NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Laredo Oil, Inc. (“the Company”).

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2008 under the name of “Laredo Mining, Inc.” with authorized common stock of 90,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value and authorized preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value. On October 21, 2009 the name was changed to “Laredo Oil, Inc.” During May 2023, the Company’s board of directors voted to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 120,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value, which increase was confirmed by the holders of a majority of the shares then outstanding.

The Company is an oil exploration and production (“E&P”) company primarily engaged in acquisition and exploration efforts for mineral properties. From its inception in March 2008 through October 2009, the Company was primarily engaged in acquisition and exploration efforts for mineral properties. Beginning in October 2009, the Company shifted its focus to locating mature oil fields with the intention of acquiring those oil fields and recovering “stranded” oil using enhanced recovery methods. From June 14, 2011 through December 31, 2020, the Company was a management services company, managing the acquisition and operation of mature oil fields, focused on the recovery of “stranded” oil from those mature fields using enhanced oil recovery methods for its then sole customer, Stranded Oil Resources Corporation, or SORC, then a wholly owned subsidiary of Alleghany Corporation (“Alleghany”). On December 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alleghany under which the Company purchased all the issued and outstanding shares of SORC. At that time there were no ongoing operations being conducted by SORC.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement with Alleghany, the Company also entered into a Consulting Agreement, under which Alleghany paid the Company an aggregate of approximately $1.245 million during calendar year 2021 in exchange for the Company providing Alleghany with one to three years of consulting services from certain of the Company’s employees, including Mark See, its Chief Executive Officer.

As of November 30, 2024, the Company has acquired 45,766 gross acres and 38,153 net acres of mineral property interests in Montana. In connection with securing this acreage in Montana, Lustre Oil Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Lustre”), entered into an Acquisition and Participation Agreement, and subsequent amendments (collectively the “Erehwon APA”), with Erehwon Oil & Gas, LLC and Laris Oil & Gas, LLC (collectively, “Erehwon”) to acquire oil and gas interests and drill, complete, re-enter, re-complete, sidetrack, and equip wells in Valley County, Daniels County and Roosevelt County, Montana. The Erehwon APA specifies calculations for royalty interests and working interests for the first ten well completions, the first ten well recompletions and for all additional wells and recompletions thereafter. Lustre, as the Operator named in the Erehwon APA, will acquire initial mineral leases and pay 100% of the costs and the split between Erehwon and Lustre will be 20%/80%. Under the Erehwon APA, Lustre will fund 100% of the construction costs of the first ten wells and the first ten completions. Until “payout”, as defined in the Erehwon APA, is attained, the split between Erehwon and Lustre will be 10% to Erehwon and 90% to Lustre. After payout, the split will be 20% to Erehwon and 80% to Lustre. Any additional wells funded under the Erehwon APA will be funded 100% by Lustre, with a 20% undivided working interest held by Erehwon;. Royalty expense will consist of the sum of royalty interest to the landowner and an overriding royalty interest to two individuals (the “Prospect Generators”), not to exceed 6% nor be less than 3%. For the first ten new wells and first ten recompletions, the Prospect Generators will receive a total amount equal to 5% of the cost of each completed and producing well.

Lustre and Erehwon entered into an Exploration and Development Agreement, dated July 18, 2023 (the “Development Agreement”), with Texakoma Exploration & Production Company (“Texakoma”), for the exploration and development of the “Lustre Field Prospect,” as described in the Development Agreement. Lustre and Erehwon are parties to an existing Acquisition and Participation Agreement, under which those parties agreed to acquire certain oil and gas interests, and drill, complete, re-enter, re-complete, sidetrack, and equip wells, in certain counties in Montana.

Under the terms of a Development Agreement, Texakoma agreed to pay Lustre and Erehwon (jointly, “LOC”), the following amounts: (i) $175,000 on or before July 21, 2023; and (ii) another $175,000 upon the “spudding” of the initial test well subject to rig availability. Upon the spudding of that test well, LOC was required to deliver to Texakoma a partial assignment of an 85% working interest in the oil and gas leases covering the first two initial drilling and spacing units. Under the Development Agreement the first payment was paid by Texakoma in August 2023 and the Company received the second payment of $175,000 in September 2023.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - continued

The two test wells were successfully drilled and Texakoma paid 100% of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of the wells. Lustre and Erehwon jointly have an undivided 15% working interest, carried through the tanks, in those two wells. In March 2024, Texakoma exercised its option to participate in the development of the remainder of the Lustre Field Prospect. By exercising its option, Texakoma agreed to drill eight additional wells, with Lustre and Erehwon having a 15% working interest carried through the tanks, and to pay Lustre $706,603 over a four month period, for an 85% leasehold interest in the next eight drill sites and a 50% leasehold interest in the balance of the Lustre Field Prospect acreage. As of May 31, 2024, Texakoma paid an additional $328,681 in accordance with the contract. The remaining amounts due were paid by the end of first fiscal quarter 2025. The working and net revenue interest in any wells drilled subsequent to the first ten wells will be shared by Texakoma and Lustre and Erehwon, jointly, on a 50:50 basis. As of November 30, 2024, Texakoma was readying three wells for production pending operational readiness of an acquired saltwater disposal well.

