155,454 shares of Common Stock in exchange for the extinguishment of their respective debt obligations. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of liabilities for the portion of the extinguishment with non-related parties. Furthermore, it recognized the portion of the gain on extinguishment of liabilities with related parties as a contribution of capital.

 

The gain on extinguishment of liabilities from the Debt Settlement Agreements was determined as follows:

 

   Amount 
     
Total accounts payable and accrued liabilities extinguished  $2,866,497 
Less: Principal balance of 3% Convertible Promissory Notes issued   (28,665)
Less: Fair value of warrants to purchase common stock issued   (1,605,178)
      
Total gain on extinguishment of liabilities  $1,232,654 
Less: Related party amounts reported as a capital contribution   (1,108,477)
      
Gain on extinguishment of liabilities  $124,177 

 

 

Loss from retirement of convertible note payable - On March 26, 2021, the Company exercised its right to retire a convertible note payable originally issued in August 2020 in conjunction with the issuance of March 2021 Convertible Preferred Stock (See Note 13). In accordance with the prepayment provisions contained in the August 2020 convertible note, the Company paid all principal, accrued interest and the 15% prepayment premium as follows:

 

   Amount 
Principal balance at par  $365,169 
Remaining discount included in principal balance   (44,883)
Accrued interest   17,448 
Prepayment premium (including remaining discount due to early retirement)   115,805 
      
Total payment to retire the August Note  $453,539 

 

The prepayment premium was charged to non-operating expense as a loss from retirement of convertible note payable during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Note 11 – Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the Company’s portion of future plugging and abandonment costs for wells and related facilities. The following table presents the changes in the asset retirement obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   Amount 
     
Asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2020  $1,716,003 
Additions   13,425 
Accretion expense during the period   279 
      
Asset retirement obligation at June 30, 2021  $1,729,707 
      
Asset retirement obligation at December 31, 2021  $1,730,264 
Additions    
Accretion expense during the period   580 
      
Asset retirement obligation at June 30, 2022  $1,730,844 

 

The $1,716,003 asset retirement obligation existing at December 31, 2020 and in years prior to 2020 represented the remaining potential liability for wells AMGAS had owned in Texas and Wyoming prior to their sales/disposal in 2012. AMGAS was not in compliance with then existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations for its previously owned Texas and Wyoming domestic oil and gas properties. All domestic oil and gas properties held by Infinity – Wyoming and Infinity-Texas were disposed of in 2012 and prior; however, the Company may remain liable for certain asset retirement costs should the new owners not complete their asset retirement obligations. Management believes the asset retirement obligations recorded relative to these Texas and Wyoming wells of $1,716,003 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are sufficient to cover any potential noncompliance liabilities relative to the plugging of abandoned wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties for its former oil and gas properties.

 

The Company assumed a $13,425 asset retirement obligation pursuant to an acquisition on April 1, 2021 and recorded $302 and $580 of accretion expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively related to the acquisition of the Oil and Gas Properties as further described in Note 2.

 

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lack of Compliance with Law Regarding Domestic Properties

 

AMGAS was not in compliance with then existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations for domestic oil and gas properties owned and disposed of in 2012 and in years prior to 2012 and could have a material or significantly adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of AMGAS. All domestic oil and gas properties held by Infinity – Wyoming and Infinity-Texas were disposed of in 2012 and prior; however, the Company may remain liable for certain asset retirement costs should the new owners not complete their obligations. Management believes the total asset retirement obligations recorded for these prior matters of $1,716,003 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are sufficient to cover any potential noncompliance liabilities relative to the plugging of abandoned wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties for its former oil and gas properties.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in which vendors are claiming breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay amounts due. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for these claims in the accompanying financial statements.

 

33
 

 

The Company is currently involved in litigation as follows:

 

In October 2012 the State of Texas filed a lawsuit naming Infinity-Texas, the Company and the corporate officers of Infinity-Texas, seeking $30,000 of reclamation costs associated with a single well, in addition to administrative expenses and penalties. The Company engaged in negotiations with the State of Texas in late 2012 and early 2013 and reached a settlement agreement that would reduce the aggregate liability, in this action and any extension of this to other Texas wells, to $45,103, which amount has been paid. Certain performance obligations remain which must be satisfied in order to finally settle and dismiss the matter.
   
  Pending satisfactory performance of the performance obligations and their acceptance by the State of Texas, the officers have potential liability regarding the above matter, and the officers are held personally harmless by indemnification provisions of the Company. Therefore, to the extent they might actually occur, these liabilities are the obligations of the Company. Management estimates that the liabilities associated with this matter will not exceed $780,000, calculated as $30,000 for each of the 26 Infinity-Texas operated wells. This related liability, less the payment made to the State of Texas in 2012 in the amount of $45,103, is included in the asset retirement obligation on the accompanying balance sheets.
   
Cambrian Consultants America, Inc. (“Cambrian”) filed an action in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, number CV2014-55719, on September 26, 2014 against the Company resulting from certain professional consulting services provided for quality control and management of seismic operations during November and December 2013 on the Nicaraguan Concessions. Cambrian provided these services pursuant to a Master Consulting Agreement with the Company, dated November 20, 2013, and has claimed breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On December 8, 2014, a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $96,877 plus interest and attorney fees. The Company has included the impact of this litigation as a liability in its accounts payable. The Company will seek to settle the default judgment when it has the financial resources to do so.
   
Torrey Hills Capital, Inc. (“Torrey”) notified the Company by letter, dated August 15, 2014, of its demand for the payment of $56,000, which it alleged was unpaid and owed under a consulting agreement dated October 18, 2013. The parties entered into a consulting agreement under which Torrey agreed to provide investor relations services in exchange for payment of $7,000 per month and the issuance of 15,000 shares of Common Stock. The agreement was for an initial three month-term with automatic renewals unless terminated upon 30 days’ written notice by either party. The Company made payments totaling $14,000 and issued 15,000 shares of Common Stock during 2013. The Company contends that Torrey breached the agreement by not performing the required services and that it had provided proper notice of termination to Torrey. Furthermore, the Company contends that the parties agreed to settle the dispute on or about June 19, 2014 under which it would issue 2,800 shares of Common Stock in full settlement of any balance then owed and final termination of the agreement. Torrey disputed the Company’s contentions and submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. The Company was unable to defend itself and the arbitration panel awarded Torrey a total of $79,594 in damages. The Company has accrued this amount in accounts payable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which management believes is sufficient to provide for the ultimate resolution of this dispute.
   
