The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

The Company has a calendar year end for reporting purposes.

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 ( the “financial statements”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Interim result are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation (continued

will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, or “WEED”. The Company's headquarters are located in Tucson, Arizona and its operations are primarily within the United States, with minimal operations in Australia.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is using the revenue recognition standard ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, and using the cumulative effect (modified retrospective) approach. Modified retrospective adoption requires entities to apply the standard retrospectively to the most current period presented in the financial statements, requiring the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. No cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings was recorded as the Company’s has no historical revenue. The impact of the adoption of the new standard was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company did not earn revenue during the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. When the Company earns revenue, it will be recognized in accordance with FASB ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The primary change under the new guidance is the requirement to report the allowance for uncollectible accounts as a reduction in net revenue as opposed to bad debt expense, a component of operating expenses. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, other than additional financial statement disclosures. The guidance requires increased disclosures, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company operates as one reportable segment.

Sales on fixed price contracts are recorded when services are earned, the earnings process is complete or substantially complete, and the revenue is measurable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue from sales in which payment has been received, but the earnings process has not occurred. Sales have not yet commenced.

Advertising and Promotion

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. The Company recognized $0 of advertising and promotion costs for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company acquired a gas well on February 23, 2023, with a cost of $41,400. We are required to record a liability for the present value of our asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) to plug and abandon inactive-non-producing wells, facilities, and equipment, and to restore the land at the end of oil production operations. As a result, we accrued the full value of the cost amounting to $35,800 for plug and abandon non-operating well on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Expenses are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated payables are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting transaction gains and losses are recorded in the statement of income in the period incurred.

Assets and liabilities of those operations are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates on the transaction date for the reporting period. Translation adjustments, if any, are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gain (loss) on foreign currency exchange rate was $17 and ($113) for three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. For all significant foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency.