Following the Texakoma transaction, the Company retains a 100% leasehold interest and full control of an additional 30,556 net mineral acres in northeastern Montana at the western edge of the Williston Basin.

In December 2023, the Company entered into a Participation Agreement, through Hell Creek Crude, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Erehwon, and various accredited investors. The Participation Agreement provided the Company with $2,034,000 to acquire certain leases and to drill a development well in the Midfork Field in Montana. Several of the investors also hold $575,000 of the Company’s convertible debt, plus accrued interest of $73,317, which total indebtedness is included as investments under the Participation Agreement. Until the total debt of $2,682,317, plus any additional capital calls is repaid to the various investors under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the net working interest payments from the Participation Agreement will be split between the various investors, on one hand, and HCC and Erehwon, on the other hand, on a 90%/10% basis. After the payment to the investors on their investments, the split between the investors, on one hand, and HCC and Erehwon, on the other hand, will be on a 50%/50% basis. After the development well is drilled under the Participation Agreement, the investors will have the option to invest in up to two additional wells in the field.

The Company has also raised $1,875,000 of investments from accredited investors in our wholly-owned subsidiary West Fork Resources, LLC (“West Fork”) which was formed to explore and develop oil reserves in portions of over 30,000 acres of mineral rights located north of the Fort Peck Reservation at the western edge of the Williston Basin. The Company is in the process of raising $7.5 million to drill three exploratory wells by selling units of West Fork to investors.

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Subsequent to the initial issuance of the Company’s 2023 annual financial statements on September 23, 2023, the Company’s management reconsidered the estimate previously applied in its valuation of the Olfert 11-4 exploratory well, which was drilled in the spring and summer of 2022. The well encountered salt-water in amounts making it uneconomical to operate due to the lack of a proximate salt-water disposal well and was shut-in during September 2022 pending gaining access to a closer disposal well. Two years later, the well remains shut-in as the Company has yet to economically solve the water disposal issue. Until a solution is found, the well is unevaluated and written down, although the Company continues to plan on developing the well if feasible. After experiencing continued losses in its equity method investment in Cat Creek Holdings, LLC, the Company has reconsidered its valuation of the entity and written it down to zero.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has routinely incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit, and historically was dependent on one customer for its revenue. There is no assurance that in the future any financing will be available to meet the Company’s needs. This situation raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include an ongoing effort to (a) controlling overhead and expenses; (b) raising funds connected with specific well development; and (c) raising funds through notes payable and convertible debt to expand and fund property acquisitions exploration and development as well as maintaining operations. The Company has worked to attract and retain key personnel with significant experience in the industry. At the same time, to control costs, the Company has required several of its personnel to multi-task and cover a wider range of responsibilities to manage the Company’s headcount. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 4 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Laredo Oil and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

Equity Method Investment - Investments classified as equity method consist of investments in companies in which the Company can exercise significant influence but not control. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recorded at cost, then the Company’s proportional share of investee’s underlying net income or loss is recorded as a component of “other income” with a corresponding increase or decrease to the carrying value of the investment. Distributions received from the investee reduce the Company’s carrying value of the investment. These investments are evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Based on uncertain economic benefits in the future as evidenced by several years of non-profitable results, the Company impaired its investments in Cat Creek Holdings, LLC and Olfert No. 11-4 Holdings, LLC as of May 31, 2023 to reflect no current value.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share - Basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings/(loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As the Company realized a net loss for the three- and nine-months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, it did not include potentially dilutive securities in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.

Revenue recognition - The Company recognized revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Crude oil revenue is recognized when we have transferred control of crude oil production to the purchaser. We consider the transfer of control to have occurred when the purchaser has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the crude oil production. We record revenues based on an estimate of the volumes delivered at estimated prices as determined by the applicable sales agreement. We estimate our sales volumes based on company-measured volume readings. We then adjust our crude oil sales in subsequent periods based on the data received from our purchasers that reflects actual volumes delivered and prices received. We receive payment for sales one to two months after actual delivery has occurred. The differences in sales estimates and actual sales are recorded one to two months later. Where the Company is not the operator, revenue from oil and gas production is recognized based on sales date as reported to the Company by the operators of oil production facilities in which the company has an interest.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash - All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024. At times, the Company maintains cash balances deposited at its financial institution that exceed FDIC insured limits.