Joseph Ryan (“Ryan”) filed an action in the District Court of Johnson County, Kansas, number 20CV01493, on March 20, 2020 against the Company resulting from certain professional consulting services Ryan alleges he performed for Social, Environmental and Economic Impact Assessments during July 2012 through September 2015 on the Nicaraguan Concessions. Ryan alleges that such services were provided pursuant to oral agreements with AMGAS. Ryan claims breach of contract for failure to pay $12,000 amounts invoiced and due. On December 23, 2020, Ryan filed a Motion for Default Judgment for $12,000 in unpaid invoices plus legal, fees, statutory interest and any expert testimony fees.

 

34
 

 

 

On February 10, 2021, the parties agreed to a full and complete settlement of the matter with prejudice. The terms of the settlement required the Company to pay a total of $10,000 to extinguish accounts payable to Ryan totaling $33,000.

USNG Letter Agreement

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “USNG Letter Agreement”) with U.S. Noble Gas, LLC (“USNG”), pursuant to which USNG will provide consulting services to the Company for exploration, testing, refining, production, marketing and distribution of various potential reserves of noble gases and rare earth element/minerals on the Company’s recently acquired 11,000-acre oil and gas properties in the Otis Albert Field located on the Central Kansas Properties. The USNG Letter Agreement would cover all of the noble gas, specifically including helium, and rare earth elements/minerals potentially existing on the Central Kansas Properties and the Company’s future acquisitions, if any.

 

The USNG Letter Agreement also provides that USNG will supply a large vessel designed for flows up to 5,000 barrels of water per day at low pressures, known as a gas extraction/separator unit. The gas extraction/separator unit is a dewatering vessel that the Company may use for multiple wells in the future.

 

The USNG Letter Agreement requires the Company to establish a four-member board of advisors (the “Board of Advisors”) comprised of various experts involved in noble gas and rare earth elements/minerals. The Board of Advisors will help attract both industry partners and financial partners for developing a large helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral resources that may exist in the region where the Company currently operates. The industry partners would include helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral purchasers and exploration and development companies from the energy industry. The financial partners may include large family offices or small institutions.

 

The Company will pay USNG a monthly cash fee equal to $8,000 per month beginning at the onset of commercial helium or minerals production and sales, subject to certain thresholds. Such monthly fees will become due and payable for any month that AMGAS receives cash receipts in excess of $25,000 derived from the sale of noble gases and/or rare earth elements/minerals. The Company has not yet achieved the $25,000 cash receipts threshold, therefore there has been no payment or accrual liability relative to this cash fee provision as of June 30, 2022.

Overview

 

Since 2009, we had planned to pursue the exploration of potential oil and gas resources in the United States and in the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea (the “Nicaraguan Concessions” or “Concessions”), which contain a total of approximately 1.4 million acres. Civil unrest within Nicaragua and difficulties encountered with negotiations on extensions and the issuance of permits to drill with the Nicaraguan government made the exploration and development of the underlying concessions problematic. In addition, the Company was in technical default of the certain terms of the Nicaraguan Concession and the Nicaraguan government terminated both of the underlying Concessions. As a result, the Company abandoned all of its efforts to explore and develop the Nicaraguan Concessions effective January 1, 2020.

 

39
 

 

We sold our wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. (“Infinity Texas”) in 2012 and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil and Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (“Infinity Wyoming”), was administratively dissolved in 2009.

 

Subsequent to the termination of the Nicaraguan Concessions, we began assessing various opportunities and strategic alternatives involving the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas oil producing properties in the United States, including the possibility of acquiring businesses or assets that provide support services for the production of oil and gas in the United States.

 

As a result, we are now involved with the following oil and gas producing properties:

 

Central Kansas Uplift - On April 1, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties, for a purchase price of $900,000. The Central Kansas Uplift Properties include the production and mineral rights/leasehold for oil and gas properties, subject to overriding royalties to third parties, in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation covering over 11,000 contiguous acres (the “Properties”). The purchase of the Properties included the existing production equipment, infrastructure and ownership of 11 square miles of existing 3-D seismic data on the acreage. The Properties include a horizontal producing well, horizontal saltwater injection well, conventional saltwater disposal well and two conventional vertical producing wells, which currently produce from the Reagan Sand Zone with an approximate depth of 3,600 feet.

 

We commenced rework of the existing production wells after completion of the acquisition of the Properties and have performed testing and evaluation of the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the Properties’ existing oil and gas reserves while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

 

Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% participation in a Farmout Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC as the Farmee and Scout Energy Partners as Farmor with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. AMGAS has joined three other parties to explore for and develop potential oil, natural gas, noble gases and brine minerals on the properties underlying the Farmout Agreement (collectively the “Hugoton JV”).

 

The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells, with the first exploratory well spudded on April 28, 2022. The Hugoton JV will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. The Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton JV with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, which will enable the Hugoton JV to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices.

 

The Hugoton JV also acquired the right to all brine minerals subject to a ten percent (10%) royalty to Scout, across Finney and Haskell Counties. Brine minerals are harvested from the formation water produced from active, and to be drilled, oil and gas wells and may include a variety of dissolved minerals including bromine and iodine. The Hugoton JV plans to target brine minerals with commercial quantities of bromine and iodine. AMGAS through the Hugoton JV is currently developing proprietary technology to recover brine minerals, particularly with respect to bromine, which is well underway and has demonstrated recovery efficiency and is expected to be available for use in existing and future development wells.

 

The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The Hugoton JV believes that its unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

40
 

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

 

Investment in GMDOC, LLC - On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 17 (or 60.7143%) of 28 limited liability membership interests (the “Interests”) in GMDOC, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“GMDOC”), for an aggregate purchase price of $4,037,500, and was subsequently admitted as a member of GMDOC.

 

With respect to its cash capital contribution, the Company paid a non-refundable cash deposit for the membership interests in the amount of $50,000 on May 3, 2022. The Company paid the remainder of the cash contribution for the membership interests, or $800,000, on May 16, 2022. The remainder of the Company’s capital contribution, or $3,187,500, was financed by the Bank Loan (as defined below).

 

GMDOC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests (the “Acquisition”) in certain oil and gas leases (the “GMDOC Leases”) from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC Leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis.

 

GMDOC is managed by two members: Darrah Oil Company, LLC, and Grand Mesa Operating Company, (collectively the “Managing Members”), which also serve as the operating companies under the GMDOC Leases.

 

We may find it necessary to obtain new sources of debt and/or equity capital to fund the exploration and development of the oil and gas producing properties enumerated above, as well as to satisfy our existing debt obligations. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient new debt/equity capital to fund our planned development of the various properties.

 

Name Change and Reincorporation Matters

 

At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on October 13, 2021, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, changing the Company’s name to American Noble Gas, Inc. The stockholders also approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, removing the provision providing that any action taken by the stockholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting requires that all of the Company’s stockholders entitled to vote on such action consent in writing thereto. Finally, the stockholders approved the 2021 Plan and we reserved 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2021 Plan.