Laredo entered a Participation Agreement in exchange for funding for well development costs. The contract requires that participants pay Hell Creek Crude LLC the contract price upon execution of the agreement. The funds received in advance of the drilling of a well from a working interest participant are held for the expressed purpose of drilling, completing and equipping a well. If something changes, the Company may designate these funds for a substitute well. Under certain conditions, a portion of these funds may be required to be returned to a participant. The funds are used to satisfy the well development costs. Laredo classifies these funds prior to commencement of well development as restricted cash based on guidance codified as under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-50-8. In the event that progress payments are made from these funds, they are recorded as Oil and Gas Acquisition Costs.

Also included in Restricted cash is $1,875,000 of investments from accredited investors in our wholly-owned subsidiary West Fork Resources, LLC (“West Fork”) which was formed to develop and find oil reserves in portions of our over 30,000 acres of mineral rights located north of the Fort Peck Reservation at the western edge of the Williston Basin. The Company is in the process of raising $7.5 million to drill three exploratory wells by selling units of West Fork. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising the funds, monies will be returned to the investors.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheet that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the statement of cash flows.

	November 30, 2024		May 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,828	$	127,126
Restricted cash		1,877,107		1,863,063
Total	$	1,883,935	$	1,990,189

Prepaid expenses and other current assets - Prepaid expenses and other current assets are primarily comprised of prepaid legal fees which are recorded as expense upon work performance, prepaid directors’ and officers’ insurance which is recorded and amortized to expense over the 12-month contract life and advance payments prior to work being performed.

Property and equipment - The carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment represents the cost incurred to acquire the property and equipment, net of any impairments. For business combinations, property and equipment cost is based on the fair values at the acquisition date. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives of five to seven years are used for vehicles and machinery. Realization of the carrying value of property and equipment is reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets are determined to be impaired if a forecast of undiscounted estimated future net operating cash flows directly related to the asset, including disposal value, if any, is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If any asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed in the period incurred. During 2024, the Company disposed drilling equipment for $175,000 which had been previously impaired to $0.

The depreciation recorded for the six months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively was $14,496 and $8,964.

Schedule of Property and equipment, net

	November 30,		May 31,
	2024		2024
Vehicles and equipment	$	193,766	$	193,766
Less: Accumulated depreciation		71,873		58,267

Property and equipment, net	$	121,893	$	135,499

Asset retirement obligations - The Company records a liability for Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) associated with its oil and gas wells when the legal obligation arises. The corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset and included in the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the properties. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value.

Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.

Oil and Gas Acquisition Costs – Oil and gas acquisition and drilling costs include expenditures representing investments in unproved and unevaluated properties and include non-producing leasehold, leasehold or drilling interest costs, and costs to drill one exploratory well. Exploratory drilling costs are deferred until the outcome of the well is known. If an exploratory well finds proved reserves, the deferred costs are transferred to the company’s Wells and Related Equipment and Facilities accounts.

Oil and gas acquisition and drilling costs	$	2,843,477	$	610,663

Debt issue costs - Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt and amortized over the term of the related debt.

Fair value of financial instruments - Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

	●	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities in active markets and have the highest priority.

	●	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

	●	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the financial asset or liability and have the lowest priority.

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value, due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximates their fair value due to immaterial changes in market interest rates and the Company’s credit risk since issuance of the instruments or due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 5 – RECENT AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 6 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Included in Cash and Cash Equivalents is $1,875,000 of investments from accredited investors in our wholly-owned subsidiary West Fork Resources, LLC (“West Fork”) which was formed to develop and find oil reserves in portions of our over 30,000 acres of mineral rights located north of the Fort Peck Reservation at the western edge of the Williston Basin. The Company is in the process of raising $7.5 million to drill three exploratory wells by selling units of West Fork. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising the funds, monies will be returned to the investors.

NOTE 7—ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS

We account for our asset retirement obligations in accordance with Accounting for Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. This requires that legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets be recognized at fair value when incurred and capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized asset is depreciated over the useful life of the long-lived asset.

NOTE 7—ACCOUNTING FOR ASSET RETIREMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS - continued

In the absence of quoted market prices, we estimate the fair value of our asset retirement obligations using present value techniques, in which estimates of future cash flows associated with retirement activities are discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. Our estimated liability could change significantly if actual costs vary from assumptions or if governmental regulations change significantly.

The cash flow estimate for the asset retirement obligation is based upon the assumption of a 25-year expected life of the well, discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 10%.

As of May 31, 2024 the Company’s asset retirement obligations were recorded in connection with the Olfert 11-4 well as well as the working interest in the Texacoma wells. The Company established an additional asset retirement obligation in July 2024, when it commenced drilling the Reddig well in the Hell Creek Crude oil field. The asset retirement obligation totaled $247,919 and $157,394 as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 8 – PAYROLL LIABILITIES

The Company has accrued payroll liabilities to record amounts owed under employee contracts but not paid when due. The Company has been cash constrained for most of its existence and has asked key officers to defer portions of salary until Company cash flows improve or there is a liquidity event. Cash amounts paid are subtracted from contractual obligations and the remaining amounts due are recorded as payroll liabilities. Both the Company’s CEO and CFO have agreed to defer salaries owed under their contracts and are recorded as payroll liabilities.

NOTE 9 – DEFERRED WELL DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND DEPOSIT FOR WELL DEVELOPMENT

The Company records investor investments in individual oil wells as a liability totaling $4,833,077 and $4,551,577 at November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively. Several agreements involving net working interests stipulate that a high percentage of oil revenue is distributed to investors until the original investment is recovered. The related cash generated is distributed to investors, the liability balance declines proportionally until the original investment is recovered. Thereafter, most contracts specify that the distribution ratio reverts to a 50/50 split. The balance recorded shows amounts invested in the Olfert 11-4 well and the Reddig 11-21 well located in Valley County, Montana.

The Company has recorded $1,875,000 advanced by accredited investors to West Fork as a Deposit for Well Development. These amounts will be returned to investors if the project is not funded in its entirety.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The estimated fair value of oil and gas properties and the asset retirement obligation incurred in the drilling of oil and gas wells or assumed in the acquisitions of additional oil and gas working interests are based on an estimated discount cash flow model and market assumptions. The significant Level 3 assumptions used in the calculation of estimated discounted cash flow model include future commodity prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and gas reserves, expectations for timing and amount of future development, operating and asset retirement costs, projections of future rates of production, expected recovery rates and risk adjusted discount rates. See Note 3 for additional information regarding oil and gas property acquisitions.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - continued

Laredo estimates the fair value of asset retirement obligations based on the projected discounted future cash outflows required to settle abandonment and restoration liabilities. Such an estimate requires assumptions and judgments regarding the existence of liabilities, the amount and timing of cash outflows required to settle the liability, what constitutes adequate restoration, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, and consideration of changes in legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. Abandonment and restoration cost estimates are determined in conjunction with Laredo’s reserve engineers based on historical information regarding costs incurred to abandon and restore similar well sites, information regarding current market conditions and costs, and knowledge of subject well sites and properties. Asset retirement obligation fair value measurements in the current period were Level 3 fair value measurements. As further described in Note 5, the Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations are not measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.

NOTE 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures (“FASB ASC 850”) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the consolidated financial statements can evaluate their significance.

Share Based Compensation

No option grants were made during the six-months ending November 30, 2024. There were 21,100,000 shares underlying option grants as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024 at a weighted average exercise price of $0.08 per share.

Option grants for the purchase of 15,075,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.06 per share were made during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The grants were issued under the Laredo Oil, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan once the plan became effective with the filing on Form S-8 dated June 14, 2023. Except for an option grant for the purchase of 1,100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.38 per share, the remaining 4,825,000 granted options to purchase common stock under the Laredo Oil, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan were cancelled.

An option grant for the remaining 900,000 shares of common stock was mad during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted under our stock incentive plan.

The grant date fair value of the stock option grants during the six-months ending November 30, 2023 totaled $956,252. The weighted average assumptions used in calculating these values were based on the following:

Schedule of Fair Value Assumptions

		November 30, 2023
Risk-free interest rate		4.07%
Expected dividend yield		0%
Expected volatility		281.5%
Expected life of options		5.0 years

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a bond with a similar term. The Company does not anticipate declaring dividends in the foreseeable future. Volatility is estimated based on the historical share prices over the same period as the expected life of the option. The Company uses the simplified method for determining the expected term of its stock options.

Share based compensation for stock option grants totaling $235,142 and $956,252 is recorded in general, selling and administrative expense during the three and six months ended November 30, 2023, respectively.

In December 2022, January 2023 and February 2023, the Company issued three additional promissory notes totaling $250,000. During June 2023 and August 2023, the Company entered into an additional $85,000 of secured convertible promissory notes increasing the aggregate principal issued to $625,000. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may issue additional promissory notes, up to the $7,500,000 total principal amount. The promissory notes accrue interest on the outstanding principal sum at the rate of 12.0% per annum, payable quarterly starting September 30, 2023, and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share. The notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement have a maturity date of September 30, 2025. In January 2024, noteholders contributed $575,000 of their notes plus accrued interest of $73,695 to the Participation Agreement pertaining to the three well drilling program in the Midfork Field in Montana (See Footnote 1). The notes were exchanged for a net working interest in the well and will participate in cash flows produced by the first well drilled. In the event of a dry hole, the notes will be reinstated at $648,204 and accrue interest on that amount thereafter. On July 1, 2024, a promissory note totaling $50,000 was extinguished and exchanged for 100,000 shares of Laredo common stock pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. As of November 30, 2024, no notes were outstanding.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, the Company entered into two Loan Agreements with Alleghany Capital for a combined available borrowing limit of $350,000. The notes accrued interest on the outstanding principal of $350,000 at the rate of 6% per annum, with an amended due date of December 31, 2020.