 

Reincorporation in Nevada

 

On December 7, 2021, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Predecessor merged with and into its wholly owned subsidiary, AMGAS-Nevada with AMGAS-Nevada continuing as the surviving corporation. In conjunction with the merger, AMGAS-Nevada succeeded to the assets, continued the business and assumed the rights and obligations of the Predecessor existing immediately prior to the merger. The merger was consummated by the filing of a Certificate of Merger on December 7, 2021 with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Agreement and Plan of Merger and transactions contemplated thereby were adopted by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Predecessor’s Common Stock and/or Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted common stock basis, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, (i) each outstanding share of the Predecessor’s common stock automatically converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMGAS-Nevada, (ii) each outstanding share of the Predecessor’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMGAS-Nevada, and (iii) each outstanding option, right or warrant to acquire shares of the Predecessor common stock converted into an option, right or warrant to acquire an equal number of shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock under the same terms and conditions as the original options, rights or warrants.

Similar to the shares of common stock of the Predecessor prior to the merger, the shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock are quoted on the OTCQB tier operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “IFNY”. In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each outstanding certificate previously representing shares of the Predecessor’s common stock or Series A Preferred Stock automatically represents, without any action of the Predecessor’s stockholders, the same number of shares of AMGAS-Nevada common stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the directors and officers of the Predecessor immediately prior to the merger became the directors and officers of AMGAS-Nevada and continued their respective directorship or services with the Company on the same terms as their respective directorship or services with the Predecessor immediately prior to the merger.

 

As a result of the merger, the internal affairs of the Company ceased to be subject to the Delaware General Corporation Law or governed by the Predecessor’s Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws. As of the December 7, 2021, effective date of the merger, the Company is now subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes and is governed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

2022 Operational and Financial Objectives

 

COVID–19 PANDEMIC

 

The financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the description of our business contained herein, unless otherwise indicated, principally reflect the status of our business and the results of our operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Economies throughout the world have been and continue to be disrupted by the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent rise of the new Omicron variant. In particular, the oil and gas market has been severely adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic because of the substantial and abrupt decrease in the demand for oil and gas globally followed by the recent resurgence in oil and natural gas prices. In addition, the capital markets have experienced periods of disruption and our efforts to raise necessary capital in the future may be adversely impacted by the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and investor sentiment and we cannot forecast with any certainty when the lingering uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will cease to impact our business and the results of our operations.

The Notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into 2,125,000 shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share of $0.40.

The conversion of the May 2022 Notes are each subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that the Investors may not convert the May 2022 Notes to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in an Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the Investor, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.

The Company paid half of the May 2022 Notes principal balance upon its maturity on June 29, 2022 and the remaining half remains due and payable and is therefore in technical default.

The August Note bears interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum with 12 months guaranteed, may be voluntarily repaid in cash in full or in part by us at any time in an amount equal to 115% of the principal amount of the August Note and any accrued and unpaid interest, and shall be mandatorily repaid in cash in an amount equal to 115% of the principal amount of the August Note and any accrued and unpaid interest in the event of the consummation by us of any public or private offering or other financing pursuant to which we receive gross proceeds of at least $2,500,000.

Acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties

 

Central Kansas Uplift - On April 1, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties, for a purchase price of $900,000. The Central Kansas Uplift Properties include the production and mineral rights/leasehold for oil and gas properties, subject to overriding royalties to third parties, in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation covering over 11,000 contiguous acres (the “Properties”). The purchase of the Properties included the existing production equipment, infrastructure and ownership of 11 square miles of existing 3-D seismic data on the acreage. The Properties include a horizontal producing well, horizontal saltwater injection well, conventional saltwater disposal well and two conventional vertical producing wells, which currently produce from the Reagan Sand Zone with an approximate depth of 3,600 feet.

 

We commenced rework of the existing production wells after completion of the acquisition of the Properties and have performed testing and evaluation of the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the Properties’ existing oil and gas reserves while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

 

Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% participation in a Farmout Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC as the Farmee and Scout Energy Partners as Farmor with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. AMGAS has joined three other parties to explore for and develop potential oil, natural gas, noble gases and brine minerals on the properties underlying the Farmout Agreement (collectively the “Hugoton JV”).

 

The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells, with the first exploratory well spudded on April 28, 2022. The Hugoton JV will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. The Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton JV with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, which will enable the Hugoton JV to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices.

 

The Hugoton JV also acquired the right to all brine minerals subject to a ten percent (10%) royalty to Scout, across Finney and Haskell Counties. Brine minerals are harvested from the formation water produced from active, and to be drilled, oil and gas wells and may include a variety of dissolved minerals including bromine and iodine. The Hugoton JV plans to target brine minerals with commercial quantities of bromine and iodine. AMGAS through the Hugoton JV is currently developing proprietary technology to recover brine minerals, particularly with respect to bromine, which is well underway and has demonstrated recovery efficiency and is expected to be available for use in existing and future development wells.

 

The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The Hugoton JV believes that its unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

Investment in GMDOC, LLC - On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 17 (or 60.7143%) of 28 limited liability membership interests (the “Interests”) in GMDOC, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company (“GMDOC”), for an aggregate purchase price of $4,037,500, and was subsequently admitted as a member of GMDOC.

 

With respect to its cash capital contribution, the Company paid a non-refundable cash deposit for the membership interests in the amount of $50,000 on May 3, 2022. The Company paid the remainder of the cash contribution for the membership interests, or $800,000, on May 16, 2022. The remainder of the Company’s capital contribution, or $3,187,500, was financed by the Bank Loan (as defined below).

 

GMDOC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests (the “Acquisition”) in certain oil and gas leases (the “GMDOC Leases”) from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC Leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis.

 

GMDOC is managed by two members: Darrah Oil Company, LLC, and Grand Mesa Operating Company, (collectively the “Managing Members”), which also serve as the operating companies under the GMDOC Leases.

 

We may find it necessary to obtain new sources of debt and/or equity capital to fund the exploration and development of the oil and gas producing properties enumerated above, as well as to satisfy our existing debt obligations. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient new debt/equity capital to fund our planned development of the various properties.

 

Letter Agreement with U.S. Noble Gas, LLC

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “USNG Letter Agreement”) with U.S. Noble Gas, LLC (“USNG”), pursuant to which USNG would provide consulting services to the Company for exploration, testing, refining, production, marketing and distribution of various potential reserves of noble gases and rare earth element/minerals on the Properties. The USNG Letter Agreement would cover all of the noble gas, specifically helium, and rare earth elements/minerals potentially existing on the Properties and the future acquisitions of the Company, if any, including the Hugoton Gas Field.