In connection with the SORC Purchase Transaction, the notes were amended, restated and consolidated into one note including all accrued interest through December 31, 2020, for a total of $631,434 (the “Senior Consolidated Note”) with a maturity date of June 30, 2022. The Senior Consolidated Note requires any stock issuances for cash be utilized to pay down the outstanding loan balance unless written consent is obtained from Alleghany. As part of the SORC Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to secure repayment of the Senior Consolidated Note with certain equipment and to reduce the note balance with any proceeds received from any sales of such equipment. During the five months ending May 31, 2021, the Company repaid $13,500 of the Senior Consolidated Note upon the sale of certain equipment. The note bore no interest until January 1, 2022 whereupon the interest rate increased to 5% per annum through maturity. Principal with all accrued and unpaid interest is due at maturity. In connection with the SORC acquisition purchase price allocation, the Company recorded a debt discount totaling $30,068 in recognition of imputed interest on the Senior Consolidated Note, to be amortized over the first year of the note term. The debt discount has been fully amortized as of December 31, 2021. In August 2022, the Company entered an amendment to the Senior Consolidated Note whereby the maturity date of the loan was extended to December 31, 2023 in exchange for an interest rate to 8% per annum commencing July 1, 2022. Further, the revenue royalty as defined in the Purchase Agreement increased from 5% to 6% as the loan was not paid prior to December 31, 2022. As of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, the Senior Consolidated Note is recorded as current and remains outstanding.

On April 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Note (the “Note”) with IBERIABANK for $1,233,656 pursuant to the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (“CARES Act”) In June 2020, the Flexibility Act which amended the CARES Act was signed into law. Pursuant to the Flexibility Act, the Note continues to accrue interest on the outstanding principal sum at the rate of 1% per annum. In addition, the initial two-year Note term has been extended to five years through mutual agreement with IBERIABANK as allowed under Flexibility Act provisions.

In February 2021, the Company drew an additional $1,233,655 under the PPP Second Draw Loans, bringing the total principal borrowed to $2,467,311. The additional draw is under the same terms and conditions as the first PPP loan.

The Flexibility Act also provides that if a borrower does not apply for forgiveness of a loan within 10 months after the last day of the measurement period (“covered period”), the PPP loan is no longer deferred and the borrower must begin paying principal and interest. In addition, the Flexibility Act extended the length of the covered period from eight weeks to 24 weeks from receipt of proceeds, while allowing borrowers that received PPP loans before June 5, 2020 to determine, at their sole discretion, a covered period of either 8 weeks or 24 weeks.

No interest or principal will be due during the deferral period, although interest will continue to accrue over this period. As of May 31, 2022, interest totaling $15,353 is recorded in accrued interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. After the deferral period and after considering any loan forgiveness applicable to the Note, any remaining principal and accrued interest will be payable in substantially equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the Note.

The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the loan. The Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the Note at any time without payment of any penalty or premium.

The Company applied for forgiveness of the first PPP note and in July 2021 received notice that $1,209,809 of the $1,233,656 note payable balance has been forgiven. The portion of the loan forgiven has been recorded as income from the extinguishment of its loan obligation as of the date when the Company is legally released from being the primary obligor in accordance with ASC 405-20-40-1. Monthly payments commenced on September 1, 2021 and as of November 30, 2024, the Company owes $1,929 with respect to the remaining balance on the first Note.

In April 2022, the Company applied for partial forgiveness of the PPP Second Draw Loan and received notice that $67,487 of the principal and related interest balance has been forgiven and is recorded as income from the extinguishment of the loan obligation. Monthly payments of $26,752 commenced on June 3, 2022. The Company was in arrears on payments on the second PPP Note and on December 5, 2023 entered into a Payment Plan arrangement for the PPP Second Draw Loan. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company agreed to pay the SBA the principal amount of $979,178 and 180 monthly payments of $5,860 which includes interest. The Company made the first payment under the Plan in December 2023. If the Company does not make the payments described in the Plan pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the entire remaining amount will be subject to collection activities by the Department of Treasury. The Company may also be subject to additional accrued interest and collection fees of 30% or more if it does not make the payments pursuant to the Plan. As of November 30, 2024, the Company is current and compliant with the restructured payment plan and owes $918,367 with respect to the remaining balance on the Second Note.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) of Laredo Oil, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for the quarter ended November 30, 2024, includes consolidated comparative financial statements and disclosures for the quarter ended November 30, 2023 which have been restated from the Form 10-Q previously filed for the quarter ended November 30, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 19,2024 (the “2023 Original Filing”).

Reference Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements for detailed disclosure of items amended by this restatement.

Restatement of the Financial Statement for Fiscal Quarter Ended November 30, 2023

This Form 10-Q restates the 2023 Original Filing and related disclosures arising from an impairment analysis during the 2024 audit and the related reaudit of the Company’s fiscal year 2023 financial statements.

The reaudit requirement was authorized by the Company during the audit engagement for the year ended May 31, 2024. For the year ended May 31, 2024, a new auditing firm was engaged to replace the previous auditing firm, BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”), who performed the audit in connection with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 included in the 2023 Original Filing.

During fiscal 2024, on May 3, 2024 the SEC entered, and the Company became aware of, an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against Borgers, which order includes denying Borgers the privilege of appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant. The Company and its new auditing firm determined that the 2023 audit performed by Borgers should not be included in the 2024 filing, and the Company expanded its engagement with the new auditing firm to include a reaudit of the 2023 financial statements.

In the course of the 2023 reaudit, procedures were applied that led the Company and the new auditors to believe sufficient audit procedures were not performed by Borgers when auditing the 2023 financial statements.

For the year ended May 31, 2024, management applied accounting procedures to examine the need for an impairment adjustment to the carrying value of its unevaluated oil and natural gas properties. A triggering event related to the evaluation of the economic viability related to the Company’s Olfert 11-4 well on May 31, 2023 was noted. Although negotiation discussions with salt-water disposal well operators in the area have been in progress for over two years, there was no assurance that access would, in fact, be attained in a timely manner. Additionally, the value of the Company’s Cat Creek Holdings, LLC (“Cat Creek”) equity method investment was determined to have no continuing value. The conclusion reached was to impair 100% of the carrying value of the Company’s oil assets associated with the well and the remaining Cat Creek investment balance as of May 31, 2023. The new auditing firm recommends that this higher impairment is more in line with the standard practices within the oil and gas exploration industry during periods in which unevaluated oil wells and loss producing investments are recorded.

Given the combined auditing engagement for 2023 with the audit for 2024, the Company recorded an impairment adjustment as of May 31, 2023 and at May 31, 2024. As a result, our previously issued 2023 financial statements included in the Original Filing should no longer be relied upon.

Except for the changes relating to this impairment adjustment for 2023 and changes relating to asset adjustments, no other changes have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2023. Reference Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Business

We are an oil exploration and production company, primarily engaged in acquisition and exploration efforts to find mineral reserves on various properties. From our inception in March 2008 through October 2009, we were primarily engaged in acquisition and exploration efforts for mineral properties. Beginning in October 2009, we shifted our focus to locating mature oil fields with the intention of acquiring those oil fields and recovering stranded oil reserves using enhanced recovery methods. From June 14, 2011 to December 31, 2020, we were a management services company, managing the acquisition and operation of mature oil fields, focused on the recovery of “stranded” oil from those mature fields using enhanced oil recovery methods for our then sole customer, Stranded Oil Resources Corporation, or SORC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alleghany Corporation, or Alleghany. We performed those services in exchange for a quarterly management fee and reimbursement from SORC of our employee related expenses. Such fees and reimbursements were effectively all of our revenues prior to the closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement with Alleghany described below.

On December 31, 2020, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Alleghany. Under that agreement, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of SORC. As consideration for the SORC shares, we paid Alleghany $72,678 in cash and agreed to pay Alleghany a seven-year royalty of 5.0% of our future revenues and net profits from our oil, gas, gas liquids and all other hydrocarbon operations, subject to certain adjustments. Currently, SORC is not conducting any ongoing operations.

Prior to December 31, 2020, while implementing underground gravity drainage, or UGD, projects for Allegheny, we gained specialized know-how and operational experience in evaluating, acquiring, operating and developing oil and gas properties, as well as expertise in designing, drilling and producing conventional oil wells. Based upon that know-how, we identified and acquired 45,246 gross acres, and 37,932 net acres, of mineral property interests in the State of Montana. We began drilling an exploratory well in Montana during May 2022. That well, named the Olfert 11-4 well, has not yet been completed or put into production. More recently, we are continuing our efforts to complete the Olfert 11-4 well and begin commercial production. We have also developed relationships with Texakoma Exploration and Production, LLC, or Texakoma, and Erehwon Oil & Gas, LLC, or Erehwon, designed to develop our acquired mineral property acreage. We also have raised over $2.7 million from accredited investors pursuant to a participation agreement to fund the development of up to three wells in the Midfork oil field in Montana. The first well, Reddig 11-21, has been drilled and is in the process of being put into production. We are continually attempting to raise additional funds to develop our other mineral property interests we have purchased. Our various projects and relationships are described in more detail below. Our ability to secure additional funding will determine whether we can achieve any future production for the acreage, and if we can secure such financing, the pace of field development.