 

The USNG Letter Agreement also provided that USNG would supply a large vessel designed for flows up to 5,000 barrels of water per day at low pressures, known as a gas extraction/separator unit. The gas extraction/separator unit is a dewatering vessel that the Company may use for multiple wells in the future.

 

The USNG Letter Agreement required the Company to establish a four-member board of advisors (the “Board of Advisors”) comprised of various experts in noble gas and rare earth elements/minerals. The Board of Advisors will help attract both industry partners and financial partners for developing a large helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral resources that may exist in the region where the Company currently operates. The industry partners would include helium, noble gas and/or rare earth element/mineral purchasers and exploration and development companies from the energy industry. The financial partners may include large family offices or small institutions.

 

The Company is required to pay USNG a $8,000 monthly cash fee beginning at the onset of commercial helium or minerals production and sales, subject to certain thresholds. Such monthly fees will become due and payable for any month that AMGAS receives cash receipts in excess of $25,000 derived from the sale of noble gases and/or rare earth elements/minerals. The Company has not yet achieved the $25,000 cash receipts threshold, therefore there has been no payment or accrual liability relative to this cash fee provision through June 30, 2022.

 

48
 

 

The USNG Letter Agreement has an initial term of 5 years, which shall thereafter continue for successive one-year periods, provided that there is no uncured breach, unless otherwise terminated by either party upon a written notice of intent to non-renew.

 

In consideration for the consulting services to be rendered and pursuant to the terms of the USNG Letter Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,060,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.50 to three of USNG’s principal consultants and four third-party service providers. The Company also issued warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share exercise price to three members of the Board of Advisors. The Company granted a total of 3,260,000 warrants to purchase its Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share in connection with the USNG Letter Agreement and the arrangements described therein. The warrants expire five years after the date of the USNG Letter Agreement.

Revenues totaled $43,563 and $20,828 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $22,735 or 109% increase in revenues during the second quarter 2022 as compared to 2021 reflects the significant improvement in the market price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil which is the benchmark price the Company receives for the sale of its crude oil. The average WTI crude oil price during the second quarter 2022 was $108.72 as compared to $66.09 in 2021. The Company expects its revenues to continue to improve as the price of WTI oil remains strong and the Company increases the volume of oil and gas sold as it connects its Hugoton Gas Field initial exploratory gas well to the pipeline during the third quarter of 2022.

 

Our revenue has been substantially impacted by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the world supply of oil and gas and thereby increased the average WTI crude oil price. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

 

Oil and Gas Lease Operating Expenses

 

The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021. Total oil and gas lease operating expenses totaled $56,178 and $226,779 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The improvement in oil and gas lease operating expenses are attributable to significant repairs and rework performed in the three months ended June 30, 2021 that did not recur in the 2022 period.

 

Upon completion of our acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift properties on April 1, 2021, we commenced rework of the existing production wells on the Properties in order to restore the three producing wells to full operational condition. All such rework costs were expensed as routine maintenance instead of capitalized to oil and gas properties and equipment under the full-cost method. In addition, we have performed certain exploration, including testing and evaluation for the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties, including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the existing oil and gas reserves on the Properties while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

 

Our oil and gas lease operating expenses have been substantially impacted by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the supply of production pipe and other materials used in the drilling and rework of oil and gas wells. In addition, experienced oil and gas service professionals have been in high demand in the oil and gas service sector and thereby increasing the cost of oil and gas well services. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $30,834 and $30,834 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil resulting since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021, which was acquired for $900,000 cash plus the assumption of asset retirement obligations of $13,425. The Company allocated the purchase price of $913,425 to oil and gas properties and equipment, which is subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization as the acquisition qualified as an asset acquisition. Total depreciation, depletion and amortization was $30,834 and $30,834 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have not placed the Hugoton Gas Field initial exploratory gas well into service as of June 30, 2022, therefore we have not begun the related depreciation. We expect to place the well into service and begin depreciation during the third quarter of 2022 upon its final connection to the pipeline.

 

Accretion of Asset Retirement Obligation

 

Total expense for the accretion of asset retirement obligations was $302 and $279 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company determined the amount of the asset retirement obligation assumed to be $13,425 as of April 1, 2021, the date of the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties. The obligation relates to legal requirements associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisitions, construction, development, or normal use of the asset. The obligation relates primarily to the requirement to plug and abandon oil and natural gas wells and support wells at the conclusion of their useful lives.

 

Oil and Gas Production Related Taxes

 

The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021. Oil and gas production related taxes totaled $82 and $966 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such taxes are deducted from gross oil and gas revenue by the crude oil purchaser upon payment to the Company and include primarily severance taxes imposed by the State of Kansas and Kansas conservation assessment fees. Revenues totaled $43,563 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which resulted in the deduction of $82 in production related taxes. Revenues totaled $20,828 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in the deduction of $966 in production related taxes primarily due to severance taxes paid in 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 the Company received notice of an exemption from the State of Kansas, which exempted the Company from paying severance taxes due to the existing wells production levels. Therefore, production related taxes declined as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses

 

Other general and administrative expenses were $479,437 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $237,141, or 98%, from other general and administrative expenses of $242,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in other general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase of $271,591 in stock-based compensation due to the noncash compensation awarded to the Company’s executives, Board members, the USNG letter agreement which awarded compensatory warrants to advisory board members and other consultants in 2022 and in late 2021.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary – GMDOC, LLC

 

The Company reported equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary of $114,336 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Such income resulted from the Company acquiring a 60.7143% membership interest in GMDOC, LLC in May 2022. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee, GMDOC, LLC. Management’s judgment regarding its level of influence over the operations of GMDOC, LLC included considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, its’ lack of participation in policy-making decisions and its’ lack of control over the day-to-day operations of GMDOC, LLC.

 

51
 

 

GMDOC, LLC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests in certain oil and gas leases from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis. GMDOC, LLC generated $188,319 of net income on approximately $790,000 of oil and gas revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company owns a 60.7143% membership interest in such net income which it has reported as equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary – GMDOC, LLC during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $332,234 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $214 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the issuance of the various 8% Convertible Notes Payable during 2022 and also in August and October 2021 that was outstanding in the 2022 period and not in the 2021 period.