Relationship with Erehwon Oil & Gas, LLC

In connection with securing this acreage in Montana, Lustre Oil Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Lustre”), entered into an Acquisition and Participation Agreement (the “Erehwon APA”) and subsequent amendments with Erehwon Oil & Gas, LLC (“Erehwon”) to acquire oil and gas interests and drill, complete, re-enter, re-complete, sidetrack, and equip wells in Valley County, Daniels County and Roosevelt County, Montana. The amended Erehwon APA specifies calculations for royalty interests and working interests for the first ten well completions and first ten well recompletions and for all additional wells and recompletions thereafter. Lustre will acquire mineral leases and pay 100% of the costs and the split between Erehwon and Lustre will be 20%/80%. Under the amended Erehwon APA, Lustre will fund 100% of the construction costs of the first ten wells and first ten completions. Until payout as defined is attained, the distribution split between Erehwon and Lustre will be 10%/90%, thereafter, 20%/80%. Any additional wells will be funded 80% by Lustre and 20% by Erehwon.

Royalty expenses for these wells will consist of a royalty interest to the landowner and an overriding royalty interest of between 3% and 6% to two individuals who generated the prospects. Those individuals will also receive an amount equal to 5% of the cost of the first ten new wells we complete and the first ten completed recompletions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Hell Creek Crude, LLC Midfork Field Production Well

In December 2023, we entered into a Participation Agreement, through Hell Creek Crude, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (“HCC”), Erehwon, and various accredited investors. The Participation Agreement provided us with over $2.4 million to acquire certain leases and to drill a development well in the Midfork Field in Montana. Several of the investors also hold $575,000 of our convertible debt, plus accrued interest of $73,317, which indebtedness is included as investments under the Participation Agreement.

Until the total of the $3.0 million in cash, notes and accrued interest is repaid to the various investors under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the net working interest payments from the Participation Agreement will be split between the various investors and HCC and Erehwon, collectively on a 90%/10% basis. After the repayment to the investors, the split between the investors, on one hand, and HCC and Erehwon, on the other hand, will be on a 50%/50% basis. After the development well is drilled under the Participation Agreement, the investors will have the option to invest in up to two additional wells in the field.

Olfert 11-4 Montana Well

In January 2022, we executed a Net Profits Interest Agreement with Erehwon and Olfert No. 11-4 Holdings, LLC, or Olfert Holdings, for the purpose of funding the first well, named Olfert #11-4, under the Acquisition and Participation Agreement described above. In exchange for Olfert Holdings’ funding of the development of Olfert #11-4, Olfert Holdings receives 90% of amounts resulting from Olfert #11-4 prior to “Payout” and 50% after “Payout.” The Net Profits Interest Agreement defines “Payout” as the point in time when the aggregate of all ‘Net Profits Interest’ payments made to Olfert Holdings under the agreement equals 105% of the total well development costs.

We also entered into the Olfert Holdings operating agreement, under which we agreed to make a capital contribution to Olfert Holdings in the amount of $500,000, out of a total of $1,500,000 of capital to be raised by Olfert Holdings. As of May 31, 2024, we were credited with a contribution of $59,935 in market value of well development costs, representing a 4.4% interest in Olfert Holdings. Since then, other investors, including our Chief Financial Officer, assumed and funded our remaining capital commitment under the Olfert Holdings operating agreement.

As part of our annual impairment analysis and in conjunction with our annual financial audit, we decided to take an accounting impairment charge to reduce the asset value of the Olfert 11-4 well to salvage value. Although we still are working to put the well into production, it has been two years since the well was shut-in pending gaining access to a proximate salt-water disposal well making the well economically viable. Although the asset carrying value of the well has been reduced, we will continue to complete the well and bring it into production.

Development Agreement with Texakoma Exploration and Production, LLC

Effective July 18, 2023, Lustre and Erehwon entered into an Exploration and Development Agreement (the “Development Agreement”), with Texakoma. The Development Agreement provides for the exploration and development of the “Lustre Field Prospect” described in the Development Agreement. Lustre and Erehwon are also parties to an existing Acquisition and Participation Agreement, under which those parties agreed to acquire certain oil and gas interests, and drill, complete, re-enter, re-complete, sidetrack, and equip wells, in certain counties in Montana.

Under the terms of the Development Agreement, Texakoma agreed to pay Lustre and Erehwon, jointly, the following amounts: (i) $175,000 on or before July 21, 2023; and (ii) another $175,000 upon the “spudding” of the initial test well subject to rig availability. Upon the spudding of that test well, Lustre and Erehwon were required to deliver to Texakoma a partial assignment of an 85% working interest in the oil and gas leases covering the first two initial drilling and spacing units. The first payment under the Development Agreement was paid by Texakoma at the end of August 2023, and the second $175,000 payment on September 29, 2023.

The two test wells were successfully drilled and Texakoma paid 100% of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of the wells. Lustre and Erehwon jointly, have an undivided 15% working interest, carried through the tanks, in those two wells. In March 2024, Texakoma exercised its option to participate in the development of the remainder of the Lustre Field Prospect. By exercising its option, Texakoma agreed to drill eight additional wells, with Lustre and Erehwon having a 15% working interest carried through the tanks, and to pay Lustre $706,603 spread over four months, for an 85% leasehold interest in the next eight drill sites and a 50% leasehold interest in the balance of the Lustre Field Prospect acreage. As of May 31, 2024, $377,901 of the contractual amount was settled. The remaining balance was paid as of August 1, 2024. The working and net revenue interest in any wells drilled subsequent to the first ten wells will be shared by Texakoma and Lustre and Erehwon, jointly, on a 50:50 basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

As of November 30, 2024, Texakoma was preparing three wells for production pending final permitting and operational readiness of the Cranston saltwater disposal well purchased by Lustre Oil Company on September 10, 2024.