 

Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities

 

The Company reported a gain on exchange and extinguishment of liabilities of $-0- and $55,230 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

On April 1, 2021 the Company and the holders of two notes payable aggregating $85,000 that were in default reached a settlement whereby the Company issued a total of 245,000 shares of Common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of the outstanding principal, accrued interest and associated common stock purchase warrants which totaled $123,830 as of April 1, 2021. The 245,000 shares issued to extinguish the debt obligations resulted in a gain of $55,230 which was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Income Tax

 

The Company recorded no income tax benefit (expense) in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company has been in a cumulative tax loss position and has substantial net operating loss carryforwards available for its utilization at June 30, 2022. The Company has continued to carry a 100% reserve on its net deferred tax assets and therefore recorded no income tax expense or benefit on its income (loss) before income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company reported a net loss of $741,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $425,326 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This represents a deterioration of $315,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends

 

The Company recorded $52,289 and $56,784 in convertible preferred stock dividends in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On March 26, 2021 and on June 15, 2022 the Company issued and classified its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as equity securities in the balance sheet. Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend at a 10% rate based on its stated/liquidation value.

 

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on March 26, 2021 and June 15, 2022 have preference over Common Stock and therefore such accrued dividend amounts have been deducted from net loss to report net loss applicable to common stockholders of $793,457 and $482,110 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

52
 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Share

 

Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock Equivalents outstanding during the period. Common Stock Equivalents included in the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share computation represent shares of Common Stock issuable upon the assumed conversion of Convertible Notes Payable, Convertible Preferred Stock and the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses attributable to common stockholders are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of Common Stock Equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, therefore all Common Stock Equivalents were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share computations. The basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share were $(0.04) and $(0.03) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Potential Common Stock Equivalents as of June 30, 2022 totaled 32,330,948 shares of Common Stock, which included 3,119,830 shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Promissory Notes, 7,721,667 shares of Common Stock underlying the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 19,947,451 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding warrants and 1,542,000 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding stock options.

 

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021. Revenues totaled $68,868 and $20,828 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $48,040 or 231% increase in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021 reflects the significant improvement in the market price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil which is the benchmark price the Company receives for the sale of its crude oil. The average WTI crude oil price during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $103.26 as compared to $61.94 in 2021. The Company expects its revenues to continue to improve as the price of WTI oil remains strong and the Company increases the volume of oil and gas sold as it connects its Hugoton Gas Field initial exploratory gas well to the pipeline during the third quarter of 2022.

 

Our revenue has been substantially impacted by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the world supply of oil and gas and thereby increasing the average WTI crude oil price. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

 

Oil and Gas Lease Operating Expenses

 

The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021. Total oil and gas lease operating expenses totaled $142,714 and $226,779 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The improvement in oil and gas lease operating expenses are attributable to significant repairs and rework performed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that did not recur in the 2022 period.

 

Upon completion of our acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift properties on April 1, 2021, we commenced rework of the existing production wells on the Properties in order to restore the three producing wells to full operational condition. All such rework costs were expensed as routine maintenance instead of capitalized to oil and gas properties and equipment under the full-cost method. In addition, we have performed certain exploration, including testing and evaluation for the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties, including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the existing oil and gas reserves on the Properties while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

Our oil and gas lease operating expenses have been substantially impacted by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the supply of production pipe and other materials used in the drilling and rework of oil and gas wells. In addition, experienced oil and gas service professionals have been in high demand in the oil and gas service sector and thereby increasing the cost of oil and gas well services. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

 

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense totaled $61,668 and $30,834 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was attributable to the timing of the Central Kansas Uplift acquisition. The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil resulting since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021, which was acquired for $900,000 cash plus the assumption of asset retirement obligations of $13,425. The Company allocated the purchase price of $913,425 to oil and gas properties and equipment, which is subject to depreciation, depletion and amortization as the acquisition qualified as an asset acquisition. We have not placed the Hugoton Gas Field initial exploratory gas well into service as of June 30, 2022, therefore we have not begun the related depreciation. We expect to place the well into service and begin depreciation during the third quarter of 2022 upon its final connection to the pipeline.

 

Accretion of Asset Retirement Obligation

 

Total expense for the accretion of asset retirement obligations was $580 and $279 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company determined the amount of the asset retirement obligation assumed to be $13,425 as of April 1, 2021, the date of the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties. The obligation relates to legal requirements associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisitions, construction, development, or normal use of the asset. The obligation relates primarily to the requirement to plug and abandon oil and natural gas wells and support wells at the conclusion of their useful lives.

 

Oil and Gas Production Related Taxes

 

The Company began generating revenues from the production and sale of crude oil since the acquisition of the Properties on April 1, 2021. Oil and gas production related taxes totaled $110 and $966 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Such taxes are deducted from gross oil and gas revenue by the crude oil purchaser upon payment to the Company and include primarily severance taxes imposed by the State of Kansas and Kansas conservation assessment fees. Revenues totaled $68,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which resulted in the deduction of $110 in production related taxes. Revenues totaled $20,828 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which resulted in the deduction of $966 in production related taxes primarily due to severance taxes paid in 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company received notice of an exemption from the State of Kansas, which exempted the Company from paying severance taxes due to the existing wells production levels. Therefore, production related taxes declined as a percentage of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021.

 

Other General and Administrative Expenses

 

Other general and administrative expenses were $848,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $404,878, or 91%, from other general and administrative expenses of $443,266 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in other general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase of $420,247 in stock-based compensation due to the noncash compensation awarded to the Company’s executives, Board members, the USNG letter agreement which awarded compensatory warrants to advisory board members and other consultants in 2022 and in late 2021.

 

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary – GMDOC, LLC

 

The Company reported equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary of $114,336 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Such income resulted from the Company acquiring a 60.7143% membership interest in GMDOC, LLC in May 2022. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee, GMDOC, LLC. Management’s judgment regarding its level of influence over the operations of GMDOC, LLC included considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, its’ lack of participation in policy-making decisions and its’ lack of control over the day-to-day operations of GMDOC, LLC.

 

54
 

 

GMDOC, LLC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests in certain oil and gas leases from Castelli Energy, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 1.5 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis. GMDOC, LLC generated $188,319 of net income on approximately $790,000 of oil and gas revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company owns a 60.7143% membership interest in such net income which it has reported as equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary – GMDOC, LLC during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $425,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $34,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Interest expense increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the issuance of the various 8% Convertible Notes Payable during 2022 and also in August and October 2021 that was outstanding in the 2022 period and not in the 2021 period.

 

Gain on Extinguishment of Liabilities

 

The Company reported a gain on exchange and extinguishment of liabilities of $-0- and $86,602 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The 245,000 shares issued to extinguish the debt obligations resulted in a gain of $55,230 which was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

On March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a net gain on extinguishment of liabilities totaling $31,372, which was attributable to six transactions that extinguished outstanding liabilities as of that date. The Debt Settlement Agreements extinguished accounts payable and accrued liabilities with a total outstanding balance of $2,866,497, for the issuance of $28,665 in principal balance of the 3% Notes. Such 3% Notes were issued with detachable warrants to purchase 5,732,994 shares of Common Stock for $0.50 per share, which was valued at $1,605,178. The transaction resulted in a total gain of $1,232,654 of which $124,177 was reported as a gain on extinguishment of liabilities and $1,108,477 was reported as a capital contribution during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $23,000 gain from settlement of litigation extinguished $33,000 of trade payables for a cash payment of $10,000. The loss of $115,805 is related to the early retirement of $365,169 principal balance of August 2020 Note. There were no similar transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Change in Derivative Fair Value

 

The conversion feature in certain outstanding promissory notes and common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with short-term notes outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2021 were treated as derivative instruments because such notes and warrants contained ratchet and anti-dilution provisions. The mark-to-market process resulted in a gain of $199 during the six months ended June 30, 2021. There were no similar derivatives outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2022. All short-term notes and their related derivative warrants were terminated on April 1, 2021.

 

Income Tax

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends

 

The Company recorded $105,150 and $60,528 in convertible preferred stock dividends in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On March 26, 2021 and on June 15, 2022 the Company issued and classified its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as equity securities in the balance sheet.

Net Loss Applicable to Common Stockholders

 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on March 26, 2021 and June 15, 2022 have preference over Common Stock and therefore such accrued dividend amounts have been deducted from net loss to report net loss applicable to common stockholders of $1,400,952 and $689,478 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Share

 

Basic net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock Equivalents outstanding during the period. Common Stock Equivalents included in the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share computation represent shares of Common Stock issuable upon the assumed conversion of Convertible Notes Payable, Convertible Preferred Stock and the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses attributable to common stockholders are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of Common Stock Equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

The Company incurred a net loss attributable to common stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, therefore all Common Stock Equivalents were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share computations. The basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share were $(0.07) and $(0.04) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Potential Common Stock Equivalents as of June 30, 2022 totaled 32,330,948 shares of Common Stock, which included 3,119,830 shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Promissory Notes, 7,721,667 shares of Common Stock underlying the conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 19,947,451 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding warrants and 1,542,000 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding stock options.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Going Concern–

 

We have had a history of losses and have generated little or no operating revenues for a number of years, as we concentrated on the development of our Nicaraguan Concessions, which was a long-term, high-risk/reward exploration project in an otherwise unproven part of the world. We abandoned the Concessions in early 2020 due to the challenging economic and political issues in Nicaragua and the oil and gas industry in general. Subsequent to the abandoning of the Nicaraguan Concessions, we began assessing various opportunities and strategic alternatives involving the acquisition, exploration and development of gas and oil properties in the United States, including the possibility of acquiring businesses or assets that provide support services for the production of oil and gas in the United States. As a result, we have entered into the: 1) Central Kansas Uplift properties, 2) the Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out and the 3) the GMDOC, LLC venture.

 

56
 

 

The planned development of the development projects previously identified will require us to raise additional capital to accomplish our operating plan, which cannot be assured. Historically, we financed our operations through the issuance of equity and various short and long-term debt financing that contained some level of detachable warrants to provide the holders with a level of equity participation.

 

Capital Raised

 

Historically, we have raised funds through various equity and debt instruments through private transactions. The following summarizes the sources of significant liquidity raised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021:

 

  

Six months ended

June 30, 2022

 
Capital raised:     
Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes together with the issuance of 425,000 shares of common stock  $850,000 
Issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with detachable common stock purchase warrants  500,000 
Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes with detachable common stock purchase warrants   350,000 
      
Total capital raised  $1,700,000 

 

   Year ended December 31, 2021 
Capital raised:     
Issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with detachable common stock purchase warrants  $1,929,089 
Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes with detachable common stock purchase warrants   650,000 
      
Total capital raised  $2,579,089 

 

The Company was able to raise liquidity during 2022 and 2021 through the issuance of debt and equity in private transactions with accredited investors. These financial instruments generally require the Company to register the Common Stock underlying the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the common stock purchase warrants and the convertible notes. These issuances generally provide the holders with a right to participate in future capital raises and require their approval for the future issuance of securities at rates less than their purchase price. The holders have also agreed that the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the convertible promissory notes and the exercise of the underlying warrants are generally subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that each holder of the financial instruments individually may not convert the underlying Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible notes or exercise the underlying warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in any of the holders individually being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the holders, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.

 

We will likely continue to issue such convertible instruments with detachable warrants to acquire Common Stock to fund our operational and capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2022.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We have completed the acquisition of the following oil and gas development projects that represent our business strategy for current and future operations of AMGAS:

 

Central Kansas Uplift - On April 1, 2021 we completed the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties, for a purchase price of $900,000. The Central Kansas Uplift Properties include the production and mineral rights/leasehold for oil and gas properties, subject to overriding royalties to third parties, in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation covering over 11,000 contiguous acres. The purchase of the Properties included the existing production equipment, infrastructure and ownership of 11 square miles of existing 3-D seismic data on the acreage. The Properties include a horizontal producing well, horizontal saltwater injection well, conventional saltwater disposal well and two conventional vertical producing wells, which currently produce from the Reagan Sand Zone with an approximate depth of 3,600 feet.

 

We commenced rework of the existing production wells after completion of the acquisition of the Properties and have performed testing and evaluation of the existence of noble gas reserves on the Properties including helium, argon and other rare earth minerals/gases. Testing of the Properties for noble gas reserves has provided encouraging but not conclusive results and the Company has yet to determine the possibility of commercializing the noble gas reserves on the Properties. The Company plans to assess the Properties’ existing oil and gas reserves while continuing the evaluation of the existence of new oil and gas zones and other mineral reserves and specifically the noble gas reserves that the Properties may hold.

 

57
 

 

Hugoton Gas Field Farm-Out - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% participation in a Farmout Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC as the Farmee and Scout Energy Partners as Farmor with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. AMGAS has joined three other parties to explore for and develop potential oil, natural gas, noble gases and brine minerals on the properties underlying the Farmout Agreement (collectively the “Hugoton JV”).

 

The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells, with the first exploratory well spudded on April 28, 2022. The Hugoton JV will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. The Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton JV with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, which will enable the Hugoton JV to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices.

 

The Hugoton JV also acquired the right to all brine minerals subject to a ten percent (10%) royalty to Scout, across Finney and Haskell Counties. Brine minerals are harvested from the formation water produced from active, and to be drilled, oil and gas wells and may include a variety of dissolved minerals including bromine and iodine. The Hugoton JV plans to target brine minerals with commercial quantities of bromine and iodine. AMGAS through the Hugoton JV is currently developing proprietary technology to recover brine minerals, particularly with respect to bromine, which is well underway and has demonstrated recovery efficiency and is expected to be available for use in existing and future development wells.