Additional Acreage North of the Fort Peck Reservation

We are in the process of raising $7.5 million to drill three exploratory wells by selling units of West Fork Resources, LLC. The purpose of the package is to prove up portions of our over 30,000 acres of mineral rights located north of the Fort Peck Reservation at the western edge of the Williston Basin. Preliminary development operations such as acquiring seismic data, site selection, permitting, etc. are in process.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Wells associated with the Texakoma agreement and the HCC well described above are being put into production pending operational completion of the Cranston saltwater disposal well. Until we receive adequate revenue from those wells, any cash needed for operations and oil field expansion and development will most likely come from the sale of our debt and equity securities. From May 31, 2024 through November 30, 2024, we have raised $960,200 from the sale of 2,184,186 shares of unregistered common stock to accredited investors.

Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash on November 30, 2024 was $1,883,935. Our total debt outstanding as of November 30, 2024 was $2,937,776, including (i) $617,934 owed to Alleghany, which is classified as a current note payable, (ii) $920,296 pursuant to notes under the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, of which we have classified $856,946 as long-term debt, net of the current portion totaling $63,350, which is classified as a current note payable, (iii) $47,386 short term convertible notes and bridge security, net of deferred debt discount, (iv) a $310,061 revolving note classified as short-term, (v) a $750,000 note payable due to Cali Fields LLC, classified as short-term, and (vi) a $292,099 note payable due to our Chief Financial Officer, classified as short-term.

Results of Operations

During the six months ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized $7,688 of revenue from one of the three Texakoma wells being put into production. It is expected that the wells will experience increased production after the Cranston SWD well becomes operational.

During the six months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred operating expenses of $1,383,101 and $2,221,351, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business, the preparation and filing of our required public reports and stock option compensation expense. The decrease in expenses for the six months ended November 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expenses, offset by a net increase in other professional fees including IT, legal and accounting services.

During the six months ended November 30, 2024, we recognized other income related to the final two payments under the Texakoma Development Agreement. During the six months ended November 30, 2023, we recognized other income and expenses comprised of $175,000 related to the sale of underground drilling equipment that formerly had been used in drilling operations in the Fredonia underground gravity drainage project and $175,000 related to the first payment and $65,395 as a portion of the second payment as required under the Texakoma Development Agreement.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, the Company recognized $1,640 of revenue from one of the three Texakoma wells being put into production. It is expected that the wells will experience increased production after the Cranston SWD well becomes operational.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred operating expenses of $712,742 and $871,772, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses incurred in connection with the day-to-day operation of our business, the preparation and filing of our required public reports and stock option compensation expense. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributable to stock-based compensation expenses, offset by a net increase in other professional fees including IT, legal and accounting services.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, we recognized minimal other income. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, we recognized other income of $240,395 related to the first payment as required under the Texakoma Development Agreement

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The process of preparing consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and stockholders’ equity/(deficit) at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include estimates related to the valuation of stock-based compensation and asset retirement obligation. Changes in the status of certain facts or circumstances could result in a material change to the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions.

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. We have routinely incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit. We have recently received loans from accredited investors to fund our operations. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future to meet our operating needs. This situation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within the one-year period after the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Our management has undertaken steps to improve operations, with the goal of sustaining operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include an ongoing effort to raise funds through the issuance of debt to fund our well development program and maintain operations. We have attracted and retained key personnel with significant experience in the industry. At the same time, in an effort to control costs, we have required a number of our personnel to multi-task and cover a wider range of responsibilities in an effort to restrict the growth of our headcount. There can be no assurance that we can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that we will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. We cannot assure you that any additional financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements or other such unrecorded obligations, and we have not guaranteed the debt of any other party.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash equivalents. We invest in high-quality financial instruments, and we believe we are subject to limited credit risk. Due to the short-term nature of our cash, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (Continued)

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure because of a material weakness in our control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that as of November 30, 2024, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to ensure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner. This material weakness resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Our small size and limited resources have prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Further we have limited specific oil and gas accounting personnel in our accounting department due to our small size, lack of resources and limited technical accountants on staff. This led to material adjustments to oil and gas investment and asset impairment evaluations. It is difficult for us to effectively segregate accounting duties and have proper financial reporting, which creates a material weakness in internal controls. This lack of segregation of duties and limited personnel leads management to conclude that our financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed summarized and reported as and when required.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

None.