 

The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate its unconventional theory of where substantial oil, natural gas and noble gases may be present in the Hugoton Gas Field. The Hugoton JV believes that its unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field. The initial well in which AMGAS has acquired a 40% participation together with three other venture partners was spud on May 7, 2022 with production casing set after testing and completion logs identified at least two potential zones with substantial gas and helium reserves.

 

The initial well was completed upon the successful perforation across two lower intervals of the Chase group of formations. The fracture stimulation was completed in two stages during June 2022. The well is in process of being connected to the pipeline as of June 30, 2022.

 

Investment in GMDOC, LLC - On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Operating Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired 17 (or 60.7143%) of 28 limited liability membership interests in GMDOC, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,037,500, and was subsequently admitted as a member of GMDOC.

 

With respect to its cash capital contribution, the Company paid a non-refundable cash deposit for the membership interests in the amount of $50,000 on May 3, 2022. The Company paid the remainder of the cash contribution for the membership interests, or $800,000, on May 16, 2022. The remainder of the Company’s capital contribution, or $3,187,500, was financed by the Bank Loan (as defined below).

 

GMDOC had previously acquired 70% of the working interests in certain oil and gas leases from Castelli Energy, L.L.C. The GMDOC Leases cover approximately 10,000 acres located in Southern Kansas near the Oklahoma border. The GMDOC Leases currently produce approximately 100 barrels of oil per day and 2.0 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on a gross basis.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred losses from operations, has a net stockholders’ deficit, incurred net cash used in operating activities and has a significant working capital deficit as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company must raise substantial amounts of debt and equity capital from other sources in the future in order to fund (i) the development of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties acquired on April 1, 2021; (ii) our obligations for exploration and development under the Hugoton Farmout Agreement; (iii) normal day-to-day operations and corporate overhead; and (iv) outstanding debt and other financial obligations as they become due. These are substantial operational and financial issues that must be successfully addressed during 2022 and beyond.

 

58
 

 

The Company has made substantial progress in resolving many of its existing financial obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The Company will have significant financial commitments to execute its planned exploration and development of the Central Kansas Uplift Properties and the Hugoton Gas Field. The Company may find it necessary to raise substantial amounts of debt or equity capital to fund such exploration and development activities and may seek offers from industry operators and other third parties for interests in the Properties in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or other joint venture arrangement. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such new funding or be able to reach agreements with industry operators and other third parties or on what terms.

 

Due to the uncertainties related to the foregoing matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financials are issued. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash and cash equivalents balances-

 

As of June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents with an aggregate balance of $107,210, a decrease from a balance of $260,590 as of December 31, 2021. Summarized immediately below and discussed in more detail in the subsequent subsections are the main elements of the $153,380 net decrease in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

 

  Operating activities: $143,253 of net cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $143,253 and $348,641 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, an improvement of $205,388. The improvement was primarily the result of the increase in the discount amortization on debt, an increase in accounts payable and the increase in non-cash stock compensation reflected in our cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

 

  Investing activities: $1,179,977 of net cash used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $1,179,977 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $900,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We utilized funds during 2022 to acquire our membership interest in GMDOC, LLC and to drill the initial exploratory well pursuant to the Hugoton Gas Field participation agreement. We utilized funds during 2021 to acquire the Central Kansas Uplift Properties.
       
  Financing activities: $1,169,850 of net cash provided by financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,169,850 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $1,415,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We raised a total of $1,200,000 from the issuance of convertible notes and $500,000 from the issuance of Series A convertible preferred stock with detachable warrants. These financing cash inflows were offset by the repayment of $425,000 principal balance of convertible notes and the payment of dividends totaling $105,150 on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the 2022 period. The Company raised $1,929,089 through the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which was offset by the repayment of $453,539 principal balance of convertible debt and the payment of dividends totaling $60,528 on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the 2021 period.

 

59
 

 

The net result of these activities was a $153,380 decrease in cash and cash equivalents from $260,590 as of December 31, 2021 to $107,210 as of June 30, 2022.

 

Commitments:

 

Capital Expenditures. We had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2022. However, we are required by the Hugoton Gas Field Farmout Agreement to drill at least three additional gas production wells in 2022/2023 in order to maintain the participation agreement. We have drilled and completed the first Hugoton Gas Field production well in June 2022 which is awaiting connection to the pipeline to begin production. We estimate that the expenses related to the drilling program to be approximately $300,000 for drilling and completion of each additional exploratory well.

The information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved as set forth in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

USNG Letter Agreement - The Company is required to pay USNG a $8,000 monthly cash fee beginning at the onset of commercial helium or minerals production and sales, subject to certain thresholds. Such monthly fees will become due and payable for any month that AMGAS receives cash receipts in excess of $25,000 derived from the sale of noble gases and/or rare earth elements/minerals. The Company has not yet achieved the $25,000 cash receipts threshold, therefore there has been no payment or accrual liability relative to this cash fee provision through June 30, 2022.

 

Farmout Agreement to Explore and Develop Unconventional Gas and Brine Materials in the Hugoton Gas Field - On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired a 40% interest in a Farm-Out Agreement by and between Sunflower Exploration, LLC and Scout Energy Partners with regards to its oil and gas interests in the Hugoton Gas Field, located in Haskell and Finney Counties, Kansas. The Farmout Agreement covers drilling and completion of up to 50 wells and the Company has joined three other entities to develop the oil and gas interests subject to the Farm-Out Agreement (the “Hugoton Farm-Out Venture”).

 

60
 

 

The Hugoton Farm-Out Venture will utilize Scout’s existing infrastructure assets, including water disposal, gas gathering and helium processing. In addition, the Farmout Agreement provides the Hugoton Farm-Out Venture with rights to take in-kind and market its share of helium at the tailgate of Jayhawk Gas Plant, located in Grant County, Kansas, which will enable the Hugoton Farm-Out Venture to market and sell the helium produced at prevailing market prices. The first exploratory well commenced on May 7, 2022 near Garden City, Kansas with a goal to evaluate and test an unconventional theory regarding potential new reserves of gas and helium contained in the Hugoton Gas Field. The target zones and the unconventional theory has not previously been targeted for exploration by historical operations in the field.

 

Inflation and Seasonality

 

Inflation has had a material effect on us during the past six months ended June 30, 2022; and we do believe that inflation will continue to significantly impact our business during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond. We do not believe that our business is seasonal in nature.

 

Our revenue from the sale of oil and gas has been substantially impacted by inflation, the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the world supply of oil and gas and thereby increasing the average WTI crude oil price. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

 

In addition, our oil and gas lease operating expenses have been substantially impacted by inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine which has restricted the supply of production pipe and other materials used in the drilling and rework of oil and gas wells. In addition, experienced oil and gas service professionals have been in high demand in the oil and gas service sector and thereby increasing the cost of oil and gas well services. We expect this trend to continue during the remainder of 2022 and perhaps beyond.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our condensed financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the condensed financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Note 1 – Going Concern Analysis - In accordance with ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we are required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that our financials are issued. When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern it should consider whether its plans to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables user of financial statements to understand the principal events that raised the substantial doubt, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events, and management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We performed the analysis and our overall assessment was there were conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within the next year, but such doubt was not adequately mitigated by our plans to address the substantial doubt as disclosed in Note 1: Going Concern.

 

Note 2 – Oil and Gas Properties and Equipment – The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of the Central Kansas Uplift and the estimated useful lives assigned to the related equipment purchased.

 

In addition, the accounting for, and disclosure of, oil and gas producing activities require that we choose between two GAAP alternatives: the full cost method or the successful efforts method. We adopted and use the full cost method of accounting, which involves capitalizing all exploration, exploitation, development and acquisition costs. Once we incur costs, they are recorded in the depletable pool of proved properties or in unproved properties, collectively, the full cost pool. Our unproved property costs, which include unproved oil and gas properties, properties under development, and major development projects, were zero through June 30, 2022, and are not subject to depletion. We review our unproved oil and gas property costs on a quarterly basis to assess for impairment and transfer unproved costs to proved properties as a result of extensions or discoveries from drilling operations or determination that no proved reserves are attributable to such costs. We expect these costs to be evaluated in one to seven years and transferred to the depletable portion of the full cost pool during that time. The full cost pool is comprised of intangible drilling costs, lease and well equipment and exploration and development costs incurred plus acquired proved and unproved leaseholds.

 

61
 

 

Note 3 – Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary – GMDOC, LLC - The Company’s Investment in unconsolidated subsidiary - GMDOC, LLC requires that the Company assess its control over the operations of GMDOC, LLC.

 

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee, GMDOC, LLC. Management’s judgment regarding its level of influence over the operations of GMDOC, LLC included considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest, legal form of the investee, its’ lack of participation in policy-making decisions and its’ lack of control over the day-to-day operations of GMDOC, LLC.

 

Note 4 – Debt Obligations – The Company has issued various debt and equity securities that require the Company to estimate the fair value of the debt, its embedded features and any related detachable warrants or other equity-related securities issued. Management must make significant assumption/estimates in order to allocate the proceeds of the issuance of the convertible debt securities between its debt and equity components.

 

Note 6 – Stock Options - The Company follows the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options based on estimated fair values. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.

 

Note 8 – Warrants - The Company has issued various debt and equity securities (including detachable warrants) that require the Company to estimate the fair value of the debt, its embedded features and any related detachable warrants or other equity-related securities issued. Management must make significant assumption/estimates in order to allocate the proceeds of the issuance of the convertible debt securities between its debt and equity components.

 

Note 9 – Income Taxes - Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the control objectives, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in assuring that financial statement presentation and disclosure are in conformity with those which are required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

 

62
 

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The information regarding certain legal proceedings in which American Noble Gas, Inc. (“AMGAS”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is involved is set forth in Note 12 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements, entitled “Commitments and Contingencies – Litigation”, which is included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and such information is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

June 2022 Private Placement of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock and June Warrants

 

On June 15, 2022 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investors providing for an aggregate investment of $500,000 by the investor for the issuance by the Company of (i) 5,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with a stated/liquidation value of $100 per share; and (ii) warrants, with a term of five and a half (5.5) years, exercisable six (6) months after issuance, to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, subject to customary adjustments thereunder. The Series A Convertible Preferred stock is convertible into an aggregate of up to 1,666,667 shares of Common Stock. The holder of the warrants may exercise them by paying the applicable cash exercise price or, if there is not an effective registration statement for the sale of the Warrant Shares within six (6) months following the Closing Date, as defined in the Warrants, by exercising on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula provided in the warrant. Net proceeds from the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock totaled $500,000. The Company used the proceeds of the June 2022 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock offering to pay-off the outstanding convertible notes payable (See Note 4) and for general working capital purposes.

 

The Company also entered into that certain registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement within forty-five (45) days following the closing of the acquisition of the Properties which occurred on June 15, 2022 to register the conversion shares and the warrant shares. The Company is to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within forty-five (45) days after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the closing of the offering which occurred on June 15, 2022.

 

The holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap that limits the investors’ ability to convert its June 2022 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and/or exercise its common stock purchase warrants. Such limitation can be raised to 9.99% upon 60 days advance notice to the Company.

 

The Company has accrued preferred dividends totaling $2,055 and $-0- relative to the June 2022 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which was charged to additional paid in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

The Company did not engage in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of the securities. The investor who participated in the Preferred Stock offering represented that they are either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act, and purchased the Securities for investment and not with a view to distribution. The securities were issued and sold by the Company in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

8% Convertible Promissory Notes Payable due June 29, 2022 (in default)

 

AMGAS entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the Company’s 8% Convertible Promissory Notes Payable due June 29, 2022 (the “May 2022 Notes”), with an aggregate principal face amount of $850,000. The Notes are, subject to certain conditions, convertible into 2,125,000 shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price per share of $0.40. The Company also issued an aggregate of 425,000 shares of Common Stock as commitment shares (“Commitment Shares”) to the Investors as additional consideration for the purchase of the May 2022 Notes. The Commitment Shares, and together with the May 2022 Notes and Conversion Shares, collectively, the “Securities”.

The conversion of the May 2022 Notes are each subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that the Investors may not convert the Notes to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in an Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the Investor, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for a period of twelve (12) months after the closing date the Investors have a right to participate in any issuance of the common stock, common stock equivalents, conventional debt, or a combination of such securities and/or debt, up to an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the subsequent financing.

 

The Company also entered into that certain registration rights side letter, pursuant to which in the event the Company’s shares of common stock have not commenced trading on the NYSE American; the Nasdaq Capital Market; the Nasdaq Global Market; the Nasdaq Global Select Market; or the New York Stock Exchange, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the closing date, and, thereafter, the Company agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale, by the Company, of common stock underlying the May 2022 Notes in the event that such notes are not repaid prior to such 120-day period.

 

The Company paid half of the May 2022 Notes principal balance upon its maturity on June 29, 2022 and the remaining half remains due and payable and is therefore in technical default. The parties are negotiating a resolution to such technical default including an extension and a roll-over of the principal into other Company securities, although there can be no assurance that the parties will reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
